Just coming back from a refresher program of 100 odd people in a remote village area, 45 kms from Jagdalpur district. What an experience, I was amazed to see the reach of Art of Living to these very remote villages of Bastar Tribal areas. Every member of this particular village named tallur have attended the Art of Living program and they practice Sudarshan Kriya. Most of the male member of tribal families drink their local wine (which they make in their homes from a local flower) everyday some actually drink three times a day as well :-). This particular village people hardly consume alcohol. They have an Art of Living meditation hall, in which I conducted the program today. Local villagers are giving a new name this village, guess what, the new name name is Sri Sri Gulabi Nagar (as every home of the village is going to be painted in pink colour in next few months).
Their simplicity (bholapan), devotion and participation was simply inspiring. Going into meditation is effortless for these people. They do daily evening satsangs in near by 20 villages. I'll post some pictures in my next posting. Its very easy for them to merge into the singing. They start swaying and dancing from the first bhajan itself.
These tribal villages are simply beautiful, they homes (mostly made of mud, grass and bamboo) are unbelievably clean. They really maintain their homes, the fencing of their gardens, gobiri (cows dunk used for layering the floor), everything very neatly organized. Villages are generally very small in size (500-1000 people) and there are tons and tons of lush green forest. So water may be red in color (undrinkable) but lots and lots of high prana, high oxygen, clean and fresh supply of air everywhere.
With Love,
Anurag
