Jan 21
We had a fantastic few days with Guruji at Poona.
Antarnaad saw 2500+ Hindustani classical singers on stage together, the world’s largest such gathering (its got into the Guinness Book) performing for over 80,000 people who had gathered in Poona’s S P College grounds to listen to them.
It was a superb program, with the likes of Shankar Mahadevan, Chitra Roy, Rajan and Sajan Mishra, Gayatri and many other really great singers singing with perhaps the biggest chorus they will ever sing with in their life 
… The chorus had very difficult passages and they managed it flawlessly, even though they had about 2-3 days only of rehearsing the songs together!
A part of the Antarnaad Stage
Guruji didn’t sing much to my disappointment like He had in Bhramanaad, but He lead all of us into deep meditation and give some wonderful Knowledge about Indian Classical music, the origin of the 7 notes and the importance of chanting in sanskrit… a recent research shows that people who do regular chanting in Sanskrit, learn and pick up languages really fast and have a greatly increased aptitude in mathematics… He also emphasized on the importance of organic farming, saving the indigenous seeds and the local variety of cows, as well as protecting the girl child.
Guruji on the Antarnaad Stage
A brilliant job done by the Poona Antarnaad organizing team… everything was nearly perfect!
The huge ground was given over to YES!+ for the next 3 days and we had the biggest ever YES!+ course with more than 1100 young people participating on it!
Guruji gave a surprise appearance and wowed everyone on the first day itself!
People had amazing, life transforming experiences on the course and many have vowed to come to Bangalore for the Summer Magic course…
One girl asked me a question: I could smell chandan (Sandalwood) and jasmine while i was doing the Sudarshan Kriya, can you explain what was happening?
I answered: No. You cannot explain a miracle. If you could explain it, it would be science
Satsang
The Poona YES!+ team did a phenomenal job in organising the course, and everything was really just right… Last day, just 45 minutes before the course was scheduled to start, the big LED screens were suddenly taken down on the whim of some foolish, malignant person on the Antaarnaad organizing team… teaching a course from that big stage without any screens would have been almost impossible, but our bright young people didn’t miss a beat! They simply organized a few plasma screen TVs in the ground and the course went on perfectly!
The Poona YES!+ Team with a few visitors thrown in... The guy in the red kurta is Tehmu
I stayed with Tehmu at his lovely home in Camp area in Poona and he took such good care of all of us, even Guruji decided to come visit :)… Guruji was there at Tehmu’s house for a few wonderful hours, before He whizzed off back to Bangalore… Tehmu is a great cook, and taught me how to make some really tasty stuff… will put the recipes up on the blog real soon
We are in Bombay now… planing some really big stuff here… it will all be finalized in a few days and then i will let everyone know about it…
Jai Gurudeva!

ps While we were in Mumbai, Guruji suddenly sat at the piano in Vishalakshi during satsang, and banged out notes which of course sound surprisingly good! Here is the link to the video
