43 Glorious years of AOL

Today... 13th November... is the Founding Day of...
The Art of Living (VVMVP)...Celebrating 43 Glorious Years!! 

On this Day... Remembering... Param Pujya Gurudev’s Poem.

*I Promise*

• If I had to promise you something, what would it be ?

• I can’t promise that you would always be comfortable
Because comfort brings boredom and discomfort.

• I can’t promise that all your desires will be fulfilled
Because desires whether fulfilled or unfulfilled bring frustration.

• I can’t promise that there will always be good times
Because it is the tough times that make us appreciate joy.

• I can’t promise that we will be rich or famous or powerful
Because they can all be pathways to misery.

• I can’t promise that we will always be together
Because it is separation that makes togetherness so wonderful.

• Yet if you are willing to walk with me,
If you are willing to value Love ♥️ over everything else

• I promise that this will be the most rich and fulfilling life possible.
• I promise your life will be an eternal celebration,
• I promise you I will cherish you more than a king cherishes his crown,
• And I shall love you more than a mother loves her newborn.

If you are willing to walk into my arms,
If you are willing to live in my heart,
You will find the one you have waited forever.
You will meet yourself in my arms

I promise.

- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji...

HE has kept HIS Promise Well..!
Since 13th November 1981...
&... even much more... before..!!

Feel abundant

Poverty is only in the mind. In North India, one day before Diwali they celebrate Dhanteras. On Dhanteras they bring out all their wealth, place it in front of God and feel the abundance. Why do they do this? It is because when we feel abundant within, it brings out a positive attitude, energy and enthusiasm, and you are able to get more. But when you are in a 'lack' consciousness, I tell you, that seed that you have sown will increase the lack and reduce abundance. Abundance first starts as a seed within you, so feel abundant. When the seed of abundance is within you, magic happens!

Hindu Terrorism!! A perspective from a westerner's eye....

Hindu Terrorism!! A perspective from a westerner's eye.... Hindu Terrorism? A perspective from a westerner's eye.... By Francois Gautier Is there such a thing as 'Hindu terrorism', as the arrest of Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur for the Malegaon blasts may tend to prove? Well, I guess I was asked to write this column because I am one of that rare breed of foreign correspondents — a lover of Hindus! A born Frenchman, Catholic-educated and non-Hindu, I do hope I'll be given some credit for my opinions, which are not the product of my parents' ideas, my education or my atavism, but garnered from 25 years of reporting in South Asia (for Le Journal de Geneve and Le Figaro). In the early 1980s, when I started freelancing in south India, doing photo features on Kalaripayattu, the Ayyappa festival, or the Ayyanars, I slowly realised that the genius of this country lies in its Hindu ethos, in the true spirituality behind Hinduism. The average Hindu you meet in a million...
