We born, grow up, work,
work and then lastly leave this plant with unaccountable personal desires. If we
are given a chance to list our unfulfilled desires; there may be dozens of points
at the last moments of our life.
We are set up with the
thoughts that the yoga, morning walks, meditation etc. and other self-realization
practices are meant for later stages of life.
We tend to think that we work and earn, save for retired life and then
we relax with our savings later.

| Taking Sanyas (Dikshya) from Swami Anand Arun at Osho Tapoban on 27th March 2007. |
I never realized the
immense joy of the meditation before I decided to get away from the colors
during the holi (March 2005), which is in a true sense a festival of colour. I simply thought to get away colors especially
with balloons filled with dirty water during the holi, which has been the
normal and growing trend in Kathmandu. I knew my friends would come to my room
and start spraying water and colors and, I wanted to find the peaceful place to
get rid of that. I chose to join three days meditation camp at osho tapoban.
Never meditated before,
giving full concentration was really tough to me. The completely silent place,
the chirping sounds of the birds, the waterfalls, and at the top, the location
at the middle of the forests totally amazed me. I felt, I am somewhere in a
divine lands. We had no access to the newspapers that meant there was no bad
news especially about crimes. There were neither the news on violence nor the
tv serials and movies. I was completely in a new world with very healthy foods.
No wonders in two days, I was completely into meditation and then started thinking
what if I take dikshya from swami
Ananda Arun who was conducting that meditation camps there. After the
discussions with the people at the camp from different walks of life, I decided
to be a disciple of osho and I submitted an application with a promise to
continue meditation at least one hour each day at home.
The sanyasi celeberation
or in another words, the day I took sanyaas
was one of the most memorable of days my life. I took sanyas on 27th march 2005, and I was named as swami
Dhyan Rajendra. I was given this name in a way that the name is given to a
newly born child. Swami Ananda Arun informed the mass to treat these neo-sanyas
as the newly born child. He further reiterated to love them, respect them and fill
them with lots of affection and love. People congratulated me, thanked me and
welcomed me to the world of meditation as the newly born baby. They hugged me, pat
me and made me feel that I am really a child again. I felt, I am born again. My
perspective towards life, people, and this world changed forever. I cherished
the moment of my birth as a sanyasi. I continued meditation even at home after
that.
I have two birthdays then,
one is on 28th September as the day I entered to this beautiful
world and another is on 27th March as the day of my rebirth entering
to this beautiful world of meditation and inner self. I feel, am lucky to have
an opportunity to celebrate my birthday twice in a year. I am happy to go much
deeper into my life and myself. My rebirth has given me an insight into the
world, people, living beings, like plants and animals, culture, religion and
education. I am now much clearer on my dream, desires and my inner self. Every
year on 27th March, I will remember I was reborn on that day. I will cherish this day with meditation, which
brings joys, excitement, lots of happiness and energy around.
Hence, meditation has been an integral part of
my life. I work, and manage my time for my other daily stuffs along with the
time for meditation. I feel, every individual should meditate and feel the joy
of existence. Life seems to be more meaningful, joyous and cherished when it
