Secrets of Relationships



“Head-to-head communication is through thoughts and words, while heart-to-heart communication is through feelings. People throughout the ages; have felt they cannot communicate their feelings. If we could communicate all our feelings through words, then we would be leading a very shallow life. Life is rich because feelings cannot be captured in words! So we use all these gestures- we hug, so that hearts come closer, we give flowers, so that the feelings are conveyed...We put all our efforts into expressing our feelings... and still, feelings remain unexpressed.”

-H. H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

My Beginning point...



Manipal is a special place for me. Why? This is the place where I started taking my steps as the Faculty of YES!+ (Youth Empowerment & Skills Workshop). Most of us will agree our first place will always be special. Manipal is the place which will make you feel at home. A town by the youths, for the youths and to the youths. While I was staying there, morning walks were so cool. Weather enhanced this feeling, gals and guys carrying namesake books in one hand and balancing a sandwich or mobiles on the other, taking steps forward. I felt nice as I was not one of them. Lol.

The food courts, Messes (Pun intended), the circles(TC, KC etc), the blocks....hey I meant girls hostel, boys hostel... not the other blockages, the photo-copy shops, the recharge coupons, coffee shops ,guards ...hmmmm impressive... This is Manipal for the first timers. IT depends on your guides J how you look at this place. Mine were great people like Kulpreet, Rohit (Committed), Sudheshna (Mommy), Ankit, Dr Harsha (My official caretaker & excellent self-made cook), Monica and many more.

Great Job Guys....

Follow up session

Today i just loved the follow up session that happened,because of the number of people who turned up and no matter what..adjusted in every situation. The next thing which came to my mind was that when Guruji wants somthing to happen it happens. Now take an example of the follow up today the right no. of people turned up and we were enough to fit in the house we had.
So, its like you just keep faith in the divine, do his work and automatically the divine will see to it that your work in done.

Ours next yes+ course is starting from 4 nov....so guys just work on it...everyday just talk to 10 people or more if you can just make people aware of what is yes+ and leave it to guruji, he will see to it that how many registrations will be there for th course.
Another thing that striked my mind was that don't put a negative sankalpa in the work, if u feel you can't work, then just say it anyays nobody is going to force you to work for the course. Its your own free will.
Whenever you wake up in the morning, just work with this sankalpa that guruji, today am gonna talk to 10 people about this course, and it is upto you how you bring them to the course.

Lastly, do your kriya everyday, and study well for your exams.
Now i also have to study......cya
Hope you like the post.
Comment on it and let me know if anything you would like to get posted on our blog.
Jai Gurudev!!

Luv rohit.
