Being happy is a practice. Being unconditionally happy is a practice: Come what
Being happy is a practice. Being unconditionally happy is a practice: Come what
may, today I'm going to smile. Anyway, everything is going to die! Everything
is going to vanish and disappear---so what! Who cares! Let me at least be
happy, smile this moment, enjoy my very breath

Spiritual Curry for the youth - Sri Sri
The Times of India
A lack of understanding of life and lack of clarity are driving our younger
generation to extreme choices. Youth face big highs and so many lows and they
want immediate solutions, immediate gratification. For them, everything should
happen now, this instant! Unless youth learn how to cope with their wants and
aspirations, they will be tempted by wrong choices that promise short-lived
thrills.

Subject: SHIVA manifestation in NJ
MAHA SHIVARATRI meant Great Night of Shiva and a manifestation of SHIVA during
that night was much evident in New Jersey. The legend goes that there is a big
celebration on this day at Mount Kailasa. (which is in Himalayas) closer to
Himalayas. All round the year it is snowing there and the place is depicted in
Puranas as covered with snow.
Setting was the same. NJ experienced one of the historic SNOW collection a day
before and it was all white colored snow everywhere. White represents PEACE and
we innocently overlooked this. We could not imagine in our wildest dreams that
it could happen here. With snow covered all over. we started our Great Night at
10pm and what we saw in next couple of hours was complete mesmerizing
experience. Sastryji from Halifax lead us to welcoming the divine gave it a
cause for celebration. Though everyone took individual Sankalpa. the divine
Sankalpa was to raise for the suffering people of HAITI.
Shiva means love and when we go deep into ourselves, then there is nothing but
innocent love. When that love blossoms, then there is no two and we see only
one. So the out-pour of love was uncontrollable and everyone contributed
opening up their wallets once again. Each one felt that those suffering there
in HAITI is part of me.
Love, Innocence, Depth and Transcendence which are aspects of SHIVA manifested
here in New Jersey. While we were bliss-ed out here, there in KOLKATA, our
SHIVA was in ecstasy.

Subject: Experience Laughter Yoga
Laugh, sing, dance and meditate has been the slogan of Art of Living for many
years. Now is the time to bring more fun and laughter to our courses and
programs. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says, "Laughter brings one to silence, and
silence brings one to laughter". Laughter is a powerful tool that can be used
to bring this very precious knowledge to the world.
Laughter International began in August 2001. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the founder
of Laughter International knew the power behind laughter was needed in today's
fast paced, stressed world. Since that time, Carla Riechman, president of
Laughter International has been leading laughing sessions where people
experience the profound emotional release and blissful peace often experienced
by many workshop participants after her sessions. Carla is now retired from the
District of Columbia Public School system and is ready to come to your area
with fun and laughter.
The time has come for laughter to help the Art of Living and the International
Association of Human Values to become more prominent in our society. People are
beginning to understand that laughter is a tool that allows one to release
stress and bring joy to the world. More and more people are coming to the Art
of Living Course after doing a Laughter Yoga session. It is a lot of fun and
also allows one to experience deep silence and the fountain of joy bubble up
from deep within and burst out into the environment.
Laughter is an experience in itself. People love the fun that laughter brings
to an evening, and the experiences are awesome
After the last session in 2009 in the National Art of Living Center in
Washington, DC, the following experiences were reported:
Zaccai Free said, "When the laughter subsided I experienced the sweet deep rest
of fulfillment. Laughter and yoga are not contradictory. They are key and lock,
essential pieces to the puzzle of being free".
Patrick Johnson said, "Towards the end, between laughs, I could truly feel the
stress creeping out of my nervous system; it was an amazing and intense
sensation, as powerful as anything else I've ever experienced during
meditation. When it was all done I knew a HUGE weight had been lifted from me
and I have felt light as a feather ever since. Thank you so much, Carla!!"
Fatahma Odebe said, "I feel like saying Awesome does not quite paint how I
felt at Laughter Yoga almost two weeks ago. I will say that I found that little
girl who GIGGLES!!!! Yes... and She/I am Awesome!!! I really missed her... So I
will be there this week to get my giggle on!!! Thank you!!!!".
I will be partnering with Art of Living and the International Association of
Human Values to bring laughter to the world. Please visit
www.laughterinternational.org for more information about this new extension of
Art of Living and the International Association of Human Values.
Call 301 588 6422 now to set up a laughter session in our city. You can also
email <laughter.yoga108@gmail.com>.
Let's have fun with some laughter.

Until we meet, please .......
Be one with your giggle.

EXPERIENCE SHARING -
Bali Experience & Q&A
August 8, 2007 by Pooja
First of all a gentle warning, reading this may as Anandji says,
cause a sensation in your stomach Casti and I just returned a
week ago from a dream vacation in Bali with a serene advanced course,
a divine yagya, profound knowledge and a few fantastic surprises. We
stayed at the picturesque Grand Bali Beach hotel, the tallest hotel
in Bali with a widescreen view of the ocean. From our room on the
ninth floor, not only could we see a dazzling masterpiece of a
relaxed sun rising over the ocean every morning, but we also had a
clear view of Suite 700 , the lucky room that was hosting Guruji.
On the morning of the 14th we did many unusual things – we woke up at
4 a.m. to do kriya in our room, went down to breakfast at 5 a.m. (btw
in Bali breakfast included a wide range of delicacies from the local
'mie goreng' to the apparently universal dish of tater tots) At 6 a.m
we were bustled into buses and taken to a place called Garuda Vishnu
Kanchana. This is an outdoor site with gigantic sculptures of Garuda
and Vishnu. There is a green central clearing that looks up at the
huge Garuda statue – something like an open auditorium created by
nature. Here, we were witness to a beautiful ceremony named the
Light of Peace. Everything was effeciently arranged by the bustling
volunteers from Indonesia . This was a trademark throughout the course
- the calm, effective way we saw Jeffrey, Roop and the rest of the
wonderful volunteers from Indonesia just take care of every fine
detail.
In Bali we were to learn later – the sign of a successful ceremony is
rain at the START of the ceremony. Yes, you guessed it, it poured
like someone was in a hurry to empty all the clouds in the sky as
soon as the ceremony started. Guruji just calmly sat on his asan,
gently pushing away the umbrellas and covers moved in his direction.
Following his lead, a few of us also decided to stay out and get
soaked in the blessed rain. The Balinese pundits were accustomed to
rain coming during the ceremony and continued without any
interruption. After the ceremony we were witness to artistic
traditional dances by young children. During the dance performances
an extra hot sun came out from behind the clouds greatly speeding the
clothes-drying process.
When we came back to the hotel for the afternoon session of the
advance course we heard that Guruji was going to take a swim in the
ocean. (We had been dissappointed the previous day to learn we had
missed his morning swim.) I didn't want to take any chances and wore
my swim trunks under my trousers for the afternoon session. Around
5:30 p.m. Rishiji stopped in the middle of an explanation and looked
up – at the other end of the hall Guruji had walked in – Guruji made
a simple gesture of "Come on" and walked out – in 30 seconds 600
people vacated the hall and were behind him as he strode toward the
ocean. A minute later the Master had entered the ocean along with
approximately 50 devotees. Most of them had not planned ahead and
were swimming in skirts, pants, salwar kameezes and in the case of
Bhanu didi – a saree Guruji was just like a playful child in the
water. He would splash water on a few of us and when we splashed back
he would cover his eyes and say, "Wait, wait, I can't see – the
water's too salty." We would stop right away only to see him turn
around and splash us again. About half the number of participants
chose to stand on the beach and watch from there – Guruji kept
insisting that we go bring each and every person into the water.
Later we were to find out that these were auspicious days to take a
dip in the ocean. He managed to skillfully swim a fair amount even
with so many people around him. No one wanted to leave the water but
at some point he decided it was time to go for dinner and get ready
for satsang, so we reluctantly left and created puddles of water all
over the hotel lobby as we made our way back to the room. Thankfully
the hotel folks were quite in awe about having Guruji in their hotel
and did not make a fuss about the sand and water entering their lobby
and meeting rooms.
From memory these are some of the knowledge points in the satsang:
Talking about the evening's swim, He said, "You know, some of you
were standing on the shore. Enlightenment is full participation, just
diving in, not standing on the shore."
Q: How do deal with a troublesome mother-in-law?
Guruji: Don't see roles. It's when you see the role of mother-in-law
that there is a problem. Didn't your mother also scold you a lot? Did
you not forget it and still love her? See your mother-in-law as your
mother and things will change.
Hurt is part of love. The crucification of Jesus was to show that -
not to pay for sins and cause guilt and regret. It was to show that
hurt is part of love.
Q: Any advice on raising children?
Guruji: I have no experience in this matter. I do the job of making
adults into children! (clapping)
Q: When is the next swim?
Guruji: Why must everything be predictable? Let this be the course
full of uncertainty. See, you may get tea in your room at 1:00 at
night. Don't be surprised. Anything is possible in the course. (On
the last day of the course Guruji confessed that he was planning to
have all 600 of us sleep in the course hall one night but then there
was not enough space so he dropped the idea!)
Q: Something about the morning's ceremony?
Guruji: After maybe a thousand years, the Bali and Hindu auspicious
dates are at the same time. So this is a very special occassion.
Q: Was it a Hindu ceremony?
Guruji: Of course! What did you think it was!
(he continued)
You know, 25 years ago it was very difficult to talk about all these
things. When you mentioned Yoga, people thought you were what do you
call it, (he used his finger to make a circle near his head for the
classic 'crazy' gesture) what's the word – cuckoo! yes, that's it -
people thought you were cuckoo. Boozing was normal and it was normal
to smoke – having a fire in your mouth was normal but Yoga was
considered cuckoo!
He asked us if we knew the Balinese greeting – "wherever you go in
the world, learn a few words from that culture. Om Swastiastu – this
is the way the Balinese greet each other" it is from the Sanskrit
word – Swast – which means to be established in the Self. So the
greeting is – May you be established in the Self'"
"In Bali and many other ancient cultures like the Native Americans,
the medicine-man or doctor used meditation to diagnose problems. But
it is hard to keep this tradition going. But this is a common thread
through all ancient civilizations – aboriginals in Australia also."
