Satsang

ok so i went to the ashram ( the international art of living centre) yesterday . It was AMAZING. Guruji( His Holiness Sri Sri Ravishankarji) is there these days . It was my first one for 2009 . Believe me i couldnt have asked for anything better than to start the new year soaked in a state of bliss.Belive me even tough i reached a bit late , the singing in VM was still going on and when Guruji started to speak , it was the most amazing thing and deep knowledge.Last evening was a q n a session and guruji spoke on various topics from spirituality and materialism to the effect of planets and the role of leadership and life in general.
I cant quote verbatim but ill put down in short points what was spoken:
1. The world has enough for everyonee's needs but not for everyone's greed
2. Spirituality and Meaterialism can coexist
3.The planets( grahas ) do have effects but if one chants the mahahmantra of Om Namah Shivaya , the negative effects gets balanced out
4. Some one asked a really silly question on Karma and choice so Guruji answered:asking the question is ur karma, u being in the VM is also ur good karma but asnsswering the question is not my karma but my free choice.
5. Sadhna Seva Satsang.
