Ever since I did the YES+ course, I have been advertising it to people. All these days I have been telling that it is a fun course and everybody should experience it once. Over time this rhetoric has grown stale, I decided to compile a list of what I liked about the course. Here is the top 10 list, not in any order though.
1. Seva - Not that I am a veteran in Art of Living courses but I do know a lot about courses offered and I think this is the only non residential course which has seva(service) aspect built in the course.
2. Designed by Bawa – If you do not who he is, here is his blog. He is one of my favorite teachers and one of the few teachers who respond to emails and queries on a regular basis.
3. Coolest teachers in town – The course is taught by the coolest teachers in town, ask any YES+ participant and they will vouch for me.
4. Games – If you thought other courses had games, do the YES+ to know the difference
5. Wisdom through practical – The course points are taught as practical than theory
6. No intellectual discussions – For someone like me who really cannot comprehend Yoga Vasistha or similar ones, but would like to get practical tips to make the existing life better, here is the course for you.
7. Food – There is never a scarcity of food in any Art of Living course and the food is usually catered by volunteers who aren’t doing the course. Here in this course it is different.
8. Awareness about meat eating – Apart from Rajima’s part-1 course, this is one of the few courses that attempts to raise awareness about impact of meat eating on the planet.
9. Yes party at the end – The last day is truly graduation day
10. Making new friends – The processes in the course are different than other courses and we bonded way more during this course than others
Keep in mind I am have not included the usual goodies of Sudarshana Kriya and meditations.
