Weekly Knowledge 50 Bangalore Ashram 21 May 1996  India ENLIGHTENMENT  Enlightenment is beyond seasons like the evergreen coconut tree.  Sometimes the question comes up "What's the use of all these courses? Your behavior has not changed!"  The Knowledge acquired by a human being cannot be measured or judged by external behavior. Someone may behave as though they have absorbed all the Knowledge but internally they have not. The reverse is also true. Someone who seems to have not changed at all may have absorbed a lot.  Ordinary people would just look at the behavior, but the intelligent looks beyond and is amazed by the play of the consciousness (Brahman).   Behavior affects relationships Attitude affects behavior Knowledge or ignorance affects attitude Grace brings forth Knowledge. Your inside is like a tree; in some seasons barren and at other times blossomed.  Enlightenment is beyond seasons like the evergreen coconut tree which yields throughout th...

He fulfills all our desires without us realising that its fulfilled. Life can turn 180° anytime. Be a Bhakt, be an Antewasi. I asked for a job and He gave me in one of the best ones within 30 days.  So I used to take regular Daily Sadhana for our small group, online. But particularly from 1st of June 2021 I started saying this Sankalpa after our Kriya, "Gurudev I want a nice job/ business with a basic salary of that of a Travel Consultant or skills to earn the equivalent". I used to repeat this prayer every day after our Group Sadhana and that too without any cravings of the desire to get it fulfilled. After a continuous streak of several months, all of a sudden I stopped taking Group Sadhana for our Group for one week in July 2021 and also didn't do my Kriya for 10 Days at a stretch. (you can relate if you have been doing SKY for 5+ years). Completely not so enthusiastic about the course, I didn't even do enough seva for 'Guru Purnima Course'.  On...

The year was 2001, and I was supposed to travel to Kuwait from Abu Dhabi to teach the Sudarshan kriya course, the Basic Course. The flight was scheduled for 2 pm, and I had to leave home by 12 noon latest.  The volunteers had worked enthusiastically, and a lot of people had registered for the course. But at 11 am, I was lying in bed with a 103-degree fever, wondering how I would even make the trip, let alone teach the evening batch scheduled for 7:30 pm. Just then, the phone rang. It was Mohammed Salim, a Yemeni national who had participated in my Abu Dhabi batch of the Basic course conducted a few months ago. Mohammed asked how I was doing, and I told him about my illness and my impending travel plans. Without hesitation, he told me not to worry and that he would be at my place in five minutes to help me get well enough to fly. Mohammed is a healer who practices the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and his gentle and affectionate approach helped me immensely. After j...

We all are well versed with the way we behave when GURUJI is our town, right? And no matter how many teachers educate us on how to behave, we end up being just the opposite! One such was my story.  It was a great day for all of us studying in IIT Delhi. Guruji was to visit us that day! We sat in the IIT common room for the volunteer’s session with Avinash Tiku, who was preparing us for Guruji’s upcoming visit to Delhi, explaining to us that it is not wise to ‘chase’ the Master, especially when He is in our own city, and that it is way more important for us to ensure that new members of the Art of living, or the new volunteers should get their own moments with Guruji. This made complete sense to almost all of us in that room. Guruji was in Delhi the next day, big reason to be happy. But a bigger reason was that He had agreed to give an hour of His time to all the YES!+ volunteers. This much awaited session was being organised by a dynamic group of teachers and volunteers...

There was a time in my life when the only thing that used to go on in my mind; how to commit suicide. I was tired and frustrated and I just wanted life to end. I used to keep thinking of several ways by which I could commit suicide. One day I was told about the Art of Living Part 1 course.   I went for it and believe me, after doing the Kriya only once; I fell in love with it. When I came back home after the course my mother was very surprised to see me. She said that I am looking cheerful and energetic. I told her that I am going to make Guruji my spiritual Guru. Since then I became a dedicated devotee. The Sudarshan Kriya has all by itself changed my life. Earlier, I used to feel very tired, lazy and lethargic. I used to get irritated very soon and even the smallest things would irritate me. I would not talk much; just remain silent all the time. My mother would also wonder why I always looked tired and pale. She would always tell me to talk and get some liveliness in...

The day I attended my first Art of Living course, I knew I had opened a new dimension in my life. It felt like my consciousness had awakened. Until then, I was a very logical person and hadn’t realized how stubborn I had become.  However, thanks to AOL, my life changed for the better. I always assumed problems were gender specific. I used to think it’s easy for men to overcome their problems but not for me, I was getting vacuumed into all my issues. Luckily, this thinking has changed. We all face problems. Challenges do not escape anyone. It’s up to us to enjoy our lives and appreciate the ups and downs it brings us. Everything is a lesson. Through the course, I understood the importance of self-discovery. I learnt to accept all my problems and deal with them correctly. It gave me the gift of insight. Especially the insight into our culture and the importance of passing all of this down to the generations to come. My anger and stubbornness was seamlessly converted into ...

This is a story about how a chance encounter changed my life forever. After completing my final year MBBS university exams, I eagerly searched for the dates on which Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar would be at the Bangalore ashram, as I had decided to attend the Advanced Meditation Program when he would be there. Despite my dad’s advice to check airfare, I booked a bus ticket from Pune to Bangalore. One day before my departure, I received a call from the ashram that the Youth Special course had been postponed to March 28th due to Guruji’s presence at the ashram during that time. I was given an option to join the other course in Bangalore which was starting on March 2nd. I arrived at the ashram on the morning of February 28th and decided to explore it the next day as I had a free day before the course started. The next morning, I thought of texting Shivprasad Sir, my teacher who took the course in 2022, to see if by chance he was in the ashram and could meet with me. He replied...

If I say that I am grateful, I am thankful or anything else for that matter, it does not suffice. Nothing that I say can ever express the love that I feel for Gurudev.  I was suffering for 2 long years with bleeding in my intestines. Surgery did not help, and neither did the various medicines that I kept trying. I ate healthy and worked out, but all in vain. On the outside I was a fit young lady, but inside I was broken. The breaking point came when one day, in January 2013, I suddenly could not breathe. As my husband rushed me to the hospital, my breathing became very laborious and my body became paralyzed. But through my struggle to breathe, I kept hearing a voice telling me not to worry as I had experienced something similar (fast breathing) in the Sudershan Kriya. It kept getting tougher and tougher to breathe, with each breath. In a matter of minutes, I could see my world crashing and I quickly started bidding goodbye to my husband and my young children. In my mind...

I was never a big follower of any Guru. The whole concept was alien to me. My elder sister on the other hand was devoted to Guruji. She insisted that I do the Yes!+ course but I dodged it for more than a year. Then she gifted me a book, ‘Stumbling into Infinity’ by Michael Fischman. The book told the tale of Michael, one of the first followers of Guruji and how his life had transformed.  When I finished the book, I was in awe and couldn’t wait to do the course. Luckily for me, I found out from a friend that the next course was happening in two weeks. However, my final exams were to begin the day after the course ends so I was apprehensive but my friend convinced me to do it. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and the Sudarshan Kriya experience was magical. After my course and exams, I flew to the US to meet my sister. We went to Los Angeles to volunteer for Upanishads, a discourse by Guruji that was going to take place over three days. Everyone told me I was very lucky to ...

I had been to the Bangalore ashram for the first time, this year in January. My aunt had requested me to give her letter to Guruji. The letter was sealed in an envelope.  I promised her that I would give the envelope to Guruji, in His hand, to which she said that she would love it if I gave it directly to Him, but since it gets really crowded in the ashram, I might have to put it in the basket. What she said was very true, but I knew how important it was for this letter to reach Him, so I made a strong Sankalpa in my heart for the same. Since this was the first time I was visiting the ashram, I did not really know how to reach the place, and was travelling with a friend, who too was going to Bangalore for the very first time. Eventually, I landed up meeting 50 more volunteers in the train, who were also headed to the ashram. They had an appointment with Guruji. They asked us to come along to meet Guruji. “This was the best time to hand over my aunt’s letter!” I thought ...

''If that unseen Force had not pushed us out of the flood waters, we would have surely drowned. This was nothing but a miraculous escape from death, thanks to the Master.'' says MAKRAND JADHAV, one of the leading trainers for the Art of Living's Youth Leadership Training Programme.  It was a late night in August 2011 and my friend and I were driving home from Katepur Village in Latur. It was raining heavily and there was water-logging all along the route. We were driving through an incessant heavy downpour and we could barely see the road ahead of us.  Suddenly, we realised that we were on a slope and the car started slipping off the road. We frantically applied the brakes and to our utter dismay, the car spiralled and did a 90 degree turn. The car started sinking as it entered a gushing water stream. For a moment it looked like a huge monster waiting to swallow us up. We lowered the windows, so that we could jump off. Suddenly, our car hit a t...

The Divine can come to you in any form at any time. Gurudev came to my rescue in the form of that labourer at a crucial time. About a decade ago, I went to Jaipur to teach a few Art of Living courses. On reaching my host family’s home, I left my suitcases in the room and rushed to the building across the road where lunch had been organised by some teachers.  I had barely reached the building, and slipped and fell on a small slope at the entrance. To my utter dismay, what i thought was a slight sprain, was actually a broken ankle - broken into two pieces. My left foot was kind of dangling on the side and here i was in a blanked out mindless state, making desperate attempts to straighten my foot. Some labourers from an adjacent construction saw me do that. One of them came running, sat down next to me and stopped me from trying to straighten my foot. He had a look of such concern and compassion on his face and it was his loving expression that pulled me out of my d...

One day I left the Ashram. Another devotee accompanied me. I think it was Kashi bhaiya. So I just left. And nobody came to know where I went. We went to a faraway village.  And then I asked the driver to stop the car outside a house. When I went inside the house, there was a man sitting inside the house. The man was a simple farmer, who had just a small farm to himself. But he had a television on which he had watched my programme. And after watching that programme, he had such an intense desire to meet me.  He would think, 'How do I meet Guruji? I can’t afford to travel to Bangalore. I have to meet Guruji in some way or the other'. And I went and stood at the door of his very house. He got such a shock. He fell on his knees and started crying. He was a simple farmer who only grew tomatoes in his farm. His farm was less than half an acre in area. He had a small family.   Similarly, once I went to a certain school one day. I took classes for both the teachers an...

I'm lucky to have learnt meditation and to have been initiated on the spiritual path at age 12 when most kids of my age were perhaps finding their bearings.  A few years after meeting Gurudev, I heard that he was transiting through Delhi. A strong urge to meet him surfaced each time he was in town and gripped me with characteristic immoderation.  A group of fellow 10th graders were going to the airport to seek Gurudev’s blessings on the eve of the board exams, and my friend asked me to join them.  My desire to meet him, overcame the nervousness for the impending exams yet left me with no yearning to ask for blessing for good grades. My thoughts were that seeking blessings for exams were rather inconsequential to the fact that I was just going to be in HIS presence. So here I was with an excited bunch of teenagers, all clamouring for Gurudev’s attention, quite different from my earlier customary interactions with him, which had been just silent exchanges, ...
