Spirituality is all about connecting to the Spirit. Such a simple
definition; yet such a profound meaning attached to it. I learnt this from My
Gurudev, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji. He has a unique way of explaining everything
in such simple words that it often leaves me spellbound. It gives me a new
perspective to look at things around me.
Growing up in a spiritually inclined family, I always felt some
connection to the Unknown, to that which pervades everything. However, as with
most seekers, I could not really find an expression or a foothold into what
exactly I was looking for. And then, all of a sudden, my first Art of Living
Course happened. I still remember I was sitting in my corporate training room,
battling with a thousand thoughts inside my head; when the trainer announced
that we shall be doing something “new” that day and in came a volunteer from
the Art of Living; as if carrying all the answers to the million questions running
through my head.
This was a different person; there was something about the
effortless confidence, the spontaneous smile oozing from her being: there was
something magical about this human being and I was definitely keen to discover
the secret to it!
