Since the past 5 years I had been suffering from depression. I was on Homeopathic treatment for more than a year. However, after around a year the same problem re-occurred. Thus I was forced to consult a psychiatrist, who prescribed me medications for 2 years. I was always looking for ways to stop these medicines, since I was aware that they were harmful in the long run and not a permanent solution to my problem.
One day while travelling in the Mumbai local train, I bumped into an old college friend with whom I shared my problem. She immediately suggested that I take the Art of Living YES+(Youth Empowerment Skills) course. I decided to give it a try. September being a peak period for CAs like me with pressure of filing income tax returns for our clients, I had to speak to my boss about my problem In order to apply for leave to pursue this course. And guess what, I got the required leaves.
I got Mr. Virat Chirania as my teacher, who taught me the Sudarshan Kriya for the first time in my life. It was an amazing experience.
This was the turning point of my life! I never knew that I am entering and discovering an amazing pathway to joy, happiness and love. I got connected to my Guru, my saviour, our beloved Sri Sri Ravishankar. There was no looking back after this point.
I have been practicing the Sudarshan Kriya (meditation) regularly from the first day of joining the course. In a matter of two months, my doctor was amazed seeing the improvement I had made after practicing the Sudarshan Kriya , and slowly reduced the dosage of my antidepressant pills. The doctors were shocked to see my recovery happen at such a fast pace. Now, not only does my mind feel relaxed but I feel much more energetic. It helps me get rid of all the negativity. I never imagined I could experience this unbounded Joy again. It is like a new life for me. A youngster like me has been saved and channelized in the right direction with the Blessings and Love of Guruji.
With regular meditation and knowledge of Guruji I now lead a normal life without any medications. I am also now an active volunteer in Vote for Better India and other activities of Art of Living. The Satsang (hymns and chantings) offered every thursday gives my body a new flush of energy and happiness. I know all this is only possible because of the Grace of My Master. He has chosen me and changed my life, He is most wonderful. Thank you Guruji, for being so kind to us.
Jai GuruDev.

It was December 2004 when we were in Rourkela (a place in India) , we planned to visit Andaman and Nicobar for Christmas vacations with the help of a travel agent. My elder son was in US and it was quite late for getting his confirmation. So we went ahead for this trip and we got a package for only 6 days instead of 7 which was a bit upsetting as we were getting a day less that our other friends for the same money. With our two sons, we landed in Andaman and Nicobar on 21st December and we had a fantastic trip. We reached the airport well ahead of time for our return flight on 26th December morning at 6.45am. After checking in our luggage, we all were happily enjoying our coffee when suddenly the chairs started shaking. In a few minutes, a huge glass wall in front of us collapsed and someone from the check-in counter shouted “Earth quake, earth quake, run outside”. Everyone rushed outside the airport. My husband and sons also went out fast however I was so shocked that in panic I could not move. My legs were stuck. Suddenly I started shouting “Guruji, Guruji”. Guruji heard it and suddenly my younger son realized that I am left inside.
He rushed inside, held my hand and took me outside slowly. The next 3 hours were horrible for us. People were reaching the airport in injured conditions. We also came to know that the hotel in which we stayed the previous night was totally under water and the road to reach the airport got cracked so bad that no vehicle could cross over it. We were continuously praying to Sri Sri for help and again a miracle happened. One plane from Chennai reached the airport and we got to know that it was not just an earthquake, but it was TSUNAMI. As Tsunami had affected Chennai also, the planes were not able to go back to Chennai but had to be landed at Andaman airport only. The passengers of that plane also had to land at Andaman airport. After 3 hours, a confirmation came that it will be safe for the plane to take off for a few hours. So finally we left Andaman and reached Kolkata safely.
For all my other friends who got an extra day, this tsunami was like a nightmare. I then realized the Guru Krupa as to why Guruji planned one day less for us for this trip. The place from where I called Guruji for help was the safest place in Andaman and during next few days, all evacuation took place from this place only.

This story that I’m about to share, is still fresh out of the oven! It happened on the 6th of November, 2013.
On the 6th, at night, I realized that something was wrong with my car air-conditioner, and it was blowing warm air. But since it was a public holiday, the service center was shut so I could not get it repaired. The next morning, I had an official meeting to attend, at a place which was about 120 Km. away from my home, and I would have to drive the distance without the luxury of an air-conditioner, that too in that hot and steaming weather. The thought made me a bit worried, as I am not quite comfortable with travelling in the heat, and feel really unwell.
So I took the Guru’s name and set out. The early morning drive was pleasant. But by the time my work was done, it was already 1.30 pm, and the weather was extremely hot outside. It was scorching heat. I sat for lunch, with a feeling of restlessness in my heart, wondering how I was going to drive back the distance, which would take over an hour, without an air-conditioner.
As usual, every single thing in my life, be it good or bad, I share with Gurudev, so I did the same this time as well. I told Him, ” Guruji, please help me. I am really nervous about travelling in the sun, as it makes me feel very uneasy. I really wish for a pleasant weather all the way home, and hope that it won’t rain suddenly (As the weather is quite unpredictable at this time of the year)”. So with this little wish in my mind, and a feeling of surrender in my heart, I left from the venue, and sat in my car, hoping for the Divine Lord to be kind and gentle to me.
And guess what I saw? The sun had gone for a break. It was nowhere in sight! Yahoo! The burning sun had gone to hide behind the heavy clouds! It was just the perfect weather to drive with the windows rolled down. And the weather remained good throughout the journey, for the entire span of the 120 Km. drive back home. And what happened after that, proved to me, that this was truly a miracle of the Lord. Just as I was entering the porch of my house, it started to pour heavily. In fact, as I sat to pen down this miracle immediately upon reaching home, it still continued raining out there. I know that Guruji listens & responds to everything we share with HIM. The miracles of “Surrender “! This is just one example of the many miracles that Our Darling Guruji has blessed me with. Guruji! Oh Guruji! All that I could say is “I Love You! You are truly in me as me! Upon my father’s demise, I always thought that my dad left me. But NO. I was wrong, as he came back to me, to shower all the love, in the form of my Spiritual Father – My Darling Guruji!!!

I’m a first year B.Tech (Biotech) student. I stay in the college hostel itself. It’s the first time I’m staying away from home and everything seems so new! The students here are all from different-different states. I miss my home a lot. I did my Yes Plus course in the Ashram, just 2 months before my college started. And all I prayed to Guruji was to give me the courage to stay in the hostel, and I also prayed to Him to be with me, always!
Just a week after college started, things started getting out of control. I could not handle the pressure and stress. The thought of staying away from home for such a long while was killing me. So I went back home in the first week itself. I cried a lot. I even asked my mom to get me admission in an Arts college, in my city, so that I would not have to be away from my family. All that I wanted was to stay in my home! But that was not the right thing to do, so everyone convinced me and sent me to the hostel again. It was during this time that I got the call letter for Tamil Nadu Medical counselling. I was very happy, as I had fairly good chances of getting a college in my city itself. So, with hope in my heart, I went for the counselling, but I got admission for BDS, which is located in a city nearby. I was in grave dilemma. I did not know whether I should remain where I was, or then go for BDS. To be honest, I was not too interested in BDS. But my mother wanted me to take BDS. Around this time only, my mother went to do an AMC (Advanced Meditation Course) at the Ashram.
I was in a state of utter confusion as I was very interested in pursuing Astrobiology, and taking up BDS would not take me to my dream. At that time, i thought that the University where I already was is fine, and I made up my mind to stay in the hostel. But then, my mother wanted me to do BDS and not Biotech. I thought of explaining everything to my mother over the phone, so as to convince her about the aptness of my decision, and how it would fit in to my career aspirations. But unfortunately, she was in silence that time, due to the AMC, and hence could not speak with me. And also, my internals were going on in college. And If I wouldn’t attend the internals, I would lose my CGPA (score). So, I didn’t have the time to think at all. So I decided to take the final call after my internals. I then left a message on my mom’s phone, informing her about the same. Just when my internals were done, I had holidays for a while. So I went to the Ashram during the same time. There, my mother was very happy, as Guruji had blessed my allotment letter for BDS. It was at that time, that I became extremely upset and uneasy, as BDS was not my choice, it was my mothers’. So, to get some peace of mind, I went to the Sumeru Mantap (a meditation area in the ashram) and meditated. I also wrote a letter to Gurudev, telling Him that I wanted Him to be with me in whichever course I pursued. Everyone was explaining to me that since Gurudev Himself had blessed the BDS course, I should definitely go ahead and pursue the same, and should not think of continuing with my current course. Though this was not what I had expected, something inside of me said to me that everything was going to be fine. I felt as though Guruji was holding my hands.
I then spoke to my mother and explained my view point, regarding my career, to her. I convinced her that what I am doing as of now is the right thing and asked her to have faith in me. After that, my mom was ok with my decision of continuing with my course and not taking up BDS. This gave me a bit of relief.
As I went back to college after the holidays, I felt some sort of restlessness. I felt as though I had ignored my mother’s feelings. I felt as though I had not obeyed my Master. A lot
of such thoughts kept surfacing in my mind, every now and then. I did not feel comfortable with my decision. But everything just vanished in a fraction of seconds, when I heard that Gurudev was coming to my college! I wasn’t able to believe my ears! Wow wh
at a feeling that was!!! And again, a slightly tough situation came up. I had my model practicals on the same day that Gurudev was to visit my college, from 2 – 5 pm. Guruji was to be in college from 3 – 4 pm for a talk. I tried a lot to complete my practicals before time,
but was not able to do so. So on completing the practicals, I came out of the lab anxiously, hoping that Gurudev would still be around. And there I heard HIM speaking! The voice I’d love to hear always, all the time! I ran to the hall and sat in the front row, where there was a vacant seat, as though it had been kept reserved for me! Gurudev was there till 5.30 pm, imparting some beautiful knowledge points! After the talk was over, He proceeded towards His car. My friends and I were standing near His side. Suddenly, He opened the door, and came out of the car. We were all stunned with happiness. I then touched His lotus feet for the first time, and He smiled at me! I can still feel the bliss of that moment!
I then remembered the letter I had written to My Master, and the silent promise that He had made! That HE IS ALWAYS WITH ME, WHEREVER I GO! And Yes, He proved it to me, literally. I am just so happy with my life now, for I know that HE is with me, always!
Thank you, Gurudev.

I am with the Art of Living since January, 2007. With Sri Sri in my life, I have experienced many miracles. I’m making my first attempt to share one of my experiences here.
This was when I was working for a software company. It was also the time when our businesses were experiencing heavy recession. All my colleagues, managers, team members left the organization and moved on. Then, one of my colleagues became my boss, and I was unable to adjust to this new environment. I was getting into trouble with my role. It was a time of grave mental conflict for me, as I was not too clear about how to progress with my career. So I decided to do my first Advance course to get some clarity. After attending the course, I made up my mind to resign from my job. This was a big decision for me, but somehow it came quite effortlessly. May be if I had not resigned then, my boss would have created a situation to terminate me, forcibly. Being a top performer, this would have been difficult for me to accept.
Now, I was out of my job, and the markets were down due to recession. New opportunities were not too many. Yet, I kept trying for a job. I attended a few interviews, but nothing seemed to work out.
During this time, I decided to visualize my goal, instead of getting tensed and depressed. People, who would meet me, would get surprised seeing my attitude and approach. Friends and ex-colleagues were amazed to see me smiling with confidence always. Thanks to Guruji and all the knowledge He has provided us with, it kept me going during this tough phase. And 3 months passed just like that, with not much progress in my situation. Now I started getting a bit tensed.
Then I did another Advance course, to calm my mind a bit. During the course, I met Guruji and surrendered to Him all my botherations, in writing. I also made a firm decision during this course. I resolved that if I was not successful in getting a job within a months’ time, I would go to the Ashram in order to dedicate my life for Seva. While these thoughts were going on in my mind, I received a call from my sister, who is an Art of Living teacher. She told me that she would need me to assist her in one of the Mega courses she was organizing. So I decided to take this as an opportunity for Seva, and went ahead.
It was a 5 day course. I was doing my Seva innocently, like a child, without thinking that I am doing something special. One evening, during these 5 days, I was sitting in the living room with my family, and suddenly, I started crying in front of everyone, worrying about my job. I did not even realize when I burst out in tears. The worry of my job had eaten me up from inside. My family was surprised to see me crying, as they had only seen the tough side of me.
Next day, I was a bit depressed, but was getting back to normal. I went to assist the course and came back home, as per routine. At night, I went online to check my mails, which I do once in every 2-3 days.
To my surprise, I saw in my inbox that I had received a mail from a top MNC, confirming that I had been selected for the post of a regional role in their organization. This exactly matched the job profile that I had visualized for myself.
This was a complete shocker for me. Along with me, even my family was surprised at this Miracle. It was truly a great one, and much needed too. I had no words to thank Gurudev.
All I could remember at that time was Guruji’s quote, “You do my work and I will do yours.” It was so true. We are all truly blessed to be so deeply and strongly connected to the Master.
Jai Gurudev.
Well, well, well… My Guru story is finally here.
As most of them have experienced His miracle moments, and I did too. There are many such incidents that have happened with me, that have elevated my faith, and here is one among the most amazing moments that I have experienced. I did my YES+ (Youth Empowerment Skills Workshop) in January, 2012, and I was fortunate enough to do my AMC (Advanced Meditation Course) in July, 2012, and also met our beloved darling Guruji. I always got more than what I wished for, and sometimes even without wishing for anything, I was blessed with abundance.
So here goes my experience. After finishing my blissful AMC, I had to visit my uncle’s place in Bangalore. I took a bus from the Ashram to Banshankari (a place in Bangalore). I was new to this place and had absolutely no idea about the routes, and this was the first time I was travelling alone. On reaching the Banshankari bus stop, I got into the wrong bus to reach my destination. I had no idea where I was heading. I was then dropped at the KR market. Again, I was clueless as to where to catch the next bus from. I had a very heavy bag with me because of which, after some time, my hands became numb and painful. And to add to my agony, there was heavy traffic.
So I decided to ask one of the travelers who had come in the same bus as me. I asked him, “Where is the bus stop?”. And I was once again misguided. It was already 6 in the evening, and I was still searching for the bus. By this time I was in tears. I felt as though I had been left all alone in a massive crowd, with no one to care. I walked ahead with a heavy heart and decided to hire an auto. The driver demanded Rs.500, which was far beyond the actual fair, but as I had no other option, I agreed to the same. Just as I was about to sit in the auto, suddenly, an old man in white, came towards me, out of nowhere. He removed my bag from the auto, and looked into my eyes with a Bright smile and said, “Beta, just cross this road and stand, you will safely be taken to your home.” I had no idea about what was happening at that moment. I just listened to that person and crossed the road, and the bus was right there in front of me. I was amused for a moment and turned around.
That man wasn’t there. I boarded the bus, and was thinking about what had happened a couple of minutes back, and suddenly I received a message from one of my AOL friends saying, “When you feel weak, know that I am with you as your strength. You are not alone – SRI SRI”. I just smiled and realized that HE is always there, looking after you. NO MATTER WHAT! This was truly such an amazing and enriching experience for me. Know that the Divine is there with you, at every small step. All I can say is that I’m truly blessed to have Gurudev in my life.
Keep smiling,
JAI GURUDEV!!

This was way back in 2004, when I was in grade 11. Like most youth, I felt that Guruji and His miracles were just a sort of promotional strategy. However, my mother was an Art of Living teacher and really believed in Him.
One day, I was reading the book ‘Sri Sri as I know Him’, and the more I read, the more I wondered of the truth about miracles. I told my mom (who was then leaving to take her course), that if this man, who she called ‘Guruji’ is something, if He truly has some power, then I want Him to prove it to me. For some reason, the conviction in my challenge to Sri Sri was intense. It was as though I wanted to re-enforce my faith in the Divine through this. And what followed, was truly mesmerizing.
My house (which is on the ground floor) was under construction, and had all sorts of construction material lying in the veranda, including two massive glass pieces. It was raining cats and dogs, because of which, the 50 year old house sheds (made of thick stone) were getting weaker and weaker, as they absorbed more water from the rain.
Accidently, the lady who stays on the second floor, dropped her blanket on the house shed. She then asked me if I could remove the blanket from there, with the help of a stick. So I was standing on the second floor, trying to fiddle the stick to somehow remove the heavy blanket. But in that effort, I ended up slipping and falling all the way from the second floor to the ground floor, through the sheds, and landed on the two huge glass pieces. I was trapped under the construction material, with the glass pieces on me, along with 3 broken sheds. I was in severe pain. It took my neighbors over 20 minutes to rescue me. By then, they were all expecting that I’d be dead, considering the graveness of the accident.
When I did come out, I was fully conscious, alive, with not a single scar on my body.
Wow! Not a single scratch on my body!! Such is the Love of our beloved Sri Sri for us, all of us are extremely lucky to have Him in our life, we must not doubt the love and blessings of Guruji for us, simply know he is always there to protect you and you are taken care of.
That divine intervention happened, and here I am, now doing full time service for the AOL Organization since 3 years 🙂
Thank you Gurudev!

It’s been exactly one year and seven months now, since I first did my Basic Course! In this duration, I have seen and felt many benefits of the “Sudarshan Kriya”. It’s also so amazing to have a Living Master, guiding you through the ups and downs of life. Every day is a gift of the Divine, filled with bliss, so enchanting, so fruitful. My life has taken a 360 degree turn, a positive turn! Guruji helps me in my daily life, guiding me at every step, just like a father would lead his little one. I feel so blessed to have the Master in my life.
Below I have described a miraculous experience that got me stunned.
I am a professional, with tight work schedules, and am also actively involved with NGOs. Despite the tedious schedule, I enrolled to do my Post-Graduate studies. This was a tough decision for me, as I knew it would be extremely demanding in terms of time and effort. But I decided to go ahead.
During the course of my studies, there were many assignments to be prepared and submitted by me. One such assignment got me into a real fix. I submitted a couple of drafts for the same, but for some reason, my lecturer was still not happy with my work, and not only that, she also commented in front of the entire class stating that I was totally out of topic! I could not figure what exactly my lecturer wanted, and all she told me when I asked for guidance was “This is a post – graduate paper, not under-graduate” and she gave me a book saying “I hope this will help you.” So I took the thick book and walked towards my car, in dejavu! God, time was running out on me, and I had a great deal of work commitments to complete that week. I did not know how I was going to manage everything. The work pressure was getting at me.
On reaching back home, I thought with a calm mind and reached the conclusion that there was no sense in panicking, I had exactly 5 days to complete the assignment and I had to make the most of it. I could read 5 chapters a day, and in 3 days I would finish the book. Then within the next 2 days I could complete the assignment as well. Of course it sounded ridiculous even to me, but practically, that’s the only best thing I could do! That night, I sat to read the book. It was quiet interesting, but it did not seem to answer my quest for the assignment. Early next morning, I called my classmates and discussed with them, and of course, they had the same view. What was I going to do then? I could not give up at that stage. Thus I continued my search. I read some other material as well, but didn’t really get anywhere. Time seemed to fly at a more magnified speed, and it was already Sunday. I had only 1 more day to go. By then I was panic struck. I forgot about everything around me, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat, all that was on my mind was completing the assignment. To add to my agony, as though it was not already at its peak, my brother suddenly had some health complications and had to be rushed to the hospital and was then admitted to the ICU. This was one of the most testing times of my life. After my father’s demise, I became phobic of ICU’s and wards. But I had to remain calm and composed at all times, because any signs of panic on my part would make my mother hysteric. There was only one mantra that pulled me through – “Guruji, I know you are with me, and are listening to me. I know you are with my brother.” This was running like a Jappa (Chant) in my mind. After a few hours, things stabilized, and the doctors told us that there was nothing to worry, though they would keep my brother in the ICU for a few more days on observation. So I was more at peace on hearing this soothing piece of news, that my brother was better.
By the time I returned home, it was late at night and the first thing that hit me was, “Oops! My assignment!” I was extremely nervous then, as I knew that if I don’t send it the next morning, I would fail the paper. I was in a helpless state as the situation had just not been in my control. I ran to Guruji, to His photo and said, “Gurudev, please help me. I’m not even sure what to ask you for, but please give me some idea, time, something. I need to get this assignment done by tomorrow morning”. After that, I had my shower, set my alarm for 3.00 am, hoping that the 3 hour rest will help me, and then went to bed. But, sleep was not ready to embrace me, and I ended up tossing and turning in bed, all the while, talking to Guruji in my heart, as I usually do! For a moment I was so tangled in my problems that I could not think. At that agonizing moment, I just suddenly felt like meditating, and went totally blank.
That gave me some calmness and a sudden urge to log in to YouTube and watch the many videos of Guruji! It was quite strange but I just went ahead and followed my instinct. The very first video that was displayed on the list that day was Guruji talking about the GM crop during one of the Satsangs. Someone asked to send a petition about brinjals, and Guruji explained about the fate of farmers who cultivated BT cotton, and the effects it has on the soil, and also about the many types of original rice breeds which were lost, which we may never bring back!
Oh My God!!!
I nearly jumped out of my chair in excitement. I was so shocked, stunned, amazed, overjoyed, and grateful. Wow! It was such a mix of feelings. I couldn’t have asked for better. This was exactly what I wanted. This was exactly what my lecturer wanted. All the puzzling concepts were now falling in place. So simply and beautifully Gurudev had explained the subject of my assignment in the form of a video. I was just so happy. I took His photo and hugged it close.
Suddenly everything made sense, the contents of the thick book, the title, the comments. Everything made sense. My lecturer actually wanted me to think out of the box, about legality and morality, the difference between being legally right & morally right, about Corporate Social Responsibilities, about Business Ethics. And Gurudev’s video had explained it all. I was so excited. I immediately grabbed my laptop, played on repetition, one of the Satsangs where Guruji was singing (it has always given me energy), and started to type the assignment. Five hours passed, and I did not even realize, and my assignment was complete. It was already 6.00 am, just nice for me to get ready and drive to my University, which is about a 2 hour drive from home. All through my journey, I could not stop thanking Sri Sri! The moment I saw my lecturer, I briefly explained to her what I had written, and she smiled and said, “Finally!” And guess what – 2 months later, when the results were released, I got the grades I wanted! Guruji! Thank You So Much! Love You! Love You! Love You! No words could express my gratitude. Nothing I do will express my gratitude enough, except to spread HIS message & love to ALL!!!
Love You Gurudev! You are my Guru, my mentor, my best friend. What can I say when the DIVINE is present in my life, in the form of my ” Guruji “, holding my hand & guiding me in my journey back “HOME”!!!

JAI GURUDEV…
I had done my Part 1 Course in 2006 at Mumbai. After the Part 1 course I did a Part 2 Course and the Sahaj Samadhi Course thereafter. However, I was never regular with my Sadhana practices. Due to some or the other reasons was never regular with the Sudarshan Kriya (meditation).
Thereafter, in July 2012, I had suffered a very painful health condition, which lasted for a couple of months, followed by discomfort for a few more months. Having retired over three years ago, I have been sailing off the Indian coast in Offshore Vessels on contract basis for 2 to 3 months at a stretch in each contract, to make my living. An Offshore Vessel is a small ship and often rolls and pitches i.e. rocks with the waves. The routine on board is very tight, with limited time to even sleep. I have rarely ever done the Kriya on board. Even when at home on leave for over 2 months at a stretch after signing off from the ship, I was never regular with the Kriya.
But during my recent contract, I took a firm resolve to do the Kriya daily on board the ship, I had decided come what may I will do the Kriya. The ship had a very hectic charter this time but despite all odds, I did the Kriya daily. I even motivated one of my colleagues on board to do the Sadhana practices, who had done Part 1 Course a few years ago but had discontinued with the Sadhana practices. It was a great and wonderful experience. I could sense my bonding with Guruji growing stronger and firmer, with each passing day. I found myself sharing intimate moments with my Gurudev, even on the ship.
Three months had thus passed and it was time for me to go home. But I was regular with my Sadhana practices. I had performed exceedingly well on board, had even been promoted to Captain and the ship had successfully completed all tasks of the Charter. My contract had got over and I was keen to sign off and go home. But this was getting delayed, due to various circumstances. The ship was continuously at sea and there was no indication of getting back to harbour – which is normally a necessity for my reliever to embark and for me to hand over & sign off.
Though I resigned myself to my fate; one day, I found myself telling Gurudev that how I wish I could sign off and reach home – to be in time to attend the Long Kriya (Group Meditation) on Saturday, 08 June 2013 evening with my wife. I was really keen to go for this Follow- up Session, but it was less than a week away and so impossible. Most surprisingly, in a day or two, my ship got a message from the Head Office that I can hand over my duties to another Officer on board and disembark by a helicopter transiting between the Production Platform at sea and Mumbai. Such things are normally permitted only in emergencies, essentially due to the expenditure involved of movement by air and limited seats available in a helicopter. The impossible had become possible!!! On 05 June evening, I reached home and on 08 June evening, I found myself seated along with my wife and many others for the Long Kriya Follow-up Session.
The Blessings have been so intense that during this leave period, I could not only do another Part 2 Course and DSN Course, but I and my wife also successfully completed our Blessing Course, during our first ever visit to the Bangalore Ashram.
FOREVER IN GRATITUDE…

I am an Assistant Professor and I am pursuing my Doctorate degree. I had a doubt whether I will be able to complete my Doctorate Degree or not. I had to prepare and submit an article, which was to be accepted by one of the international journals.
For the first year, I prepared the theory paper and did the preliminary course work. I had secured a good score, and entered second year. During my second year, I had to prepare an article focusing on the USB mini device. Days passed by, and all of a sudden there was a change in topic and I had to divert to the electrical field, which is new to me. Due to this, I had lost all hope and was not able to concentrate for over four months. I did not know how I would manage. But then, there came a ray of hope in my life. Guruji had come in the form of my Guide. On an auspicious day, He called me and gave me the concept in my prayers.
So I worked on the concept wholeheartedly, but was not able to bring life to it. Again, there was a state of anxiety in my mind. I did not know how to proceed. But still, I did not lose faith in Sri Sri, My Guide. Finally, after multiple attempts, the concept document was ready. I then submitted it to the international journal. After reviewing my file, the international journal reverted with their feedback. I was quite disheartened on receiving the same as I expected to do better. But still, I did not lose my hope, and kept the lamp of faith burning. I knew that Gurudev would surely help me. After a few days, I went for the weekend prayer. There I had a dream in which Guruji gave a rose to me, blessed me and took me to a new world. This dream gave me much more confidence.
The very next day, I got a mail from the editor of the international journal saying that my article had been accepted. Wow! What a feeling that was! I am 100% sure that this was a miracle of Guruji. His Grace and Blessings is my Luck in disguise now. I am just so grateful to my Master.
Right now I am preparing an article focusing on the world map. I know that Gurudev will guide me through his as well. I have not yet met Him, but I know that He has a grand plan for me. I feel extremely blessed to have such a Master in my life.
Love You Guruji,
Prema Sainthavi Sulochana
