Gurudev’s Blessings Helped Me Ace the Toughest Exam of My Career
I did my first Art of Living course in 2010. I want to share a story that shook me from inside and instilled my faith in Gurudev.

After taking a one year break from work, I was eager to get back to my career. I was searching for a well-suited job.
This is Leena Singh from Mumbai. I am a part-time model & actress. I did my first AOL course in January, 2007, & became a devotee soon after the course. I do the Kriya daily without fail, & I have done almost 16 advance courses with Guruji's Grace. The Sudarshan Kriya really helped me smoothly sail through the hardships of life. What Guruji did for me cannot be described in mere words. Recently one big miracle happened in my life, which really shocked me and made me realise the vastness of my Masters' Grace. My husband Rakesh, had once gone to a doctor for some hair treatment. Before starting the treatment, the doctor asked him if he has any health issue, or if there was anything that made him feel uncomfortable.
On the 27th of October, 2014, I was blessed with the birth of a baby boy, my son. But on the same day, we were informed that the baby's food canal was blocked, as the baby was not in-taking Milk. Due to this, the Milk was flowing out from his nose and mouth. This was a very grave situation for me and my entire family. We were all shocked as to how such a tragedy could happen to a child who is just one day old on this planet. But there was no answer to our questions. A feeling of deep helplessness gripped me. Our Doctor advised for surgery, in order to open the baby's blocked canal, as that was the only option left. The Doctor also told us that this surgery would be risky and critical, and would have 50-50 chances of saving the baby.
I did my first Art of Living course in August, 2012, and that day transformed me forever. I was keen on doing the course since a long time, but as Guruji says, there is a prefect time for everything. I did my course when I needed it the most. I had done my Engineering and was confused about what I should do further. I thought of preparing for GATE at home and I studied for 6 months and gave the Exam, but the result was disastrous. I was not able to clear the cut-off. This made me extremely disheartened and depressed. Then I gave one more exam, though I was not able to get a good percentile in that too. It was truly the worst phase of my life but I still kept my faith strong and hope going, and I would do my Kriya very regularly and on time. Finally one night, Guruji came in my dream.
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.
Guru’s Miracles are truly beyond Time, Space and Distance! Nilesh Gupta did the Part-1 course in July; travelled to Perth in August to do the Advance Course with Chris Dale, and did the Sahaj Samadhi Meditation in mid November in Sydney.
I did the Yes+ course 5 years back, after a good 3 years of persistent insistence from my best friend. To give you a general idea about the kind of person I used to be;
Hi all, Just yesterday, my cousin sister asked me, “What do you get by following the Art of Living? What’s the point of following all this when you are still unsatisfied, unhappy?”
Being part of the Art of Living family, we see miracles happening every day in our lives. Whatever we pray for in our hearts immediately manifests with Divine blessings.
Jai Gurudev !!! My name is Sachin, and I have been a part of the AOL family since a while now.
Though there are many miracles happening with Guruji’s presence in our lives, I would like to share something which I recently experienced.
JGD! My family, including my parents and my sister, happened to visit Bangalore in early September of 2010. They were visiting the Bangalore Ashram for a Panchakarma treatment.
It is said that in the presence of a Guru, five things blossom. One of them is that all talents in a person manifest.
The story I am going to narrate happened on 31 Oct 2013. I was going home after ten months, from Bangalore.
JGD 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.
My mother stays in Bangalore and she is seventy years old. She is highly diabetic. She had gone to Bangalore Ashram (International Art of Living Center in India) to serve the cows on 20th August.
In July 2013, I took my father to the Montreal Ashram in Canada for Guru Purnima, even though he had never met Sri Sri before.
Jai Gurudev 🙂 My name is Bhakti Bakale. I live in Vasai (a locality Mumbai). Though there are many miracles happening with Guruji’s presence in our lives, I would like to share something which I recently experienced.
This is one incident I can never forget. I am an astrologer by profession. One day it so happened that, I had gone to meet my client over dinner, to finalize the amount (fees) for the ritual I performed for him during the course of a reality show (a television show).
Jai Gurudev Dear ones, Penning down your experience is just like a drop in this vast ocean of Divine love and grace.
My name is Rupen. I am a part of Art of Living since the August of 2012. There was a point where I discontinued because I believed there was no point in doing these breathing techniques and they would not help me.
My parents had gone to Rishikesh once, as Guruji was there. That day was an extremely auspicious one which had come after 400 years.
I remember writing letters to GOD when I was just a little kid- though demanding small things like “Please turn the Wednesday into Sunday so that my father can come back from his duty and stay with me.”
I had two angioplasties in 2004 and 2006 and thus remained on medication for 4 years. In January 2008, I did the Advance Course (my 6th one) in Ghoom with Sejalji.
I never had the guts to speak to Guruji. I used to make plans about things I would ask him, things I would tell him when I would meet him.
One of the best experiences of my life was when Guruji came to Mumbai in 2011, mid January,and the best part was my birthday too came on 15th January.
This incidence happened a few months before the Art of Living Foundation’s Silver Jubilee Celebrations and here is the recap… Looking back at the last few days in my life, I wonder if I’m still alive or this is just a dream I am still sailing through.
I am inspired to write one of my story, a devotee’s story that happened with me: The way it happened, why it happened everything had been just a miracle….
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.
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.
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.
