Teachings of Dada JP Vaswani captured in Home Video[Kindly click to the below link to see the video]
One day, while taking his walk out in the open grounds, Dada passed by a lake. There was a family by that lake who was engrossed in fishing. The others walking with Dada tried to bypass this, knowing Dada's feelings regarding the taking of life. But Dada walked towards the family and went up and spoke to them. The father, who was a wrestling coach by profession, had just caught a huge fish on his line. Dada said, he was prepared to give him whatever he wished, if he would but release the fish and put it back in the lake. The daughter said that she wished to be famous like Obama. Everyone smiled, and then the father said what would they do about dinner? To this Dada replied, what if he were the fish and had been captured to fill someone's stomach, how would he feel? With a sheepish look, the father released the fish back into the lake. Dada blessed them profusely and said that life is so precious but we do not realise its value till it is taken away from us. Dada continued, what the world needs today is compassion. If compassion prevailed in every heart, then the whole world would be created anew. Hence, his walks too were suffused with his teachings.
IMPORTANT NEWS UPDATE ABOUT DADA JP VASWANI
The Sadhana Camp in Panama commenced on a high note, with great expectations and a mood of jubilation. All the participants eagerly looked forward to this special time with Dada. He greeted each one with a joyous and deep smile, welcoming everyone warmly to this beauteous time of closeness to the Divine, away from the fret and fury of daily life.
The theme that Dada presented was--'Hujan gad hamesha,Na dum be rahaan dhaar.'
Thus he entreated the Lord--- May I always be with You. Every thought, every act I perform must be in Thy presence. Whether I am eating, sleeping, walking or working, it should be in Your awareness. Whatever we have, we must share with others. O Lord, everything is for Thy sake!
Thus this whole day of the 7th of May passed in a mood of elevation and bliss. But at night, at around 10 p.m., Dada was on his way to participate in the Camp fire that had been organised. Outside the elevator he saw some children playing ping-pong. Dada’s , heart which is totally child-like, spontaneously responded to them. So, he joined them in their game and gleefully played a good volley. Unfortunately, while lobbing one of the shots, Dada stepped backwards, lost his balance, and fell with full force on the hard floor, damaging the right side of his body.
Naturally, he was in excruciating pain, and could not be moved from the floor till the ambulance arrived. Quickly, the devotees gathered around him, rushing to make appropriate arrangements. Dada registered their stressed stances, their faces reflecting fear and worry. In return, amazingly, Dada reflected the same serene smile with which he had initially greeted them, even though the severity of his pain was visible.
The move to the ambulance took its toll. Instead of groaning with pain, Dada would utter 'Hey Ram'. He should have been wincing, his face distorted with pain. Instead, that same steady smile was reflected from his face. The ambulance staff were wonder-struck by his attitude. Even in his interaction with the doctors and nurses, the quality of the smile may have varied, either very broad, or subtly present, but it never left his face, totally melting the hearts of all those who came in contact with him.
Later, Dada was airlifted in an air-ambulance, which, along with all the necessary instruments, was also equipped with a doctor and a nurse, to take care of Dada. He perpetually kept on thanking them, and they, not being used to such patients, were embarrassed, saying that they were just doing their job. But, despite his discomfort, Dada kept on enquiring about their comfort, showing concern for them. Thus, he landed safely in Chicago.
Dada had fractured the right hip—femur bone, the right shoulder—humerus bone and the right olecranon (elbow). As repairing all this required major surgery, Dada was first stabilised. The slightest movement caused intense pain, but Dada continued to be cheerful, ever smiling and relaxed.
On the 10th of May, the first surgery took place on Dada's hip and shoulder. As so many vital areas have been injured on the same side, the surgery had to be performed with extreme care, so as not to put any pressure on any of the injured areas.
A rod and two screws (intramedullary nail)were inserted into the femur bone.
A plate and multiple screws were inserted in the humerus bone.Naturally, the levels of pain were very high, but Dada, with his patience and perseverance, retained his encouraging and trade-mark smile.
By God's grace the operation went-off successfully, yet Dada could see all the strained and tense faces of his devotees around him. With a gentle smile he constantly recited the words --Gratitude to Thee, O Lord. Let me bear this for Thy sake. I accept this gift from You gladly, 'Tere Liye, Tere Liye'.
Even under these extreme conditions, our beloved Guru continues to be a living example for all that we should aspire to be.

Playing 'Hide And Seek' With Baba Let us catch Baba, let us catch
Behind the tree he will hide, if we won't catch
He will be on the run, if we leave Him
But will move with us if we firmly hold Him,
Baba has no dwelling place, just slips away
Upon calling with love, he cannot keep away.
He feels moved if we call "Baba", while sobbing
He feels moved if we call "Baba", while sobbing
"See, I am here", He appears thus saying
See, from our view behind the tree He hid
We need Baba, O! He should not be freed.
