Greetings to all !!!
This is the first post on my new blog (url www.aniruddhafriend-rohansinh.blogspot.in).
You would be wondering why the term ‘Aniruddha Friend’ in the
blog title. Aniruddha (meaning Unstoppable)
is the name of my Mentor and Guide, My beloved Sadguru Aniruddha Bapu (Dr.
Aniruddha D. Joshi, MD Medicine). I am dedicating this blog to the Lotus feet
of my Sadguru, who, as he says is a Friend
who would never betray.
My Sadguru, just like his name Aniruddha, is simply
unstoppable. I can conclusively say this after being under his shelter for more than 13 yrs now. Within
this span of 13+ years, I have seen few of the seemingly innumerable facets of
him.
I started this beautiful journey on his path in the year 2002
when I was an Engineering student with Mumbai University. The thing which
appealed to me then was the precision and clarity of his thoughts and the
simple way in which he laid them. After Graduation, I had almost a year before
I finally landed up with a job with one of the most renowned IT company Tata
Consultancy Services. It was during this 1 year that I got introduced to several
devotional services laid down by Sadguru Aniruddha Bapu. I got a chance to work
in several of those such as Charkha Yojana (Spinning wheel project), Raddi
yojana (creating useful things from used paper), Imparting training on Disaster
management through ‘Aniruddha’s Academy of Disaster Management’, June te Sone
(Old is Gold – distribution of used clothes and household items to the needy),
Eco-friendly Ganpati murti preparation and many others. These initiatives were introduced by
Bapu in his speech on the 13-point programme on 3-Oct-2002.
Through his discourses, he puts forth very simple yet
effective principles of Life Science. He also explains it with the basis of
scientific examples, which is what appealed to me initially. My college friends
were surprised as such things are usually assumed to be done after retirement…
But some things, as we say, just cannot be explained. You have to experience it
yourself.
Bapu’s discourses are directly related to practical aspects
of our lives. One of the best example is his speech on ‘Self-health’ on the 13th of December 2014 at
Andheri Sports Complex. Putting to rest various misconceptions about health and
food he laid down simple yet effective ways of leading a healthy life.
He always maintains that one must stay up-to-date with
newer trends and technology; in the year 2003 he had said that in 12-15 years one
who cannot use a computer would be compared to an illiterate. Through his
discourses and Seminars, he has touched topics such as Swarm Intelligence, Jugaad,
Nano-technology, Quantum Physics, Artificial Intelligence, Lasers, Satellites,
Hologaphy... just to name a few. Being a Doctor, he is very well conversant
with Finance, Law, International affairs etc. The book penned by him on the
subject of the Third World War and article from the magazine Lokprabha on FinancialTerrorism stand witness to this fact.
Bapu has imparted training in ancient Martial arts, conducted Marathi classes, studied Homeopathy and addressed seminars on the subject, directed plays while he was in school and college, actively participated in sports... just to mention a few of his innumerable facets. One thing that stands apart is his non-tolerance of injustice. I know people who have seen him even go to the extent of bashing hooligans, that too when he was a renowned Doctor - without even thinking about his stature then.

The number of his followers, since I initially joined this family in
2002, has increased multiple folds now and it just seems to go on and on. Experiences that his followers come across follow a similar upward graph, be it Medical,
personal, financial or any other. His non-stop efforts leading towards a single aim that all his friends live a happy and self-sustained life.
As I said at the beginning, Unstoppable, just Unstoppable… the name says it
all !!
Hari om, Shri Ram, Ambadnya
