Subject: First Sri Sri Yoga Course In Alberta (Canada)

We just concluded the first SriSri Yoga course in Calgary (Alberta).
The course was taken by Pooja Tolani.

The participants of Sri Sri Yoga course had a very beautiful
experience. No one ever thought Yoga is so simple and profound. The
instructons from Pooja Ji were very clear and easy to follow that we
felt that Yoga is easy to practise.
After long days work doing Yoga in the evening was unimaginable when
we signed up for the course, but the course is so beautifuly designed
that we felt relieved of all day stress.

We plan to organise more such courses and bring more people into Sri Sri Yoga

With Lots of Love

Subject: Sangeeta Jani in Africa

Sangeeta Didi is on her first tour of Africa where she just completed the last
of her DSN and Part 2 courses in South Africa. While she truly overflows with
wisdom, grace, love, simplicity and witty humour, she is the embodiment of pure
devotion to the Master. How lucky we are to have spent this special period
leading up to Guru Purnima with her!

Didi is inspirational and has such a pull that almost every one of her DSN
Johannesburg participants subsequently attended her later Part 2 course. She
then so fired up the DSN group in Durban that in just 2 weeks they organized
the most beautiful 100 person Part 2 course in a luxury hotel on the beach!
This was the first of its kind in Africa and due to all the amazing stories
about Didi, soon the organizers were turning participants away as the venue was
fully booked!

I did the Part 2 course with Didi in Cape Town and despite that being my 28th
Part 2 course, one week later is was attending my 29th . and who could blame
me;-) In just 4 days I watched in amazement how my students, the vast majority
of whom come from a western background and had just done the Part 1 course a
month or two before, had simply melted and turned into complete devotees.
Having just come into this knowledge so recently, now almost every breath of
theirs is permeated with the word Guruji - how beautiful He is, how cute He is,
how inspirational He is, how committed He is! Didi has inspired not only a
brilliant team of sevaks who assisted on children's holiday camp for 150
underprivileged children, so many of these recent part 1 graduates now have the
firm resolve to become teachers so that they can spread this precious
knowledge.


Some of these recent part 1 graduates shared the following:

"The Part 2 was a profound & life-changing experience for me.I felt remarkably
privileged to be in Sangeeta Didi's presence and will do for a very long time -
I think back of her with such fond & loving memories. I have so much respect &
admiration for her - she is up there with my other role models! I miss her,
even though I don't really know her that well and I felt so incredibly safe and
cared for during the course. Sangeeta Didi is real, wise, caring, intelligent
and oh so witty!

Because of Sangeeta Didi I have accepted Guruji as my Master - something I had
been longing for since I think I opened my eyes on my very first day on the
planet! I am overflowing with gratitude and feel I have arrived home. Thank you
to all and thanks for sending us Sangeeta Didi! I can't wait to see her again.
With love, Tertia"

"The part 2 with Didi was uplifting, comforting and spiritually stimulating.
Her words are soothing and her knowledge so vast, I wish I had her available to
answer my questions and help with my problems every day. She really does
permeate joy and fun and her magnetic energy entranced us all. I hope I get to
experience her teachings again one day soon and am so grateful to her for her
love and compassion towards all those around her. Love Mike"

Didi will teach her last course on this tour in exotic Kenya from 9 - 12 July.

Guruji, Africa is grateful to you for sending yet another one of your beautiful
gems.

With much gratitude
Mukesh Vassen,
Art of Living Teacher, Cape Town

Why a blessing at 35,000 feet above sea level is important?

We never really know how learning something could be used at any given time in
our life! Well, this story illustrates just that. I recently attended the
Gurbanai Kirtan Darbar in Guruji's presence on June 19/09, at the Bangalore
Ashram. I had left Vancouver on a scheduled flight to London , UK and then
onto Bangalore , India ; to participate and support this special occasion.

Approximately three hours into the flight at an altitude of 35,000 feet and
just after our meals were served; an elderly European man began behaving in an
odd way. He hadn't eaten his meal and his behaviour was becoming more and
more offensive for the surrounding passengers. I saw this from where I was
seated, just several seats behind him. He was holding his head tightly,
clenching his fists, bending and tossing his body from one side of his chair to
another. His behaviour became more offensive, the passenger's eyes were now
closed and he began mumbling loudly and his words couldn't be understood.

The cabin crew along with those passengers seated near him began to feel
fearful and there didn't appear to be a way to engage and or communicate with
this passenger. Seeing this situation worsening, I unbuckled my seat belt and
got up. As I got up I took the name of our beloved Guruji into my heart and
moved closer to this aggravated passenger. My intention was to bless him and
inspire a calm presence within him.

As I approached him I reached out to touch him. In a few minutes there was a
dramatic change in his behaviour and he began to calm down. The blessings
training were one of many learning events in my life and thought by our beloved
Swami Pragyapadji. As he calmed down, the passenger opened his eyes.

While these dramatic events were unfolding, the cabin crew had contacted
doctors back in Vancouver . Based upon a search of the passenger's
belongings (carry-on luggage), there was medication found which identified his
condition. He suffered from diabetes and acute depression and was in desperate
need of his medication. Understanding his condition, I immediately asked for
juice and held the cup to his mouth and as well, fed him some dessert. The man
replied: "You're an angel."

Naturally, this generated some curiosity amongst the passengers – especially
when the sick passenger says: "You're angel!" Well, here I was with an
eager audience that wanted to learn and at 35,000 feet above sea level, I
started my Art of Living introductory talk! It wasn't a captive audience,
but an eager audience that wanted to understand more about our "True and
Permanent Self." As it's happened so many times before, I wouldn't be
surprised that some of these passengers may now become the Art of Living
passengers – spreading blessings, goodwill and the Creator's Will!

As a global passenger/teacher and instrument for Guruji, the blessings course
facilitated by our beloved Swami Pragyapadji continues to be used by me at any
given time and anywhere in the world! If you haven't already signed up for
the blessings course, it's never too late. You must reach out to others by
becoming a master learner! One never knows when you'll be called upon to
apply it and remove some of the suffering of our brothers and sisters!
