The Decision to do the Art of Living Course Saved me from Depression
Art of Living came into my life at a time when I needed it the most. I was in a totally miserable condition.

The day I attended my first Art of Living course, I knew I had opened a new dimension in my life.
I am Manali Pimple from Mumbai. I am currently working as a Compliance Executive at Kotak Mahindra. I did the Art Of Living course in Febuary, 2011, & became a devotee & a lover of Guruji since then. I found the Sudarshan Kriya so amazing that I can say only 1 thing, "THE KRIYA GAVE ME LIFE". So a few years ago, in the year 2005, when I was in the fifth standard, suddenly one day, I started getting a very bad headache. The simplest thing that anyone does during a headache, is to just eat a Crocin. I did the same thing, but it did not help me at all. The pain remained. I also did not have any fever or high blood pressure or any other health problem, so was not sure about the reason for this ache. By late night, the ache reduced & it finally vanished. The next day, at the same time, sometime around 5 pm, again I started getting the same headache. I started getting headaches on a daily basis, at the same time, in the evening.
This is a story which rolls back to 2010, when I had just finished my 10th standard board examinations and was confused about what to study further.
Art of Living came into my life at a time when I was in a totally miserable condition, when I needed a helping hand from the Divine, as I had given up all hope.
My son is very sweet and creative. He has a rare combination of interests. He had completed his post- graduation in Design management in 2010 and searched for a job in the same field, but did not get it.
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!
I am with the Art of Living since January, 2007. With Sri Sri in my life, I have experienced many miracles.
SURRENDERSHIP- the essence of spirituality.I did my first course in 2012 in Chicago. Since then I had the urge of meeting Sri Sri.
I was given accommodation during pre-TTC (Teachers Training Course) in the home of another participant and I stayed with him the night before the first day of the pre-TTC.
I used to be hyper, aggressive and a go getter Capricorn. I always thought I could achieve what I wanted by being aggressive and showing that I was in control.
I was never a big follower of any Guru. The whole concept was alien to me. My elder sister on the other hand was devoted to Guruji.
My daughter was born in 1991. Though she was a normal child during birth, a minor part of her brain got damaged due to convulsions on the second day itself.
I owe everything to my poor but religious and loving parents who had migrated empty handed from Pakistan during partition. We were regular in attending kirtans and satsangs anywhere close to our place where we stayed and everyday would read Bhagwat Gita, Shrimad Bhagwat, Sukhmani and I respected each and every religious and holy book as well as the Gurus.
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.
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).
