...Back to Delhi!

I came back to Delhi on 11^th January 2012. If I look back, everything seems to be a dream. I still can’t believe that my TTC ( Teacher Training course) is over and I’ve become an Art of Living teacher! I went to become a YES!+ teacher but Guruji has blessed me both with Part-1 and YES!+ teacher! :)

I know it’s been almost 2 weeks but there are some moments in life which are JUST so special and memorable. My 21 days TTC was, for me, an experience in itself! I feel so indebted to my Guru, who considered me good enough to be a teacher. I heard from someone that Guruji says that all his teachers are his soul…this sentence brings within so much love, oneness and gratefulness. 

I had almost decided not to go for TTC but things changed and I said a YES. And HOW he has helped me reach his abode..the TTC contribution, my ticket and other things. So much happened during those 21 days…realizations, self awareness, cleansing..it was torturous at times but even the pain brought so much learning.

I’d reached Ashram 2 days before the TTC and planned to visit the city. But I think Guruji makes sure that your planning goes for a toss and his bigger plan comes into play! For me I think, my TTC training started 2 days earlier ’coz I got a dormitory to stay (which I’d been resisting since 2 years). And to top it all, I was told that TTC participants will be staying in dormitory! I mean to imagine around 250 staying in a big hall for 21 days, with just 6 washrooms and hardly few hours to sleep daily, I desperately needed a room! I cribbed for almost a day, telling it to everyone I knew and seeking comfort from them. But then I started finding positives in it and somehow I became ok with the idea of staying there. And that night itself I got 5 people sharing room :)

 

Just before the advent of the TTC training, I got a swelling in my lower back. I always had this fear of getting back pain while being in Ashram. This time it seemed that all my fears would become reality! But my mentor told me just 1 thing – Surrender. Despite all ifs and buts, I sat through the entire 21 days. 

There were days I fell ill and wanted to skip going for early morning Sadhna. We hardly got to sleep well so I would wish to just doze off till late. Some sessions were panicky and I dreaded them initially. With high satvik food to eat, desire would come up to eat something good, may be just cookies or a sandwich if not more ;) But I feel really proud of myself that I didn’t bow down to my laziness or desires. I overcame so many blockages and fears during these 21 days which I’d never realized I had!

Each day, each moment of TTC was made possible only by Guruji. I could feel his presence so strongly. When I shut my intellect and left it to Guruji, everything fell in place and that too effortlessly.

After coming back to Delhi, I organized a YES!+ course in which I implemented all the TTC learnings. Currently, 90+ people YES!+ is on, which I’m assisting. I have no words to express what grace I’ve felt during the last 4 days! In 1 or 2 instances, I literally had goosebumps!

There’s lot more ahead I know, ‘coz its just the beginning… :)

Keep Smiling :)
