MEGA COURSE GIGA FUN TERA SMILES

Raliegh was honored and privileged to host the LARGEST EVER Art of Living course in North Carolina. The course, cognized and developed by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is designed to energize and revitalize the participants while taking them through a spiritual path to answer questions – What is Happiness? What is peace?

The teacher, Anand Rajendran (We all know him as Anandji, who mesmerizes everyone with his wit, knowledge, and love) led the Art of Living course in a NEVER SEEN BEFORE format!! The deep knowledge points were given to us like a gift that we would treasure and use each and every day of our lives!! When you have a Yes in your mind-Nature organizes itself to meet your needs. We could experience this as Volunteers in organizing the largest Part I Art of Living Course in Raleigh with 150 participants in just three weeks.

Mala Wadhwani, also actually experienced this; she said – “I took the Art of Living Course in Raleigh; towards the end of the course, I found answers to some longstanding questions and realized that I only wished deeply in my heart to come to this course & everything else fell in place. I understood that His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar wanted me to come for the Art of Living – he called me to it and made it possible for me to attend.The Art of living course and the teacher, are all gifts His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar – and for that I am eternally grateful.”

Day one dawned, Anandji – the man of MAGIC walked in and made everyone spellbound with his action, enthusiasm and energy. All through the course, we were in a state of bliss with belongingness, joy and peace.

Marchelle Richardson, participating in the course said “I am very pleased to announce that on the 3^rd day of the course, I was cured of a sinus problem that has plagued me since High School. I was also cured of the chest and upper back pains to the greatest extent. I am also sleeping better, finally learned how to effectively clear my ever busy mind. Thanks to His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar for enlightening everyone with this Divine Gift.”

At the end of the course, the experience was “Great Emptiness”, which is full of happiness, consciousness, existence, life and power. Each and every course participant felt the tremendous impact of this course, with energy levels escalating from the first day to the zenith on Day 6. Guru Rajaram, a first-time participant said “Through the Art of Living course, I have found a method for self improvement that I know for sure will work wonders. For me, the train has pulled into the station – I have boarded it. It is my responsibiilty to take this beautiful journey.”

Rajeev Kumar expresses how he would apply the teachings of His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in his life – “My experience during the program has been very enlightening. This course has added to my knowledge and also helped me to confirm that I do not know everything. There is faith to explain the unknown, which needs to be embraced whole-heartedly. This program also acts as a reminder of the rules for better lining of oneself (And in turn for entire circle of influence).”

Pratik Jhanb sums it up by saying “Overall it has been a wonderful experience, I really enjoyed the enthusiastic teacher who made sure everyone was involved. I felt an immediate change after learning and practicing Sudarshan Kriya. This Art of Living course can be described as one of the most wonderful experiences in my life. It is definitely going to change my lifestyle and my behavior with others. The teachings of His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in the form of this course gave me the basic learning for life. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.”

The grace of His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was flowing into us. The rush of thoughts was slowing down and there was inner peace and relaxation and everyone were in an altered state of consciousness.

The experience of reality – as it is – is the “Art of Living”.

A slam-dunk is a slam-dunk. Players from every team in the NBA do it at free will. But the sight of Michael Jordan screaming to the rim with the ball in hand cutting through thin air flying a good 24ft and unleash a slam dunk, leaves your heart racing.It pumps up the adrenaline in every cell of your body. We might not be privy to that experience in this lifetime, but I was part of a similar experience, rather, a more profound one and life changing one.

I had the privilege of taking the Art Of Living Basic course at Raleigh, NC and it was not the first time I was taking it. But the sight of the teacher literally reach out to every participant and infuse dynamism, joy and enthusiasm was just mind blowing – No no, wait it a minute, its called – JHHHAAAKKKAS !!! His name is Anand Rajenderan.He had pumped up the adrenaline of every participant. The teachings of H.H Sri Sri Ravi Shankar were explained in such an action packed manner that it made the course fun filled to the maximum.

The meditation and the Sudarshan Kriya were just out of the world. Anand ji beautifully said,” If you want to appreciate life around you keep your eyes open. If you want to appreciate the life in you the keep your eyes closed” and took some ammaaazzing guided meditation in HMV (His “MASTERS” VOICE), H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. All the 6 days participants flocked to the entrance half an hour before the start. They wanted more and the teacher obliged.

“Thank you to His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and to Anandji – for bestowing this gift on me. I just feel fabulous after this Art of Living Course, and I feel completely in harmony with nature!” ….says Deepa Bharathi, a first-time participant.

“Thank you His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and Anandji – you changed my outlook of life. The Art of Living course is structured to be full of fun and also brings the message of spirituality out to all the people; it brought out the child in me!! I regret not having been associated with the Art of Living earlier.” ….says Mamta Chittur, also a first-timer.

“I had heard about the Art of Living and Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji in Houston, but took time to take the course only now; I am VERY glad that I took the course!! It gave me freedom, and showed me what true happiness is. After the breathing and meditative practices, I felt encompassed in a circle of light, and felt that I was a part of a blissful place” says Padmaja Vulimiri.

Remitha Sateesh says “ The Art of Living Course, in one word is – LIBERATING!” I hope to overcome all my barriers and make a difference in my life after this. Being in the presence of His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has always been a profound experience, but after this course, I think it will be even more mind-blowing!!”

“This has been a mind-blowing and spiritually uplifting experience. I feel sad that this will be my last day in the presence of Anandji”. I feel privileged and blessed to be a part of his course as he is a highly talented and gifted Art of Living Teacher.” – Zohra Osman

So, ladies and gentlemen – if there is an Art of living course with Anandji nearby you, it is a must attend course. Do it to make a difference in your lives, in your families’ lives and for making the world a more positive and spiritual place!!
