Towards a Healthy Life
JGD Being in the software industry, I used to work late hours, eat lot of junk food, have meals at irregular timings and would not even do any kind of physical activity or exercise.
Guru’s Grace
I was looking for job opportunities in Bangalore and went home for a few days as I was feeling home sick.
Whatever Happens, Happens For The Best
Jai Gurudev! My Guru story goes as follows… There was this one late evening, me and my mother were going back home from a meeting at the Art of Living center, Jaipur.
Testing The Master’s Love
The story I am going to narrate happened on 31 Oct 2013. I was going home after ten months, from Bangalore.
My Guru’s Grace
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.
Big Mind over Small Mind
Jai Gurudev. Below is an incident which changed the direction of my life and showed me the right way. I dragged myself through my SSC (10th standard exams), just dreaming of getting into the best possible college in Mumbai.
Presence Of My Master
The day was August 23, 2013. It was supposed to be just another ordinary Friday at work. Just as I was about to leave for office, I decided to go for an Ultrasound test of my stomach.
My all time Saviour
Jai Gurudev! I did my basic course in December 2003 at Chennai, greatly inspired by Guruji’s visit to Guindy Engineering College, shortly before the course.
Charismatic Kriya

Guru Krupa
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.
He Is Listening

He Is Always With Me, Wherever I Go!
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 Reward

Yes, He is Always Looking After You!
Well, well, well… My Guru story is finally here. As most of them have experienced His miracle moments, and I did too.
The Trial
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.
The Miraculous Instinct
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”.
The Power of Daily Meditation
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.

Have Faith in Him

The Divine Meeting
Dear Sri Sri, You have been so Great and Gracious, Magnanimous and Kind towards all of us. How can I express my Gratitude!

Celebrating My Birthday With Him
I had shifted from Ludhiana to Mysore about two months back to pursue an MBA. As the Bangalore Ashram is close by from Mysore, I was eager to meet Sri Sri as soon as I could.
Angels Do Exist
As most people who are connected to Sri Sri through the Art of Living are, I am also undoubtedly and one hundred percent convinced that I am totally taken care of by His Grace at all times.
