Subject: Guruji's visit to NZ during Easter !

Art of Living New Zealand extends a very warm and heart-felt greeting to our
Art of Living Family world wide

New Zealand will shortly be blessed by a visit from our beloved Master, H.H.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji ('Guruji'), and we are delighted to be able to share
this experience with you all.

Guruji is in Auckland on April 5th 2010- Easter Monday (approximately 30 days
time!) for an action packed two day visit. Volunteers from all over NZ will be
visiting 'the Auckland-'City of Sails' for this special occasion and are busy
doing all they can to spread the word throughout their communities: to
politicians, community leaders, colleagues, family and friends.

The main focus of Guruji's New Zealand visit will be a huge public talk at
Trusts Stadium Arena in Henderson ,Waitakere on 5th April 6.00pm called
"Ancient Wisdom for Today's Challenges" .
The stadium has as a seating capacity of 5000 people and volunteers throughout
the Country are working around the clock to ensure that every seat of the
Stadium will be filled..

We would very much appreciate if you could encourage all your NZ-based
family/friends to attend the public talk and would be delighted if you would
join us at this auspicious event yourselves. Come on, make this event your
highlight for 2010!

Two ticketing prices are being offered for the public talk: NZ$25 for a general
seat or NZ$50 for a seat in the VIP area. Internet and telephone ticket sales
are available at www.ticketdirect.co.nz or by phoning (in NZ) 0800-4-TICKET.

We hope this newsletter reaches you all in great health and happiness and take
this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy Easter.

Jai Guru Dev, Your NZ Art of Living Family

Subject: First Time Ever in Ras Al Khaimah - Apoorva Sandhya with Rishi
Vidyadharji

On Sunday the 21st February 2010, the Art of Living – Ras Al Khaimah (one of
the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates), had the honour of organising &
hosting "Apoorva Sandhya with Rishi Vidyadharji" at Indian Association Hall
Ras Al Khaimah (RAK). This was a Unique Evening in every sense

The Festivities of the Enchanting Evening of 21st February 2010 commenced at
6.30pm with "Guru Pooja" conducted by Rishi Vidyadharji at the residence of
an AOL Volunteer. After this auspicious beginning, Rishi Vidyadharji was
escorted into the Indian Association Hall at 7.45pm - a crowd of around 300
people from different walks of life, which was a multi cultural mix from wide
and varied regions of India eagerly welcomed Rishiji.

The moment Rishi Vidyadharji, stepped onto the elegantly arranged stage,
Rishiji took charge of the entire proceedings and enthralled the jubilant
audience for the next 2 hours, with an ingenious mix of Bhajans, Knowledge &
Meditation. Rishiji commenced the session with a brief introduction to the
benefits of Yoga, Pranayama & Sudarshana Kriya Thereafter Rishiji enthralled
everyone with participative discussions on various topics like Stress,
Devotion, Prayers, Meditation, etc. This session was beautifully blended with
lively and sour stirring Bhajans by Rishiji, ably supported by the Audience &
AOL Volunteers. Rishiji also took the assembly through a deep Meditation. The
entire evening was indeed "Apoorva Sandhya" … unique and memorable for
all the participants, which left each and everyone craving for more and more.

The AOL RAK Team presented Rishi Vidyadharji with a Bouquet and Memento as a
token of Love and Gratitude for gifting us the "Apoorva Sandhya".

The AOL RAK team even managed to arrange for some light snacks for all.

For the dedicated team of AOL RAK Volunteers, organising this blissful event
within a brief time span of about 16 days has been a deep learning process and
experience. AOL RAK Team conveys its sincere appreciation and thanks for the
enduring Support, Guidance & Motivation received from Mrs. Vijaya Niranjan (our
beloved AOL Teacher, Abu Dhabi) & Capt. Fazal Shah (Mr. Fuzzy - IAHV Volunteer
& AOL Volunteer-DXB).

Last but not the least, our heartfelt gratitude to our beloved Guruji for
gifting us the company of Rishiji…
