Maheshgiriji, Art of Living teacher, On the popularity of Art of Living




What is enlightenment all about?


Enlightenment is that state of being when no circumstances affect you or make your smile disappear. It is using intelligence in the right manner and expressing it in the right way. It's a journey from the atma to the parmatma.

What is it that is drawing so many people to this course?

The zest for life, the encompassing of opposites, to move beyond duality to wholeness is what is drawing the crowds.

How does Sudarshan Kriya aid better living?

This unique breathing practice in Sudarshan Kriya is a potent energiser. Every cell becomes fully oxygenated and flooded with new life. Negative emotions stored as toxins in the body are flushed out. Tensions, frustrations and anger get released. Anxiety, depression and lethargy are washed away. One is left calm and centred with a clearer vision of the world and oneself. And when we feel good about ourselves, love flows naturally in all our relationships with others.

How does it help in curing diseases?

Research has indicated that the Sudarshan Kriya aids in curing many diseases. Negative toxins are flushed out and each cell is flooded with new life to energise the body and mind. It releases neuropeptides, which influence the immune system positively and hence, the whole physiology. With Sudarshan Kriya, significant improvement was found in the patient's mobility, endurance levels and lung capacity while anxiety levels came down.

What is most needed by today's youth?

Today's youth require the right disha. They only need the guidance. The Art of Living course can help in providing that right path.

What's your message to our readers?

Respect all religions. Spirituality is taking responsibility for all the people in the world.

jai gurudev,
 
ARE WE REALLY DEMOCRATIC ??? IF YES THAN WHY TRUTH IS FORCED TO BE ENCLOSED.......
 
-We as Indians are proud to be living in the world's largest funtioning democracy.
 
-But maximum of us are unaware of the affairs of the state and country and wonder how the democratic system is useful to us.
 
-We get blind to what all is happening and adopt and attitude of "how does it concern me or my affairs".
 
-Since past all these years we have been sleeping "AB TO JAGO INDIA".
 
-Till now we kept waiting for sumthing to happen and waited for someone to do sumthing.
 
- But today when truthy is raising its voices to the eardrums of the people of our country who till now had become deaf and blind.
 
-It is no more a Ram Rajya where there was only truth and divinity. In this age truth has to be brought out to people and " so truth has to fight for its even its survival" and is killed or enclosed before it reaches to people.
 
-I ask the people of our country that ARE WE REALLY DEMOCRATIC.
 
-Then why existence of truth, divinity, unity of people , clean approaches are no more seen and dividing people , breaking harmony has become the game of politics.
 
-Why politics has become a poison to truth???
 
-Why politicians ensure that people never become aware of what is happening????
 
-Why it is that only during election times, issues are discussed and debated solutions and promises are made, but once a government is in power somehow not only people forger it is our right to question our leaders, but also our duty to do so???
 
-Why today when people are awakening and truth is finding a place in people's voices, when people are questioning and exercising their right to find truth then why such truth is forcefully been kept away from masses who still are blindly having faity on the country and its leaders.???
 
-Why our democracy is favourable to a specific party or is selectively exercised ????
 
-Why we don't ask all this questions to ourselves and the system ????
 
-Why we step back and don't support 'truth' . It is our duty towards humanity to stop explotation of people by not letting truth unrevealed and kept silent.
 
-Let us all stand up and now awake and not ponder to become a helpless victim of all this WHY's ??????
 
-" The wise take their own decisions, while the ignorant go with the public opnions "
 
-It's hight time to categorize ourself and either be wise who take decisions and exercise our democracy rights and stand up and speak and support truth or be an ignorant who just goes with propaganda of public opnions and becomes not only a 'deaf and blind but such peole are dumb too''
 
-We have laid blind faith and selected our leaders but they cannot be exploiters of people. And it is we who can stop them.
 
-It is a law of science that "when a spring is supressed , it bounces back with dual force and impact."
 
So let us be take the form of a bounce and act like a bounce to the spring of truth which is being supressed. .
-Democracy is not just to be seen as the freedom to choose between the politicians. In real sense democracy is to be aware of 'what is the real need of political parties and govern our country.'
 
-The real sense of democracy is when people are aware and they have right to find truth, speak truth, bring truth to th public , spread the truth and to go by the truth and people who favour the nation and not just any particular person or party.
 
-It is the duty of every individual to be more alert, more intelligent and more awaken and aware of the real sense of democracy.
 
-The real democracy is when people decide on thier own by reviewing truths and not by the political propaganda from particular party.
 
-Where people will be choosing their canditates on thier records, qualities , work done and thier intellectual level and progessive and open mind for the development and betterment of the nation.
 
where candidates dont have to beg for votes, make false promises during elections and kiss a child of the poor and shake hands , be a eradicator of pain of people by becoming their listerner for their selfish motives just during elections. Instead real democracy will be when people find candidates who are worth handling the highest level of authority and persuade the candidates to take their responsibility of the nation and say " We wand you to be in parliament and make the future of our nation by being our represtative".
 
-We need such people who are neither baised , nor selfish and who think intelligently, act practicaly in favour of nationa and follow the path of truth , love and harmony by abiding unity in diversity.
 
-So this is the time Lets all open our eyes and find answers to all the above why's ???
 
-Lets not voting be blind, because we dont' choose good governance but choose utter slavery.
 
-Lets not just cling to word 'Fate' and give away our nations fate but " WRITE OUR OWN FUTURE AND DECIDE OUR FATE WITH JUST ONE FINGER".
 
-It's time for action India "Ab to sachahiye ka sath de, sachahiye ki rah par chale, aur sachahiye ke deep jalake desh ka bhavishya ujwal banaye".
 
-Let's join hands and STOP REPENTING and START REVEALING TRUTHS.
 
-"SATYE MEV JAYATE " . ITs time to bring real democracy to truth and FIGHT FOR THE FREEDOM OF TRUTH.
 
-India "AB TO JAG JAOOO" ........
 

India needs a perfect makeover.

 

 

The first question to be thought about for a perfect makeover is what India needs ?

 

  • Years of liberalization have been passed but has India really got a perfect makeover , is the progress of our country  up to mark .

 

  • India is  caught by global slowdown that has raised  the situation of competing crisis, reduced employment and derailed growth.

 

  • The country is terror struck and is facing challenges from the neighborhood.

 

  • Today India is capable of becoming a super power and can be  gazed by the world.

 

  • But the urgency of the current situations is due to the inadequate response and the inability of the political parties who sloth in the fulfillment of the purposed commitments .

 

  • Our leaders now need to act immediately without any excuses on the success of the commitments which has a prerequisite of  the betterment of the nation. The new face of India will need serious actions on the challenges which our country is facing.

 

  • A long term study on the drawbacks of the nations is to be understood and actively dealt with alternative solutions.

 

  • Today the global meltdown has killed demand and sucked investments. More and more people are turning jobless , even professionals are roaming around street to street penniless.

 

  • The 2009 , 15th lok sabha elections were the most unhealthy elections of the recent times . As parties kept attacking more on personal levels, rather than over the issues of the nation.

 

  • The relocation of IPL was discussed more and there were no statements which highlighted better education or development of nation or any actions to be taken to compete with the current economic crises.

 

  • There were just attacks of past made by parties on each other along with more showbiz over the personality and style but lacked substance or ability for a good governance.

 

  • Money was thrown just for campaigning through every possible channel but there was no matter to talk for. People of our country still showed their lack of responsibility as the figures show a mere poor voting.

 

  • Over 300 million Indians live below poverty line and agricultural produce worth 60,000 crore is rotten every year due to failure in proper distribution channels- The rich are getting richer and the poor are becoming poorer.

 

  • Our infrastructure is very low. City like Bombay which is the biggest attraction of people all around the world get duped in water just by a little more than average rains. Lot many programmes and projects of infrastructure of inter state and nations highways are just prevalent on papers.

 

  • Even our education system has lacked behind and there are deficits of teachers and number of universities . Students leave the country for better education and job opportunities from India.

 

  • Independence has yet not made our country free from the ugly faces of superstitious and rituals on the name of religion and god. Amongst the serious problems is the ratio of female v/s male is getting below 927 female per every 1000 males.

 

  • Corruption has eaten the country like parasites , lack of defense system and poor number of police , improper availability of weapons , and deficit in even the safety measures for our army is a shame for our country. In the terror attacks at taj and oberio our saviors of life were killed due to lack of bullet proof jackets.

 

  • Our country is suffering from many such severe problems like global warming and others which needs to fight out. The new make over of our India will be when all the above issues are given prior attention.

 

  • People of India have to raise their voice by 100% voting and electing their government  and making them accountable for the promises made . People should exercise their right to information to know the disbursement of country’s capital in order to kill corruption which is hindering country’s growth.

 

  • Only 100 % voting can make the political people act and not just talk. It is the duty of citizens to keep a watch after elections that parties work for the gains of nation and not personal gains.

 

  • Leaders of our country need to apply tactics and control the slowdown like countries like China which has created a queue of investments through various projects to raise the domestic demand through investments.  If we channelize our employment and create more opportunities than our challenges of rising populations can itself be a boon.

 

  • Our billion plus population has young working people who could be the bridging gap to consumption, growth , income and creating new opportunities through fresh new ideas of business.

 

  • The perfect makeover of India will be when there will be good education facilities, better employment opportunities, growth in gdp  and disbursement of money to poor people. Where there will be enough food and hygiene facilities for people.

 

  • When environment , forest and endangered species would be saved . India is a land blessed with natural beauty and our country needs to save it and create more tourism opportunities by being a great host.

 

  • Better education system and growth of more number of universities to attract students from all over the world. Improvement in infrastructure which can channelize transport and business opportunities.

 

  • Proper and advance safety measures and intelligence to track terror and safeguard the people from terror activities.

 

  • Where we Indians are proud of our culture and heritage . Our country can have a perfect  makeover only when the cake called India has proper mixture of right policies and actions of development and eradication of the flaws ,has perfect blend of humanity, equality, secularism, commitment and faithfulness  and truth topped with an icing of Indian culture and religion.

 

  • The perfect make over of India will be when we together raise our voices and STOP WAITING AND START ACTING.

 

  • The perfect new face of India will give our country  an agenda which will make INDIA A SUPER POWER.
