अवजानन्ति मां मूढा
मानुषीं तनुमाश्रितम् ।
परं भावमजानन्तो
मम भूतमहेश्वरम् ॥
When Krishna says “Me,” it refers not to the physical form-the charming form adorned with a peacock feather or holding a flute- but to the pure, transcendental Consciousness (Param Bhāva)-the one infinite spirit from which everything arises and in which everything exists. People mistake this for an ordinary human being and fail to recognize the divinity. People think I am a human being; they only see my outer [form], they don’t see the spirit inside of ME that is light. I am the light of which the whole universe is made.
( Above is #WisdomFromGurudev while explaining the Verse from Bhagavad Gita…)
@Gurudev, even as we are blessed with this profound truth, we joyfully wish You a very Happy Birthday!! 💐💐🙂
May Your light continue to guide us 🙏🙏

While at Art of Living, met Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji. We had an excellent discussion on various subjects, notably the work of Art of Living. His passion towards furthering societal good is noteworthy.

Don’t expect life to be all roses. Life is a forest trail, not a paved park. Anything may appear in your path - thorns, weeds, fallen trees. Whatever it may be, just keep moving ahead. A week in colorful Canadian ashram.
Gave the keynote address at the launch of the 1st World Meditation Day at @UN Headquarters, facilitated by Permanent Representative of India @AmbHarishP in the presence of @UN_PGA H.E. Philemon Yang, USG Atul Khare @UN_OpSupport, senior UN officials, PRs, members of the diplomatic corps and other dignitaries.
With the efforts of the Permanent Missions of India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Mexico, Liechtenstein and Andorra, all 193 member states came together to acknowledge the power of meditation in bringing health and harmony to all of humanity. #WorldMeditationDay
The enthusiasm of the large number of diplomats and decision-makers attending on a Friday evening during the holiday season shows the recognition of meditation and its relevance in the modern world.

Let’s spread peace, one breath at a time!
Those who are vandalizing Hindu temples are not only hurting the sentiments of more than 1.2 billion Hindus but also insulting the ten Sikh Gurus and undermining the sacrifices they made to preserve Sanatan Dharma. Everyone should work to unite humanity rather than divide communities.

Feel grateful for all the blessings you have received. Be thankful for all the knowledge and see how it has transformed life. Without knowledge, we would be nowhere. Realizing this, celebrate and appreciate everything that has come your way! #GuruPurnima
The Art of Living Ashram in Canada is one of the most beautiful places for one to experience stillness.
Nature's display of beauty is vivid here in all four seasons, making it a perfect location to go into silence.
Are you truly healthy? Health is determined not just by physical wellness but also by your emotional resilience, mental clarity, fearless spirit, and humble heart, alongside your ability to accept and respect differences. #WorldHealthDay
