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 3rd 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”.
