FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT

Nov 06. 2018

Dear friends, Happy Diwali. One sentence from the Upanishads has been coming to me again and again: Asato mā sadgamaya tamasomā jyotir gamaya May I proceed from untruth to truth and from darkness to light.

Primarily it is our state of ignorance, sloth, inaction and unawareness. Whatever we are doing, whether it...

This de-conditioning of the inner being is called de-cluttering or cleaning, and it frees up space, and renews our energy. We need to...

Our Rx is Meditation, minimum 1x per day

Jul 01. 2018

Dear friends, When a flight is about to take off and the cabin attendants are demonstrating the safety procedures, they will give the instruction, “In case of a drop in cabin pressure during the flight, please put on your oxygen mask before helping others.” A common reaction is, “Isn’t that selfish?” but think about it.
