Dear friends,
Sometimes in life, what we want does not happen, and we are disappointed about that but when we look back, we see that whatever happened, happened for good. I was supposed to visit South Africa with my family and mother-in-law/father-in-law at the end of last month, and I have been waiting for this program since last year. The work could not be completed due to visa problems, and my family and I were disappointed.
I was sharing this situation with my mother, and I expressed my wish that I want to travel alone to Bhutan by bike. My mother immediately said that she would also like to go with me and this made me very excited. We (just mom and son) went on an 8-day tour for the first time in my life, and it turned out to be one of the most important trips of my life.
I got time with my mom and got an opportunity to serve her. My mother took a bike ride with me at the age of 71 and toured a very beautiful area. We decided that every year we would travel together for a week. The intimacy of our relationship and mutual appreciation grew. What we don’t get a chance to talk about in everyday life, we got it. And all this happened only because the universe prevented the planned plan from being implemented. This gave us a lesson that we should try our best but should not be disappointed because we do not know the intention of the universe.
My younger daughter and wife were disappointed because what they had planned didn’t materialize, and my wife suggested I meet them in Madagascar instead of South Africa which was not on my schedule. It was very difficult for me as my board meeting and many guests were scheduled at the same time. I brainstormed with others and we figured out a way that I could video connect to Madagascar for important meetings and other people could host. In this way, I was able to get time with my younger daughter and wife and it was also possible to visit a new area. I surprised Zara, and her happiness knew no bounds. The exciting thing is that work continued with both trips because I was able to keep in touch via video and email for half the day. The lesson learned from this was that selections are not necessary all the time. We can have many experiences together in life.
On return to India, the three Gurus spent four valuable days with their leadership team which made us more aware of ourselves and leadership. This was the first episode of the series of training in coming times. Now almost every month, we will increase our thinking through the teachers so that we can become more capable of moving towards our goals.
Jagriti Project is on the progress path. Jagdeep Ji spent time in China and gained information about many new technologies. Himanshu Ji took the work forward in obtaining capital, and now we plan to finalize most of the important orders in the coming months so that we will be able to progress further.
Many activities are also going on in R&D. We will launch our flexible packaging product this month. Hearty congratulations to our innovation team for this. This is an important stage of your journey. To expand the work further, I met many different organizations in the USA and Costa Rica, and under this, many activities will come up in the future.
We are growing our team in the US and will be setting up an office in downtown Atlanta to bring our products to market in the coming year.
We are expanding our board so that we can get more guidance. Now, we need people who have experience working at the global level, and can show us the right path. Shubham Tibrewal ji joined us in this series. Shubham Ji is a citizen of France and has considerable international experience in the finance sector. He had also received training with him in Ayodhya about 15 years ago.
Together, we have to progress like this and have full faith in the universe.
With best wishes,
Yours,
Ved
