“Behind every culprit there is a victim crying for help”, these words were experienced at the Korovo prison in Suva when i took the course for the convicts. For me they were participants and not prisoners and every human being has the potential to change and love infinitely. The first day was tough as they were an intensely naughty group of humans but when it all started, the churning within had commenced and the fumes of negativity were being evaporated and goodness emerging.
The kriya touched them the way it has whispered into so many hearts and minds. I could feel my acceptance and not a single time was i interested in their past, what mattered the most was the present. Seeing their experiences was like seeing God, Generating greatness, Operational present moment and Destruction of the past. “God is never an object of isolation but the very core of your being.” as He says and in the midst of deep volcanic negativity the fiji prisoners experienced the shore of peace.
“There is place for everybody in the heart of the Divine” as Guruji says, but now it is time the world keeps the Divine in their hearts, bows down and says JaiGurudev!
Happy Birthday Guruji and thank You for everything.
just awesome 🙂 Just reminded me my experience of teaching course in Meerut prison. It was a altogether a different experience to feel intense love behind those eyes 🙂

And here is experience from one of the participant Inna
Hi everyone!
So I finally made it to our first destination in Beijing, after 31 hours of travel — oof! The good news, though – free internet in our hotel.
A couple of interesting observations – so I did the kriya practice the first night here, and after the second round even, it put me into a nice pre-sleep space. And I slept like a rock, and woke up (mostly) refreshed. Good deal!
The other interesting thing I noticed is that after eating only vegetarian food for 4 days, and adding in fish on the 5th day, meat today made me feel heavy and kind of gross. Not sure I’m ready to turn into a vegetarian, but it’s certainly been interesting to notice.
One of our Chinese guides commented to me today that every time she sees me, I’m smiling. I totally wasn’t aware that I was! But, of course, I still have Dinesh’s voice in my head saying “smiiiile…” 🙂
Hope everyone is well.
Cheers!
Inna

Wow dada! Taking a course of the prisoners must have been altogether a great experience……On 13th May last year, Utsav had started here, n this year, Sunil Bhaiya’s YES!+ ended on the very same day… n one of the dynamic teachers of the AOL Maheshgiriji was expected to arrive on 17 May 2009, i.e. last year, finally he came yesterday, exactly after one year. The day was very very special because of 5 reasons:-
1. It was Guruji’s birthday
2. It was Akshay tritiya
3. Maheshgiriji came to Indore, laughed so many times during his knowledge session, my cheeks were aching by the end of the session.
4. It was upgrade of the YES!+ yesterday, actually Sunil bhaiya explained how a volunteer should be…it was such a nice learning….
5. And ………I heard the final part of the narad bhakti sutra…. the ultimate truth……so nice….. so beautiful…..I really have sympathy for the intellect of those people who find beauty in Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts or Tom Cruise……. 99.99% of the beauty lies in the spiritual knowledge……….Its so much beautiful….. my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!……..I mean….My Guruji!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!……….
Hope to write a poem on the narad bhaktio sutras soon……….hahahahah
Love
Meghu
If “CON” is the opposite of “PRO”, what is the opposite of PROGRESS? …
sahi hai..they r so lucky to have Guruji in thier life… they r experiencing Guruji’s presence by doing kriya…and absolutely they must have transformed in better living life…
Happy Birthday Guruji!!!
and Thanks Bhaiyya 🙂
