Being with @Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar for almost 15 years now, I can only say, that day in day out I have found Him to be a defender of righteousness and an embodiment of peace, harmony love and service. This is the very reason why people of every religion, nationality, language and age group look up to Him and get inspired by Him so they can exemplify the same values in their own lives.

@sadhguru Jaggi’s followers (like the recent video posted by @stringreveals) are trying to peg him along with Gurudev for some added traction over and above their huge paid promotions! But a heavy tantric tamasic energy is vastly different from a light sattvic joyful one and a comparison can only evoke compassion and amusement. Satyameva Jayate!

On #MahalayaAmavasya you recognize the contribution of your ancestors & feel grateful. Gratefulness is always liberating! While your soul is always free, your body is the continuum of life from your ancestors. However their life was, you are here because of them. So be grateful!

On the 18th of this month, solar lamps worth 1 Crore have been donated by the @ArtofLiving to light homes in remote areas of Assam. The Hon. CM @himantabiswa has most graciously accepted to have them distributed.

Your Higher Self, which is the abode of all gods and goddesses, is wrapped in silence. When you feel deep love and gratitude, words fail and that’s when you experience it.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

For many, faith & devotion is a means to mental relief & emotional comfort. For others, it is a way to hang on to their wishes and dreams. Only for a few is it their life, for they hold on to it even through tough times and they are the ones who succeed. #WisdomWednesday

A good musician doesn’t get upset when the instrument goes out of tune, he just tunes it back. Navratri is the time to retune your body, mind, and spirit. Take it from me you are a good musician!

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

All your ambitions and achievements are connected with others. Either to show off, prove yourself, or provide. Just for a moment imagine there is no one to appreciate your achievements nor to support your ambition. You will find yourself to be calm and free.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

You trying to change yourself, your situation, or the world is like a mosquito biting an iron rod! Relax and drop all hopes. Happiness will refuse to leave you! The Guru establishes you in dispassion to make your cup bigger, and then he fills it with bliss.

[Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar @Gurudev]

Frustration begins within and simmers in any activity. You have to recognize this and nip it in the bud otherwise it will latch on to some reason outside and engulf you totally. Stillness alone is the way to be free from it.
