From today's TRM in Dubai:

1. Gurudev, how to make participants come more regularly for follow ups

G: Make your follow ups more interesting and juicy. Don't just make the participants do Bhastrika and kriya. Even God will get bored if you repeat the songs everytime 

- Make food with participants. You may ask them to bring some salads or some ingredients and make food together 

- In Indonesia they experimented with 1 week follow up and 1 week seva. Double the people used to come for Seva vs Follow ups 

- Make the participants speak rather than just you speaking. People love it when you make them share. Make them sit next to you for sharing. They can share their experiences, or how they have assimilated the knowledge in their life

2. Gurudev many Art of Living teachers are getting into other paths like Access Bars, Hypnosis and other alternate healing. Is it ok for Art of Living teachers to practicr alternate healing modalities 

G: If you as a teacher go around searching, why will people come to learn from you. Its like you own a supermarket, but you are going around looking for grocery. Art of Living path is like a PhD. After doing PhD why do you want to do 10+2. I have already offered alternate healings like CST, Marma etc. which you may learn. 3. Gurudev when we have a Guru like you, is it necessary to read scriptures like Bhagwad Gita, or should we be in the state of devotion like Trotakachatya or the gopis

G: The fact that you want to know the answer to this question means you have the thirst for knowledge. Knowledge is equally important. That's why I have spoken so much on Ashtavakra Gita, Narad Bhakti sutras etc. Else why would I have spoken on those? 

4. When we remember you, do our prayers reach you. Or is that privilege available to only senior teachers

G- what do you think? (followed by laughter). See from your own experience. Don't your prayers reach me?
