importance of Rudra Pooja

Q: Guruji! What is the importance of Rudra Pooja? 🍃 Sri Sri: "How did you feel after the pooja? Rudra pooja has been going on since centuries. It impacts the person and the environment. They say that the villages in which Rudra pooja is done, there will be no sickness. The important thing is to meditate. People perform this as a ritual, without devotion and they do not get any benefit out of it. These mantras affect the subtle world. Do not go looking for the meaning of the mantras. The vibration of the words is what is important. The pooja is done not for one or two people. It converts all the negativity into positivity." Rudrapooja: ¤ Honours the 6 Shaktis: ○ Shiva ○ Vishnu Narayan ○ Ganpati ○ Surya ○ Maha Devi [Laxmi, Saraswati & Shakti] & ○ Gurutattva ¤ Reduces 4 types of Doshas: ○ Pitrudosha ○ Gruhdosha ○ Vastudosha & ○ Karmadosha ¤ Balances the tridoshas: ○ Vata ○ Pitta & ○ Kapha ¤ Increases Prana & Sattva Guna in us and in the environment around us.

Happiness

Beautiful Knowledge from the Master. 😍 I would like to take you into deeper knowledge soon. We will go into deeper knowledge, but for that the first thing you need to do is be satisfied. See, in the world there is no end to problems. Some or the other problems keep coming up, either financial, or health related, or relationship related problems. And if none of these are there, there is the problem of someone saying something to you and you feeling upset about it. The mind keeps getting caught up in problems. You should rise above this, and understand that the nature of the world is like that. See, if you have a home which is near the highway, how can you complain about noise? Similarly, if someone has a home in the forest and they are afraid of animals, then what can you say? If someone has a home near the ocean, and they are afraid of water, what can be said to them? Similarly, when you are in the world, there will be some pleasant experiences and some unpleasant experiences. There will be some blame and some praise, all of this will happen, but none of these should touch you, you should just keep moving ahead. So, sit happily, walk happily and do everything happily. Someone asked me yesterday, 'What was the happiest time of your life?' I said, 'What? The happiest time? Why do you tie 'time' with 'happiness'? I am happiness'. Time changes, sometimes there are good times and sometimes there are bad times. If you tie 'happiness' to 'time', then happiness will also change as times change. But when you know, that happiness has nothing to do with time, then you can be happy at all times. And this is knowledge! We tie our happiness to people, places, situations, or time. All that you need to do is move away from this and realize that your nature is happiness, and it has nothing to do with time. This is the highest knowledge. It may sound very difficult, but it is not impossible. Any fool can be unhappy when things are not okay. But it takes courage to be happy even when things are falling apart. And you are all courageous and strong! - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Advanced meditation course at the Art of Living!

Jgd! Our advance course is like a workshop and our ashram is like a car service centre where all kinds of cars come - few without brake, few without steering, few cars not moving ahead... (laugh). So Until the car is properly serviced don't run away till the mechanic says stay back and relax. Have proper food and avoid junk food. For 3 days avoid all twitter and computer chit-chat till late night. Be in you. Do seva. Do cleaning. Be with nature. Do some physical work for an hour. Seva, Sadhana and Satsang is like "Sim card", "Charge" and "Network" - Sri Sri

Om

Q: Gurudev, during meditation you mentioned that we have come from OM and will also disappear in Om. How is that a mere sound is my source as well as my end? #SriSri: Sound is generated due to objects getting struck i.e aahat. Om is the quintessential sound that is produced without any impact i.e. anahat. It is not created from conflict. Sound is energy or waves and so are you.

why are we all here in this world?

Q:Dear Gurudev, why are we all here in this world? Gurudev HH Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji This is a very good question. It is a million dollar question. I want you to keep this question with yourself. I will never take it away from you, because this question is like a vehicle for you to transform your life, make unwanted things drop off from your life and help you reach the Ultimate. So keep this question with you. You are on the right track.

Om Namah Shivaya

What is Pitru Dosha, how does it affect our daily life and how do we correct it? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Pitru Dosha comes out of torturing the parents or ancestors. If children torture the parents and do not understand them, then that is called Pitru Dosha. The parents have brought you up with so much love, taking pain they have given you a good life, they have been by your side and helped you grow, and then you don't give them love and inflict pain on them, that is called Pitru Dosh. But I tell you, your meditation, your being on the spiritual path, keeping a clean heart and doing a selfless service, to some degree will eliminate the Dosha from your life. See, sometimes people are miserable not because you did something to them, but they are miserable because of their own ignorance. They expect things from you which you may not be able to deliver. Then you don't get Pitru Dosha. It happens when they are really pained by something you could do, but you did not do. When you intentionally inflict pain on the parents due to your selfish reasons then that is Pitru Dosha. Then what happens? The progeny will have problems. Your children will give you problems. The impact of it is -- children are born with some special needs; some deformities. These are all the signs of Pitru Dosha. Somewhere in the ancestral line, parents were very unhappy with their kids, now you have to become unhappy with your own kids. This is the law of karma. But there is a remedy for it, and the remedy is meditation. 'Om Namah Shivaya' chanting also helps. This is why it's called Maha Mantra. It can rectify any of these Doshas. 'Om Namah Shivaya' does not belong to only one religion. It is universal and it is for everybody.

MEDITATION AND SUCESS !!!

Well, what do you call success? Is it just having a big bank balance? People may have had a lot of fame and name, and a big bank balance, but they may be unable to smile, or they may not be having a good night’s sleep, and many cannot enjoy their meal. Do you know that? To me, success is the undying smile on someone’s face. To me, success is the confidence in a person that he can win, that he can overcome any obstacles, or any situations in his life. That is success! Look at some of the wealthy people, they are so scared of even making friends with anybody. They think that their friends are just there for their money. They get into that state of paranoia. Do you call this success? There are many so called famous people, that even if you squeeze them, there is not an iota of joy in them. I don’t call it success. Well, if you want to be successful and famous, you can do all that, but you have to keep a healthy body and healthy mind. For that, you need to meditate my dear! Meditation is not a direct way to success. It is like watering the root of a tree. When you water the roots, then there are fruits, are flowers and greenery. If you don’t want to meditate, don’t meditate. There is no compulsion. Get thoroughly stressed, and be stressed. If stress can bring you success, well, you should go for it. Who asked you to meditate? Wake up, please wake up. Meditation is not an obstacle for you to be dynamic and successful in your life. In fact, it helps you. If some people are meditating and they are not successful, it is their choice ~~Gurudev HH Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji
