It's all bondage only until you find your Guru. The Guru will always whisper the secret of life to the one who is open enough to hear it. Sharing the gratitude for having a Guru like @SriSri who is guiding the world to become free and be happy. Happy Happy #GuruPurnima

Absolutely. The loud dance of lies and calumny finally exposed. The world knew the vested agenda of NGT. Surely, we trusted Gurudev's tweet of April 2017 nitter.gq/Gurudev/status/8523940…
Patience pays. Truth triumphs. Today, the Honorable Supreme Court has vindicated our stand.

Absolutely... It's unfortunate that the leadership of the VishwaGuru is unable to communicate with its own people. Arrogance must be shunned as much as violent protests.
The voices of India’s youth deserve to be heard with patience. A breakdown in communication serves no one and is deeply unfortunate. Very sorry to see the current state of affairs.

Bengaluru, Karnataka: Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, "Gurudev said many things just now. You may feel that he was praising me, but I felt that he was actually assigning me responsibilities... I belong to you, I have come among you, and I am here because of you. Today marks Gurudev’s 70th year. But since I am one of you, I will say it openly, I will come again when your centenary celebrations take place."

It's heart breaking to see bright minds succumbing to stress and mental issues and ending life in a country which is the birthplace of effective lifestyle techniques like yoga, meditation & breathing exercises. It's time India embrace #SudarshanKriya of the @ArtofLiving. It works
Replying to @ANI
A lot needs to be done regarding #MentalHealth. It has to start from the basics of our upbringing and should continue in our working places. We would lose the advantage of demographic dividend if we keep neglecting this important dimension of our existence. @TheTrueTopper

Absolutely.. Patience is surely a prerequisite virtue for any spiritual ritual. Divine likes those who shed feverishness and repose faith in the Ultimate Will. Divine will surely take care of everyone who has endured with devotion to reach Sangam. Let's be caring and sensible.
VIDEO | On stampede-like situation at Sangam, Prayagraj, spiritual Guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (@Gurudev) says, "Such big congregations... but the government has made very good elaborate arrangements... inspite of that such things have happened. Let me pray for the families of those who are affected by this. I would appeal to people, when you go to Kumbh... take your time, don't have to rush. Stampede happens when we want to rush first. You need lot of patience in big congregations... your turn will come. That is something we need to keep people more aware of it." #MahaKumbh2025 #MahaKumbhWithPTI (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)

This state of awareness can dawn only when we integrate practical mind management practices like #pranayama, #meditation and #SudarshanKriya. That's why the path @SriSri is laying out for us is so precious. #Gratitude
People who complain are not productive, and those who work hard have nothing to complain about because they are busy working. If you catch yourself complaining, become aware and let go of your complaints. Channel your energy into doing something productive.

In moments when you encounter your limitations and boundaries, observe: Are you confined by these boundaries, or can you preserve your freedom, your non-judgmental stance, and innocent love? If you can solidify this, nothing in the world can take away your peace.

An amazing vision. Not just increasing the water table but also creating a chain reaction of prosperity. Only a movement anchored in spirituality can deliver such achievements.
1,000 farmers from across Maharashtra are at the @BangaloreAshram today. It is heartening to hear their success stories where they have doubled and tripled their income as beneficiaries of the @ArtofLiving’s ‘JalTara’ project and Natural Farming trainings.

Farmers from across India have different demands and different circumstances. Instead of taking to the streets, I urge all farmers to consult with each other and to select credible experts as their representatives to logically present their demands to the government. #kisan #KisanAndolan #FarmersProtest #FarmersProtest2024 @PMOIndia @AgriGoI

Among those who know the Truth, there is no division. May the tribe of people who understand the essence of divinity multiply.

Thank you Gurudev @SriSri for preparing the ground for such feelings of harmony. Your efforts for decades to bring around all the stakeholders to an amicable settlement is solely responsible for creating such a space. May the feelings of Oneness grow.
#SriSriOnAyodhya on #NationWantsToKnow | Muslims have only good feelings about the Ram Mandir.

#SriSriOnAyodhya | I request them, Lord Ram belongs to the whole of India. Keep politics aside. Just come and participate in the once is a lifetime event, we should not miss it. See beyond politics. Just because PM Modi has built the new Parliament, would these leaders also skip attending the Parliament? That's foolish argument: Global humanitarian and spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (@SriSri) on politics over Ram Mandir inauguration Tune in for #TheNationWantsToKnow with Arnab - youtu.be/XYOg4GJe-CU #NationWantsToKnow #RamTemple #Ayodhya #RamMandir #AyodhyaTemple #ArnabGoswami #RamTemple #RamMandirUtsav #AyodhyaDham #AyodhyaRamTemple #AyodhyaJanmBhoomi #SriSriRaviShankar
