by Danielle LaPorte
Saraswati, by Pieter Welteverde www.sanatansociety.com
Saraswati is my #1 Goddess. She rules what I dig most. I'm surprised she's not up there with Kali and Aphrodite in mass popularity. Saraswati is regarded as the Goddess of knowledge and the ar... |

Spring is in the air!
by Chitra Jha
This much awaited spring is a time of fulfillment. There is something sacred about this energy. Heavens are poised to inject their magnificence into our land. New sprouting leaves and grasses (which are yet to raise their heads) upraise every local heart. |

The Guru Within!
by Brahmaprakash Gaur
In 1991, my office had a group of 40 odd female staff members, pursuing spiritual practices. They had the same guru. Bound by this fellowship, they would get together in the office every day during lunch recess to study scriptures and to meditate. Once or twice, I joined their sessions and they did mine. Then the requirements of work took me away from Mumbai. The contact was severed. |

The art of Self-Realization
by Hans Dholakia

Break It And You Pay For It!
by Pallavi Rao
The last few days I was feeling exhausted but I carried on my household duties because I have a house to run and many commitments to honour. In India we teach our daughters that the home revolves around them; women are the sun and our family are the planets. |

The other side of the window
by Sharath Bhat
I was at this ice cream parlor with some friends the other day and saw a young, indulgent mother with two little kids - who were going berserk choosing some very exotic looking scoops and toppings. Just the excitement on their faces was an image framed for my photo gallery. |

Conversations with U
by Grace Kerina
It’s all very nice to believe in a power greater than myself - some version of a beneficent overseer with management capabilities that boggle the mind - but I want a personal relationship, not a vague idea or a one-way yearning.
Over the years, ... |

4 Problem solving tools
by Axee
God helps those who help themselves.
But How?
To reach God: you need to communicate with him.
To communicate, you need to pray as you don’t get to him by any other way.
A prayer bereft of feelings of Love is like...a lake without water.

The liberation of fred

You know that the teacher appears when you're ready. Sometimes it's a pop tune, or an ad on the bus, sometimes it's the handy man. Keep your heart open and you'll recognize the wisdom when it shows up...wearing overalls and fedora. |

Inhale suffering, exhale compassion
by Danielle LaPorte
I've shopped the mall of meditation since my early twenties. I've tried Vipassna, and guided visualization, and Transcendental Meditation, among others. Vipassna helps empty my mind, but I find it punishing. It's taken me a long time to admit (lest I... |

Big Bang Or Big Hoax?
by Jessica See
Let us take a look at the basis of the evolution theory and let the logical thinking person decide if it is even remotely scientific! The theory postulates that billions of years ago, there was a Big Bang and non-living things over a long period of time became living things. Does that sound logical to you - that masses of unaccountable atoms of gases violently "kissed" each other in a Big Bang and non-living things turned into frogs, princes, princesses, kings and queens. It comes across more like a fairy tale than science! |

The Language Of The Soul
by Nithya Shanti
How will you know whether you are moving forward? Well, it is not that difficult - sudden creative flow, universal signs, synchronicity, realisation of abundance, deeper connection with the universe, fulfilment followed by futility, a sense of multiple personalities and willingness to rest long hours - is the closest analytical comparison to graduating from one paradigm and stepping onto the other. |
