Sri Sri Yoga Level 2 in Germany, Bad Antogast

26th Sept. (7:00 pm) to 30th Sept. (6 pm)

31st Oct. (7:00 pm) to 4th Nov. (6 pm)

As yoga enthusiasts many of us are on the lookout for a yoga course that can
help us explore the depths of yoga - from phi-losophy to practice. Sri Sri
Yoga Level 1 introduces us to the techniques of asana, pranayama, and
meditation; while Sri Sri Yoga Level 2 gives us an opportunity to go deeper
into the realm of yoga and understand what it means to live like a yogi!

Advanced yoga does not have to necessarily mean difficult yoga. Here we get
a thorough exploration of yoga postures, ancient yogic knowledge, breathing
and meditation in a gentle yet profound, celebrative and joyful retreat
setting.

There will be two Sri Sri Yoga Level 2 courses organized in Bad Antogast:
one at the end of September in the presence of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (Sri Sri
will be present 2 days) - 26th Sept. (7:00 pm) to 30th Sept. (6 pm) and
another one at the very end of October and the beginning of November - 31st
Oct. (7:00 pm) to 4th Nov. (6 pm)

Prerequisites: 1) Art of Breathing (Part 1) Course or the YES!+ Course 2)
Sri Sri Yoga Level 1

Registration and more information at https://secure2.artofliving.org/courses

info@artofliving.de or call us at 0049780497390.

Subject: The most precious thing in the world

August 30, 2012

Brazil, South America



Now I am going to ask you a very serious question:
Do you really greet a person or treat it as a formality?

See, on a day to day basis, we greet people, we exchange pleasantries. It is
all on a very formal level. Isn't it so?

When someone brings a glass of water, we say, 'Thank you so much.'
That 'so much' has no meaning.
If you are in the Sahara desert, and you are really very thirsty and someone
brings you a glass of water and you say, 'Thank you so much', it is
authentic.
So, in life, when we deal only on a superficial level all the time and when
we lack the depth, then life feels very dry and meaningless.
We must shift to another level, of authenticity, sincerity, and a genuine
connection from heart to heart. That is what I call spirituality.
Spirituality is when you relate from the authenticity of your existence.
As children we were all doing that.

Do you remember when you were a baby, the whole planet, the whole universe
was so alive. The moon was talking, the trees were talking and the animals
were talking. There was a natural conversation between you and the entire
universe. Do you remember?
Have you seen the children in cartoons? Even trees talk to them. It is a
different world.

Now the question is, can we still maintain that innocence and at the same
time reach the height of intelligence?
I say, 'Yes, we can. '
Intelligence and innocence together is the most precious thing in the world.
There are people who are intelligent and crooked, and it is easy to be
innocent and ignorant. But what is really preferred is the education that
can bring intelligence yet maintain the innocence.

So, now that we are at home and feeling absolutely informal, what topic do
you want me to speak on tonight?

(Audience: Love; Birth; Forgiveness; Relationship; Decisions; God;
Corruption and peace; Compassion; Anger; Fear; Capitalism; Hope; Patience. )

You want me to talk on patience? I will do it next year. And then.

Tell me, does it really matter on what topic we speak on tonight?
You know, we convey more through our presence than our words. Isn't that so?
Does it really matter what we speak?

The world is all just vibrations.
If you talk to your physicist, he will say the whole universe is nothing but
a wave function. Each one of us are nothing but waves.
If you are in touch with your centre, the waves are positive. If you are not
in touch with your centre and have gotten caught up, then your waves become
negative.

Peace, love, compassion, all these are our true waves; our real waves
without distortion. They are the positive vibrations that come from us.
When you get angry, upset, negative, what do you do? You need to change that
into positive. But nobody has taught us how to do this, neither at home nor
at school. Isn't it so? Grandmother must have told us, 'Go to the corner and
count ten', that is it. Counting ten or hundred does not help these days.

If you observe your mind, your mind is angry about the past or anxious about
the future. Both are of no use. Isn't it? What is the point in being angry
about the past, it is gone already. And what is the point in being anxious
about the future? It is meaningless.
Now that which helps you to come to the present moment is meditation.

See, if people know how to meditate for even few minutes, ten minutes every
day, then they can get rid of stress and feel happy.
My vision is to see a violence free society, disease free body, confusion
free mind, inhibition free intellect, trauma free memory and sorrow free
soul. This is my vision. How many of you like to join this vision? (Everyone
is the audience raises their hands).

We should give a better world to our children and to the future generations.
We should give them a world which has more love, which has more compassion,
and a world in which there is no gun culture.
Our children do not need a culture of drugs, or a culture of violence, they
deserve a more loving, humane and compassionate society. A healthier
society. Don't you think so? Then that is what we need to work towards.

Q: What is our mission on Earth?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: What is not our mission on Earth, we should make a
list of that first. Your mission is not to be miserable and make others
miserable, correct?!
Now if you go on eliminating what is not your mission, you will in the end
come to what is your mission.

Q: If others are feeling negative, how not to get affected by that?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: You be more centered and leave a little room for
imperfection. Sometimes we don't leave room for imperfection and so we get
affected.
If someone is negative, they have right to be negative for some time. Let
them be. Give them some space. And I tell you, I am here to collect all your
worries. So give me all your troubles, problems and worries.
I want to see an unfading smile on your face.

Q: Can we control feelings?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: We can transcend feelings easily when we know that
there is something which is much more basic to life than feelings, and that
is the self; the life force, which is not changing at all.

Q: How to know the difference between love and desire/lust?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: In love the other is important, in lust, you are
important.

Q: Dear Gurudev, how can I help people who have a lot of resistance in their
minds?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: In the world, there are different types of people. We
should accept them all as they are. There are people with resistance. It is
okay. Let them walk at their own speed.
On this planet there are rabbits, there are deer, and there are snails. So
you can't expect a snail to run like a rabbit, isn't it?
Let someone walk at a snail's pace even though others are running like deer.
That is how the world is. Keep smiling and keep moving.

Q: I have difficulty in forgiving people.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Don't forgive them, and then see if it is easier?
If you don't forgive somebody, you will keep thinking about them all the
time.
Is it really easy to hold on to anger towards somebody? My goodness, so much
energy of ours gets wasted in it. Do you know why you forgive others? It is
for your own sake.

When you see a culprit also as a victim, you will easily be able to forgive
them.
Every culprit is a victim of ignorance; small mindedness. They don't know
the magnanimity and beauty of life and so they do these silly mistakes of
being self centered and not caring for others. It is because their mind is
small. So we need to forgive them.
Then, you need to see that they never had an opportunity to think big and
feel big like you did. So, you can only be compassionate towards them and
forgive them.
