Some Feedback from past Hadayoli Joyshops

"Happiest Evening, Nithya! Today, I discovered so many beautiful things and learned to love things and people the way they are and lots more. Some people have the amazing power to walk with you for few moments and make your life divine blessing. You did it and its truly magic and so it is.... Lots of love and Prayers." ~ Amita.

"Nithya Shanti himself was energetic, happy and positive. He spread these qualities in the group. He preached whatever he practiced. Love-laugh-learn is really very important message we got today. Thank you very much. I now say I am the happiest person today. I understood the meaning of gratitude. I got the flavour of 'BE LOVING.' I am sure, through practicing meditation I will get its real flavour." ~ D. Daswani

"It is like getting connected to oneself and to the world simultaneously. We all forget to apply our hearts to our lives. I lived too dry but now I think I love everyone and everything around me I have transformed into "Human Being Happy."" ~ Abhijeet

"The way we were brought up, everything that was imbibed in us in childhood-especially for girls was designed to make us very docile, obedient - termed as selfless persons. In reality I and may be many girls of my generation grew into very inhibited, unreal persons. It has been my struggle throughout my life to become a free (less inhibited) real person who could speak her own mind, to reach the uninhibited innocence of a child within me and to be able not to be ashamed of it. Everything I have done in my life is a journey in that direction, progressing sometimes and also retreating very often. With you and your programme for the first time I felt assured that there would not be many occasions when I see myself retreating." ~ Shubangana

"The stories we heard made understanding deeper ideas simpler. The workshop did not talk about abstract ideas, it was a joyshop about ideas we can apply and have fun applying them." ~ Poonam

HE draws the attention of the participants with a haunting sound produced by a thick metal cup. The stick that strikes the rim of the cup is taken round and round letting the sound to continue and taper off. Nithya Shanti is the master in white, teaching people how to make today the happiest day of their life at what he calls the Hadayoli Joyshop.

Blending spirituality, emotional wellbeing and physical fitness, Nithya Shanti brings in his Buddhist tradition from his six-year life as a forest monk. An MBA from XLRI, Jamshedpur, he opted out of corporate life and is now sharing his experience of "is-dom,". He has just two words to help take people to enlightenment and that is "Be Loving."

Whatever our thoughts, words and actions, the Universe responds with an "And so it is." This makes our thoughts a reality. His workshop focuses on how to create a loving and joyous reality around us. When we live consciously, we begin to balance the physical, energy, emotional, intellectual, spiritual and social dimensions of life. We learn to live in harmony with the natural principles of the Universe. This gives us the strength, clarity and energy to realise the purpose of our life, he says. Physically it means to create a sense of lightness, physical freshness and alertness, flexibility and stamina, energetically to have abundant energy and enjoy a high level of activity, emotionally to be expressive and open, intellectually to provide clarity and depth of thinking, spiritually to have a strong sense of values based on love and compassion for oneself and others and socially to be financially independent, with a healthy relationship with family and community. He teaches the practice of a five-minute miracle that helps the individual to focus positive energy toward any specific outcome with relationships or situations. He draws four sublime attitudes called the Brahma Viharas which are also mentioned by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutra: Metta (Maitri) – loving friendliness to all, Karuna – compassion to all, Mudita – joy in another's accomplishments and Upekka (Upeksha) – equanimity in accepting both loss and gain, praise and blame, success and failure with detachment.
