Awesome Experience Attending Teacher Training Program at Art of Living Bangalore Ashram

With the blessings of Gurudev, recently I attended the Teacher Training Program
at Art of Living International Centre, Bangalore. Just thought of sharing the
experience here:

Travelled by train to Bangalore. The journey was comfortable. From Majestic
travelled to the Ashram by sharing a taxi with other folks.

The registration, room allocation processes went very smoothly. Had a nice
satsang and dinner.

We had morning sadhana everyday, ending with nice sattvic breakfast. I also
liked the sattvic lunch and dinner provided everyday.

Gurudev himself took couple of teacher training sessions this time for us.

Got the rare opportunity of witnessing Gurudev performing Rudra Pooja for
two consecutive Mondays. Here is a photo:



















Icing on the cake is, we had the opportunity to witness the inauguration of
new meditation hall by Gurudev.

Had the opportunity to witness Gurudev performing Devi Pooja for 2 consecutive
Fridays in the new meditation hall.

With the help of our teacher Manikandan Ji, had a special darshan with Gurudev
for people from Tamil Nadu. Asked us to focus more on the rural areas to bring
the benefit of this knowledge to them.

I had the opportunity to do seva at Sri Sri Institute of Agricultural Sciences and
technology. Came to know about Lakshmi Taru Tree. Shared the details in another
article here.

We had an opportunity to tour the ashram and here are some photos.



















Thanks to our teacher Manikandan Ji, who has taken care of us throughout the
course period very nicely.

Lakshmi Taru Tree Boon to Humankind

Recently I attended the teacher training program at Art of Living
International Centre, Bangalore. As part of the Seva activity,
I was at Sri Sri Institute of Agricultural Sciences and Technology.

During that time, I came across Lakshmi Taru Tree. The following
picture shows the medicinal properties, ailments that it can cure.
























Cultivation, nursery techniques, uses can be found here
























I got some seeds and sowed the same at my home.
Waiting for them to come up. Will post pictures later.
