新聞洪流 News Flood

本週有許多的新聞，因此現在我們就只發出一大堆新聞！
這是個忙碌刺激的一週，即使是依據古儒吉的標準亦是如此。上星期五，古儒吉在一天之中對三個唱場談話，開始是在印奇拉由數千個貧民參加的鄉村唱場，接著在貝爾高有個短暫的停留，是與熱情的虔信者的聚會，隨後前往高雅參加一個都會傑出人士的唱場，在那兒我們的巴將震盪洋溢著每個角落。
阿米達巴德在古儒吉問隔兩後才再度拜訪全都士氣高昂—古遮拉省的老師全體通力合作，使本次的唱場成為有史以來最盛大的一次。早晨有兩萬五千多人，在古儒吉現場親自帶領下，一齊練習淨化呼吸法。宇宙的韻律被啟動了，三隻老鷹在現場上空盤桓，其他成群的飛鳥亦加入行列，人們經驗到強烈無比的體驗、各種芬芳、天候亦出現了種種的變化模式。許多人說道：他們在這練習之前的生命，與當時所進行的，真是截然的不同。那經驗對他們而言正是如此的盛大強烈。淨化呼吸練習之後，參加的人員都享受到精心準備的豐盛午餐──義工群安排了60個櫃台分送食物給大家！
晚間，同一個板球體育場經過改造，一朵巨大方蓮花底座上安置著古儒吉的坐席，球場四周到處置放著電視看牆。人們川流不息地進來，即使節目尚未開始，卻已興高彩烈，全部群眾在二十萬人左右！因為本次的活動，交通警察早就宣布了分道交通管制辦法，使整個活動私毫不紛亂地進行。
在整整27分鐘紋風不動的靜心之後，群眾站起來唱歌、跳舞。警備處的副督察說道：雖然八配置了500名微薄的警力，但他們卻仍是無所事事，因為群眾都很至福愉快，同時又有秩序。連警察都擁抱人，他們還坦承是因為他們的制服使得他們無法加入跳舞的行列。遠從多瓦卡古城（克里希納時代的首都）來的高僧，邀請古儒吉當地去拜訪。他還為古儒吉戴上他們自廟中的神像身上所摘下來的光輝燦爛的頭飾。
次日是古遮拉靜心所立基典禮的日子。靜心所位於瑪黑河畔。在偉地雅拿嘎一個簡短的唱場之後，古儒吉對三千多名青少年全方位卓越訓練課程的小孩子們講話。那是有史以來最精彩的問與答片段──在小孩子與智者間交替著機智的問與答。
熱情的虔信者清晨四點鐘在珍那嘎帶著樂隊等待著古儒吉的到來。古儒吉拜訪了克里希納的古城多瓦卡，並在該城古老的多瓦卡地希廟中進行了一個偉希奴守護神的禮拜祭典。當馬車載著古儒吉繞著多瓦卡的大街小巷遊城時，整個城市都在舞蹈著──那是個無休止的歡慶。
當晚，在返回阿米達巴德之前，我們在珍那嘎又有另一場神聖唱場。至福喜悅的人們，現在正達了德里，在前往聖人村的道路上。

Weekly Knowledge #243 New Delhi 02 Mar 2000 India
This week we had so much newsthat we are sending just the news flood!
It has been an unusually hectic week even by Sri Sri's standards. Last Friday, Sri Sri addressed three satsangs in a single day, starting with the rural satsang among thousands of poor people of Inchilla, a brief stopover with the enthusiastic devotees of Belgaum, and on to the urban elite of Goa, with the sound of our bhajans reverberating everywhere.
Ahmedabad was all keyed up as Sri Sri returned after a two-year gap.Teachers from all over Gujarat had been working together to make this the biggest satsang ever. In the morning, over 25, 000 people did the Sudarshan Kriya conducted "live" by Sri Sri...Intense experiences, strong fragrances, changes in the weather pattern were happening as three eagles circled directly overhead, joined by a flock of other birds Ö a cosmic rhythm was set in motion. Many people shared that their entire life was one side and this event on the other, such was the magnitude of the experience for them. Kriya was followed by an elaborate lunch for the participants the network of volunteers had organised 60 counters to feed all of them!
In the evening, the same cricket stadium was transformed, with a huge lotus designed up in the stands for Guruji to sit in, and video screens all over the grounds. It was a sight to see streams of people flooding in, all excited and happy even before the program began, the crowd totalled nearly 200,000! The traffic diversion for the event was announced by the traffic police well in advance, as THE event took off without any chaos.
Following 27 minutes of total, still meditation, the entire crowd were on their feet, singing and dancing Ö the sub-inspector of police remarked that even though a meagre force of 500 was deployed, they had nothing to do, so blissful and orderly was the crowd. The policemen would hug people, and confessed that only their uniform was preventing them from joining the dance. The high priests of the ancient city of Dwarka (Krishna's capital), came all the way to invite Guruji, and placed a resplendent turban (which was from the temple deity) on His head.
The next day was the foundation-laying ceremony of the Gujarat ashram on the banks of the river Mahi. After a brief satsang in Vidyanagar, Guruji addressed over 3,000 Art Excel kids Ö it was the best ever question-and-answer session, with witty one-line exchanges between the little ones and the Wise One.
Enthusiastic devotees with a live band awaited Guruji at 4 am in Jamnagar. Guruji visited the ancient capital of Krishna in Dwarka for a Vishnu Yagna in the ancient Dwarkadheesh Temple. The entire city danced as Guruji was taken in a horse-drawn carriage through the streets of Dwarka's it was a non-stop celebration.
That evening, we had another Divine Satsang in Jamnagar, before returning to Ahmedabad. The blissful ones are now in Delhi, en route to Rishikesh.
PS: The three-year-old daughter of one of our devotees fell from a three-story building recently. She told her parents later that "That bearded uncle whose photo we have at home He caught me!" She escaped totally unhurt. (Caution: Please don't try this at home!!)
Jai Guru Dev
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
Dear Ones, Some days ago I posted this on the Satsang email but am not sure the attachment could be opened so here it is as just a plain old email. This effort can be coordinated so that politicians can be contacted by one person acting for each Satsang group. You can contact these folks through the WWW at: http://government.aol.com/mygov/ or http://www.senate.gov/ or http://www.house.gov/
Happy informing and please contact us for info and we would like to collect what you are sending so as to help others with your great ideas. Jai Guru Dev

THIS COMES FROM INDIA:
The Times of India on February 10th came with this article and another about President Clinton's visit to India in March 2000. In light of the increased awareness of the government of the United States we think that now is the time to awaken all sectors of society to The Art of Living and the projects we are doing around the world, especially our 5H program and our schools in Bangalore, Assam and Bengal. We would like committees to be formed from Satsang groups to actively participate in contacting their respective Senators and Representatives in each state as soon as possible to convey the vision of the organization and request for full national participation in our service projects in the rural areas of India. The 5H program involves improvement of the quality of life by addressing Home, Health, Hygiene, Human Values and Harmony in Diversity. For more details about our programs please contact Ajay Tejasvi at ajay_tejasvi@vsnl.com or Dean & Shirley Harmison at Ahimsa108@aol.com.
