MY Dear brethren, young and old,
Today is Diwali, and it is celebration time, isn’t it? I intend to ‘celebrate’ through this “as-usual un-planned” BLOG writing.
Heartfelt Diwali wishes to ALL on Mother Earth, including the ‘haves ‘and ‘have-nots’, Enabled and Differently-abled. May this Diwali ‘light out’ the destructive-and-dysfunctional ‘minds’ while ‘lighting up’ constructive-and-functional ‘minds’ in humankind for human-good! Well, this ‘piece’ contains a precious LIFE ‘GIFT’ for Humanity and a Diwali Lehiyam as well.(A special mixture of ‘nature given’ condiments to help ease digestive glands after a heavy dose of food, especially during Diwali!) Will share both towards the end – Read on…
To get to THEM, I reproduce Shri.KVR’s replies to the last BLOG ‘Sharing a Precious THOUGHT’. I mildly remind all of you reading this blog that you would NOT enjoy this one, or in other words would NOT get the Lehiyam for digestion and the precious LIFE ‘Gift’ - if you haven’t read and cherished the earlier blog, I firmly believe. You would observe some kind of Almighty willed continuation in every blog, as we progress.

“ Ravi, Thanks for your mail with a lot of good words for me. As I said, I am trying to move away from “ego state” and not fond of praises! Sai is taking me towards ‘Internal realization’, which is higher than any thing else in life! Instead of ‘owning’ a “Ferrari”, I wanted to ‘own’ OUR country and community!(read ‘Caring for Mother’(India) and ‘Sharing with HER Children’) I feel that ‘sharing and caring’ for the people are more important, than capturing an auto-bio for increasing one's own ego status!!
With Sai's blessings to you and your family.
K.V.Ramani “

Then I send an apologetic reply (as I have made a glaring error which I later changed), still maintaining that he should share ‘nuggets of wisdom’ and here goes Shri. KVR’s reply to that mail of mine.
Quote:
“ Ravi, thanks for your mail and correcting your blog with two points regarding Shirdi Sai Trust(SST). There is more on the point I mentioned on - Each one Help One! The intent is not to help some one ONCE and FORGET it! Each one of the ‘Haves’, should take "end-end responsibility" for at least ONE “have-not”, say from LKG to a bachelor's degree, thereby Enabling that person, boy or girl - To ‘fish’ for themselves happily AND with heads held high, all their LIFE. The person should be seen as addition to their own family, and not a one time donation! In this way, the Indian higher income group of say 100 million families can improve the life of 100 million children!! Isn’t it Inclusive growth THEN?
Please ask your friend Mathan Singh to meet me with a prior appointment some time next week regarding ‘adoption’. We can arrange for an ‘adoption’ fast from an orphanage supported by SST.
Re: writing, let us talk next time.
Happy Deepavali to you and your family!
Best regards,
K.V.Ramani “

Here goes the Diwali Lehiyam Shri. KVR gave me which am sharing with YOU and YOUR family
“Let’s move away from ‘ego state’ towards ‘Internal realization’, which is higher than any THING else in life!”
And the ‘key’ to the LIFE ‘Gift’ is obvious for the ‘shrewd’ reader – The REAL key is the new-age ‘thought’ process of Mathan Singh and his entire family – I take a BOW to them. The final ‘key’, for them to receive the GIFT, according to me, is the SST through whom the GIFT may possibly come, ‘I lie to believe’ NOW. Precious one for their ‘angel-like daughter’ who conceived this idea!
I SEE this ‘entire’ sequence of EVENTS, - NOW through Shri. KVR’s offering to help acquire the precious GIFT ‘asap’, as all of you MUST have wished- It might bring about ‘mind-change’ among many growing childless and ones having “Only Ones” who are “lonely and longing”, for a sibling - To simply ADOPT. Nurture. Groom. Let GROW. For the rest 100 million Indians, it is Each one Help One, BUT end-end! Maybe, as HE SAYS through this writing, THEN ONLY THIS Diwali LEHIYAM WILL help DIGEST, and the GIFT will remain always with each one, in this digital-age, where we witness phenomenal “exclusive” growth, in mankind, more so in developing/under-developed countries, isn’t it?
Sai’s(Almighty's) blessings, the precious ‘LIFE GIFT’ will be with us THEN. Always. Day or Night, recession or stagflation or (finding one’s feet) DURING super-growth-Online or offline-@ home, @ work or simply in the ‘journey’ called LIFE. As Shri. KVR opined in his sage-like replies. Simple. I FELT, THAT is the highest FORM of SPIRITUALITY – Being a Believer or a non-believer is non-material here-True Democracy or Non-democracy – or IN “Bottled-Up” democracy like India (So far)-Simply applicable to all. Without any strings attached, whatsoever!
Happily and in a ‘child-like’ BLISS Ravi signs off, SHARING the ‘Diwali Wish’ poem penned by my beloved friend, Sri. Ravi Raju, who quit his ‘plum’ job in the IT Services domain to work WITH the Shri. Nandan Nilekani led UID project, the mammoth project possibly the first step to a ‘transparent’ India and Indians. In the lighter but serious vein, “ No wonder Ravi Raju’s creative RIGHT brain (sample is this original master-piece- A cute one) start working wonders to get multiple solution(s) to THE problems facing him / Us, than to talk endlessly and unflinchingly about problems and more problems – Hardly solutions – The “highly left-brained” humans EVEN “inventing” Problems to solutions”– from ‘reel’ show(s) to ‘real’ life-online or off-line, print or digits!
Maybe it’s the ‘The Nandan Nilekani effect’ for Ravi Raju! I NOW have a WANT to interview Shri. Nilekani or just walk-the-talk with him! Am ‘gyan’ thirsty you see. ‘Greedy’ to SHARE with YOU all. Here goes the lovely poem…
“As ‘Dunes of vapors’ from crackers- rise and engulf,
And as ‘odorous’ airs resound,
‘Effusing’ JOY to all abound;
Let “Pearls of gleams” in these autumn-nights adorn our lives,
With sparklers that motley skies and as soaring spirits of powder mix and wander,
Let us thank the ‘heavenly might’
For anything and everything HE gave us, in this festive season of lights!”
- Ravi Raju
Best Wishes
