Sri Sri Stories
I came into the Art of Living family in December, 2006. My husband and I were keen on doing the Basic course much earlier, but somehow nothing worked out because of my mother’s old age and poor health condition. She had dementia, and no one was ready to take her responsibility during the period of the Basic course, when I would be away from home. So unfortunately, I could not experience the course then.
With the passage of time, performing the role of a caregiver to my mother took a toll on me. Slowly by slowly, I started to slip into depression. And soon, I was in a bad condition. I consulted a doctor who gave me anti depressant tablets, and it made my condition worse. After a week of medication, my husband felt that there was no improvement and therefore we decided to consult our family doctor, who was also treating my mother then. This doctor advised me to do the Basic course (AOL), which he said would do me good, rather than getting addicted to medicines. The same day, we telephoned the Ashram to inquire about the ongoing courses, and to my good luck, the course had started that very day. So the next day, I joined the course, along with my husband.
The first day, after doing the Kriya, I did not feel any emotions. The next day after doing Kriya, I lay down, and when I heard Guruji’s voice, I burst into tears. I was sobbing like a child. All my suppressed emotions came out in the form of tears. When I got up, I felt as if my mind has calmed down and become very light. I had never felt this empty before. The first doctor had instructed me to take the medicines for two months. However, after doing the Sudarshan Kriya and experiencing its positive effects, I was able to stop those medicines in just 20 days. Another problem that I had been facing was that I could not get sleep without taking sleeping tablets. This had been happening since the depression had set in. It was worrying me quite a lot. In order to find a solution to this, I visited the Ayurvedic doctor at the Ashram, who advised me to have Sirodhara and Marma treatment for three days. And with Gurujis’ blessings and treatment, I could sleep without any medicines from the fourth day.
Seven years have passed now, and I am a changed person. I have become much more peaceful and calm. Gurudev has given a solution to all my problems. He has healed my mind. Whenever I have any problem, I simply refer to Gurujis’ knowledge sheet, and I always find a way out. The feeling that GURUJI is always with me, to protect me and my family, guides me through all the tough situations and makes me strong and confident. I have now realised that full faith and total surrender saves us from all our problems. My only regret is not having joined the Art of Living family earlier, since I must have missed out on so many precious miracles. But I am sure that my Master will make it up to me. He already is☺
His presence in my life is the biggest miracle ever.

Recently, I did an AMC at the Ashram. Normally Guruji gives Darshan to all the AMC participants at the end of the course. This time was no exception either. The Darshan went really well and I was really happy after meeting the Master. I met Guruji once more that week, and I felt that all my questions were answered. It’s such a state of bliss one feels on seeing Him, it’s truly unexplainable!
The following week, while working with the Ashram Events & Promotions team, news came that Guruji was going to meet people in the evening. One of my fellow Ashram sevak (volunteer) was the first one to know about it. He was really excited to meet Guruji, as this was his first time at the ashram. He asked me if I could accompany him in the evening at the Darshan queue. I was in two minds. It was only last week that I had met Guruji, and secondly there was a lot of pending work. But still I said a ‘yes’ to my friend, just to keep him motivated. Very soon our day’s work was allotted and it turned out that my friend was supposed to visit the city at 4.30 pm, which was precisely the time when Guruji would meet the devotees. And I was given the responsibility of staying back in the Ashram and handling other matters. My friend was really heartbroken, and I felt very sad for him. I even suggested that we switch responsibilities, but that was not approved by our seniors. So we went ahead as per the plan.
My friend and some other sevaks had already left by 4.30 pm, and I was waiting at my Ashram office, as I was supposed to receive a few guests. Suddenly I got a call from my Senior, saying that I was required to deliver certain items to someone at Budhha Hall (above Vishalakshi Mantap) at 5.15 pm. My desire to meet Guruji that day was very sublime. I had this ego that I had already met Him a couple of times last week, and therefore meeting Him again was not so important, and hence I would not be missing much if I did not go for Darshan. Anyway there was a rule for Ashram sevaks to attend to their work first.
So at around 5 pm, I went to the Vishalakshi Mantap to do my work. I was amazed to see a huge crowd near the Secretariat office, and to my surprise, I got to know that Guruji had replaced the Darshan venue from the usual Badri Vishala to the VM! So people were rushing out from Badri Vishala and running towards VM to get their best seat! I was very surprised. It was then that my hopes of meeting Guruji were rekindled, once again. But I had a job to do and time was running out. So I immediately ran up the stairs to Budhha Hall, and waited for the person I had to meet. Finally, he met me at 5.45 pm, and my work for the day was done. Luckily for me, Guruji was late that day. From above I could not see Him, but I could not hear any commotion from downstairs, which meant that He had yet not arrived. No sooner had I started coming down the stairs, than the entire crowd started cheering when they saw Guruji entering the VM! And I could find myself a place to stand at the corner. Guruji came and blessed all of us with His usual Lotus flower. I had nothing to say to Him. Everything was being taken care of by Him. I just had a feeling of gratitude in my heart! Suddenly it felt so good. I was so happy that I could see Him and receive His blessings, yet again! I was in a state of pure contentment.
It was my ego which came in the way. But Nature had arranged the situations in such a way that the events made me realize that my focus should never shift from the Guru. I was reluctant to go for the Darshan line that day because of my ego, but I eventually landed right there, and I am more than glad that I did☺. The Satsang post the Darshan went off beautifully. There was so much of freshness in the air that day. The Ashram is such a magical place, truly.

I’ve had several amazing experiences since Gurujis’ presence in my life. I ask a question in my mind and pat comes the answer. I’m out of town thinking of Him, and there He appears on some random channel, at some random time, while I’m flipping the channels. I cannot count these occasions – there are just so many.
But there was one incident that really resonates in my heart, and truly makes me feel that while there is the Divine in everyone, Gurus like Sri Sri are drenched in the Divine spirit.
A few years ago, my husband suffered from a sudden drop in potassium levels. He looked bloated, and so I took him to the hospital. He was admitted to the ICU and I was alone, sitting outside the ward. The doctor told me that I was lucky to have brought him in at this time because it could have led to a cardiac arrest otherwise. They needed to do an angiograph, they said. Maybe a block had to be removed.
Now my husband has other health problems as well, so I prayed fervently that angioplasty was not needed. A few days later, the doctors said that they would decide on the procedure. I prayed and prayed, but still I was not completely at ease. So I called up the Ashram and requested to speak to Guruji. Till then I had never spoken to Him. His Secretary answered the phone and I told her to inform Him about my husband’s condition. I was utterly helpless and so I completely surrendered this matter at His Holy feet.
About an hour later, the doctor called me in to show me the angiograph. He said that it’s a bit of a surprise, because although my husband had a block, it was not in a trouble-causing position. In fact, the artery that had the block was placed in a manner that was very rare. No surgery was needed, only medical intervention.
Did the doctor really say that? Was the surgery absolutely not required? Do miracles really happen so soon? Yes, it was all True! This Miracle had manifested due to deep prayer and Divine intervention. Wow! I felt just so blessed, and even more grateful!
I was so grateful and somehow I knew that a Great Power had helped me. I thank the Divine on earth, Guruji.
People may or may not believe in miracles. I for one believe that Fate is something each of us needs to go through. But when there is that tiny Master Stroke that saves you from an even greater calamity than the one you are facing, you begin have faith and unbounded Love for the Guru.

The most beautiful memory of Gurudev is that of the one with my father. My father was a Gurupooja Pundit. He completed the Gurupooja course in 2006, and I followed in 2007. Before that I completed the TTC (Teacher’s Training Course). Papa (father) was devoted to chanting many verses daily and he believed in Guruji immensely.
In May 2012 papa was taken ill. It started out gradually with swellings in his feet, but his condition did not improve over time. The doctors said it might be a problem with his liver, but they couldn’t put a finger on exactly what it was. We decided to visit the Ayurveda Hospital first. My brother took him there. He underwent treatment for 6 days – various cleansing procedures. During this time, I was at my Sahej TTC (teachers training course). So in May he was at the hospital and when he came back he was slightly better than before. We all visited Srinathji (a temple) in Rajasthan (a state in India); my father believed in Srinathji very strongly too. After that he went with my brother and his family to Kumbalgarh (a fort). On his way back from there he suffered from a phase of disorientation. We admitted him to the hospital and he was diagnosed with a malfunctioning liver. The doctors and we were contemplating certain paths of treatment including blood transfusion.
During this entire period, I would message Guruji every time letting Him know of the circumstances. Even when I was in the Ashram in May I had explained papa’s state to Guruji, about his swellings and other problems. I would keep informing Him about papa’s health.
In August he was admitted in the hospital. He was transferred to another hospital and then a third one. At that time my TRM (Teacher’s Refresher Meet) course was scheduled in the Ashram. I was in a dilemma; I asked my brother if I should I go. My brother told me to go to the Ahsram; he said he was there to take care of everything here. I wanted to essentially go to talk to Guruji, to let him know that nothing was fine and that I didn’t know what to do. I wasn’t getting an answer for the texts or emails or anything. I was worried. Though everybody said he has one daughter, how can she go at this time? But my faith in my Guru was the maximum. I truly believed that when I get an answer I know He can cure also. It can change everything completely. If he is not meant to go he will become okay because of Guruji. So with this faith I decided to go, no matter what anyone said. The TRM was for 2 and half days and I didn’t stay anymore. I met Guruji when he was on the way from the VM. I said “Guruji papa ki tabyat nai theek hai” (“My father’s health is not good”). I tried to tell Him what all was happening to dad. And He looked at me and said “mujhe pata hai” (“I know”). He didn’t say anything more about whether it would be okay or not. But atleast I knew that Guruji was aware about it. The next day I sat near the entrance inside the VM, so that when Guruji walked in I could talk to Him. So that day also I told Him – Guruji papa’s body fluid levels have gone high, his condition is worsening. He listened to me intently, to all I had to say and looked at me twice. I was somewhat content that now Guruji knew. After I got back to Bombay, my brother and I would still message or email Guruji about father’s condition. But there was no reply. And I kept thinking why are we not getting a reply? We were waiting for an answer as to whether he’ll be alright or will not be so. I was just waiting.
Then papa began to lose sensation in his hands and his legs. So he was actually going to be dependent, maybe a vegetable if he lived. So we framed the message to Guruji – if papa gets good life, then only let him, otherwise you take him away. Still there was no answer. My father was put on dialysis treatment, which didn’t work either. And I was very upset because I did not want to put my father through the torture of dialysis. But we didn’t want to prolong the process, because everyday his condition was worsening and one by one his organs began to fail. We couldn’t see papa like that. We were feeding him and bathing him. My kids were also by his side all the time; they loved their granddad so much. But we were still anxiously waiting for something from our Guru. On morning of August 16th we heard that Guruji is in Bombay. I asked my aunt but she didn’t know. Later we found out that Guruji is indeed in Bombay at a devotee’s house. My uncle spoke to Him, told him everything about dad and asked if we could go see Him. Guruji said okay you can come. So some of us went to meet Him. We went there and Guruji told us He missed His flight from Germany to Bangalore. Then He had a choice whether to come to Bombay or to Delhi. So many people told me that they’ve never known Guruji to miss any flight till now. Was it really possible that He missed His flight? Or it actually happened for Him to come to Bombay?
So we went to meet Him and spoke to Him. I told Him Guruji papa’s not well. And with both His hands He blessed me and said “unka time se sab ho jayega” (‘With time everything will be fine for him”). I asked Him “Guruji you’ll keep him with you?” He said “haan haan” (“yes yes”). And then I had some peace. If He keeps papa with Him in His heart I’ll be very happy. I don’t want anything more for my father. The next day 5’ o clock papa passed away.
Every day I used to play the Gurupooja chanting in Guruji’s voice. The days he was fit he would chant along with it, others days if he was unconscious or unfit I would just let it play on the phone next to him. He listened to the Gurupooja, Rudra pooja, Lalita Shrisinam and all such chants every day. On the last day I put on the Geetaji from 9 o clock in the morning. We believe in the Geetaji a lot, and it was on repeat till 5 o’clock. Twice in between he heard the Gurupooja. In the hospital, the practice is that when the doctor came in to examine the patient, they’d switch off any music or ask us to, because the doctor wouldn’t want to be disturbed. The last day no doctor or nurse came to tell us anything. The entire day all the chants were on, continuously going into his mind. So he was totally at peace when he went. And just like this Guruji took him with Himself.
In the Katho Upanishad Guruji says that when the body dies, when the spirit leaves the body, the first person you meet when you go on the other side is your Guru. He is the one who takes you forward. He is the one who shows you the way. After the incident many people said that in such a beautiful manner Guruji came in person to take my father away; they’d never seen anything like that. He actually came and He took papa with Him.
My father had touched so many lives. From the peons and helpers to the vegetable vendors, everyone came to see him at the hospital. Everyone adored and respected him. He was ever loving, kind and generous. He just gave, never asked for anything. In the end Guru looked after him. And here we were worrying that there is no reply, no message, no email. But He actually came Himself, Gurudev came himself to take care of papa. Such beautiful moments.
All I feel is so much gratitude for the Master. Just complete gratitude; such that I cannot express my love and gratefulness in words. He’s been there at every step of my life. I feel every cell of my body belongs to him. If you would open me up and see every cell would be saying Guru Om everywhere; there would be only one thing every cell would be chanting Guru Om.
Jai Gurudev

This is not a very recent experience but it’s my favorite Guru Story so thought to share it. One fortunate day, I rushed from the office to the airport to see off Guruji but he had already entered the gate when I reached so I just leaned on the glass wall waiting for his last glimpse. I could already feel his presence so strong and intense and as I stopped to look at him, he turned & waved at me and the time froze there and then. I knew that he turned just for me and he started walking, I walked with him. After a few steps, he turned again and to my surprise, he moved towards the exit door and came out. He came out for me, that’s all I know and we walked amidst others. I wasn’t walking just next to Guruji but I could see him all the time and keenly observing him throughout. Guruji looked towards me, pampered me and patted my cheeks.
The moment froze and I couldn’t believe all of it while the rest is inexpressible. The way Guruji loves me, only he can do that as he has accepted me the way I am. “It’s one thing to take a rose and force its petals open, but it’s another thing to wait for it to blossom by itself and Guruji do that.” His love is unconditional and it is true that in his presence you grow by leaps and bounds for you can experience your existence is love when he is around.

This is another story of my Guru’s Miracle which has strengthened my faith in Him.
My family and I came to the US just a few days back. As we were new to the place, there were a lot of apprehensions in mind, which were causing me a lot of tension and stress. But this was a part of travelling to a new place, so I accepted it and surrendered all my fears to Gurudev. The next day of our stay, my 2.5 year old son had to be dropped to his Day Care Centre, before I and my husband would head to complete our work. This Centre was around 5-6 miles away from our home, but since we were new to the city, we were not aware of the routes, and were not able to locate the Centre. So my husband took some assistance from the GPS on his mobile phone. At the time, we didn’t have a car and my husband was using his bicycle to drop my son. In spite of trying for a while, he still wasn’t able to find the route and seemed to have lost his way. After about 1 hour, when I called my husband, he was still on the road, with no clue of the way. This news really got me worked up. I wanted to help my husband, but knew not how to, as I myself did not know the ways well. So I decided to pray to my Master and seek for help. This was my only resort in this helpless situation. I did my Kriya, with hope and faith in my heart. I then sincerely prayed to Guruji and pleaded Him to show my husband the right path.
It had been just about 15 minutes since all this, and to my pleasant surprise, I got a call from my husband and he told me that just a few minutes back the Patrol Police had stopped by to ask him if he needed any help. Not only did the Officer drop my son and husband to the school on his jeep, but also gave his number on which we could call any time, in case of emergency. WOW! He sent us the much-needed Help in the form of the Patrol Police! What Amazing Grace. And at such a perfect time! The beauty of a miracle is when it happens at just the right time, it feels like BLISS☺
Such is the Grace of our beloved Guruji. He is always there for us. We are really blessed to have a living God with us, in the form of a Guru!
Thank you, Sri Sri!

I have been into Art of Living since 2007. I have done my Sahaj Samadhi Meditation course in Mumbai & have also done the Advanced course 5 times at the Bangalore Ashram, with Guruji. Ever since then, Guruji has become an integral part of my life. He is within me, my body, mind & soul!
I bow down at His holy feet & pray to Him at all times, irrespective of my needs / times of distress. I am grateful & feel immensely blessed to have Him as a Guru in my life; and I have unshaken trust, love and faith in His Divine Powers. He is my Divine Mentor indeed!
I have experienced innumerable miracles through His timely presence in my daily life. I would like to share something which happened with me recently, and was truly unbelievable in the business environment that I am into.
My husband and I, both of us are Finance professionals offering Financial Services to clients. In one of our recent cases, we mediated a Finance deal between a Private Finance party and our client. This deal was priced at Rs. 10 Crores (USD$17,00,000), and was to be completed in a months’ time at the maximum. Unlike the normal structured financial markets and arrangements, this involved payment of an advance fee of Rs.10 Lakh (USD$17,000), on mutual understanding & trust. Hence our client paid this amount to the private funding party, after agreeing to exchange some agreements.
Thereafter, we started getting alerts and hints from all professional circles about the ambiguity and NIL success rates of such deals. To confirm the same, the private party also started behaving strange, and failed to keep up to their commitments, giving all sort of excuses, thus creating a lot of stress and embarrassment for all of us.
I discussed this matter with one of my close friends, belonging to the AOL circle, during my Long Kriya session. She advised me and guided for suitable action. I prayed to Guruji with all my heart and soul, to help me come out of this stress. My friend, who is also a Teacher, blessed me and consoled me saying all would go well!
As we planned to take some legal recourse, & also get the private party nabbed and handed over to the authorities, to our utter surprise, the very next day, I got a call from the client saying that the private party had remitted his advance money back to his Bank a/c and also assured him that they would still keep trying to make arrangements in order to lend him the committed amount. On knowing this, my joy knew no bounds. I was totally shocked and surprised to hear this news, as this had seemed to be a confirmed case of Write-off. But when you have a Guru in your life, and you’re walking on the path, impossible becomes possible☺
This was a sheer miracle indeed, and had challenged and mesmerised all my friends and colleagues in the professional circle. I owe all my Gratitude to Gurudev, for His constant Grace and Blessings!!!
TRULY, WHEN GURUJI IS WITH YOU, A DEVOTEE WILL NEVER FALL DOWN….HE IS ALWAYS WATCHFUL & THERE TO TAKE CARE OF US….JUST HAVE FAITH & LOVE … JUST KEEP DOING SEVA..SADHANA…SATSANG!
JAI GURUDEV!

I visited the Bangalore Ashram in August 2011, where I got an opportunity to see our beloved Guruji. There was something mesmerizing about Him. His presence felt just so divine. His being was not that of a human. I felt as though I was in a different world, a world of peace and bliss. A world that seemed like heaven on earth. And before I could realize what it was, I found myself sitting for the next Yes+ course in the Ashram, in the presence of Sri Sri Himself.
I have been staying all by myself in Bangalore since I started college. It’s been quite difficult for me to survive here alone. Living by yourself in a new city is never too easy. I had started smoking and alcohol had become an integral part of my life. I felt I could not do without it. It was more of a psychological thing. I kept looking for support in the outside world. Little did I know, it was all within. Since the time I did my first Sudarshan Kriya (meditation and breathing technique taught in the Art of Living basic course), I started feeling the positivity in my life. I could feel the energies changing. My life had taken a big turn since then. Things that seemed impossible were actually materializing. I had quit smoking and drinking and there was no urge to get back to it ever again. I know it was all Guruji’s Grace.
Recently, I completed my Law degree from a reputed college, but was unemployed. I had been trying really hard to get a job at the earliest, as I had to support myself, but all my efforts were in vain. Though somewhere down the line, I had this faith that everything will be taken care of, everything will work out, and so I surrendered to the Divine.
Last week, I had an interview scheduled with a multinational company for a Legal post. I sincerely prayed before going for the interview. After the first round of Interview, when I got an opportunity to interact with the other candidates who had come for the interview, I found that I was the only fresher while all the others had quite some work experience. It seemed to be extremely difficult for me to get that job, considering the fact that my competitors clearly had an upper hand. I thought to myself, “Probably this job is not for me”, but I still did not lose hope. I gave all the other rounds of the interview with great patience, applying the 5 Golden Rules that I learnt on the Yes+ course. What followed was a lovely miracle. To my surprise, when the final list of selected employees came out, mine was the only name on it. I was the only one who got selected for the job. Wow! I still remember that ecstatic feeling!!
I humbly thanked Guruji as it was only because of Him that I got the job. I know He is there for all of us and He is watching over us always. He has been a great Blessing for me and now I can never imagine my life without Him.
Jai Gurudev,

This was way back in September 2011, when a silly conversation between two friends introduced me to a world of unknown. The conversation went something like this:
Namita: “Prads, why don’t you do the Art of Living (AOL) Part 1 course. You do this course now, and since I am in Bangalore, you come here in December and we will do the Advanced course at the Ashram. It will be amazing!”
Pradnya (Me): “Ok Nami :)”
That was it. I googled the website of Art of Living, found two phone numbers, called up and signed up for the course. Out of the two teachers, I selected the one whose voice appealed to me. Thank God for my madness, otherwise I wouldn’t have met the very wonderful Aruna Aunty, my Teacher!
That was the beginning of my spiritual journey. I got introduced to a life that has Sudarshan Kriya, Satsangs, Seva, Knowledge and GURUJI 🙂
All this while I had just known Sri Sri as the founder of AOL, but now, He had become my personal Guru. All I can say is that I liked Him, liked Him because He was always smiling. Every time I looked at any of His snap, I smiled. I got the same feeling you get when you look at a child. I always wondered – how can any person manage to evoke such intensely blissful emotions?
My love for Guruji took its own time to blossom. It wasn’t exactly love at first sight for me. But He didn’t wait to check how I felt, He loved me from day one! His magic flowed into my life right from 16th September 2011!!!
Every day, I find moments where I am amazed as to how my work gets done, how situations that seem so complex get sorted so effortlessly. I am amazed at the innumerable surprises that life gives me, the abundance of love that I am blessed with. From fulfilling each and every wish to saving me from falling into disastrous situations, the past 3 years have been wonderful. He has delivered even when I have fought with Him, got angry at Him, lost faith in Him. The most beautiful thing is that He has accepted me always when I have come back, with all my flaws, and loved me for what I am. He just doesn’t seem to give up on me, and for this, I am grateful to Him.
There are times on this spiritual journey, when you are confused. There is a dilemma between your conditioned mind and spiritual teachings. You may even feel like an outcast because you could be criticized for being on the path, your close ones would not be able to relate to you. We may have to go through these situations, but when you see the growth in yourself, when you see how far you have come as a person, you just don’t want to stop.
There is this question that people tend to ask, “Do you choose a Master, or does the Master choose you?” To which there is an answer “When you take 1 step towards the Master, the Master takes 10 steps towards you”. I thank you Guruji, that you took those 10 steps towards me. I thank you Guruji, for you sailed me through my thick and thin. I thank you Guruji, that you never let me down. I thank you Guruji, for simply being the way you are. You are my Everything☺
I am glad, happy, grateful and fortunate that I have a GURU and that is you – Sri Sri. Always so grateful!!!

My name is Deepa Singh and I am a Yoga teacher. I stay in Mumbai. I have been into Art of Living for the past ten years and life has been a blissful journey since.
However, there is only one sad feeling that kept bothering me, which was that I have never gotten to meet my Guru face to face and talk to him. In all these years, I was only able to have eye contact with Him, as there are always so many devotee’s waiting to take his blessings. I always complained to myself, that when will I get to talk to Him properly. A part of me kept thinking, if I don’t meet Him, will He even know me?
Then one day, a relative of mine had come home and he told me that he had managed to get a meeting with Gurudev. He had sent an email to Him because he needed to talk about some important personal matters, and he got an appointment to meet Guruji in the Bangalore Ashram. While I was very happy for him, this made me even sadder.
Luckily for me, the very next day I got a call that Guruji is in Mumbai and that he will be staying at Sangeeta Jani’s place! I got so happy, I quickly went to meet Him. When I went, there were many devotee’s already waiting to meet Him, so I also joined them. Finally, when Guruji came I got to touch his feet and He also gave me Prasad. I was happy, but I still felt doubtful about whether he would remember me or not. So I quietly went and joined the next line as well!
When Guruji came and saw me again, He told me, “I just met you right? Don’t worry I remember and I will always be there.” When I heard this, I realized that He knew me and He understood everything that I was feeling. This gave me such joy. I realized that all our wishes get fulfilled after coming on this path if we have a strong sankalpa. All doubts get resolved, only faith is needed. We get immediate solutions and wisdom. Life becomes a celebration. We are all extremely lucky to have a Guru in our life.
