To break the monotony during the Coronavirus lockdown in India, Gurudev gave a unique creative challenge to the men for the week. His challenge was that the men cook and women go on a “cooking strike” on Monday, April 6th.
How about #WomenOnStrike on Monday? #LetMenCook
Women can guide others in the house, including children to cook. In some cases, it might be tougher to teach than to cook yourself but it's worth the challenge.#LockdownAdventures— Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (@Gurudev) April 3, 2020
Ever since the Government of India initiated a lockdown to control the spread of the Covid-19 infection, the families have been spending most time indoors. Most homemakers being women, were working more than usual managing the homes and the family. This challenge came as a much welcome break for the homemakers and an opportunity to be creative for the others who do not usually cook in their homes.
Taking up the challenge, Gurudev made a couple of dishes himself inspiring others to do the same.
Come on, you can do it. #WomenOnStrike #LetMenCook pic.twitter.com/idqP5Dudoc

Seeing life beyond its limited time dissolves frustration and takes you to stillness and fulfillment.
Realization in material life is that you’re here only to give. The spiritual journey begins with gratitude when you discover you’ve only been taking and have nothing to give.
Over the past three weeks, the State Assembly of California and several cities in America issued proclamations honoring the work of the Art of Living.
On this luminous night of Guru Purnima, may the light of wisdom rise in every heart and life be filled with gratitude.
