I was consumed with an intense desire to visit the Bangalore Ashram to do a Part 2 course with Gurudev. This happened almost instantly, the Ashram (Heaven on earth) with 3500 + participants, seva in the Kitchen innards, the Cowshed, the Gardens, Sumeru Mantap, Vishalakshi Mandap, the Elephants, lakes, all drew my breath away.
Last year I went to Ashram for Winter Break (YES+ Advance) with Bawa and Dinesh Bhaiya. I started my journey from Delhi with 25 friends and we enjoyed this to the fullest.
The International Bloggers Conference is one of the best mediums for upcoming blogger enthusiasts who would like to share their views, thoughts and opinions to a wide range of audiences across the world.
For me, my family is everything. My sister’s kids are my kids. I want them to be good human beings and ardent followers of Guruji.
Since my childhood, I have been very spiritual. I am a devotee of Lord Shiva, but there was something which was lacking.
Recently, when Guruji had come to Poona, I had a burning desire to meet him. I had gone for the event with a lot of hope and excitement.
I don’t believe in Miracles; I rely on them. It was February 2011 and all were volunteering for the upcoming YES!+ course to be taken by Bawa and Dinesh bhaiya which was followed by YES!+ DSN and Sahaj Samadhi Course.
Being with Guruji has been like a blessing and dream come true. During Seva, many Nav Chetana Shibirs came my way, and I had the privilege to do 9 shibirs back to back in a span of three months.
I am one of the most fortunate people who got the opportunity to do advance course in Bangalore ashram IN THE PRESENCE OF BELOVED GURUJI.
In engineering college, I used to avoid interactions with teaching staff and other students except chosen few in order to hide my ailment.
There was a time in my life when the only thing that used to go on in my mind; how to commit suicide.
Jai Guru Dev I joined Art of Living in 2001. After the course, I started practicing the Kriya daily but in 2003, both my kidneys got damaged and then I had to start dialysis at least twice a week and sometimes also thrice.
I really don’t know where to start from when it comes to sharing miracle stories because they are endless. Life itself is a MIRACLE after meeting Guruji.
The following is a miraculous experience shared by Capt Brij Paul Singh an Art of Living teacher. This is another miracle of Gurudevs Kripa (Grace).
It was a hot summer after noon and I was with an Art of Living teacher’s residence for lunch. One teacher said- “Isn’t it hot and humid today?” This made someone pour water all over the floor, making it cool.
Jai Gurudev has become the magic mantra of my life. I am a physiotherapist practicing in Mumbai and I am a part of Art of Living since the last five years and I consider myself extremely lucky to be on this path, to meet my master, the divine himself.
My first meeting with Guruji was so beautiful & surprising. I had gone to meet Guruji at the place where he was staying not knowing that the meeting with him is only open to teachers.
24th December, 2011 in Bombay is a day I will never forget. My brother had made me in charge of the main security gate from where Guruji was to come and go.
A fairy tale, a sci-fi movie, call it whatever you may like, this incident completely changed my life and made me realize what it means to have faith on the Divine.
I did my First Yes Course in May 2008 (after appearing for 10th board exams) I was an average student and after every exam my parents used to tell me same thing that if I would have studied then I would have scored much better marks.
I would like to share one of my experiences with Guruji. On the 13th of May, 2011, Guruji was in the Bangalore Ashram for his birthday celebrations.
When I started the part 1 course, my main purpose was weight loss but I got much more than that. From my 1st day to the 6th day- I was washed every minute.
