Meditation - Food for the Soul

By Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Meditation is the journey from movement to stillness, from sound to silence. The need is present in you to meditate because it is your natural tendency to look for undiminished joy and love that doesn’t distort or turn negative.

Is meditation alien to us? That’s not true because you have been in meditation even before…

Happy New Year - A Poem by Bijay Raut

Happy New Year

Like the dew drops in the early morning grass,

Fresh and clear as pearls in the rays of sunshine,

Like the blossoming of magnolia in the early spring,

Gracefully clad in white as a beautiful bride,

Like the eastern sky in the early dawn,

Magnificently bright with the glow of the rising Sun,

Like the spark on her face…

Secret Aspiration - A Poem by Bijay Raut

Secret Aspiration In all vicissitudes, I remain calm and still, I panic not in peril, Nor do I shake in moment’s chill, I aspire not any comfort, Nor do I disdain any pain, For I am not the one who feel these, Nor could these feel me, I aspire you my Lord, For you are that stillness which is in me, I utter no will of my own, For thy will is the cause of all other will, All I want to do is to aspire you, Secretly from the bottom of my heart’s… Continue

Wisdom of Uncertainty - Deepak Chopra Answers

Q. My question is a simple one, but in a way, one of the big ones. How do you live life when it has no guarantees? How do you dare to love someone, when they may die, or you may die? How do you dare feel safe walking in the world when maybe nothing will come in the next part, after death? These questions have never concerned me before, but suddenly I find myself thinking about them very much. I’m in my thirties but feel about 5 years old when I think… Continue

The Real Seat of Power – Are You in it?

Where lies true power? Who has power today and why exactly are they powerful? There is a tendency to externalize the idea of power. We look at other people and organizations and we call them ‘powerful’. Why? Because they seem to have a significant effect on the world around them. This gives us a simple but accurate definition of power as ‘the ability to influence future change’. And as we look out into the world we see so many are vying with each… Continue

Inner Peace, the Real Peace

Inner Peace, the Real Peace

Take a moment to look outwards into the natural world. See the tree…watch the flower… observe the grass…feel the breeze. Notice how everything in nature does what it does naturally and peacefully. Peace is nature’s nature. It grows, blooms, decays and dies with peace, in peace. Even the elements are mostly peaceful by nature, until we decide to attempt to control and interfere with their balance and harmony.… Continue

Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different. - Stacey… Continue

Sankalpa is the subtlest level of intention at the cusp of choiceless awareness and thought. It is like the seed structure of intelligence around which time, space, and matter consolidate into a manifested event. The fundamental mechanics of… Continue
