Discipleship Ends
For 7 years, every week Guruji (Sri Sri Ravi Shankar) used to send out a page of Knowledge to be read out and discussed at the satsangs happening all over the world. He used to call it the Knowledge fax … This was before email became popular enough for everyone to use 
Every week we waited eagerly for what Guruji would say through these Knowledge Sheets, many times we would be with Him while He dictated them out and we compiled them. The atmosphere would always be full of wisdom coupled with big doses of mirth. And the Knowledge sheets themselves are always profound, sometimes quite funny…
Dinesh and i decided to do a commentary on them, reliving those precious moments spent with Guruji, reading them out for you and peppering them with stories and examples of how this Knowledge from Him has come alive for us in our lives.
Re reading them now, after so many years of Sadhana, Seva and Satsang has made us realise just how beautiful and precious these words from Him are … We are thoroughly enjoying ourselves making these videos, we know you will love watching them too.
Knowledge sheet no. 19

Jai Gurudev! Bau,
Yesterday, on Guru Purnima tithi I ask you to bless me to be a worthy disciple and today I hear this knowledge sheet! Bau, I’d definitely love to be ‘sakha’ (‘sakhi?’), but it says discipleship ends after 12 years so then how do I ascertain when my discipleship ends and the ‘sakha’/'sakhi’ hood begins? Is it always a 12 year span? When can I technically call myself a ‘sakha’? The very thought of being friends with the Divine is indeed intoxicating. Do feel heady at times.
Lots of love and regards, (Thanks for the knowledge sheets)
Sonia
discipleship may end, devoteeship never does
I do not know
Thanks for the answer Bau.
Love you,
Jai Gurudev!
I like this old man in the video commenting on the knowledge sheets. I am reminded of my deceased grandfather.
we also like this old man … he seems to have stopped writting…do you spot anyone who reminds you of your grandmom?.. may be that will help
Oye! Oye! This is an emergency!
Calling all grandmas, age fifty to ninety
Receding hairline? Almost toothless?
Arthritic, diabetic, mostly clueless?
Please! We’re not that shallow and we’re not that choosy
As long as you’re vegetarian, and not boozy
Wrinkled skin? Loss of memory?
You’ve forgotten what we’re talking about already?
Never mind (sigh!) I’ll start again
This grandpa of ours, he’s an absolute gem
He’ll play Mozart on the piano clef
Damn! Forgot you were almost deaf
You can’t cook? Pasta, pizza, methi-aloo?
Never mind, he’ll do that too!!
Seriously lady! You’ve got to be blind as a bat
Oops, bifocals…hadn’t noticed that
This grandpa of ours, needs a bit of inspiration
A little stirring of the imagination
If you helped us out, we’ll find a way to repay
How about new dentures for your next birthday??
Guys, if we don’t have a new post within 24 hours of this comment, i propose we insert this ad in all the matrimonial columns. Yes, Bau, that’s a threat!
Excellent poem suparna. Perfect treat(threat) to our “GRAND-Pa”
