realize you are not just the body, but you are more than the body. That

Subject: America Meditates... and Rio meditate for Peace
In Rio de Janeiro, the happening took place in one of the most beautiful
places of the city, Arpoador Beach. In front of the most famous sunset of the
city and one of the most beautiful in the world. Around 1000 people joined
together to meditate under the sound of the waves and feeling the light wind
that came from the sea.
The movement took an amazing proportion. As a stream of good, which spread to
everybody, people received calls from different friends, even from people who
lived outside the country.
Several organizations, NGOs and citizens who act in behalf of peace have come
together in support of the movement organized by the Art of Living Foundation.
There emanated an atmosphere of peace which was contagious to all who joined
the meditation. At the end they shared incredible experiences of deep
meditation.
During meditation, the feeling is that the nature calmed down along with the
thousands of people there. As soon as the meditation finished and everyone
clapped, nature began to celebrate that historic moment with everybody, blowing
a wind that rocked the flags and spread that energy of peace throughout the
city.
It was the perfect end to a fascinating event that surely will become part of
the calendar of the city and across America, because after all, PEACE IS
CONTAGIOUS.

Subject: Art of Living Speed up UN MDG Campaign 2009 at Coimbatore
As part of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals Campaign 2009 and
also for our Art of Living Volunteers to become conversant with the Right to
Information Act, an orientation workshop was organised on 10th October 2009 at
the Samarpan Hall, Coimbatore.
The programme was intended for throwing light on the methodology of getting the
right and accurate information on unutilized funds in the MLA and MP
constituency budgets as well as to find out the funds allocated to various
State Government departments for implementing welfare programs on poverty
alleviation, primary education and sustainable environment.
The Right to Information Act is a mandate for the Government Departments to
furnish the information requested by the citizens within the stipulated time.
In every Government Department a Public Information Officer is designated and
he has to provide the requested information within 30 days of application,
failing which the applicant can take up the matter with the higher authorities
to get it redressed and the erring official could also be booked for
non-compliance.
Shri. K. Kathirmathiyon, Secretary of the Coimbatore Consumer Cause (CCC) who
has more than two decades of experience as a consumer activist shared his vast
knowledge on the subject. He made us all feel an unfathomable admiration for
the service he has been doing. Hundreds of cases have been taken up on behalf
of the common man and justice has prevailed.
According to Shri.Kathirmathiyon most of us believe that we neither have the
time nor the inclination to represent our grievance and virtually land up
begging for our rights rather than fighting for them. He said "First learn
what your rights are". There is no weapon like information. Once you are
armoured with the right information you can emphasize your rights with
dynamism." He also added "Never give up half way. If you know your rights,
and you have all the evidence with you, nobody can prevent you from
accomplishing your due."
He narrated some interesting incidents in his life wherein as a consumer
activist he won many cases including the Railway Tatkal quota. He narrated
with humour the clarification he received from the Railway authority about the
difference between Super fast Trains and Express Trains. So also the Maximum
Retail Price dispute with a leading Departmental store and how he won every
single paise in that case. The State Transport Department was also taken to
task for charging abnormal fares in the name of LSS service. The three hour
session was interactive and interesting many of the participants had very
interesting queries for which Shri. Kathirmathiyon gave clarifications.
The Right to Information is a great boon to the common man and awareness about
it should reach everyone. The volunteers who had attended the workshop have
decided to spread awareness of RTI in different parts of Coimbatore as well as
make the most of it for the benefit of the society. The workshop was arranged
by Shri. Uthamraj Tamil nadu State Co-ordinator Speedup Millenium Development
goals Campaign ,2009.

Subject: Let's Light the lamp of love in every heart.....By Sri Sri
Guruji's write-up on Diwali in today's The Times of India special edition
"Glittering Times" ie. dated 15th October 2009.
Get Blessed !!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Let's Light the lamp of love in every heart'
...........By H H SRI SRI RAVI SHANKAR
LIGHTING DIYAS, BURNING CRACKERS... THE RITUALS FOLLOWED DURING DIWALI ARE
SYMBOLS OF LIFE ITSELF
For an oil lamp to burn, the wick has to be in the oil yet out of the oil.
If the wick is drowned in oil, it cannot bring light. Life is like the wick of
the lamp, you have to be in the world yet remain untouched by it. If you are
drowned in the materialism of the world, you cannot bring joy and knowledge in
your life. By being in the world, yet not drowning in the worldly aspect of it,
we can be the light of joy and knowledge.
Diwali is the celebration of the light of wisdom thus born. It celebrates
the victory of good over evil, light over darkness and knowledge over
ignorance. Lights are lit on this day not just to decorate homes, but also to
communicate this profound truth about life. Light the lamp of wisdom and love
in every heart and bring a radiant smile on every face.
Every human being has some good qualities. And every lamp that you light is
symbolic of this. Some people have forbearance, some have love, strength,
generosity; others have the ability to unite people. The latent values in you
are like a lamp. Don't be satisfied with lighting just one lamp; light a
thousand, for, you need to light many lights to dispel the darkness of
ignorance. By lighting the lamp of wisdom in you and acquiring knowledge, you
awaken all the facets of your being. When they are lit and awakened, it is
Diwali.
Another profound symbolism is in the firecrackers. In life, you often become
like a firecracker, waiting to explode with your pent-up emotions, frustration
and anger. When you keep suppressing your emotions, cravings, aversions,
hatred, it is bound to reach a bursting point. Bursting crackers is a
psychological exercise created by the ancient people to release bottled-up
emotions. When you see an explosion outside, you feel similar sensations within
you as well. Along with the explosion, there is so much light. So when you let
go these emotions, then serenity dawns.
Unless and until the pent-up emotions in you clear, you cannot experience
the newness in you. Diwali means to be in the present, so drop the regrets of
the past and the worries of the future and live in the moment.
There is another symbolism in the gift exchange and the distribution of
sweets. Sweets and gifts exchange symbolise the dispelling of the bitterness of
the past and renewal of friendship for the times to come.
Any celebration is incomplete without the spirit of seva (service); whatever
we have received from the Divine we should share it with others – for, it is
in giving that we receive. That is true celebration. Celebration also means
dissolving all differences and basking in the glory of the atman. Everyone in
society has to become wise. Happiness and wisdom have to spread and that can
happen when all come together and celebrate in knowledge.
Diwali is a celebration to forget the bickering and negativities that have
happened through the year. It is a time when you throw light on the wisdom you
have gained and welcome a new beginning. When true wisdom dawns, it gives rise
to celebration. Often in celebrations, you tend to lose focus or awareness. To
maintain awareness in the midst of celebrations, the ancient rishis brought
sacredness and puja (rituals) to every celebration. For the same reason, Diwali
is also the time for Pujas. The spiritual aspects of Diwali add depth to the
celebrations. Any celebration has to be spiritual, since a celebration without
spirituality has no depth.
For the one who is not in knowledge, Diwali comes only once a year, but for
the wise, Diwali is every moment and every day. This Diwali, celebrate with
knowledge and take a sankalpa (intention) to serve humanity. Light the lamp of
love in your heart; the lamp of abundance in your home; the lamp of compassion
to serve others; the lamp of Knowledge to dispel the darkness of ignorance and
the lamp of gratitude for the abundance that the Divine has bestowed on us.
