Power Grid Failure & Its Social Implications
By now everyone of us must have come to know about the collapse of eastern, northeastern and northern electricity grids that knocked out power in 20 of 29 states and affected some 620 million Indians (around half of India’s population and 9% of the world’s population) causing havoc at train stations, airports, hospitals and on roads.

Aarti (आरती)
Dear Friends, Every night, before retiring for the day, we all sit together and say our prayers, one of which is the Devi Aparadhakshamapan Stotra. Yesterday night, after we had finished saying our prayers, Bapu (Aniruddhasinh), all of a sudden asked Suchit Dada to chant aartis of Sainath.

Shravana Bhakti
Dear Friends, In my previous post on Narration of Experiences, I had dwelt upon the importance of Shravana Bhakti, i.e. bhakti in the form of listening to the glories of the Sadguru and why we should strive to watch and listen atleast one anubhav kathan per day. On last Thursday Bapu (Aniruddhasinh) had, during His discourse, asked us to chant the Gurukshetram Mantra as many times as possible in this holy month of Shraavan. He had
Bapu’s (Aniruddhasinh) Write-up on ‘Financial Terrorism’
My blogpost of 17th July 2012 about the book that Bapu (Aniruddhasinh) gifted me, mentioned the article ‘Financial Terrorism’ written by Bapu (Aniruddhasinh) for the Marathi weekly, ‘Lokaprabha’ (issue dated 22nd August 2003).
