Girin Govind, engineer, working for a private company, was waiting for the day he could fill his minutes with a job that is his true calling. He wanted to follow the footsteps of his guru, His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. After months of asking if he could move to the ashram in Bangalore, when his guru finally agreed, Girin gladly put in his papers in 2006.
“I asked them if I could leave the next day. Still, they relieved me within seven days,” he recalls. “As soon as I reached the ashram, on the very next day, Guruji announced that I would be his new secretary. I used to tell his previous secretary that one day I’d be sitting in that chair. But I never thought it would actually happen.”
Girin was introduced to the Art of Living six years earlier, by his roommate.“I had just finished my mechanical engineering degree from Kannur University in Kerela. Right after that I did my part-1 course. My roommate had been insisting consistently but I never relented because I did not believe in gurus.”
That summer Girin had no excuses left, because he had just finished college and had some time off. So he forced himself to attend the course.“ I liked the course and the knowledge of the present moment. I liked the satsang that happened on the last day because I was a musician. Having grown up with a secular mind-set, I liked the all-inclusiveness which Guruji’s knowledge had.”
