Subject: I lost 16 kg and regained my college looks back
I got information regarding ayurvedic cooking course of Art of Living in my
neighbourhood. The course duration was just six days, two hours daily. Me
being working, the short duration of the course appealed to me. I joined the
course and a revolution happened.
All my logics and pre-notions were thrown upside down. A very different and
clearer vision appeared regarding food and food habits.
Although I could not imbibe all the knowledge spread out in that short
course but I tried to inculcate to my maximum all the new cooking methods
and recipes.
Around the world most of the cooking courses are of much longer duration but
none of them is so revolutionary. Steam cooking was a revelation. Steam
cooked food had high nutrition value (high prana level) and filled the
stomach with a small quantity.
My husband and children accepted the changes slowly and gradually. I reduced
my weight by 16 kgs and got my college days looks back. Though I am 43 I
started looking and feeling much younger. I feel more energetic, flexible
and lighter.
Earlier I used to keep 2 fulltime domestic helps but these cooking methods
are so easy and quick that I don't require any fulltime help. Less use of
oil, butter and ghee has made my kitchen more hygienic, less greasy and
soot-free.
Moreover, the attractive packaging of tamsik food available in the market
used to lure me to indulge but after understanding their harmful effects my
mind is able to overcome these temptations.
My husband lost 15 kgs of weight in a short span of 3 months without any
side effects. He used to take regular medicine for High Blood Pressure. Now
he has stopped taking any medicines. Moreover, he was a light sleeper but
after changing to ayurvedic food he sleeps soundly. Also, he feels more
energetic and focused throughout the day, and is able to overcome his daily
business related stress and anxiety very well. He feels the food is more
tasty, varied, nutritious, and wholesome.
I am happy that my children have stopped eating junk food and eat healthy
and nutritious food. The satvik food has improved our mental, emotional and
spiritual wellbeing. It has made our skin more soft and smoother. My
children are also enjoying the new cooking processes and taking part in it
whole heartedly. My elder son is presently doing the same course.
The high prana and satvik level of food has brought around a new warmth,
glow, love and affection in the family. - Geeta Jain

Subject: World Culture Festival Berlin - more than you think
IT IS SO MUCH MORE
"Let the silence speak of a peace you seek. Feel the love divine – for every
shining star tells you who we are in the grand design". Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
"The one who works alone, adds – those who work together, multiply". Unknown
As we are preparing to be present at the World Cultural Festival in Berlin
in July, I want to share with you my personal reflections on the importance
and significance of this important opportunity for us all.
I remember the state of my mind many years ago. I was worried most of the
time, not only about my own personal future but also the future of mankind.
Whenever I met a happy person, I thought this person had to be an egoist. I
just could not understand how anyone could be happy in the face of tragedy,
pollution, conflict and misery. It felt most natural to be depressed.
Today, it looks very different. No, not the headlines and not mankind's
prospects of survival, but the way I see our role in all of it. It was not
until after my first Art of Living course in 1987 (one year after Chernobyl)
that I realised that I was not really changing anything by being depressed.
What I was doing instead was adding my own fear and worries to the already
heavily burdened collective consciousness.
It is no secret that we are all connected and influence each other by our
actions and non-actions alike. Strike a tuning fork and you will find that
any other tuning fork placed within a fair distance will start vibrating
sound as well. Similarly, our moods affect the world around us. No matter
whether we are happy or unhappy, it is contagious. Awareness of this fact
will make us want to take more responsibility – for our own lives, that of
others and that of the planet.
Yes, the World Culture Festival in Berlin in July will be celebrating Art of
Living's 30th birthday. But it is so much more than that. Choosing a venue
in the heart of Europe where war and destruction were ignited in the past is
no coincidence. For us today, it is an exceptional opportunity to come
together and send a different message – one of light and peace, acceptance
and tolerance, knowledge and love. Imagine people from all over the world
coming together from different cultural and religious backgrounds and
setting an example, celebrating harmony in diversity and taking
responsibility for peace and joy in the world.
Back in early 1989 I attended a silence retreat with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in
Timmendorfer Strand in the north of Germany. When we broke silence after a
week, he appeared very pleased and I will not forget what he said: "Your
silence and meditation has helped to bring down the wall." I remember
feeling honoured, but to be honest, it sounded completely over the top. I
had grown up in a divided Germany and anyone predicting that the wall would
come down peacefully any time soon would have been considered a dreamer (at
its best!). But then, just a year later we saw that the wall had come down
and Germany was on its way to be reunited.
70,000 people meditating together – do not underestimate the effect this
will have on the collective consciousness. This is a very important
contribution that we can make. Also if we can encourage others we may know
from other faiths and practices to join us, this would be a significant step
towards harmony and unity at this pivotal time for the world.
The festival in Berlin should be seen in this light. It is a major chance to
enliven the collective consciousness with impulses of harmony and positivity
and create an awareness for the vital role Yoga and spirituality can play in
building and preserving peace.
I will be in Berlin. Let's be there together – and make a difference.

Subject: Sri Sri Yoga with Kashi Bhaiyya in Banashankari, Bangalore
We would like to invite you to Sri Sri Yoga course in South Bangalore with
our very own Kashi Bhaiyya. Usually, when Kashi bhaiya takes there are
hundreds of people in open field, but imagine doing this course with him in
a smaller and close group. Luckily Kashi bhaiya has obliged to take the
course even though it will be a small batch of just 100 people.
Recently Swami Bramhatej was sharing an experience of some non AOL Yoga
teachers who tried Sri Sri Yoga just out of curiosity. Apparently they said
"We just teach Asanas but there is something else here people are getting
into Samadhi ". Swamiji said we know what that something else is, it is
Grace. Come experience the Grace!!
Venue – Our School, Banshankari 2nd Stage, Near BNM College
Dates – 11th April to 15th April
Timings – 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
Fee: Rs 350
Contact: 98453 77960, 97390 01337
Limited seats. We may not have spot registrations if the hall capacity is
reached. If you are new to Art of Living and don't know about Kashi bhaiya
here are few words about this wonderful Yogi.
About the Teacher – Sri. Dinesh Kashikar After completing a Masters in
Chemical Engineering from IIT Bombay, Dinesh has devoted the last 15 years
of his life to spreading the teachings of His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
He has travelled widely from Tokyo to Paris, teaching yoga and training yoga
teachers. He brings a unique style of teaching yoga which incorporates the
traditional knowledge of the scriptures blended with the objectivity of
modern science.
