Back to Basics


Have you ever noticed whenever you are happy, how is your energy level 'high' while on contrary whenever you are sad your energy level is 'low'. Or sometime even when things are alright and normal you don't feel all good and you feel something inside you is sinking. What is that something is sinking and cause a up moods, its nothing but the life force energy moving up ward or downward. Whether it's blame, sadness, loss, bad health or criticism we feel low while when we win, gain or received appreciation and recognition we feel uplifted. Its just a play of energy which is taking us on this ride of mood swings.

What we can do to keep in under control, start working on the basics of life. What basics which keep our life force energy uplifted and high. Keep a check of things which are the source of energy, namely food, rest, spiritual practices, good company, a inspiring read.

Food: Take good nutritious food on time. Specially at least one serving of vegetable, sprouts and fruits everyday. Take the food which keep you light and not make you lethargic or aggressive.

Rest: Take proper rest and on time rest. Sleeping late night causes such a imbalance in system and disturb the whole nervous system at subtle level at the same time causes loss in productivity at work place. So keep up with timely sleep so that you stay fresh during the day time.

Spiritual Tonic: There are few things in our life which give us strength, the strength to the self in us. I call them 'spiritual tonic' as it tones the self. Whether its meditation or any spiritual practice, have a daily dose of it everyday.

Good Company: Watch out your company. Certain people simply complain and keep cribbing about anything and every thing. These are the people who are never happy. Better stay away from them. Be with happy people. As happiness grow with happiness.

Inspiring Read: Somebody has said the inspiring books are the best friend. They never waste your time. Always gives you and you can shut them whenever you want. You don't have any obligation with books. Keep a good book always with you.

Lets work on these basics and see how it influence our life.

With the best wishes for the festive season. Merry Christmas!

All Glory to Gurudev!
With Love

Eat Less, Digest More

Spiritual or self-help teaching is a slippery path to walk upon. Being a spiritual teacher comes with a danger that one can have a notion of knowing without knowing. For example, i t is one thing to intellectually understand yoga is good for the healthy body but then doing it every day to keep the body healthy is an entirely different thing. Similarly, it is one thing to understand the benefit of practicing acceptance for the peace of mind then to living the acceptance.  Let's  expand upon it a bit. There are three kinds of understandings viz intellectual, experiential and existential. The first level of understanding is the intellectual understanding which is the most superficial one, like understanding of the mental phenomenon, methods of quietening the mind, and one can easily intellectually understand this knowledge or inner science which is very similar to the understanding of any other field like physics, chemistry, mathematics etc. Here the process mostly involves...

Sakshi-The Witness

There is wisdom beyond every event. There is love beyond every person. There is infinity beyond every object. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar These are beautiful lines spoken by world renowned spiritual leader and humanitarian Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Though sounds very simple but these few lines are impregnated with vast wisdom which immediately bring the shift in consciousness by little dwelling. Other significance of these ' sutras ', the tenets of wisdom is that it covers most of mind stuff/activity/thought. If carefully deliberated one find mind dwells either on events, people or objects most of the times and all most all over conflicts whether personal or otherwise can be attributed to these three dimension of existence namely events, people and objects.
