Have you ever heard about "Art of Living"?
I heard about the term "Art of Living" - a lot many times back in India. I even looked for Art of living classes, when I just came to US, as I wanted to explore and know more about it. But to my distress, there were none found in Florida. Yesterday, when both, Amit and I went to the Hindu temple, I saw the poster of "Art of Living" session, and got really interested and went ahead to participate in it.
What I gathered was...
Art of Living is a +ve way of living. Yoga, meditation, breathing, pranayamas and knowledge by Sri Ravi Shankar are taught at the Art of Living classes. They have various courses/programs and levels, under each which they try to make you a better human being. There were couple of discussions between participants and the swami ji who was preaching in the session and to my surprise, there were couple of arguments too. The topics/discussion was based on- meditation, yoga, how to attain happiness, how to deal with expectations, how to overcome stress, anger and fear. And everything boiled down to just one solution- "Be happy" and "Keep Smiling".
Well, it is a very debatable topic, so I won't discuss much about it. On my way back from temple, both Amit and I had a long discussion about all these things and it is quite intimidating to dig through all these various approaches people have started following recently to attain moksha and happiness....

Happiness is not a feeling - something to be pursued. Happiness is a decision, and this is the power of happiness. When you decide to be happy - you can be happy in any circumstance; any place. May God bless you, indeed.
Thanks Hepzibah, for taking out time to read my post and sharing such a wonderful thought. In some ways, it is true whatever you mentioned. However, with the given challenges in today's world, do you think it is achievable? I have hardly seen any individual being happy 24/7. It sure would be an ideal situation, where people start following the path of being happy forever. It would make this world such a better place!
