WHAT IS YOGA
The secret to health and happiness lies deep within every human. Yoga is the science of discovering one's own self - the very source of pure consciousness, peace and bliss. Everyone knows that we don't feel good and we get stressed when there is disharmony in our lives, when our bodies are tired and our busy minds constantly chatter and judge. Through the discipline of Yoga we become more aware of ourselves by doing simple postures, breathing techniques, meditation, and relaxation to rejuvenate the body and quite the mind. It is in this manner that we cultivate harmony in ourselves.

WHAT IS MEDITATION
Settling the surface mind is meditation. Living in the present is meditation. Relaxing deeply is meditation. When you are really happy, reposing in love, you are meditating. Meditation is that space when the thoughts have subsided, and the mind is in complete rest.

WHAT IS SUDHARSHAN KRIYA
Sudarshan Kriya incorporates specific natural rhythms of the breath which harmonize the body, mind and emotions. This unique breathing technique eliminates stress, fatigue and negative emotions such as anger, frustration and depression, leaving you calm yet energized, focused & yet relaxed.
Millions around the world have done this unique practice and have reported better quality of life.

WHAT IS AYURVEDA
Ayurveda is the ancient Indian system of natural & holistic medicine. When translated from Sanskrit, Ayurveda means "the science of life" (the Sanskrit root Ayur means "longevity" or "life" and veda means "science").
While allopathic medicine tends to focus on the management of disease, Ayurveda bestows us with the knowledge of how to prevent disease and how to eliminate its root cause if it does occur.

ESSENCE OF ALL RELIGIONS IS SPIRITUALITY
All religions, be it Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism or Jainism, have three aspects: values, rituals and symbols. Moral and spiritual values are common to all traditions, and the symbols and practices - those rituals and customs that form a way of life within a religion are what distinguish one tradition from another and give each of them their charm! The symbols and practices are like a banana skin, and the spiritual values - the quest for truth and awareness of our divinity - are the banana. However, people in every tradition have thrown away the banana and are holding onto the skin.

Jai GuruDev I am a great fan of Shri Shri Ravi Shankar......His ideas on why violence occurs are universal and apply everywhere.....to every place in the world..... I have sincere and honest question to guruji from my side as a devotee:JGD you have always preached non violence and your organisation has done great deal of selfless and devoted service to people beyond borders....It was truly a proud moment for India when you went to Iraq in the aftermath of US invasion.

[ArtOfLivingTV]

@sgvh1 Your question seems genuinely felt sgvh1 .. buts its unlikely that you will get an answer here(on youtube) from the one whom you seek the answer from. There would be people posting comments both for and against the arguments but you will never know what Sri Sri feels about the same until unless you go and put this question to him personally or in a Satsang. Regards. The Art of Living TV Team.

[sgvh1]

@ArtOfLivingTV Well i really do not have any hard feelings.You may not answer on what Sri Sri feels....yet you can surely give me a hint on what your Organisation has done regarding the Jehadi campaign of removing hindu population from Kashmir....I mean about what AOL has done for those poor victims for whom nobody cared(And still nobody cares) during those days of tough conditions....Many have died due to psychological disorders,truama and sun stroke.

[ArtOfLivingTV]

@sgvh1 We would have loved to answer your questions, but we(the aoltv team) are not qualified to do so. We can answer queries on the functioning of the You tube channels, on the quality of the videos, but cannot do so on the organizations work, its much bigger than our field of responsibility. But what we can do is to show you the way to get your questions answered. Its best that you visit your local center, you can visit the main site you locate the local AoL center.

[sgvh1]

@ArtOfLivingTV Thank you for your time!

[ArtOfLivingTV]

@sgvh1 You are welcome!

[khyatidasani]

We love you Guruji :D!!!

[sgvh1]

@ArtOfLivingTV Nobody seem courageous about talking on those 1989-1990 days of genocide in Kashmir.

[sgvh1]

@sgvh1 I also want to know what has your organisation done with regard to the expulsion of 3,50,000 Hindu pandits(Currently langushing in camps like refugees do) from the Indian Administered Jammu and Kashmir.Well you have never mentioned in any of your discourses, the Killing of 10,000 Hindus in Indian Administered Kashmir by hundreds of Jehadists under propaganda and instructive influence from Pakistan........Why?

[sgvh1]

@sgvh1 Why?

[sgvh1]

@sgvh1 Yet when it comes to fundamentalist attacks by Muslims against Hindus( in India) and hindu sentiments,for eg. The banning of Vande Mataram from being sung by Muslims....(Even those who are very much legal Indian Citizens),you have maintained a stony silence.You never asserted nationalist sentiments on such kinds of divisive resolutions passed by the Deobandis(Even when you met them)
