Good times and the bad times

It has beena kind of rough week for me. Half of my relatives are down with some illness or the other. The saving grace has been that each household has only a maximum of one person out of action. But it has been stressful enough with work to add.
But then there is a kind of [...]

Meditation diaries

I had written a post sometime back, on a particular observation during practise of asanas and meditation. Interestingly I had a comment by a gentleman talking about the a very sweeping description of meditation.
It was a very good description and I would like to agree with him on a lot of aspects. But if I [...]

Knowledge and Spirituality

I was reading from a book written by guru
I stopped for a moment and started thinking about spirituality as such and the amount of material that one can find in this world. The sheer number of religions, sects and sub-sects. The number of Saints and Yogis and their followers in this world. Ironically each saint [...]

After more than a year

One of my colleagues at office asked me yesterday.
‘It has been more than a year now and what do you think has changed?’

Meditation diaries

In my opnion, meditation is the ability to catch hold of a concept and delve into great depths to be able to arrive [...]

My diaries on introspection 25/10/2008

The journey from bachelorhood to family has been very smooth for me. I keep hearing comments from either side talking about advantages and disadvantages. As usual, I have a different spin to share.
In my scheme of things or rather the way I understand different states in the life of a man or a woman is [...]

My diaries on introspection 14102008

I have written a previous post about the importance of systematic and consistent habits in my life. I would like to take this forward in a different thread.
It is common knowledge that we have a lot of festivals. For that matter India is a country with a lot of festivals and this is multiplied by the [...]
