Subject: Knowledge Sheet fro Sri Sri...We need to wipe out ignorance

We need to wipe out ignorance

March 06, 2012

(Below is the transcript of Satsang with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar)

Mahasatsang at Indore

Whatever I wanted to say Shivraji has already said it all.

Once hearts are connected, there is nothing left to say. Still, I will tell
everybody to stay 'In door'.

There is only a slight difference in English between 'In door' - going
inward and 'Indore'.

'Antarmukhi sada sukhi' (the one who goes inward is always happy).

When the mind goes inward even for a little while, we get such strength.

The respected Chief Minister, Shivraji, just talked about 'save the girl
child movement'. You might have heard me speak about this many times before
also. I keep saying this.

Killing a cow is said to be the highest sin. In our scriptures it is said
that killing 100 cows is equal to killing one scholar. Killing 100 scholars
is equal to killing one saint. And Killing 1000 saints is equal to killing
one girl child.

The sin of killing a girl child is equivalent to the killing of 100,000 cows
or 1000 saints. Killing that girl child inside the womb itself is not right.
We are all educated people, so today take a vow not to kill the girl child.
Good!

Just before coming here, while I was giving a talk at the University, I got
to know that in Indore, every single day a suicide happens.

I tell you, life is so precious, do not lose it.

Why do you want to lose it? Why do people commit suicide? Just because you
got less marks, or your debts went high, or some girl or boy rejected you
and your love failed? Leave all these!

You got so disinterested in life that you started committing suicide?

I am telling you come to me and give me all your pain. All your troubles,
all your botherations, give them all to me.

In our country there was this custom - Mata, Pita, Guru and Dev.

When we were children what did we do? When we were sad we called out 'Amma'
and went to our mother. Yes or no?

Whenever a small child has any trouble, it runs to its mother. If the child
had some quarrel with the mother, where will the child go? To the father.

When we were in school what did we do? Any problem we used to go to the
class teacher. In every family there was a saint, a Guru. We used to go to
them and whatever botheration or trouble was there, we would surrender those
at their feet and become empty.


If someone did not have a Guru, then there was the family deity. Every
family had their own Kuldevta (family deity). So we would go to the family
deity, any problem we had we would surrender it there and become free.

We have left all these practices today. That is why all this suicide,
infanticide, etc., started.

The root cause of all this is ignorance. We need to wipe out ignorance. We
need to bring literacy, and this does not mean only education based on
facts, but also spiritual knowledge, i.e., education of human values.

Education of human values means kindness, love and belongingness. Corruption
begins Where belongingness ends. Till date no one would have been corrupt to
those who belong to them. It is just not possible. And what is spirituality?
It is what expands belongingness. You feel that everyone belongs to you.

So, we have to start standing up against ignorance and we have to fight
against injustice. Do not keep tolerating injustice. Stand up against it. If
you feel that there is corruption anywhere, 8-10 people go there and sit
down there and say that we will not tolerate injustice. Or directly contact
the Chief Minister, he will ensure you get justice. He is the head of the
state, of this family, so you have the right to go to him. But only if are
walking on the path of justice.

We also have to remove shortage and work on keeping our environment clean.

So, we need to fight against these four things: Ignorance, Injustice, Lack,
and Uncleanliness.

If all of us here take a sankalpa to give just two hours in a week, or in
two weeks, so much can be done and we can keep this city clean. If all of us
here at Indore contribute, so much service can be done.

I had come to Indore seven years ago. Now after seven years I see a lot of
development.

I was just saying that I cannot recognize this Indore now. It has developed
so much. But along with development comes lack of hygiene. You will see more
plastics thrown here and there, and more of cutting down of trees - that is
why we need to give attention to the environment. We all have to take
responsibility for it. The Municipal Corporation will not be able to do it
alone. How can they do it if the people do not participate? So we all need
to stand up to remove ignorance, remove injustice, and wipe out narrow
mentalities that discriminate between caste and creed.

When spirituality in our country was high, we were very prosperous. There
was no shortage of any kind. Where there is Narayana then Lakshmi also comes
along.

We owned 33% of the world's GDP when we were at the peak of spirituality.
When there was a drop in spirituality, our financial position also came
down. So we need to wake up.

To remove shortage, each one of us has to do something.

Madhya Pradesh is the heart of our country. I want there to be no
unemployment in Madhya Pradesh. All youngsters should be employed. There is
no shortage of jobs in the country. In fact people say that we have jobs,
but we do not get enough people to work.

While I was coming here, one gentleman was telling me that there are a lot
of opportunities, but we can't find people. There are so many entrepreneurs
in this country and they all say the same thing, 'We are ready to create
jobs but people should join.'

The youth can also become entrepreneurs.

But the root cause of all of this is that we have heard that God is within
us, but we have not experienced it. We need to experience it.

Just once if you get this experience, you will see that what you have been
searching for is right here, right inside you!

I tell you, just once if you experience this, after that nobody can rob you
of your smile. All your wishes will effortlessly be fulfilled. So don't
forget this, always keep one step firm in spirituality.

For a few minutes if you sit and keep your mind calm and do some practices,
then forget about your wishes being fulfilled, that is a very simple thing.
You will be able to fulfill the wishes of others too because the Master of
the world is sitting inside us.

When the Lord, who is the owner of everything, is within us, then what do we
lack?

This is not a concept, this is the truth. This experience can arise in each
and every one of you.

Do not think God is only for those monks who renounce everything and go to
the forest or the Himalayas. Only they will you find God. No, it is not like
that. God is omnipresent and is in every one of you. This experience is what
I call meditation and this is what I have come here to tell you.

That is why I keep going place to place to tell everyone this. To remind you
that God is within you. Go inward for a little while and see that nothing is
impossible! What is not possible? This is what is called as spirituality.

Just one glimpse of this, or just an idea of it, gives you an everlasting
smile. Sorrow disappears. All kinds of sorrow go away.

These days I have been thinking, if the youth take out some time to serve
the country, we can strengthen the country. Give your country six months of
time. If the youths of our country devote six months of their time for the
country, we will be able to wipe out all these four problems (Ignorance,
Injustice, Shortages and Uncleanliness).

We can go village to village; we will shut down the liquor shops. People are
poor because they spend 60% of their income on liquor and that is why there
is poverty.

We can teach people organic farming.

In Madhya Pradesh, I understand that a lot of people have raised voice for
organic farming. More should rise.

Nowadays, diseases such as cancer are increasing in the country. The reason
behind this is that we are eating food that has been grown using pesticides.

In earlier days, rice and wheat used to be infected with insects. These
days, we can't even find insects in grains. We eat the food which even
insects do not want to eat! What will happen then, you tell me? There will
be pain in the body!

Tell me how many of you have body pain, raise your hands. I think about
60-70% of the people are raising their hands. How many of you do not have
pain, please raise your hands.

You all are probably doing pranayama, yoga, meditation, etc., or maybe due
to hesitation you are not raising your hands.

We must do satsang for a few minutes every day. Sit with belongingness,
without any artificiality.

Many times, you welcome someone to your home and say. 'Welcome, please come
in,' but in your mind you say, 'oh why has he come?' This way if we live our
life talking and acting artificially, in time we become disinterested and
depressed and diseases will arise. That is why, if we are natural, simple,
confident and we act out of belongingness, then our life starts to
transform. Today, the world is ready for such a change because we are fed up
of disinterest and weaknesses.

Depression is the biggest disease in the world today. When we were children
we had never heard of someone being bipolar, or someone having any mental
disorders or depression. We never heard about depression. Today you go
anywhere, people will say, 'I have depression.'

What depression? If one is too selfish, then only depression will happen,
nothing else!

When we have someone of our own, then we are able to feel the joy in life.
Disinterest does not touch us. This is spirituality.

In scriptures it is said that Raso Vai Sah - What is God? What is the self?
God is bliss; and the closer you move toward the Self and to God, the more
blissful your life becomes. That much joy, that much happiness and love you
experience. Are you all listening?

I do not talk much, otherwise people get indigestion. If you listen to too
much knowledge, it does not get digested. Listen to a little bit and ponder
over it, keep it in your mind and apply it.

So what is the most important thing? Take some time out for yourself.

This whole world is a dream, just sit for a short while, five, ten or
fifteen minutes, and sit and see that one day this drama is going to end.
One day we have to pack up from this world.

In fact without packing up we have to leave, we may not even get the time to
pack things up! Someone else will do your packing. You will leave just like
that.

We will leave from this world, even packing is not necessary. No need for
bedding, etc., someone else will take care of all that.

If you sit for five or ten minutes, morning or evening, keeping the mind
calm, our body becomes healthy, our behavior becomes sweet, our mind becomes
pleasant, intellect becomes sharp and whatever wishes we have naturally get
manifested.

It is such great knowledge. If you get a glimpse of it once, then you would
not leave it. It is like intoxication. Knowledge is like that. Meditation is
like that. When we meditate the environment becomes pleasant; it becomes
alive. This is the most important thing.

Along with meditation we need to take a vow to do social service.

The election system has become so bad in our country that we need to set it
right. We all need to stand against it. If an MLA has to spend 5 or 6 crore
rupees to get elected, then what else with he do? He is forced to be
corrupt. He will have to get that money back.

This is the system of corruption and this should not happen. We have to
stand against it.

Yes or no? How many of you feel so, raise your hands.

During the elections in Tamil Nadu just recently, they had a code of red
Gandhi and green Gandhi.

Green Gandhi meant five notes of Rs. 500 and red Gandhi means Rs. 5000. This
was distributed in every house. In the village, each house had a fixed
amount, in this house Rs. 2500, and that house Rs. 5000. Through the medium
of television and speech, we told all the people, 'If they give you money,
take it but do not vote for them. They are not giving their hard-earned
money; it is your own money, so you take it.' Otherwise people will say,
'Guruji we are poor people, Rs. 5000 is big money for us.'

After taking the money, they had to take a vow by keeping a hand on their
children's head that they would vote for that candidate only.

I told them, 'Don't worry, you take the vow, I will take care of the sin of
breaking that vow. I will take all your sins and I will not let you be
affected by it, but don't vote for them.'

The whole world was astonished. Those people who spent so much money were
wiped out of their roots.

So I would again say to all of you, go to villages and tell people that we
need to set out to make the country strong. If people try and come to power
using money or muscle strength, we need to stand against it.

I am telling the youth of India that this society, this country is yours. Do
not just sit and watch it disintegrate. Wake up now and move ahead.

So many people think, 'oh if it is politics it is dirty.'

People tell me also, 'Guruji why are you talking about corruption, you leave
it. Do not talk about it. You just speak about spirituality.'

What do you think? I should not talk against corruption? How many of you
think that I should do it?

I said it is not in my hands, whatever comes from within me, I say that and
so I will talk about corruption. Corruption is dangerous for spirituality.
It is the enemy of spirituality. Corruption, violence, superstition, etc.,
we need to wipe these out. This can only be possible through the Brahmastra
(weapon) called spirituality. It cannot be done through law. I understand
that law is necessary but there should be a wave of spirituality arising in
people. We all together should have a revolution so that all these things do
not happen anymore. What do you think?

See, there are activists who keep shouting slogans, such as labor unions.
They only keep shouting but by shouting does any job get done? If we do not
have peace in us, by shouting for peace, we cannot get peace. It is not
possible.

So there should be harmony in speech and action, and that harmony is only
possible through spirituality. It then happens with ease.

So two things: One, bring strength and faith within ourselves and second
take a sankalpa (vow) that we will create a beautiful, divine society.


Q: Guruji, how to balance spirituality and material life?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: You know how to ride a bicycle? Just the same way.
When you leave spirituality, then somewhere there is a pinch inside and then
you go back to spirituality. When you feel that you are neglecting your
work, you give attention to your work. Take both of them together and move
ahead.

Q: Most of the spiritual people are serious and dry, but you are always
smiling! What is the secret?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Yes, I am like this only!

Q: Guruji, how to handle egoistic people?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Don't worry, don't try to handle them. There is some
hurt inside them and to hide it, they try and show their ego.

Q: People say that follow only one God. If we follow many Gods what happens?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Last time when I came to Indore, I went straight to
Pakistan from Indore and in Pakistan I was asked the same question - we
follow only one God but you all follow thousands of Gods, why is it so? This
time also I am going to Pakistan after Indore. March 11th, 12th and 13th, I
have my Pakistan tour. Thousands of people have done course there and
practice Sudarshan Kriya. Many people from the Muslim community will also
come to meet me there. Arrangements are being made there now.
At that time I answered to this same question. I said, 'You make samosa,
kachori, parantha. Different types of food are all made with wheat. Why?'
There is phulka, roti, parantha, noodles, all are also made with wheat. The
same wheat is used in many different ways.
Similarly, God has also not produced one vegetable for you, otherwise
lifelong you would have to only eat brinjal, He has done that. How many
different types of vegetables are created for you?
The creator who has created so many varieties, would He not like to manifest
Himself in different forms and colors? We also say one God, but there are
many forms, many names - Ananta Gunamaye, Ananta Naami. In thousands of
names, thousands of qualities there is only one Paramatma.
Humans have known this fact. Knowing this, they became very happy.

Q: Why do we take birth and what is the point in taking birth and dying, and
then again taking birth?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Do you know games? I don't understand why you play
games.
Why do you play cricket?
Somebody runs and throws the ball, then someone bats and throws it again and
then to catch it so many people run behind it. What is the meaning of it? If
they want a ball, then give one ball each to all of them, matter over.
If someone from another planet comes to see a football match here and he is
sitting in a stadium and watching a football match; someone is kicking the
ball from here to there, and someone else from there to here, people are
running, falling and jumping, getting tens. He would not understand what is
happening? He will think, 'For one ball so many people are running; 22
people! Just give one ball to each of them, let them go sit in the goal!'
If any civilization in this world has given an answer to this question, it
is only the Indian civilization. India has said, 'Life is not a struggle, it
is a game, a leela.'
If life has been addressed as a game in any civilization, it is only the
Indian civilization. This is the game of God - people taking birth, dying,
then coming again; the flow of karma is happening, the waves of knowledge
are going on and in between devotion arises and cleans up karma. Then
knowledge and ignorance casts its shadows sometimes and to wipe out
ignorance God again creates different kinds of activities. This is all our
own forms.
God is not somewhere distant. It is here, right now, inside you and inside
me!

Q: If in service to the Guru, household responsibilities stand in between,
what to do?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: No, it cannot come in between. Guru will only tell you
to fulfill your responsibilities in the proper way. All the Gurus will say
the same thing, do your household responsibilities well, but sit for some
time and do meditation taking some time out for yourself too. Do not get
drowned in worldly matters so that you become miserable. Just take a little
time out for yourself and relax.

Q: How do we get freedom from the cycle of birth and death?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: The moment you get the desire to be free, you will
start moving in that direction.

Q: Is it possible to prohibit liquor in Madhya Pradesh?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: It is definitely possible. You all get into some seva
work. When people start doing Sudarshan Kriya and meditation, it will
happen. Tell those people who take liquor to come to us, we will give them a
better intoxication. There will be no expense and the intoxication will also
never disappear, you will always be on a high.

Q: What do I do to come out of depression?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Don't just sit and keep thinking about yourself. 'What
will happen to me?'
What is going to happen to you? You keep thinking about it and get
depressed. You are here in this world to do some work for the society.
You have come in this world to the work of God; to do my work. Understand
this. Just be a part of any seva activity.
Do Sudarshan Kriya. Do meditation. Keep doing Sudarshan Kriya for some time
and see how much change happens. How many of you felt a difference in your
life after doing sadhana? Raise your hands. See, so many people have been
transformed!

Art of Living Part 2 course (Advance Meditation Course)

The Part 2 Course is popularly termed as a vacation for mind, body, and
spirit! Many times when we go on vacation we return feeling exhausted and in

opportunity to truly rejuvenate at least one week out of each year - take an
Art of Living Part 2 course. Part 2 courses are a vacation in the truest

Part 2 courses build upon the information already learned in the Art of
Living Course.

have remarkable effects on the system, reviving energy and enthusiasm and
providing deep rest for the mind and body.

The Art of Living Part 2 Course gives you the chance to Refresh, Recharge,
Renew... Return to your activities with renewed energy, greater clarity and

21st March to 24th March 2012 at Dayanand Vihar ,Delhi 92)

Encourage and Enroll for the AOL PART II
Advance Course

With the One & Only
Rishi Vidyadhar Ji

From Wednesday 21st March to Saturday 24th March 2012
(Reporting at 6pm on Tuesday 20th March 2012)

The Art of Living Advance (Part 2) Course provides optimal conditions for
going deep within, quieting our mental chatter,
and experiencing deep rest and inner peace.
The practice of silence - of consciously withdrawing our energy and
attention from outer distractions -
has been used in different traditions throughout time
as a pathway to physical, mental, and spiritual renewal.
By participating in various course processes specifically designed to take
us beyond our usually active "monkey minds",
we experience an extraordinary sense of peace and renewed energy that we
carry home with us.
The course features:
. Rejuvenating yoga
. Two to three days of guided silence practice
. Unique guided meditations designed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji
. Advanced breathing techniques which can also be practiced at home after
the course
. Advanced insight on the laws governing our mind and emotions
The course is typically held as a residential retreat in a place of natural
beauty and tranquility.
It's no wonder that many course participants refer to it as the ideal
vacation for body, mind, and spirit.

So, if you want to experience total joy from almost the word "go", do avail
of this wonderful opportunity to do the beautiful Advance Course
with RishiVidyadharji ..

Vidyadhar" means the Keeper of the Knowledge .. and with Rishiji, Knowledge
from the Ancient Shastras is related - with great humour - to everything
from modern science to practical tips for everyday living.

Also ! The morning yoga session is a joyous musical aerobics session taken
by .. Rishiji himself !

Guru Purnima 2012 at the Intl. Center for Meditation and Well-Being in Boone, North Carolina, USA Save The Date | June 28 - July 3

Since Vedic times, the first full moon in July is considered an auspicious day known as Guru Purnima. It is a day to honor your spiritual teacher or guide, and to feel gratitude for the beautiful wisdom and grace that has come your way, and the great tradition of teachers. Love comes to you in so many forms, and on this day, you have a chance to honor one of those whose role is to elevate your life to divine love, which is really your own nature.

While it is a traditional "day of the master," Sri Sri notes that it is really the day of the student; a day to look back and see how you have progressed, express gratitude, and set a vision for the year.

From June 28-July 3, come home to Boone for the first ever Guru Purnima to be celebrated in our breathtaking new international facility in the heart of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains. The Guru Purnima celebrations are on the last day, July 3. The weeklong programs will be vast and deep, and Sri Sri himself will be there during this time.

The gala inauguration of this facility will also take place during this time, on June 29, with several international dignitaries and participants expected.. You are invited!

Subject: DSN in Charlotte, NC

DSN is a rigorous and transformational course that empowers participants to break through personal inhibitions and barriers and access inner stability and power.

We each have a deep desire to be the best we can be - for ourselves, our families, our communities and even our world - but many of us have personal barriers, old habits, or inhibitions that hold us back and keep us from fully participating in life. Old emotional wounds, self-concepts, attitudes, and fears can also be obstacles to living the life we really want.

DSN uses a powerful combination of yoga, group processes, and deep spiritual knowledge to break through personal barriers and create personal empowerment.

DSN would be held in Charlotte from March 29th - April 01st.

Subject: 3 Days with Guruji in ISHTYLE!!!!

What a superr 3 days with Guruji!!!
The first Devi Puja on 24th Feb in Delhi NCR with several thousands of devotees took sankalpa and it just took him 5 mins after sitting to get into Bhav! Blessings showered and what a mood he was in.... He met every devotee who had done sewa personally, not once but twice and thrice. In the Mahasatsang yesterday, he danced singing "Narayan Narayan jai jai govind hare..." making everone in the crowd get up and dance too... Like a mother who was soo happy with her children. Each AOL volunteer and teacher from North Delhi and so many from Delhi NCR including the Puja team contributed to make this event a super success, great teamwork all across. The most beautiful thing was that all Non AOLites kept running for HIS darshan saying.."Humare Guruji aaye hain...He met all key dignitaries of North Delhi and every street light pole colony gate and every rickshaw had Gurujis posters... and asked everyone to stand up and take responsibility to make a divya samaj in Delhi and multiply the centers we have today.!

The Advance course was the best ever with over 1100 + people doing the course(lets not forget that last month we had 11 Advance courses in Delhi NCR Guruji gave such a short notice to organise). Mind blowing meditations, Satsangs with the Lord Himself!!! Excellent arrangements, food and the best part was that every center sent people. A saamoohik yagya where almost every teacher in Delhi NCR gave their Aahooti! Guruji gave darshan to everyone and what wonderful work done by the Advance course organsing team.

The Youth event organsed by YES+ was simply mind blowing. Guruji came wearing goggles addressing over ten thousand in the lawns of Hindu College.YES plus volunteers presented a wonderful dance presentation on key mantras of life-awareness, centredness, forgiveness, acceptance, responsibility, etc.Guruji was in mood and while getting up threw his shawl in style said "you need to do everything in style and get out in style too". The Q&A was the best part, he just bowled the crowd with his answers and every answer would invite roars of applause from the youth who had come to see their hero...their celebrity! When asked "Whats teh secret of your energy?" he said "I have revealed it all in YES and YES plus course!". He said all hopes are on youth and we need to bring BCCI under RTI. When asked "Which party to vote ?" he laughingly said "we should keep changing. Vote for honest people whichever party the are from. Then moneypower and muscle power will then go. Do not let people in power for long. Give them holiday. Lagaam should be in hands of youth"....and the crowd were in pits of lalughter....and the best one was "I am already cool why should i do YES+" to which he said " all people before teh course say that but i say...you will be cooler!!!". When asked " Insaaniyat kam hoti jaa rahi hai.." he replied "Nazar nazar ki baat hai...mujhe koi bura nahin dikhta, bus dukhi aur bewakoof dikhte hain..". and when asked "Will the world come to an end in 2012, he said with a twinkle..."Only in American movies dear.."He asked every youth to read yoga vasistha and do meditation and pranayama. There were huge crowds thronging on our registration desks wanting to register for our courses. Ammazing work done by YES+ team from mobilising crowd to raising funds!

Delhi NCr cant rest...we move on to the next milestome!!!

Delhi NCR gears up for March 24th with Volunteer Convention and March 25th with West Delhi's turn with the first ever Navratri Puja with Guruji and evening satsang in West Delhi.

Subject: Recommendation: Mantra Sadhana Course - Dr. V. Sastry-Ji (San Diego, February 2012)

Southern California Greetings, Dear Ones:

Noted below are some of the reasons I recommend the Mantra Sadhana Course with Dr. V. Sastry, Priest, Halifax Hindu Temple (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada).

· One of the most generous and beneficial AOL courses in which I have participated since my first AOL course in approximately 2005.


· Sanskrit/English Mantra Sadhana Manual thoughtfully compiled by Sri Sri, Dr. Sastry-ji, AOL—it really shows.


· Dr. Sastry-ji welcomed questions, although I was so replete by all the detailed instruction and chanting I could truly only ask and receive/digest the answer for one question, even though I had a few more questions on my list.

· For a long-time, professional educator (and grandfather), very high energy and enthusiasm regarding Mantras and Vedic studies in general plus sincere stories told—with specific purposes/lessons. No wasted words or time.


· One {of several} unexpected "bonus": A Puja recognizing all 24 deities and using most (if not all) of the approximately 40 chants taught during the course. Another {surprise} bonus: It seems that from all the concentrated studies/chanting over 4 days I had a personal shift to a more sattvic view of some goings-on in my life and how to approach those goings-on in a more sattvic manner. JGD!

· After many years of experience studying with various Eastern and Vedic Studies teachers, it is a blessing to study with Dr. Sastry-ji – a "10" in quality and quantity. Look forward to his next course in Southern California. I intend to be there. It is good if you go, too. J
