Most unforgettable Life Event-

It occured around 6-7 years before when i was in my late teens, somewhere around 17 years old. One of my relatives was about to attend a conference on "Contemporary Challenges and probable remedies". The conference was organised together by Stte Government, a reknowned academic institution and an esteemed non profit organisation.

I was never interested that time in such programs/ activities. But as my relative emphasised and persuaded me to be with him, i agreed and went with him to attend the conference. There were around 3 guest speakers at the inaugural function. One was a social worker, the second was a vice chancellor of a university and the third and the most appealing personality was an Indian monk.

There was something extraordinary with this monk. It reflected through his face. Before that moment, i was never influenced so deeply by anyone.His smile was the most beautiful one and still the simplest. When his turn came and he stood to talk, there was complete silence and the best possible concentration by the audience.

I still remember his talk. He was the real knowledgeble person, profound indeed! Further, there was not the slightest shade of egoism and boastfulness on his face but a lot of humility. He had begun his speech with citation of all the so called technological development by the mankind and gradually shifted to their hazards. He wisely pointed towards interference by man in nature and their to be implications in the nearer future.

He conveyed the negative reflections in human beings like unjust desires, anger, greed, ego, envy and jealousy and the need to get rid of these obstacles. He concluded his talk by reciting/ singing ancient Sanskrit hymn from Rig Veda. His voice was just astonishing. It lead to calmness within us all.

After the program, i personally met him and asked many questions that i had in my mind. He answered them beautifully and with excellent sense of humour too. He was the monk with just a pair of clothes to be worn, no footware, no bank balance, no money...nothing at all. And still he seemed to be the happiest person on this planet.

I can never forget his talk and his way of life that reflected the practise of the Indian way of realisation of the self. Since then, i am in touch with him. I have been writing him letters. He answers them all. His guidance through his letters has added colours t my life and i am a more contented, happy, fulfilled and self actualised person today.
