Moments so Far ...

There was theft in Novadaya Nagar, Kothnur dinne road in IT capital of India, Bangalore. The owner of the house went out between 7 and 9 PM and the thief broke in through the back door, threw all the clothes around and took away a canon SLR camera and projector. Around 10PM the police control room was called. We had to wait in queue before the call was answered with the option to call few other numbers in rush. Finally, a lady took the call and the complaint. 2 policeman were swiftly in about 15 minutes. The owner went through the routine of how it might have happened. They kept on insisting that the theft was because there was bike which was not cleaned for many days, and was kept outside house. It has been there for so many months then theft should have happened every day, correct? We asked them to discuss the matter with the labours who were working in neighbouring site/building. They refused and said first file complaint with Mr Manjunath from Subramanya police station befor...

Yesterday in evening satsang, someone asked Gurudev a very valid question? Will there be a time when all humans will be happy or will they always be in pursuit of happiness? Gurudev replied  It is like asking will all flowers bloom at same time? No, Every flower has a season, every flower withers. It is like asking will there be sunshine always?

You remain in grip of karma as long as you are in ignorance.  Post ignorance is the phase of acquiring knowledge, assimilating and creating a understanding of who we are and why does it have to be this way? Once the viveka (discret...

What is art of living? What does it mean to you? Art of living has taken a holistic approach to resolve human mind and life. It has sudarshan kriya, a breathing technique to give you most powerful of experiences in the shortest available time. If you do vipassana or any other technique then you may feel a sensation on 8th or 9th day of the course. In sudarshan kriya you get the same sensation in 10 mins or maybe half an hour. When you do the art of meditation or the advance/part 2 programme, you go deepen into the depths of the spirit and discover soft skills that were non-existent before, beside the supernatural experiences. If you just like to sing and dance then AOL (art of living) has satsang every evening at art of living international ashram on kanakapura road in Bangalore from 6:30 PM. On most days people have questions and on all days people get answers. If you believe in a social cause like environment or rights of girl child then AOL has collaborated with UN bodies...
