I got a call from my office just a day before Shiva Rathri to attend a meeting at Mumbai on Feb 12th. (The day of Shiva Rathri). I made some quick travel arrangements.
I felt like seeing Rudra Pooja. For a moment I thought I will carry the Rudra Pooja VCD with me so I can see it while I am travelling or after I reach Mimbai. However considering the way office presentation/ sessions are planned I thought it would be impossible. So I did not pack it for my travel.
I reached Mumbai around 1 pm. I worked on the presentation little bit more sent it across to my boss and started to the hotel where the session was happening. My session at the hotel was at 4pm. On my way to the hotel from the guest house I happen to see a banner of Art of Living annoucing Rudra Pooja at 6:30pm with Swami Sadyojathaji and Manikanthanji. I reached the hotel only to find out after an hour that my session was postponed to the next day morning and I could join the group for dinner at 8PM. I was so happy, immediately I called the directory to get the Art of Living number and figured the Rudra Pooja is happening just 5 min from the Hotel. Needless to say I went and attended the Rudra Pooja followed by few bhajans and went back to the Hotel for dinner.
Incidentally my colleagues sang Ram bhajans and Karnatic music as part of the informal gathering during dinner. Someone even recited poems on Self Introspection in Hindi (quite unusual for a corporate set up - don't you think?)
Now, Guruji says Nothing is a Coincidence Here :-)
