70 years back, Gurudev sri Sri Ravi Shankar

70 years back, Gurudev came to this planet under the auspicious “ardra” nakshatra. It coincided with both Shankara Jayanthi and Ramanuja Jayanthi. Love, wisdom, joy and grace consolidated and manifested for the benefit of all of humanity. What a blessing for all of us! In the early years, Maharishi ji once took Gurudev with him to meet Anandmayi Maa in Rishikesh. When she saw him she proclaimed, “You have brought me the Ganga!” The Ganga washes away the sins of everyone who comes to her. in response Maharishi ji said, “ The sun( Ravi) has risen and there will be light everywhere!” And Shankara is the one whose very presence bestows peace. Today, we bow in infinite gratitude to Gurudev, our beloved Master whose presence shines the light of wisdom and anchors us in absolute peace and joy; whose words and silence bring serenity and tranquility to our mind; whose glance fills our heart with absolute bliss; whose benevolence showers the nectar of grace every moment; whose smile makes our life a celebration! He is the sacred essence of life! And we are so blessed and grateful that it flows in such abundance in ours. Millions of lives continue to blossom in their smiles with his blessings and grace. Thank you Gurudev for this wonderful and precious life! Jai Guru Dev -Smt Bhanumati Narasimhan (Gurudev's Sister)
