*India Against Corruption
Corruption is happening every minute and at almost every possible level of
the system in India right now. Together, we have the power to remove it from
its roots, and make India the starting point of action against corruption
across the world. But to make that possible, we need to ask ourselves the
following 3 questions…
*1. Why is corruption happening?*
It’s happening because of poor laws and policies in the government, which
keep changing according to the whims and fancies of politicians and get
mended according to what suits them best.
Guruji says, it’s happening because of lack of belongingness and the only
obvious cure is Spirituality which can bring back the Human Values.
Corruption happens because people don’t feel that they belong to each other.
“apne hi hai sab log”. No one would want a bribe from his own family member
would they? Every action arises out of our own thought, and self
purification is the cure. To feel that belongingness, Self purification is
required. Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, Sudarshan Kriya, Seva, Satsang,
Silence and Grace can bring about that transformation in an individual and
hence in society.
*2. Is there any solution to corruption?*
Yes!
The first thing is to eliminate corruption at your own level. Say no to
bribes; join hands to fight corruption through marches, awareness campaigns
and mass vote. For the India Against Corruption movement, the solution is to
lay strict Anti Corruption rules by the formation of the *Jan Lokpal
Bill*by the citizens.
What is and What could be...
*3. What can I do? How do I contribute to this movement?*
a. Join the India Against Corruption movement, by giving a missed call to
022 61550789 (we need at least 25 Lakh missed calls, around 5 Lakh are done
so far). We will SMS you a message from Anna and others, on what you can do
today, and every day.
b. Stay in touch with minute-by-minute progress, join us on
facebook.
c. Spread this message. Write on your facebook walls, publish this article
on your blog. Print it out and stick it in your lifts and office notice
boards. Do whatever it takes to get it to the public at large. Invite people
to join Anna at the Jantar Mantar
Event
Do anything and everything in your capacity! Our nation needs LAKHS to join
Anna at Jantar Mantar!
For any suggestions/queries: – write to: iac.noida@gmail.com
Our Nation needs responsible, empowered people right now, so let’s help our
India, our Bharat Mata in every possible way we are capable of!
Another of Guruji’s quotes to end with: *“When you come out of your personal
comfort zone and take a higher responsibility, you will find that whatever
you want gets magically taken care of!”*
Jai Gurudeva!
Lets Fight Against Corruption...
ALL R INVITED...
The Berlin Olympic Stadium
Art of Living turns 30 this year. We have been on planet Earth for 30 wonderful years.
We are having a huge celebration: The World Culture Festival at the Berlin Olympic Stadium on the 2nd and 3rd of July 2011. A stadium originally built by Hitler for the infamous Berlin Olympics in the last century, will be used to spread the message of One World Family – Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. A message of Peace, Love, Happiness and Harmony in Diversity.
This will be followed by a YES!+ Advance course from the 4th to the 7th of July Wid Guruji ofcourse!.
After more than a month of discussion and haggling with various Travel Agents, we have some very nice prices for people who wish to come!
Departure from India is either from Bombay or Delhi on June 30th.
The price is *drum roll* Rs 51,000!!
The price includes airfare from India (ex Bombay and Delhi) to Berlin and back. The price includes the entry to the World Culture Festival on 2nd and 3rd as well as the price for the YES!+ Advance Course. It includes meals on the Advance course.
We have got this fare after ridiculous amounts of quibbling with all parties concerned and it is utterly non refundable.
It doesn’t include your accommodation in Berlin. If you wish to rough it out and stay in a tent, it will cost you about Rs 6000 from July 1st to 8th. You will need to bring your own sleeping bags.
If you wish to stay in a dorm type accommodation, 2-3 people in one room, then it will cost you about Rs 15,000 from July 1st to 8th.
We can assist you in getting any of these types of accommodation. There are only 40 beds available now in Berlin for the dorm accommodation. Plenty of tent accommodation is there.
If you wish to have better accommodation in a hotel, then click to book directly from the the WCF website, where various hotels in Berlin are giving discounted fares esp. to the people coming for WCF 2011.
The price of Rs 51,000 is available only to the first 70 people who book, after which it will increase by approximately Rs 5000 for the next 70 people. Also all prices are expected to go up by around 20% from April 1st.
You will need to pay the money before the 26th of March. You need to have a passport valid at least till December 2011.
Budget about Rs 2500 for traveling to and fro the advance course venues to wherever you are staying, and about Rs 5000 for food on the first 3 days.
Visa cost will be approximately Rs 6000.
For more details as well as to register yourself for this trip, please drop a mail to berlin@wayeonline.org
Jai Gurudeva!
ps :We are planning a trip around Europe after the 7th of July as well. Will post details here as soon as they are final… Look out for Posts B and C in this series
GURU PURNIMA - GRACE : GRATITUDE
It is the day when a disciple wakes up in his fullness and in the wakefulness he can’t be but grateful. This gratitude is not of dwaita (you and me), but of advaita. It is not a river moving from somewhere to somewhere, but is the ocean moving within itself. So, gratefulness on Guru Purnima symbolizes that fullness...
The purpose of the Guru Purnima celebration is to turn back, review and see in this last one year how much one has progressed in his life. For a seeker, Guru Purnima is a day of significance. It is the day to review one’s progress on the spiritual path and renew one’s determination and focus on the goal.. As the full moon rises and sets, tears of gratitude arise and repose into the vastness of one’s own self...
With an Tear of Gratitude...Jaigurudeva!!
Survey on Combating Corruption...
Dear friends,
CENPAP, Art of Living Foundation and WAYE are undertaking Nationwide Survey on Social Approval of Corruption. For this important study you have been invited as one of the respondents for giving your considered opinion on various issues affecting Corruption in India. Your participation in the survey will remain strictly confidential and your identity will not be revealed to anyone. The research of the survey is being collaborated by one of the leading consultancy firms of India, which will then be submitted to the concerned Indian Government authority. Thus your response has a chance to impact the government policy making.
It may take you about 15 minutes to complete the survey form and it would be good learning and great awareness as well. Its ideal to send this to all your contacts in your Address Book, to your friends and colleagues and would be great if you can sit with your mom and/or dad and get them also to fill up the questionnaire. We need representative samples from ALL sections of society, so even your maids, drivers, security guards can also contribute, with your help.
The survey is available online till 17th June midnight, but do fill it up before it becomes Urgent and Important, i.e, NOW! :-)
