We went like this in the metro from Keshav Puram to Kashmere Gate to Rajiv Chowk and back. The response was very strong. People were eyeing us as though we were celebrities (of corse we are), some looked with suspicion, some even with some fear and insecurity....may be they though we are the goons of the politicians or politicians of the goons ;-) Some people even asked us who should we vote, we just said, we need a change! Some asked us, who are you supporting? We said doesn't matter. You make your choice. Some were cribbing, its not going to make any difference. Some were appreciating our efforts, some started arguing with us. It was fun. I realized even more strongly the extent and intensity of the apathy in the Indian educated masses about the Indian political scenario. Most people have given up hope. People have lost trust in governance, they are disgusted. But I am determined to make a difference, and so can you. VOTE and tell 10 others to VOTE, for a change. All the best

See the video below. I don't know why IBNLive has used the word FATWA, but its quite evident from the video that the Muslims and Christians in Karnataka are mixing religion with politics and being NON-SECULAR.  Muslims and Christians are so loud and take pride in voicing their narrow-minded, religious, non-secular Muslim/Christian agendas. When they do this they are justified as being protective about their minority community, and if Hindus do it they are termed religious and communal and non-secular.

This is how we are chanting it. You will love it. Its very soothing and meditative and I must say we feel Gurujis presence so strong when we chant it. Hope all of you are chanting Guru Om in some or the other tune. Here is the soundtrack. Have a blissful chanting experience! Love & Jai Gurudev

Friends, This is an awesome blog. The latest wisdom from Guruji is posted on this. http://wisdomfromsrisri.blogspot.com/ The latest post talks about: "You be a role model. It is only spirituality t hat can bring transformation in the nation. Devoid of spirituality, politics becomes so corrupt." “Save your mind at all costs. We talk about saving the environment, saving the world but not the mind. Tell yourself: I am in charge of my life, my mind. Nobody can make me unhappy.” "When you feel that you have everything now, you will have more. Do you know who gets invited to dinners? The one who has plenty to eat. Feel the plentitu de." Q. What is the secret behind the ever-green smile? A.: I have no idea. Perhaps it’s because I always walk my talk and talk my walk.) Q. How to become an angel? A.: There is no way. You already are one! Q. Do you ever get hurt in love? Q. Can students be equal to their Guru? If yes, then how? Q. Are the Mahabharata an...

By Subramanian Swamy, former Union Law Minister Excerpts from an article written on 03 Dec, 2006 on www.organiser.org Full article here In India, Dhimmi status for Hindus during Islamic imperialist rule has had other social implications. Defiant Brahmins and Kshatriyas, who had refused to convert and chose to remain Hindus, were forced to carry night-soil and suffer great indignities for their women folk. Or it meant gross mental torture. Guru Tegh Bahadur, for example, had to see his sons sawed in half, before the pious Guru’s own head was severed and displayed in public. The debasement of Hindu society then was such that those targeted valiant Brahmins and Kshatriyas, who had refused to convert and thus made to carry night-soil, were disowned by other Hindus and declared to be asprashya or “untouchable”. The ranks of the Scheduled Caste community, which was not more than 1 per cent of the population before the advent of Islam in India, swelled to 14 per cent by the time Mughal r...

Just couldnt resist writing about what I experienced a couple of hours back. We heard Gurujis talk 'Your Nature is Gratefulness' of the Ashtavakra Gita series. It was awesome. Very subtle and profound and towards the end Guruji made us laugh so much I tell you. And in the end he told us to find reasons to be grateful. The moment the talk got over Nitin (Nikhil Kathurias brother) played the slow Narayan....Narayan....Jai Govind Hare....., Narayan....Narayan....Jai Gopal Hare.....sung by Vikram. It was the recording of a satsang. I have no words to express what that bhajan did to all of us. I was completely transported to the ashram. Feeling so grateful for Guruji, the way he has handled my life and given so much, for having filled my life with divinity, grace, faith and paramanand. As the song was ending Vikram started Your Home is in my heart...! Need I write any further? Oh Guruji! Zarurat se jyada, aur samay se pehle, you give so much, I am not big enough to take! Love you Gu...

Words of wisdom from Guruji on the following topics Who seeks love? - find out which type you belong to Three types of love - Maybe your love is Tamasik or Rajasik? hee hee ha ha Is your love perfect? - I can bet you are far from perfect! Dealing with loss / unplesant experiences - Tera kya tha jo tune khoya? Dealing with Anxiety - Relax buddy :-) B +ve - I am not looking for blood By now your fundas should be clear ;-) Love Moves the World Jai Gurudev

Yesterday we did Guru puja and then meditated on the Rudra Puja chants...a short satsang with Shiva bhajans followed after that. It felt so much like being in the ashram. A few YES!+ volunteers were amongst the 325 who became Blessers and/or Healers on Sunday 12th Apr. So there was celebration in the air in the YES!+ adda since last evening. No no...now the adda has been shifted. B-24 Lajpat Nagar was the UTSAV adda. No yaar, A1-266, Safdarjung Enclave was the MARCH-in-MARCH adda. Now its C-119, Ashok Vihar. The first sms I saw after the puja read... '..I am in the Bangalore ashram,...we just finished rudra puja with Guruji...' :-) We caught your presence in India Guruji! We are your good devotees no? ;-) Today Vishal did the Guru puja...after which we chanted Guru Om for 3 to 5 min. The meditation that followed was so deep and with such strong Guru presence. Vishal has been doing the Guru puja with the vidhi (ritual) now for the last 26 consecutive days without break! I guess...

Question: Why is a man allowed to have more than one wife in Islam? i.e. Why is polygamy allowed in Islam? (2/2)Misconceptions About Islam - By Dr. Zakir Naik.This is a lecture by Dr. Zakir Naik held in P.U.B. Auditorium, Singapore, 17 October, 1998. In this video he answers some of the most common misconceptions non-Muslims have about Islam. Could not decide if the above video is a Commedy:-) ! or Tragedy:-( ? What do you say??

TOP 10 MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT ISLAM by Huma Ahmad on www.jannah.org Full article here EXCERPTS... MISCONCEPTION #1: Muslims are violent, terrorists and/or extremists. NOWHERE DOES ISLAM ENJOIN THE KILLING OF INNOCENTS.. The Quran says: "Fight in the cause of God against those who fight you, but do not transgress limits. God does not love transgressors." (Quran 2:190) "If they seek peace, then seek you peace. And trust in God for He is the One that heareth and knoweth all things." (Quran 8:61) ...The term 'jihad' literally means 'struggle'. Muslims believe that there are two kinds of jihad. The other 'jihad' is the inner struggle of the soul which everyone wages against egotistic desires for the sake of attaining inner peace. MISCONCEPTION #2: Islam oppresses women. ... The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: "The most perfect in faith amongst believers is he who is best in manner and kindest to his wife." Violence of any kind ...

By Subramanian Swamy, former Union Law Minister Excerpts from an article written on 03 Dec, 2006 on http://www.organiser.org/ Full article here In a Hindu country why should there be a separate Law for non-Hindus? Hindus had been dhimmis for six hundred years in those parts of India despite being a bigger majority in the country than even today. Hence, a majority is not enough. Hindus need also a Hindu mindset to be free. Thousands of Muslims had demonstrated on the streets demanding that the government not bring legislation that would nullify the Supreme Court’s judgment in the Shah Bano case but in vain. Supreme Court v/s Shariat. Who is greater? Rajiv Gandhi, I learnt later, on counsel from his Italian Catholic family, had surrendered to the hard line clerics who protested that the Supreme Court had no right to interfere and to de facto amend the Shariat, the Islamic law code. These relatives on a directive from the Vatican thought that if secular law would be applied to Muslims, it...

The Beheading of Guru Tegh Bahadur From SikhiWiki Jump to: navigation , search The Emperor Aurangzeb who had seen to the death of his brother and arrest of his father had been raised and educated by the fundamentalist ulema who had long been ignored by his more liberal predecessors. His brother Dara Shikoh had been raised by the Sufis and exposed to the more the more universal side of Islam which, though its aim was still to see everyone in the world submit to Islam , they sought to accomplish their goal by peaceful means. The Sikhs and Hindus were on good terms with the Sufis, but Aurangzeb returned the hated Jizia-a tax which took 60% of everything from the Sikh and Hindu farmers. Aurangzeb had decided that he would change India into a land where sharia would rule. He had decided that Islam would be the only religion of India. He would allow no new Hindu temples to be built and he gave orders that many be torn down and replaced by Mosques. A plan was h...

Basic Islam for Hindu Dhimmis By Subramanian Swamy, former Union Law Minister Excerpts from an article written on 03 Dec, 2006 on www.organiser.org Full article here Temples have been demolished in the Valley on a daily basis. The world could not care less. An American had once told me: “Why should we care? Indian democracy is led by the majority who are Hindus and you want us to talk about the human rights of the community of rulers?” Are Hindus in majority in India? We do not have much time, in fact in about 45 years, as the X-graph of statistical regressions estimated by J.S. Bajaj and colleagues shows. ‘X’ represents the two trends—Hindu percentage declining and Muslim percentage rising, and intersecting in the year 2061. We Hindus must understand the true nature of Islam before we can formulate a strategy to defeat those who threaten us. What happens in Muslim majority areas? The municipalities of Thondi and Rasathipuram Municipalities of Ramanathapuram and Vellore districts respe...

No, I am not referring to His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, definitely not Mr. Manmohan Singh;-) Embodiment of Excellence Mr. Vinod Menon, my TTC (Art of Living Teachers Training Course - Phase 1) teacher; and I take great pride for having done TTC with Vinod bhaiya. I was lucky enough to meet him on Thu evening. Some snippets: ....Apply the spirit. Many times the mind, intellect, memory or ego come in the way of the objective of the spirit. For eg. If you want to meet another volunteer to discuss some seva project, the ego may say, he should come to me, why should I go to him? Excercise your awareness and make the intelligent choice of honouring the spiritual objective by overriding the objective of the ego. Fri, 10 Apr, 12 noon...Vinodji was scheduled to conduct a session for YES!+. We were to finish showing a 20 min video ' Shashi Tharoor interviews Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on CNBC '. At 1150 am we were still struggling with the projector cable and laptop...when he arrived ..10...

We started a YES!+ course in IIT Delhi on Thu 02 Apr. I learnt that when I give my 100%, when I put my heart, mind, body and soul, to the fullest of my energies and enthusiasm in an action, then I am able to EXCEL; actually I EXCEED my EXPECTATIONS. I experienced this in the way I conducted the first session of the course. Jai Gurudev PS: The 3rd day got over today...50 smiling happy participants are brimming with LIFE
