Dear One Jai Gurudev Sougata and Anusree, two of our 'Gift A Smile' interns sat with students of our Ved Vignan Maha Vidya Peeth school, Rural Bangalore on a lovely afternoon to gather their thoughts on their school experience. To read what they had to say    Voice of innocent hearts On a warm November afternoon, students of Ved Vignan Maha Vidya Peeth were asked to write a small article on the topic “My school” within a time frame of 15 minutes allotted to them. We kept it a surprise because we wanted them to write whatever came naturally to them rather than a prepared speech flowered with adjectives to make their English teacher proud:-) . After a  sumptuous  lunch, we thought they will be ready to snooze. But the children were not at all deterred by it; contrarily they were so enthusiastic. Every child had a fresh perspective. and each spoke from the heart.We picked out three to share with you. (Please Note:The unedited articles of the stud...

Sri Sri Visit Gyan Vihar University Honorable Chief Mentor, Vice Chancellor of the University and Members of the faculty, I humbly accept this degree that you have conferred on me. See, today I received one but I gave away many. This is what education should do. What we receive we should give back to society, and as students you have received so much education here, now see how you can put that into use in life. The trouble in today’s world is not because of lack of education but because education is being misrepresented, misused and misunderstood. We need to clear these three things. Education is meant not to just make us tablets of information but living examples of high standards of ethics. Education is to make us such strong personalities, which would spread harmony, which would bring progress in the society and spread love and compassion. This is what I strongly believe. So we need to educate ourselves and people around us. Education is to make one a strong personali...

Astonishment brings wakefulness Astonishment is the basis of spiritual opening. Its amazing how this creation is so full of astonishing things around. But we take things for granted. And that’s when a thought of inertia dawns and dullness comes along. Tamas acts in, inactivity happens and ignorance resides. Whereas a sense of astonishment brings wakefulness. A miracle shocks you; that shock is the wakefulness. And when we are awakened we see the whole creation is full of miracles. The entire creation is to be wondered upon; because it is all a display of one consciousness. From the point of view of an animal, your language means nothing. It is just like howling. If a cat or a dog were to look at you, unless you have trained them for a very long time, they will think you are barking at them, just with a different sound, making no sense. Our language, our intellect, our mind is so limited, its perspective is limited. Our little brain is programmed to one language or f...

What I am saying is that spirituality is not a short-term entertainment, where you read a book and feel somewhat satisfied, and then move on. It is a complete and proven knowledge. With God’s Grace, whatever you desire is not difficult to obtain, I say this with confidence that this is a power that works - Sri Sri

‘Jo ichcha kariho manu maahi, prabhu prataap kachhu durlabh naahin’. This is a proven fact. If for small and frequent intervals we quieten our minds, we will be able to establish that connection with him. Then, whatever you desire, will no longer remain impossible - Sri Sri
