Marriage - William & Kate show the world that yes, love and God make for a beautiful marriage!

I watched William and Kate exchange marriage vows today and listening to the holiest of words spoken to each other was an honor - to respect, be faithful, in sickness and in health, rich or poor, love each other till death do they part and God's joined them in His love. God was spoken in this ceremony, freely and was understood by all. It was reported that over 2 billion people watched William and Kate exchange holy vows of matrimony and became husband and wife. Listening to the sweet…

COMPASSION

The pure and sweet souled man Mahatma Gandhi commonly said, "I am a Hindu and a Moslem, a Christian and a Buddhist.” In his ashram at daily prayers, Gandhi prayed to include all faiths. We too would benefit greatly from his lesson in tolerance and participation. Truly the essence of all religion is compassion.

Can we say: I am a human being, living here, in this time, in this space, a…

THROUGH THE EYES OF BLACK ELK

“So I dressed myself in a sacred manner”* and went and stood out beside the highway, where endless people passed by in speeding cars. Many looked but few saw me, like an old eagle fallen to the ground. Some children pointed in my direction; some teenagers laughed and made humiliating gestures. To most, I remained as I had always been—an invisible presence passing among them.…

Benefits of Japa - (Continuous Chanting of a Mantra)

Dear All,

Japa (repetition of the mantra checks the force of the thought current moving towards objects. It forces the mind to move towards God, towards the attainment of eternal bliss. Eventually it helps us to have the vision of God. The mantra-power is hidden in every mantra. Whenever the spiritual aspirant shows lack of vigour in his sadhana (practice), the mantra sakti (power of the mantra) reinforces the sadhana sakti (energy) of the aspirant. Constant and prolonged repetition of… Continue

FLOWERS & BUTTERFLIES

Every fine word will fall. As a flower withers and is no more. As a bird falls from a poison sky. As a butterfly catches fire and crawls without wings to troubled death. The flower is the legs of earth that brought us here and weds our destiny to the wind. The bird is the shaman who sees afar. The butterfly, as commonly held, is the story of the soul that by some miracle of creation evolved into acts of beauty and is tortured by a love of death in the fire-pit of extinction. Every word of… Continue

A World Of Peace And Gifts

In this muddled, fuddled world of ours, where peace is all too often lost,
men aim to win the wars they wage, though most will lose and rue the cost,
leaving few marks behind to endure beyond the headstones of their graves.
But with the gift of kinship so much more can be had if we strive to save
and share the sparse resources at hand, not throw ever more away,
with little consideration of the needs of new generations on the way....

MIND OVER BRAIN

Mind has remained a metaphysical riddle for centuries because it inhabits the physical world like a ghost. But that’s a Western perspective based on our bias for solid, tangible things. We insist that the brain must be the source of mind because the brain is a visible object.

The Vedic rishis adopted the opposite…

Sources of protein for vegetarians

By Sara Novak, Planet Green

The first response that you’ll likely get if you decide to become a vegetarian is “but how are you getting your protein?” And as more and more people go veg both for the health of the planet and in reaction to the sheer terror that factory farmed animals endure, it becomes evident that protein is available in a host of plant-based sources. How much protein do you really need? And what everyday sources provide ample amounts?
