Rishi Center for World Consciouness

I attended a very interesting and important conference at berkely,usa, on 6 th of may 09 which had the subject which is the major global issue right now and that is "new sources of energy -for example cars that run on electricity by charging the batteries. This conference was initiated by BERC an organisation of students founded by my son mr.bhavik joshi(who is a passionate environmentalist). The speakers were experts from their own field and internationally reputed. This was also a small step taken by me to do something on same line in India.It is high time we realise how much less time we have to save our mother earth from global warming and depletion of natural resources !

god bless you all!

This is a small village and they were all there ,kids ,youth,elderly farmers and the organiser shri sambhaji. I prayed there and gave a little talk,kind of a satsanga and it was such a peaceful locations amidst the montains. I gave saibaba's vibhuti(holy ash) to everyone and felt blessed.

 Swamiji was invited to inagurate  sai baba temple at pune city on 10th april 08. During this function swamiji gave vibhuti (holy ash) to nearly 1000 people from a very small 1"by 1" container which was half filled when he started giving them to devotees  and after having given to more then 1000 persons , the container was still full and never got empty -this was truely a miracle of shri sai baba through swamiji ! Swamiji is blessed by sai baba and swamiji also blessed thousands who were present there ( see pictures in the album)

I visited this orphanage called "takshashila" at Pune  in India and could donate food to last them a month. This orphanage is managed by a couple and they are very poor and yet they are looking after 25 children , all below 8 years of age. They also have a school room built out of tins and a tinned roof where i spent some time with those godly kids.(picture on this blog).

i love you all and pray the lord to fill your hearts with love and compassion for the poor.

Myself and Rajul were at an orphanage called saraswati shikshan anatha ashram at pune ,in India on 1december 2007 and with god's grace we could provide free food to them . This orphanage has 50 children and the food shall last them for a month. In fact the manager of the orphanage mentioned that "we had only 2 days stock of food and swamiji ,you just arrived with food for the kids" and this moved us to tears. Rajul also distributed  cookies which all kids love. Thank you god!

God bless you all my dear ones !
