As narrated by Kriyaban Shri Hrishikesh Ambaye:
A highly enchanting and memorable 5 days of eternal bliss,The Internationally acclaimed “Kriya Yoga Gurukul” from 4thmay-8th may.15 at Mahatma Gandhi Vidya Mandir Bandra east,just concluded with lots of special memories and lifetime of takeaways for each of the lucky participant.
The Kriyayoga Gurukul,is an internationally acclaimed super hit workshop,conducted by “His Holiness Sadguru Yogiraj Sri Sri Mangeshda”, with his wealth of the pious teachings of Kriyayoga, in a gurukul ambience, for the benefit of the younger generation, to cope up with today’s fast paced lifes,and pressure from a highly competitive environment in the society.The workshop was aptly divided into 3 parts,1) Personality Development. 2) Arts and Craft 3) Dance for health and fitness.
With these 3 key areas being developed in an individual, it gives the participants, a clear advantage above the others.
Sadguruji was covering a wide range of topics in detail,with a spiritual base and lots of fun and frolic, to make the learning easy and adaptable. Sadguruji started the workshop with a powerful speech addressing the large gathering of parents and children together, who were waiting with baited breathe, to hear the pearls of wisdom from Sadguruji. After stressing upon the significance for creating this powerful workshop, and the need for such value workshop, Sadguruji set the tone right, with a powerful punchline,for the next 5 days “ YES I CAN,YES WE CAN”, it was more like a war cry, that was chanted loudly by each of the participant,everyday before and after the workshop, to reaffirm the self belief thought process for every participant. Sadguruji covered a whole host of topics ranging from,Public speaking, thought patterns,needs& wants, developing& nurturing talents,music,skits, daily quiz for developing the knowledge quotient, powerful techniques to enhance concentration, and stay focused,ward of distractions etc,in the arts and craft segment,Sadguruji,taught various subjects like painting,colouring,sketching, clay models, creating useful items from waste paper, crafts, photography and much much more, the participants were dumbstruck to see, the amount of things they learnt in 5 days in the kriya yoga gurukul.At the end of the 5th day,each of the participant saw a distinct change in their personality and their belief system.They were thrilled to see a huge transformation in themselves, due to the pious learnings from Sadguruji.
The dance for health and fitness was another masterpiece from Sadguruji, where he taught dance moves to participants, to ensure that they are burning maximum calories and in turn they charge their energy levels,and increase their fitness and stay in shape,which in turn makes them feel good about themselves and let go of all the stress. Sadguruji choreographed, some amazing foot tapping numbers, from a wider Genre of songs, folk, traditional and bollywood, with a difference,he made people who have 2 left feet while dancing, dance with such amazing rhythm and grace that, it was indeed hard to believe, that these people have never danced in their lives. There were some honest confessions from some participants, who admitted that ,they have never danced before in their lives, and had stage fright.
But at the end of it all, every participant affirmed in chorus that, this was indeed the bestest 5 days of their lives, and everyone, wished if this workshop would continue endlessly.
Sadguruji,left a lasting impression in the hearts of every participants, by spreading abundance of happiness, on all 5 days, each day at the end of each workshop, Sadguruji used to select a best participant for the day, and give a special prize, to motivate the participants to bring out the best in them, and encourage active participation, and cultivate Group Dynamics amongst the participants.
All this was great fun to watch, and this was the best form of experiential learning that a participant could get, with deeply embedded values, for a complete, holistic & enriching life.
The last day discussion, between parents and their children, being led by Sadguruji, brought about new and improved understanding between the families, further strengthening their bond.
This was the best Summer gift for the Lucky participants of the 1st Maiden Kriya Yoga Gurukul,workshop, in India being conducted by Sadguruji,and it was also thoroughly enjoyed by each and every assistants who got to learn another new leaf in their lives.
