This holi I was in Art of living banglore Aashram attending my Ttp (Teacher Training Program). I uesd to feel not much conneted with sri sri, though am going to become a teacher but still I was not like other people who are very much connected to him. For me he is just a gud guy who spread super good knowledge so that nobody remains unhappy. This holi he made me his biggest fan when he sat and played holi with minimum 5000 of his followes, who loves him very much. I was one of them though am not that close to him.
In start he started applying colors to the sevak sitting close to him then some teachers, I was watching from behind and was thinking it will end soon, only those who close to him work hard for him will get chance to go close to him.
But with time, I saw a queue is formed up having all Ttp participants and participants from other program too. I was very sure its not gona happen, they never gona reach sri sri, and just to check I also joined the queue. To became stable in a queue, it took me near about 20 min, queue was becoming huge with time, as am in queue now, I was watching sri sri applying colors to every person's cheek who comes in front of him, one by one with super beautiful smile on his face. And I was just thinking that now they going to end the queue, its almost most an hour and sri sri was applying colors without a min stop.
Then suddenly he stood up and I was just 30-40 meters away from him in queue, an I said in my mind that Ohh I was knowing its going to end soon. And you know what sri sri shakes a little bit and continued applying color while standing for 1 min and then sit again. He got this never ending smile, the people around him was somehow loosing there smile but he was sitting with all enthu being available for all his lovers.
Then I got the chance, there was only me and him, he applied color to my face, I felt like am the first person whom he played holi with today, there was no sign of tiredness on his face. He looked into my eyes and that was the movement I will never forget, it was something I can never forget. Then I moved out of the que and what I saw is the queue is 3 times of what it was when I entered the que. Somehow it seems to be never ending as more and more people are coming out of nowhere and joining the queue.
I said in my mind, sri sri how you gona make it?? I dont know may be it took 3-4 hours for him to complete the whole queue but he did, nobody in the aashm left with whom he didn't played holi. Everybody got his own time with him, nobody was left with any complains and sri sri was there with that same beautiful smile which was there when he started applying color to first person.
That day he actually taught me what is 100% and what is true love. That day I got to know how sri sri is heartbeat of the million of people around the world.
I love and respect you so much sri sri, please always be my side.
