Then me and afreen are there…

T: how is the life going on then?

C: it’s going on nice

T: can you feel the style of life on those days… Generally..

C:  generally was good but occasionally there are some quarrels and fights regarding giving and taking… The king scold occasionally to condemn the incidents..

T:  what do you know about your king… Dridrashtra.

T:  where did karna went?

C: Karna went to the gurukulam of balarama we are going to the gurukulam of vyasa.

T: who is choosing the gurukulam?

C: we are choosing the gurukulams. We are guided to meditate and choose..

There were lots of gurukulams there.  whenever they are offering the education (Dhana) freely they will announce and we will choose by meditating.

Some saints are meditating so so when they are free and come out of meditation they will call  to give education. Give the list of gurukulams like nowadays the schools are giving the vacant places.. they are offering it freely so when we came to know about this offerings we will choose by meditating over that.

T: Do you have ability to meditate? Just observe your ability to choose the deserved one. Just observe your heart… Just go to the time where you do do the prayer to choose the gurukulam. Just observe the skill.. what are the techniques you are using to identify your need…

C: We are relaxing deeply.. then taking two or three names of the saints and focusing on their names from our heart… then we can feel one saint is suitable for us… Like that we have chose the gurukulam and we are going to towards that.

T: do you feel it is possible in this (present) life also..

C: Mmm

T:  absorb all the skill and knowledge from that life…. Okay.. your moving to gurukulam… Look what is happening there… Slowly take your own time..

C: we are there…  the latecomers are sent back. We Are 5,6 members.

T: how is Vyasa looking like

C: all are aged and older.. thin  figures.. skinny, but strong.. having the ability… I am 5 to 6 years on that time. They are  instructing the importance of timings and how to behave in aashram.

And that night we are practicing in meditation how to focus more deeply..

We have to wake up early without being aroused by anybody… If you are not obeying that they will send back us… So we are getting ready early by bathing in the river.. changing  our dresses.. they are giving some book like material made up of wood tied with strong ropes. Face writing in that with fruit and leaf extracts… Like we are writing assignments nowadays… Slokas and other things we have to memorise and to  retell on the next day… We have to answer.
