# 08 Ashram Art of Living

Ashram Art of Living:First jogging tour in India. But even this was a tiny bit crazy. My running track was anywhere between virtual and true reality. Between TechVillages, Slums and crowded streets you can’t even cross.

After that  I went for a day visit to the Ashram Art of Living:

Surrounded by a green landscape and beautiful flowers, this peaceful ashram conducts courses in Yoga, vedic mathematics and Vasthu Shasthra. It was built and created by Sri Ravi Shankar to extend his preaching on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels and includes an professional Ayurvedic center. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is well known guru all over the world and was even on this day on tour. But joint a guided meditation and had a funny sightseeing tour and photoshooting with Rukesh.

# Lessons Learned today:

If you’re climbing the ladder of life, you go rung by rung, one step at a time. Don’t look too far up, set your goals high but take one step at a time. Sometimes you don’t think you’re progressing until you step back and see how high you’ve really gone.

#07 Bangalore Startup scene

Bangalore startup scene:In Bangalore i went to a hack weekend event, where more than 30 young motivated „Hackers“ participated. Everyone could introduce their ideas. Afterwards we built groups to work on the strongest ideas. In the end of the weekend every group had the possibility to present their idea to invited investors, business people and successful startup leaders to collect feedback.

Bangalore is very popular and famous for its startup scene. Especially in tech projects. A lot of developers and IT specialists live in Bangalore – most of them working for the tech companies there.

And of course you find here in Bangalore an amount of coworking spaces, incubators and organizations, which help to cultivate and develope the Bangalore startup scene.

One organisator is https://www.facebook.com/groups/blrstartups, where i joint this inspiring weekend. Thanks to Rashmi Ranjan Padhy, by the way, for the great organisation. 🙂

Here some results of this great weekend:

# Lessons Learnt of today:

Set your goals high enough to inspire you and low enough to encourage you.

SET YOUR DREAMS HIGH

During our daily life, we find always obstacles on our way through life, which have to be eliminated or bypassed.
Thats why we should set our dreams high enough, to see still the vision we follow.
Because if you can’t  see the dreams anymore, you will loose yourself on your path and will stay at one of your obstacles.

#04: Osho Mediation Resort

Osho Mediation Resort:Osho was an Indian philosophy professor and later on a Guru for many people – specially in the west. His followers are also called Sanyassin.                                                                                                                                            He was a great speaker and teacher in meditation and found a way to explain the eastern philosophy to the western society.  He was killed in the 90s. Still today they offer different meditations from early morning to late evening. My mum was Sanyassin. So I was growing up with that stuff.          Thats why I had more than ever the feeling, like  I have to step in mums footstep and follow her way to understand where I am coming from, and how I adapt and understand it today in comparison to my earliest years in my childhood.

Task for the day: WHO AM I? I got this today from the others: I am an angel (my name), I am a strong independent person, I am a rebel, I am crazy (traveling alone).

# Lesson Learned today:

Indian is a country which might be poor, but its the richest country in spirituality. It concerns the highest value of consciousness. If you want to meet the country and learn, you have to go with open eyes and connect to the people.

BUILD BRIDGES INSTEAD OF WALLS

In our modern society its common that everybody has their own home.
But this has also a negative site: It isolate you from other people.
It seems to make you happy, but in the end you will feel lonely.
Start to build bridges, instead of walls.
Collaborate. Share.
And you will be more happy, love other people and feel more fulfilled.

SET YOUR DREAMS HIGH

Thats why we should set our dreams high enough to see the vision we follow. Because if you can’t  see the dreams anymore, you will loose yourself on your path and will stay at one of your obstacles.
