Followers witnessed a rare oracle session of 20 devtas, who were in Kullu for the AOL session. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar got the blessings of devtas and said, “Oracles are not about myths, but they are scientific, and it is a deep topic of research.â€
As many, as 6000 people attended the spiritual Shivir. Over 900 people were a part of the advanced state chapter of AOL. The bhajans sung by Hema Sardesai, who is also an AOL follower made the spiritual session all the more unforgettable.
For Khullar family based in Baragrah, it was a blessing when Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, accompanied by his younger sister Bhanudidi and Hema Sardesai, and 150 others followers made way to their farmhouse to enjoy the beauty of the valley of gods. The spiritual guru said, “I have not seen a more beautiful view of snow peaks and gliding valley than this.â€
Khullars are not the only ones who have been attracted to AOL; hundred others have been a part of these spiritual sessions. AOL’s state coordinator, Bhawani Singh Thakur said, “AOL was not known much in Kullu, but now over 8000 people have attended the Dhayan shivir and have become its practitioners.†Vastrika, Sudrashan Kriya and breathing exercises that are a part of the session de-stress the pent-up feelings and emotions, and lend positive energy to the mind and body.
