Subject: Sri Sri Natya at Dwarka, Delhi
Sri Sri Natya is an unique course designed by Poojya Guruji and experience
of people who has done this course is simply amazing and mind blowing (see
participants' experiences below).
Sri Sri Natya is all about experiencing peace, joy, serenity and healing
effect in the form of dance and music without having pre-knowledge of any
form of dance. Yoga and Meditation happens automatically.
The participants simply fall in love with the course.
Little detail about Sri Sri Natya is as follows:
The Five Days Course consists of 2 hr sessions on each day
And offers beautiful experiences through a combination of Dance, Music,
Yogasanas and Meditation.
All living beings have a natural tendency to express joy via movement, it is
especially the case with human beings, dance being an expression of joy.
The precise purpose behind Sri Sri Natya is to enable one and all to
experience the joy of movement, or dance; and the healing effects of music.
Sri Sri Natya enables one to enjoy the language of Indian classical art
forms. This workshop is meant to help one leave behind day to day life, and
enter a world that is surreal. A beautiful Journey to have Blissful
Experience
The very idea of this workshop is to help one and all appreciate classical
art forms, and to help everyone explore the spirit of dance and music, which
is bliss.
It is a joy to watch 100 - 150 people sway to music and learn to express
themselves through the language of Dance.
EXPERIENCE OF PARTICIPANTS OF SRI SRI NATYA
People share their experiences –
Ø It was indeed a once in a lifetime experience. I thoroughly enjoyed all
5 days, a totally different sort of enjoyment than experienced by me so far.
It made me feel very young at heart (though I am 50 now). I felt very light
and my heart was filled with enthusiasm and happiness. I never would have
imagined that I will be dancing at this age in front of everybody without
even the slightest inhibition. The course was so effective that it helped
all of us totally unwind ourselves, forget all our worries, and I can
definitely say had a therapeutic effect in the stressful life most of us are
leading these days.– Mythili Sridhar
Ø Sri Sri Natya was one of the best gifts that I have received in my life.
On the very second day of the course, I experienced absolute bliss and
realised the "SHIVA" within me – Lavanya Subramanian
Ø I was hesitant in the beginning as I am a BP patient. My Blood Pressure
is quite normal now, and the heaviness in my chest has gone. I feel very
active and enthusiastic. – Seshadri Jois
Ø I begin by saying that this is THE MUST DO COURSE FOR ALL AoL MEMBERS!
When we dance to the tune of songs and music in yogic postures with divinity
in mind, a flash came to me to realise that I am indeed divine. - Ravi
Anantha Padmanaban
Ø I have no words to say about the fantabulous Sri Sri Natya course I did
during this Navaratri at the ashram. Such overwhelming joy, that I just
can't express. Tears of joy roll down just even at the thought of it. –
Bindu
Ø The course was simply awesome. The apt word would be "heart touching". I
miss Sri Sri Natya now. I really wish I could dance daily. I have done many
Art of Living courses but I must tell you, Sri Sri Natya is the best.
Blissful!! Saying in one word in Malayalam it was "Adi poli" – Srijith Nair

Subject: Guruji's interview carrried byRediff.com
'I will not support anybody adopting any form of violence'
First Gandhian Anna Hazare and then yoga guru Baba Ramdev -- a fast appears
to be an effective way of getting the government to do things.
Spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has been vocal about these movements
and even managed to convince Baba Ramdev to call off his fast.
In an interview with rediff.com's Vicky Nanjappa, the Art of Living founder
says that even though he supports the cause, he would never support anybody
who resorts to violence. Here's the transcript.
Baba Ramdev had spoken of starting an army of his own. Do you subscribe to
that view?
Absolutely not. I will not support anybody adopting any form of violence or
taking the law into their own hands.
There is talk of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh being behind the Ramdev
movement. Your views on this.
I do not know. I have never gone to their fast or their programme. I am not
in touch with them on that issue. So I cannot comment.
Could you suggest methods through which citizens can raise their voice in
protest or is hunger strike the only way?
There are many ways to protest. People can protest and hold dharnas. Hunger
strike is one aspect that will work when people at the helm of affairs are
sensitive. Ballot is another way to protest. I feel all protests should be
non-violent and non-instigative. They should be done without hatred or
vengeance.
Do you think the country is going through a change? Are people becoming
impatient?
Change is the constant thing that keeps happening. You cannot categorise a
country of 1.2 billion with one sort of emotion. There are people of various
emotions, attitudes and tendencies.
Do you think that both Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev have political ambitions?
I am not here to comment on their ambitions. You have to ask them about
that. As far as I am concerned, everyone should join hands together and see
that the country is out of the rut it is facing.
What plans does Art of Living have in future to fight issues such as
corruption?
The Art of Living has been supporting Anna Hazare from day one and it will
continue support to any movement, which is progressive and non-violent. Art
of Living will support any organisation, which fights for a just cause. We
are engaged in educating and reforming the people.
Art of Living works at three levels:
* While creating awareness among the civil society in satsangs, which
millions of people attend, we also take a vow not to support or indulge in
corruption.
* Our youth volunteers approach the government officials and put a sticker
on their tables saying, 'I will not take bribe'. This is on the bureaucratic
level.
* Through its programmes, the Art of Living creates a sense of belongingness
and basically works on changing mindsets of people, reforming them in the
prisons, at workplace, schools and colleges. It is stress, narrow mindedness
and lack of vision about life that makes one go into criminal activity.
The Art of Living is engaged in creating a sense of security and
transforming the way people look at life. In all these ways, we contribute
for bringing the much needed change in society.
At the same time, we are also actively engaged in educating people against
corruption and its prevention. The Art of Living also does not hesitate to
join other movements who stand up against or fight corruption. We believe
more in reform and education rather than in fighting.
Do you think that all our leaders should undergo a course in the Art of
Living. Will such an exercise change their perspective towards our country?
Certainly! It has moved millions to change their mindsets and their
lifestyles. Definitely, our politicians and bureaucrats also need this.
What is the spiritual road our politicians should take in order to be better
leaders and also be non-corrupt?
They should do satsangs like Mahatma Gandhi did every day. They should feel
themselves as servants of people rather than as somebody big trying to rule
and control the people.
They should lead a simple lifestyle with one vision -- giving a better
future and a better nation to the coming generations.
