Test that One also

When I say test that one also, I really mean that you should test out anything or for that matter everything in life before we commit to it.
Take the case of the daily milk we consume...I have myself tested out so many brands before I zeroed on to the Slim Milk brand which is healthy and gives a good taste.Has lesser contents of dissolved fats and can be drunk straight from the pack if need be.
Now here I will talk about the Guru's we come across in our daily life.
Have you tested Him out or are you just being a foolish follower and listen to that teachings He dishes out to the hoards of His followers?
You can read a book by BVK Iyengar or any other Yoga exponent and do the yogic exercises and achieve that 'high' if you wish to. If you really crave for a high you can get it by doing drugs or having booze!! And if you care for ecstasy then you can get it by sex also.
Then what exactly are you getting from that dude?
You are surely joining His classes for some benefits, right?
You test out every damn thing in your life before you get into it so why are you following that guy like the rats of Hamelin?You think He is a Pied Piper or a flutist?
To test out someone would mean to first study the methods and understand some things and have a test drive so that you are confident that He is the right one for you.
So go ahead and test Him out before you commit yourself to Him!
Get an experience and get fully satisfied before you become His pupil.
Even Ramkrishna Paramhansa asked Swami Vivekananda to test Him out before He came to be His pupil.
Likewise I tested my Guru for who He is and got a wonderful experience before I became His pupil.
So go ahead and test Him out and become His student only after you are fully satisfied otherwise you will become disillusioned before you say Hare Krsna!
So all those who get that social high on attending the weekend classes take note-please know the Guru before you take Him on otherwise you would not only loose your $100 and your peace of mind but also you will be misled!
BTW have you met that dude and discussed any topic in detail with Him?
Oh, okay, He lives in the faraway place and you only see Him on TV and you have never met him in your life ever!!!Tssk,tssk, sad!!

Tarot Cards & I

I have been reading tarot cards for my clients for donkeys years and been in occult for the last 48 years.When I had gone for the Indibloggers meet, the girl sitting behind me introduced herself as a tarot card reader and I was wondering how and why I gave up that beautiful hobby! Last month I trained one person in that lost art of Tarot reading through spiritual methods. The psychic world is filled with such wonders that it is difficult to pin them down to some worldly method of divination. When I started to practice Tarot Card reading here in Bangalore, the world had hardly heard about that. Before I came on the scene, an old Anglo Indian Gentleman called Commander Green practiced it from Brigade Road. Thereafter I started from my tiny store in Indiranagar. I got quite a notoriety since I got a half page write up in the Times Of India and other papers. I never charged a penny to anyone till January 2009. Later to dissuade people from visiting me I charged them, but they never gave up

Somewhere Over The Rainbow....

We want to be a part of her future when she receives the degree. We can tell you with so much of pride, how these years have gone by.  We told her that she should always aim high and she took it to heart. The Market Square in Durham She wanted to make both of us proud so she attempted her IELTS and other subjects which would lead her to admission in the prestigious Durham University, in the United Kingdom. The day she was leaving for Newcastle, we were very afraid. Our little daughter had never traveled anywhere alone in this world. She flew British Airways from Bangalore to Newcastle on Tyne. We were tracing her flight in our computer every moment of time. Our little girl was all alone flying to some foreign land where there wasn't anyone to show her around or receive her. We had never left her a

Should You Celebrate?

I came across a blog where the lady asked why do we have to celebrate some festival or the other? First of all the reason why we should celebrate is not for our own sake but for the reason the day is there. We celebrate Independence day because we got that, Gandhi jayanti for the Great Persona's day, Diwali for defeat of evil, Xmas for the birth of Jesus and so on. Similarly we celebrate our own birthday and anniversaries too, even the day we met our s/o's .The celebrations have nothing to do with the festivities but we adapt according to the ways of the world. There was no loud music earlier but music like shehnai and dholaks were played. The elders were respected and bowed down to. There were hardly any fireworks but now there are and we light fireworks. Can we tell the Chinese not to light then during their festivities? Or the special playfulness at Halloween? We have celebrated Ganesha in a sarvajanik(community) way in Mumbai, where the youngsters gather funds from one and
