A day out in the Ashram !!

It was Sunday and our teacher planned for small get together for our DSN group  in the Art of living Internatoinal Ashram to see  our beloved Guruji his holiness Sri Sri Ravishankarji  .We finished our sadhana and kriya in the morning. We got together at around 1 o clock in the noon near our sadana center in jayanagara .Then we as a group moved towards the Ashram .We reached the ashram at around 2 o clock .Then we finished our lunch in the kitchen.Then it was time to have some rest.So our teacher guided us with  meditations and we rested  inside radha kunj in the ashram - one of the most beautiful places to take a stroll and admire the beauty of  the nature . It was like as if though we had gone past some ancient times .It was truly beautiful place .
Then the real fun started with some games to woke us up from sleep:-).We started with "Fire on the mountain Run run run !! " ,then  " Do u like Me ? " .
Then the most funniest and the most loviest game we played was "Catch  me If u can !! " . We were divided into two groups ,Team A and Team B,
and our teacher was the judge .I was heading Team 'A' .The first round was charged up and our Team A won the match by a margin of 16-5 . The first roiund was lots of masti,and both the teams were enjoying the moment .The Second round Team B won and then we congratulated each and everyone for the wonderful game !!
Then we were totally Exhausted and we were desperate in need of water !! Every one was so tired  playin the game that we didnt realise that we were thirsty.
But when we finished the game the urge for water was mind blowing !! There was no tap nearby Radha kunj so we needed to  walk a little bit .
Then we as group  went and had our real souce of happiness "WATER" . That day we as a group realised the importance of water :-)

Then we were eagerly waitin for guruji with flowers and sweets near Ganga Kutteer . We waited nearly half an hour and then we got a glimpse of  guruji comin
towards us .It was so touching that we could see guruji with such close distance and... u know what ? We were totally blank and didnt know wat to do We were just admiring the lovely,humble and the  most simplest person on Earth that was his holiness Sri Sri Ravishankarji !!
It was a great treat to our group we we happy :-) .
Then the time for masti again with Satsang . Then guruji addressed everybody with Q&A session .And also guruji guided us towards a short meditation of
"Hari Om ".

We winded up havin prasada and everyone was happy  and were in  total bliss.
That day was one of the most gifted days of my life :-)

It was a picnic of joy,fun,gratitude and love towards our master :-)

Jai  gurudev

Morning Group Sadhana !!

Morning group Sadhan with DSN friends :

Every morning getting at 4 am and getting ready for the sadhana is amazing .It makes my day .Its a sankalpa by our teacher we as a group come together for the sadhana everyday without fail .Our sadhana starts at 5am  and ends at 7.30 am which includes knowledge sessions of guruji .The bond which we have among the group is fantastic .we are moving as a group with guided direction of our teacher towards acheiving a goal.The journey towards that goal is the sweetest,hardest,and its a mixture of both.Everyday is a new  learning experience.Everyday one friend has to bring prasada to everybody.And every day we get new types of prasadas like Son papudi,Dharwad peda ,etc....Its a nice way to greet each other with sweets like that . Then the sadhana ends with Knowledge tapes of guruji .Then we wind up the day by wishing all of our friends a nice day ahead and a sense of love and gratitude towards guruji for giving us the knowledge :-)

jai gurudev !!

Dont Say No !!!

DSN - Dont Say no !!

An amazing course i did it recently with Ramprasadji !! 
It was one of my first DSN courses in Art of living .The energy of the group was amazing .
The course was in Manandi Sanskrithi Sadan , Jayanagar 5th block,bangalore.The course was scheduled for 3 and half days.
The three days were one of the most beautiful and memorable days of my life .I  enjoyed each and evrery moment of the course  .
The course helped me to come out of my 'comfort zone' :-) .Before the course i was too lazy to get up in the morning .Then after the course i am lively ,
energetic and i get up early in the morning . And for the record i woke up at 4.15 am every day during the course schedule and i am continuing the same timing's .
I found a new way of living dynamically starting ur day early and having enough time to explore your talents . So changes are necessary in one's life which i neede the most in my professional life . It was just the beginning of my blossoming like a flower with the grace of  guruji.  Then it made me tougher inside as well as from the outside.It made me think out of the box.
The core thing is that we must have a YES mind in our life in any situation .The YES mind is the only possible solution to any problems we face in our life .
YES mind is an open mind otherwise our mind is closed and we think that everyting is over but its not true  .If u ask definately u will be given.
I was able to  identify my barries in my life which made me stop doing things which i loved to do .Now i Do things without any barries, it just happens !!
 
Jai gurudev :-)
