Hahaha just repeating something ad nauseam doesn’t make it the truth. Saying there is no financial accountability just shows you have really not done your homework.
Vyakti Vikas Kendra, India is a registered trust and all the accounts are audited and approved by the relevant government agencies. So of course every paisa is accounted for.
And you really can’t deny the joy and relief it has brought to so many individuals around the planet. I for sure can talk about myself and the thousands of testimonials that I have heard and seen.

——FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY??? —–
Look at any AOL token charitable project and tell whether the money is coming from Bangalore or from the funds raised by the volunteers. Whether it is
1. Free Tsunami courses or
2. Prison courses or
3. Clean Delhi or
4. Blood donation camps, or
any other project, no money ever comes from Bangalore. Is it not reasonable to ask where does the money collected from the course fee go?

You cannot use some good work done by AOL to justify all the wrongdoing. The Taliban is helping people in floods, does not mean it is kosher

Why is there no financial accountability or transparency in AOL? Don’t you think it’s strange that such a large and rich organization operates without financial accountability? Don’t you think that as a charity receiving crores of public money, the onus is on them to establish their credentials as an honest charity – instead of DEMANDING PEOPLE TO TRUST THEM BLINDLY?

There is nothing wrong in doing a business and hence AOL should drop the FACADE OF CHARITABLE STATUS and honestly PAY THE TAXES applicable to a business.

Obviously the phrase “Stand up to criticism” seems to have escaped your attention.
It is the art of living not the art of leaving or running away, my dear professor.

Q: How do I handle criticism?
Sri Sri: When someone criticises you, they are taking a risk. Who wants to take the risk of making enemies! When they are doing that, you appreciate them. Stand up to criticism. Also have the courage to criticise for their improvement. But if someone is criticising you out of jealousy, you smile, it is their problem.

So, Swamiji, either you have to appreciate anti-AOL blog or just smile and do you kriya.
Why need to open a counter blog?
Either you are wrong or your master is lying.

Thanks Swamiji,

I can only sympathize and pray for them….. I hope this is just a phase they are going through and soon come out of it wiser and …………

What Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Art Of Living is the world knows and fortunately enough experiencing all the time.

Bravo swamiji! Way to go! What a wonder-full response again!

Kashi dear,

Looks like this page is broken in chrome-no links on the right and all the negative blog info is coming below swamijis responses

It is a great idea to have this a link to the negative information in this blog for aol members. I think that most of the hits in the other blog are from aol people only-why give that blog unnecessary hits.

Should we do a dedicated one like answeringaolblogs.blogspot.com or something like that?

Love and JGD

Before doing Art of Living Course in 2003..I being a Chartered Accountant….always considered all..Saints and holy personalities…as simple Businesmen…and even..used to talk and enjoy all rubbish about…all
Saintly-personalities on this Globe….
But as it has happened with….MILLIONS….just after doing PART-1 of AOL…and Having Darshan of Guruji.in Oct 2003.(
Pl note..on my first Face to Face with Guruji…I was totally aversion to touch HIS FEET)…
The WHOLE COURSE OF MY LIFE just took an U-TURN….
….
Really HE IS A MASTER……
and now AS AN ART OF LIVING -TEACHER when I deliver Art of Living PART-1 and Sri Sri Yoga
Courses…at various places..covering people from all walks of life..including..Doctors,Teachers, Housewives,Engineers, CAs, MBA,…like professionals…Village Folks..and to mention specifically..
Culprits and undertrials at Jaipur Central Jail….
the Solace …and Bliss..I arrive at my HEART…..is
nothing but The Best BOON of Life….BLESSED by SRI SRI……..

So i m just compassionate to the people who…r still…in search…of THIS BLISSS…..
and are spitting venom…… where they should infact come with GARLANDS and Flowers..
May God Bless..them all….tooo…

Regards to Swami Sadjyotha and Arundati who sent this link on my email… i hav been with AoL for more than a decade…and hav seen organization blooming and self blosoming… i hav also spent 3 days with Guruji in helsinki and my best half madhuri had cooked for him, eitherway for me he is not an individual but an institution, a multi-tasking master, who knows wot our requirements are..as Swamiji rightly puts it he has shown us the human aspect in ourselves, made us blossom beyond our individual consciousness, he has made me handle situations of varied sorts, be it in rural or urban areas, or even with the international communities.

Any brickbats or muck slinging will not help the degenereted individuals, and neither will it create an dent in the organisation, be it Agni Shridhar or Corrupt Jurno who prospers with yellow mag Nakeeran – we all know how they swindled monies in Late Rajkumars Kidnap Case by a HONEST THIEF Veerappan … they are just showing the inner mindset of themselves, AoL will grow in the hearts of the people no matter what the people with bad karmas scheme..this happens to most of the people who did good for the humanity.. Gandhiji was shot by a cross dressing schizophernia who was aided by people who distort spirituality for their own profit…so was Shirdi Saibaba..even today its happening… so most of us who hav been involved in AoL since long can vouch for the vision of MY GURUJI which goes beyond mere individual fancies.

Nevertheless, Swami Sadjyotah who is a refined instrument of divine (MY GURU)… has given us more strength thru this blog of us. It has only made us stronger, though our inner self was taking a little torture wen we were triggered by a stray mind askin about all sorts of non-issues… though many of us felt..its removing our MASS BAD KARMAS…its nice to notice that our MASS KARMAS are being removed by disgruntled people within and outside the so called AoL circles, as our master puts it… there is no difference for him between AoLites and the ones yet to become AoLites…

This blog has brought me more smiles…as we have all grown more closer..more stronger…more peaceful…ergo..lelts do our seva!
