Subject: Love & Freedom - Part-2 courses in Mumbai


Jai Gurudev Dear Ones!

If you are seeking liberation, it cannot happen by rejection. If you want
some person to get off your mind, it cannot happen by hatred, it cannot
happen by running away but only by being deeply in love. So, when love is
matured, it is liberating, it frees you. When your love becomes
unconditional then lso it brings freedom. It doesn't bind you, it makes you
feel free.
----- Sri Sri

Subject: The MAN, The MACHINE, and The PHENOMENON!!!

Do you want to be a Master of your situation? Do you want to achieve your ultimate dream? Do you want to operate at 100% at all the time? Do you want to realize your potential? Do you Ladies and Gentlemen want to be ROCK SOLID?

The answer is Anandji – The MAN, The MACHINE, and The PHENOMENON.
Exuberance is in his name, a state of elated bliss. This man has undying energy; he is full of enthusiasm, killer techniques filled with animated actions. He moves mountains and has conquered hearts of many with his dynamic style.

I have seen many motivational speakers over the years, but not a style as unique as his. The enthusiasm, actions and feelings are so powerful that you actually visualize the picture right in front of your eyes. From making you move your hands to facially expressing your feelings he makes sure that the key point becomes your belief. And, he makes you repeat it with just as much enthusiasm until it is thoroughly imbibed in your system. Better believe it, if you get woken up in the middle of the night you might be found quoting punch lines from his talk.
You cry, you laugh, you shout, you scream, you jump, and you dance in his course called Divya Samaj Ka Nirman. Generally called DSN, eloquently referred by him as "Don't Say No".

Through Sadhana (the practice), Seva (service), Satsang (chanting, singing and knowledge), Silence, Swadhyay and Satguru this program offers us the opportunity to dive deep into genuine relaxation and emerge refreshed, revitalized and invigorated!

Subject: giving in 2012...tithing...and creating a stress free violence free
society

Dear Friends,

As the year wraps up, I am remembering how the notion of tithing has come up
several times when we have discussed moving our programs forward to reach
more and more people. While outreach and program development are a huge part
of expanding our impact, seeding our programs each year with donations can
change the game in terms of how our leaders plan investments for the coming
year. Imagine the changes we might make for Project Welcome Home Troops, for
example, if all of a sudden the balance of funds were to double. I don't
think it would be very hard for us to double the budgets that our projects
are working with...if we each consider increasing our giving to a full 10%
of our income, and not just this one time, but on an annual basis. I'm sure
many of us are already doing this...not to mention all the other ways that
we all give, but I still thought it is worth sharing this with you.

As I have shared previously, making this commitment on an ongoing basis
creates a shift in how we think about giving. Instead of thinking "how much
should I give"..."will it be used effectively"..."why aren't others giving
more"...it becomes a simple and joyous process of allocating a set amount of
money across the projects we are most inspired by. Let's say we make $50,000
in the year...then we know we have $5,000 to give. After adding up all the
other donations made during the year till now...perhaps there is still a
ways to go to reach that $5,000. Whatever this amount is - just being
committed to that...without attachment or doership, but from a pure space of
giving, abundance, and gratitude.

In terms of impact...let's imagine there are just 1,000 of us in the US that
have an average income of $100,000 (some may make $30,000...some may make
$300,000) and we all commit to giving 10% each year. That would mean
$10,000,000 per year flooding into the various projects we run without
overburdening anybody. Think of all the work that goes into just one of our
large events where we might raise $1,000,000 - this is 10x that amount on an
annual basis without any incremental work! With these funds, we could open
10x new centers, hire 10x more full time staff/teachers, spend 10x more on
outreach, teach 10x more high school students, or increase spend in any
other way that will help our programs reach more people. Also, now, instead
of us thinking that we are asked so many times to donate (I hear this
sometimes) - we think how we are given so many options with which to
allocate our 10% during each year. We already know we will give 10%.

Jameelah and I have enjoyed this shift in giving, and we just wrapped up our
giving for 2012 in support of some programs that we see are really active
and making an impact. In these times, it is even more important that we
commit to expanding our programs through all the means at our disposal -
including giving.

We wish you all the best this holiday and for the New Year!

Love
Jai Gurudev

Creating a Stress Free Violence Free Society

Starting with the Self
Moving to the Society
From Darkness to Light
From Fear to Love

Parks and places of nature will be places full of joy and enthusiasm

Pop figures and role models of all ages will inspire all those who admire
them to love and work together

Youth will bring each other up in life instead of pushing each other down to
get ahead

Movies, video games, and online content will display a beautiful world that
blends science and spirituality in a perfect balance...not shying away from
challenges in the world but addressing them through love and true knowledge

All this will happen only through love and commitment...not through any
dictatorship or heavy handedness

Schools of all ages will provide training in Art of Living skills and
knowledge...yoga, pranayama, sudarshan kriya, and meditation

Human values education will be at the core of every curriculum so that youth
around the world can experience the Oneness of society

On every corner and in every school there will be fresh vegetarian snacks
and meals...full of prana to support life and the planet

Youth will be fit physically, mentally, and spiritually...

Teachers, administrators, government, & parents will work seamlessly to
support the well rounded growth of our youth

There will be no more guns
There will be no more violence
There will be no more rapes
There will be no more home abuse
There will be no more drugs

There will be love and commitment
There will be peace and joy
There will be strength and beauty

Subject: Guruji could you speak about Love? - Part-2 courses in Mumbai


Love is that which cannot be defined. We cannot understand that. It can only
be felt. It is not possible that a person does not know about love. It is
love that gets distorted into anger and anxiety.

Love is the mother of all negative emotions. All those who lose their temper
are perfectionists. Jealousy is because of love. You love somebody so
jealousy arises. When you love objects more than people that is greed. When
you love yourself too much, that is arrogance. Arrogance is to love oneself
in a distorted manner. Not a single object on this planet wants to be away
from love. Yet we don't want any pain or suffering that comes along with
love. This can be achieved through cleansing and uplifting our spirit, wich
is possible only through spirituality.

One of the projects run by Art of Living is providing good quality education
to transform tribes. Sri Sri Vidya Mandir (School project in Ghatshila) is
growing leaps and bounds and as many as 3,000 children are benefited by way
of free education and allied factors.
About 23 students & 5 staff members of this school would be visiting Pune
from 13th-17th January 2013.
These children have prepared enthusiastically to present their skills here.
All are requested to encourage them by organizing get together
evenings,whole heartedly.

After all, these dear children of Guruji are coming here all the way from
1800 KM, travelling for 32 hours and they are leaving their home for the
first time. Isn't it appropriate for us to give them a warm welcome?

Subject: New Year's Special Intensive Art of Silence Course - Washington DC
Dec 29th- Jan 1st


Life is precious and every moment is to be grateful for! We go through this
wonderful movie of life with the mind as our film. Impressions are made
every day on this film, some pleasant, some not so pleasant and we project
the same along with our experiences on our surroundings, our loved ones and
people around us. So as we project and capture more impressions, what is the
real story that we want our life to be, what is that beautiful song we have
been meaning to sing, what is that tune we sometimes get a note and then
loose it and wonder where it all went? Wouldn't it be wonderful to get rid
of these impressions and start with a clean slate and get that clarity of
what we really want, get to know what really brings joy and happiness to us?
Deep silence erases these impressions bringing about clarity in thoughts,
heightened awareness, sharpened intellect and increased intuition. The
intensive Art of Silence course is a unique experience to dive deeper into
silence through meditation and come out shining like a diamond allowing you
to experience how wonderful and precious every moment of this life is!

Set amidst five hills, a beautiful lake, lush surroundings and sprawling
grounds, the venue is the organization's international ashram in Bangalore.
And what lends this much needed break its blissful touch is the presence of
His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji throughout the event.

Colours of Joy brings together a unique bouquet of courses specially
designed for children. ART EXCEL (All Round Training in Excellence) course
channelizes a child's brimming energy through various meditative techniques
and interactive sessions leading to improved health, memory and
concentration. Not only does it provide an outlet for their creativity but
also stirs in a sense of belongingness, compassion and friendliness towards
all. Made especially for children between the ages 8 and 13, the course
helps build confidence and rid oneself of daily stresses. Something all
children today seem to need.

Youth Empowerment Seminar (YES!) is a course tailored to address the needs
of children aged 14 to 18 years. The workshop equips the participants with
powerful processes that help channelize young energy and improve focus.
Special breathing techniques like the Sudarshan Kriya help cleanse their
mind and body of toxins, stresses, negative emotions and various mental
barriers.

For those who've already undergone the YES! Program, there's the YES!2
course- a dynamic, vibrant workshop that takes the sense of responsibility,
understanding , confidence and self belief in young minds to altogether new
heights. It introduces the participants to the concept of silence through
which they are able to experience the calmness of the self. If that's not
all, there's also a Sahaj Samadhi course for graduates of the YES!2
programme. Conducted by Mrs. Bhanumathi Narasimhan- Director of Art of
Living's Women and Child Welfare Programmes, the course will help the
participants experience the bliss of deep, undisturbed meditations.

Colours of Joy isn't just about day long courses though. The children will
be treated to special sessions on chanting, the Subhashitas, Gita, stories
from the Puranas, ashram tours, talks on organic farming, a trip to the
goshala, an interesting discourse on the glory of India and of course
sessions with His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji.

Scheduled to take place from Dec 22 to Dec 25 2012, it is a true vacation in
every way, both for children and parents. Register for the event on

Subject: Tenali Rama and Secrets of Happiness

Meditation gives you the ability to see things the way they are

Tenali Ramakrishna, fondly remembered as Tenali Rama, was a 16th-century
court poet at the Vijayanagara Empire in India. He hailed from a town called
Tenali. He is remembered even today for his extraordinary wit, brilliance
and wisdom.

What is it that we want in life? We may have a long list ready - ranging
from scoring 100% in the maths exam to learning bungee jumping to getting
our daughter married. However, the ultimate goal of each activity is to
bring happiness. How do we live life happily rather than live life seeking
happiness?

#1: Be Happy, NOW!

Enjoying the gentle sea breeze, lying on a hammock, Tenali Rama's friend
wore a dreamy broad smile on his face.
Tenali : "Why are you smiling all by yourself?"
Friend : "I'm thinking of the day when I will be truly happy".
Tenali : When is that?
Friend : When I can have a house of my own by the sea, a comfortable car, a
healthy bank balance, get married to a pretty girl, have four sons, get them
educated so that they get a good job, earn a lot of money, and… Tenali
(Interrupting) : I get the picture, but what will you do after all that?
Friend : Then I can simply put up my feet and relax and enjoy the gentle
breeze and the sun on my face.
Tenali : But my friend, you are doing that now itself - without having to do
all that hard work!

Have you seen how we normally keep postponing our happiness? For instance,
if you are in school, you think: 'Once I am done with school, I'll be
happy!" Then, it's college, job, and the list goes on. You fulfill one
desire, there is a temporary sense of happiness and even before you know it,
you start looking for happiness in something else - 'If only I find my
ideal life partner, I'll be happy', and then 'If I get promoted, I'll be
happy', and this chain continues.

Happiness is nowhere in the future! Think about it - can you be happy
yesterday or tomorrow? You can only plan for it but you can be happy NOW,
isn't it? How can we be happy and do everything in life rather than do
everything one after the other just to find happiness? Meditation is your
answer. Meditation brings your mind to the present moment where true
happiness lies and gives you the strength to smile every moment.

#2: Be content with what you have

Once Tenali Rama saw a man on the road holding a big round shield over his
head in the direction of the sun. Curious to know what the man was trying to
do, Tenali Rama went up to him and enquired.

Tenali : What are you doing?
Man : I am trying to hide the sun. It is too bright.
Tenali : My friend, why are you troubling yourself so much? I have a simpler
solution to your problem."
Saying this, Tenali Rama picked up a grain of sand in his hand and blew it
into the man's eyes.

Have you seen how you are always running behind desires, hoping that their
fulfilment will bring you happiness? And in this chase, you are unable to
enjoy what you already have. These desires are like the sand particles in
the eye which do not let you perceive the beauty of what you have.

Meditation frees us from this feverishness and washes away these dust
particles. It gives us inner freedom and contentment.

#3: Improve Observation, Perception and Expression with Meditation

Tenali Rama and his wife are deciding on what color to paint their house.

Wife : I want pink!
Tenali : Are you serious? We better leave it white and bright!
Wife : I have made up my mind. I will be happy only with pink.
Tenali (giving her a pair of pink-colored glasses) : Fine. Have it your way.
Wear these glasses and not just these walls, even I will be pink!

What was Tenali Rama thinking? Wearing pink glasses does not make the house
pink.

Stress colors our perception of reality. As a result, we don't see things
the way they are. This often results in misunderstandings and gives rise to
further stress. How does one escape this vicious cycle?

Meditation gives you clarity and the ability to see things the way they are.
Observation, perception and expression, all three improve with meditation.

With fewer misunderstandings and communication gaps, staying happy becomes
easier.

#4: Save your mind at any cost

Tenali Rama and his wife were going to a friend's wedding. His wife wore
her best sari and jewels.
Suddenly from behind, a bullock cart, totally out of control, came rushing
by. Tenali quickly pulls his wife towards himself in an effort to bring her
to safety, loses balance and both of them fall into a pit along the road.

Wife (upset): What do you think you were doing? You spoilt my beautiful
dress! I can't go to the wedding like this now!
Tenali : Well, it's time to buy a new dress then (as he smiles to himself
thanking God that she is safe)!

Have you ever been in situations when you have tried to do good but ended up
doing something unpleasant? Have you noticed that during such times, you end
up feeling bad and blaming yourself? This is because the awareness that at
least your intention was good is not always there. Actions are never perfect
but intentions can be pure. Through meditation, we are able to cognize the
intention and accept the imperfection in the action. This saves our mind and
allows us to be happy, come what may.

" More support to your Hometown " campaign to be launched by Art of Living
Sri Lanka

The hometown or birth place is a much-cherished land that holds a special
significance in everyone`s heart. Be it the outbacks of Australia, a
picturesque village in Sri Lanka, a growing district in India or a pretty
town in Europe. No one can snatch away that love you have for your
birthplace. And no one can stop you from doing something more for your very
own people in your hometown.

It is this very insight that has contributed to the launch of a new public
awareness and societal development campaign by the Art of Living Foundation
in Sri Lanka. The "More support to your Hometown" campaign initiative is
designed to urge people to do much more to bring peace of mind, better
health and development in their birthplace or hometown for the year 2013.
And the Art of Living Foundation with its worldwide network of volunteers
and teachers will help implement your charitable intentions no matter how
far you are currently staying away from your hometown.

One of the major life-supporting programs available in this social service
initiative includes the support and sponsorship of people in your hometown
to benefit from a variety of Art of Living programs. Individuals, families
or organizations would also have the choice of sponsoring specific
individuals or any unspecified individuals at your birthplace as an
unconditional act of charity. Opportunities are also available to sponsor
the trained Art of Living teachers who deliver the life-supporting Art of
Living programs in the realm of trauma and stress relief.

This initiative is also a unique opportunity for those who wish to initiate
and help to fund a charitable service project for the development of their
very own hometown.

The "More support to your Hometown" campaign marks a new beginning for
2013. Make this your new New Year resolution and write to us at
slartofliving@gmail.com because it is all about your hometown, its people,
growth and development !

"The true measure of success is a happy, healthy, well-adjusted child that
is able to deal effectively with life's challenges." - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Need of the Hour

India has had a rich heritage. the traditions and values were passed down
the generations through the elders especially in a joint family system where
children had the opportunity to imbibe sanskars from their grandparents.
Today we live in nuclear families. Often both parents are working. The
children spend a lot of time in front of TV, and in the absence of any
credible alternative,emulate what they see. Children and youth today need
value-based leadership. For a nation to develop, economic growth must be
supported by a strong foundation of values.

Bridging the Gap


The Sanskrit word " Sanskar" has many meanings, values, purification,
embellishment, refinement, accomplishment, advise, education etc.. It is
easy to see that sanskars transform children in many ways. By removal of
unwanted things or defects, by nurturing of nascent qualities and by doing
value addition. As in the case of wheat, all these would mean removal of
husk and pebbles, nurturing of nascent qualities through grinding, kneading
and cooking and value addition by adding ghee, sugar and salt. Is it not
just wonderful?.


While schools impart education, children imbibe values from the family and
society. In today's urbanised settings, Sri Sri Sanskar Kendras bridge this
gap.


Sri Sri Sanskar Kendras

Understanding this need, Art of Living has opened centres of learning for
children, called Sri Sri Sanskar Kendra. Once a week, trained senior
citizens with a passion for making a difference, spend an hour and a half
with the children, to inculcate in them the values of caring, sharing,
respect, love and compassion. The sessions follow the guidelines.

• The elders share anecdotes and stories of their lives, which provide
children with an insight into life. It also serves as a step to bridge the
growing gap between elders and the new generation.
• Shlokas or dohas are also discussed. as we know very deep stories and
meanings are hidden behind these simple verses.
• Life stories of freedom fighters, saints and great men are shared for
providing inspiration.
•To exercise the body and improve mind-body co-ordination some yoga, easy
pranayam and old games are being taught.
• Many customs that have become perfunctory in our daily lives have
scientific explanations. In each session, they are left in a wonder with
wonderful explanations. e.g, why do we plant tulsi in the backyard or at the
entrance.
• Children are asked to find solutions to the problems presented thus
enhancing their logic skills.
•Every session includes a Dadi Maa ka Nuska where simple Ayurvedic remedies
and treatments are suggested for common ailments.


As a parent one can ensure that his/her child is getting the right inputs to
make him or her a fine person, who will be happy, who can spread happiness
and be successful.
