A small incident from people around Gurudev and his conflict resolution
"I am Satyaki of Vrishni clan.
As I sit next to him in the luxurious sedan to attend the final signing in, the air conditioner cooling us from the humid, cloudy 32 degrees, i can see the same calmness, determination, serenity, love and concern.
The car moves on the cobbled stoned road, surrounded by the colonial buildings, little bumpy but comfortable with his presence next to me.
My memory goes back so so many years back.
The chariot moves on the muddy strip of soil, dented by the constant movement of wooden wheels of the chariots. The trained horses know the path very well as they have travelled on these strips so many times now.
This is the final visit to break the deadlock that is resulting in a war which will see so much of blood shed, suffering, children becoming orphans, women becoming widows, I can see the tinge of sadness and concern on his face.
He knows the end very well, but he being divine, will do everything at his disposal to avert this war. After all, he has convinced the five brothers to agree for just five villages, which should not be a big deal considering the empire is so vast.
As we enter the town of Hastinapur, we see the guards put down their arms and bowing down on the knees to the Guru that he is, embodiment of love, knowledge and peace. Every house hold already knows his arrival and they are there on the main street, on their balconies, terraces waiting for that one glimpse of him, which he is obliging by his smile and blessing from his right hand.
People are showering flowers, some offering fruits, some freshly cooked food which he is blessing and returning and slowly we move to the entrance of the palace.
I look at him and he smiles and I know the outcome of the meeting. The war is imminent, blood shed is imminent but the divine will still work to bring peace and love.
Present day and as we reach the historic place in Cartagena, on the western coast of the Caribbean sea, the car comes to a halt on the cobbled road, grains of sand screeching gently against the tyres, due to the brake and we both alight.
He is beaming now, after trips from Bogota to Havana, Cuba and now to Cartagena through 2016 and now September, the mission accomplished and the historic signing will happen.
Finally peace is there after 50 years of violence, mistrust and hatred.
I see the same calmness, love and smile on him then and now and as we enter with me behind him, his white attire takes center stage and rest is history, once again.
The message of love and peace is heard loud and clear.
How many times has he done this, without expecting anything in return, just to see the happiness and peace in the last person standing.
As I sit behind him, the phone rings and the caller says " the chief judge of Indian supreme court wants to speak". I ask for what and he says "it is about Ayodhya and we seek his (@Gurudev Sri Sri's) intervention to resolve the conflict" and I inform him and he takes the call, smilingly."
It’s very disappointing that #HondaCars has only a single service workshop catering to such a large customer base in Jaipur resulting in long waiting periods, inconvenience, and a poor ownership experience. Improve service network. #CustomerService#HondaCarsIndia#landmarkHonda
“Sudarshan Kriya had a profound impact on me,” shares Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan, speaking about his experience with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Vijayawada.
In times of conflict, true leadership chooses dialogue over discord. I welcome the United States and Iran coming together in dialogue, and appreciate Pakistan’s role in hosting this effort.
Lasting peace arises from courage, clarity, and a collective will grounded in humanity.
May this step bring stability and healing to the Middle East.

Found an old photo from the Nokia days—such a nostalgic moment with Pujya @Gurudev ji! I had the honor of escorting him to a very prestigious university, but as he arrived, the roads were blocked and we needed a shortcut. I was momentarily blank, unsure what to do.
With his usual calm, Gurudev said, “Don’t worry, I know the shortest way.”
I was stunned—“But Gurudev this is your first time here!”
He smiled and replied, “I came here back in the 80s. I still remember.”
And just like that, he guided us through a hidden route. We reached the university swiftly, leaving even the official escort behind. I was amazed—I didn’t even know that path existed!
Q- Gurudev, Why didn’t I find you earlier in life? So much has changed since I came to you. I also feel sad for my friends who want this but still don’t come. What can I do for them?
Beautiful ❤️ Answer by @Gurudev Sri Sri as always
Are you going through challenging times? Here is precious wisdom
@Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji says, Tonight, when u go to sleep, feel deeply that u have dropped everything. Offer ur body, mind, breath, thoughts, feelings, emotions, and environment completely to the Divine.
Feel that u have nothing and you are nothing.
That is BLISS 🌸
If you take even one small step with this realization “I have nothing, I am nothing”, u will become the happiest person on this planet. Because when the sense of ownership and ego dissolve, everything naturally comes to u.
Now, this doesn’t mean you sit idle and daydream saying, “I’ll do nothing because I am nothing.”
No, Gurudev says, “Be nothing, but do everything.”
The mind is clever; it can twist even the highest knowledge for its own convenience.
But when you truly let go and rest in I am nothing, you operate from the deepest freedom, doing everything with joy, yet untouched by anything. 🌺
Proud Moment for Indian Spirituality 🇮🇳
The Governor of the State of Oregon has officially declared October 20th as @Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Day across the entire state.
This marks a remarkable recognition of the @ArtofLiving Foundation's contributions to the people of Oregon and the United States.
It also stands as a significant shift from how the state once viewed Indian spiritual movements-especially in contrast to the era of Osho. Many see this as a powerful step forward, acknowledging Gurudev's message of peace, service, and human values that have touched millions worldwide.

#गुरुदेव को सब कुछ करना चाहिए, यह बात सत्य है, और वे करते भी हैं, यह भी उतना ही सत्य है। लेकिन हमें यह देखना चाहिए कि हम वास्तव में सच्चे शिष्य हैं या नहीं।
देहातीत होने के लिए, गुरुदेव की आज्ञा का पालन करने के अलावा और ���्या है?
‘मैं देह नहीं हूँ’ ऐसा बार-बार कहते रहने से कभी न कभी देहातीत हो ही जाएँगे।
दूसरा मार्ग है कि ‘भगवान मेरा है’ ऐसा कहें, इससे देह का विस्मरण हो जाता है।
"आत्मा से जुड़ने और विकारों से ऊपर उठने का उत्सव नवरात्र" @Gurudev श्री श्री रवि शंकर
नवरात्रि के दिनों में यदि हम अपनी चेतना को भक्ति और ध्यान में लगाएं, तो भीतर के असुर-राग-द्वेष, जड़ता और नकारात्मक संस्कार-सब मिट जाते हैं। यही नवरात्रि का वास्तविक संदेश है!

Day 3 of #Navratri2025 with @Gurudev at @BangaloreAshram.
Navratri celebrates the spirit within us - the very force that destroys inertia, pride, cravings, and all that holds us back, allowing our true nature to shine.
