Have you done Art of Living's DSN course?

If yes, then it's time to repeat!!! If no, then this is the best time to do

It is a great opportunity to change our "NO" mind to "YES".
Generally, we underestimate ourselves a lot, and in life's challenges.. .we
need to be dynamic with a 'all-time-winning- attitude' .

Divya Samaj Nirman (DSN) is a rigorous and transformational course, which has a
powerful combination of yoga, special meditations, breathing techniques and
group processes. It empowers participants to break through their personal
barriers and inspires in them greater personal activism and responsibility.

Guruji says we should be both dynamic as well as calm. Dynamism with calmness
is a good quality that one should imbibe. We need composure that is proactive
and in combination could give the right solution to any problem.

DSN Course presents an IPOD – Inner Peace and Outer Dynamism which makes us
so strong that nothing in this World can ever shake us. So when we get a chance
to do DSN - Don't Say No.

Unlock the hidden potential with DSN !!!

DSN - "Divine Shows New path" / "Do Smile Non stop" / "Don't Say No" / "Do
Something Now"

Time to Break our Barriers

Get Out of our Shell

Build up Courage and

See How Amazing We Are!!!*

Good things are to be grabbed soon, because NOW or NEVER!!!

This life transforming program will be conducted by international teacher,
Atika Dhandia. Atika is a dynamic and versatile trainer who conducts a range of

with Shri Mahesh Gireeji

Raipur (C.G) AWAKENED & AROUSED in Maha Navchetna Shivir & Mantranaad with Shri
Mahesh Gireeji
With the inspiration and encouragement of Pujya Gurudev Sri Sri RaviShankar ji;
his vision of reaching out to grassroots and inspiring them to help themselves
in breaking the vicious loop of self pity, low esteem and degeneration. Maha
Navchetna Shibirs, the brainwave of HH Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji, propels
participation of a common man in taking ownership of personal responsibility
towards Self and Nation Building.

The proud mother earth of Chhattisgarh is holding her head high as the city saw
a major makeover at the hands of its own sons and daughters of this soil. The
city saw a glimpse of Social Revolution – a peaceful revolution with
"Renaissance Man" – Shri Mahesh Gireeji who came to conduct the Maha
Navchetna Shivir and Mantranaad and left the city, awaken and aroused …to
take up the responsibility for their lives, for their motherland…Because only
the one is awakened, can awaken others!!!

From April 22nd to 26th the city Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh saw a
gigantic Maha Navchetna Shivir and Mantranaad with the Man on the Mission, Shri
Mahesh Gireeji.
And with a BIG YES! - The undeterred team of AOL Raipur took up the magnificent
challenge to grow leaps and bounce individually, and as a group. A team of more
than 200 volunteers empowered with renewed daily GROUP SADHANA, renewed beliefs
and recharged motivation after the Wake Up & Shake U with Shri Mahesh Gireeji,
have joined hands with teachers and organizers in reaching out to people and
places. And we could gather participation from all the sections of the society
from Satnami Samaj, Agrawal Samaj, Coolie Union, Autorickshaw Union, Home guard
Jawans, Students, citizens, classes and masses….AOL Raipur witnessed first
time in its history, such a colossal gathering of humanity learning Gyan,
Dhyan, Gaan & lessons on Swabhimaan…With Shri Mahesh Gireeji, it was simply
an awe-inspiring happening for all those who participated in Shivir leaving us
AWAKENED & AROUSED in SPIRIT! We are speechless…and no words can describe
what an impact it has left on our being!!! Being the State Teachers'
Co-ordinator of AOL Chhattisgarh, I can definitely say one thing, YES! There is
BIG Shift in our state of being…melted in love and light of the
Master!...with heightened spirits to take higher challenges!!! And having a
strong determination…a BIG YES to move forward on the path…
The Maha Navchetna Shivir at Raipur saw more than 10,000 participants…The way
Shri Mahesh Gireeji conducts the Shivir is absolutely captivating…He did not
allow for a single moment to escape the minds here and there…and most
importantly people enjoyed the Shivir to the fullest …perhaps many would
experienced such a joy and power in their lives for the first tiem!
The Maha Navchetna Shivirs are conducted by Shri Mahesh Gireeji with a clear
purpose of leading the Social Movement…throughout the Nation. And the last
day of the Shivirs, A SOCIAL AWARENESS CAMPAIGN is carried out under his
leadership…For Chhattisgarh, Water being the burning issue, the theme of the
Social Awareness Campaign was, "Save Water, Save Life – Jal Bachae, Jivan
Bachae"…In his unique way, Mahesh Gireeji inspired the participants to take
on the responsibility as a citizen to save water…everyone joined effortlessly
to clean one of the oldest Water Reservoir of the city – Vivekanand Sagar
popularly known as Budha Talaab…More than 4000 people were on the banks of
the Lake to clean the dirt, the garbage and ….It was spectacular scenario to
watch our modern generation taking on the task with the support of Raipur
Municipal Corporation…The Mayor of Raipur, Smt. Kiranmayee Nayak appreciated
and support the Campaign in all possible manner…Many Muncipal Councilors
joined the humungous task in collecting garbage of more than 15 dumpers..You

The Evening of 26th April 2010 was the day of Climax – the MANTRANAAD…with
more than 15,000 people taking vow on "not to support Naxalism, Terrorism or
violence, not to support corruption, not to support female feticide, not to
violate traffic rules, not to be a drug addict, vow to save Water and natural
resources, protect environment, keep the city clean, conserve and protect
Indian breeds of cow and seeds, use one's voting rights…" while lighting
candles! It was like history coming ALIVE with the Man on Mission…who says,
"I have a heart that beats for the Nation!"
Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, Dr. Raman Singh was the chief guest of the
occasion, who declared full support to AOL initiatives to Save Water and all
the good that it is doing for the society…He appreciated Mahesh Gireeji's
efforts to awaken the Nation in such a powerful way…Amongst the other
dignitaries present on the dais were, Mayor of Raipur, Smt. Kiranmayee Nayak,

- PEOPLE, the LOCAL MUNICIPAL CORPORATION & THE STATE GOVERNMENT and the MEDIA!

What more one can ask for! As for my parting words….We are left with a
distinctive kind of knowledge, a knowledge that works through love, through the
heart…..Pranaam at the lotus feet of Pujya Gurudev, who gave us this once in
a life-time opportunity to explore our true potential!

May is the time to celebrate and this year there will be a true celebration at
the beautiful ashram in Bad Antogast.

This year Sri Sri has again graced us with His presence for His birthday. This
special day, May 13th, also marks the start of a Birthday Advanced Course in
the presence of Sri Sri.

The course starts with lunch at the ashram, to ensure that sure you're
registered before 3 pm. Then everyone's off down to Oppenau at 4pm to enjoy
the Birthday Party with Guruji.

The celebration will continue for the next six days; meditations that balance
body and mind, the silence and peace of your beautiful home away from home and
golden satsangs with singing, dancing and celebration and our Guru's unique
mix of humour and profound knowledge.

Here is the link - http://courses.artofliving.eu/badantogast/login.aspx to

the summer. A great gift to yourself and the chance to offer your best birthday
wishes to Sri Sri.

Subject: Recording Healing Experiences - please share yours!


All of us who have done Art of Living Courses of various kinds and have been in
touch with the Master have experienced the power of Grace and Healing in our
lives.

However, this is not yet sufficiently widely known to society at large, as such
experiences have not been widely recorded over the years. In particular,
medical evidence of healing is not widely available, leading to scepticism in
many quarters.

Now, we seek to record healing experiences of all sorts in a big way. In this
endeavour, your experiences would be invaluable ! .. so, please send in your
healing experiences to us ! to aol.research@gmail.com

It would help a lot if the experience could be written in a reasonably compact
manner - about half-page to one-page. If its a healing of a physical or mental
ailment, it would help if there is a clear mention of the medical condition
before and after the Art of Living "treatment" (could be Ayurveda medicine or
treatment, Sudarshan Kriya, Advance Course, Blessing, a glance from the Master,
whatever ..). Keeping your - "before" and "after" - medical records is also
important. We may need to contact you for these records.

Along with the experience, you could send in your picture so that it can be put
up in the blog/ book. It could be a natural picture, performing an activity, a
profile picture, etc.
We would also like to have the following details -
Full name
Age
Occupation
City
Country

Many of these experiences will be put onto a site or blog on the internet. The
best experiences we hope to publish, in (one or more) books !

We look forward to hearing from you !

Jai Gurudev !

The Research Team.

Guruji on Partying!

Q: I'm in my 20's. My friends head to the bar in the evenings – hanging
out and drinking till late in the night. Why do we depend so much on alcohol?

Q: How can young people be persuaded to celebrate without alcohol? No Guruji is
hovering around them to guide them this.

Subject: GURUJI's Birthday Special DSN " Blessed by GURUJI " with Anand
Rajendran Ji in Hari Nagar, New Delhi

Many of us live in the world of dreams and aspirations. Aspiring to be somebody
that you always wanted to be. Dreams, of achieving something big. Will they
remain just dreams? Will Aspirations die a slow death because of inhibitions
and barriers around us?

DROP YOUR WORRIES !!! WITH ART OF LIVING.... THE ONLY THING THAT DIES IS
NEGATIVITY!

Give life to your dreams.. Give momentum to your aspirations. – DSN is the
door to "MAKE YOUR DREAMS A REALITY AND YOUR ASPIRATIONS A POSSIBILITY "

There is no bigger competition in this world for you than – YOURSELF!

Feelings of being inferior to someone, Shy to open up and speak your mind, fear
of obstacles on the path - ALL THESE EXISTS WITHIN US. NOT OUTSIDE.

How to get rid of this monkey off our back?? How do we boldly walk away from
the demon of inhibitions and obstacles that block our way to fulfilling our
dreams.

I got 3 words for you – "DIVYA SAMAJ NIRMAN"

DSN is not just about creating a divine society. Remember each and every one of
us either make or break this society. DSN makes you much stronger mentally,
physically and spiritually.

Bid goodbye to all your mental blocks.. Awaken the sleeping lion within you.

Remember Guruji's says – "Virtues that you admire in others are there in each
one of us. We just need to realize it and nurture them ".

Nurture your Virtues through the DSN. DO THE DSN NOW ! ! !

Who better to do the DSN with – than our very own "LIFE CHARMER " World
Renowned International Teacher Anand Rajendran Ji.

Anand ji is coming to help you live life the way you always wanted to......
From the Originator of Delhi Dhamaka DSN.... Here comes another......

DELHI DHAMAKA DSN < in Fully AIR-CONDITIONED Hall >

Dates : 13 -16 May 2010 , Reporting on 13 May 2010 at 04:45pm < SHARP >

Back to nature - Sri Sri

Ancient scriptures have it that human beings have five sheaths: the
environment, the physical body, the mind, the intuitive sheath and the fifth
sheath is purushartha, i.e., the blissful state. The environment is our first
body and one of the most important sheaths. If our environment is clean and
positive, it has a positive impact on all the other sheaths and they are in
balance.

A rotation that will keep you at peace - Sri Sri
DNA, 2nd May, 2010

Our life is governed by three gunas (subdivisions): satwa, rajas and tamas.
When satwa increases, awareness, knowledge, wisdom, happiness, joy, evenness,
calmness, all these increase in life. When rajas increases, restlessness,
desires, and craving begin. It brings a little bit of sadness too. And when
tamas reigns, dullness, sleep, dejection and lethargy surface.

Bangalore Ashram team is happy to announce series of much awaited special
commentaries on the ASHTAVAKRA GITA (in Hindi) directly by Guruji.

Now that ashram is fully booked and ashram is getting numerous enquiries for
ASHTAVAKRA GITA and accommodation, Sumeru Travel Solutions (STS) based out of
the Ashram, has blocked a hotel (about 7-8 KMs away from ashram, in Air
conditioned room) to accommodate devotees.

The Ashtavakra Gita : The most unique conversation that has ever taken place on
this earth…H.H.Sri Sri Ravishankarji

The Ashtavakra Gita documents the unveiling of the highest knowledge in the
form of a dialogue between the sage Ashtavakra and the wise King Janaka many
thousands of years ago. It is one of the most profound discourses that exists.
H. H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar shows how, step-by-step, King Janaka is taken to
deeper levels of understanding and how we too can apply this knowledge to our
own lives.


Package includes:

The Washington Post

You cannot measure the amount of energy inside an atom. Similarly, you cannot
measure the full potential of a human being. The nature of a human being is
quite similar to that of an atom. The core of an atom is positive. The
negatively charged particles are only on the periphery of the atom. Similarly,
the negativity of a person is not their true nature; it is just on the
periphery.

Subject: GURUJI's Birthday Special DSN " Blessed by GURUJI " with Anand
Rajendran Ji in Hari Nagar, New Delhi


Many of us live in the world of dreams and aspirations. Aspiring to be somebody
that you always wanted to be. Dreams, of achieving something big. Will they
remain just dreams? Will Aspirations die a slow death because of inhibitions
and barriers around us?

DROP YOUR WORRIES !!! WITH ART OF LIVING.... THE ONLY THING THAT DIES IS
NEGATIVITY!

Give life to your dreams.. Give momentum to your aspirations. – DSN is the
door to "MAKE YOUR DREAMS A REALITY AND YOUR ASPIRATIONS A POSSIBILITY "

There is no bigger competition in this world for you than – YOURSELF!

Feelings of being inferior to someone, Shy to open up and speak your mind, fear
of obstacles on the path - ALL THESE EXISTS WITHIN US. NOT OUTSIDE.

How to get rid of this monkey off our back?? How do we boldly walk away from
the demon of inhibitions and obstacles that block our way to fulfilling our
dreams.

I got 3 words for you – "DIVYA SAMAJ NIRMAN"

DSN is not just about creating a divine society. Remember each and every one of
us either make or break this society. DSN makes you much stronger mentally,
physically and spiritually.

Bid goodbye to all your mental blocks.. Awaken the sleeping lion within you.

Remember Guruji's says – "Virtues that you admire in others are there in each
one of us. We just need to realize it and nurture them ".

Nurture your Virtues through the DSN. DO THE DSN NOW ! ! !

Who better to do the DSN with – than our very own "LIFE CHARMER " World
Renowned International Teacher Anand Rajendran Ji.

Anand ji is coming to help you live life the way you always wanted to......
From the Originator of Delhi Dhamaka DSN.... Here comes another......

Subject: Talks on Yogasara Upanishads by Kamleshji, Mumbai

Last week, the city of Mumbai was graced by the presence of a dynamic SSY
teacher, Kamleshji. Besides taking a Sri Sri Yoga Course, she also gave a
series of talks on the Yogasara Upanishads. There was also an interesting
interactive session that captivated the audience and left all wanting
more......

Here is some feedback.

"Mesmerized n Spellbound, is how I felt when Kamleshji spoke on YogaSara
Upanishad. She takes the devotees to another level altogether. Her simplicity,
her command over the language, her total surrender and merging when speaking on
YogaSara Upanishad was one of the most divine experiences during the knowledge
sessions.
The first day we heard the Krishna-Gopis-Uddhav story, of how all talks of
knowledge failed to impress the gopis dunken in Krishna's love. Oh' so true !
All else pales when in love with the divine! Next day we were treated to the
simple but profound revelations of how the thought is formed... The one thing
responsible for all our misery... By this time most of us were crying at the
profoundness of what was shared so simply... At this moment it felt like
Kamleshji had ceased to be there and the Guru Parampara had taken over. Like a
mild elecric shock many of us felt goose pimples... Day three took us beyond
the wrapping paper to a plane of love, surrender and celebration !! A few
sessions on Yog Sara Upanishad by Kamleshji is a must in every place that she
goes !" - Nanda B

"The talks were simply beautiful. Her explanation about why we need to do kriya
every day, made a deep impact on my mind." Radhika M

Subject: MEDUCON Conference for schools - The Art of Living in collaboration
with UNESCO

In recent years, we have been trying to reach out to many educational
institutions through The Art of Living. Here is an opportunity to reach the
Educational Institutions, Policy Makers and Media through MEDUCON organized by
The Art of Living in collaboration with UNESCO. MEDUCON stands for Media and
EDUcation CONference. We will be organizing these conferences across 190
countries.

The objective of these conferences is to debate the influence of Media on
Education and see how Media can be used in a positive way to educate. Through
these conferences, we can influence policies in the Government and arrive at
series of actions which can be implementable in the educational institutions.

Since UNESCO is involved, Educational Institutions, Media and Policy Makers
will be keen to participate in these conferences.

Variety of topics right from looking at the new models of learning and
communication tools to how media and communication can be exploited to give
quality education across rural and under-privileged areas will be discussed.
Case studies of successful and innovative practices will be presented.

Here is how you can participate:

1. You can organize conferences in your state/district/community

2. Be a volunteer

3. If you are already associated with a school, you can get your school to
register for the conference.

As Albert Einstein put it rightly "The significant problems we face cannot be
solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." You
will be part of creating a new platform and a new framework which will make a
difference.

If you are interested in making a difference, please visit the website and
register. We will get back to you with more details.
