“Hollow & Empty” At Guru Purnima Course

It was my first Guru Purnima course, held in Lake Tahoe in 1999, where I experienced 8 days of silence and deep meditations in Gurudev’s presence. As a new and innocent participant, I went very deep into the experience and the seva aspect.

 During one of the seva activities, we were silently chopping red peppers and showing each other that they were “hollow & empty.” As a joke, we put one in a paper bag with a note asking to look inside and placed it on Gurudev’s seat. To our surprise, Gurudev opened the bag in front of the Satsang, looked inside the pepper, and exclaimed, “Huh? What is this? Oh, hollow & empty.” I was amazed at how he knew what we had silently communicated to each other. The course was so much fun, and it completely changed my life from then on. I was so elated that I felt like I didn’t touch the ground for at least six months after that experience.

सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः

सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः।

सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु

मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत।

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥

May all sentient beings be at peace,

may no one suffer from illness,

May all see what is auspicious, may no one suffer.

Om peace, peace, peace.

सभी सुखी होवें,

सभी रोगमुक्त रहें,

सभी मंगलमय घटनाओं के साक्षी बनें

और किसी को भी दुःख का भागी न बनना पड़े।

ॐ शांति शांति शांति॥
