Tera May 2020

We cannot keep calm when its our beloved Master’s birthday!

13th May like every year is a special day for us and we do grand celebrations as its the birthday of the Founder of The Art of Living Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. However, this year the celebrations took off on a different mode as the whole world fights back the deadly pandemic Covid19. This year we did Online celebration and people from different corners of the world joined us LIVE!

Morning celebrations began with Sadhna (daily practice of Yoga & Sudarshan Kriya gifted by Gurudev to the humanity), Guru Puja (a thanks giving ceremony to the tradition of the Masters) and cake cutting. Evening celebrations had some musical element in the form of Satsang which brought out the sheer joy & enthusiasm inside us. We all realised how badly we are missing our Monday Satsangs. A blissfull chanting of the Guru Puja and of course the cake cutting marked the end of this beautiful day.

We are ever grateful to Gurudev to have blessed us with his presence in our lives and on this planet.

Prajna Yoga Follow-up!

Intuition is the knowledge that comes from within!😌
For children, it is easy to tap into and develop this intuitive dimension. As their minds are fresh, less obsessive and more in tune with nature.
Yesterday we had a fantastic follow-up with our intuition kids!🥳
We are so amazed after hearing their experiences,the way they have developed their intuitive abilities through simple still unique exercises and meditation which they have learnt in Program called ” Prajna Yoga – Intuition Process”! The daily #practice (#sadhana ) is impacting and improving their #studies , #talents#communication and #creativity !
Stay tuned with us to know and register your child for upcoming Intuition program! ✌🏻😃

Jitubhaiya thought of starting 2016 with something that can be of great help for the volunteers & help them to get closer to their dreams, making 2016 worth remembering for them.
And so, we organised a special session on “Resolutions” with New Year’s first follow-up. It was amazing with around 100 volunteers turning up to make themselves clear about their New Year resolutions.

Jitubhaiya explained and guided them about some essentials of taking a resolution and how to stick with them all through the year. Also, gifted a special resolution card to help them remember and stick to their resolution each day.

It was indeed a great start to the year!
