such moments of joy and ecstasy one need to be in HIS presence at every
possible opportunity.

Subject: Sahaj Samadhi Meditation Course.
"Meditation is deep relaxation. A mind without agitation is meditation. A
mind in the present moment is meditation. Concentration, sharp memory,
increased intelligence, alertness, sensitivity, calmness, and peace are all
results of meditation." - Bhanumati Narasimhan, Art of Meditation teacher.
Our minds are often busy swinging between thoughts about the past and
thoughts about the future. This distraction prevents us from fully
experiencing and enjoying what is right in front of us. The constant
activity eats into our energy and can cause us mental, emotional, and
physical stress. The subtle art of meditation takes us beyond our minds'
usual habits and into a state of relaxed alertness.
The Art of Meditation Course provides:
A solid foundation on the science and principles of meditation Instruction
in Sahaj Samadhi, an effortless mantra meditation technique Instructions and
recommendations for practicing meditation at home

Subject: YES for Schools video from Houston Texas
Last year, we had the YES for schools program at the William A. Lawson
Institute for Peace and Prosperity - WALIPP - in Houston.
Both teachers and students went for empowerment seminars, diving into the
divine knowledge and techniques given to us.
The program was a success and we are looking forward to spread this success
all around the world, taking the YES program to as much schools as we can.
I encourage you to share this video to as much people as you can, specially
those involved in the learning environment.
Spread the knowledge, schedule meetings make a course like this happen
nearby where you are.
Love

Subject: Living in the present moment
The higher state of consciousness is somewhere in between the waking,
sleeping and dreaming states. Here, we know we "are" but we don't know
"where" we are. This knowledge that I "am," but I don't know "where" I am or
"what" I am, is called Shiva. This state gives the deepest possible rest
that one can experience. And one can achieve this through meditation.

Subject: Knowledge from Sri Sri... Deep meditation is like being nothing and
being nobody
Deep meditation is like being nothing and being nobody
February 06, 2012
(Below is the transcript of Satsang with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar)
Q: As a mother, how can I make my children more creative and less of
information junkies?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: More human interaction. Allow the children to play
with more kids. Get them to do some service activities. Make them do some
work and make them mix with people of all socio-economic strata.
Q: Guruji, I am a young girl and a student. When I ask my parents, what
should be my dharma, they say studies. Isn't playing part of my dharma?
Please guide.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Yes! Study while you study and play while you play.
Q: Guruji, if I do your work, can I get some discount on my bad karma and
bonus on my good karma?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Definitely!
Q: Guruji, you always say that when we are close to the divine, our desires
get fulfilled. It is so true, but desires of people who are not spiritually
inclined to God are also fulfilled without any struggle. Then what is the
difference?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: You should ask them how they feel.
You know when you are awake, when you are spiritually inclined then you are
able to enjoy that more. You turn back and see in your own life, before you
did any meditation, you also had your desires fulfilled but that was not the
same. Isn't it?
You enjoyed, you went on a trip, and you watched the nature. But now after
your meditation, after your entry into the spiritual knowledge, there is a
significant difference.
Q: Guruji, I would like to know what is Shivaloka, Brahmaloka and
Vishnuloka? What makes them different from each other?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: There are many worlds and many dimensions of time. And
so it is said, one human year is one day in Pitraloka. What is one year for
us, of that, six months form a day and six months form a night in another
dimension.
If you are a student of astronomy, you will be fascinated to know that there
are different time dimensions, it is very interesting. You should study more
of astronomy - both classical astronomy and modern astronomy. Then you will
get a lot of information about time and different dimensions of existence.
See for example, the light of the star you see today is not coming today. It
is from four years back. That light has started four years ago and today you
see the star. You are seeing the star today but it may not be there today.
It is a four years back picture that you are seeing.
Have you heard about this?!
Q: Guruji, how to live in this so called professional world? I find myself
lonely and secluded when I feel people are friendly only when they need me.
Today professionalism means no love and no true smile. What to do?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: At least you give them. If they don't have, you have
it. So you can shine there like the moon.
Q: I cannot know life without death. Guruji please tell me how to know death
while I am still alive.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Meditation. Deep meditation is like being nothing and
being nobody.
Q: It has been said that this world is not real but an illusion of the mind.
With this perspective, how do we view Lord Krishna and his teachings in the
Bhagavad Gita? Were they also an illusion?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Is this question real or an illusion, first tell me?
If the question is real, answer will be real. If the question is an illusion
then everything is an illusion. Your spirit of enquiry is also an illusion,
then why should an answer be given for it. Got it?
There are two dimensions. I keep saying all the time. One is the quantum
dimension.
In atomic level, everything is the same. In the quantum mechanics,
everything are just atoms, the floor, the chair, the door, the window - it
is all made up of just one matter, one substance. And on the classical
level, these are all different. The chair is different from the door. You
cannot go and sit on the door or use the chair for the door. So they are all
different.
In chemistry, the periodic table is there which speaks of the different
elements. Then there is quantum physics, which speak of all being just a
wave function. So both are essential and both are true. Got it?
This is Dvaita and that is Advaita, and Bhagavad Gita connects to both. It
takes you to Advaita and connects you to Dvaita - the duality as well as
makes you understand the ultimate. Both!
