Every blade of grass and every blossoming bud is drenched with the heavy downpour in Aliyar ashram. It was the second fortnight of July 2002 and the World was awaiting the International Conference entitled “World Congress on Global Vision and Strategies for Peace, Nonviolence and Harmony” to be held from 10th to 13th August 2002. It was raining cats of dogs in Coimbatore and Aliyar while preparation was in full swing.

Our Blissland-Temple of Consciousness was bustling with activities as dignitaries from all over the world were invited. Director, United Nations Information Centre, Mr. Feodor Starceiv, was the guest of honour for the conference. Religious and Spiritual leaders, Statesmen, Scientists, Scholars and Experts from various other institutions were invited to attend the function. Dignitaries were to be received from Coimbatore and accommodation arrangements were to be made. 

About twenty five thousand people were to witness the noble -grandeur of the conference. Our Ashram was in its early stage of development- there was no modern infrastructure, no big auditoriums, and did not have enough accommodation facilities, so arrangements were being made all over town to accommodate the guests and hosts of the conference.  The event organisers were running from pillar-to-post to ensure the arrangements were of satisfying standards and were working with swiftness to raise a majestic tent to accommodate all the participants, but the energetic preparations were hindered by the heavy cloudbursts and the continual force of the rain troubled the concerns of the organisers as the preparatory works were to be stopped. 

As the dates of the conference were fast approaching, the Ashram organisers not knowing what to do, approached Swamiji. They surrendered to him and asked ‘Swamiji, we are working for a great noble cause, why is Nature hindering our service?’ Swamiji gently smiled and said, ‘Nature can never be a hindrance and its working is beyond our understanding’. Swamiji remained absorbed in harmony and said ‘Nature knows better’ and didn’t promise anything. A couple of days later the torrential rains receded and ceased its downpour. The organisers were elated and recommencing the spirits, preparation for the conference were in full progression and every little effort wrapped the days of the conference with grand success. On the day of the conference the sun was shining in full glory. Beyond reasons, a couple of hours after the conclusion of the conference, the rain resumed its deluge. Struck with curiosity, the organisers went again to Swamiji and asked if He had done something to stop the rains in favour of the conference.

With a serene smile Swamiji told, ‘I dint do anything to stop the rains, nevertheless, I linked myself with Nature and requested it saying, we are planning to have a Divine Event for the harmony on earth, why can’t you postpone your showers for a few days so that the function could be a seed for World Peace’. He spoke as if He was talking to a dearest friend and exhibited the intellectual integrity with which He connects to Nature. This remarkable incident shows the depth in which Maharishi was in unison with Nature that it heeded to His noble request.
A Master, a Guru, who’s teachings are poetically beautiful and uniquely reverential is indeed a royal personification of the Divine. Let us at this juncture honour the immense truth of the ever-present intuitive showers of Swamiji’s bliss brimming our spiritually yearning souls.

A profound philosophy expressed in His usual simplicity, a Moral that we must extract from the statement of Swamiji is,
Moral 1: Nature is always kind and compassionate. If we perceive any situation as an unfavorable one or pain is experienced by us, the resultant is not a hindrance to our progressive life, but it is an act of Karma Purification and a lesson taught by Nature to reduce our Karma Stock. By handling such situations with faith and positive attitude the burden of Karma will be reduced, else we will add and multiply to the already existing Karma mound. 
Moral 2: Action speaks louder than words. Maharishi did not commit anything, but with tranquillity and in silence He tuned with Nature. Nature took care of the rest.
In life too, we should accept all that is happening to us and trust Natures methods.
Moral 3: Nature helped Swamji, because His motive was selfless. His request was for a greater Global Cause.

Similarly, our prayers should not be limited to SELF and selfcentered with “I, Me and Myself”, but should expand and include our Family, Work/Business, Society and World. Wisdom that “I” am part of this Society should dawn upon us, when I expand my prayer circle, the pure thoughts will reflect and mirror back to “Me”. Swamiji’s World blessing is a testament to the above. By chanting – Vazhga Vaiyagam, Vazhga Valamduan – May the Whole World enjoy Prosperity Happiness and Peace, Be blessed by the Divine. “I”- A spec in this world. This expanded blessing, will also fulfil individual desires of mine.”

Let us remember this moral from HIS Life Experience. This will make our life simple, joyful and propel us to enjoy spiritual ecstasy.
