In less than a week, the simple, yet profound Art of Living Part I Course brings to our experience that life is truly beautiful! The Sudarshan Kriya, is a powerful energizer and cleanser, while the knowledge discussed in the course, presents life’s deepest secrets in a language that is easily understood.

Life is much more than our innumerable habitual daily routines... It is so much more than just eating, drinking, sleeping, working, chatting...

The Program opens our eyes, mind and heart to how much more meaningful and complete our lives can be. In a harmonious environment, it’s easy to say, “I feel peaceful and contented.” However, if nothing goes to plan and there is utter chaos all around, and you still say, “Yes! I am peaceful and happy,” then you have attained something very special indeed... That is The Art of Living... and that is what the Part I course brings to our experience.

Although the Art of Living Part I Course is considered to be the entry program for adults, it is recommended that one should repeat this course every few months. Infact, according to most repeaters, with every successive course one receives a better understanding of the knowledge points. Through simple and effective course points, Sri Sri has made accessible profound knowledge.

ART EXCEL stands for All Round Training in Excellence. As the name suggests, children get training covering all aspects - physical, mental, spiritual.

It is a highly effective stress management and human values training program.

Through play and fun and laughter, children learn valuable lessons on how to share with others, work and play in harmony and develop a sense of belongingness. They become more self-expressive and comfortable and natural even with diverse groups of people.

They are also taught some yoga and effective and powerful breathing processes which help to eliminate fear, anxiety, depression and other undesirable emotions.

Meditation, being an important tool to tap the children's hidden potential, forms an integral part of the program.

To truly excel in life is an art, and though much emphasis has traditionally been placed on higher academic achievement, more can be done to give children the tools to handle stress and live life to their fullest potential. The true measure of success is a happy, healthy, well-adjusted child that is able to deal effectively with life’s challenges.

The ART Excel course is a highly effective stress management and human values training program for children. A unique aspect of the program is a specific set of breathing techniques that systematically release emotional and physical stress. Children can use these techniques in any situation to bring about a state of calmness and relaxation, and human values such as joy, friendliness and compassion that are naturally present in children but may have been hidden by stress become apparent.

Practice of these techniques also increases mental clarity and focus. With the ability to thinking clearly, manage their emotions and release stress, children are able to excel in all aspects of life; academic, social, and extracurricular.

Benefits include:
  • Enhancement of creative skills
  • Improvement of memory and concentration
  • Healthier emotions
  • Better interaction with others

    Divya Samaj Nirman literally translated means creating a divine society. This course provides the first opportunity for the individual to take more social responsibility and experience the power of one’s inner strength.

    We all have personal barriers, old habits, or inhibitions that hold us back and keep us from fully participating in life. Yet we all have a deep desire to be the best we can be - for ourselves, our families, our communities and even the world around us. The truth is that those old emotional wounds, self-concepts, attitudes and fears create a barrier between you and the ability to live your heart's desire.

    DSN is a rigorous and transformational course, which through a powerful combination of yoga, special meditations, breathing techniques and group processes, empowers participants to break through those personal barriers and inspire in them greater social activism and responsibility. Dropping whatever isn’t serving your best interests is a completely liberating experience - making you feel that nothing can shake you.

    When you are ready for true freedom and personal empowerment, then you are ready for DSN! This course is open to all those who have completed the Art of Living Part I Course.


         		    

    Sahaj means natural, effortless and Samadhi is a deep meditative state of mind. Sahaj Samadhi is exactly that - a natural, effortless system of meditation that allows the conscious mind to settle deeply into the self, thus giving it much needed deep rest. When the mind settles down it lets go of all tension and stress and centers itself into the present moment.

    It is only in the present moment - those moments when the mind is free from regrets about the past, and anxiety about the future - that one finds true happiness. In just a few sessions you will learn to tap the depths of your own nature.

    Sahaj Samadhi meditation is very easy and enjoyable and regular daily practice can totally transform the quality of your life.
