The current coronavirus pandemic in the world has pushed man into a corner of his physical and mental space like never before. It forces us to rethink about the purpose of life and living and makes us introspect. The challenges of the past seem miniscule compared to the existential crisis we face today as individuals and as a global community.
To say man has been selfish and short-sighted in dealing with mother earth won’t be an exaggeration. In our quest for material gain we have lost sight of our role in the universe and failed to understand its wonderful complexity. We have equated technological advancement and professional triumphs as barometers to measure success in life. This lack of an internal compass has made us victims of our own desires. This stems from an incomplete understanding of our inner self.
The time has come to redirect our physical, mental and spiritual assets in one direction and make the change mother nature expects from us. How can we change old habits, attitudes, thoughts, lifestyles and make better choices both as individuals and as part of the human race as a whole? How can we as humans gain peace, prosperity and welfare for ourselves and live in harmony with all that inhabit the earth with us?
Vedantic texts teach us that fundamentals of life and living do not change. However, socio-cultural values and challenges vary with every generation. A renewed understanding of these fundamentals help resolve these challenges as times change.
UNLEARN LIVING is a prism that presents an alternative approach to living life. It is a program based on the assimilation of knowledge derived from ancient Vedic texts and modern life-serving books. Its sole purpose is the practical application of that knowledge in our rapidly changing technology-driven world.
The UNLEARN LIVING Program will also help you rediscover yourself and live life to the fullest extent. Get practical answers to eternal questions like ‘Who am I?’ ‘What is my purpose in this life?’ 'Why is my life complicated?'. The Program guides you in analysing your current value system, changing habits and behaviour patterns and making your life foundation stronger.
While learning and practising the techniques taught in the program you will experience increased confidence and transform into a person with clear direction and positive attitude.
I have been fortunate to be part of this course that has been created and taught by Mr. Kalavar since July '19. I apply learnings through this course in my everyday life, in particular at my work. As a busy working professional, it has benefited me tremendously to practice spirituality in my day to day. As a previous corporate professional himself, Mr. Kalavar has a unique approach to work with our cohort and provide a balanced perspective when we approach him with either personal and/or professional related questions. I highly recommend anyone who is looking to find a balance to go through this course.
This course is about how you navigate day to day life life with purpose and meaning. Mr Kalavar is an incredible teacher. He has studied spirituality for 50 years and we are blessed to have this opportunity to learn from his experiences and understanding of spirituality. Each session we understand a little more about life. The content is carefully selected into various levels and helps us grasp the concepts and keep getting better. This is really a unique opportunity to learn a very relevant (but often ignored) topic from an incredible teacher.
I have benefited immensely from this program conducted by Kalavar Sir. Before this study I was unaware that there were two entities within me - God and my ego. I can now immediately identify my ego when it raises its ugly head and then shift to God space. Today, I do not have to seek outside help when I have any problem because my guide, the Holy spirit is within me.
Ever since there was consistent practice in chakra cleaning, physical exercises along with the theory taught in the program and meditation in my schedule, my thought process, attitude towards the life and my approach to dealing things in life has changed dramatically. My heartfelt gratitude towards my guru Kalavarji because of whom I have held on to the practice and leading a joyous, stress free life.
This study has made me realise that two spaces are residing within me, Ego Self & God Self. It has helped me tremendously in my endeavour to remove these layers of Ego Self and to reach my true God Self. It has taught me to look at positivity in every crisis and to look at problems of life as opportunities to evolve and emerge stronger than before.
It was very hard to find words for all my feelings and hence hope the words do justice to the feelings.
I was introduced to Sir’s class when I was 13yrs old. I went regularly and was always amazed how Sir was able to explain such deep concepts to us in simple language, providing us with examples that were age appropriate, making it easy to understand. I soon found myself asking sir questions from my life about the problems I was facing and the difficulties in resolving emotional conflicts.
Sir always sat down with me and showed me how to connect what we were studying to what I was experiencing. This soon became a norm in life and connecting study to experience became a habit. Sir was always there, anytime on a phone call and if I felt like seeing him, he always made time and helped me by providing me with a direction.
8 years later came a time when all the study was put to test. My mother passed away in a road accident. I felt like the world suddenly collapsed. At the same time I felt as if the Lord had been preparing me for such a day. Because of the study, affiliation with Sir and experiencing in between a part of me felt very fortunate - that unlike most people I was blessed with a new way of thinking and understanding and having faith in the macro as sir called it - that everything happens for a reason... There are no coincidences in life and even though this horrible unimaginable loss came my way. I knew it was a part of HIS plan and I had a role to play and I was able to focus my energies towards it.
Hence I can't say that my life was altered by the class but I can say that it prepared me, laid down my foundation to face all challenges in my life and to see opportunities vs problems, faith vs mistrust, hope vs despair and know that the Lord is always there and I owe my whole life to this single blessing -the day Sir entered my life and introduced me to this whole subject.!!!!
Today I am 37 yrs. old, and even now each and every single concept springs to my mind with Sir's examples when a challenge appears and I feel immense gratitude for all the experiences that came my way.
Thank you Sir for everything... And 'everything' seems to be a very small word for the gratitude I feel for you to help me connect with the Lord and the Lord for blessing my life!
Loads of love Sir,
Urmi
