Tanzania

In next few days its going to be 1 month that I have been in Tanzania to conduct The Art Of Living Courses here. Dar e Salaam is the place where I m staying in . It is the financial hub of TZ {Tanzania}. The place is situated just next to the Indian Ocean so Shipping is one of the biggest industry here, as TZ provides all the materials imported to its neighboring countries like Kenya,Malawi,Zanzibar Uganda etc. Its very beautiful here but people here because of lack of education don't know how to turn it into a Industry. The countries economy is ruled by Gujrati's who have migrated here before independence.

Everything 3 times more than in India. But the Fruits & vegetables are blessing. One will only get organic stuff here as chemicals & fertilizers are very expensive . Its really a very good experience coming out of INDIA,getting to know so much about the world,different people,different religions/beliefs/ideologies. Its Fun, Learning & Sewa all together.

Krishna: Love Unparalleled - His Holiness Sri Sri Ravishankar

Krishna’s wisdom, humility and love are unparalleled. You see from any angle, there is a totality, a uniqueness, in Krishna’s personality. This indicates that your innermost has these qualities just like a ray of sun which has all colours.

Once Queen Kunti, mother of the Pandavas, told Krishna, “I wish I had more troubles. You were always with me when I had troubles. Nothing can equal the joy of your company. I can trade all the pleasures of the world for a moment of your Presence.”

Krishna gave her more knowledge of the Being: “I am in you as you. There is not a place in this world where I am not. People think of me as a physical body and they do not really know my nature. Body is made up of these eight aspects: earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intellect and ego. I am the ninth – beyond all this. I am allpervading. Though I am in the body, I am not the body. Though I am working through the mind, I am not the mind. I am much more than what you perceive. I am present in your heart as you and anytime you need me, I am there. You can always count on me”.

Saints fell in love with Krishna. The dispassionate would be drawn to him. Krishna means that which is attractive. The very core of your Being is such, the bliss and joy of the Self is like that. It just draws everything. The symbolism in Krishna's birth is beautiful. Devaki as the body and Vasudev as prana or breath came together to bring forth Krishna.
Krishna is always depicted as the Blue God. It means that the body is so transparent, almost as if it was not there. Whatever is infinity is represented by blue. The sky is blue, and so is the ocean. Krishna says in the Gita: “People do not know my true nature. Nobody knows.” In all his life only three people knew his true form – Yashoda, Arjuna and his childhood friend Uddhava. Krishna says: “People think of me as a physical embodiment, as a body. I am not the body; I am the Consciousness which is present in everything, everywhere… I am the sweetness in sugar, the light in the moon, the heat in the sun.” He expresses himself as ‘all-permeating’.

Krishna always stands with one foot firmly on the ground, the other foot crossed over, as though it is touching, but not really touching. It is elsewhere. That is called the ‘tribhangy’ pose, implying perfect balance. Krishna was makhan chor, stealer of butter. Butter is from milk. Milk is fermented to get curd and the curd is churned to get butter. Life is a process of churning. Your mind is being churned by so many things, events, happenings and instances.

Finally, what comes up is butter which is the saintliness in you. And Krishna steals the butter, the saintliness. It means he loves this mind which is like butter, which is not hard. This means infinity is coming towards you, loves you so much that it steals you at any cost. He seeks you out, wherever you are.

Janmashtami is the day when you enliven the virat swaroop – the cosmic vision – of Krishna in your own consciousness, once again. Letting your true nature manifest in your day-to-day life is the real secret of Krishna’s birth.

4 stages of consiousness









Guruji once said established a very profound knowledge so easily,here is what i could recall...

whenever you start something you are Incompetent to do it & even unaware that you can do it. But as and when you start practicing it you become aware that yes you can do it .Its not impossible even though you are still in competent in it.

For example:- When you didn't knew how to drive at that time it used to amaze you so much ,that how these people can drive in this traffic so comfortably.But as & when you start driving you get to know that someday you can drive well even though you are not doing so now.

And when you further practice it, you become competent & aware.For example:- You start listening to music simultaneously when you drive.

And after more diligently practicing then comes the stage when you become alert and you can afford to be unaware.Like you can leave the steering,listen to music & talk to co passengers etc at the same time.

This is what Sadhana do to you. Before experiencing it your not aware how it can transform your life,how it can broaden your capabilities.

Students experience higher concentration,better relations with peers and parents.
Adults performs well in their workplace.So don't miss any opportunity to bring people to this amazing knowledge & experience.

One Knowledge point by Bawa



The YES+ in kolkata was a blast and the biggest YES+ in the world. From there I landed in Mumbai on 16th Feb. to create another bigger event. And we certainly did!!! 1026 youths went through the transformation with 2 sweethearts BAWA N DINESH dada, in a beautiful hall in Dadar, Yogi Sabha Griha.


This whole tour has been an amazing learning & polishing experience for me. Just a few days back Bau met the participants in an orientation session before the course and said a superb knowledge point. He asked,’ how many of you have watched Spiderman?” In the movie a line has been mentioned in a subtle way many times and the answer came,”With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility”. So, does it really happens to people that when they wake up from their sleep they have bulging body and web support to move from building to building? NO. There is a huge gap between reel life and real life.


It’s rather the other way as Guruji says,” With Great Responsibility come Great power”.

Responsibility is something which is not given rather taken, because it makes you move out of your comfort zone and break off all your inhibitions .And you will see people always to look up to them who come forward and take the initiative & responsibility. Just see in your life their must be someone in your class /work area that you always look for when in any crisis. Isn’t it?


And one more thing is that you would never be asked about to do anything that is out of your capabilities. Like if you are a lawyer then would never be asked to build an aquarium. Are you getting it?

As today is Ram navami this example would be apt. Ram took the responsibility to give Sugrivh his rights and his wife from Bali. And having done that he was helped with Sugrivh’s vanar sena, signifying that Ram was equipped with power then.

In Kolkata

Here in kolkata the things ,people ,perception of people are so different.The same intro talk which would otherwise have inspired hundreds of youths to join our YES+ bandwagon is also not making any difference. God/Guru certainly loves fun thats for sure. And time & again makes us realize us to surrender since we are instruments and HE is the musician.

In the meanwhile I did few satsangs and quite a few are lined up for coming days. Even attended Vikram dada's satsang and had a knowledge session with him exclusively for YES+ .

I saw AVATAR in 3d which was like superbly fantabulous.Something that's beyond someone imagination.If you haven't seen it yet do yourself a favour and watch it. I m yet to see 3 idiots !!!

And right from the day we have landed here the thing i have been doing the most is eating and eating and eating some more. I guess I have also put up some weight.

Will keep ou all posted about the happenings here.

Jaigurudev !!!
