2nd October & 1st May are always celebrated by the Foundation under Sadguru Mangeshdaji's guidance as Kriyaban Get-together (Melawa). This is the day when all Kriyabans can practice Kriya Sadhana under the Master's watchful eyes and it's a great pleasure for all the sadhaks.

Yesterday also Sadguruji blessed all the Kriyabans with His Divine teachings & grace. 2nd October is a very special day for many reasons. Number one…. 14 years back on the same day, Sadguruji started bestowing Kriya Diksha to the spiritual seekers and this was the day when He initiated a huge number into Kriya Diksha in a marathon session…. and from now on the pious process is going on and on! Jai ho! Secondly it's the birth anniversary of Father of our nation – Mahatma Gandhiji who was a Kriya Yogi himself.

The session started with all the trustees joining Sadguruji on the stage for National Anthem and then the session began. Sadguruji very fondly remembered the day 14 years back & then He called all Kriyabans initiated on 2nd October 2001 on the stage. A very proud & nostalgic moment for all the Kriyabans initiated on that day.

Sadguruji then guided the Melawa with His mesmarising Amritwani. He emphasized the Importance of regular practice of Kriya Yoga, how Kriya Yoga helps a person to grow in all aspects of life. All Kriyabans practices the Asanas, Pranayams, Kriyas under His watchful eyes. Its always a bliss to be with Sadguruji for a whole day. He taught some new techniques of Kriya Yoga. Sadguruji was in superb flow as He narrated the importance of Bhagwad Gita and how it is of immense benefit to all spiritual seekers on all paths of life. One felt that Sadguruji may go and on with His divine words.

In the second half of the day there was a review of various activities during the last one year & guess what in a span of 365 days, there were 54 activities done by the Foundation under His leadership. Isn't that truly awesome? And it involved activities on all fronts be it Spiritual, Social, Arts & Music. Jai Ho. It was sheer pleasure rewinding to those events and re-live those wonderful moments. There were some awesome sharings by Atul Sneha Heera and many more. Atul's sharing touched the heart of all as he fluently explained how his life has been transformed after he met Sadguruji. And you will be glad to know that TRANSFORMATION (Parivartan) was the theme of Yesterday's Kriya Melawa.

The compering was done by Rajeev & Priya who were fantastic in their job. Ramesh gave all the technical support. Various inputs by Prakash, Sandeep helped everyone to know about the upcoming Foundation activities. IT WAS A PROUD MOMENT FOR ALL OF US WHEN SANDEEP DECLARED THAT SADGURUJI WILL BE RECEIVING AN AWARD ON 3RD OCTOBER FROM INDO VIETNAM MEDICAL SOCIETY FOR HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE FIELD OF YOGA & ALETERNATE HEALING!! The applause that started went on and on for some time. Jai ho! We are sure that this is just the beginning!!

Its always a pleasure spending the whole day with the Master. You get so much of wisdom, new knowledge, a variety of input and of course His grace & blessings. People from various parts of the country travel to Mumbai for this special day. Thank You Sadguruji for this wonderful get-together. During the course of sharings we also learnt that Sadguruji was in the hospital the previous day for a minor surgery and required medical attention. But look at His commitment!! He was there for the Melawa before time, guided all throughout the day and no one would have realized that He had been hospitalized, if He would not have declared. Revered Sadguruji, if we Kriyabans have to learn and imbibe any first thing… then this is the thing – COMMITMENT! Jai ho!!

All in all a wonderful day well spent with THE MASTER! Kudos to Abhijeet & all the organizers for their support.
