Monthly activity highlights
 |
Satsangs were regularly
held, during which attention is paid to each seeker, their efforts
in spiritual
practice (sadhana),
to what extent they have succeeded, and in what ways they can
improve. This benefits all seekers, as they not only learn how
to improve from direct guidance, but also see how they can implement
guidance given to other seekers present. |
|
Seeker Dr. Zubin Nalladaru’s parents
and seeker Mrs. Sampada Pereira’s father, all of who have
begun spiritual practice since the beginning of their visit
to Dubai, continue to chant* and have developed a constant seeking
approach, wherein they clarify their doubts on different aspects
of Spirituality. All feel that they are in a more positive and
happier frame of mind since commencing spiritual practice under
the guidance of the Sanatan. |
Obstacles
Seekers in the UAE are experiencing an increase
in obstacles to their spiritual practice as a result of negative
energies, such as:
|
Seekers who have taken
up the task of translating articles from the Indian language
of Marathi into English faced obstacles in the initial stages,
including being unable to continue translation due to computers
crashing. |
|
One seeker felt that since
working on translation is done at the work place, the workload
has increased and is hence facing a lot of obstacles at work.
|
|
Some seekers also faced obstacles of
physical illness due to which they were not able to maintain
continuity in their chanting* and other spiritual practice.
|
|
One seeker felt that his chanting* has
increased, but simultaneously he has started developing headaches,
too. |
All seekers were told to undertake all the negative
energy measures to minimize and reduce such problems which includes:
sprinkling of holy ash (vibhuti),
wearing aprons or caps of the Sanatan while driving the car and
doing satseva, keeping photos of deities or H.
H. Jayant Athavale with them, keeping the sticks of chameli
(a plant) with them, drinking holy ash water regularly throughout
the day etc. (Refer to Issues 124
and 158, Message
to Seekers section and Issue 109,
Practical Guidance section for more details on such measures.)
[Negative energies create obstacles to obstruct seekers’
spiritual practice. It is essential to follow all guidance as mentioned
above to overcome these problems.
