  I am associated and connected to Sri Sri since 12 years now, have been travelling for Satsangs and Courses to nearby places while also looking after my business (Manufacturing Paints). Whenever I was out of my factory, there used to be some or the other problem that worried me. Due to this I was continuously e-mailing Guruji about the issues but didn’t get any reply. This went on for 2 years. In between, I had recorded my album and had met Guruji to give Him the CD and get it blessed. When, I met the publication authorities in the Ashram. I got to know that because of various problems, my CD could not be released. This was shocking and I was weeping in Ashram the whole day. Finally, in total frustration, I wrote to Gurudev about my experiences, and the amount of issues I was going through. I wrote to Him this final email & forgot about it, thinking that He must be running short of time to read it. I thought to myself, He just keeps on saying that He cares but in reality its nothing like that. To my surprise, 20-25 days later, in the night at 10:45 pm, I received a call. When I answered the call, a lady asked me if I had written an email to Gurudev. I was annoyed and replied that I had but asked who was calling. And the reply I got was - "EK MINUTE GURUJI BAAT KARENGE!!!" (Just hold for a minute- Guruji will talk to you)....

The Power in Master Grace
 This is an unforgettable phase of my life. The death of my dear mother had devasted me. The health of my uncle (the only father figure at home) was deteriorating day by day. He felt he was a liability for us and his illness was hindering our lives. My daughter Sanaya too, had long working hours (sometimes even till 2AM). On the day of Holi (this festival comes in March) evening, when everyone was resting having celebrated this day of colors a disaster occurred in our lives. My uncle had committed suicide. It had broken me down completely. I had planned to go for Sangeeta Jani’s (a senior teacher of art of living) Advance Course at Matheran (a hill station near Mumbai) which was scheduled shortly after this incident. For obvious reasons, I had to cancel it. However, our beloved Guruji blessed me and told me....

My Guru, My Blessing
 I have been staying all by myself in Bangalore since I started college. It’s been quite difficult for me to survive here alone. Living by yourself in a new city is never too easy. I had started smoking and alcohol had become an integral part of my life. I felt I could not do without it. It was more of a psychological thing. I kept looking for support in the outside world. Little did I know, it was all within. Since the time I did my first Sudarshan Kriya (meditation and breathing technique taught in the art of living basic course), I started feeling the positivity in my life. I could feel the energies changing. My life had taken a big turn since then. Recently, I completed my Law degree from a reputed college, but was unemployed. I had been trying really hard to get a job at the earliest, as I had to support myself, but all my efforts were in vain. Though somewhere down the line, I had this faith that everything will be taken care of. Last week, I had an interview scheduled with a multinational company for a Legal post. I sincerely prayed before going for the interview. After the first round of Interview, when I got an opportunity to interact with the other candidates who had come for the interview, I found that...

One World Family
 I knew the Art of Living Course has benefited me a lot, and I wanted my family members to experience the same bliss. If not all the courses, then at least the basic course, at least they should experience the magic of Sudarshan Kriya (breathing and meditation technique). I don't even expect them to practice it daily, but at least complete the Part 1 course. Just doing the Part 1 Course is good enough. The Guru Grace is such that the 1st Sudarshan Kriya itself burns our past Karma's. I gave my 100% to involve them into the Art of Living, to make them do the Part 1 Course, but somehow they had their own excuse of not doing it. I 'announced' at home that on 10th October 2012, which was also my mom's birthday, that they would all (sister, aunt and mom) be doing the Part 1 Course. Of course, my mother and aunt were hesitant but then I was adamant too. On 10th October 2012, the course was supposed to start at 6:30 am, and just 2 hours before My aunt suffered a life threatening fall, and broke her ribs. The course got cancelled (none of them could do the course because of this incident). I started wondering, why this happened on the very day of the course. While Guruji himself says 'Bring everyone to knowledge' then why is He not letting them do the course. We hospitalized my aunt. Slowly and steadily she started recovering. On 16th April 2013, my sister saw a post on Facebook. It said 'Do Part 2 course with Guruji'. Reading that she secretly prayed 'Wow some people are so lucky to do the part 2 course with Guruji, and here even the Part 1 is not happening! That evening....

Everything happens for a good reason
 On 18th June, 2013, Sri Sri was going to visit the BITS (one of India's leading educational universities) campus in Goa (Western state of India), where there would be a satsang (Vedic hymns and chants) and then he would address the students of the college. We boarded a bus, and were on our way to Goa. We reached by 5pm and thought we would easily make it on time since the Satsang was going to start at 6:30pm. We reached just as a bhajan (devotional hymn) got over and Sri Sri took hold of the mic. For the next two hours Sri Sri took over. He amazed me, mesmerized me, made me fall in love with him and everything that he spoke. ‘Today is definitely a special day’, I thought. We lost track of how time flew by, and before we knew it, Guruji had left the auditorium We boarded a local bus, and by 9:45 pm it dropped us at the national bus stop that would take us back to our hometown. We were confident that we would get the bus and we politely rejected an offer to stay back at the home of an acquaintance’s place. To our horror, the bus stand wore a deserted look. There was not a single bus in sight. Suddenly, my friend Deepak asked me if I had collected his bag. I asked him, "Was I supposed to collect it?", and right there we froze. Deepak’s bag went away with the local bus, which we had no idea was going to which location. It contained his ATM card, Driver’s License and some money. I silently prayed to Guruji to get us out of this mess. Once we accepted the situation, and knew that we weren’t in control of it, we actually seemed to have gotten some control of it. That is what happens when you completely surrender. I immediately recalled that the bus had.... click here to read this beautiful Guru Story on Sri Sri Miracles Wish to share YOUR Guru Story with the whole world?

Walking on the Right Path
 I was given accomodation during Pre-TTC (Teachers Training Course) in the home of another participant and I stayed with him the night before the first day of the Pre-TTC. After the first day of the course, we were let to relax by 10:30 pm. My friend and me started walking to the bus stop to reach home soon and relax as the next session was supposed to begin very early the next morning. As we went near the bus stop, my friend noticed that there are other participants who were looking for some help in shopping and returning back to their place. He wanted to help them out so I told him to go ahead. Since I didn't know the city and wanted to retire for the day, I took the house key and got into the bus thinking I can make it to the house. When the bus started to move, I realised that I don't have my phone with me. I went to the bus driver and requested him to help me with the address since I remembered the street name vaguely and he complied. I traveled for a few minutes and I noticed a stop name on display that was partially to what I remembered. I went to the driver to confirm for which he replied in broken English that I'm right. I was very happy that finally I made it and got down. I started walking and realized it was very dark and there were very few street lights. Though I could feel that I haven't seen that bus stop in the morning, I started moving thinking since it is dark, I could be bit confused. Relying on the confirmation of the driver, I kept walking confidently but realized that I was lost. Then a thought came to me that it’s not me who decided and made it to Pre-TTC, its HIS plan. If coming to the course is HIS plan, taking me further also should be HIS only. With this thought, I continued to walk little further.
