This Begins a New Practice - Knowledge Sheet 1


Hey all

From today onwards, i've decided to post a Knowledge Sheet every monday on our blog.



These are Knowledge Sheets that have been given by H.H. Sri Sri Ravishankar from the year 1995 on a weekly basis and people from around the world would be eagerly waiting for them. A practice which started off as just a simple note from the Master, has now been compiled into a Seven Volume series named as "An Intimate Note to the Sincere Seeker". Before i did my advance course, i just heard people talking about how deep and profound this knowledge but yet it so simple and you could incorporate it in your daily life. I really could not relate to what they were saying, but once i started reading through some of the sheets that my friend Prasanna sent me, it really striked a chord somewhere and slowly it started making sense. (they say that whenever you are in trouble/depression you just need to flip through any one of the books and you are bound to find an answer to your trouble on that page... :-) )

More than me saying more about this, i would just paste an extract from BawanDinesh's blog which they wrote for the Dvd Cover which more or less sounds like a prologue and sums up my thoughts. So, in their own words, we begin a journey which i am sure would be a one that we will all cherish for a lifetime, if not at this moment, at some point of our life for sure.

"For 7 years, every week Guruji (Sri Sri Ravi Shankar) used to send out a page of Knowledge to be read out and discussed at the satsangs happening all over the world. He used to call it the Knowledge fax … This was before email became popular enough for everyone to use :)

Every week we waited eagerly for what Guruji would say through these Knowledge Sheets, many times we would be with Him while He dictated them out and we compiled them. The atmosphere would always be full of wisdom coupled with big doses of mirth. And the Knowledge sheets themselves are always profound, sometimes quite funny…

Dinesh and i decided to do a commentary on them, reliving those precious moments spent with Guruji, reading them out for you and peppering them with stories and examples of how this Knowledge from Him has come alive for us in our lives.

Re reading them now, after so many years of Sadhana, Seva and Satsang has made us realise just how beautiful and precious these words from Him are … We are throughly enjoying ourselves making these videos, we know you will love watching them too."



Have fun...

Jai Gurudeva!!!

Love

Abhiram

p.s: This week i will be posting one video everyday, as we have already uploaded six of them, we will have to catch up. And from next week onwards, every monday a video will be up. So i can guarantee that atleast there will be one post on the blog every week courtesy myself. :-) :-) :-)
