On the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Trittiya, I’m delighted to present a children’s animation video that I had the pleasure of creating with Irene Nany and her Fountain Stories team at Brawijaya University in Indonesia. It has been some time since I have posted on the LivingWise Project. When I …
‘Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam’, a Sanskrit phrase repeated in many ancient Indian texts, translates as “the Earth is one family”. This recognises not only the unity of mankind, but of all living systems on the Earth.
In the book I’m currently reading (these days for me reading means opening to random places as I feel inspired to!), Krishna: The Man and His Philosophy by Osho, Osho discusses the issues of living the Truth in the world, using the example of Krishna who is accused of playing …
