SO WHaT stands for (S)PREADING (O)XYGEN, (W)ISDOM, (H)ARMONY (A)ND
(T)OGETHERNESS!
So what's special about SO WHaT?
Nothing really - just that we all share one thing in common - we say SO WHAT
to anything that stops us from taking time out for SO-HUM!
It being that time in the year when we would all rather snuggle up under our
blankets and snooze the morning alarm, we figured why not do our morning
Sadhana (spiritual practices) together? Did you know that by meditating
everyday we are not only serving ourselves, we also serve our families
(seven generations up and down!), communities and the planet? In fact, the
day we meditate is the day we are truly awake! Of course, we can't always
gather at one place every single day but we sure can meditate together from
wherever we are - like distance education, we can also enroll for distance
Group Sadhana! All you need to do is:
For the next 40 days starting 7th January 2012 from wherever in the world
you are.
Wake up early enough so you can shower, clean your bowels and start Sadhana
at 6 a.m.
Do your Sadhana* until 7:30 a.m.
On the rare occasion that you miss a day, drop your friends at SO WHaT! an
email saying so and renew your commitment for the next day.
* We will start our Sadhana with a light warm up (you can decide what you
want to do) followed by Padmasadhana (Aasanas + 1st round of Naadi Shodhan
pranayama + Om Namah Shivaya chanting + 2nd round of Nadi Shodhan pranayama)
followed by Sudarshan Kriya (3 Stage Pranayama + Bhastrika + Om + Sudarshan
Kriya).
You are more than welcome to share your experiences with us and inspire us -
we promise not to laugh! J
So if you're game for SO WHaT, drop us an email saying so at
groupsadhana@googlegroups.com following which we will send you an
invitation. Once you accept the invitation you're part of us!
Remember, the next time your mind says "OH! I wish I could sleep some more."
Or "OH! It's 5 'o' clock already!!???" just throw out your blanket, sit up
in your bed and say "SO WHAT!"
Here's saying goodbye to 2011. Wish you a wonderful 2012. May we always move
forward in love and commitment!
Jai Gurudev!

Subject: Mega Sahaj Samadhi Meditation Course in Chennai With Dr. Manikantan
What is Sahaj Samadhi Meditation?
Meditation is universal. It transcends all divides like religion, country
and culture. It is a gift given to mankind to access the infinite spirit not
limited by any identity. It is the only tool that can aid a person to return
to innocence.
Modern life style has high exposure to anger, hate, fear and other negative
emotions. These human emotions have a high tendency to duplicate and spread.
For example, when a person gets cheated, he starts to suspect everything
around him. This also has an impact on people around him. These emotions
form strong impressions and opinions on an individual and social level. The
result of which is an insecure individual and an unstable society.
Meditation helps an individual overcome these emotions to facilitate a calm
peaceful mind and a healthy and stress free body. Upon daily practice an
individual will blossom into an unshakable personality. With increase in the
number of people who are clam, peaceful and healthy will facilitate a social
transformation, enabling a society that is trusting, happy and content.
All of us really feel blessed to be with Poojya Gurudev for even few moments
In our lives. Imagine the amount of bliss and energy a person will get when
he/she is with Guruji for years together.
Dr. Manikantan has been with Guruji for more than the past 15 years. He is
also one of the most versatile singers in the organization.
Guruji has indicated that this year is the year of happiness and the year to
meditate. Hence, HE has instructed all of us to bring lots of people into
the path of knowledge. Starting with Chennai, lets spread the wave of
knowledge to huge number of people in this city in 2012.
We are very fortunate enough to have such a senior most teacher with us in
Chennai for this Sahaj. Hence, lets all utilize this opportunity to soak
ourselves in Dhyaan, Gnaan and Gaan

Subject: Wanted to share my experience of IWC n Invite U
A personal Note from my side. I was there for
the conference last year in Bali & it was a wonderful experience . I made
new friends, I met women from diverse cultures & different countries. It
was great learning & knowing new people. We had Women from
Pakistan,Iran,Italy, Russia,Dubai.....& I wondered why we Indian women are
loosing this opportunity to be a part of this conference. We have no clue
how well this conference is planned & organized & how Bhanu Didi puts in so
much effort for us to have the best. All the funds collected; that we pay as
fees is used to fund projects in villages & women empowerment . You can go
through the details in the brochure attached. My Invitation is all Women
teachers of Art Of Living,our friends & our extended family should not miss
being a part of this prestigious conference. I am not very good in writing,
but I just felt the need to share and express . We have a special package
for teachers, pls avail it. GURUJI is going to be there too during those
days. I remember one night we had a Jam session with Usha Uttap & we danced
with all dignitaries & Bhanu Didi till late , it was so good I can't tell
you. We had loads of fun last time & also got a Goodie Bag with small gifts
from Bhanu Didi when we left as a token of love. The team this time has
planned a very good Menu / comfortable stay / excellent speakers.......much
more. We are also giving the participant a part I or SSY course during the

Subject: 2012 SINGERS TO USHER THE YEAR OF HAPPINESS IN NORTHERN SRILANKA
2012 singers to usher in the Year of Happiness in Northern Sri Lanka
In what is seen as the most optimistic prediction and a much-needed blessing
for humanity His Holiness Sri Ravi Shankar`s message for the New Year has
already brought tons of cheer and hope to millions across the world. Sri
Sri opens his New Year message on a brilliantly inspiring note thus " In
your personal life have a strong conviction , the faith that all is well
and all good is going to happen to me". Putting aside the much touted
doomsday story that the world is coming to an end, Sri Sri goes on to say
"According to the Vedic calendar from March 2012 onwards the year is called
`Nanda` meaning happiness .the year of happiness. First comes happiness and
the year that follows is called victory. You will be happy and victorious,
so don't` worry. Resolve to do some good work in society".
Inspired by Sri Sri`s vision and mission , the Art of Living Foundation
in Sri Lanka is organizing a grand choir of 2012 people to sing the most
revered Tamil devotional poetry called Thevaram on February 11th and 12th .
This program is to be held for the first time in Jaffna and Vadamarachi
towns of Northern Sri Lanka. Several thousand students, youth, artists
and dignitaries are expected to participate which would be the first mega
public event in Northern Sri Lanka since the conclusion of the war in May
2009.
The Thevaram is the most cherished and popular tamil devotional poetry
embedded with spiritual teachings. In Tamil "Theva" means The Divine and
"aram" denotes a beautiful garland, representing the first seven volumes of
the Tirumurai, the twelve-volume collection of Tamil Saivite devotional
poetry. All seven volumes are dedicated to the works of the three most
prominent Tamil poets known as Nayanars - Sambanthar and Appar lived around
the 7th century AD, while Sundarar lived in the 8th century AD. During the
Pallava period these three poets travelled extensively delivering discourses
and songs characterized by devotion to Lord Shiva.
"All the hymns in the Thevaram (called pathikam in Tamil) are in sets of
ten. The hymns are set to music denoted by Panns and are part of the canons
of Tamil music " shares Swami Sadyojathah, Director, Art of Living
International Office. This unique event is also expected to see the
participation of admirers of Tamil literature and music from Europe,
Malaysia, US and India.
