Report: Event in Jaipur, India

Maharaji’s event in Jaipur on November 14th was scheduled to be the fifth on his fall tour in India, but heavy rain in the entire Rajasthan region flooded the venue for the fourth event (Sawai Madhopur) so it had to be canceled. For a while, it seemed likely that bad weather would threaten the Jaipur event as well, a disheartening possibility for all those who were looking forward to seeing Maharaji, many for the first time. But even though the prospects of holding the event looked bleak at times, all those who had volunteered to help with preparations remained confidently optimistic, and as a result, they were fully prepared.

Amazingly, on the afternoon of November 14, a bright, shining sun emerged from the dark clouds, bringing a ray of hope and happiness for all the volunteers and people who were waiting to be part of this event. Everyone was rejoicing, and the atmosphere was euphoric. The venue was decorated with colorful Rangoli (one of the most popular art forms in India) and given a Rajasthani look to reflect the local culture. Women were dressed in multicolored clothes and men wore turbans.

The program began at 3:15 in the afternoon. Maharaji began by discussing how “the man who doesn’t understand his life” is similar to a clay pot with two holes. “The one at the top should be there,” he said, “but the one on the bottom shouldn’t be there. And whatever you put inside will come out. That clay pot cannot hold anything within.” Likewise, there are some people similar to pots with no holes at all, “not even the one on top. You keep on explaining and explaining, but they will not understand anything in their lives. To receive, it is important to have an opening.” Ultimately, a good clay pot “should be built so that whatever is put in, it should be able to hold it safely, so that whatever is in it can be used.”

One woman, who had come from Kullu Manali to attend this event, said, “I am very inspired by Maharaji’s message. Whenever I can, I tell other people about him and his message of peace.”

Mr. S.K. Sharma, a surgeon in Roongta Hospital in Jaipur, mentioned that he had heard Maharaji in 1970, but due to other responsibilities in his life, he had not come to hear him since. When he heard about this program in Jaipur, he decided to attend. Afterwards he said, “I am really inspired by his message and want to continue further.”
