Click to read the first part of this story Sahaj Samadhi Meditation and me
… She (Bhanu didi) began chanting the Pooja in her melodious sing song voice, full of devotion, and i was mesmerised once more at the beauty of the Pooja, taking me to some deep restful place within myself. Too soon the Pooja was over and she whispered the mantra to me… and i had one thought, how am i going to sit here for 20 minutes without a back rest… And right after that, she was saying in a very low voice, become aware of your body and surroundings, slowly open your eyes… It felt like a few seconds, and i was surprized she was asking me to open my eyes so soon… Only then did i realize, that it was not 20 minutes, but 45 minutes that i had been meditating!! And so started my journey with Sahaj, which i feel is the most sublime and transcendent of all the techniques given to us by Guruji.
Of course i still wanted to be a Sahaj teacher more than ever, I told Bhanu didi this. But now knew that i would need much greater depth to myself before i could be made one …
Time and again, Guruji made few other people Sahaj teachers and every time Bhanu didi would faithfully ask what about bawa? and Guruji would change the topic or look the other way 
And the desire stayed.
Guruji had taken me and Dinesh to Guru Poornima at Lake Tahoe,USA. Over there, He wanted to make me a DSN or Adv course teacher (that’s another interesting story for some other time), and i didn’t want to become one, i was thrilled and content just teaching the Basic (Part I) courses. So He asked me ok what do you want? I said i want to teach Sahaj, He laughed and said ok we will make you a Sahaj teacher, (again as if its going to happen in the next week), but right now you teach DSN, people will love it when you teach them. I agreed. BTW, Dinesh became an Adv course teacher at the same time. This was 2001.
Bhanu didi, my darling Sahaj teacher
Then, we taught DSNs and Adv courses for a pretty long time until YES!+ came into our lives and kept us so very busy, that all desire to teach Sahaj, except perhaps for just a teeny, tiny bit had gone away…
26th of May 2009, there was a talk in IISc Bangalore by Guruji. We drove there with Him and after a scintillating talk, drove back again to Ashram with Him. Just as the car was going up the slope to Ganga Kutir where He stays now, a very happy, giggly Bhanu didi announced to Him that 11 more people became Sahaj teachers that evening. When i heard this, i think for the first time, i didn’t get any sort of desire whatsoever to become a Sahaj teacher. Maybe it was because i had just spent the past 5 hours with Guruji, and was so content and blissful, that i didn’t really think i wanted anything else
He went in to His inside room and i followed and soon Bhanu didi burst in, very thrilled that so many more teachers were going to be teaching her beloved Sahaj (She so totally owns the course) soon… Guruji smiled at her and out of the blue asked her, why have you not made bawa a Sahaj teacher yet?!!
Me and Bhanu didi were silent for a moment, we exchanged a look and then she quickly said I will make him one right away! Guruji turns to me and with a knowing twinkle in His eyes, says you should teach Sahaj…
For the first time, neither me nor Bhanu didi had asked Him about making me a Sahaj teacher, He said it Himself!! I was quite, quite thrilled!!
We all went out to His meeting room, where all the newly initiated Sahaj teachers were waiting for Him. Amid great celebration and merriment, they all took His blessings, when suddenly Bhanu didi pushed me forward, telling me, take His blessings, take His blessings and saying to Guruji we are making bawa a Sahaj teacher too. As i bowed down and touched His feet, i was feeling so nice, blessed, content…
Bhanu didi was not done yet. Dinesh was standing to one side, smiling, feeling very nice for me i am sure… He knew how much i had always wanted to teach Sahaj. Bhanu didi tells Guruji, Guruji even Dinesh should become Sahaj teacher … Guruji with mischief and a big twinkle in His eyes nods and she pushed Dinesh to Him, take His blessings, take His blessings!! And so a few minutes after me, Dinesh too became a Sahaj teacher!
It is perhaps one of Guruji’s greatest blessings to be able to learn and practice Sahaj Samadhi meditation… But, it’s a far, far greater blessing to actually get to initiate people into Sahaj and teach this phenomenal course!!
Eventually … He had said, 16 years ago while i was sitting tightly wedged into Him in a car driving somewhere in Bombay… Seems a long time? Doesn’t feel like that to me at all… just feels like a very beautiful dream to me

I remember once when I organized a DSN for you in Bangalore, you were telling me that you want to become a Sahaj teacher. This was in 2002. Really great. Now I want to be one. Will ask Bhanu didi when I meet her for Guru Purnima at Chicago

Jai Gurudev Bau,
It is indeed a very beautiful experience of yours that you have shared with us.
That reminds me about my Sahaj meditation course in Ashram. After getting the mantra even I felt how am I going to do it as I had my ankle fractured but as soon I started meditating all the thoughts vanished and I was feeling very peaceful.
Jai Gurudeva!
Lovely… its just so wonderful to just read it…
Thanx Bau
wonderful post Bau! so beautifully narrated…. i felt as if i was with You all through the experience. my heart beating faster and felt a lump in my throat. Bau, when can we have a sahaj samadhi meditation course with You and Dineshda in Bombay?
Love You Bau n Dineshda.
wow bawa
this post had me all teared up and feeling very very full of some nice sweet mushy thing
love you soo very much .. i love the way you write about guruji ..its like watching a video of the whole thing
jaigurudev!
love
tanu
Yeayyyyy!!
Bau n Dinesh bhaiya! 
Jai Gurudeva!
hey bau ,
awesome… jst this morn i was thinking its been 9 years since i did my basic crse and well ..doesnt seem so loong any more
I wonder why I could not learn Sahaj till now
Hope this is gonna b an end to my waits too
and I love the way u use that ‘H’ everytime! jgd
Wow!! I’m guessing it has something to do with a total surrender of desires…
So beautiful ! This experience filled me with gratitude. I cant even imagine how you must be feeling
ahh…..what a story… 2001 Tahoe…still remember it vividly..had just done Part I and drove up to see Guruji. Wish I had stayed around and done Part II and met you folks then
. Anyways…..great that you are a Sahaj teacher Bawa. Will surely take it with you some day .
.
I struggle with Sahaj though…all kinds of discomforts and pains shoot through my body and I give up many times
JGD
I completely enjoyed this story. It is so beautiful. Really nice of you to share this and other knowledge, recipes, experiences etc. I look forward to reading your blog everyday, it further brightens my day.:-)
Bawa, So when You/Dinesh are taking first Sahaj course ?
This story has touched my heart a lot…feeling like crying…with gratefulness….
Feeling blessed….
you had said in the recent DSN in bombay…
that drop the desire in the universe and it will manifest….
no wonder ur words had such an profound impact on me…
When i learnt sahaj from chaya anna, never practised it, was very content observing breath. After 9 advanced courses ( the last one in may ) suddenly for no reason started practicing sahaj, enjoying thoroughly. Think i am able to meditate now willingly, joyfully,after 4 years into AOL.
Bao keep inspiring us.. ( without tickling
) love you so much
I think i tickle u quite well too prasanna
this is fabulous! Congrats to both of you! you shared the news so beautifully with Guru story, wisdom and love..
Dear Bau,
Your story is such a beautiful lesson to all of us. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us. Congrats on becoming a Sahaj teacher!!! I´m still struggling with Sahaj but hope to get over it sometime.
Lots of Love,
Kaushik
ur nicest post so far………….
Wow Bau
Almost felt I was there present you have described so aptly and so perfect every event
Just Amazed!!!
And Congratulations to YOU and Dinesh Dada for becoming Sahaj Teachers
Love,Swapnil
Jai Gurudeva
if reading this can make me so content. I can only wonder how would it be become one of those who spread his wonderful knowledge.
Jai Gurudev!!
WoW!!
Wonderful Experience shared very nicely!! I just Love to read your blog:)
Wanted to share an experience with you: Just on Sunday I was discussing with my mother that it was a long time since I met Guruji and Yesterday he was here in Delhi!! Till 8 pm i didnt even know that He was in Delhi…I called a friend of mine for dinner and he said that he is in Satsang..Guruji is about to arrive.I just left my office and as I was leaving I met one of my friends who lives in Delhi at a place very near to where Satsang was taking place. What a drive it was – Just a single Red Light in 15kms strectch in NCR!!!!
And I reached there just in time..Had I been 2 mins late, Guruji would have left by then!!
Had I been 2 mins late..Guruji would have left by then!!
With Love,
Jai Gurudev,
Siddharth
This is a DOUBLE celebration! When’s the party and what are you going to cook for us??
And I so want to hear you chant “those Sanskrit words” !!
The way you explain the most profound Sanskrit Shloka in English & often hilariously at that is always such fun!(without uttering the orignal, very conveniently stating you know Guruji can tell you these complicated things, but let me just tell you the English meaning!)
Jai Gurudev! Bau,
WOW!!! I’d love to repeat Sahaj with You and Dineshda! Sahaj (received from dear Alpadi)was like a surprise gift during my advance course with Rishi Vidyadharji. Really loved it then, and everytime I do the meditation, its like a refreshing dip in the holy Ganges.:)
Am i trying to talk here???
Ohhhhhhhhhhh……………………….
Loads and loads of Love….!!
Jai Gurudev!!
Lovely …tears flowing …and can’t get them to stop..
oh bau…… tears in my eyes
…. Guruji is…..
luv u
Congrats Bau,

Jai Gurudev!
2nd para onwards I have been having this biiiiiiiiiiiggggggggg(really big)& blissful smile. smile still continues. last year in a Volunteer meet in Delhi U said “Dinesh & I teach all courses except Sahaj” & the question was so prominent in my mind then onwards “Why not Sahaj”. I am feeling sooo good for U & Dinesh Bhaiya. By now I am having tears in eyes. Congrats Bau:)

Bau…Such a wonderful story…so beautifully written…Am missing you REALLY BAD since the DSN! Can’t wait for the Satsang on June 29th when I’ll get to meet you…Yesterday Guruji visited Bombay and the Yogisabhagrah hall in Dadar was soooooo jam packed, there was JUST no space! So lots of people like me had to sit in the hall on the ground floor and view the event happening inside on a screen…Was a bit disappointing, until Guruji, inside said, ‘Oh there are people outside watching on the projector screen? Triple blessings for them!!’ Oh My, you should’ve heard the uproar that happened in the hall!!
Was amazing!
Hope all is well with you! Love you Tons and Tons!
BIG BIG CONGRATS 2u n Dinesh dada..!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just back today morning after those beautiful days with u n dinesh dada. The time I was there I knew I was one of the chosen one, sitting right there for a GURU PUJA. Though was repeating Sahaj, that moment cant be expressed in words.. BTW Bau even my Sahaj teacher is Bhanu Didi and we had met her on the 2nd day and told her you were taking up Sahaj, and she was telling another person there how you wanted to initiate ppl into Sahaj
Missing Home already though I am at home…
Love you bau.

love you Bau
mesmerized …..this only word comes to my mind…….petrified with the tale.
petrified is not a word i would use here
… means so frightened that you are unable to move 
petrified means really really scared
Jai Gurudeva!
love
bawa
I would love to do Sahaj with you Bawu… I feel it would really add a different dimension to the course itself!
WOW!!!Amazed by Gurudev’s ways!! He leaves no choice!
Congrats ! Longing to do sahaj with u & dinesh da.
Bau thanks a lott for sharing such a beautiful story of urs wid all of us..!!
I think this is the best story i hv ever read on ur blog..
i hv done my sahaj… but now i want to repeat dis b’ful course it wid u..!!
i think guruji has blessed all of us also by givin not only one but two beautiful SAHAJ teacher..;)
Dearest Bau…
Love this so much! Am checking the blog after quite a long time since the time you put it up, but I had heard every line read out to me on phone as I had been missing to read your blog:-(.
Today when I read it, I could not control my tears.. of love, of gratitude…
I had really not valued Sahaj that much till last advanced course in june, when Dinesh bhaiya had told us that we could attend a session on the last day of Sahaj with Bhanuma. My God!!! The same feeling that felt like only a few seconds when she said “become aware of your body and surroundings, slowly open your eyes”!!! It was awesome!! And from that day on I love each time I do Sahaj… I have got addicted to it!!!
Love you too soooooo mcuh:-)…
JGD! I am feeling so blessed… just returned from the ashram… I did advance and sahaj there and that too with Bhanu didi…. And it was too great to have you and Dinesh also in the sessions…
Awesome story.. All I can take from it is “Drop all your desires”
congratulations bau, delighted to know that both of you have become shaj teachers, very very happy for both of you, love you both very much
jgd
Thanks for the great post. It totally remind of my experience with Sehaj and when I got initiated. Eventually I gave it up, but was thinking to start it again and your post pushed me a little more to start it again……
A very beautiful story, very beautifully told .. as always ..
Congratulations ..
Wow, what a beautiful story Bawa…thanks for sharing that with us!
wow… guruji is great.. and very mischevious..
CONGRATS BAU AND DINESH BHAIYA…
Ah! Vah!yeh toe hona hee tha..jub hona tha tub hua..kyon hua..
yeh naa poocho..ye kya hua!!
Impossible to know, to explain the ways of guru–so was said about Krishna- impossible to express about Him-just mysterious! Blessed are we all of this time to be with HIM.
Luv Jai Guru Dev
Wow! so wonderfully put! u are too good at narrating the incidents!
JAI GURUDEV~

She did nd I “EVENTUALLY” did the SEHAJ wid U..!!
:~)
Jai Gurudev Bau,
I have never realized this, there are certain things in life, which are beyond family, job, career, love, affairs, boy friends and gal friends. Few things in your life, make you think, what a waste in my life that I am so engrossed in my own self. I have never give this a thought, what I want to become, and what I actually want to become. Every time, I pray to Him, I ask him to make me settle well, to get me married to the suitable man of my choice, however, I have never desired for something that He wants me to become. Why this happen that we live in our own mundane world? What we are and what He wants us to become, why we can never understand the difference or rather I can understand the difference. I don’t follow ur blog regularly, which I should. However, I thrive for knowledge, I know the best place to be that is here with You and Guruji.
Thanks for sharing and made me think what He wants me to become.
Jai GURUDEV,
Love
Richa
