On my maiden visit to Oman, we had an evening of music, meditation, and wisdom at Madinat Al Irfan Theatre in Muscat. I was welcomed warmly by the people. It is a beautiful country with the right ecosystem for peacebuilding.
@ArtofLiving has been active in Oman for the past 27 years. It recognized important people who have contributed significantly to society.
Marking a historic first, the National School of Drama, in collaboration with @WFACofficial, hosted the Bharat Rang Mahotsav at @ArtofLivingIC—a vibrant celebration of theater and artistes from across India.
Under a shared MoU, @ArtofLiving programs are also being conducted at @nsd_india campuses nationwide.
A historic moment as the 1,000-year-old sacred relics of the Somnath Jyotirlinga were brought to the sanctum sanctorum of the Rameswaram Jyotirlinga.
Priests from all 12 Jyotirlingas performed the Pradosh Puja with holy waters from their respective temples, witnessed by thousands.
Over 20 million people joined virtually and in person to recite the ancient Tamil hymn, Kolaru Pathigam, for the well-being of humanity.
If your heart is clear and your mind is pure; if you have a clear purpose, then though you may be thousands of miles away from me, even then we are close.

Surat’s Dumas Beach witnessed a viral incident when a Mercedes C220 got stuck in the sea, requiring a crane to remove it.
Following the incident, Dumas police registered a case under BNS Section 281 and Motor Vehicle Act Sections 177 and 184 for taking the car into a restricted area.
The car’s owner, 18-year-old Sezan Salim Chamdia, has been arrested. Police are also coordinating with the insurance company, as the car’s insurance claim may not be approved.

A cobra sits on the Shivling in the ashram, enjoying its energy. On Nagpanchami, the nag (cobra) rejoices in its rightful place. The whole Nature celebrates Shiv Bhakti.

Question - Gurudev, what is the difference between moha (attachment) and mamta (a mother’s love)?
@Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji - See, a mother’s love is permanent, it never goes away. What is attachment? When (a mother’s) love makes us blind, then that is attachment. Suppose a mother’s son is not qualified to become the Chief Minister of a state, and the son also does not want to become the Chief Minister, but the mother forces the son to become the Chief Minister because she is unable to recognise that he is not the right person for the job, then this is attachment. What King Dhritarashtra felt towards his son Duryodhana was attachment.
On the other hand, the love of Mother Yashoda towards Lord Krishna was nothing but purely a mother’s love for her child.
Attachment gives you misery because it blinds you. When you get entangled in attachment, you overlook the person’s true capability and what they deserve.
Mamta means having the feeling of 'Mine'. So, your motherly love should expand and it should be for everyone else. Lord Krishna says in the Gita, 'Yes, I do have attachment also, but it is equal towards all beings'.
Samo 'ham sarva-bhuteshu na me dveshyo 'sti na priyah. Ye bhajanti tu mam bhaktya mayi te teshu cha-api aham'. (9.29) This is a very unique quality and only Lord Krishna can speak like this. A normal person can get very attached to one person. But when a person says, 'I have that same strong attachment towards all beings', then that is unique. So Lord Krishna presents attachment also in a positive way.
