Our inherent brilliance
Sometimes in our sleep or unexpected moments we get back in touch with the 'happiest' version within or as some people call 'child within' - this point of reference lies deep within, often covered with layers of anger, resentment, grudges and buried away to avoid hurt and disappointments. Sometimes buried so deep away that we... Continue Reading →
Being Extraordinary
One's 'extraordinariness' lies in the ability to truly comprehend how ordinary we are with all our fears and dreams. Understanding that all desires, temptations & feelings that arise within us have been experienced by many others as well. May we use this understanding in relating to others better, may we use this to have more... Continue Reading →
Giving more of ourselves
Not receiving love in life causes great suffering & pain. We all know how damaging it can be to be devoid of love & affection. As a result we become dependent on others for our emotional wellbeing and a sense of belonging. Therefore at a subconscious level we do whatever we can to be loved,... Continue Reading →
The buried jewel within

Become a rebel
In a world where everyone wants you to be someone else, staying true to your call is almost an act of rebellion. Walking the path of authenticity, of what is true to your heart is by no means an easy task. Daily responsibilities and chores begin gnawing at us the moment we open our eyes... Continue Reading →
The world makes no sense
When we see the world in motion we realise that the workings are rather arbitrary in nature. There doesn't seem to be any 'logic' in it's running. Some people are making millions, while kids are dying of cancer, to countries at war and celebrity affairs making headlines. To wake up to this madness everyday is sensory... Continue Reading →
Renunciation
Practicing renunciation doesn't always mean leaving world affairs and retreating to a forest. Renunciation can also mean dropping your opinion, views, prejudices & having the ability to drop your problems, lowering your guard & emptying your mind - even momentarily Lotus Seed
Learning to pause
Imagine you are running late for work and rush to your car only to find a flat tyre. How would you feel? Probably many shades of negative emotions will arise from anger to the universe conspiring against you. Now imagine, you wake up in the morning to find you won millions of dollars in the...

Dharma practice
The real dharma practice does not happen while meditating on the yoga mat, rather once you get off the yoga mat & go about in your day to day life - in everyday struggles. The essence of teaching is to stop yourself from closing down every time something goes against your wishes & expectations -... Continue Reading →

After consciously becoming aware of this unsettledness one starts to make many endeavors to fulfill it - new possessions or new experiences …... Continue Reading →

True belonging
“True belonging is not passive. It's not the belonging that comes with just joining a group. It's not fitting in or pretending or selling out because it's safer. It's a practice that requires us to be vulnerable, get uncomfortable, and learn how to be present with people without sacrificing who we are. We want true... Continue Reading →
We reminisce upon past replaying & unwittingly relishing stories of victimhood over and over again. Bored out of our minds we keep gathering self pity that we have never truly been understood & have suffered incomparable pain. Looking upon the world with jaded eyes we almost demand a certificate of wisdom & spirituality in return... Continue Reading →
Everyday Spiritual Life
My take on 'Everyday Spiritual Life' is the understanding that nothing exists in isolation - no person or event is an island to itself. This awareness helps in looking at people and situations with more compassion & understanding; such as why is the person being 'mean' to me as inherently he has same Buddha Nature...

Trying to keep it together
The majority of stress in our life seems to come from trying to keep it all together. We stress daily about jobs,money, loved ones, our future and so on - however when we look upon our life we realise that things come together and then fall apart...and then come back together again only to fall...
