Sakshi-The Witness

There is wisdom beyond every event.

There is love beyond every person.

There is infinity beyond every object.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

These are beautiful lines spoken by world renowned spiritual leader and humanitarian Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Though sounds very simple but these few lines are impregnated with vast wisdom which immediately bring the shift in consciousness by little dwelling. Other significance of these 'sutras', the tenets of wisdom is that it covers most of mind stuff/activity/thought. If carefully deliberated one find mind dwells either on events, people or objects most of the times and all most all over conflicts whether personal or otherwise can be attributed to these three dimension of existence namely events, people and objects. Interestingly, events, people and objects brings two kinds of experiences, pleasurable or miserable. When these attributes brings pleasurable experience mind develop craving for those events, people or objects (e.g. partying, friends and treasures) while miserable experiences from events, people or objects (e.g. accidents, arguments from people and burdens) can cause aversion. This leads to the origin of craving and aversion, the majestic duality of this world and the whole life force is trapped wrestling with these this power of two and this whole drama sometime described as 'maya', the matrix in vedic texts.

Now how to go beyond this matrix, beyond this duality of craving and aversion and get rid of misery and conflict from our life; answer lies in above mentioned 'sutras'. If the mind is in trouble know that the mind is stuck in some event, person or object and it can't experience peace and rest and solution lies 'BEYOND' event, people and object. The way to achieve it by being simple 'sakshi' the WITNESS to events, people and objects when mind stops assigning pleasurable or miserable connotations to events, people or objects and a different dimension of consciousness opens up. Where mind is not meddling up with events, people or objects like a mad dog stuck in mud but silently watching the scenery as it unfolds. That expanded state of consciousness, that sakshi state brings us wisdom beyond events, deep experience of love beyond every person and vision of infinity beyond objects.

So become witness now and experience the tremendous wealth it brings with it. Oh Sakshi! Anyway you are.....

Sri Sri University

Sri Sri University Formal education trains people to take up different roles in the society in pursuit of economic growth and social order. With the Indian industry poised to take off as a global economic power, the demand for skilled youth to guide and carry on this pursuit can not be underestimated. Paradoxically, it is confronted with an ever increasing number of educated youth, with mismatched skill-sets: youth with an abundance of technical knowledge but clearly lacking in focus on inner joy, initiative and creativity. Sri Sri University is an international initiative to address this anomaly by developing tomorrow's leaders, managers of change, trained to the industry requirements, with an attitude and skill-set transcending specific disciplines. Inspired by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, students will look beyond their own limitations and share bigger responsibilities as worthy citizens and brim with confidence. In them we may see not just the smartest, but the leaders,

Achieving Quality Living

If we look around in history also in life around us, there are people who have created history or who are creating history. These are handful of people which you count on fingers while other part of population seems mere existing on the this planet rather than living the life. Just look closely any inspiring figure whether a social workers, reformers, spiritual leaders or Business Tycoons you can take any name say it Martin Luther king or Mother Teresa, or Sri Sri Ravi Shankar or Swami Vivekananda, Bill Gates, Henry Ford All these people have same number of minutes in a day as we have. Then why these people able to deliver much more than we do? What make them different from other people. Now this is a wider issue. I am catching one thread of discussion in this post. If you realize in life we do kind of actions one which are life supporting and other are life degrading. Life supporting actions help us to move forward life life degrading actions bind our legs and put us back. And not do
