Subject: Guruji gives high fives : Enroll for YES! TTC today


On March 27, 2007 His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was met by a standing
ovation of over 800 inner city students at McKinley Technology High School
in Washington DC.

How was Gurudev able to meet so many enthusiastic inner city high school
students?
Simple.
After teaching YES! at McKinley Technology High School, the students invited
him to come.

And he came!

The question and answer session was filled with knowledge and humor!

When asked, "How would you describe yourself in three words?" Gurudev
responded, "I'm a teenager!"

When asked, "How do we end the war in the middle east?" Gurudev responded,
"Everyone can adopt an attitude of non-violence, an attitude of peace."

As the discussion continued, students eagerly cued up to ask Gurudev
questions. When it was time for Gurudev to leave, students raced up to him
to shake his hand. He gave high fives and waved his hand and with a twinkle
in his eye he was off.

At the next meeting we had with the principal of the school he eagerly asked
us "When are you going to teach more YES! courses here? What kind of support
do you need?"

Amazing!

Now, we have a waiting list of high schools ready to implement the YES! for
Schools program.

The youth of America need you.

Subject: Guru's Grace Showering Egypt

After 3 weeks in Ashram assisting in TTC, I flew back to Cairo, I went
straight from Cairo Airport to the Red Sea, where we had out Part II course
with the wonderful teacher Hassan Tafti. I was so excited since Hassanji was
my 1st TTC teacher back in 2004, having him in Egypt was something I was so
much looking forward to, I was coordinating everything with the phone from
India with my great sevaks team, on top of them my colleague Ms. Hala. The
course preparations went smoothly and it was one of the biggest Part II
courses that we ever hosted in Egypt (35 participants). Arriving to the
course venue at dinner time I was received by all the participants with warm
greetings filled with much love, from even those I met for the 1st time. We
had guest participants from Poland, Lebanon, Jordan, Oman and Saudi Arabia
beside our vibrant Egyptian participants. The happy joyful silence blended
with rocking Satsang, where participants were singing and dancing in
ecstasy. The satsangs were vivid, with Arabic, English, French and Sanskrit
songs followed by Guruji's inspirational talks that delivers the deepest
wisdom in the simplest most humorous way. Pictures showed hundreds of light
beings (some call it angels) all around the participants, especially during
satsangs. After meditation in motion on the last evening the energy was so
high and the participants felt deep connection with each other, with teacher
Hassan who lovingly took care of each one of them and a great connection
with Guruji. At the end of the course, the participants were having tears of
gratitude in their eyes for the precious experiences they got and for the
friends they connected with in these days.

The following day teacher Hassan started a Sri Sri Yoga course where 30
participants enjoyed a new dimension for Yoga. Till the 3rd day of the Part
II course I had only 15 participants, on the last day of the course I had 15
other participants (all from the Part II course and their family members).
We were hosted by one of the participants who had a bigger hall in her
house, since the place we hired before was too small to fit 30 people.
Amazingly, our hostess cleared everything in her reception in 2 hours only
and we had a blissful Sri Sri Yoga course with Egypt's favorite Art of
living teacher now Hassanji, whose presence was a real delight for all the
participants as well as the people who just met him whether in the Part I
refresher meeting he gave or even those who met him over dinner. He was
requested by all to come back for more courses in Cairo SOON!

On the last day of the Sri Sri Yoga course I announced for the 1st Art of
Meditation course (Sahaj Samadhi) in Egypt. For 3 years we were one step
front and one step back about the course, especially that it contains Pooja,
and for anyone who have been to Egypt, would know that it is a very
religiously conservative society whether Muslim or Christian, both are quite
strict about religion and become so skeptical when they feel that there is
any ritual against their beliefs is going on. Anyways I got Guruji's
blessings on the Sahaj when I was in India. I was sure that everything will
be OK since we have his blessings and also because when Guruji gave us the
permission, he sent us the amazing, lovely mother of the Middle East teacher
Kamal Khimji, who have lived and taught in the middle east for years, so I
dropped any doubt about the course. While working on the registrations for
the Sahaj I was giving 2 courses morning Art Excel and an evening YES at the
same time, which was a blissful experience. The kids were amazing and their
experiences (especially the YES group) was very deep. Two days before the
teacher's arrival we had 20 participants, but I really wanted our 1st Sahaj
to be a big number, Kamal didi had just been in Jordan and had over 40
participants so I have put my Sankalpa to have a big number but I wasn't
sure of a fixed number. I had a small talk with a numerologist friend and
asked him what would be a good number of participants to have a WOW effect
course, he told me "3" is the number of expression and "6" is the number of
unconditional love so work on having either a 3 or 6 in your course. I said
Jai Gurudev, I am sure we will have the best number we can have and I
started spending my whole 2 days in doing Sadhna and listening to Guruji's
knowledge. I guess it was my 1st time since my TTC that I do 7 Padma-Sadhna
per day! When teacher Kamal came to Cairo, we were preparing a Refresher
meeting for the Part I course so she would meet our participants, and what I
wished for happened. People fell in love with Kamal didi and they started
calling me the following day (the Sahaj course day) asking if we still have
spaces as they want to get their friends and family with them. Didi said
seems we are having 30 participants now, I told her we will have 33, and
that was my Sankalpa 3+3=6 and I asked all my friends to pray for the course
with me.

At night people kept on coming, those who reserved and more and we had our
1st Sahaj course with 33 lovely participants, most of which have done the
Part I course before. At that point I knew that Guruji blessed me with
manifesting my Sankalpa for the number of participants, but the Pooja
remained the big step.

Teacher Kamal explained meditation and the pooja in a beautiful way. She
spoke about the importance of gratitude and how it is present in every
religion. She started the Pooja and people were watching it with the
innocence of children. They were showing gratitude to the divine, each in
his/her own way, which made the Pooja even more powerful that some people
started meditating during it. I have to say that if it weren't for Kamal
didi's skillful way of explaining the whole thing, I wouldn't be writing
this article right now, I am really grateful that Guruji sent her to us.

The following day, participants asked "where are the fruits and the blessed
flowers of the Pooja?" They took the flowers and ate the fruits with much
delight. The 1st experience of Sahaj meditation was very deep. Some had
streams of energy allover their bodies, others felt as if they were flying.
One participant felt that he was enveloped by light from both sides, another
felt tingling sensations in the 3rd eye. More elevating experiences happened
on the 3rd day of the course. We ended the course with the celebration of 2
participants then people stayed to talk to teacher Kamal, whom (as they
said) they felt she was very near to their hearts. Participants stayed till
1 am and only left after we requested them to give her some time to rest as
she is flying back to Muscat the following day. People loved the Sahaj
course and loved Kamal didi, her motherly love, support, kindness,
gentleness, blissful presence and her strong faith made the people keep on
requesting that she must come back for more Sahaj courses in the near
future.

This was a glimpse from the showers of love, grace and blessings that Guruji
continues to give to Egypt.

Jai Gurudev

Subject: Excerpts from Sri Sri Satsang-13-1-11 in Priyadarshini Park Mumbai


Sri Sri Satsang-13-1-11 in Priyadarshini Park Mumbai

Today we will not talk about stress & stress relief. Neither about
relationships... But something much deeper.

Remember your age... whatever it is 25- 30 years...... where were you before
this 25-30 years. Where would you be after 50-60 or say 100 years :). Mumbai

existed before you were born, 100 years ago, 1000 years ago........ this
Ocean existed then too.

Do you remember how you entered your mothers womb?

Do you remember how you came out in this world?


Until the age of 5 the child remembers his past birth. The child recognizes
colors & moves fingers. If you observe closely sometimes they say that I was
born in Sangli (in Maharastra) or I was in UP. But elders tend to overlook
that.

Levels of Prana (Life force energy):

Stone (Pathar) has 1 unit of Prana

Water (Pani) has 2 units of Prana

Fire (Agni) has 3 units of Prana

Air(Hava) has 4 units of Prana

Ether (Akash) has 5 units of Prana

Trees (Ped/ Paudhe) have 6 units of Prana

Animals (Prani) have 7 units of Prana

Human Being (Aadmi) has 8 units of Prana. Hence he is called as ASHTAVASU

Parshuram had 9 units of prana & was referred to as Avtar Purusha. Do you
know why? Every animal is attached to its mother the most. At the orders of
his

father, Parshuram beheaded his mother & became MahaPurush.

Lord Shriram had 12 units(Kala) of Prana.

Hanuman had 14 Kala units(Kala) of Prana.

SriKrishna had 16 Kala units(Kala) of Prana.

Higher levels of Conciousness.
=======================================
I) Pitru: Soul with lot of anger, desire, incompletness dwell in this level
of conciousness.

II) Yaksh: This is "Combined counciousness". It is said that every city has
one Yaksha like New York, Mumbai, Calcutta. Yaksha provides Wealth (Dhan/

Sampati) is.
Our body has 50 trillion cells & every cell is full of life, similarly Yaksh
is the collective conciousness of a city.

III) Gandharva: Gandharva's are behind every successful musicians.

But if you see any musician across the globe from America to Japan, they
have all entertained others, but themeselves are very sad. Its same with
wealth...

it stays for one- two generations & the third generation migth get spoiled.
Hence unless one mediates, does yoga this energies do not get right
direction.

IV) Kinnar: Kinnar energy blesses a politician. Without them no politician
would succeed.


V) Devta: Ek devta, ek aang bana hai. 33 chromosomes have made your body &
there is one Devta for every Chromosome.

You see that every GOD/ GODDESS travels on an animal..... MAA
SHERAWALI...........

Each animal brings the cosmic vibrations/ ray ex: Peacock gets Goddess
Saraswati , Bull's body radiation brings Shiva Conciousness. Right now all
Devtas are

here in this conciousness. All the mantras brings the conciouness.


VI) Siddha(PERFECTIONIST): This is the conciousness of a YOGI. The
conciousness of a YOGI is such that it doesnot want anything (Yogi ki
chetana.Apne liye

kuch nahi chahiye......) When the desires reduce & the responisibilities
increase, we call it HUMAN (Jab jaroorat kum ho aur jimmedari badh jaye to
MANAV

avastva.) When there aer no needs then it is the state of a PERFECTIONIST
(Jab koi jaroorat hi nahi ho to SIDDHA avastava kethe hai.)

Do you know the meanigs of the months?
Meanings of months Jan, Feb.. Dec You all keep saying the months & you don't
know the meaning of month
SEPTEMBER (SAPT AMBAR): 7th sky
October (Ashta Ambar): 8th Sky
November: 9th Sky

Do you which languages these months belong too?

Audience: English.

GURUJI: NO they are all derived from SANSKRIT. SANSKRIT was the ONLY
Original language that was prevalent in the universe in the start.

Feb is refered to as "Fag End"

March means "TO Go Ahead". Iraq, Iran, Kurdistan everywhere they celebrate
NEW YEAR in this month of March which is the start of new year.i.e.
GUDIPADVA

over here.

The last month is DASHAMBAR: 10th sky

YOU are older then the names of month language... GO deep in meditation to
experience all this. Else keep it in back of mind that I am much older than
my

age.

When you aim for such perfection, when you surrender to a SIDDHA, all these
Yaksh, Gandharva come to help you out. It is possible for all. Just go back
with

the feeling that you increase the bandwidth like the broadband you can go
from any level to different level. Every day there are miracles happening.
How many

of you have experienced? See you have kept only one step & how many miracles
have taken place.

Do you permit ME to remove the cap now? :) (GURUJI was wearning a beautiful
cap & at the start of this talk lot of people had objected/ requested HIM to
keep

it on)

GURUJI said that one of our School Master used to say... do you know why
does one wear a cap? So that brains do not evaporate :)

Audience: Guruji need blessings....
GURUJI: That is already there in ample.

Meditation 10-15 mins.

Do not worry.. Chinta karu naka... next year India will progress a lot & lot
of people will have an interest in Spiritualism (Adhyatm mein ruchi badne
lagegi)
