WHAT IS MEDITATION ? Meditation is a simple process,Of watching your own mind. Not fighting with the mind,Not trying to control it either Just remaining there, a choiceless witness. Whatsoever passes you simply take note of it With no prejudice for or against. You don't call it names That this should not come to my mind That this is an ugly thought and This is a very beautiful and virtuous thought. You should not judge You should remain non-judgmental Because the moment you judge, you lose meditation. You become identified. Either you become a friend or you become a foe. You create relationships. Meditation means Remaining unrelated with your thought process Utterly unrelated, cool, calm Watching whatsoever is passing. And then a miracle happens: Slowly slowly one becomes aware That less and less thoughts are passing. The more alert you are, the less thoughts pass The less alert you are, the more thoughts pass. It is as if traffic depends on your awareness. ...

"Independence always goes with Discipline. Independence is also when you recognise the Inter-Dependence of our existence." - Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Must Read it👇🏻 *Worth Sharing by GURUDEV* Wake up and see whole past is like a dream. Jaago abhi-abhi (Guruji snapping). Isiko "sankhya" bolte hai. Abhi jaago, jo aaj subje hua, abhi hai kya? Subhe uthe, Dantmanjan kiya, Sudanta se kiya? (laugh). breakfast kiya, yoga kiya, ab yeh sapna jaise nahi lag raha hai?? Aap ghar chale jaoge, 10-20 saal aise beet jayega, fir raam naam satya hai (laugh). Abhi jo hua hai woh sapna hai, aage jo ho raha hai woh bhi sapna hai. Itna jagriti aajaye ki main sapna nahi hun, main sapna dekhne wala hun. Bas jaag gaye. Main buddhimaan hun, murkh hun sab bhuljao. Bas main hun. Jaagna aur Vishram karna yehi gyan hai. Kab jaago ge? 10 saal ke baad. Abhi jaago toh jaag gaye. Jaag gaye!!!??? (people saying - "yes"). Yeh sab sapna hai, tab maan ki pakad dheeli hojati hai. Yeh chahiye woh chahiye, kya mila? cha-cha ke haath jal gaya, raat raat bhar jaage, duniya bhar ki baat ki, fir bhi kaam hua kuch nahi, waisi baat ...

Dear Gurudev, my question is about idol worship in the Hindu religion. Christians don’t have churches everywhere. Mosques and Gurudwaras are also not everywhere. Then why do Hindus have temples everywhere? Under every tree and in every corner you see a temple. To what extent is idol worship acceptable? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Who says that idol worship is not practiced in Christianity? Even Christianity gives importance to idol worship. They put the symbol of Cross anywhere, even on the road, or on top of the hills, isn’t it? Many mosques are also being built at many places. Now to what extent is idol worship acceptable in Hinduism? This is a question worth pondering upon. Wherever people have opposed idol worship, some other form of symbolism has come up. What is an idol? It is a symbol. The Divinity which is formless, which cannot be described, which cannot be seen or touched, to see and understand that Divinity you need a medium. And that medium is what you call an ...

Q: Guruji, why is it important to repeat the Happiness Program time and again? SRI SRI : During any of our courses, what is visible is not the motive. On a subtle level, within your consciousness, there is a change related to those processes, those stories, those Knowledge Points and that is the reason you feel a change within your 'Self' after the course. Just like in one of the process, sharing your Life Story is not the objective but what is happening actually is that you feel some lightness within. You get rid of deep life impressions that bother you. Similarly, there is something important related to each and every process, story and even your homework. The more you give into each, the more you get out of it. Now what many of you think is - "Why go again and repeat all that we have gone through?", "We know what is being taught during the course", "We've already learnt Sudarshan Kriya and continue with our daily practice, then what's the ...

I tell you, life is so precious, do not lose it. Just because you got less marks, or your debts went high, or some girl or boy rejected you and your love failed? Leave all these! Come to me and give me all your pain. All your troubles, all your botherations, give them all to me. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

प्रश्न : जीवन में बहुत कुछ मिलता है पर अधूरी इच्छाओं के रहते एक असंतुष्टता की भावना रह जाती है मन में। इससे दुख पहुँचता है, क्या करें, इनसे कैसे निपटें? श्री श्री रविशंकर : आपने ...

The fight is always between the small little mind and the big universal mind. That’s why we say,  *‘Jai Gurū Dev’ ie., victory to the big mind.* It happens so many times that the small mind wins. Whenever the small mind wins, the result is misery. Inside you have both the big and small mind. It is like a mother going with a child to a store. The child goes on wanting this and that. Sometimes the mother agrees and allows the child to have one or two more chocolates. After eating more chocolates, the child gets toothache, a cough or a cold. Why did the mother allow the child to eat more in the first place and get sick? But a child was so adamant sometimes that the mother had to agree. And when the child is sick the mother also cares for it. It is part of the game. In the same way, the big mind allows the small mind to play for a little while, and win for a change. But when it wins, it is miserable and comes back to the big mind. That is why we say, *...

WISDOM BY GURUDEV FROM GERMANY You are worried about events not about yourself. A river does not distinguish between good and bad it carries everything with it and that is time. When you do good you feel good forget about others so much unpleasantness is caused in the garb of righteousness. When you do good you get clarity and feel purity that's your strength. It is seeing the whole past and future as a dream. Today somebody sent me a clip with a mouse chasing a cat and biting it. There are two lessons here. One is you can do anything if you drop your identity and on the other side you are a cat and you don't realize you are a cat and you have forgotten running away from a rat ,how you run away from situations. You learn either ways as a mouse or cat. Use your hands and do some work then serenity dawns , else the head over works. If you don't have work come to me I will give you some. #SriSriInGermany

Gurudev, how can I free myself from thoughts, emotions and feelings and how can I get detached from all relationships? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Why do you want to detach yourself from relationship? Because it gives you pain, isn’t it. Why does it give pain? Because you do not have a broad vision of life. All relationships are for a few days, few months, few years, but life is much bigger, so instead of trying to detach yourself from relationships, what is best for you to do is expand your awareness. Listen to more of Ashtavakra Gita knowledge, not just once, again and again, and keep your thoughts on the Brahman, on the infinity, on the great energy; everything is part of it, everybody is a manifestation of it. That is why that is called Brahmacharya. ‘Brahma’ means the infinity, ’Charya’ means moving into it – having your mind moving into the Divinity. Not focused on limited – that man said this, this lady said this, this is that, and all tha...
