At the Art of Living Ashram, Bengaluru took blessings from Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji and interacted with the Art of Living family. Met with Gurudev whose words of wisdom always inspire us towards contributing to society and our country. Also visited the Gurukul and Exhibition Centre where I observed the inspiring work being carried out through value-based education, spiritual awareness, and social transformation rooted in India’s cultural heritage. @Gurudev @ArtofLivingIC Sharing glimpses from the visit:

Hon’ble CM of Goa @DrPramodPSawant joined the satsang at the Bengaluru Ashram. He is a unique statesman with a friendly demeanor, wonderful communication skills, and the ability to resolve conflicts.

Welcomed Hon’ble CM of Andhra Pradesh @ncbn to the Bengaluru Ashram. His vision for the holistic development of his state through technology and spiritual education is highly commendable.

Blessed and honoured to participate in the 70th birthday celebrations of Poojaniya Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji and the 45th anniversary celebrations of the Art of Living in Bengaluru. In today’s rapidly evolving world, spirituality, inner peace and human values are more important than ever. Gurudev continues to inspire millions across the world with his message of compassion, harmony and service. I wish him and the Art of Living continued success in this noble mission of serving humanity. @Gurudev @ArtofLiving

A soulful day at the @ArtofLiving Ashram, Bengaluru. Always grateful to have met @Gurudev ji and to experience an atmosphere filled with peace, wisdom, & positive energy. Some journeys are not about places, but about finding calm within. 🙏🕊️ #ArtOfLiving #SriSriRaviShankar #SpiritualJourney #Gratitude #InnerPeace

Can you help me to get rid of Maya? M: What is Maya? Q: Attachment to the world. M: Was the world present in your sleep? Was there attachment to it? Q: No, there was not. M: Were you there or not? Q: Yes, I was. M: You are therefore the same one who was in sleep. Q: Yes. M: What is it then that now raises the question of Maya? Q: There was no mind in sleep, so the world only exists for the mind. M: Yes. The pure Self is simple being. It does not associate itself with objects and becomes conscious as it does in the waking state. What you now call consciousness in the present state is associated consciousness, depending upon the brain, the mind, and the body etc. But in sleep, that consciousness persisted without these. ~~ Conscious Immortality

Lord Nagaraju ji, Member of the House of Lords of the United Kingdom, visited the Bengaluru Center met @Gurudev, and took His blessings. A meeting centred around human values, spirituality, and global harmony. #Gurudev70 #45YrsofArtofLiving

Heartfelt birthday wishes to renowned spiritual leader and founder of The @ArtofLiving Foundation, Pujya @Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji! May you always be blessed with good health, long life, and continued strength to guide humanity towards peace, happiness, and a more meaningful life. Wishing you endless joy and success in your noble mission.

Actor-politician Devan Shreenivasan and Bishop Dr. Mobin Matthew also spoke, reflecting on the grassroots impact of our social projects.

Superstar Rajinikanth once again reminded everyone why greatness is not just about success, but about humility. Despite achieving unparalleled fame and adoration for decades, his reflections on how spirituality teaches one to rise above ego and remain grounded carry a profound message for today’s world. True greatness lies not merely in success, but in humility, simplicity and self-awareness. That is what makes Rajinikanth not just a Superstar, but a timeless inspiration admired across generations.

When the great Tamil Superstar Rajni Sir Talks about 7 Yogic Chakras with Such Devotion, then who can remove Sanatan Dharma from the Land of Tamil Nadu❗️

When not a single person looked at #Rajinikanth….the #Superstar himself tells how his ego was crushed by the power of spirituality. In conversation with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at the Art of Living in #Bengaluru 👇 @timesofindia

सेवा, साधना और मानवता के माध्यम से करोड़ों लोगों के जीवन को सकारात्मक दिशा देने वाले पूज्य गुरुदेव @SriSri जी को जन्मदिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ। ईश्वर आपको दीर्घायु एवं निरंतर जनकल्याण के कार्यों की शक्ति प्रदान करें।

Warm birthday wishes to Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar Ji. Your compassion and wisdom have inspired millions of devotees around the world. Praying for your good health, long life & continued strength in your service to humanity. @Gurudev @ArtofLiving

"Nobody Even Looked At Me": Rajinikanth Shares Profound Experience At Art Of Living ndtv.com/india-news/nob…

#Rajinikanth recalls a humbling moment at Bengaluru’s Art of Living Ashram where nobody recognised him, an experience he says changed his understanding of fame, ego, and humility #PlainSpeak | @ShivaniGupta_5

Archbishop of Bengaluru Dr. Peter Machado and Auxiliary Bishop of Mumbai Stephen Fernandes visited the Ashram and commended @ArtofLiving’s 45 years of service to humanity. Also received warm wishes from Former President @PresRajapaksa and @RajapaksaNamal of Sri Lanka.

Purification: An uncut gem excavated from a mine will not attain brilliance unless it is cut and polished. Similarly, the true tapas, the sadhana that a sadhaka performs, will not shine except by the ordeals which are the obstacles to it. ~ Guru Vachaka Kovai v 619 Question: How is it that so much suffering comes to people who behave virtuously? Bhagavan: It is good if suffering comes to devotees. The dhobi [washerman], when washing clothes, beats them hard against a rock. But he does so only to remove the dirt from the clothes. Similarly, all sufferings are given for the sole purpose of purifying the mind of the devotee. If we are patient, happiness will follow. ~~ Living by the Words of Bhagavan, p. 238
