John Osborne, one of the senior most teachers in the USA, after conducting a blissful Intensive Art of Silence course at the San Francisco Bay Area has agreed to come back and offer the Blessings Course between Nov 1-4, 2012 at the Santa Clara Art of Living Center.

At the Intensive course, the participants got to experience the secret magic channel of Guru's grace from John, which he is himself! I thought of sending this exciting news to this group, if in case you wanted to come to him to tap into a piece of his secret channel! All participants attending the Blessings course from outside of the town will have arranged housing at the volunteers. If you are already a Blesser, do not miss this opportunity to let someone else experience it by getting them towards their registration.

The Blessing Course

"Life has been a blessing form me every step of the way, especially after coming to Art of Living.
Every time I was faced with difficulties, challenges, I felt Guru Ji's hand guiding me each step of the way.

When I took the blessings course, however, for the first time I experienced abundance in my life:
how much I had been given that I was not even aware of! The 4 days of being at the Ashram in the stillness of December snow and tranquillity brought a peace so deep within me that can only be experienced when you are truly showered with Grace of The Master!!
As I sat in the meditation hall in Isha I was overwhelmed with the blessings of so many who have come there and experienced that same solace and comfort that I was experiencing in that moment. Every pillar, every corner was filled with gratitude, compassion and caring..
For me it was not so much that I could bless others, but that I had been blessed to receive the priceless gift of Gratitude and Contentment!!
Now we hope to share that gift with you!

Come to the Ashram November 8-11 and be showered with GRACE and BlLESSINGS!
Come witness the wonder of your ow spiritual journey!"
JGD,
Bharti

This course will be offered by Pierre Laflamme and Bharti Verma.

Subject: Navratri Celebrations in Mumbai, the Vedic way!!!


'Nava' means 'nine' and 'Ratri' is made up of 'Ra' which means 'night' and
'Tri' meaning 'the three aspects of our life: Body, Mind and Soul'

'Navratri' means giving rest to all the three aspects of our life, for nine
days.

Navratri, the Art of Living way, is truly a divine experience. Each day has
a series of pujas, yagnas and homas, duly performed as per our vedic
tradition by the Pandits and Veda-Agama Boys from the Ashram. The occasion
is graced by a Swamiji. The mantra chanting and vibrations of these pujas
and homas take us to a deep meditative state. Evenings are filled with
mesmerising devotional singing. Joy, bliss, peace and happiness are no more
just words, you experience them here!

16th October 2012 to 23rd October 2012
Venue: Sambhaji Park, Near Eastern Express Highway, Mulund-East, Mumbai

Daily Lalitha Sahasranama Chanting
Lalitha Sahasranama is a sacred Hindu text for the worshippers of the
Goddess Lalita Devi, i.e. the Divine Mother.
Lalita is the Goddess of bliss, an epithet for Parvati.
Lalita Sahasranam is one of the most complete stotras, and one need only
recite it to gain total salvation.


Daily Satsang: 7:30-9:30 pm
Satsang- the company of the truth, where you can drop what people think
about you and be authentic.
There are 2 sides of the brain- left side for logic, right for music;
that's why it is called satsang- discussion on one side, singing on the
other.
It brings balance, energises the body and the mind.


20 October 2012, 8:30 am-12 noon (Saturday) Shri Maha Ganapati Homam The
rituals begin with an offering to Ganesha, the bestower of Knowledge,
Wealth, Progeny and Salvation.
Ganpati Homa is symbolic of removing the obstacles before initiating any new
venture.

Shri Navgraha Homam
This is followed by Navgraha Homa, performed to propitiate Nine Planets,
which influence various spheres of our lives.
Navgraha Homa enhances the positive effects of one's planetary position.

20 October 2012, 5:00 pm-6:00 pm (Saturday) Shri Vastu Shanti Homam
Surroundings and directions have a specific impact on our day to day
activities.
Vaastu Shanti Homa is performed to remove the irregularities or doshas in
the construction of home, factory etc. and nullifies the negative impact of
surroundings.


21 October 2012, 7am-10am (Sunday)
Shri Maha Rudra Homam
Rudra Homa is used to pacify and propitiate the nine planets, in order to
increase their positive influence and neutralize the negative influence.
Rudra Homa helps to transform a tough situation that is hindering our
growth.

21 October 2012, 5pm-7pm (Sunday)
Shri Maha Sudarshana Homam
Sudarshan Homa signifies the removal of ignorance & illumination of a new
life enriched with knowledge.
Offered to Lord Sudarshana/Narayana, Sudarshan signifies the discus, the
infallible weapon of Narayan.
The Home is performed to subside the negative influences affecting one's
life.


22 October 2012, 7am-12 noon (Monday)
Shri Nava Chandi Homam
The eight day marks the pinnacle of all homas.
The Chandi Homa is performed to remove any obstacles in growth and
eradicates suffering caused by hostile elements.

mankind.

The course days are filled with Guru Stories, ancient knowledge and an overwhelming presence of the Master.

The Guru Puja Course is of two parts

Subject: Significance of Pilgrimage


Significance of Pilgrimage

Q: Dear Gurudev, how and when did the twelve Jyotirlingas (literally meaning 'pillar of light', a sacred divine shrine of Lord Shiva) come into existence? Please shed some light on this.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: See, every Jyotirlingam has a different story behind how it came to be. There is a Sthala Purana (local folklore or legends) attached to each. For example, Lord Rama went to Rameshwaram and established the Jyotirlingam there by worshipping Lord Shiva.

The aim was to unite all the people of India by one single thread of devotion.
Different people in India speak different languages. In Kashi (now Varanasi) there is a different language, in Rameshwaram there is a different language.
In ancient times, people were told to visit Rameshwaram, and then from there they were told to go on a pilgrimage to Kashi and bathe in the holy Ganges.
After that they were told to bring back with them the holy water of the Ganges from Kashi to Rameshwaram and offer it to the Jyotirlingam there. And after that, they were told to take the offering back to the Kashi Vishwanath temple.
The intention behind doing this in the olden times was to bring a sense of national unity (by visiting these holy shrines situated in different parts of the country).
It is not that Lord Shiva requires your offering of holy water. What would Lord Shiva do with it? All the water in creation belongs to Him.
Taking holy water of the Ganges from Kashi to Rameshwaram has no meaning or importance to Lord Shiva. Yes, but there is a certain significance in it for the country.

When people undertake pilgrimages together to different parts to the country, they establish bonds of friendship with one another.
See, people from South India go on a pilgrimage to the Amarnath Shrine in North India. So this pilgrimage becomes a medium to connect and unite the people from Kanyakumari in the south with the people from Kashmir in the North. The pilgrimages become a medium to do this.
And whenever we do anything with a sense of sacredness and purity, our entire consciousness starts blossoming. That is why all the twelve Jyotirlingas were never kept in one place or one state. Some were in the north, some in the south, some in the west – they were distributed all over.
And in those days, all those places were very difficult places to travel to.
It used to be so difficult to reach there. One had to go through dense forests, dangerous valleys, city ruins; or on the top of high snow capped mountains, etc., to reach the shrines.
For example, Kedarnath shrine is situated deep in the Himalayan range.

In this way, by establishing Lord Shiva through His sacred shrines in different parts of the country, the holy sages and saints of those days built a unified nation.

Also, it is said, 'Tatropajagmur bhuvanam punana mahanubhava munayah sa-sisyah prayena tirthabhigamapadesaih svayam hi tirthani punanti santah'
- Shrimad Bhagavatam (Canto 1, Chapter 19, Verse 8)

This means that wherever a holy saint sits, that place itself becomes a holy place of pilgrimage. So many saints have visited these holy places, meditated there and have done Tapasya (penances), and that is how the sanctity and glory of these places has grown over time.

However, today you find that these places are unclean and mismanaged.
Nowadays, so much milk and other offerings are offered carelessly in a wasteful manner at these places, without the sense of devotion or faith.
They just rush you through the rituals and the oblations. This is not Pooja.
Worship which is done mindfully, with a sense of devotion and in a meditative state becomes Pooja in the true sense.
If you just do Pooja to fulfil your own selfish desire or appetite, or to fulfil some monetary obligation, then you are only fooling yourself. So one should not do that, you should do it with a feeling of devotion.

When the Rudram (a series of verses recited in praise of Lord Shiva) is being chanted and the Shivalingam is being bathed with water, we should simply close our eyes and sink within, into our own Self. We should go deep into meditation. Then that is meaningful.
We should experience that eternal vastness of the Shiva Tattva (Tattva means principle or element) which is manifest everywhere as the blissful Chidakasha (the Space of Supreme Consciousness).

Q: Gurudev, is it necessary to visit temples if one has a direct connection with the Guru?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Visiting temples is more of a cultural and sociological phenomenon. Of course there is a spiritual flavour to it also.
But that is not essential.
You can sit at home and feel the temple where you are.

For the sake of keeping the culture and tradition alive, and to bring a sense of sacredness to our children and our youngsters, it is good to take yatras (spiritual pilgrimages), and go to temples also, once in a while. It is not because there alone you can seek God, but to keep traditions alive.
That is why we have celebrations, and pilgrimages are kept to unite people.
So it is more for a social cause.
You can do your meditation and sing bhajans (devotional songs) at home, but when you come here, to the Ashram, and we meditate together, sing bhajans together, then there is a rise in the collective consciousness. Your collective energy rises, and it has a different flavour.

At the same time if someone asks, 'Can we not just meditate at home?' I say, definitely you can. You should sit and meditate at home as well, and sometimes you should come here as well. It is the same for temples also.

Q: Dear Gurudev, why is the path of spirituality so difficult and trying at times? Sometimes I feel life was much simpler when I was ignorant.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Spirituality is difficult? (Sri Sri smiles) Who says so? If it is difficult, how could you be smiling?

Before you were insensitive, now you have become sensitive, that is it!
When you are thick skinned, nothing matters at all. You do not feel anything. You just simply carry on with your life. But when you become sensitive; when the cloth becomes pure and white, even a small stain or dot appears big, that is all.

Spirituality is not going to bring you misery at all.
It is said, 'Heyam dukham anagatam'. It is the principle of Yoga, the goal of Yoga; the aim of Yoga is to stop the misery that is yet to come.

Q: Dear Gurudev, can you please speak about bondage? Why does the soul feel trapped, and what are the causes of bondage?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Ignorance is the cause of bondage. And why there is ignorance? There is no answer to that.
Why has the Divine first created this ignorance and then the means to get out of it? That is why it is called Leela (a game or play of the Divine).
It is like asking, 'Why do we have a football match? Why are there two courts with some coaches and some players on one side, and some on the other side, pushing the ball from this side to that side? Why do they not have their own balls and stay in their own courts?' Then there is no play!
So because of ignorance there is a play, there is the game. That is why the whole world is called the Leela of the Parampurusha (the Supreme Divinity).

Q: Gurudev, there is a saying that a seeker should not mistake understanding for realization, and realization for liberation. Can you please explain this?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Who said this? I do not have the habit of commenting on someone else's sayings.
Understanding is intellectual. Experience is subtler than that. And beyond experience is liberation – when you know you are not the experience but the experiencer.

That is why it is said in the Bhagavad Gita, 'Nastibuddhi rayuktasya nacha yuktasya bhavana, Nacha bhavayata santihi asantasya kutah sukham'
(Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 66).
If your individual mind is not united with the Universal self that is deep within you, you will neither have intellectual sharpness, nor will you have emotional lightness and clarity.

Q: Gurudev, please talk about the sound vibrations and how do they operate through thoughts? Like how in meditation we take our Mantra.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: It works! That is it! How it works, we do not know.
See, nowadays there are sensors on different objects, and when you touch them, the light comes on. Just your touch can open the locks.
Your telephone works by a simple touch of yours. Your laptop and iPad works this way as well. All this happens just with a touch, isn't that so?
So, all the five senses – touch, smell, taste, sight, and sound, they are nothing but electromagnetic vibrations. Science can explain this very well.

Q: Dearest Gurudev, I realized that I am but a small speck amongst your ocean of devotees. Yet I feel confident that you love me and are aware of my needs. Is that my ego that makes me feel that I am special to you?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: No, it is perfectly alright. You should feel special.
That is why it is said – Anupama (unparalleled, wonderful), Advitiya (unique, without a second), Aprameya (incomparable, immeasurable). These are the qualities of the Atman. The Self is incomparable.
So you can feel very special about yourself – no problem. But do not place any demands. As long as it remains at the level of feelings within you, you are safe and everybody else is safe. But if you say, 'I am very special, so give me this privilege', then it will be very difficult.

I want you to feel special.

Q: Gurudev, sometimes what we fear the most is the very thing that can set us free. So why has God put this fear in us? There was no need for fear.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Fear is just love turned upside down. So when there is love, a little bit of fear also comes.
Knowledge, Vairagya (dispassion), Wisdom – these are the things that can help transform the fear back into love again.

When love turns into attachment that is when fear pops up. So through dispassion and wisdom, keep love in its pure form.

Q: My dear Gurudev, is failure in worldly life important to get back the focus on the spiritual path?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: No. You do not need to fail in order to get the focus.
Do not put such a sankalpa (impression or resolve) in your mind. It is not a necessary thing.

Q: Gurudev, you are very generous. You have fulfilled all of my wishes, but I have not fulfilled all the commitments I made to you. I want to know whether, will you punish me, or will you keep fulfilling my further wishes.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: (Laughter) Why should I reveal it to you now? I will leave you guessing about it.
You better fulfil your commitments before you wish for something more. I do not want to make you a greedy person. Otherwise you will become so greedy.

When you know that your desires are getting fulfilled, you should desire for bigger things, not just things for yourself. Have desires for the nation, for the world, for humanity.

If your desires are for achieving something bigger, and bringing this knowledge to the people, then that is more meaningful. Then you are growing.
You should take a sankalpa, 'Let the knowledge of Vedanta reach thousands of people; let Yoga reach thousands of people.' You should cultivate such desires in you.
Actually you cannot cultivate a desire, but this is the right direction for desires.

Special Navaratri Week-long Art of Silence course


"Silence is the mother of all creativity, beauty, love and intuition." – Sri
Sri


This week-long Art of Silence retreat is a unique opportunity in the
U.S., which will take you deep into your Self over a whole week with senior
teacher Michael Fischman. This course is an opportunity to experience
powerful silence along with the deep serenity of 'Hollow and Empty'
meditations. A profound stillness and a lessening of mental chatter are just
some of the results of the course. A shorter 4-day course will be offered at
the same time for those unable to attend the longer course.


During this time, Navaratri will be celebrated at the center. It is an
ancient tradition. Nine days of inner silence and celebration. Special
ceremonies nurture the subtle impulses that govern nature and our own
nature.

Navaratri is Sanskrit for nine nights. Just as a person spends nine
months in the womb, during this event, nine days are spent going inward,
harmonizing the feminine forces in creation, erasing negative karma, and
emerging transformed in pure love. The course will happen during this
festival, which will feature daily chants and music. Special ceremonies will
be held to celebrate Saptami (Oct 21st) and Ashtami (Oct 22nd) at the end of
the course.


Boone is renowned as a mountain get-away especially in October, when the
leaves turn golden red. You can beat the city rush and come to our very own
retreat facility amidst the serene mountains and turning foliage.


"Navaratri is a time for self-referral, a festival for one to take the mind
back to its Source." – Sri Sri


All accommodation is available on site, a short walk away from the
meditation hall. This course is open to all those have completed the Art of
Living or Yesplus courses, plus one Art of Silence course.


Course Details:

Venue: Intl. Center for Meditation & Well-Being

136 Virgil Day Rd., Boone, NC, 28607

Timing: Oct. 19th 10:00 am – Oct. 25th 12 noon (longer course)

Subject: Advance Course ( Part-II ) in Kuwait


God has created so many things in which creation of human is the most
wonderful. We are also made up of with the same elements with which the
whole universe is made up of. All the elements in the world are just the
manifestation of consciousness. There is nothing in this world other than
the five elements Ether, Air, Fire, Water, earth and consciousness. Perfect
equilibrium of all the five elements maintains life in you. All these
natural elements have great power to purify us.



GuruDev has designed a beautiful course where all the elements will be
served wisely in right proportion to bring this equilibrium and rejuvenate
you often. GuruDev recommends us to go through this course at least twice in
a year. The whole program is designed to give you a true vacation to retreat
to consciousness stopping all enervating influences which could be made
possible only with loving guidance of a Guru at each step. He is sending his
blossomed potential Ajayji Khimji from Oman this time to guide and accompany
us in to our beautiful self.

This part-II course is going to be a 4 ½ day commencing on 24th October
2012 evening in Canadian Bilingual School, Khaitan and ends on 28th October
2012 throughout which HE guides you on a journey deeper into being enabling
the spontaneous integration of life with the wisdom. It is quite doubtless
to be a vacation in the true sense of the word leaves you rejuvenated and
relaxed in body mind and spirit in the guidance of our beloved teacher Shri
Ajay Khimji.



I feel blessed and Enthusiastic to be a part of taking so many beings to the
source of joy by coordinating the event on behalf of all of you and Kuwait
Chapter and make them realize that everyone is love & life is enthusiasm. I
would like you all to be enthusiastic in enrolling yourself to the much
needed deep rest for all of us for awakening the enthusiasm.



Ensure your seats to Radhakrishnanji (65865837) in Salmiya, Sudhakarji
(97217631) in Mangaf, Dharmaji (66083790) in Abbassiya or Myself (97111872)

These nine days are to be spent in meditation, satsangs, silence and knowledge" -Sri Sri

Venue : Govt High School, Off 1st Main, Domlur, Bangalore Landmark : Shantisagar Hotel Timings : 6.30am-8.00pm Reporting : 6.00am, 1st Nov.
Course Fee : Rs.3500/-

For registrations please contact 96200 03046 (Bharathiji) / 99722 00775(Yatheesh)/ 96635 77699(Sreejith)

About Dr.Arun Madhavanji:

Arunji is an alumnus of the reputed IIM Ahmedabad. His professional career with the multi-national Standard Chartered Bank spanned 27 years taking him to varied geographic locations overseas and India.

Following an early voluntary retirement from corporate world, he plunged into spiritual pursuits and community work. As one of the Founder Trustees of VVK India AOL, he became its First Chairman and held the office till the Silver Jubilee. He is currently on the Board of Sri Sri Ravishankar Trust (SSRT).

He has composed and sung many bhajans for AOL and his rendition of Yoga Vasishta has been very well received here and abroad. His book titled 'Sampradaya- A Tribute to Tradition' was released at Beijing in April 2009 during the Incredible India celebrations.

He was conferred many awards and honors -`Dynamic Indian of the Millennium' by the KG Foundation, the DSc by Karpagam University, Coimbatore, and Paul Harris Fellow by Rotary International to name a few.

Experiences of participants : The hidden power of our Art of Silence program

Our AMC faculty Dr.Arun Madhavan recently returned after conducting an Art of Silence program in a rural location. The course witnessed deep silence kept by the participants. Though many of them had to retire to their homes to cook food and tend to their school- going children, they were back at the venue for the morning yoga at the time announced, maintaining strict silence all through. On the final day, when the silence was broken, he saw one participant who looked very content and cheerful to continue with his silence. After the closing ceremonies, Arunji was heading for the airport when the phone rang and the caller introduced himself as the one who didn't break his silence at the course venue. He had a wish to come across to the airport to bid farewell but Arunji dissuaded him. Instead he asked him if there is a location en route the airport where he could wait and meet him.

Traffic was smooth all the way until Arunji's car reached a point where the traffic on the right side of the road was packed and stagnant, the left side was free. The host on the wheel saw an ambulance coming in front of him offering little maneuverability of space for the ambulance to pass through. He took the car over the pavement, only to to see the left wheel hanging into a 6 feet canal trench. Upon this sudden development they saw a familiar face rushing to the spot. He put his hand under the chassis to effortlessly lift the stuck vehicle weighing over one tonne and ease it on the road. He was none other than the participant who was waiting there to meet Arunji and his gesture was very timely and swift. After the pleasantries he asked a simple question- How did I do it?

Arunji's reply was "your deep silence and spontaneous stretching of your hand gave you this extraordinary energy. There is an aphorism in Sanskrit which affirms this " 'मौनं सर्वार्थ साधिके' maunam Sarvartha Satakam". In Bangalore they say in Kannada: 'summaniru manave, nee brahmanaguve' 'Remain quiet, O mind, you will become Brahman.'

Self effort and Grace at work.

Subject: DSN in Bahrain during Eid Holidays


DSN (Do Something New)

Learn on working with people and managing challenging situations with a YES!!!! attitude.

The environment has a definite impact on you. Ambitious people around you, will make you ambitious as well. If you are surrounded by angry or jealous people, some anger or jealousy creeps into your system.

On the other hand, you also impact the environment. If you are stronger than the environment, you will transform it. So to maintain your centeredness, it is not enough that you are peaceful and calm, you need to become strong!

We would all like to live in a peaceful and happy society. But it is not possible to have a peaceful and happy society when it has unhappy and stressed out individuals. And at a certain level we all have very good intentions to help make some difference. Unfortunately these good intentions are rarely translated into action.

The DSN course spread over 3 ½ days, gently but firmly helps you break out of your perceived boundaries and limitations, so that you can transform the people and the environment around you with strength and love.

The very unique 'Padma Sadhana' technique is also taught on this course.

Undergoing the DSN course is a powerful, uplifting and fulfilling experience!

So register your name for the upcoming DSNprogram in Bahrain during the Eid holidays.

The course starts on the evening ofThursday, 25 October, followed by three full days.

Do Something New in the holidays!

This course is only for those who have done Part 1.

Sri Sri Yoga Level 2 in Germany, Bad Antogast

28th Nov. (7:00 pm) to 2nd Dec. (6 pm)

As yoga enthusiasts many of us are on the lookout for a yoga course that can help us explore the depths of yoga - from philosophy to practice. Sri Sri Yoga Level 1 introduces us to the techniques of asana, pranayama, and meditation; while Sri Sri Yoga Level 2 gives us an opportunity to go deeper into the realm of yoga and understand what it means to live like a yogi!

Advanced yoga does not have to necessarily mean difficult yoga. Here we get a thorough exploration of yoga postures, an­cient yogic knowledge, breathing and meditation in a gentle yet profound, celebrative and joyful retreat setting.

Prerequisites:

1) Art of Breathing (Part 1) Course or the YES!+ Course 2) Sri Sri Yoga Level 1

Registration and more information at https://secure2.artofliving.org/courses If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact us by email at info@artofliving.de or call us at 0049780497390.

Very much looking forward to having you in Bad Antogast,

With Love, Your Bad Antogast Team
