An invitation to Thiru Aadi Pooram festival Satsang with Sri Arunji at SriVilliputtur

An invitation to Thiru Aadi Pooram festival Satsang with Sri Aruji at Sri Villiputtur




The primary landmark of Sri Villiputtur is the 11-tiered tower structure dedicated to the Lord Vatapatrasayee. The tower  rises 192 feet high and is the official symbol of the Government of Tamilnadu. It is said to have been built by Periyaazhvar with a purse of gold that he won in debates held in the palace of Pandya King Vallabhadeva. Due to the divine birth of Sri Andal in this town, it got the honorific of Srivilliputhur eventully to become part of the celebrated 108 Divya Desams.


Thousands of people throng the temple town every year to participate in the fortnight long Thiru Aadi Pooram festival and to witness the annual car festival. The festival marks the adoption of presiding deity, Sri Aandal, by Periyazhwar after he had found her near a Tulsi plant in the nandavanam of Vatapatrasayee Temple.


Shri.Arunji will lead a Divya satsang on Monday, the 1st August 2011 from 7pm onwards with Govindan Pugazh paadum keerthanaigal.   The car festival commences 8am following morning.

All are cordially invited

குருஜி ஸ்ரீ ஸ்ரீ ரவிசங்கர் அவர்களின் ஞானம் - கனடா ஆசிரமத்தில் நடைபெற்ற சத்சங்கம்

1 May 2010
Canadian Ashram


Q: What are your thoughts on the ‘Modern theory of evolution’? If it is true, then at what stage do souls come? What happened to souls before that?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Modern theories are evolving. They think that things have to begin somewhere. I would call it as linear understanding. But there is a spherical thinking, that is lacking here. In the Orient, there is sperical thinking. In the Occident, there is only linear thinking. According to that , everybody had to be born, there had to be one Adam and Eve, and all are their children. That means everybody is sibling of each other. Then how could one be married to anybody? This is what is called the original sin. Because that way marriage itself is a sin. If God could create one Adam and one Eve, then why couldn’t he create ten such. And then why would God create such an apple, fruit of wisdom, if He was to ask them not to eat that? These things need to be understood. Our understanding is very limited. We need to think spherical. In spherical thinking, there was not only one being who was created in the beginning, but everything simultaneously came into existence. The whole world came into existence simultaneously. What would you say if I ask you about the beginning point of a tennis ball? Every point in the tennis ball is the first point, and the last point as well. Ancient people had this spherical thinking, and that is why they said, “The world is Anadi and Anant(Beginingless and endless )”. The souls are beginingless and endless. And the cause of the existence of the universe, that is the divinity, is beginingless and endless. All three are one. This is the theory of Advaita that everything is made up of one. This is the theory of relativity. This is what the String theory and the modern scientists say. Einstein was startled when he read Bhagwad Geeta.
All is made up of the same consciousness. In animal cookies, all animals like elephants, giraffes, Zebra, Cat are made up of the same size. Children think that they are eating different animals but the maker knows that all is made up of the same. Objects in the universe, living or non – living, moving or non – moving, are made up of the same. This is what is said in scriptures like Upanishads and ‘Guru Granth Sahib’(Sikh holi scripture). Sikhism has one of the best greetings in the world – Satsriakal. Sat is truth, Sri is wealth, and Akal is beyond time. So when you greet saying Satsriakal, it means, ‘May you understand the true wealth, the timeless spirit that you are. Everyday you greet each other and remind that you are the timeless eternity, infinity and true wealth. What are you looking for here and there? Isn’t that great?

Q: If everything is changing and transient, then what is the point in doing anything?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: What is the point in asking this question? What is the point of understanding? You do because you can’t but do something in this world. So, even that is the part of the change. ‘Everything is changing’ – this is for an understanding. You have to keep doing, and if you do things that brings you peace, and which will take you towards evolution, it is like swimming along the current. And if you do something against the evolution, it is like swimming against the current.

Q: What can I do to come out of the guilt and self judgement? I feel so bad when I do things even though I know in my heart that what I have done is the best for me?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: More advance courses.


Q: I don’t know what the aim of my life is? I lost my parents long ago, and I see them in dreams everyday. Sometimes I see you. What does that mean?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: That is ok. Dream is another dimension where all these things exist, all the experiences come. So, when you wake up, be fully in the waking state.



Q: How does the end of this pencil erases? (Laughter from audience)

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: That is what every pencil is supposed to do. Life is that way. If every pencil i.e. every human being can erase whatever the mind writes, you become hollow and empty. If you can erase everything – Right-Wrong, good-bad, you become hollow and empty.


Q: I am going through a hard time in life. My wife cheated on me but now wants to be back. What to do? I don’t have much trust anymore, but I find it hard to breakup. I am confused and worried about the future. Can the love develop again?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Ya, certainly. Have a broad mindset. Suppose you were in that state. You made a mistake and you repented it, and you want your wife to forgive you. How would you feel if she doesn’t and hold on to it. How would you feel? Same way a mistake has happened through her. Some mistakes happen through you and some through her. Forget about it. Live in the present moment. Give her a chance. Move on to the future. But if it keeps happening too many times, then you can take a decision. If it is once or twice, you should give her a fair chance. If it happens more than three times, then you put your foot. I have no experience in this field. I can’t give any better advice on this. So, this could be a suggestion. I don’t know in what way has she cheated you, but it may not be so intentional. Our ‘Art of Living’s’ policy is not to see intention behind others’ mistakes. Once, twice, thrice as much as your capacity is there, you keep forgiving. But then when it comes upto your neck, you say, “No more”.
There was a king who was all the time hurling abuses at Lord Krishna, when Lord Krishna was here on the planet. This Jarasandha was insulting him, and spreading wrong rumours about him. Lord Krishna forgave him not once, twice but 100 times. His patience was 100 times. But then Lord Krishna said, “I have forgiven you 100 times. I am not going to stop now. I want to finish off you now. I have given you enough room, you didn’t change. The only way is you to be punished”. So, it depends upon our capabilities. Jesus also said to forgive. See how much patience you have. How much can you take to forgive? Not just your wife but everybody for that matter.


Q: Can you please describe me what ego is? How can one resolve ego? How do ego and love go together, or don’t they?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Ego is a sense of seperateness, a sense of identity. There are three ways to see ego.


1. Ego is identity. I am this. This is one ego.


2. Ego is also I am not this.


3. Ego is also I am seperate from others.


How to dissolve this ego?


Either you expand your ego. I am this, I am that, I am that too. For instance, one ego is that you think you are an officer. But if you are stuck with only being an officer, and you come home and be officer to your kids and wife, you create a problem. Suppose you are a major or colonel in the military, and if you behave with your family in the same role, then you are stuck in your ego of being an army officer. Your one identity is that you are a colonel, but you are a father/mother with your children, you are a husband/wife with your spouse, you are a son/daughter with your parents and so many. When you balance all these identities in your life giving equal importance to all these, that is the way you dissolve your ego. Ego is getting stuck with any one identity. From that limited identity to identify with the unlimited divinity is the path of expanding, or you can call it dissolving identity. So you move from me to Aham Brahaman, I am somebody to becoming I am nobody, and I am nobody to I am everybody. Now this looks very philosophical. You can’t go to your office and say that you are nobody, nor can you say at your home that you are everybody. It is not going to work. So, I would say that the simple way to counter your ego is to be natural. Ego makes you feel uncomfortable, unnatural and seperate. Egolessness,or expanded ego or transformed ego is being at home, being natural with everyone in every circumstances. Rather, it is being like a child. I would say just be like a child.


One last thing I would like to say about ego is that if you find you have any ego, then don’t try to dissolve it. You can keep it in your pocket. Don’t meddle with it, and don’t bother about it. Let it be there. Ok?

Q: How can I safely detoxify my body?


Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Pranayama, proper diet, raw food, juice, vegetables, and relaxation.


Q: Which decisions are to be taken from heart, and which are to be taken from head?


Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: When you are to do business, you do it with your head. When you are to do service, you do it from your heart.


More from the same knowledge session will be included in the next post.

“That which you cannot express is Love.


That which you cannot reject/renounce is Beauty.

Turning India Around through the power of the pen

Turning India Around through the power of the pen

Art of Living and Bharath Gyan launch 'YOU TURN INDIA'
 
Bengaluru, Karnataka, July 12, 2011 /India PRwire-- The Art of Living and Bharath Gyan launched a book 'YOU TURN INDIA' - a comprehensive analysis of India's present predicament due to the rampant corruption prevalent today. Honorable Justice Santosh Hegde, the Lokayukta of Karnataka, released the book and presented the first copy to eminent film Director, Nagathihalli Chandrasekar.
Also present on the occasion were Dr. S R Leela, Member of Legislative Council, Karnataka. Speaking on the occasion, Justice Hegde said, "The Fight Against Corruption is important. Do not treat it just as a second choice. The Prime Minister had once said that we should develop zero tolerance against corruption. Today, we have developed tolerance to Zeroes. I complement the authors for the wonderful book and the research that they have put in to bring back the glory of India. I hope it is possible to bring it back."
The book identifies the three waves of plunder that have impoverished India in the last 1000 years. The present wave of plunder, by Indians themselves, on India, in the last few decades, is perhaps the largest in magnitude. But fortunately this third wave is reversible. Written by D K Hari and D K Hema Hari, this book recommends a strategy for not only recovering the hoarded monies but also rejuvenating India with these monies.
Shri. Nagathihalli Chandrasekar described Dr Hari's new book as a depiction of enlightenment and knowledge and said, "When all of us have become cynical and frustrated this book comes as a hope".
"We have been focusing for a long time on the poverty of India. We have never taken a moment to step back to look at the wealth that was in India and the wealth generating potential of India. We talk of repeated plunders but miss out on the fact that all these have happened because there has been lot of wealth. YOU TURN INDIA was born out of our desire to turn this issue upside down and look at the ways to generate more wealth, harness it, safeguard it, deploy it objectively and judiciously for sustained prosperity." share the Authors.
The Art of Living under the guidance of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has and continues to spread awareness against the rising menace of corruption. Bharath Gyan has been compiling knowledge of India and its pan global ties through the ages, from a scientific, rational and integrated perspective. Based on this knowledge compilation, they have authored seven books which include Triple Eclipse, Historical Rama, Ayodhya War and Peace, Understanding Shivaand produced two films, on the subject of India in the last two years. More are in the pipeline.
YOU TURN INDIA is a joint effort by The Art of Living and Bharath Gyan as it aims to create awareness and bring forth a clear direction for the future, so that each one can play his part in turning India around, from a land of plunder to a land of sustainable prosperity.
Notes to Editor
About Art of Living Anti- Corruption campaign:
The Art of Living has actively supported the India Against Movement led by Anna Hazare. In the words of its founder, Sri Sri, corruption begins where a sense of belongingness ends. "You draw a circle of belongingness around you and corruption begins only after that. Politicians need to be more spiritual, by spiritual I mean have a sense of belongingness with people. That spirit is somewhere going down. That is why we feel that corruption or unethical business have all sprung up. We need to inculcate these value systems in our youth. The youth are ready for this, they want it!" he says.

Wipe the slate clean: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Wipe the slate clean: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar | Tuesday, July 12, 2011

The mind that is not united with your inner self acts, like your enemy. That mind which has been won over, which is unwavering is your best friend. Befriend and work your mind. This is the message of yoga. Save the mind at all costs is the message of Bhagvad Gita. We are not defending our own mind. We are simply moving outwards. The inward journey, is yoga and outward journey is Bogha (enjoyment). Unless you take the mind inward you can’t even enjoy the world outside. When the mind goes deep inside, it experiences yoga and then you will be able to enjoy.

That mind, which is centred, reflects the universal self. If the water is muddy and with waves, it cannot reflect but if the water is still, you can see the reflection. Similarly when the mind is pleasant, happy, content and peaceful, then the universal spirit or the big mind, reflects itself.

The yogi self is satisfied through knowledge and realisation. He is steady and has the senses under control. Lord Krishna says: The yogi looks at everyone with the same attitude or the same sight. One who is connected with the being, sees friends and foe equally. He perceives the same consciousness present in every one. Because beyond the outer expression and roles they are playing, they are part of one consciousness. There are two signs of such a person, gyana and vigyana —the subjective knowledge and objective knowledge. Bhagvad Gita, tells you to be scientific in your approach. That is why Lord Krishna, after giving this knowledge to Arjuna, tells him to accept what appeals to him. “Don’t just accept because I am saying so,” he says.
 
Your mind is bombarded with impressions all the time and it is always under pressure. When it cannot handle it anymore it slowly leads to paranoia and psychological illnesses like schizophrenia and depression. Paranoia is nothing but an impression that did not get relieved or erased. If your life is all about seeing through the past impressions, you will have no future experience in life. Our mind our memory is like a slate. If you write something on a slate, with a chalk, and without rubbing it, you over-write again and again on top of it, finally you will not be able to read anything. Similarly, meditation, is wiping cleansing, the past impressions from the mind.

If you don’t cleanse the mind of impressions, then you have to carry the same mind and same impressions with you after death.

Sri Lanka`s unique tribute to the 30 years of Art of Living

Sri Lanka`s unique tribute to the 30 years of Art of Living

The Year of Yoga Worldwide

When an Island celebrates Yoga, even Continents join in !  
The Art of Living Foundation in Sri Lanka is all set to make the art of living on an island - a refreshingly new experience. The charity Foundation is to celebrate the period December 2011 - December 2012 as the Year of Yoga Worldwide while also inviting Art of Living centres continent-wide to tune-in for more health and happiness. 

A full year dedicated to heighten awareness and deliver the direct experience of yoga as a life-supporting science. The Year of Yoga Worldwide is a handsome tribute from Sri Lanka to commemorate the 30 years of Art of Living`s humanitarian service lead by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

The World Culture Festival held in Berlin on July 2nd 2011 heard Sri Sri Ravi Shankar say “ Whatever  the circumstances are, we will continue to serve the world as one human family with differences. It is time to celebrate the differences and celebrate life on this planet. With all the volunteers, we are sure we can create a stress-free, violence-free society for our children ”.  The Year of Yoga Worldwide is inspired by this very vision. 

For 30 years now, the Art of Living has been in the forefront of delivering the best of yoga programs and humanitarian service initiatives reaching out to over 30 million in over 140 countries.

The Year of Yoga Worldwide will include educational exhibitions, town-hall workshops, awareness camps, lec-dem`s (lecture cum yoga demonstrations),  presentations of yoga case studies, fact – sheets, research findings. Campaigns on healthy food, lifestyle and habits, women and childrens` health, spiritual wisdom, environment and ayurveda are also to be showcased in several countries to mark the year.

The theme of the Year of Yoga Worldwide is also expected to cater to the needs of several people across continents including families below the poverty-line, rural youth, internally displaced people, refugees and prison inmates, students, police, armed forces, corporate executives, sports persons and persons with health conditions like diabetes, asthma, migraine, obesity, chronic conditions and many other health imbalances.

Several international health organizations and health brands are also expected to come together to endorse the status of yoga as a life-supporting science. Impetus to research and development initiatives on yoga and breathing techniques will also find high emphasis in the calendar of events.

Moreover, yoga beginners and enthusiasts will get to experience the paths of yoga at the Spring- Summer and Autumn - Winter Yoga Festival scheduled during the year in several regions. Some of the unique programs in the Festival include Sri Sri Natya – Yoga with dance, Yoga and Meditation, Food for Yogis, Laughter Yoga (Hasya Yoga), Subtle Yoga (Sukshma Yoga), Yoga and Ayurveda, Yoga and breath, Yoga for women, Yoga and creativity and exclusive yoga modules for various health imbalances and conditions.

The life-supporting science of yoga as delivered by the Art of Living yoga nourishes the very root and basis of human life – the prana (in the Indian language Sanskrit - the subtle life source energy) to promote health. Unique and effective breathing techniques like the Sudarshan Kriya, Kanishta Pranayama and Padmasadhana are just some of the many offerings that people will get to experience in the World Yoga Festival and the innumerable events scheduled in the Year of Yoga Worldwide.

இந்தியாவின் பிரகாசமான பக்கங்கள்

இந்தியாவின் பிரகாசமான பக்கங்கள் 


இந்தியாவால் ஊழலும் வறுமையும் மட்டும் இல்லை , மேலும் பல நல்ல விஷயங்களை இந்த உலகத்திற்கு தரமுடியும் என்பதற்காக  உலக பிரசித்தி பெற்ற ஆன்மீக குரு ஸ்ரீ ஸ்ரீ ரவிசங்கர் அவர்கள்  
ஜெர்மன் நாட்டின் பெர்லின் நகரில் "உலக கலாச்சார திருவிழா" என்ற பிரம்மாண்டமான நிகழ்ச்சியை நடத்துகிறார்

கடந்த பல வாரங்களாக நடைபெற்று கொண்டிருக்கும் நிகழ்வுகளால் , இந்தியாவின் கெளரவம் தகர்ந்து கொண்டிருக்கும் பொழுது , இந்தியாவால் ஊழலும் வறுமையும் மட்டும் இல்லை , மேலும் பல நல்ல விஷயங்களை இந்த உலகத்திற்கு தரமுடியும் என்பதை உணர்த்தும் விதமாக பல நல்ல நிகழ்வுகள் நடக்க இருகின்றன. அத்தகைய பேரு நிகழ்வு தான் ஆன்மீக குரு ஸ்ரீ ஸ்ரீ ரவிசங்கர் அவர்களின் வாழும் கலை அமைப்பின் 30 வது ஆண்டு விழா. பெர்லின் நகரில் நடக்க இருக்கும் உலக கலாச்சார திருவிழாவில்  உலகின் 151 நாடுகளிலிருந்து சுமார் ஒரு இலட்சம் மக்கள் கலந்து கொண்டு இந்திய ஆன்மீகத்தின் மூலமாக ஒரு மறக்க முடியாத அனுபவத்தை பெற இருக்கிறார்கள். பெர்லினின் ஒலிம்பியா ஸ்டேடியன் நடக்க போகும் ஐந்தே இரண்டு நாள் உலக கலாச்சார திருவிழா நிகழ்வில் பல நாடுகளின்  கலைநிகழ்ச்சிகள் நடைபெற்றாலும், அனைவரின் கண்களை கவர இருப்பது , பலதரப்பட்ட மக்களை ஒன்றிணைக்கும் இந்தியாவின் ஆன்மீக சக்தியாகும்.

பல கண்டங்களிருந்து , பல மதங்களிலிருந்து, பல பண்பாடுகளிலிருந்து மற்றும் பல்வேறு பின்னணி உடைய சுமார் 70000 பேர் ஒரே இடத்தில அமர்ந்து உலக அமைதிகாக தியானம் செய்ய போகும் நிகழ்ச்சி ஒரு அற்புதமான , கண்கொள்ளா காட்சியாகும். இந்த சில நிமிட நிசப்தமான அமைதியால் , ஹிட்லர் , லேடன் போன்றோரால் உருவாக்கப்பட்ட பிரிவினைகள் அழிக்கப்பட இருக்கிறது. 

இத்திருவிழா பல நாட்டு மக்களை ஒன்றிணைக்கும் நிகழ்வோடு மட்டுமல்லாமல் , இந்தியாவின் பெருமையான விஷயங்களுக்கு முக்கியத்துவம் கொடுப்பதாக அமையும். மேற்கத்திய நாடுகள் இந்தியாவை பற்றி பல காலமாக வைத்திருக்கும் பிம்பத்தை உடைத்தெறிந்து, இந்தியா, உலகையே அதிர செய்யும் ஒரு செழிப்பான நாடு என்று பறை சாற்றும் விதமாக , யோகா பூங்கா , யோகாவின் தோற்றத்தை பிரதிபலிக்கும் யோகா அருங்காட்சியகம் , இசையோடு கூடிய சூரிய நமஸ்காரம் , தொன்மையான சமஸ்க்ருத மந்திர உச்சரிப்போடு கூடிய பாரம்பரிய இந்திய ராகங்கள் மற்றும் தமிழ் கலைஞ்சர்களின் நாதஸ்வரம், தவில் போன்ற இந்தியாவின் அறிய பொக்கிஷங்களையும் வெளிபடுத்தும் விதமாகவும் இது அமையும்.

 இது வெறும் நிகழ்வாக மட்டும் அல்லாமல் , இந்தியாவக்கு மிகவும் ஒரு பெருமை சேர்க்க கூடிய விஷயமாக இருக்கும். இங்கு அமைக்கப்பட உள்ள யோகா பூங்காவிற்கு வருபவர்களுக்கு உடல் மற்றும் மன ஆரோக்கியம் , உள் அமைதி ஆகியவற்றிற்கு  யோகா எவ்வாறு பயன் படுகிறது என்பதையும் உலகில் அமைதியை நிலை நாட்டவதிலும்  , சமூக பணிகளுகளிலும் யோகா எவ்வாறு செயல் படுத்தபடுகிறது என்பதையும் விளக்கம் தரப்பட இருக்கிறது. 
 

சமீபகாலங்களில் யோகா , பிராணாயாமம் மற்றும் தியானம் ஆகிவற்றிற்கு  உலகளவில் கிடைத்திருக்கும் இந்த முக்கியவத்துவம் , உலக நாடுகள் இந்திய ஆன்மீகத்தை ஏற்று கொண்டு அதை முன் எடுத்து செல்ல தயாராக இருக்கிறது என்பதை உறுதி படுத்துகிறது. இந்த மாற்றத்தை உலக கலாச்சார திருவிழா பிரதிபலிக்கும் விதமாக அமையும்.

இதுவே ஸ்ரீ ஸ்ரீ ரவிசங்கர் அவர்கள் வாழும் கலையின் 30 வது விழாவை பெர்லின் நகரில் நடத்த காரணமாக இருப்பதாக தெரிகிறது. கடந்த பல வருடங்களாக ஸ்ரீ ஸ்ரீ அவர்கள் , இந்தியாவின் தொன்மையான ஞானத்தை , மிக எளிதான முறையில் கற்று கொடுபதற்கு பல நாடுகளுக்கு பயணம் செய்திருக்கிறார். ஐரோப்பா மற்றும் உலகில் உள்ள மற்ற நாடுகளில் உள்ள பெரும்பான்மயோர் ஸ்ரீ ஸ்ரீ அவர்களை பின்பற்றுகிறார்கள். அவர்கள் அவரை ஓர் அமைதி தூதுவராக காண்பதோடு மட்டுமல்லாமல் , அவர்கள் திருவிழாவில் காணும் எல்ல நல்ல விஷயங்களையும் இந்தியாவோடு தொடர்பு படுதுகொள்வார்கள். இது இந்தியாவை பற்றி தற்போது இருக்கும் கண்ணோட்டத்தை மாற்றி ஒரு நல்லவிதமான பெருமையை தரும் என்பது உறுதி.
