Subject: Art of Silence Course in Atlanta, Georgia, Labor Day Weekend

"Take one week off every year for yourself, like you take your car for
servicing. During that time, align yourself with nature, wake up with the
sunrise, do some exercise, eat proper food, just as much food as necessary,
do some yoga and some breathing exercises, a few minutes of singing, and
keeping silence, enjoying the creation. Aligning ourselves with nature, our
whole system gets recharged. It makes the whole year. We feel so vibrant and
enthusiastic." - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

The Art of Silence Course is the perfect opportunity to experience the depth
of silence, deep rest and inner peace. You will enjoy silence, deep
meditations, yoga, healthy food and beautiful satsangs in a relaxing, yet
invigorating experience which will recharge and rejuvenate your body, mind

Subject: Mantra Sadhana course at DC center

What is a mantra? "Mananaat traayate iti mantrah" - That which helps the
mind to transcend, that which saves you from repetitiveness is a mantra. A
repetitive thought is a worry. Mantras help to free you from worries.

The seminar teaches the correct intonation and meaning of popular ancient
Sanskrit Mantras. Knowing the meaning of the mantra invokes peace, love, and
leads to a meditative state. Chanting mantras creates subtle vibrations that
affect the consciousness in a positive way.

Prof. V. Shastry, a renowned Sanskrit Scholar has been chanting mantras
since childhood and is very patient with teaching people who have no
background in Sanskrit.
Mantras are universal and can be chanted by anyone. Since 5000 years, people
have achieved higher states of consciousness, attained supreme peace and
experienced bliss by chanting mantras.

Venue of advance course wid Rishi Vidyadharji changed to Manak Sadan (AC
Hall), Manak Vihar, Near Anand Vihar.

Love is seeing God in the Person next to us ,Meditation is seeing God within
Us....!

Jai Gurudev Dear Ones!

Do not miss this chance!

"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 !

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 Rishi
Vidyadharji ..

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 specif...ically
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 . 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.

What participants say from the recent course in Argentina:

"Every single AOL course i have taken has been enlightening in one way or
the other and a life changing experience. However, the new SSY2 course is by
far the most complete and life awakening course I have ever taken. The
knowledge of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is put together in such a delicate and
profound experience, one's entire point of view can shift in just a week.
With the correct training of the body, breath and mind, heavy weights are
dropped off your shoulders and life becomes a relaxing miracle, a succession
of amazing moments full of love." ~ Lucas Schnoller, 28, CEO of "Help One
Another"

"This is the best course I have taken since i did my first course at the Art
of Living, and i have taken many. Krishanji is, without any doubt, a direct
channel from the Master. His knowledge of Yoga and the way he transmits it
leaves all of us, speechless. I've reached places inside myself that i never
thought they even existed. He does hard things easy and the impossible,
super accessible to anyone. My body is changed and my mind is alert. My
connexion with the Guru is more intense than ever before." ~ Sergio Jolivet,
49, Art of Living Teacher.

Subject: GREETINGS FROM ASHTAVAKRA GROUP - DUBAI

"If you learn something of value and you benefit from it - it becomes your
moral obligation to share the learning with others...." A Chinese proverb.

An amazing experience that touched your inner soul!

Many events happen in your life but you remember only a few; and the very
few you remember vividly throughout your life can be counted with your
fingers. The recent Ashtavakra Gita discourse by Anushji (travelling AOL
teacher from Kerala, India), based on commentary given by His Holiness Sri
Sri Ravishankar, can be classified as one such event in my life

The sessions were conducted in such a manner, with a generous sprinkling of
humour, that although I thought I understood the commentary by Guruji at
intellect level ,or on second thought did I understand only the language
(!), it took a whole new meaning; not to mention, the many 'aho' moment.

As a fitting tribute to this wonderful experience, we organized a 'multiple
choice' Art of Living - Part 1 course at two difference venues at different
times. We were inspired, were assured reassured and above all, at times,
were used as 'footballs' and kicked around by our mentors, Anushji and
Umaji. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, we all needed the 'kicks' and
the inspirations!

The belongingness and the vibrant energy that emerged during the discourse
by Anushji proved he certainly lived by the Chinese proverb mentioned.

From 10th to 15th July six part one courses were conducted at different
times at two different locations, which meant we now have 150 plus new
members added to our UAE - Art of Living family.

And the last day of the course, conclusion to the month long associations
was so truly wonderful! Never felt 'unconditional' gratitude in my life.
What a day! Guru Poornima 2011!

"Celebration : You don't have to be a millionaire to be rich! Just
celebrate the bounty of what you already have! "........Unknown! I
certainly did on Guru Poornima 20111

In conclusion, I must also pay my gratitude to our own Umaji (Part 1 teacher
from Dubai) to have initiated this whole experience. It certainly has made
the AOL family to be born again and with new members. I am reminded of
what Guruji said in one of his many discourses; a tree that gives many
fruits start with a tiny seed. Thank you Umaji to have planted that tiny
seed and nurturing it.

In a nutshell, thru' the Ashtavakra session, I discovered new friends,
rediscovered friends and above all, found myself!

Subject: He sits like a refiner and purifier of silver
To: esatsang@artofliving.org

Here I want to share with you all the most beautiful Guru stories I have
ever heard.
Mr. Sajee Nissan ji narrated this beautiful story on Gurupoornima day in
Sharjah.

Many of us have read this line in the bible, and many people have not read
this line even after reading The Bible regularly. The line is "He sits like
a refiner and purifier of silver". He asks casually how many of us has seen
this line, heard or know the meaning of this line. No one in the crowd had
heard of it, so he continues. One person wanted to know what the line meant
so he asked many people, but know one knew.
At last he goes to a silver smith. The silver smith was melting the silver.
He watched curiously how the silver smith was working .This line "he sits
like a purifier and refiner of the silver" was playing in his mind; he
didn't know how to ask this to the silversmith. Then after sometime he asked
the silver smith "how would you know when the silver is ready?"
The silver smith answers, "When I start seeing my own reflection, or when I
see myself in the silver I know the silver is ready," Sajee Ji pauses here,
then says, "Yes! He got the answer! Same way when a Guru starts seeing
himself in his devotee he knows that his disciple is ready! When Guru starts
seeing his image, his qualities, his own reflection, him self in his
devotee, he knows his devotee is ready" A Guru sits patiently like a
silversmith waiting for you to purify and become like him, a Guru sits like
"a refiner and purifier of the silver!"
The way he narrated this story really touched our hearts! There were all
tears in our eyes...

Subject: GREETINGS FROM ASHTAVAKRA GROUP - DUBAI

"If you learn something of value and you benefit from it – it becomes your
moral obligation to share the learning with others...." A Chinese proverb.

An amazing experience that touched your inner soul!

As a fitting tribute to this wonderful experience, we organized a 'multiple
choice' Art of Living – Part 1 course at two difference venues at different
times. We were inspired, were assured reassured and above all, at times,
were used as 'footballs' and kicked around by our mentors, Anushji and
Umaji. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, we all needed the 'kicks' and
the inspirations!

The belongingness and the vibrant energy that emerged during the discourse
by Anushji proved he certainly lived by the Chinese proverb mentioned.

From 10th to 15th July six part one courses were conducted at different
times at two different locations, which meant we now have 150 plus new
members added to our UAE – Art of Living family.

And the last day of the course, conclusion to the month long associations
was so truly wonderful! Never felt 'unconditional' gratitude in my life.
What a day! Guru Poornima 2011!

"Celebration : You don't have to be a millionaire to be rich! Just
celebrate the bounty of what you already have! "........Unknown! I
certainly did on Guru Poornima 20111

In a nutshell, thru' the Ashtavakra session, I discovered new friends,
rediscovered friends and above all, found myself!

This was my second DSN with Sajee Nissan Ji. I was busy with my work
schedule so I was hesitant to travel all the way from Abu Dhabi to Sharjah,
but it was all worth it!

His delivery of knowledge points through short simple stories goes straight
in without any questions. . Sajee ji's ability to connect people to Guruji
is simply fantastic! I feel fully charged, transformed and energised. The
standard of presentation in one session reminds you of a management class
and in the very next session he would take us to a mesmerising world with
Guru stories that was simply filled with devotion. It left me in an elevated
platform of spirituality..... There was a lot of variety and variations
which made the course very interesting to the participants.

For those who want to hit the jackpot, DSN with Sajee Nissan ji is a big
YES!

Art of Living Sri Lanka launches ` Yoga on the hot seat ` !

The office chair generally reckoned to be the hot-seat and possibly the
highest stress-giving place in the world is all set to see a new phenomenon.
A cooling-down in that very hot seat.

Loosen your tie, let your hair down and ease that stiff neck.

The Art of Living Foundation in Sri Lanka is to kick-off the season or
rather the stress off corporates, with its program titled `Yoga on the hot
seat. Stress-relief in your office chair` ! A unique program and health
awareness campaign designed to put yoga onto the desktop and ease the
hurly-burly life of executives, managers and entrepreneurs.

"When you put yoga and meditation upfront on the `desktop` you commit to
practice it and take the responsibility to be dynamic yet relaxed in your
challenging workplace" says Vidyut Udiaver a yoga teacher with the Art of
Living Foundation Sri Lanka.

Founded on the key insight that the principles of yoga are applied and
experienced best in times of challenges and conflict. The `Yoga on the hot
seat` program is to be launched in Colombo, right in the workplace where
professionals experience competition, deadlines, peer-pressure and tough
appraisals. The management and staff of various companies in Colombo, Kandy
and other cities are to experience a whole new dimension in their workplace.

The `Yoga on the hot seat` program is a curtain-raiser to the upcoming Year
of Yoga Worldwide declared by the Art of Living Foundation Sri Lanka and
scheduled to commence in the winter of 2011.

Subject: Wisdom from Sri Sri Ravi Shanker - Ego is getting stuck with any
one identity

1 May 2010
Canadian Ashram

Q: What are your thoughts on the 'Modern theory of evolution'? If it is
true, then at what stage do souls come? What happened to souls before that?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Modern theories are evolving. They think that things
have to begin somewhere. I would call it as linear understanding. But there
is a spherical thinking, that is lacking here. In the Orient, there is
sperical thinking. In the Occident, there is only linear thinking. According
to that , everybody had to be born, there had to be one Adam and Eve, and
all are their children. That means everybody is sibling of each other. Then
how could one be married to anybody? This is what is called the original
sin. Because that way marriage itself is a sin. If God could create one Adam
and one Eve, then why couldn't he create ten such. And then why would God
create such an apple, fruit of wisdom, if He was to ask them not to eat
that? These things need to be understood. Our understanding is very limited.
We need to think spherical. In spherical thinking, there was not only one
being who was created in the beginning, but everything simultaneously came
into existence. The whole world came into existence simultaneously. What
would you say if I ask you about the beginning point of a tennis ball? Every
point in the tennis ball is the first point, and the last point as well.
Ancient people had this spherical thinking, and that is why they said, "The
world is Anadi and Anant(Beginingless and endless )". The souls are
beginingless and endless. And the cause of the existence of the universe,
that is the divinity, is beginingless and endless. All three are one. This
is the theory of Advaita that everything is made up of one. This is the
theory of relativity. This is what the String theory and the modern
scientists say. Einstein was startled when he read Bhagwad Geeta.
All is made up of the same consciousness. In animal cookies, all animals
like elephants, giraffes, Zebra, Cat are made up of the same size. Children
think that they are eating different animals but the maker knows that all is
made up of the same. Objects in the universe, living or non - living, moving
or non - moving, are made up of the same. This is what is said in scriptures
like Upanishads and 'Guru Granth Sahib'(Sikh holi scripture). Sikhism has
one of the best greetings in the world - Satsriakal. Sat is truth, Sri is
wealth, and Akal is beyond time. So when you greet saying Satsriakal, it
means, 'May you understand the true wealth, the timeless spirit that you
are. Everyday you greet each other and remind that you are the timeless
eternity, infinity and true wealth. What are you looking for here and there?
Isn't that great?

Q: If everything is changing and transient, then what is the point in doing
anything?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: What is the point in asking this question? What is the
point of understanding? You do because you can't but do something in this
world. So, even that is the part of the change. 'Everything is changing' -
this is for an understanding. You have to keep doing, and if you do things
that brings you peace, and which will take you towards evolution, it is like
swimming along the current. And if you do something against the evolution,
it is like swimming against the current.

Q: What can I do to come out of the guilt and self judgement? I feel so bad
when I do things even though I know in my heart that what I have done is the
best for me?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: More advance courses.

Q: I don't know what the aim of my life is? I lost my parents long ago, and
I see them in dreams everyday. Sometimes I see you. What does that mean?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: That is ok. Dream is another dimension where all these
things exist, all the experiences come. So, when you wake up, be fully in
the waking state.

Q: How does the end of this pencil erases? (Laughter from audience)

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: That is what every pencil is supposed to do. Life is
that way. If every pencil i.e. every human being can erase whatever the mind
writes, you become hollow and empty. If you can erase everything -
Right-Wrong, good-bad, you become hollow and empty.

Q: I am going through a hard time in life. My wife cheated on me but now
wants to be back. What to do? I don't have much trust anymore, but I find it
hard to breakup. I am confused and worried about the future. Can the love
develop again?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Ya, certainly. Have a broad mindset. Suppose you were
in that state. You made a mistake and you repented it, and you want your
wife to forgive you. How would you feel if she doesn't and hold on to it.
How would you feel? Same way a mistake has happened through her. Some
mistakes happen through you and some through her. Forget about it. Live in
the present moment. Give her a chance. Move on to the future. But if it
keeps happening too many times, then you can take a decision. If it is once
or twice, you should give her a fair chance. If it happens more than three
times, then you put your foot. I have no experience in this field. I can't
give any better advice on this. So, this could be a suggestion. I don't know
in what way has she cheated you, but it may not be so intentional. Our 'Art
of Living's' policy is not to see intention behind others' mistakes. Once,
twice, thrice as much as your capacity is there, you keep forgiving. But
then when it comes upto your neck, you say, "No more".
There was a king who was all the time hurling abuses at Lord Krishna, when
Lord Krishna was here on the planet. This Jarasandha was insulting him, and
spreading wrong rumours about him. Lord Krishna forgave him not once, twice
but 100 times. His patience was 100 times. But then Lord Krishna said, "I
have forgiven you 100 times. I am not going to stop now. I want to finish
off you now. I have given you enough room, you didn't change. The only way
is you to be punished". So, it depends upon our capabilities. Jesus also
said to forgive. See how much patience you have. How much can you take to
forgive? Not just your wife but everybody for that matter.

Q: Can you please describe me what ego is? How can one resolve ego? How do
ego and love go together, or don't they?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Ego is a sense of seperateness, a sense of identity.
There are three ways to see ego.

1. Ego is identity. I am this. This is one ego.

2. Ego is also I am not this.

3. Ego is also I am seperate from others.

How to dissolve this ego?

Either you expand your ego. I am this, I am that, I am that too. For
instance, one ego is that you think you are an officer. But if you are stuck
with only being an officer, and you come home and be officer to your kids
and wife, you create a problem. Suppose you are a major or colonel in the
military, and if you behave with your family in the same role, then you are
stuck in your ego of being an army officer. Your one identity is that you
are a colonel, but you are a father/mother with your children, you are a
husband/wife with your spouse, you are a son/daughter with your parents and
so many. When you balance all these identities in your life giving equal
importance to all these, that is the way you dissolve your ego. Ego is
getting stuck with any one identity. From that limited identity to identify
with the unlimited divinity is the path of expanding, or you can call it
dissolving identity. So you move from me to Aham Brahaman, I am somebody to
becoming I am nobody, and I am nobody to I am everybody. Now this looks very
philosophical. You can't go to your office and say that you are nobody, nor
can you say at your home that you are everybody. It is not going to work.
So, I would say that the simple way to counter your ego is to be natural.
Ego makes you feel uncomfortable, unnatural and seperate. Egolessness,or
expanded ego or transformed ego is being at home, being natural with
everyone in every circumstances. Rather, it is being like a child. I would
say just be like a child.

One last thing I would like to say about ego is that if you find you have
any ego, then don't try to dissolve it. You can keep it in your pocket.
Don't meddle with it, and don't bother about it. Let it be there. Ok?

Q: How can I safely detoxify my body?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Pranayama, proper diet, raw food, juice, vegetables,
and relaxation.

Q: Which decisions are to be taken from heart, and which are to be taken
from head?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: When you are to do business, you do it with your head.
When you are to do service, you do it from your heart.

More from the same knowledge session will be included in the next post.

"That which you cannot express is Love.

That which you cannot reject/renounce is Beauty.

Taiwan is proud to be hosting a new course "Sri Sri Yoga Part 2" to be
taught by Krishanji, Guruji's top teacher of Sri Sri Yoga.

This course brings a new dimension to the experience of yoga. There will be
new knowledge and techniques offered on this international

course which will add new energy to the body and depth of understanding of
the Self.

A notable feature of this course is Subtle Strengthening and Healing
Contractions (SSaH C) : a new, unique, gentle and meditative

exercise program for Strengthening and toning muscles, restoring the
balance and harmony at physical and pranic levels, decreasing

chronic pains, and above all for giving you a meditative experience of
yourself. This SSaH C technique was said to awaken the inner

confidence and valor in you. People who had the opportunity to be the first
ones to experience SSaH C at Gujarat ashram could not

believe the wholesome transformation they experienced.

This November course in Taiwan can take a maximum number of 200 people only.
Since this will be the few pioneering courses taught

by Krishanji himself, we would like to invite all interested ones to grasp
this rare opportunity. It will also give you a chance to enjoy the

beauty of Taiwan .

Prerequites to apply: Sri Sri Yoga Part 1 and either the Art of Living Part
I Course or the YES!+ Course

Some Experiences Sharing:

"This is the best course i have taken since i did my first course at the Art
of Living, and i have taken many. Krishanji is, without any doubt, a direct
channel from the Master. His knowledge of Yoga and the way he transmits it
leaves all of us, speechless. I've reached places inside myself that i never
thought they even existed. He does hard things easy and the impossible,
super accessible to anyone. My body is changed and my mind is alert. My
connection with the Guru is more intense than ever before." Sergio Jolivet,
49, Art of Living Instructor.

SSY2 is another limb of Art of Living. It is another blessing from Guruji to
the mankind. This course is a practical approach to be a Yogi and shows new
dimension to the definition of YOGA. I went into complete inner silence
automatically after 2nd day of the course. SSY2 is complimentary to the
Part-II course. Guruji had shown His Excellency by coming in the form of
Krishanji..EVERY aol teacher should under go this course and this must be a
qualification to become an AOL teacher. These are the highlights of the
course and the list will be endless as I reallycan not put my experience in
writing except feeling the Heartfilled GRATITUDEOm Sri Gurucharana
Kamalebhyonamaha!!! -Suresh, Guntur , AP

Never had such an amazing experience which was maintained for seven whole
days. SILENCE IN ACTIVITY AND ACTIVITY IN SILENCE. - Preeti Lalwani, Surat
