An exceptionally beautiful theatrical dance drama on the life of Saint Meera Bai was put together in @BangaloreAshram by @srivinow & her team. It was a perfect combination of different dance forms coupled with knowledge & devotion.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

The Supreme Purusha permeating the microcosm & the macrocosm is so well described in Chapter 15 of Bhagavad Gita, which we discussed over the last two days. It is ancient & new, scientific yet mystical.

Glimpses from Meera, the musical, performed a few days ago by ashramites in @BangaloreAshram.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

If you hold on to comfort, you can never grow. The more you let go of comfort, the more it comes along; in fact, it chases you. Holding on to commitment gives a direction to life. If you let go of your commitment, you cannot be successful.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

Don't give up commitment for the sake of comfort. If you commit to something wrong, it is alright to let go. When you let go of some commitment, take up a bigger commitment.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

.@ArtofLiving conducted a Drug Awareness Program at Central Jail Jammu Kotbhalwal. Inmates shared their experiences with drugs & took a pledge to say no to drugs as well as to keep the jails drug free. This is the 4th jail in the region to inaugurate a yoga & meditation room.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

We need to use our skills, exercise our rights & inspire others to do so. During elections, everyone should go out to vote & have your family & friends do the same. When you don't use your skills, it's a loss to you. If you don't vote, it's a loss to the country.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

An Asian Paradise Flycatcher takes a break at @BangaloreAshram from its heavy workload. When you develop the habit of spending some time with yourself, you find that you are already in paradise.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

The entire village of Anandawadi in District Beed, Maharashtra burned tobacco & gutkha for Holi & took a pledge to keep the village free from addictions. Padmakar Kulkarni & Ghanashyam Dalawi have been teaching @ArtofLiving programs for the last one year there. #DrugFreeIndia

.@ArtofLiving volunteers distributed solar lights to the tribals of Umlapher, West Karbi Anglong, Assam, an extremely remote hilly area with broken roads & no electricity.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

Often people complain that they want to do good work but have no authority. Taking up responsibility without being given authority is a sign of intelligence. To do something good for society, you don't need authority.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

Beej Mahotsav @BangaloreAshram brings the finest native (desi) seed keepers from all over India with 2000+ farmers practising chemical free farming. @ArtofLiving will now house a desi beej kosh at its campus with seeds threatened to extinction by the hybrid & GMO varieties. 1/2

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

Remarkable knowledge exchange - a method to use only 250g seeds for an acre, an innovative way to sprout from rice instead of paddy & seed preservation techniques. Eminent seed keepers, including Rahibai Soma Popere - the seed mother & Dr. Uday Bhan honored at the event. 2/2

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

A hard membrane protects the seed but for it to sprout, the membrane has to soften & fall off. In the same way, ego has its place, but life truly blooms when the limited ego expands to include everybody around, when you have a sense of belongingness with all of this Creation.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

True education is developing a personality & kindling intelligence & intuition, not just gathering information.

Had an interaction with students at IIT-BHU yesterday. So far, 70 graduates from IIT-BHU alone are @ArtofLiving teachers, engaged in spreading wisdom around the world.
