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 [...]

Meditation diaries

There have been numerous interpretations for the word meditation. I am sure you would have a fair idea of your own. I have something to say with respect to my understanding of mediation. 
In my opnion, meditation is the ability to catch hold of a concept and delve into great depths to be able to arrive [...]

@Somebody I know

Somebody I know wrote thus in response to my points of view:
‘I think you are in a confused sttate right now and need to take some time off.
This is reflected in the rambling structure of your post.
I dont think that there is anything erroneous about a doctor observing a patient to study symptoms. Even if [...]

Everything is in the seed-3

After my last post on this topic, I have been left fumbling trying to find some physical explanation for abstract concepts. I am going to make a sincere effort at rationalizing spiritual concepts. 
Let us take the structure of the nervous system. We have a sructure called vertebral column which supports the skull and the vertebral [...]

There could be myriad interpretations for this and my understanding is it basically means a person who has given himself, which means everything which [...]

Zapped in Bangalore for the nth time

Had to make a recent trip on outer ring-road(?) from KR Puram to Hebbal.
What really struck me as absurd was the fact that there were huge pot-holes in roads acros bridges. Now the fact that bridges are at an incline and hence less prone to water-logging has not deterred deterioration of the roads really struck me [...]

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 [...]

Review-in the rearview mirror

It has been close to 6 years now that I have been practising ‘Kundalini Gnanam’ . A lot of times I am asked questions which are very simple at first glance, but to give a satisfactory answer is actually not that easy. the first question is ‘Why do you do it?’ Sounds very simple. But the [...]
