Love moves the world- and it needs you

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar talks to a devotee at the Bangalore ashram

The month of May heralds Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar's birthday. Several seva projects will be conducted all over the world to mark Gurudev's birthday.

In our area, we distribute food and books for poor children.

We also celebrate Gurudev's birthday by offering the Mega Art of Living Basic course, all over the world.

Seva (Service) for this course begins in April, when we start inviting people to join the Mega Art of Living Basic course. The basic course teaches the invigorating and life-transforming breathing technique called the Sudarshan Kriya. A lot of research has been done on the Sudarshan Kriya and its benefit for health and well-being of an individual.

Gurudev Sri Sri has designed many other courses in the Art of Living, some focusing more on meditation and silence, others honing leadership qualities in an individual or removing energy blocks through spiritual means.

The Art of Living Foundation charges fees for each course. The money obtained from the registration fees is used for several social projects being carried out around the world. The entire organization is run by volunteers who love the ideals that Gurudev stands for and who unstintingly support his Peace mission. The Art of Living Foundation is like an ocean- what it has given to the world ranges from spiritual awareness to social responsibility, from love and compassion, from fun and festivity.

It is indeed a remarkable achievement of one Man who has moved the world with his love and devotion.

In my own limited experience, I have enjoyed singing devotional songs at soul-stirring Satsangs. I practice yoga and deep meditation in accordance with the principles of holistic living. I walk the streets of the city along with friends, meeting people from all walks of life, and convincing them of the benefits of holistic living. I have met street-dwellers to cinestars alike in pursuit of the projects. I have participated in intense and meaningful workshops at the ashram- for NGOs, for women of the world, for spiritual leaders.

There is no word called 'boredom' in the Art of Living, thanks to Gurudev's untiring work.

I am indeed blessed. Come and join our family and partake of this ocean of love.
