Om Ji All,

Would like to share my experience on the Bhrigu Yatra that happened From June 26th to July 10th to Alaska and ended in Vancouver.

I had come to the Bhrigu Yatra only to be in GuruJi and GuruMa’s company. The way the visa came the same day I had to travel to US from India and got the tickets too was all His grace and it was His blessing that I could make it to the yatra.

The yatra was supremely divine. GuruJi mentioned that the mountains of Alaska were a part of Kailash mountains in the past and the whole yatra indeed was a teerth yatra just because of their presence.

GuruJi said that being with the Guru is not easy. The first thing that needs to be worked upon when with the Guru is discipline. Getting up on time everyday, doing kriya and gather for the daily prayers and satsanga on time was the first test of the day. Satsangas would happen all through the day anywhere. It was really amazing to see how GuruJi balanced out everything while always being immersed in God. The day when we went to the Mendenhall Glacier, while coming back from the glacier, it was evening time when we were rowing the canoe and GuruJi did the evening prayers on the boat itself. It was so beautiful! While the beautiful and untouched nature there itself brought so much surrender, the reminder that our commitment to God is the most important thing made it all divine.

Similarly, when we went for the train ride to Yukon, we had to start early and once we boarded the train, GuruJi started with the morning prayers. However, in sometime, the staff there started doing some announcements. GuruJi waited for them to complete and as soon as they took a pause, GuruJi started again. However, in a couple of mins they started with some other announcements . We could see that GuruJi waited for them for some more time and then started in a lower volume simultaneously. When they would stop, you would start again in high volume so that everyone could hear. It was really humbling to see how GuruJi was lovingly doing the prayers to God and was also trying to make all of us a part of it. GuruJi tried keeping all of us together all the time and had constant remembrance of those who were not with us. He also took the pics and kept sending on the group live for everyone so that everyone could feel blessed and feel a part of the yatra. Same with the bhrigu bindus and the mini pravachans. It brings so much surrender to see how religiously GuruJi follows the daily routine, at the same time striking a fine balance with the worldly and taking everyone with Him caring for all.

The presence of the Maharishis could be felt throughout.Wherever we went, we were told that the day and the weather is exceptional and that only 30% of the people get to experience the completeness. Crows were present everywhere. Be it while doing the satsangas and the pooja at the cruise where they would fly by and we could see them from the window, or the extreme weather in Mendenhall Glacier, or during the Guru Poornima Pooja in Vancouver or even while going for lunch or dinner.

GuruJi constantly teaches us to see the divinity in everything through example. With Him and GuruMa, we also learn all the time about how to balance it out with the worldly and how to enjoy the worldly but with focus on God.

I felt blessed to be a part of the Guru Poornima Pooja with GuruJi and GuruMa. It was through His grace that we got everything required for the pooja so seamlessly. It is amazing how everyone contributes in their own unique way in the parivar and makes it a whole.

Listening to the Nadi reading the other day was a truly truly divine experience. I cannot express how humble and surrendered I felt when the Maharishi said that he is happy and santusht with GuruJi. What could be greater for a shishya if the Guru feels santusht. That itself shows what a wonderful shishya GuruJi is. I wish I too follow GuruJi’s foot prints and become a better shishya.

It kept coming that being stated in the self, being ourself, being true to oneself and not bother about anything else is the most important thing. Although, some of us are not physically close to the ashram, and while it is a blessing to be close to the Guru, GuruJi keeps everyone together. If we be surrendered and follow the divine guidance which is bestowed to all of us by Him in the form of satsangas, prayers, blessings, daily inspiration and the gift of Kriya, we are always connected to Him and to the divine.

Thanking GuruJi and GuruMa for the wonderful experience and for everything.

I have known GuruJi and Guruma for almost 12 years now. This organization, GuruJi and Guruma have helped me a lot

There are daily pravachans and satsangas which happen at the ashram and are freely distributed to all devotees. These pravachans are based on our scriptures varying from Upanishads, Mahabharata, Srimad Bhagvad, Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Geeta, Yoga Vasishtha etc. For most of us, even though we want to read these scriptures, we are unable to make time for it and even when we make time, it is very difficult to understand them and make sense out of them which you can actually implement in daily life. GuruJi gives these discourses and explains things in a manner which start making sense and you are able to see opportunities where spirituality can be practised in your daily life. He makes spirituality a part of daily life for us.

We hear from a lot of people that to practice spirituality, you don't have to go to himalayas and that it can be practised while being in grihastha ashram and performing your daily duties. GuruJi and Guruma are a perfect example of it and also set a model before us. While being in the world and participating in it, they teach us how to still remain detached and keep fixated on the ultimate goal.

GuruJi also initiated me into Geeta Divya Kriya Yoga. This is a scientific meditative technique which helps calm our minds and fills us with positive energy, awareness and gratitude. GuruJi and Guruma always guide us to be consistent and regular with the practice and motivate us all the time to understand its importance. This kriya yoga technique helps keep me grounded and fills me with gratitude for the spiritual masters who are there to guide us. It cleanses all the doubts and useless thoughts in the mind and the inner light fills us with divine energy. When GuruJi initiates us into this practice, he gives us the divine experience of divine light, sound and vibration. After having this experience once through the Guru's grace, and having felt its joy and divinity, we feel even more motivated to experience it again.This meditative practice is the key blessing of the Guru and its only through his practice that the highest goal of human life can be achieved.

I have been guided by both GuruJi and Guruma at multiple times and stages in my life and their regular guidance through satsangas keeps coming everyday anyway. GuruJi and Guruma themselves having experienced all the problems of a householder understand our problems very well and the guidance we get is very practical while at the same time being grounded in the spiritual principles. After getting guidance from them, all doubt vanishes. However, another important thing that we must remember is that Guru always gives and gives to everybody. It is also the shraddha of the devotee which bears fruit.

GuruJi blessed me through gemstones and I have been religiously wearing them all these years. I have seen his blessings materialize in amazing ways. His blessings are not just limited to satsangas and gemstones and guidance. He even gave me a reference when I was looking for a job! and through his blessings, I got a good break! Their kindness and concern for us is incomparable.

I can only say that I have seen Gurus giving things like bhabhoot, water, lemons etc to devotees to remove their problems. Taking these items in the market and trying to find their monetary value will not lead us anywhere. It is the shakti and the blessings of the Guru and the shraddha and faith of the devotee which does wonders.

Since I have been in GuruJi's and Guruma's sharan, I have always known that they are taking care of me. Having a guru is a great blessing and there is nothing which can be compared to it. Me and many others like me have tremendously benefited and are happy to be under their guidance.
