Legend has it that Gurgaon village, located in the heart of Gurgaon city, was the ancestral village of Guru Dronacharya, the teacher of archery and martial arts to the Pandava and Kaurava princes. Guru the "teacher", in this case refers to Dronacharya and both gram/ gaon mean "village". As the King of Hastinapur gifted the village to Dronacharya, it came to be known as Guru-gram, colloquially hailed as Gurgaon. The 'Dronacharya Well' still exists within Gurgaon city.Situated at the northern edge of Aravali mountain range, Gurgaon is the second largest city in the State of Haryana, 30 km south of national capital New Delhi.

The divine evening saw people who traveled distances up the hills mingling with the local populace, especially the Badagas. They are the largest indigenous social group inhabiting the Nilgiri Hills. They speak the language called Badaga. They were quick to dissolve in their unique exposure to Nectarene Musik and meditation. Towards the finale they were on their feet effortlessly performing graceful dance movements that have now become hall marks of their tribe.
Another memorable evening for the team who participated.
The amc in Belandur was an unique experience. The faculty crew we worked with summed up the overall experience as "bubbly and beautiful". The crowning glory was when Sri Sri met and blessed all the 108 participants today; it was indeed a moment which they would cherish for a long time.
