'Everyone should be given the opportunity to contribute'
Edit Post
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar reached the ashram at 8:30 pm, and came straight for satsang at the Vishalakshi Mantap. He just returned from Velanganni, a hamlet in Tamil Nadu and shared his experience of addressing 1,000 Roman Catholic priests of the Indian Priests Congress. (The address is available on the wisdom blog.)Then, a little girl stood up and told Sri Sri that there was no Art of Living center at her hometown, because of which programs were not being conducted. After saying this, she started crying.He assured her that a center would come up. The girl's mother stood up and said, “With whatever, we have we want to buy a plot on which we can construct an Art of Living Center.”
He said, “You can’t be emotional and give everything you have, as I won’t accept it like that. Many people should contribute a little to have the center. Many people in the past also said this. At first, when I went to Canada when there was no center there, a man came to me and said, “Sri Sri, my whole life has been transformed. I have $15000 and I want to put all this money and make an Art of Living Center.’ I refused him and said, “I am not in a hurry to have the Art of Living Center. If you insist, you can contribute $1000 and if you still want to contribute more, you can give $2000 but not more than that. Everyone should be given the opportunity to contribute.”
He said that the Divine's job was to take care of His devotees' needs.
“That which you cannot express is Love.That which you cannot reject/renounce is Beauty.
That which you cannot avoid is the Truth.”

Guruji advises not to take decisions with emotions. He does not bother loss of revenue to His foundation. He bothers only on the well being of His followers. This shows He is real Guru.
Reverend Guru ji
Or His secretary
Nasmaskaar !
Today in a telecast in Sankkar channel the Guru ji has said that
“ In the month of August the couple should not stay together”
to prove one of His point .
The month of August coincides with Shravan – the most sought for month in romance.
I would like to know the reference of treatise / scripture / Granth / canonical book which refers to the same. Please quote extensively.
Was it is a slip of tongue or by way of saying.
I am involved in deep study of Hindu / Indian mythology & has written a book titled “ Hindu Electional Astrology” among other books . May log on to
