Back from the Teachers refresher meet! Be a teacher!

Jai Gurudeva!!
It was a quick week at bangalore for Teachers refresher meet on the ashram. It was just half the teachers as the TRM for teachers working in the southern indian states will be held seperately. VM was paaaccckked!! This is just the beginning. Guruji had once said He wants a teacher for every postal pin code in India. Thats around 33000 teachers! Going by that we are about 5000 now and quite a few generations of teachers are yet to come. Generations seperated by when they do their TTCs!
The last TRM had Guruji's physical presence in most of the sessions. This time He was doing the job thru Swami Pragyapada! And we used to have 100 teacher TRMs just a few years ago! Given that more than 70% of India and a large part of the world is in the YES!+ age group, lots more YES!+ teachers are needed to cover the whole globe. AS of now we are just 2 generations of YES!+ teachers. The first ones are handpicked by Bawa from among Part-1 teachers. The 2nd generation is the first ever YES!+ TTC that happened on the ashram! These 100 odd teachers should be starting to teach soon. A few have already started. Every year there shall be a YES!+ TTC somewhere on the globe! Most likely Bangalore ashram ! We would like to reach a target of stationing one teacher at each institute of the world! You guys would be lucky to choose YES!+ teaching as a career option. Its going to be a big hit in the years to come. It already is! Like Infosys was a big hit even when it was just about 100 people strong. just that not many knew about it. Today with 100000 people in the company the whole world knows.
Typically you spend 2 years and lots of your parents money slogging to get into an enginnering college,  medical or an MBA college. You have to think of training yourself to be a teacher also on these lines. You should be ready to set a plan of atleast 2 years of intelligent consistent dedicated effort. Just like people take a drop for an year to slog for CAT, with no guarantees of getting in anywhere, you should be ready to take out an year if you wish to be on the fast lane to be a teacher. And then dont sit idle. Work atleast 12 hours in a day! Learn new skills, put yourself in difficult situations, be ready to experiment with your life, do unconventional things, take responsibility. Strengthen yourself in the areas you are weak at by taking up challenges.

all the best!!


lots of love
