“How can you lose when I am with you”

“How can you lose when I am with you” I was blessed to do the Blessings course a couple of months back at the Bangalore Ashram , and that too in the presence of Guruji !!! The Blessings course is a profound course by itself and it makes the virtues like innocence, naturalness, simplicity and humility shine forth in the participants.

Bal Chetna Shibir is a beautiful course of Art of Living which teaches children very core human values through games, stories , processes and some pranayams and meditation.
