Subject: What is it that you want from your life? ... Sri Sri
Now keep everything aside and just look at your own life.
What is it that you want from your life?
Have you ever sat and thought about it, 'What do I want in my life?'
We seldom get time to do that. And, 'Who am I?' - That too we do not think
about.
Someone told us something and we learnt that. We have studied and gotten
educated, but 'Who am I? What do I want?' These questions seldom come to our
mind.
If you see your life of 60, 70 or 80 years, do you know how you spend those
80 years?
You spend 40 years of your life sleeping. You spend about eight years of
your life in bathrooms and toilets, and about the same numbers of years are
spent in eating.
10 to 15 years are spent in traffic, in making journeys, and in working.
Hardly two to three years of our life are spent in what we call a 'happy'
life. Is it not?
And is it not that which you want - Happiness?
Happiness is not a commodity that you can buy somewhere. It is present where
you are, right here and right now. And the way to find that happiness is
meditation.
Meditation improves our health, our state of mind and brings more happiness.
Whatever we are seeking here and there, is right here, within us.
Distractions are there to see how keen you are to catch the wisdom.
In Sanskrit there is a saying, 'Shreyansi Bahu Vighnani', which means, if
there is something very precious then there are many obstacles or
distractions that come with it (from the Uddhava Gita. This quote is part of
Lord Krishna's discourse to his devotee Uddhava).
If there are a lot of distractions that come for something, then it must be
very precious.
If you want to do something wrong, there will be no obstructions for that.
But if you want to do something good or pick up something precious, many
distractions may come.
The key to achieving greater happiness isn't very far. In fact, an Art of
Living Course instructor would tell you it is right under your nose.
Literally. It's all in something as simple as the breath.
Sudarshan Kriya incorporates specific natural rhythms of the breath, which
harmonize the body, mind and emotions. This unique breathing technique
eliminates stress, fatigue and negative emotions such as anger, frustration
and depression, leaving you calm yet energized, focused yet relaxed.

Subject: World Mental Health Day: Art of Living Foundation Sri Lanka to
launch `STOP THE MIND` campaign to prevent depression
World Mental Health Day: Art of Living Foundation Sri Lanka to launch `STOP
THE MIND` campaign to prevent depression
A novel idea to de-stress!
While the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka is gaining momentum by the day.
Nail-biting moments, betting, celebrations and endless drawing - room and
office discussions as to who will take the much coveted cup have become the
order of the day. When the cricket fever is keeping all the anxiety, stress
and tension tucked away for another day. October 10th 2012 will soon arrive
to announce that it's World Mental Health Day!
To mark this day, the Art of Living Foundation a registered charity in the
island-nation is scheduled to launch its new campaign to prevent depression.
Aptly titled `Stop the Mind`, this campaign will host a live event on
October 10th to deliver a new experience for students, youth, executives,
sportspersons and home makers.
The Sri Lankan Government`s Health Ministry states that around one percent
of the total population in the country suffer from serious depression and
another seven to 10 percent from minor depression. The Ministry spokesman
further states that depression is the second highest killer in the world and
is expected that it will reach the top by the year 2030. While untreated
depression can lead to suicide, the Ministry urges people to take measures
for prevention.
The Art of Living Foundation`s `Stop the Mind` campaign is aimed at
educating the public to prevent depression. In the heavy traffic of thoughts
on the highway called mind, stop the mind for a few minutes every day - this
is the credo and theme that the Art of Living youth and volunteers are to
showcase to the people on October 10th 2012.
This new campaign is inspired by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar the world renowned
spiritual leader and an ambassador of peace. The key insight for this
campaign is well articulated in Sri Sri`s interview by the famous television
host Dan Shilon.
The inspiring interview is available for viewing on the You Tube under the
title ` Sri Sri Ravi Shankar`s interview with Dan Shilon`. In the
thought-provoking interview Sri Sri says "Stop the mind. It`s racing. It is
always thinking of the past or anxious about the future. We are either angry
about the past or anxious about the future. Take a fresh look at the world,
the situation in front of you. You need to wake up and see. Let`s see what
we should do now and for the future. That gives you a lot of energy,
encouragement, enthusiasm and lifts you up".
Come October 10th and The Art of Living Yoga Hut in Colombo will be all set
to receive people from all walks of life for this unique event. Those
interested in participating in the live event can email their names to
artoflivingsl@gmail.com or call 011- 2367067; 0771673800.

Subject: Come be a part of Gyan Daan - Creating Liabraries for Jails in
Delhi-NCR "Inside every culprit, there is a victim crying for help. That
person is also a victim of ignorance, small-mindedness and lack of
awareness. It's the stress, lack of broad vision about life, lack of
understanding, and bad communication that leads to violence in society."
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji As we all are putting our best efforts to bring
PRIVARTAN in inmates, lets put an extra effort to bring back in them that
long lost smile, twinkle in their eyes and to fill up their hearts with love
24 x 7 by giving them a gift of Knowledgeable words in a form of libraries
in each jail.
Books enlighten us and widen our vision. They provide food for the mind.
They shape our character and their influence penetrates deep down the mind.
I request you to spread the word around to all for donating books / cash
for creating a Library in jails.

India
The Schools' Project in Delhi & NCR
Working with the future of India
The journey started two and a half years ago with the Mega Painting
Competition that took place before the Clean Delhi Drive. The theme of the
competition was 'My clean Dilli Dream Dilli'. More than 2,000 schools
participated and 6,50,000 children painted the Delhi of their dreams. Word
spread through the participating children and within a few days the
competition became a topic of discussion in many households of Delhi.
The drawing competition was a beginning of sorts as it opened many doors.
This event was a pilot project which was subsequently replicated in other
countries. The competition was followed by the Clean Delhi Drive in which
450 schools participated and over 20,000 children worked tirelessly to
create awareness among more than 20,00,000 inhabitants of Delhi, inspiring
them to keep the city clean. The dedicated team of Art Excel and YES
teachers and volunteers that worked towards this, was by then known as the
Schools' Team; this team, through its cleanliness project in schools
educated over 1,00,000 students in keeping their city clean. After the Clean
Delhi Drive, schools in Delhi & NCR started showing a lot of interest in
associating themselves with Art of Living's projects. They appreciated the
work done by the Art of Living and the practical methods of instilling
values in children.
The Educators' Meet in November 2011 was yet another memorable event.
Principals of 800 schools in Delhi & NCR participated in this seminar to
interact with His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and hear Him speak about
value education in schools. The schools were now ready to become actively
involved in various service initiatives and projects of the Art of Living.
Prestigious schools like Delhi Public School, Air Force School, Sanskriti
School, Springdales School and G.D.Goenka School expressed an interest in
the Art of Living's initiatives.
Since December 2011, Art excel and YES workshops have been conducted in many
schools, as a part of NOVICE (Nurturing of Values in Children Every day);
some of these schools are Uttam School, Salwan Girls' School, ITL Public
School, Delhi Public School, DAV School and Banasthali School. Apart from
this a stress free teaching workshop of one hour has been conducted in many
schools including Sachdeva Public School, Army Public School, Venkateshwara
School, Indraprastha School, Silverline School, Shanti Gyan School, Marigold
School, Greater Valley School, Apeejay School and St.Marks School; many
teachers have benefitted from this workshop.Through these initiatives, the
Schools' Team has created a relationship with approximately 1,000 public
schools and almost all schools under the government sector. More than 64,000
children from 150 schools of Delhi & NCR participated in Yogathon, despite
the day being a holiday.
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) sanctioned a pilot project for 1,400
teachers and 3,000 students. In the 2nd phase 1,200 students and 200
teachers have already experienced the grace of the Master. This is a big
leap forward and has helped us to reach out to MCD Schools and Kendriya
Vidyalayas where talks are already in progress.
At present, approximately 200 volunteers of the Art of Living are involved
in the Schools' Project.

With none other than, our Yound& Dynamic AOL internatioal teacher:
Bharat Vig ji
About the Course
DSN (Divya Samaj Nirman) is a unique program for Creating a Divine Society.
It trains one to break boundaries of the mind and enables one to go beyond
oneself. It brings about a natural spontaneity in one's life which helps to
stay focused in the present moment irrespective of the nature of the
situation.
Many thousands world wide have been benefitted by the DSN program. This is a
program which will train oneself to be "Always a part of the solution"
rather than from being "Part of the problem" whenever problems are
encountered in life.
"The programs, the processes, the homework, all shattered or dissolved what
I perceived were my limitations" - Bill Hayden, NASA Engineer.
"Do Something NOW (DSN) provided the tools I need to enhance my awareness,
consciousness and love that quiets my inner voices of worry and fear" -
Susan, A participant.

Subject: Come be a part of Gyan Daan - Creating Liabraries for Jails in
Delhi-NCR "Inside every culprit, there is a victim crying for help. That
person is also a victim of ignorance, small-mindedness and lack of
awareness. It's the stress, lack of broad vision about life, lack of
understanding, and bad communication that leads to violence in society."
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji As we all are putting our best efforts to bring
PRIVARTAN in inmates, lets put an extra effort to bring back in them that
long lost smile, twinkle in their eyes and to fill up their hearts with love
24 x 7 by giving them a gift of Knowledgeable words in a form of libraries
in each jail.
Books enlighten us and widen our vision. They provide food for the mind.
They shape our character and their influence penetrates deep down the mind.
I request you to spread the word around to all for donating books / cash
for creating a Library in jails.

India
The Schools' Project in Delhi & NCR
Working with the future of India
The journey started two and a half years ago with the Mega Painting
Competition that took place before the Clean Delhi Drive. The theme of the
competition was 'My clean Dilli Dream Dilli'. More than 2,000 schools
participated and 6,50,000 children painted the Delhi of their dreams. Word
spread through the participating children and within a few days the
competition became a topic of discussion in many households of Delhi.
The drawing competition was a beginning of sorts as it opened many doors.
This event was a pilot project which was subsequently replicated in other
countries. The competition was followed by the Clean Delhi Drive in which
450 schools participated and over 20,000 children worked tirelessly to
create awareness among more than 20,00,000 inhabitants of Delhi, inspiring
them to keep the city clean. The dedicated team of Art Excel and YES
teachers and volunteers that worked towards this, was by then known as the
Schools' Team; this team, through its cleanliness project in schools
educated over 1,00,000 students in keeping their city clean. After the Clean
Delhi Drive, schools in Delhi & NCR started showing a lot of interest in
associating themselves with Art of Living's projects. They appreciated the
work done by the Art of Living and the practical methods of instilling
values in children.
The Educators' Meet in November 2011 was yet another memorable event.
Principals of 800 schools in Delhi & NCR participated in this seminar to
interact with His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and hear Him speak about
value education in schools. The schools were now ready to become actively
involved in various service initiatives and projects of the Art of Living.
Prestigious schools like Delhi Public School, Air Force School, Sanskriti
School, Springdales School and G.D.Goenka School expressed an interest in
the Art of Living's initiatives.
Since December 2011, Art excel and YES workshops have been conducted in many
schools, as a part of NOVICE (Nurturing of Values in Children Every day);
some of these schools are Uttam School, Salwan Girls' School, ITL Public
School, Delhi Public School, DAV School and Banasthali School. Apart from
this a stress free teaching workshop of one hour has been conducted in many
schools including Sachdeva Public School, Army Public School, Venkateshwara
School, Indraprastha School, Silverline School, Shanti Gyan School, Marigold
School, Greater Valley School, Apeejay School and St.Marks School; many
teachers have benefitted from this workshop.Through these initiatives, the
Schools' Team has created a relationship with approximately 1,000 public
schools and almost all schools under the government sector. More than 64,000
children from 150 schools of Delhi & NCR participated in Yogathon, despite
the day being a holiday.
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) sanctioned a pilot project for 1,400
teachers and 3,000 students. In the 2nd phase 1,200 students and 200
teachers have already experienced the grace of the Master. This is a big
leap forward and has helped us to reach out to MCD Schools and Kendriya
Vidyalayas where talks are already in progress.
At present, approximately 200 volunteers of the Art of Living are involved
in the Schools' Project.

DSN (Divya Samaj Nirman) is a unique program for Creating a Divine Society.

and meditation in a gentle yet profound, celebrative and joyful retreat
setting.
There will be two Sri Sri Yoga Level 2 courses organized in Bad Antogast:
one at the end of September in the presence of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (Sri Sri

Subject: The most precious thing in the world
August 30, 2012
Brazil, South America
Now I am going to ask you a very serious question:
Do you really greet a person or treat it as a formality?
See, on a day to day basis, we greet people, we exchange pleasantries. It is
all on a very formal level. Isn't it so?
When someone brings a glass of water, we say, 'Thank you so much.'
That 'so much' has no meaning.
If you are in the Sahara desert, and you are really very thirsty and someone
brings you a glass of water and you say, 'Thank you so much', it is
authentic.
So, in life, when we deal only on a superficial level all the time and when
we lack the depth, then life feels very dry and meaningless.
We must shift to another level, of authenticity, sincerity, and a genuine
connection from heart to heart. That is what I call spirituality.
Spirituality is when you relate from the authenticity of your existence.
As children we were all doing that.
Do you remember when you were a baby, the whole planet, the whole universe
was so alive. The moon was talking, the trees were talking and the animals
were talking. There was a natural conversation between you and the entire
universe. Do you remember?
Have you seen the children in cartoons? Even trees talk to them. It is a
different world.
Now the question is, can we still maintain that innocence and at the same
time reach the height of intelligence?
I say, 'Yes, we can. '
Intelligence and innocence together is the most precious thing in the world.
There are people who are intelligent and crooked, and it is easy to be
innocent and ignorant. But what is really preferred is the education that
can bring intelligence yet maintain the innocence.
So, now that we are at home and feeling absolutely informal, what topic do
you want me to speak on tonight?
(Audience: Love; Birth; Forgiveness; Relationship; Decisions; God;
Corruption and peace; Compassion; Anger; Fear; Capitalism; Hope; Patience. )
You want me to talk on patience? I will do it next year. And then.
Tell me, does it really matter on what topic we speak on tonight?
You know, we convey more through our presence than our words. Isn't that so?
Does it really matter what we speak?
The world is all just vibrations.
If you talk to your physicist, he will say the whole universe is nothing but
a wave function. Each one of us are nothing but waves.
If you are in touch with your centre, the waves are positive. If you are not
in touch with your centre and have gotten caught up, then your waves become
negative.
Peace, love, compassion, all these are our true waves; our real waves
without distortion. They are the positive vibrations that come from us.
When you get angry, upset, negative, what do you do? You need to change that
into positive. But nobody has taught us how to do this, neither at home nor
at school. Isn't it so? Grandmother must have told us, 'Go to the corner and
count ten', that is it. Counting ten or hundred does not help these days.
If you observe your mind, your mind is angry about the past or anxious about
the future. Both are of no use. Isn't it? What is the point in being angry
about the past, it is gone already. And what is the point in being anxious
about the future? It is meaningless.
Now that which helps you to come to the present moment is meditation.
See, if people know how to meditate for even few minutes, ten minutes every
day, then they can get rid of stress and feel happy.
My vision is to see a violence free society, disease free body, confusion
free mind, inhibition free intellect, trauma free memory and sorrow free
soul. This is my vision. How many of you like to join this vision? (Everyone
is the audience raises their hands).
We should give a better world to our children and to the future generations.
We should give them a world which has more love, which has more compassion,
and a world in which there is no gun culture.
Our children do not need a culture of drugs, or a culture of violence, they
deserve a more loving, humane and compassionate society. A healthier
society. Don't you think so? Then that is what we need to work towards.
Q: What is our mission on Earth?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: What is not our mission on Earth, we should make a
list of that first. Your mission is not to be miserable and make others
miserable, correct?!
Now if you go on eliminating what is not your mission, you will in the end
come to what is your mission.
Q: If others are feeling negative, how not to get affected by that?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: You be more centered and leave a little room for
imperfection. Sometimes we don't leave room for imperfection and so we get
affected.
If someone is negative, they have right to be negative for some time. Let
them be. Give them some space. And I tell you, I am here to collect all your
worries. So give me all your troubles, problems and worries.
I want to see an unfading smile on your face.
Q: Can we control feelings?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: We can transcend feelings easily when we know that
there is something which is much more basic to life than feelings, and that
is the self; the life force, which is not changing at all.
Q: How to know the difference between love and desire/lust?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: In love the other is important, in lust, you are
important.
Q: Dear Gurudev, how can I help people who have a lot of resistance in their
minds?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: In the world, there are different types of people. We
should accept them all as they are. There are people with resistance. It is
okay. Let them walk at their own speed.
On this planet there are rabbits, there are deer, and there are snails. So
you can't expect a snail to run like a rabbit, isn't it?
Let someone walk at a snail's pace even though others are running like deer.
That is how the world is. Keep smiling and keep moving.
Q: I have difficulty in forgiving people.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Don't forgive them, and then see if it is easier?
If you don't forgive somebody, you will keep thinking about them all the
time.
Is it really easy to hold on to anger towards somebody? My goodness, so much
energy of ours gets wasted in it. Do you know why you forgive others? It is
for your own sake.
When you see a culprit also as a victim, you will easily be able to forgive
them.
Every culprit is a victim of ignorance; small mindedness. They don't know
the magnanimity and beauty of life and so they do these silly mistakes of
being self centered and not caring for others. It is because their mind is
small. So we need to forgive them.
Then, you need to see that they never had an opportunity to think big and
feel big like you did. So, you can only be compassionate towards them and
forgive them.

To become a teacher, one will have to successfully complete the following:
1. Pre TTC in Delhi NCR
2. Post Pre TTC Seva

Pre TTC is a unique one week process designed by Gurudev & we are fortunate enough to start the process of 2nd Pre TTC, so that Delhi NCR participants can become teachers with 15-day TTC only. There are limited seats for the Pre TTC & main TTC also(There will be a state-wise quota allocated by the Ashram and we will only be able to send that many people for TTC)

On the last day of the Pre-TTC, there would be a first level evaluation of the Candidates by the Pre-TTC Teachers, conducting the Course.

The minimal time allotted for this will be one month and the maximum six months. Following this, the interim Seva Report would need to be submitted by the candidate to the Delhi NCR TTC Desk. The same will undergo a second-level evaluation and in accordance, the recommendation for the TTC will be sent to the TTC Desk.
The purpose is to have aspiring teachers groomed and supported in the best manner through experienced teachers. The candidates who have successfully undergone the Pre-TTC Course and completed the interim sewa also, shall be eligible depending upon seats available for 15-day TTC at Banglore from 11th Dec 2012 to 25th Dec 2012.

Subject: Sri Sri talks about the recently discovered God
Sri Sri talks about the recently discovered God Particle
July 10, 2012
The scientists have discovered the God Particle; that is what they are saying – Higgs Boson. And they say that the entire universe is made up of this. It is a field, and this field is energy. It gives shape to the planets, stars and everything.
This sounds so familiar to someone who has studied Vedanta, or someone who has experienced deep meditation.
The whole universe is made up of consciousness. It is a play and display of one consciousness. The Vedic Rishis also said the same. They said first know the elements; they called even Brahman, the Ultimate, as a Tattva. Tattva means Principle. Like God Particle, they said Brahman Principle.
What is the first principle? They said the Elements; Earth element, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, and then the Mind, the Intellect – the subtler and subtler you go, you reach there.
Subtler than space is mind, subtler than that is intellect and knowledge is present there. And subtler than that is ego, and hundred times subtler than ego is the Mahat Tattva – The Principle called Mahat, field called Mahat.
Ego itself is an atom, but finer than the ego, beyond the ego, that point, that particle is a field called Mahat Tattva, and finer than that is Moola Prakurti – the primordial energy.
And beyond that primordial energy, is Brahman, of which everything is made, which is the substance of the whole creation. Brahman is infinity, it is neither born nor will it ever die.
In the Rig Veda, there is a Sukta called Nasadiya Sukta, in the 10th Mandala, 129th Adhyaya, there, around seven verses are written. In the seven verses of The Hymn of Creation, it is so striking how these aspects which we now know through quantum mechanics and through quantum physics were present then and there.
What scientists call as Dark Matter and Dark Energy which is everywhere, and which is what we are talking about, the Nasadiya Sukta says the same thing.
Nasadasinno sadasittadanim nasidrajo no vyom paro yat
Kimavarivah kuha kasya sharmannambhah kimasid gahanam gabhiram
Beyond the space, then, in the beginning, there was neither existence nor non-existence; neither birth nor death. It was all only energy. And it also talks about, 'Darkness enveloped by darkness. ' In the third verse it says, 'Darkness was all wrapped around by darkness.'
So these verses strikingly indicate what today's scientists talk about almost in the same language.
Let me read the translation:
At first was neither Being or Non-being. There was not air nor yet sky beyond. What was it wrapping? Where? In what protection?
Was water there, unfathomable and deep?
There was no death then, nor yet deathlessness; of night or day, there was not any sign.
The One breathed without breath, by its own impulse. Other than that was nothing else at all.
Darkness was there all wrapped around by darkness, and all was water indiscriminate. All was energy indiscriminate.
Then that which was hidden by the void, the one emerging, stirring, through power of Ardor, came to be.
In the beginning Love arose, which was the primal germ cell of the mind.
The seers, searching in their heart with wisdom, discovered the connection of Being in Non-being. A crosswise line cut Being from Non-being.
What was described above it, what below? Bearers of seed there were and mighty forces, thrust from below and forward move above.
Who really knows? Who can presume to tell it?
When was it born? Whence issued this creation? Even the Gods came after its emergence.
Then who can tell from whence it came to be?
That out of which creation has arisen, whether it held it from or it did not; He who surveys it in the highest heaven, He surely knows or maybe He does not!
That is very interesting – He surely knows or maybe He does not – because even the knower is part of the phenomenon.
The three types of space are described. One is the space in which we see all the matter that exists; the outer space – Bhutakasha. Then there is the intermediate space or inner space, where all thoughts and emotions float. This is called Chittakasha - the space of the Chitta (consciousness). And then Chidakasha, the space of pure consciousness or energy, which here and there appears to have consolidated and appears to be matter. What appears to be matter is really not matter, it is all One energy, and that One field is called Brahman, and that is what everybody is, that is what everything is.
Doesn't it sound very similar to the Higgs Boson?
So the Brahman or God is not a He or She, they say it is a field. It is a field, it is a space, the basis of everything, and everything is just its own reflection. Everything forms of its own reflection. It is neither a thing, nor nothing.
And they also said this will be known by the scientist of the past and the scientist of the future.
Rishi means one who discovers. The scientists of the ancient times and the scientists of the modern times, in coming years will explore this. And even those, they may not know it. Who knows whether they will know it, or not know?
So further they go, they see it is unknowable.
It is very interesting – Higgs Boson, the concept of it, has come from the past.
Actually, these verses, when people use to say, 'Darkness is enveloped with darkness', it wouldn't make much sense, and Sanskrit and Vedic scholars were struggling to give some meaning to it. It appeared to be completely a meaningless – neither this nor that; it exists or it doesn't exist.
These sorts of words are good enough to confuse a person. I think with the discovery of Higgs Boson, you are able to understand these verses better, because this itself is called The Hymn of Creation. And it is not very straight, like there was a man and a woman and they fell in love, and they brought forth a progeny – it was not like this. The Hymn of Creation here is so mystical and so mysterious.
The mysticism in it is that it is said in the beginning there was neither Being nor Non-being. Neither Matter or Non-matter, and everything was beyond the space.
So, first of all, you should know space, and then you can know beyond the space.
Always they have said that the Brahman is Parame Vyoman (beyond space). You have to go beyond the space. And space is permeating the entire creation.
They have also said about the three types of space – Bhutakasha, Chittakasha and Chidakasha; dissecting the three types of space and then finding.
The scientists never conclude things as an ultimate thing but they will always leave room for further research. They keep the things open-ended and so do the Vedas. They leave it at that. Maybe somebody will discover, somebody knows or somebody doesn't know. It is absolutely fascinating and interesting.
So we need to look at these Vedas, not from a traditional point of view but with a scientific temper. You need to probe into it with a scientific mind. Perhaps you may get some more ideas from this, or maybe not.
Q: (A member of the audience asked a question spontaneously which was inaudible in the recording)
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Yes because God Particle is in Dark Energy only. Nothing is out of Dark Energy. Dark matter and Dark energy is what exists, and all these light bubbles are like drops on a sheet of paper.
Suppose you have a plastic sheet and you put a few drops of water, it forms a round shape. Why is that? It is because of the sheet. In the same way, this whole universe is enveloped by Dark Matter and Dark Energy and that is what it says, 'Tama Asitamasa Gudhamagre.'
In the beginning the darkness was in a mysterious manner enveloped with another darkness, and all this what you see was all energy - Salilam.
Salilam in simple translation means water, that which is fluid. But another meaning for it is energy that moves. Water moves, that is why it is also called Salilam. Air moves, that is why air is called Sameer.
So, Salilam means that energy that is not stagnant, but which is dynamic; moving. And the entire universe was just energy which was dynamic.
Unfortunately people who know the Vedas know nothing about science, and people who know about science know nothing about Vedas. There is a big gap. It will be very difficult for Vedic people to graduate in science. What would be easier is for scientists to learn a little bit of the Vedas. If they go into the books a little bit, even as a pass time, they may be able to explore and get ideas which may be of some use.
It is also said that every particle of the space is filled with knowledge, information. Chittakasha – the space is filled with information; Akashik Records. All that happened in the past; whatsoever anybody or everybody has spoken in the past is all present in the Akasha (space). And what is going to happen and what someone will speak in the future is also present in the Akasha. This is what they say, if you get access to the Akasha.
People who are psychic and those who get premonitions, clairvoyants, all this can be answered with this one field of Chittakasha.
And superior to Chittakasha is Chidakasha - the operator.
Chittakasha is simply a store house; like you type a text message here and press the send button and electronically it goes and delivers to the number you sent it to. Similarly, when you send and receive emails, they all remain in the space, and you are able to download it. That uploading and downloading that happens is in Chittakasha - the space of Chitta. But one step higher than that is Chidakasha.
Chidakasha is the field of intelligence.
Chidakasha is the designer and Chittakasha is the design. And when you do yoga and meditation and go deep into it, then you go into these three spaces. Bhutakasha, where first you find nothingness, and you think that this 'nothingness' is everything, no! You go beyond that, it is Chittakasha, and then beyond that you see Chid-atma - The Self; the Chidakasha, and that is Shiva Tattva - Chidakasha.
See, when you sit for meditation, the first thing you experience is thoughts, and from thoughts you experience emptiness. And then from emptiness you further experience the energy – tremendous energy, isn't it?! How many of you experience energy in deep meditation? (Many raise their hands)
Yes, that is Chidakasha.
So someone asked, 'How is The Self?'
It is empty like the sky and full like the ocean.
Q: What karma determines what bodily elements one gets? Example if someone has eye ailments does it mean it is because they gave eye troubles to others in their previous lifetimes?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: No!
Gahana Karmano Gatih – it is very difficult to fathom the laws of karma. Don't go into it, just don't worry. What types of karma brings what problem with it is a huge thing. Its better you don't go into it. It will only create more paranoia.
Whatever karma is there, knowledge can burn them all, you just drop them all and move on. Otherwise it will be like picking on the garbage can, which garbage is from the morning and which is from yesterday or three days ago. How does it matter? Drop all the karmas and just move on.
Q: Guruji, why did God give us the five sense objects when all the wise people ask us to control them?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: So that you can express something even better than that.
You know, cotton candies are given to babies, but when they grow a little older, nobody goes for those toffees or candies. They go in for some higher joy, some higher experiences.
See, our ability to enjoy sense objects is limited; but when the desire is unlimited there is an imbalance. That is when you have to watch out!
For example, take Bulimia, how much food can you eat? This much (cupping his hands together), bulimia is when you eat but then also you are not satisfied. Then you say, 'Come on, have control over your senses', because if not it is going to harm your own body.
It is similar with all sense objects because experiencing them is draining. If you eat little food it gives you energy, but if you eat a little more then it tires you. How many of you have had this experience? Instead of giving you energy it has made you so tired.
So they say 'Tena Tyaktena Bhunjitha' – which means, experience it but go beyond it as well; let go. You can breathe in, but you cannot only breathe in, you have to breathe out as well, otherwise you will die, isn't it?
So when you turn inward, when you go to yoga then you are able to experience greater joy. Yoga is energy conservation, otherwise it is energy spending.
If kids spend then nobody bothers, the parents say, 'Okay, you spend.'
But if a teenager spends, or one who has grown beyond teenage, then parents say, 'Be careful in spending. Earn as well, you can't only spend.'
If you have become an adult they will tell you that you should earn too. But babies don't earn, even then parents say, 'You go and spend.'
In the same way, with sense objects, you enjoy good taste, good sight, good sound, everything, but then come and conserve your energy, go deep in meditation and realize that there is a bigger joy and greater happiness there and look at that also.
Q: Guruji, please speak about being a vegetarian.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: You know, if you go to Google and search, there are number of reasons.
'Why should I be vegetarian?', or just type, 'Vegetarian', or type, 'Benefits of Vegetarianism'.
It should run into pages and pages. You will also have many videos by doctors, scientists, nutritionists, and all that.
Q: Guruji, could you talk about Tantra and Khajuraho temples? I have been visiting these temples with different groups and each guide says different things, and I do not find truth in it.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Tantra means technique. Yantra, Mantra and Tantra - these are three things.
Mantra is the sound. Yantra is the diagram. Like the Star of David, it is one such Yantra which Judaisim uses as its main symbol. And Tantra is the technique to combine a physical diagram, or a posture with the sound; this is Tantra – the skill to do it.
Now, Tantra as I said is a technique. The ancient Rishis wrote on sex as well – Kama Sutra was written, different postures, and different theories and principles about Tantra. It is used to get rid of obsession.
Why it is on the outer walls of the temple, for that there is a reason. Pilgrims are first asked to go around the temple and look at all the statues, and if any statue, in any way pulls you to excitement you sit there and keep watching. The moment you keep watching, the excitement comes down. So when the mind loses excitement for all these different postures then you go inside. Then your mind is hollow and empty. The mind is blank and then you are able to see the inner sun. That (Khajuraho) is a Sun temple.
You may ask, 'But the Sun is outside, why should we go inside the temple to see the Sun.' Now the ancient people said that is an outer sun, there is an inner Sun - The Self.
To see The Self what is an obstruction? Excitement about the sense organs. The flow of the sense organs towards sense objects keeps your mind outward which needs to move inward.
So in the temple you go around several times and sit in front of those statues. It is like a pornography movie, but there is sense in it. Pornography movies are used to excite people, but this is used to calm people down. And so this is used as a therapy for obsession to sex.
Obsession to sex is not a new thing, it is an old disease. You can't even call it a disease; it is an old inheritance in people. And you need to skillfully go past that to see the light of the being, and so they use these things. They sit with anything that might trigger, obsess you or excite you, and the more you watch it the excitement is gone. Mind calms down.
But Tantras have to be practiced under very strict guidance otherwise it is like walking on a sword. People who fall from there they fall completely down, and it is dangerous. Usually people say it is a dangerous thing to do.
In Tantra also, there is White Tantra, Black Tantra, and all sorts of things. Yoga is the best, a safe and secure way to move forward. Mantra, Yantra and Yoga, this Tantra in Yoga is the technique of how to settle the mind down.
Q: Guruji, my family is falling apart and I am worried about my two children. The relationship with my spouse is becoming bitter with mistrust and misunderstanding. I need your advice.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Certain rough times come in life, just have patience. Don't be in a hurry to take any decision. At times of dire confusion and conflict you should have some patience

Subject: Sri Sri talks about the recently discovered God
Sri Sri talks about the recently discovered God Particle
July 10, 2012
The scientists have discovered the God Particle; that is what they are saying – Higgs Boson. And they say that the entire universe is made up of this. It is a field, and this field is energy. It gives shape to the planets, stars and everything.
This sounds so familiar to someone who has studied Vedanta, or someone who has experienced deep meditation.
The whole universe is made up of consciousness. It is a play and display of one consciousness. The Vedic Rishis also said the same. They said first know the elements; they called even Brahman, the Ultimate, as a Tattva. Tattva means Principle. Like God Particle, they said Brahman Principle.
What is the first principle? They said the Elements; Earth element, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, and then the Mind, the Intellect – the subtler and subtler you go, you reach there.
Subtler than space is mind, subtler than that is intellect and knowledge is present there. And subtler than that is ego, and hundred times subtler than ego is the Mahat Tattva – The Principle called Mahat, field called Mahat.
Ego itself is an atom, but finer than the ego, beyond the ego, that point, that particle is a field called Mahat Tattva, and finer than that is Moola Prakurti – the primordial energy.
And beyond that primordial energy, is Brahman, of which everything is made, which is the substance of the whole creation. Brahman is infinity, it is neither born nor will it ever die.
In the Rig Veda, there is a Sukta called Nasadiya Sukta, in the 10th Mandala, 129th Adhyaya, there, around seven verses are written. In the seven verses of The Hymn of Creation, it is so striking how these aspects which we now know through quantum mechanics and through quantum physics were present then and there.
What scientists call as Dark Matter and Dark Energy which is everywhere, and which is what we are talking about, the Nasadiya Sukta says the same thing.
Nasadasinno sadasittadanim nasidrajo no vyom paro yat
Kimavarivah kuha kasya sharmannambhah kimasid gahanam gabhiram
Beyond the space, then, in the beginning, there was neither existence nor non-existence; neither birth nor death. It was all only energy. And it also talks about, 'Darkness enveloped by darkness. ' In the third verse it says, 'Darkness was all wrapped around by darkness.'
So these verses strikingly indicate what today's scientists talk about almost in the same language.
Let me read the translation:
At first was neither Being or Non-being. There was not air nor yet sky beyond. What was it wrapping? Where? In what protection?
Was water there, unfathomable and deep?
There was no death then, nor yet deathlessness; of night or day, there was not any sign.
The One breathed without breath, by its own impulse. Other than that was nothing else at all.
Darkness was there all wrapped around by darkness, and all was water indiscriminate. All was energy indiscriminate.
Then that which was hidden by the void, the one emerging, stirring, through power of Ardor, came to be.
In the beginning Love arose, which was the primal germ cell of the mind.
The seers, searching in their heart with wisdom, discovered the connection of Being in Non-being. A crosswise line cut Being from Non-being.
What was described above it, what below? Bearers of seed there were and mighty forces, thrust from below and forward move above.
Who really knows? Who can presume to tell it?
When was it born? Whence issued this creation? Even the Gods came after its emergence.
Then who can tell from whence it came to be?
That out of which creation has arisen, whether it held it from or it did not; He who surveys it in the highest heaven, He surely knows or maybe He does not!
That is very interesting – He surely knows or maybe He does not – because even the knower is part of the phenomenon.
The three types of space are described. One is the space in which we see all the matter that exists; the outer space – Bhutakasha. Then there is the intermediate space or inner space, where all thoughts and emotions float. This is called Chittakasha - the space of the Chitta (consciousness). And then Chidakasha, the space of pure consciousness or energy, which here and there appears to have consolidated and appears to be matter. What appears to be matter is really not matter, it is all One energy, and that One field is called Brahman, and that is what everybody is, that is what everything is.
Doesn't it sound very similar to the Higgs Boson?
So the Brahman or God is not a He or She, they say it is a field. It is a field, it is a space, the basis of everything, and everything is just its own reflection. Everything forms of its own reflection. It is neither a thing, nor nothing.
And they also said this will be known by the scientist of the past and the scientist of the future.
Rishi means one who discovers. The scientists of the ancient times and the scientists of the modern times, in coming years will explore this. And even those, they may not know it. Who knows whether they will know it, or not know?
So further they go, they see it is unknowable.
It is very interesting – Higgs Boson, the concept of it, has come from the past.
Actually, these verses, when people use to say, 'Darkness is enveloped with darkness', it wouldn't make much sense, and Sanskrit and Vedic scholars were struggling to give some meaning to it. It appeared to be completely a meaningless – neither this nor that; it exists or it doesn't exist.

I think with the discovery of Higgs Boson, you are able to understand these verses better, because this itself is called The Hymn of Creation.

Maybe somebody will discover, somebody knows or somebody doesn't know. It is absolutely fascinating and interesting.
So we need to look at these Vedas, not from a traditional point of view but with a scientific temper. You need to probe into it with a scientific mind. Perhaps you may get some more ideas from this, or maybe not.
Q: (A member of the audience asked a question spontaneously which was inaudible in the recording)
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Yes because God Particle is in Dark Energy only. Nothing is out of Dark Energy. Dark matter and Dark energy is what exists, and all these light bubbles are like drops on a sheet of paper.
Suppose you have a plastic sheet and you put a few drops of water, it forms a round shape. Why is that? It is because of the sheet. In the same way, this whole universe is enveloped by Dark Matter and Dark Energy and that is what it says, 'Tama Asitamasa Gudhamagre.'
In the beginning the darkness was in a mysterious manner enveloped with another darkness, and all this what you see was all energy - Salilam.
Salilam in simple translation means water, that which is fluid. But another meaning for it is energy that moves. Water moves, that is why it is also called Salilam. Air moves, that is why air is called Sameer.
So, Salilam means that energy that is not stagnant, but which is dynamic; moving. And the entire universe was just energy which was dynamic.
Unfortunately people who know the Vedas know nothing about science, and people who know about science know nothing about Vedas. There is a big gap. It will be very difficult for Vedic people to graduate in science. What would be easier is for scientists to learn a little bit of the Vedas. If they go into the books a little bit, even as a pass time, they may be able to explore and get ideas which may be of some use.
It is also said that every particle of the space is filled with knowledge, information. Chittakasha – the space is filled with information; Akashik Records. All that happened in the past; whatsoever anybody or everybody has spoken in the past is all present in the Akasha (space). And what is going to happen and what someone will speak in the future is also present in the Akasha. This is what they say, if you get access to the Akasha.
People who are psychic and those who get premonitions, clairvoyants, all this can be answered with this one field of Chittakasha.
And superior to Chittakasha is Chidakasha - the operator.
Chittakasha is simply a store house; like you type a text message here and press the send button and electronically it goes and delivers to the number you sent it to. Similarly, when you send and receive emails, they all remain in the space, and you are able to download it. That uploading and downloading that happens is in Chittakasha - the space of Chitta. But one step higher than that is Chidakasha.
Chidakasha is the field of intelligence.
Chidakasha is the designer and Chittakasha is the design. And when you do yoga and meditation and go deep into it, then you go into these three spaces. Bhutakasha, where first you find nothingness, and you think that this 'nothingness' is everything, no! You go beyond that, it is Chittakasha, and then beyond that you see Chid-atma - The Self; the Chidakasha, and that is Shiva Tattva - Chidakasha.

It is empty like the sky and full like the ocean.
Q: What karma determines what bodily elements one gets? Example if someone has eye ailments does it mean it is because they gave eye troubles to others in their previous lifetimes?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: No!
Gahana Karmano Gatih – it is very difficult to fathom the laws of karma. Don't go into it, just don't worry. What types of karma brings what problem with it is a huge thing. Its better you don't go into it. It will only create more paranoia.
Whatever karma is there, knowledge can burn them all, you just drop them all and move on. Otherwise it will be like picking on the garbage can, which garbage is from the morning and which is from yesterday or three days ago. How does it matter? Drop all the karmas and just move on.
Q: Guruji, why did God give us the five sense objects when all the wise people ask us to control them?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: So that you can express something even better than that.
You know, cotton candies are given to babies, but when they grow a little older, nobody goes for those toffees or candies. They go in for some higher joy, some higher experiences.
See, our ability to enjoy sense objects is limited; but when the desire is unlimited there is an imbalance. That is when you have to watch out!
For example, take Bulimia, how much food can you eat? This much (cupping his hands together), bulimia is when you eat but then also you are not satisfied. Then you say, 'Come on, have control over your senses', because if not it is going to harm your own body.
It is similar with all sense objects because experiencing them is draining. If you eat little food it gives you energy, but if you eat a little more then it tires you. How many of you have had this experience? Instead of giving you energy it has made you so tired.
So they say 'Tena Tyaktena Bhunjitha' – which means, experience it but go beyond it as well; let go. You can breathe in, but you cannot only breathe in, you have to breathe out as well, otherwise you will die, isn't it?
So when you turn inward, when you go to yoga then you are able to experience greater joy. Yoga is energy conservation, otherwise it is energy spending.
If kids spend then nobody bothers, the parents say, 'Okay, you spend.'
But if a teenager spends, or one who has grown beyond teenage, then parents say, 'Be careful in spending. Earn as well, you can't only spend.'
If you have become an adult they will tell you that you should earn too. But babies don't earn, even then parents say, 'You go and spend.'
In the same way, with sense objects, you enjoy good taste, good sight, good sound, everything, but then come and conserve your energy, go deep in meditation and realize that there is a bigger joy and greater happiness there and look at that also.
Q: Guruji, please speak about being a vegetarian.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: You know, if you go to Google and search, there are number of reasons.
'Why should I be vegetarian?', or just type, 'Vegetarian', or type, 'Benefits of Vegetarianism'.
It should run into pages and pages. You will also have many videos by doctors, scientists, nutritionists, and all that.
Q: Guruji, could you talk about Tantra and Khajuraho temples? I have been visiting these temples with different groups and each guide says different things, and I do not find truth in it.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Tantra means technique. Yantra, Mantra and Tantra - these are three things.
Mantra is the sound. Yantra is the diagram. Like the Star of David, it is one such Yantra which Judaisim uses as its main symbol. And Tantra is the technique to combine a physical diagram, or a posture with the sound; this is Tantra – the skill to do it.
Now, Tantra as I said is a technique. The ancient Rishis wrote on sex as well – Kama Sutra was written, different postures, and different theories and principles about Tantra. It is used to get rid of obsession.
Why it is on the outer walls of the temple, for that there is a reason. Pilgrims are first asked to go around the temple and look at all the statues, and if any statue, in any way pulls you to excitement you sit there and keep watching. The moment you keep watching, the excitement comes down. So when the mind loses excitement for all these different postures then you go inside. Then your mind is hollow and empty. The mind is blank and then you are able to see the inner sun. That (Khajuraho) is a Sun temple.
You may ask, 'But the Sun is outside, why should we go inside the temple to see the Sun.' Now the ancient people said that is an outer sun, there is an inner Sun - The Self.
To see The Self what is an obstruction? Excitement about the sense organs. The flow of the sense organs towards sense objects keeps your mind outward which needs to move inward.
So in the temple you go around several times and sit in front of those statues. It is like a pornography movie, but there is sense in it. Pornography movies are used to excite people, but this is used to calm people down. And so this is used as a therapy for obsession to sex.
Obsession to sex is not a new thing, it is an old disease. You can't even call it a disease; it is an old inheritance in people. And you need to skillfully go past that to see the light of the being, and so they use these things. They sit with anything that might trigger, obsess you or excite you, and the more you watch it the excitement is gone. Mind calms down.
But Tantras have to be practiced under very strict guidance otherwise it is like walking on a sword. People who fall from there they fall completely down, and it is dangerous. Usually people say it is a dangerous thing to do.
In Tantra also, there is White Tantra, Black Tantra, and all sorts of things. Yoga is the best, a safe and secure way to move forward. Mantra, Yantra and Yoga, this Tantra in Yoga is the technique of how to settle the mind down.
Q: Guruji, my family is falling apart and I am worried about my two children. The relationship with my spouse is becoming bitter with mistrust and misunderstanding. I need your advice.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Certain rough times come in life, just have patience. Don't be in a hurry to take any decision. At times of dire confusion and conflict you should have some patience
