My blog about my visit to Colombia. Had met some wonderful people and enjoyed the sights. Highly recommended to visit. Also includes an account of the civil war with FARC and the role of Gurudev @SriSri and @ArtofLiving in mediating the peace. Enjoy! sincereseekersite.wordpress.com/2021/12/03/the…

Happy to be part of the launch of Sri Sri Ayurveda Arogya Mitra Abhiyaan- Students of the Sri Sri #Ayurveda college will now adopt one rural family and support their wellbeing through guidance, awareness & Ayurveda-based care. A small step… with a big impact. 💚 #Seva @ssrvm

The people of Medellín, Colombia came together to experience ‘The Power of Meditation’.

“The methods are modern but the message is ancient! It is the message of Humanity - Vasudaiva Kutumbakam - One World Family, that Gurudev Sri Sri has been promoting tirelessly.” Sri Sankara Vijayendra Saraswathi Swami ji, the 71st Shankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam today…

Many spiritual seekers feel conflicted about anger and negative emotions. Anger itself is not wrong. But watch whether you are getting angry or anger is getting you!! If it stays for only a short time it is ok. If it consumes you totally that is a problem. @Gurudev

It cannot be explained. Love is not something that can be explained or understood. Evennall negative things are due to love only - love for material things is greed! Love with ignorance gives rise to misery and all negative emotions. Love with wisdom is bliss. @Gurudev

How to overcome past trauma? Sudarshan Kriya! It helps you to erase past impressions. Also know that the past doesn't exist at this moment. The person who went through the experience does not exist either. You are a new person now. @Gurudev

When you get totally confused that is when you get out of the Mind and get into the Truth. Hence you cannot get this from reading scriptures, you need a Guru who can guide you. A Guru will give you different instructions at different times depending on where you are. @Gurudev

Dissolve. Losing yourself is devotion. Wanting nothing is devotion. Living as if I am noone is devotion. Feeling that the Divine is mine is devotion. Keeping the Mind empty is devotion. Living for the Divine, feeling that everything is a part of the Divine is devotion. @Gurudev

Nature has given us everything that we need. With this firm faith move forward. If you feel there is something missing then that will also come in due course. When you have this firm faith then only you can make life a celebration which is what @ArtofLiving is about!! @Gurudev…

How to have faith? Don't try to get rid of doubt. Doubt 100%. Don't be half hearted in your doubts. Doubt everything. You will see that when you doubt everything, whatever remains at the end that it Faith. @Gurudev

Spirituality is stopping the car to refuel. Worldly life is driving the car. Eating food for the body is part of worldly life. Listening to music that relaxes is part of spirituality. Spirituality is a part of everyone's life, some may accept it, others deny it!! @Gurudev

Awareness of the Dream Nature of events and the world around you will give you the strength to be equanimous throughout. But it is not easy! This is why Sadhana, meditation is so essential. When you are in that space, you create your own energy wherever you are. @Gurudev

We become unhappy only when we forget how lucky we are! @Gurudev

Hindus are being hunted in Kashmir—shot dead because they’re Hindus. This is not “insurgency,” this is jihadist terror. Enough of the political correctness. Stop calling it anything else. The world won’t care unless we make them. Speak. Shout. Demand action. No more Hindu lives…

When we are playing a role in a drama, we have to be fully in that role. Then only we can do justice to our role. This world and our life is a play only, but we should be fully immersed in whatever we are doing. Only then we can be a witness to the play! @Gurudev

Both pleasant and unpleasant experiences help us grow. Be grateful, drop the past and celebrate life. This new year, resolve to be useful to others, and spread happiness wherever you go. #Ugadi2025 #GudiPadwa2025 #NavrehPoshte #chetichand2025 #SajibuCheiraoba

Willfully hurting others is Sin (Paap). Doing something to bring solace to others is Virtue (Punya). Doing to others, what you want others to do towards you is Virtue. Doing to others, what you wouldn't want others to do towards you is Sin. @Gurudev

Radha is the Shakti of Krishna. Radha is not different from Krishna. "Dhara" the opposite of "Radha". Dhara flows outwards. Radha means going inwards. The way to reach Lord Krishna is to go inwards - sit and meditate! @Gurudev

That what IS, what exists is "vishwa". Vishwa exists in the present only. Everything other than the human mind is in the present only! The present is deep - with innumerable past happenings & infinite future possibilities in it. "Vishwanath" is the lord of the present. @Gurudev

Go inwards, in your lotus like heart, Shiva is there. Keep aside your cravings/aversions amd go into meditation. That makes you strong and at the same time gentle, soft & sweet. That entitity which is beyond the three qualities - Sattva, Rajas, Tamas, that is Shiva. @Gurudev
