CHICAGO: Gurudevshri Rakeshbhai Zaveri, an ardent devotee of Shrimad Rajchandraji, was accorded an affectionate welcome at the Chicago O’Hare International Airport, where he spent endearing moments interacting with followers and seekers of enlightenment.
Gurudevshri Rakeshbhai gave spirituality a new meaning through three transformational pravachans (lectures) at the Jain Society of Metropolitan Chicago. He taught aspirants techniques to translate profound knowledge into practical wisdom.
Through everyday situations one encounters he demonstrated how each one is responsible for their own joy and sorrow. While it appears as though circumstances determine one’s reactions, it is actually an individual’s independent choice. He further elucidated that the power to make the right choice is gained from the strength of one’s spiritual practices and satsang.
Propounding the path of Bhagwan Mahavira, Gurudevshri Rakeshbhai is a spiritual visionary and modern-day mystic. The founder of Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur, Gurudevshri has illuminated numerous lives across the globe through enlightening discourses and an array of meditation retreats.
His divine benevolence has touched scores of underprivileged lives through the ten fold Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care Program.
At present the Mission has 80 centres spread across the globe in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. In addition, over 225 centres worldwide mould the youth and children, shaping a brighter future for them.
Constantly studying oneself and remaining in awareness play a key role in strengthening one’s inner muscles. Introspection enables a shift in one’s values and thus in one’s perception of the world. It is this shift that gives one a new perspective of life and alters one’s interpretations of the occurrences in daily life.
One may begin by only being able to see the physical – that which is plainly visible to the eyes. Moving ahead, with education and enhanced thinking, one gains intelligence and deeper insight.
As one progresses, he develops the power of discrimination and is able to make decisions which are in favour of that which is spiritually beneficial. Finally the inward journey leads him to experience invisible inner bliss.
Seekers were inspired to forge ahead on the path of liberation and bring about an inner revolution in their lives. Expressing their gratitude towards Gurudevshri, the Committee Members of the Jain Centre of Chicago felicitated the Master.
Gurudevshri graced the residences of several seekers, blessing them with memories of a lifetime. It was amidst joyous chanting that pious pratishthas ensued at the abodes of Jagdishbhai-Shobhaben Shah and Manish-Anchal Jain, consecrating the Divine in their hearts and homes.
Aspirants boarded the Summer of George cruise for an evening of elevation with the Sadguru. Views of the Chicago skyline faded in the Master’s captivating aura as energetic dance dedications uplifted spirits and melted hearts.
