The wise man sitting on the cushion made of hay stroked his white beard and smiled. The youngster had asked the same question, however could not have any answer some months ago.

Getting out of SamsaraCHENNAI: Every human birth is an opportunity to strive for salvation and this truth is reinforced emphatically in the lives of saints. It is important that each individual becomes self introspective and tries to understand the purpose of life. We have to get rid of the consequences of our actions if one has to transcend the cycle of Samsara.Saiva Siddhanta points out that every act (good or bad) of an individual is recorded and the consequences (joy or sorrow) have to be fa

Viareggio, Italy: April 13, 1999Tridandisvami Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja[This is the first publication of the transcription below. Although it is five years old, it is timely. As Srila Narayana Maharaja told the story herein, he was unsuccessfully trying to hold back his tears. In order to wipe his eyes as he was reaching the story’s end, he opened his arms to take hold of his upper sannyasa cloth and slip it under his eyeglasses. He was wearing a very thin garland of tiny lavend

When he was nine years old, Garuvel Nep Zing discoveredthat he could disappear. He was sitting in a white gazebo on the family estate.It was hidden by tall thin evergreens to the rear of the Great House, at the end of a long sloping lawn. Garuvel treasured this spot for its remoteness from the prying eyes of his family and the family’s servants. Little finches nested in the stately spires, and Garuvel watched them land and disappear twittering inside the moistaromatic branches. Occasionally he aRead more…
If you have asked yourself the question“why am I so crazy”?the answer is simple.You are crazy with grief.Deep down inside,you are like one attending a funeral,tearing your clothes,bewailing your loss.“But what have I lost, to be so crazy?”you ask.Something infinitely precious,something you love so ferociouslythat even to remember it consciouslywould set you to rending your hair,again and again.There is a rage that attends this griefa rage at yourself, because,down in this same forgotten chamber

Truly its been a revival for me to come to this community and this site and to be in the company of fellow yogis like you. There I have to correct myself because when I compare myself with you all I see the difference. All of you are adepts and teachers of yoga running your own ashrams and studios while the last class of yoga I might have taught at the Sivananda Yoga center in Trivandrum Kerala may have been fifteen years back. Nevertheless in Yoga there is no comparison and the first breath of

First of all let me say that I am enlightened hehehe. When I say that I mean that all of us are enlightened. Otherwise we wouldn’t be able to communicate would we? There is a light within us that makes it possible for us to be aware, to know, to think, to remember and be active through the body mind and senses. That light or awareness makes it possible for us to sleep, dream, and to wake up from sleep, to a new day with all the memory of the previous days of our life in continuity. That light wh

God is all that we can imagine him to be,And he can be just beyond that imagination.He can be gentler than the gentlest breeze,And more fierce than the hurricane.He is the Lord of creation,But is also a lady.He is simpler than the simplest,But more complex than complicated.Smaller than the smallest,Yet larger than the largest.Closer than the closest,But further than the farthest.Friend to a friend,Father to a child,Wife of a husband,And husband to a wife.Wiser than the wisest,Yet innocence at it
