I had read many of Gurudev's articles, books and watched His knowledge sheets in audio, but it wasn't until 2006 that I met Him for the first time.
That's when the feeling actually started sinking in. It’s like when you make a scrumptious dish, you need to know the right recipe, but it's only when you taste the dish that you realise its value.
Same was my encounter with Gurudev. Since then, my life has witnessed various ups and downs, and other challenges. But I have always sensed a Divine hand on my soul.
I have always sailed through, with a smile on my face. With His grace, I have been able to endure it all, with my calm intact, always.
One day, a person asked me about this sudden change in my attitude, that I always seemed happy and jovial. I told him that the secret for it was nothing but my Guru, and since then even he is excited to come around and know more about the Art Of Living.
Over the past 10 years, from whatever personal experiences I have had with AOL, one thing I can say with certainty, it's a must do course for one and all.
In today's day and age, dealing with the continuous hustle bustle of life can be quite demanding, leading to unavoidable stress and fatigue.
But with this course, people can learn how to handle stress and difficult situations with great ease and panache.
We just need to realise that all these are passing clouds, some are dark, some are grey, but as they say, every cloud has a silver lining.
We just need to learn to handle our mind, tame it the right way, it's that simple. But implementing such knowledge is truly an art, and what better place to learn this other than the Art of Living.
Living certainly is an art, and you're not fully living if you haven't learnt the Art of Living. With my beloved Gurudev's grace, all my problems have been solved in time.
I have become happier, relaxed and hale and hearty. I truly feel as though I am swimming in a pool brimming with grace.
And I don't need to worry, for there is an unseen force, the divine love, that is taking care of me. Thank you Gurudev. Jgd.
