can be an impediment for samadhi because that can excite you and take you

Effect of Asanas:
(i.e. Yoga Postures = ? >>> !
Anytime you are confused, your mind is in conflict, do Asana, sit in Asana. You
will see, right straight away clarity comes. Effect of Asanas is clearing out
of all conflicts, duality. Sri Sri.

And the proof of the pudding is in eating.
Read on . . .
Thanks for the Sri Sri Yoga Course. I am doing Asanas everyday and it is so
wonderful to feel energised! I also like the fact that I am my own master when
doing Yoga. I used to follow DVDs but I find it so boring. Now I just do what
my body tell me to - it's so amazing!.

Subject: Art of Living 'transforms' juvenile delinquents


Mumbai: A group of volunteers of a spiritual organisation founded by Sri Sri
Ravi Shankar, Art of Living, has succeeded in transforming the juvenile
delinquents at the Boys' Observation Home in Shivajinagar, Pune.

Though the NGO had organised its Bal Chetna and Nav Chetna courses for these
children earlier, they did not have much impact. "Merely conducting the
workshops was not enough. We then decided to start daily follow-ups, as
suggested by the authorities," said Nitin Pradhan, a coordinator of the group.

"These children used to have violent fights, and at least 3-4 boys would escape
from the home each month. They were always on the lookout for an opportunity to
run away," said MN Sonawane, superintendent of the observation home.

The results started becoming apparent four months ago when the teenagers, 46 of
them, attended the Nav Chetna course. They were taught ramdhyan, pranayam and
satsang. "Earlier, it was impossible to control these children. They used to
become restless and would constantly fight among themselves. But we worked hard
for two months. Their warden, who used to stand in the hall with a cane in her
hand, did not require it after a couple of weeks," said Pradhan.

Such has been the transformation that the children now look forward to the
daily dhyan and satsang. "The running away stopped completely in October. They
have become quieter and observe the daily routine with discipline. They have
developed a bond with the volunteers as they feel cared for. The effectiveness
of these workshops will be further proved once we rehabilitate them back into
the society. We conduct various short-term courses like candle, paper bag, and
chalk-making for them. One volunteer suggested that they should be trained as
plumbers and electricians. We are considering the suggestion," said Sonawane.

Their rehabilitation of these kids is essential because they tend to fall back
into bad company. They also involve other youngsters from their area in
criminal activities. This will stop if they start earning and realising the
benefits of a positive way of life, Sonawane said. The observation home is now
in talks with another NGO, which imparts vocational training for free to
children from weaker sections of society.

Encouraged by the results, the Yerawada Boys' Observation Home, which was in
the news recently as the children had escaped in hordes from there, has also
invited the AOL volunteers to conduct these courses at their home.

Dhule(Maharashtra)- Awaken & Aroused in Wake Up & Shake Up by Shri Mahesh
Gireeji

Today's sunrise bought the charming members of the Art of living parivar Dhule
in hoards to Krishna Garden in the early morning mist and our no of
participants reached 600. Particpants also arrived from Dondaicha, Shahda,
Kalwan, Shirpur & Pimpalner.


A meeting of teachers and volunteers with Shri Mahesh Gireeji yesterday night
gave the first glimpse of the arrival of this most powerpacked, charismatic AOL
teacher. This meeting gave us a tinkling that Wake-up Shake-up will be highly
amazing and unique programme that Dhule will ever witness.

Arrival of Hon. Shri Mahesh Gireeji was saluted by applause from one and all.
This applause lasted for nearly 30 minutes only after that overwhelmed Mahesh
Gireeji could be felicitated. Most of us present had the first experience of
seeing a honoured ,record creator our beloved AOL teacher Mahesh Gireeji in our
own land and this filled there heart with gratitude and surprise. The
simplicity with which Maheshji accepted our applause on his arrival was
terrific and set the ball rolling for the day.

"Wake-up Shake-up" as it is a highly motivational program for teachers and
volunteers to channelize the energy in the right path and achieve there goals
in personal and social life. The simplicity with which Shri Mahesh Gireeji
explains the concepts of life and path to be followed in life is just
marvelous. The short punch lines given by him are such that participants will
not forget them for the rest of his life. Maheshji presents concepts in the
form that they can be applied straight to practical situations in ones own
life. This makes ones life more simple and useful for the society he lives in.

The most powerpacked day with Mahesh Gireeji has left most us to rekindle our
thought processes and revive our lost vigour in life. The terrific voice our
Maheshji a super achiever, orator, charismatic leader and all in one has built
a very high level of self confidence in teachers and volunteers here. We are
all looking forward to Mega Sri Sri Yoga programme with Shri Mahesh Gireeji in
Jan 2010.
