Description
Luminous drops of divine wisdom shower from the infinite firmament, epitomized by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and thus are born the Weekly Knowledge sheets! Like the prodigious Ganges flows benevolently from the cradle of the Himalayas to far flung thirsty lands, knowledge pours from the Master to yearning souls-knowledge that is deeply profound, yet so simple; knowledge that does not just remain in the intellect, but is beautifully and effortlessly integrated into daily life.
Week after week, amidst celebration, laughter and serenity, wisdom surges forth from the Maser on every subject conceivable to the human mind. Week after week, millions the world over, experience how the Weekly Knowledge was exactly what they needed to hear at that point in time-the perfect answer to a harbored question; the unmistakable feeling, Sri Sri wrote this just for me! This is the Ultimate Knowledge, Supreme wisdom, straight from the Source, Just for You, an intimate note from the Master to a sincere seeker.
