First YES+ in Abu Dhabi!

Wow, i am so happy writing these lines. We had a small but very cordial and fun first-ever YES+ course in Abu Dhabi. All the participants were working professionals and two Art of Living teachers also did their first YES+, one of them being my mom! The bonding that we are all experiencing right now is amazing, like a thread has strung all us different pearls into a link of love and joy.

Everyday threw up surprises, and we had passionate discussions on being Indian and on
 vegetarianism. We plan on playing cricket to start our first YES+ follow up here, and look forward to a bigger, more dhamaal course on Feb 10. 

Hatke happenings in the 
course, hmm...we had three dinner outings! One to Lebanese Mill, one to Pizza Hut, and after watching Meet your Meat, to the local vaishnavi-gujju restaurant. Bau sent his wishes and blessing too, and we may get a chance to speak to him today.

Personally, it was an emotional course as Abu Dhabi is where i grew up and it is always special to do seva in a place where you grew up with your parents. The bonus is your parent deciding to join the course...:)

Great!!!! Yesterday had been to the satsang where the topic of terorrism popped up and guruji's answer was that we have to take spirituality forward to every nook and corner of this world. I'am amazed to know that the first YES+ course in Abu Dhabi was super hit.

Incredible…!! Awesom!!
We are so fortunate that Abhishek came here in AbuDhabi & our wish got fulfilled in such a amazing way …….we are really special!! In just 3-4 days of time we have organized this course and it was a Sheer Blast!!
It was my privilege to become a part of 1st YES + in Abu Dhabi as well as to be a volunteer.
Everyday course would go till 11-12PM (next day morning office) but we never felt tired, we were so energized, so enthusiastic by doing Sun salutation and by being in the company of such elegant knowledge. (Our Teacher)
So many fantastic games and very astonishing processes in Yes + it was Real Dhammal!!

Now on 10th February we will rock again…….
Believe me it was wonderful Experience!! rather than I am Yes! course teacher, I enjoyed it a lot!!
If u haven’t yet experienced it please don’t miss the chance to enjoy the journey of Joy and Wisdom...

Catch u soon on 10th Feb…09 JGD!!
