lifelifelifelife thru WISDOM In just a short while, the first quarter of the year has passed by, filled with many happy moments for all of

us. We have all gone through many events in this short time, some of them good, some of them not so good.

The same thing which is good for one person may not be as good for another person. It is all in the way at

how we look at things. Our perception of ourselves and our surroundings is what matters, it is what

makes us happy. The Life Coaching in this edition helps us realize our own perspective of how we look at

the beautiful world around us. We hope each and every one of us are able to see the beautiful blessings

that we have in every single thing we go through in Life.

“There are a lot of Happiness happening in the

world. Choose to focus on the Happiness. Be the

seed of change in the World”. -Guruji-

7C Life: The 2015 Charter

Starting 2015, with Divine guidance, we now emphasize more on the celebrations of Life from various per-

spectives. As enhancing the value of Life that we already have is the core teaching of 7C, it only makes sense

that we focus on Life.

7Chakram is now known as a

“Life Realization Centre”,

a first of its kind in the world.

The focus of all activities will be on the objectives to be achieved from the events. The events that are

lined up for 2015 are as follows:

Life Coaching and Meditation sessions These are weekly meditation sessions conducted every Thursdays and Sundays. The Life coaching sessions help in under-standing current challenges in Life and learning simple steps to overcome it easily.

Body-Life Alignment & Rejuvenation sessions These are weekly yoga sessions conducted every Wednesdays and Saturdays, with more emphasis placed on rejuvenating the body from within.

Life-Universe Alignment These sessions are great energy-filled sessions that will invoke the universal energy vibrations which has the ability to bal-ance our aura and inner energies. There are 6 such sessions planned throughout 2015.

Gratitude of Life A unique session conducted on the shores of Port Dickson during Full moon. It gives us the opportunity to express our gratitude to Life and intentions to The Great Divine. We have planned 6 sessions throughout the year.

LETs Release This is a Life Emotional Traumas releasing session. Deep rooted traumas that inhibit our progress will be released, unleashing our inner strength. It also opens up our ability to adapt to society and see Life with a new beautiful perspec-tive. We hope you will join us for any one of the 7 sessions planned.

Life Realization Retreat We have planned 4 Life Realization retreats in 2015. A rare opportunity to discover amazing truth and abilities locked within oneself. Inner journey sessions should not be missed.

Celebrations of Life sessions In our multi-cultural multi-religious society, we come across many different practices in the way we pray. “Celebrations of Life” sessions allow us to understand Divinity and create an opportunity for us to celebrate Them with love and grati-tude.

Life-Community Programs These programs provide us a chance to connect and give back to the Community by sharing celebrations of Life with the younger and older generations. Please do not miss our quarterly newsletter “Life thru Wisdom” to be updated on the events. We have started

registration for volunteers for our Life Community programs. Bring your family and friends to join us in these

blessed and fun-filled activities.

Adi Rudhra Homa

This auspicious homa ceremony was conducted over 12 days in January 2015 at the Penusila Kshetram in

Andra Pradesh, India. The Adi Rudra Homa is the highest form of worship to Lord Shiva and involves the

chanting of the Japanga Rudhra, chanted specifically by 121 vedic priests. The Homa was dedicated for the

peace and prosperity of all beings in the world.

The Adi Rudhra Homa attracted participants from all parts of the world. It was also attended by Swami

Guru Sri Kriyathasa Sekar and a few members from 7C Life. Here are some pictures of the event that we

would like to share with all our beloved members:

Life-Spiritual Exploration The 2015 Life-Spiritual Exploration Tour took us to India from February 13 to 22. Graced by Swami Guru Sri Kriyathasa Sekar, fourteen 7C Life members were blessed to travel with Him. Beginning in Kochin, we travelled through Mysore and Thirupati to Chennai. We were blessed to be able to visit many temples and holy places such as the Kodangallur Bagavathi tem-ple, Chotanikara Bagavathi temple, Guruvayoor, Chamundeswari temple, Tiruchanoor and Tirupati. We even had the opportunity to join the festivities of a village temple in Kochin. It was an exciting trip with lots of time for us to absorb the Divine teachings and energies, peppered with words of wisdom from the discourses given by Guruji. Many of us were blessed with personal insights on who we are and on our journey in Life. It was indeed a trip filled with immense blessings of the Divine. We even had the opportunity to attend one of our dear member’s wedding. Here are some pictures from the blessed trip:

Celebration of Life: Maha Shivarathiri

7C Life observed the Maha Shivarathiri on 17th February 2015. As a Celebration of Life,

this prayer event was to glorify and express gratitude to the Great Divine. This prayer

celebration was conducted for Lord Shiva who, according to Hinduism, is the

representation of primordial energy from which everything is born and to which

everything in the Universe will disintegrate into. He is also the God of enlightenment,

and of Light and Body. This celebration went on throughout the night and was attended

by our beloved members.

Celebration of Life: Thaipusam (Lord Murugan)

7C Life celebrated the holy month of Thai Pusam by holding a special prayer session for Lord Murugan. Celebrating

Wisdom and Courage, this prayer was held on 4th February

2015 at our very own Kriya Hall. Many of beloved members

attended this auspicious occasion.

Celebration of Life: Chinese New Year Celebration

As part of the festive season, 7C Life celebrated Chinese New Year with our beloved members, family and

friends. This time we took the festivities and blessings to Tong Sim Old Folks Home in Kg. Baru, Salak

Selatan. We held an open house with the 20 senior citizens hosted by the home and also invited their

family and friends to join in the festivities.

This beautiful event took place on Saturday the 27th of February. The celebration was initiated with our

Chinese New Year mascot running in cheering up all the folks there, followed by our Guruji, Swami Guru

Sri Kriyathasa Sekar, handing out Ang Pau’s and t-shirts to all present. This was followed by the tossing of

Yee Sang, a must in every Chinese New Year celebration as it signifies prosperity for the coming year.

Lunch was served thereafter. As the event was nearing its end towards noon, all members joined hands in

cleaning up the place. Each one of us went home knowing that there could not have been a better way to

spend the day than to share joy and happiness to those around us.

Life Realization Retreat

7C Life’s very first retreat of the year was held on 20-22 March 2015. Held in a bungalow by the sea in Port

Dickson, this retreat was participated by fifteen 7C Life members. Members experienced multiple types of

meditation sessions. These sessions, such as walking meditation and the very active throat chakra session,

were different from the sessions held at the centre and almost all sessions provided a personal insight to all

members.

The grand finale of the retreat was the inner journey session. During this session, members were blessed to

experience and understand who they are. This fun-filled retreat was indeed a fulfilling event and each of us

left with a heart filled with love and wonderful memories.

Words are able to express a thousand emotions. Today, we would like to share some of the experiences by our participants of the Life Realization Retreat that we held recently:

“I have heard of many retreats that my friends used to speak about, but never have I attended any retreats in my entire life. Little did I know what or how a retreat would be like until recently I attended the Life Realization Retreat that was held at Port Dickson over a weekend in March, 2014. The Retreat was organised by the amazing 7C Life centre.

In the process of enjoying this bliss of life, I attended the retreat. The retreat gave a bigger boost to all that have already been progressing in my life. Everything seemed to fall into place right after the retreat and is at a more balanced position now. The retreat was an eye-opener to me after all these years of living. Things that I could not see before, are now presenting themselves in the most beautiful ways one could ever imagine. These little things that I had previously overlooked are actually the fundamental essence of life and the human living. I could have never been able to see the beauty of The Divine without the presence and guidance of Swami Guru and the support from all other beautiful souls I have met at the centre. I’m truly blessed to be here today. I will always be thankful to all of them, and most importantly to Swami Guru who gave me this wakeup call.

The retreat was truly an amazing experience. I felt very much connected to the nature and to the unseen power of the Universe or The Divine through the retreat. That feeling is something that I can’t describe with mere words as I am still in the midst of finding the perfect words that could reflect the feeling I felt back then and even right now. Speaking and thinking of it, has taken me back right back to that moment. That’s how intense the feelings are. Life has so much goodness to offer if we allow and have faith in The Divine and Universe to guide us through this life journey by surrendering ourselves to God. These teachings and guidance have changed my perspectives and views on life which I wish I had realised before because life is too short to place so much worry and fear.

I will always be thankful to Swami Guru for this spiritual awakening and all the other beautiful souls around who supported me in making this blissful change. We are all truly blessed, have always been. The day we come to realise this, it will be then we would realise that God has always been within us, and we would always belong to God”

~Pushpam ~

“I had just participated in the recent retreat of the year conducted in Port Dickson. An amazing 3 days experience it was. So if

anyone has been thinking & pondering on what kind of experience to treat yourself to...…my sincere suggestion is to give

yourself this amazing opportunity to attend the Life Realization Retreat, because there is nothing to lose but everything to

gain from it! The line of activities were interesting and extremely beneficial and the most beautiful thing of it all was living

with a family of your own together under one roof, no judgments made, no protocols or hierarchy system was there, just

abundance of care and love shown by Gurujii and every single person who was there. I can’t explain in words how happy and

oriented I have been ever since the retreat, maybe in short I feel now like a “ Positive Emitting Tower” . Words can’t describe

my gratitude and thankfulness to the abundance source of happiness I have in my life now. Thank you so much for everything

Guruji & every single one of you in 7 Chakram that has touched my soul in one manner or another. Thank You!”

Always full of wisdom, these words are from Swami Guru Sri Kriyathasa Sekar who is always delivering much needed messages for all of us. Taken from daily conversations, emails and messages, we hope these messages from Guruji will help you with your daily undertakings. “ Just realize and Be”. “A Guru is Enlightened when He sees His student succeed. A Guru succeeds when the student is Enlightened”. “Do not think of the past, do not bring your anger, hatred, frustration, sadness and other negative energies over again today. It has been proven that those did not do any good in the past.” “Live a fresh day filled ONLY with God’s Love. Breathe in the freshness, rejuvenate Life and Live it Right”. “Love everyone with God’s Love. Everyone needs Love as much as you do too. Share it with all, begin with the people you dislike; they need it the most”. “Gratitude begins with the ones we love. Be courageous to express it. Do not be a coward and expect it”. “Understand the Love and the Divinity of God in mankind and also the existence of God in all”

What is “Life-Universe Alignment”?

Our body has many energy fields such as the aura and inner energies. Life-Universe Alignment helps us to connect with the Universal energy vibrations and balance our energy fields, both inner and outer.

How is it done?

The Life– Universe Alignment is done through the chanting of the 1008 names of the Goddess Sri Lalitha. This chanting is done in the presence of the Universal symbol, also known as the Sri Chakra. In the Hindu religion, this chanting is also done during the Sri Chakra prayers.

The Sri Chakra

The Sri Chakra is known as the geometrical symbol of the Universe. It has the powerful energies of the Universe stored within the formation of the Sri Chakra. These can be invoked by certain poojas/prayers.

The 1008 names of Goddess Sri Lalitha creates a unique sound vibration that invokes the 64 powerful masculine and feminine energies of the Universe. These energies have the ability to travel through the sound vibrations created by the chanting.

The energies created are able to connect to the 64 genetic codes of the DNA, which enhances the genetic instruction that helps you in living a

complete human life. Your well being and increased energies will also expand to your aura.

The Sri Chakra pooja has the ability to change your well being and enhance the success of your human life, family life and values, positive thoughts and vibrations, known as Lakshmi Kadaksham (Prosperity).

Science and The Universal Symbol

Through the study of cymatics (the study of waves and frequencies), we are able to see what the sound of “OM” looks like. When put under a tonoscope, OM produces the formation of the Sri Chakra. OM, which is the sound vibration of the Universe, is proven to produce the Universal symbol.

The world is a different place for each and every one of us. Some of us see the world as place full of happiness, others as not so happy a place. The difference is in how we look at it. And how do we look at the world with a fresh pair of eyes? Today’s Life Coaching will help us answer this question. “We all go through life with different kinds of circumstances and situations every day. The first question

that we always ask the world, the Divine and ourselves is “Why am I going through this situation?” It is a

very simple question and we expect an answer for it.

Now, assume that you are asking me that same question of “Why am I going

through this situation”. I will in turn ask you “Please define who you are”. If a

painting comes to me and I look at the painting, the painting is just a painting of what it is. And when I ask you to explain why the painting is such, you will explain

it easily. Now I need to ask you, “Who are you?”. Because everything out there is

circumstances and situations that keep evolving over time and situations; and based

on different action and reactions that takes place, it evolves. But you, YOU are the

only thing that is constant. So in order for me to explain what the environment is

doing to you, I need to know who the constant person is. Are you able to explain who the “me” is? You may say your name, but that is not what it is. For example, the

Sharmila here and the Sharmila elsewhere would be a different person. The name

itself is not the reason why any circumstances are happening.

You may say I am so and so’s daughter or son. Everybody has sons and daughters. But that does not mean

that affects them the same way. Your job is also not a constant.

The soul is the entity. Everybody has a soul. Is every soul suffering? Are you able to truly tell me who you

have consistently been? Has your character been the same to everyone in the world? Has your behavior

been same to everyone in the world? Have you been equally loving to everyone in the world? Have you seen

the world with the same open heartedness?

If you are unable to be consistent in all situations, how do you expect goodness to be consistent to you?

When you are inconsistent, good and bad will also be inconsistent in the same way. You tend to push

goodness away saying “Ah it’s ok” when people say thank you. But when others do bad things to us, we

pay attention to it and keep thinking about it. We take the bad things and we enhance it. We also have

goodness happening. But we do not take the goodness and enhance it, nor do we even look at why the goodness has happened.

How many of us have sat down and looked at ourselves, at the times that we have had success and were aware of the state of our minds during this success? We have all had successes at some point of our lives.

It is because we wanted to have that success and happiness.

We suffer because we are not consistent and constant, in our thought processes and behavior to the world. We don’t cherish the moments when we

are happy. Alternatively, when people ask us, what is the most traumatic

event we have gone through, we would be able to create a list of this. Some

people will even have a long list which can take days to complete. But when I

ask you when were you happy, you may say “Maybe my 21st birthday”; “Maybe the day I got married”. It is

all a “maybe”. Why? Because you never took the value of happiness and enhanced it and made it the most memorable day in your life. The traumatic event becomes the most traumatic because you make sure to

always remember it. It shouldn’t be memorable but we make sure we put it into the memory and made it

the most difficult thing to forget. This is where you are. This is the state you are in. How do you change

this? How do we change this?

The problem is with the word “change”. When we tell you to change or when we say that we need to change, immediately you think that you are not good enough. You have heard people say “change for good”

or “change for better”. Normally, it is “Change for the better”. So what comes before better? Good comes

before better. You must be good first in order to change for better, isn’t it? If you are worst, you will be

saying “I’m worst now, and I’m changing to become worse. Then I will change to become bad”. Nobody

does that. You change to become better.

Basically all of us are already good enough where we are. When we change to become better, we are able to

see more success beyond what we have experienced before. Imagine you have a jar of life, filled with

success and pain. What happens if you increase the success? What happens to the pain? The pain gets

lesser and lesser over time, till the entire jar is filled with only happiness. So do you need to change? Are

you already good enough today? Are you changing for better? How do you change?

When we face something that does not go right for us, the first thing we do is to blame someone else. We

see everyone else who is at fault and even pray to God to change the people out there. Not only do you see

the mistakes of others, but you even take their mistakes and go and pray to God about it. Imagine that God

is going to grant you goodness, do you realize how much time you are wasting praying for other people to

become better? For example, you may pray “Hopefully my boss is nicer to me”. You are praying for your

boss to become better. Your boss will become better, but not necessarily to you. Instead, you should ask

the following: “God, allow me to understand the world better and allow me to Live in the glory of your Love and happiness”. Wouldn’t that cover everything?

The first person that you need to look at, if something bad happens to you is yourself. Look at how you

have contributed to that situation. It is not about finding mistakes in your life, it is about finding out how

you were involved and what caused such a reaction. If a person hurts

another, it is a reaction to something. So where did the action start? The suffering you go through is also a reaction. Who started the action? It is

you. A boomerang will always come back to the person who sent it out.

But we will never see or say that it was us who sent it out. We will say

that somebody else threw it.

Likewise, every pain that you have in Life is a reaction of your own actions. It is not something that you are

doing consciously, it is something that you are doing unconsciously and when you are unconsciously

avoiding looking at it, you are not reflecting upon yourself.

Meditation is your conscious effort to look at your thoughts, your actions, to be aware of how your

reaction is going to be. The reaction is real and physical at times. This is because the Divine wants you to

learn, to take that experience and see where it started from, and for you to change for the better. When

something happens, see how it started. Change for better. If you keep doing this, all these sufferings will stop.

Every action’s reaction comes back to us in multiple folds. When you reflect upon yourself, try to do a lot

of happy things. Throw your happiness out to everyone around you. It will come back to you in multiple

folds of happiness. You are responsible for the change in you. I am only responsible to tell you that. And

that is how Life is. It is in your hands. It is all in your hands. Happiness is in your hands; suffering is in your hands. Progressive change is the only thing that will help you attain ultimate success.

You are able to experience beautiful things when your mind is calm and quiet. This happens during

meditation, through the visualizations you get. Meditation helps your mind to become calm and quiet over time. You will realize that the world itself is a beautiful place to look at. Beautiful things happen. My mind

is very relaxed and calm. So I see beautiful people sitting there, all designed to be successful. All of us are

designed to be happy.

Once your mind is calm and relaxed, you will realize that even a flower or a plant that you pass by daily

looks brighter and more beautiful. An angry customer in a shop will be an amusing event for you.

Previously you would get irritated, but now you will just smile at the customer. That is how you can change. The world is still beautiful, regardless of how people behave. Even if you see a barking dog, you

most probably will try to smile at it, because you will see that it is beautiful. The world is already

beautiful. The world is already happy. It is the perspective that you are seeing it that matters.

There are over 230+ countries in the world with 7 billion people. There is a lot of

goodness happening that nobody talks about. A lot of happiness. A lot of countries

are good. The world is already beautiful. Focus on the right things, not the wrong things. As an example, let’s look at death: If there are a lot people dying, the world

population should be decreasing. But the fact is that world population is increasing.

So this means that birth is happening at a greater rate than death. But what are we

saying in the end? “A lot of people are dying”. We do not say “A lot of beautiful

babies are being born”. We choose to see the wrong things in Life. Goodness is

happening at a greater rate than the wrong things.

You are in 7C; it is filled with Love, happiness and positive energy. We are a family and we are non-

judgmental. Whether 7 billion people out there change or not, I would be happy if YOU are able to see the

world as a beautiful place. Not only now, but from today onwards and the outside world as well. Let each

one of us become the seed for a happy world.

Swami Guru Sri Kriyathasa Sekar “Let go of things you can’t change.

Focus on things you can”.

Being part of 7C Life has changed life positively for all. Many have been part of 7C Life since it was

founded. Today, we have testimonials from four family members who have not only experienced many positive changes in their life, but who also are very much a part of each and every activity conducted here,

including the recent Life Realization Retreat.

“ Life is a series of phases, of changes and new chapters that ultimately shape and create our lives. With each change and new

phase comes a time of transition. 7C Life was the turning point in my life. Each moment in 7C is a great life experience to me. In

honor of this, I want to give my sincere thanks to Guruji, who is an amazing teacher, whom inspired me on my path and to

whom I owe a huge debt of gratitude.

7C was the key component in embracing my life transition. 7C Life has taught me in maintaining an open mind and an open

heart, which in turn has opened new doors and presented new opportunities in my personal as well as career life. Each moment

felt is blissful and blessed. Every discourse and activity in 7C has taught me life’s greatest lesson: “to live the moment”. One of

the phrases mentioned by Guruji which has brought great changes in me is “When you make the conscious decision to live in the

moment and not only be present, but also happily present, life tends to level itself out. When we embrace and recognize these

changes rather than fight them, we allow ourselves to not only be more present and live in the moment, but to also appreciate

the moment for what it is”.

Besides the experiences written above, I have listened to the experiences and journeys of other members with 7C Life. They have

also taught me many aspects in the journey which has inspired me.

My heartfelt gratitude goes out to Divine Mother, Guruji and 7C Life and it’s family members for the wonderful experiences,

teaching and guidance in my life path”.

-Subbashini-

“Hi I am Harikrishnan, a 25 years old fresh graduate. 254 days ago I was diagnosed with lymphoma, a type of blood cancer at

stage 4. As soon I was introduced to our beloved Guruji, the hope Guruji seeded in me grew into a very big tree over time. My

courage and 7C's support elevated my unshakable hope to cure and lead life despite my health condition. All the free meditation

classes conducted has progressively improved my nature and characteristics for a better human being in total. The Life

Realization Retreat has guided me on how to take charge of my own mind which is tricky for all of us most of the time. And to

genuinely tell myself that I am cured and the nightmare is over.

Guruji confirmed that I am perfectly fine from the very beginning. Just 3 days after the retreat my oncologist surprisingly

declared that I am “perfectly fine, fully cured" from the advanced stage of cancer in 248 days, which occurred several months

earlier than expected with a better recovery rate.

This experience has pushed me towards a wholesome paradigm shift.

7C is my second home, because they are family now.

We only die once. Till then lets live life to the fullest until the last heart beat”.

“I was introduced to 7C Life about 3 months ago, precisely on the 18th of Jan 2015. I am truly thankful & grateful to be given

this opportunity to share my experience here.

Just over a coffee session with my cousin, Pushpam, I came to know about 7C Life when she mentioned to me about the

meditation sessions conducted here. After listening to her, without even a second thought, I told her to bring me along for the

sessions. I must say that it was definitely one of my best ever decision that I ever embarked on. I believe it was a “Calling” for

me…because I needed to seek a path or a channel to bring that glowing smile from within rather than discharging the ordinary

smile that was continuously masking all the troubles and worries it actually had beneath it all.

From then, I regularly followed the chakra meditations, Let’s Release and the Gratitude of Life session during full moon which

are conducted in PD. Each and every session deepened my level of faith & believe in The Divine; something that I have always

doubted till I came to 7C. I learnt something so wonderful in 7 C : “We are actually too Blessed to be even Stressed”!

Ask, Believe and Just Surrender!

-Dharshini a/p Annantha Krishnan-

“January 11th, 2015…….a date that I will fondly remember. It marks the date I came into 7C Life. I was brought here by a childhood friend of mine, Harikrishnan. He is definitely a person that I will always be thankful to for bringing me here. I was warmly welcomed by all of them at the centre with lots of smiles everywhere. I was new and didn't feel like a stranger but rather as part of the “family”. This was where my beautiful journey started towards my spiritual awakening. Writing this testimony here today, is a totally different person from what I recognised to be a few months ago.

When I first became in, I attended the meditation and life coaching sessions. I did not know much about meditation then, how it worked or its effects on our daily life. All that I knew was, I was meant to be there for a reason. The life coaching session is done by Swami Guru Sri Kriyathasa Sekar. I was extremely blessed to see Swami Guru on my first day of the session itself. Swami Guru’s life coaching made a remarkable change in my life. Weeks passed and I started to see the positive changes in me and my surroundings. Events at workplace became smoother to deal with, work related matters improved so well, relationships became so much easier to handle and most importantly, love and God was seen in everyone and everywhere”.
