Our beloved Guruji says "Our first and foremost commitment is to do seva
(service) in the world and be grateful for any opportunity to do the seva."

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?

Interested devotees can get involve in seva by putting their respources in
terms of time & money.

Appended is the project report of the School. For more information &

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!
