Monsoon Special YES!+ for students of Punjabi Univ Patiala

The course with about 200 participants was on roll from right from the beginning. The volunteers had publicized it as a monsoon special course and the rain gods obliged!! Showers welcomed beginning of the course and then it became a regular feature during course hours daily. Sunday, as the session was about to end, it started pouring heavily. A slight hint of rain dance and next moment the whole group was in the venue grounds dancing, playing, splashing in the rain!!! These students have now started working for the next big course scheduled from 27-30 August in Patiala city!!

YES!+ in Chandigarh from 10 Sep ! The last at current fee !

Dear All,

Jai Gurudeva!

After the grand success of the last course, volunteers are again totally charged up, working for the next course! This course again is constrained by the venue size. The venue will accomodate no more than 200 people. You dont want to miss out on your friends or enemies doing this course! Do your bit once again. Earn seva points. You know anytime you get someone to do the course you have opened up a pipeline of good karma accumulated thru royalty earned everytime that person does Sudarshan kriya, goes for advance course, applies knowledge point or if you are supper lucky, he/she becomes an Art of Living teacher! You have no idea who will end up going how far! So send people for the course. No excuse is good enough for anyone to miss or postpone the course. Everything else one is doing on the planet is so very temporary. What you do and get on the course is not only for this lifetime, but all the lifetimes to come. You have to have this firm conviction about this extremely precious knowledge! So go out and make people lucky! 7 days of the course fulfills the individual’s purpose for being on the planet as a human being this lifetime. And we never know who is going to last how long. ( No one comes fitted with Amaron batteries. And even they die out :-)) !

contact smriti 9876577183/ Mehak 9815491475 for registrations!

With increases in hall rents and other costs, the course fee for YES!+ courses increases to Rs 3000 all over the country after navratris. People will be able to register at Rs 2000 , 2 weeks prior to the course date. Rs 1500 will be gone.

Course dates: 10-16 Sep, 2008

Timings: 5 pm to 9:30 pm everday. Sunday Full day. 9 am to 9 pm.

Venue: Saint Kabir School, Sector 26, Chandigarh (To be confirmed).

Registrations on the last 2 days i.e. 9/10 Sep will be strictly at Rs 2500. So all the volunteers if you are holding any registrations please submit them with the Registrations collections co-ordinator for this course i.e. Smriti. We want to use the last 2 days working on the venue and all arrangements for the participants getting the best experience rather than running around collecting registrations. Registrations on the spot will be taken at Rs 6000 only as per YES!+ guidelines.

Love

Jaigurudeva!

More about the Thapar course

A vast majority of the students on the course were 1st year freshers! Also there were 8 students from Government Medical College and a few from other colleges. GMC students will now be pioneering YES!+ organising at their college. This would spread to other medical colleges in the state as well. This course was the first time that Thapar volunteers had a venue outside the campus. And the venue was split into two halls and two corridors for 200 people. During surya namaskars and sudarshan kriya, repeating students and volunteers used to occupy one of the corridors. And new students used to settle themselves in the other three regions in turns ! All of them were into total masti right from day one! At the same time they all were very sharp and picked up all the learnings effortlessly.  On the 5th day of the course I went to the 1st year batch hostel and we played a YES!+ game past midnight! a very typical engineering college hostel environment. The night after the course we ( I and some of the volunteers) also watched one of the episodes of Planet Earth, a set of 5 DVDs on the planet made by BBC. Planet Earth is awesome. Its a must watch. a 6-Star for sure!!! We watched it using a projector in my guest room 1 of H-hostel! You must watch it on a big screen using a powerful projector and not merely on your laptop!

Yesterday I came back to chandigarh. I will be spending the week in the city at P.U.
