If you love it or not but I love it. At the end the Supreme asks you only one question; are you happy? I say I am perfectly happy. Then the Supreme says to you: I don't need anything else. --With these reports supreme it is easy to be all right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284882532222303317.post-12158775023075288852008-08-13T05:49:00.000-07:002008-08-13T05:49:00.000-07:00Dear brother Utpal,We are very, very, very gratefu...Dear brother Utpal,<BR/>We are very, very, very grateful to you and to the Supreme in you and to our Beloved Guru in you. Your selfless and self-giving labour of love has been instrumental in keeping the inspiration and aspiration flame alive with revitalized inner pride in our Guru, His Legacy, His Vision and HIS ETERNAL AND IMMORTAL REALITY. Your camera and your penmanship have been nothing short of instruments of your own beautiful heart. You and only you have brought the enthusiasm, determination, pains, joys and victories of our 31,000 Mile Race Heroes and "Sheroine" right in front of the eyes of the world thus transforming the unbelievers into believers. Thank you my brother!<BR/><BR/>As for the runners, I want to say that apart from their stupendous achievement and their solid-gold determination and their unshakable faith in themselves and in our Guru, their sweet and simple HUMILITY is the most visible and palpable GIGANTIC FORCE that each an everyone of them embody. <BR/><BR/>The critics talk about and sometimes even ridicule these God-serving and God-fulfilling divine warriors, the organizers and the Event because their is "no prize" to win or because of the unimaginable length, etc . If these nice people could only receive, assimilate and hold on to one "nano drop" of the humility that our runners spread around like magic dust , their understanding and reporting in their stories would have really capture this history making and life-transforming Race. Thank You Guru for Utpal, the unparalleled Reporter supreme.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284882532222303317.post-65564818161484575612008-08-12T14:22:00.000-07:002008-08-12T14:22:00.000-07:00Thank you, Utpal, for reporting so diligently and ...Thank you, Utpal, for reporting so diligently and so eloquently on this amazing race. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit the course daily and witness these remarkable heroes (and heroine!). But it was through reading your articles that I really felt a better understanding of – and oneness with -- their achievements of self-transcendence.<BR/><BR/>These runners are truly, authentic spiritual seekers whose bravery is unequalled. Their unwavering soulfulness astounded me. The physical aspect of their feat left me awe-struck. And their devotion broke barriers – within themselves, true – but I strongly feel that for the world at large as well.<BR/><BR/>A special note of appreciation for the race directors, volunteers, handlers, cooks, counters and others who, like me, just came to cheer the runners on. It is a shared victory for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284882532222303317.post-90526223929465416662008-08-12T09:43:00.000-07:002008-08-12T09:43:00.000-07:00Resident philosopher, Vajra says, "human beings ar...Resident philosopher, Vajra says, "human beings are meant to go beyond themselves." Of the race he says, "This is just the infant pioneer of something all men will one day be able to do." Of everything that is done and accomplished here, "everything has to be placed at the feet of the Supreme."<BR/>This resident citizen is more than right, he said the absolute truth in a way only Vajra can say it. Since years at every celebration I see him piloting the Food-Van for us all hungry disciples. Vajra deserves a post of his own on your bloc, Utpal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284882532222303317.post-41838653467312093722008-08-12T05:48:00.000-07:002008-08-12T05:48:00.000-07:00Thank you for your wonderful insights into each of...Thank you for your wonderful insights into each of the runners and their individual journeys throughout this year's race.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431331530506911003noreply@blogger.com
