To Whom Should I Pray? (Meditation and Devotion – Yoga Vasishtha)

To Whom Should I Pray? (Meditation and Devotion – Yoga Vasishtha)

ByShruti Bakshi

It encompasses the span of countless epochs, but it does not let go of a moment of time. It is subtler than the tip of a single strand of hair, yet it pervades the…

Swami Vivekananda’s Message for India

Swami Vivekananda’s Message for India

ByShruti Bakshi

“This is the land from whence, like the tidal waves, spirituality and philosophy have again and again rushed out and deluged the world, and this is the land from whence once more such tides must proceed in order to bring life and vigour into the decaying races of mankind. It is the same India which has withstood the shocks of centuries, of hundreds of foreign invasions, of hundreds of upheavals of manners and customs. It is the same land which stands firmer than any rock in the world, with its undying vigour, indestructible life.

Brahma’s Lie and the Delusion of Certainty

Brahma’s Lie and the Delusion of Certainty

ByLivingWise Project

“Brahma’s lie marks the first act of fundamentalism on the planet. The flower is punished for bearing witness and offering tacit support to the fundamentalist impulse. To claim a limited end to a limitless process, to reduce the infinite to the finite, to draw borders across the borderless, to make measurements of the unfathomable – this is the beginning of the human impulse to create certainty where none exists. It is the birth of pain, of suffering, of delusion.”
