December 28th, 2007 the first time i set my foot on AOL bangalore ashram!! I went there for my first advance course :). The advance course(winter break) was fabulous and life transforming,BUT... that's not what this one's about!!

January 4th,2008... Sudden change of plans for everyone who wanted to leave on 4th because Guruji decided to meet the YES!++ participants,this being the first ever winter break and came all the way from Germany !! So, in a jam packed Vishalakshi Mantap with about 1500 young,dynamic, explosive bodies and silent minds was my first ever encounter with Guruji!!




After an indescribable process of meditation(20 minutes seemed like 10 seconds!!) Guruji unwrapped a box of chocolates(big yummy ones,given by an international) and in his usual stylish ways started throwing them one after the other into the audience. There was chaos everywhere as everyone was in pursuit to grab one!

Then, he said that from a group of about 20-25 only one should stand ... and when he /she manages to get hold of one, should share it with the group.The game had begun and was a lot of fun.

After a few throws he said that "the one who is catching should not eat but only share with the other members of the group". I was just wondering on the beauty of the thought and then came the golden words that got encrypted in my memory(and of course the silly little book :D).

 THERE IS A JOY IN ACHIEVING... AND THERE IS A JOY IN SHARING !!.
