Upasana Saijpal and Manisha Shah

                                             MANISHA SHAH 

Manisha Didi (with lots of love we call her Manna) is a YES+ faculty of the Art Of Living traveling across India. She has empowered youths in cities like Surat, Pune,Bangalore, and Mumbai to name a few. She is a graduate from Podar college (in spite of being in PODAR she attended all lectures ‘sincerely’J) and has done her Post Graduation in Finance Management and was spearheading the Internet Banking department of the ICICI bank for 2yrs before becoming a full time faculty with the Art of Living, securing lives and giving much more returns to every one ever since.The academic persona anyway is not that which attracted us to her but ‘the real Her.’She has also been an integral part in organizing huge events and workshops spreading simply sweet smiles just like hers. Magic comes to her fingers the minute she enters the kitchen preparing just about anything. If you have tasted her food you understand what I mean else you really have missed treating your taste buds. Very few also know that she is an amazing painter, and has mild interests in sports. Because for her sports equates to just cricket and Lawn tennis.She has now been bestowed by the blessing of afternoon naps (Kindly do not kill me for this!!) The best quality about her is the way she can be malleable, from being a meticulous mentor, to a terrific teenager, from expressing some motherly type love and concern to being just a true friend. It holds so true for her that the more we love her the more we respect her and the vise versa. Di Thank you for everything you have given us and at times not given (for our good J) We love you very much di.

                      UPASANA SAIJPAL

Upasana Didi (with love called Upi Di) holds a masters degree in Librarian and Information science. She worked for 8yrs in a college in Mumbai(that is how she knows the pulse of every youth)before becoming Full time with the Art of Living. She has traveled extensively across the globe right from Canada to Indonesia teaching the YES+ course to thousands of youths. She has also been invited by a number of prestigious universities like University of Manitoba, University of Dalhousie in Canada,  IIT Bombay to conduct the YES+ workshop for their students. She was also a leader in organizing projects like March in March(march of thousands of youths in delhi), yuvaratri etc. She specializes in bringing about a transformation in society by making a everlasting difference in everyone’s life. She holds a magnetic personality (even politicians shy away to look straight in her eyes) and is a personification of perfection. Her organization and systematic approach of doing everything has inspired us the most. In her the Young Punjabi blood runs depicting the strength of her. Once H.H. Sri Sri Ravishankarji  had said about her, that even on a No Moon night she will go out of her way and come back with Four Moons. Her concern for us on the minutest of things (from our marks to doing Mudras correctly, from our parents to our growth on the path, from our bags being clean and sparkling to how to comb our hair tidily) shows her genuinety . Whenever we go to her house we fill our empty stomachs will yummy rajma rice and butter chapattis. Lately her vocal cords have started getting her appreciation (for the right tunes of course J ) and she is a huge crazy fan of Bryan Adams. We love you very much di and thank you for always being our support.

We take this opportunity to salute,’ The Duo-Devi Shakti’ for inspiring a team from Sion to Panvel. In your presence we feel safe and taken care of and thank you for always making us grow on the path. Whatever we all are today is because of you. We are so lucky to have you in our life and thank you for being our strength. LOVE YOU….Mauuuhhh
