Journey to real ME

03/05/2026

Sharing another beautiful story received via email .A beautiful reminder of faith, inner connection, and how life unfolds in the most unexpected ways.

"Jai Gurudev 🙏

From a small, remote town of Margherita in Assam… to a national stage in Delhi — this journey still feels surreal.

In 2021, I was preparing for a beauty pageant while working full-time as a doctor and taking care of my two children. There was no guidance around me—no experts for grooming, no catwalk training, no photoshoot support. Just me, my determination… and my SKY breath ( Sudarshna Kriya) practice.

I walked into that competition as a complete outsider.

But something beautiful used to happen during my SKY practice. A question would repeatedly come to my mind—
“What if the jury asks you this?”
I would brush it aside, thinking it was just my imagination.

Days passed, rounds cleared… and I somehow reached the finale.

And then, in that defining moment—the jury asked the final question.

It was the SAME question. The very same one that had come to me during my practice… word for word.

In that instant, something shifted. There was no fear, no doubt—only confidence. I answered from a place of complete stillness… and the entire hall echoed with applause.

That day, I was crowned Mrs. India One in a Million (Gold) 2021.

Looking back, I realize… when you are centered, prepared, and connected within, life aligns in the most unexpected ways.

Grateful for SKY, for faith, and for the journey ✨

*KNOWLEDGE AS A BURDEN*

Knowledge is a burden if it robs you of innocence.
Knowledge is a burden if it is not integrated into life.
Knowledge is a burden if it doesn't bring joy.
Knowledge is a burden if it gives you an idea that you are wise.
Knowledge is a burden if it doesn't set you free.
Knowledge is a burden if it makes you feel you are special.

*GRATITUDE* - Excellent story.....!

There was a bird who lived in a desert, very sick, no feathers, nothing to eat and drink, no shelter to live in. One day a dove was passing by, so the sick unhappy bird stopped the dove and inquired "where are you going?" it replied "I am going to heaven".

So the sick bird said "please find out for me, when my suffering will come to an end?" The dove said, "sure, I will." and bid a good bye to the sick bird. The dove reached heaven and shared the message of the sick bird with the angel incharge at the entrance gate.

The angel said, "For the next seven years of its life the bird has to suffer like this, no happiness till then."

The dove said, "When the sick bird hears this he will get disheartened. could you suggest any solution for this."

The Angel replied, "Tell him to recite this verse *"Thank you God for everything!"* The dove on meeting the sick bird again, delivered the message of the angel to it.

After seven days the dove was again passing by and saw that bird was very happy, feathers grew on his body, a small plant grew up in the desert area, a small pond of water was also there, the bird was singing and dancing cheerfully. The dove was astonished. The Angel had said that there would be no happiness for the bird for the next seven years. With this question in mind the dove went to visit the angel at heaven's gate.

The dove put forth his query to the Angel. The Angel replied, "yes it is true there was no happiness for the bird for seven years but because the bird was reciting the verse *"THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING!"* in every situation, his life changed.

When the bird fell down on the hot sand it said *"THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING!"*

When it could not fly it said, *"THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING!"*

When it was thirsty and there was no water around, it said, *"THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING!"*

Whatever the situation, the bird kept on repeating, *"THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING!"* and therefore the seven years got dissolved in seven days.

When I heard this story, I felt a tremendous shift in my way of feeling, thinking, accepting and viewing life

I adopted this verse in my life. WHATEVER the situation I faced I started reciting this verse *"THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING".* It helped me to shift my view from what I did not have to what I have in my life.

For instance; if my head aches I THANK GOD that the rest of my body is completely fine and healthy and I notice that the headache does not bother me at all.

In the same manner I started using this verse in my relationships (whether family, friends, neighbours, colleagues ) finances, social life, business and everything with which I can relate. I shared this story with everyone I came in touch with and it brought a great shift in their behaviour too.

This simple verse really had a deep impact on my life, I started feeling how blessed I am, how happy I am, how good life is.

The purpose of sharing this message is to make all of us aware of how powerful the *“ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE”* is. It can reshape our lives...!!!

Lets recite this verse continuously to experience the shift in our life.

So be grateful, and see the change in your attitude.

_*Be humble, and you will never stumble!*_

*...REMEMBER! "THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING!"*

You are moved by people's words. Someone says something and then you go mad! You lose yourself. They have just uttered some words, why were you so shaken by somebody's words?
Someone says; "Oh, I love you so much". Then also you are gone; you are sold out for their words. Someone says; "Oh, I dislike you". You are so much into their words.
If you could just detach your connection with others words. "Being a football of others opinion" - it is just mentioned once in the course, but it is so deep. It's a lifetime's work to work on it. See, the Art of Living course is not just three days - we have done it and forget about it. It's the whole essence of life; you have to rub it every day over and over, again and again in your life. It makes you conscious and aware of the principles every day, every minute of your life! Are you accepting every situation? Are you being a football of others' opinions?
These are simple sutras, simple sentences. Don't take them lightly. If you take them lightly, you will be drowning. Take these words into your heart, not just to the head.

Now this book has become my bedtime ritual…
A quiet return to truth, to self, to stillness.

With every page, I come back to reality—
softly letting go of what was never mine to carry. ✨📖

Releasing… healing… becoming lighter, one night at a time. 💫

*EGO IS ONLY AN ATOM*

The "I" or ego in you is a tiny atom. If this atom is put with the body, the matter, it identifies with the matter. If this atom is put with the Being, the Infinite, it identifies with the Infinite.
When this atom, this ego, is associated with the material world, it becomes mundane. When it is associated with the spirit, it becomes Divine. It becomes shakti when associated with the Being, the Self. It becomes miserable when identified with the body.
You see, in a huge atomic reactor, it is just one tiny atom that is exploded. In the same way, in our whole body, there is just one little tiny atom of "I". And when this "I" explodes, that is when it becomes the light of the Self.
Usually we say, "I am miserable, " or "I am happy".
Shift this atom from identifying with the body and the conceptual world, to identifying with the Real World.
* # Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar*

3 STAGES OF SPIRITUAL PRACTICE.

Q:Gurudev, can you please tell us about the three stages in spiritual practice?

Sri.Sri:Yes, there are three stages in practice:

The first level, Anva Upaya, which includes pranayama, meditation, mantra chanting, exercises, and yoga.

The second level, Shakta Upaya. This is much more subtle; it is the stillness that you experience at the end of doing all these exercises; it is more internal.

There is very little that you do, in fact everything is happening. There is no doer there, nobody doing anything, yet, it is happening; you feel that Shakta Upaya, it is very subtle.

The third level, Shambava Upaya is a step beyond the Shakta Upaya; just recognition, just awareness. It suddenly dawns; you have no clue, you have no say in it, you can’t do anything about it.

You are walking, watching a sun set, suddenly, something happens, something opens up. You meet someone; suddenly, you feel some sense of elevation, joy.

Whether you are meditating, sleeping, or doing any work, suddenly an awareness, a wakefulness dawns in you. That is Shambhava Upaya; that happens with grace, blessings or love or something.

The first stage, Anva Upaya, is inevitable. The second stage, Shakta Upaya, is an obvious movement. The third stage, Shambhava Upaya, is a gift.
