Students Sharing their Thoughts and Experience

Jai Gurudev...

We Asked the students of Lokpuram School, Thane to express their thoughts on World Peace and experience of Meditation they have been doing since last 3 days.. And here it is..

Celebration Time...

Jai Gurudev,

16th is a Special day when our Beloved Rocking Teacher Vandana Didi celebrates her B'day. With her everlasting childlike smile, she waits for all of us to call her, message her and pamper her. And we once again decided to surprise her..

Venkie and Ajay fooled her about not getting flight to bombay and she spends her days thinking she will spend her B'day in train. But got the flight tickets. Being a working day, we have to reach before she reaches home and we all pray to Guruji to do something. She got stuck in the traffic and we all made to before her. The Gang ready to celebrate her B'day at the home was something she didn't think of.. especially when didi spent the day thinking, why no one from us called up to wish. We dressed her as a Hawaiian Girl. & She complemented the look with her Spirit...

We laughed, sang, played games and of course, had delicious food :-) It was a real treat for all of us..

But more than a treat, for me it was a home-coming. Being with this family is something I miss at Thane.

Dids, did I ever Tell you? You mean a Lot to Me.. Love you Dids..

Meditation Sessions at Lokpuram School, Thane

Jai Gurudev,

As an Initiative of getting people to meditate for world peace, we, Volunteers of the Art of Living conducted sessions at Lokpuram School, Thane. The management gave us permission to conduct sessions in each class after their morning prayer. Me, Jyoti, Parth, Tatya, Yogesh, Viji, Geetali, Kanchan and Rajita went to take sessions. For us it was like walking through the Memory Lane.. Those smiling faces, chirpy noise, once-so-familiar prayer.. It gave me a refreshing feeling.. Each one of us went to different classes and took the session. The kids were amazing at Bhastrika Pranayam and Ram Meditation. They were doing it as if they practiced it everyday. The teachers shared their feelings of gratefulness and experience they had after the meditation, how the kids behaved. On the 2nd day, one teacher was surprised to see the welcome kids gave us saying they never wished them so cheerfully. These pictures will tell you the rest...

World Peace Meditation @ Thane

Jai Gurudev,

Just beofre visit of our Beloved Guruji, Sri Sri Ravishankarji he asked us to meditate. We did a meditation for Peace at Hiranandani Meadows, Thane as a part Art of Living Trauma Care sessions. It was an amazing experience for Me, Jyoti, Ekta and Ashish having a meditation session like this.. One of its kinds, when we told people that we are meditating for peace and if they wish to join. People from all walks of life joined us and prayed together. A group of young people joined us with a little bit apprehension but from this group a young girl Tulika was the 1st person to come to us after the meditation. She said, it was a bit funny for them to sit like this and meditate. but it was really Healing.. After the sessions on 3rd day, people literally asked us where can they find us if they want to continue their meditations..
