Narrator: Sahaj yoga a unique Discovery and a gift to mankind. A journey which we started a few months back and we have met different people and wanted to know that how a person can overcome the troubles and problems in life and lead an honest, spiritual and religious life achieve peace and prosperity. In this regard, we will be meeting retired IAS officer Dinesh Rai who has chosen Sahaj yoga. Not only that he has taken the responsibility to spread this to other people. Let us come and see what Dinesh Ji have got while working in this path and how he wanted to advance in this journey.
Interviewer: I am Sonia Bhatia I welcome you all in this special presentation of News Dnn. Sahaj yoga a unique Discovery and gift to mankind. Today we have 1974 batch senior IAS officer Dinesh Rai with us, sir you are very welcome in our studio.
Mr Dinesh Rai: Thank you.
Interviewer: Mr Dinesh our viewers wanted to know from you that when and how you started your journey in Sahaj yoga?
Mr Dinesh Rai: First of all my wife Nita started doing Sahaj yoga, then I saw centres being arranged in our house. And people used to come there with their problems and slowly gathering of people increased. And I too was believing it, that there must be something special that’s why people are coming in large numbers. And gradually I started increasing my knowledge and gradually I started become a part of Sahaj. Now it is very hard for me to tell in which year I joined Sahaj yoga. I would like to give my introduction as a seed, that when a seed is sown in earth, getting an ideal environment it germinates. And after few times we could see that it has become a plant and likewise it happens with me, that I got the ideal environment in the house. Then once I went to Pune and I had arranged accommodation outside somewhere But when Shri Mataji got to know then she called me in the centre and give me lot of love and because of that I was very much affected. That she Mataji who didn’t know me that well had given me that much affection that is expected from a mother, or more than your own mother the love that we have got which I felt. And gradually I started attending Sahaj yoga programs and along with this I would like to thanks Dr Nigam because when the program was arranged in Lucknow he to have affected me to a great extent. And also inspired me and because of this I was very much satisfied because he was doctor himself, and he has given correct answers to all of my queries. So after that incident or after meeting him I completely got into Sahaj yoga. And this is how I became a part of Sahaj yoga.
Interviewer: You were an IAS officer at that time, and you had your responsibilities of the administration and what people want from you. And after coming to Sahaj did it helped you? So that you can perform your duties more effectively?
Mr Dinesh Rai: Yes it has benefited me, because it was taught in Sahaj that not to compromise with any wrong thing. So while working in an administration we faced many situations and at that time the situation of U.P was bad, there was too much pressure on us but due to Sahaj yoga there was always the Self-confidence. We didn’t compromise with any wrongdoing. So this was a benefit and because of this, we had to face consequences also because there were ministers and other high profile people who used to put too much pressure on us. But because of Sahaj yoga, we use to remain stress-free and we got good relief because of Sahaj yoga. And as we were in an administrative work so we didn’t compromise with any wrong things and any kind of corruption. Because in Sahaj yoga it is said that everything is of our mother’s. So there is nothing ours. And we used to tell others also and we used to create an atmosphere in our department so that all the work may go on without any disturbance. Also for people who face difficulties in getting a solution from the administration for them, we had great love and we used to encourage them and we used to go there and listen to their problems, and because of Sahaj yoga, this kind of sensibility came in us. And it made our work easy.
Interviewer: There are a lot of responsibilities for an IAS officer there is a lot of work in a day they have a packed schedule and with that limited time how did you manage time for Sahaj?
Mr Dinesh Rai: See, when you wanted to give time, the time comes automatically. And you find no scarcity of time you just need that wish. You can do it while you are sitting on an aeroplane or while sitting on a car, so the time comes automatically and there is no problem at all. I only say to all that you should have that self-determination and you could achieve it very early. It is not like ancient times when people used to go to Himalaya and they used to perform hard austerities there. Rarely they could achieve the highest goal. Shri Mataji has given us that blessing while living in a domestic life we could achieve spirituality, and relatively in a short span of time. And it is a big blessing of Shri Mataji for entire creation, for entire humanity. While living in your house you could achieve spirituality and could improve your life.
Interviewer: Sir, you were in administrative services and you had engagement with higher officials and people who are associated with the government organisations, along with that you had a position in Sahaj yoga and it too had its own responsibilities, where you meet people from all classes so what differences that you see in an Intellectual person and a common person with a simple personality and how different is their ability to accept?
Mr Dinesh Rai: Sahaj yoga is very scientific, if we talk with an intellectual we had to convince him. The medical researches that were carried out on the Sahaj yoga, Dr UC Rai had written papers on it, and it has been established through modern medical science that through meditation recovery can be done to a great extent. Shri Mataji had deciphered the ancient knowledge of Chakras and presented them in a very simple way. The way how our Chakras are got had a correlation with that of diseases. So what I was saying that there is a very scientific basis of Sahaj yoga any intelligent person, any scientist, any doctor he doesn’t need time to understand it. And the most beautiful part is that the results can be seen very early be it on Children or in adults. So you didn’t need much time to convince others. We generally say that you come and get the experience. If they can experience themselves then did automatically starts doing Sahaj yoga because today when you see there are a lot of gurus they show us various dreams but they do not give us that experience. So if a person after going in various places when it comes to Sahaj yoga he becomes satisfied.
Interviewer: As you have occupied a position in Sahaj yoga so we request you to share with our viewers that does it only works upon human factor or is there any other field upon which it is being researched?
Mr Dinesh Rai: Sahaj yoga affects all living processes, and its outcome becomes good, like animal husbandry, fishery, gardening, agriculture and in all other fields if we can give vibrations like in agriculture if we give vibrations to the seeds and the water and the field it gives us a good result. And she Mataji had also told us that we should encourage people about it so this work was going on but in order to get independent scientific point of view so we thought ICAR(Indian Council of Agricultural Research) which is the topmost Organisation in India for research we communicate with them and we told them the places where Sahaj agriculture is being done the results are coming very good and in those place production and productivity both have improved. We had also seen that in fields when generally the crops get infected with insects but here it happens very less so when we put forward this information to them so they granted the permission in their 10 research centres to carry on this research, so this research is going on and along with that gardening, horticulture, fishery and in animal husbandry it can be applied and people can use this in their fields and they are getting positive results because of that.
I feel after Green Revolution which came first and that day is not far when in agriculture a Sahaj Revolution will come. And Sahaj will spread in every village.
Interviewer: Dinesh Rai Ji the biggest issue of present time is of corruption, corruption has infested us in such a way that it is making our country hollow day by day, so how we can get rid of this problem with the help of Sahaj?
Mr Dinesh Rai: It is a very important question, we can progress if our society is free from corruption. I would like to draw your attention to the developed Nations there people had money and they have no needs unfulfilled. But people do not have satisfaction there. Majority of people had to take sleeping pills because they do not get sleep easily. Or they suffer from diseases of the brain. So we have to say that money is not everything, for a solution, balance and satisfaction we need to do meditation and dharana. And we cannot take money with us on our final ride. And gradually when people understand this their behaviour will also change and therefore the responsibility of us, that is Sahaj Yogis that we keep our behaviour such seeing which people may say, “yes he is different, his values, his activities, his thinking is little different” and it will also have an effect in fighting corruption, to put a ban on it. And I also like to share this thing with you it was the incident in Noida when Shri Mataji was going for a program she was told that that the road was newly built, but while she was going, she noticed there were too many potholes in the road, so Shri Mataji’s attention went to this fact that there is too much corruption here because it is supposed to be a newly build road but the potholes were already there.
So Shri Mataji in her address talked about corruption and from then on it is my belief that the time when she Mataji’s attention went towards corruption– because previously people didn’t consider it as a great nuisance and thought of it as a routine thing. But after Shri Mataji’s attention went towards it the prime consciousness was activated and after that big minister were arrested, in earlier days it was impossible to think of this, chief ministers were arrested and gradually it spread in the whole Nation and it became a topic of debate in political elections. So I think that the moment Shri Mataji’s attention when towards it and after that, the great consciousness started working upon it. And in today’s environment, you could feel that there is a lot of change and everybody want it. And government policies are pointing towards it that how to reduce corruption. And by doing Sahaj yoga we could help in reducing it personally so it is the responsibility of all the Sahaj brother and sisters so that we could give a platform to all the citizens and spread Sahaja Yoga and as this information will spread and automatically the corruption will go.
Interviewer: So viewers this was our discussion with senior administrative official Shri Dinesh Rai, whatever problems are there be it personal or social, the only path, the only solution that we could see is only Sahaj, all the people who have joined Sahaj till now they all have share their experiences, there realization with us and somewhere I feel that it will help our viewers to find their own way and that you will be able to get rid of their problems. Friends the series of meetings will continue like this we will meet again soon with a new personality until then give your host Sonia Bhatia the permission to leave. Namaskar.
Narrator: Friends the journey will continue, and we will meet people like this. Guests will change and every new guest will teach us something, that might make the objective of our life easy. Give us permission to leave we will meet soon with a new guest in a new journey within new zeal.
