Patti,
''My Experience''-(sorry i am late)
I stayed away from geeta, Mahabharata, etc... not because I'm not interested but just because i had no guidance. But as i attended the first day of Bhagavatham I decided I should not miss it.
I was not able to attend 2 days of bhagavatham, I know i missed a lot...& as i want to cover it, I'm waiting to buy the book & go through it. And waiting for you to come here, so that i can attend bhagavatam . . .In the very 1st day, u asked us to pick any role of our choice(for our self) I just truly loved it paati, as far as i remember i was never given such a choice earlier, might be i don't remember. Bhagavatam is having everything in it. It is full of enjoyment, fulfillment. It is just awesome.We gain good things &We loose.............. only the bad, unwanted things.
We can even find
i. Our past in our present...
ii. Our present in our past... through Bhagavatam.
We have got many things from it. As many times we listen to Bhagavatam we get many more new things, just like if i can say...
''As many times we do the course we go deeper & deeper & get many things'' It is not in visiting different places, but it is in seeing the same places but in different view''. One of the great movement was when you said I am not the one who is speaking, the divine himself is the One who is speaking through me & you are not the One listening, but divine himself is listening through you. For me this was representing the presence of divine everywhere & I was able to find everything in me & myself in every thing. I was able to feel the oneness, belongingness. We celebrated everything i.e...
Birth of Krishna His naughty behaviour His Marriage & everything, & we also celebrated the pain of krishna i.e...the issue of his stomach ache& for sure there is knowledge behind all this...I had things running in my mind, when I went through Bhagavatam i.e Only listening to bhagavatam is so effective & it is made us change & what if we apply the knowledge pionts in our life, then it will just be awesome. Before I used to feel that, this is not the age(17) for me to go through spiritual things for so long a period & that too continuously...Later i felt I'm most fortunate, who is able to get to know about such beautiful things so early. But paati right now I'm feeling I have wasted my 17yrs (behaving according to others) without knowing, getting aware of myself & without knowing about all these & now i have decided not to waste my time & go for it, For this i need a guidence of a lovable,friendly,elderly & good person just like u paati...Patti, I'm very much gratefull to you. Paati so far in my case no one was able to get me so deeply into these things, this was able to happen just because of u my dear paati. Paati i thank u cz,u permited me to be one among you, you accepted me as ur pethi &Let me accept u as my paati.I gained many things from u . ''VANAKKAM''Love uTake Care...

Past in present and present in the past. What a beautiful way to put it! Yes, the bhagavatham is indeed a story of us and the divine or just us? :)beautiful post. Let's have one in Bentonville next year!
Dear Bhagya,
It is so beautiful what you had written. You are indeed very fortunate to realize all these things at a very young age. Your whole life ahead is going to be filled with wonders and life will keep smiling your way in ways unimaginable. Coincidently (or maybe not) I am sitting here and we are listening to this really soft music with a lot of piano in it and it is so touching. Somehow you are like that. Flowing.
Keep flowing. If there is anything that I like to hear myself saying is to be in harmony with all that surrounds me. Maybe I feel like telling you the same.
I send you lots of love.
Shereen
Oh, one more thing: I am sitting here with Rajjima in Palestine having our morning mint tea and thinking of you.
Smile
