Mangeshda's birthday and Annual Day Celeberations

I was blessed to attend the program yesterday, on 24th October 2013, of Sri Sri Mangeshda's Birthday and Annual Day celeberations, that was held in Ravindra Sabhagrah, Dadar, Mumbai. I went there along with Dr. Kokal and Mrs. Kokal, who had introduced me to such a great organisation and the saint of mordern India. We reached there at 6:30 PM, after ranging from the heavy traffic that we faced at Sion, and then Dadar. Whew! what a teribble traffic of Mumbai city.
We were all seated in the full packed hall and at 7:00 PM, Dada (sri Mangeshda as he is lovingly called) arrived and the ceremony began. The very first there was an introduction speach by Mr. Pandya, who is a very good orater and appears in Zee News and many other channels, who introduced all the chief guests who had been invited. Later on there was a small video that showcased the story from childhood till what is recently done by thier foundation. Later on there was a special Puja conducted on the occasion of His birthday.
After that Dada gave a very small speach, but that contained everything in a jist. Dada's speech is always a gift for all who attend the meeting. He speaks in short but delivers such a strong message in it. All the words spoken by Him are immortal. Yesterday He told "We say what this world is doing to solve all the problems, but I ask myself only one question, what i am doing to solve that problem, because, you and me are we and this is our India, our Nation". Great these were the words that are etched in my heart and will be there for ever. After that there was speech given by all the guests who were invited.
Later on there was a wonderful musical program by youngsters who were classical instrumetalists, Mr. Bhave: Tabla player, Ms. Bhave: Violin Player, and Mr. Siddesh - a Jal Tarang player (This instrumet is a very unique and rarely played since it is the music that is created from the different sizes and shapes of clay bowls and the water poured in it of a equivalent amount so that it should produce the specific sargam. They played three songs, and they were marvalous. You can find small glimpse of that in the video attached herewith. Sri Sri Mangeshdaji also praised a lot to them. The program ended and we reached home by 12:00 Night.
