There is an illustrative tale in the Mahabharata. The Pandava and Kaurava princes were being instructed by their noted teacher Dronacharya. Today’s lesson was ‘not to become angry’. The 100 Kaurava princes were asked if they had learned the lesson and they all replied in the affirmative. The 4 youngest Pandavas replied similarly. When Dronacharya came to the eldest, Yudhisthira, who was being groomed as the next king of Hastinapur, he received an unexpected reply, namely, that he had not learned the lesson. The next day the scene repeated, with the same result.

There was a man who was abused when he as a child, not physically but his mother and father did not take the time to help him when he needed help and to be there for him during his childhood. Then later in life he had an accident and became a paraplegic and was not able to get around. But his unconscious anger was still brewing in the background.

Science has now shown that love is very important for brain development. When we are born we start making neurological connections in our brain at the rate of 1000 connections per second - Wow! And as we grow science has also found that the one thing that strengthen those neurological connections more than anything else is love. Not food, not exercise, and not deep breathing… just good old fashioned love.

When we see someone struggling, or when we ourselves are struggling, with some feeling, emotion, thought, idea, force of illness, or just feeling some pressure, we usually associate these with our internal experience of reality, but nevertheless, the fact that forces and influences come from outside, from our social environment, for example, does not escape us. People will frequently get advice to avoid certain places, people or circumstances as being a ‘bad influence’ on them. Some of this influence is overt, directed pressure, whether we call it the press of circumstances or peer pressure.

We all living beings are dependent on each other, not only for meeting our basic needs of survival, but also for our physical, mental and emotional well-being. We are happy when we have good worldly comforts and healthy relationships with our near and dear ones; but feel unhappy when there is dearth of desired material objects or there is instability in any of our relationships in life. This leads one to wonder if it is possible to be happy without depending on anyone. If yes

Who would’ve known that by attending a fund raiser on a cold evening in March ten years ago, was about to be the catalyst for spiritual growth and self discovery. That evening as I casually walked passed several tables with items to bid on, something caught my eye as I looked down directly in front of me. It read, ‘A weekend stay at Clare’s Well Retreat Center’. . I actually had no idea what I was getting myself into. All I could think about was having

At some point in their spiritual quest, seekers are generally confronted with the question of ‘fasting’. Some paths recommend fasting as a method to lighten the heaviness of the ‘earth consciousness’ and make the being more receptive to higher vibrational energies. Some point out that fasting aids in achieving a ‘vision quest’. Some practice fasting to habituate the body to become less reliant on the material energy and switch its source of energy to higher vital and eventually spiritual realms.

"At that point the Spirit sent him out toward the desert. He stayed in the wasteland forty days, put to the test there by Satan. He was with the wild beasts, and angels waited on him." - The Gospel of Mark "I can resist everything...except for temptation." - Oscar Wilde I strain to see through the descending twilight. "How much farther big brother?" Jesus of Nazareth turns and smiles "just a little more." Then he holds up his hand, motioning for me to stop. He lowers himself

Question for Deepak: I am 43, female American, Hispanic, raised in a Catholic family. Since early childhood, I've had doubts in the teachings of the Church. At 10, I felt that the Sister teaching catechism class was "lying" to me, expecting the children to believe the bible stories she taught as if they were true. As a teenager, I attended the churches of my friends, seeking words that would make some sense to me and found none. I feel guilty that, in my heart, I am not a Chr

Jealousy is one of those deeply rooted vital reactions that are not amenable to being “convinced” to change by mental logic. Highly educated, refined individuals are also subject to jealousy when appropriate circumstances arise, and as with other such deeply rooted reactions, the vital overpowers the mental will.

As human beings, we are enamored of dynamic power. We want “action” and the powers of the body, the life energy and the mind are prized when they can accomplish visible results. We have proverbs such as “might makes right” which make it seem like strength in action is the most positive attribute. We carry this viewpoint into everyday interactions. If we feel challenged, we tend to respond with an aggressive, active response. The Old Testament of the Bible sets forth the idea of “an eye for an eye” as a way to respond to actions of others.

“In Fact, It Creates a Terrible Life” I had a person come to me yesterday that lives in the UK, she is upset with her life and she was putting herself down. Almost every word out of her mouth was a negative thought about herself. Does Negative Self-Talk Help? When we have negative self-talk going on all the time we start a downward spiral of thinking. If we say “I Am Not Pretty” or “I Will Never Get Married” or “I Will Never Have Kids” and on and on. Where do you think that kind of thinking leads? We are Impressing Negative Self-Talk on our Unconscious Mind

If we look at the world from the perspective of love then everything that comes our way is always for our highest good. But are we willing to see life that way?

Every single day that we go out into the world we broadcast a message to everyone about who we are and what we stand for. But much of the time we are not conscious of what we are doing and thus our message is counter acted in many ways. Here is what we can do to take control of our message, and be powerful, and spread love.

Burn out can happen to anyone whether you are a highly successful parent, business man or woman, combat veteran, military spouse, caregiver, student. Let me put it this way, if you are living and breathing you are susceptible to burn out.

If we understand the Navkar mantra correctly and chant it without any bias or partiality, then our bad karmas will certainly shed and conflicts in our household will diminish.

Avoidance of suffering may be considered as a ‘negative’ status. Achievement of happiness is the positive pole of this continuum. Both states are rooted in the mind and the standpoint that the individual takes. When the scriptures speak of “evil thoughts” or “purified thoughts” this is not directly intended to be a moral judgment; rather it is a statement of the energetic source and impact of the thoughts that are entertained and held in the mind. Those that are based in the ego-personality and the desire-soul, that bring disturbance, enhance suffering and cause pain are ‘evil’ thoughts.

When an illness strikes the body, its energy must go to recuperation and rebuilding its basic strength. For a practitioner of yoga, as well as for those who have a developed mental or emotional consciousness, or an aesthetic sense, the recuperation and rebuilding phase can be irksome, as there is a desire to continue the normal activities and progress in whatever the individuals’ focus normally tends to be. We tend to begrudge the time needed for the body’s recuperation and we exhibit impatience and in some cases, we overdo the activity at too early a stage.

Questions such as why we are here and why is it that we are experiencing a particular situation in life kept hammering my mind all the while, until I found a much satisfying answer to it that ‘It is the result of our previous karmas.’ Merit karmas yield positive results like: success, satisfying relationships, or things that brings comfort in life. On the other side, demerit karmas yield negative results like: failures, negativity or worldly obstacles faced in life. WHAT

“Quantum Healing is One Thing that Modern Medicine Does Not Have” At one time, not long ago, when we got ill we went to see the shaman the village, the tribal healer, the high lama and other healers.

The other day a person said, “I had to speak up and get things off my chest, I was so angry at my mother I could hardly hold myself, but it really didn’t change anything”.

In our modern society we have come to a point of no return. We have taken our psychological approach of the growth of an individual to the extreme. Now we are seeing the outcome of that process.

Right now we have men with lots of knowledge but very little wisdom. And that’s why are on the brink of nuclear destruction. Our education system needs to be refurbished if the human race is to survive and thrive for thousands of years to come. But What Should We Teach? Here are a few recommendations that have been handed down through the ages in all the spiritual texts.

On the average we don’t acknowledge our greatness and we constantly worry about what happen yesterday and what might happen tomorrow. But we are made of nothing less than that which is omnipotent and omnipresent… and failure does not exist in the eyes of the Great One.

The first of the seven chakras of the human body is called the root chakra. Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means wheel, and the Sanskrit name of the first chakra is ‘muladhara’ which means root or base. As the name suggests, this chakra is located at the base of the spine, in between the anus and genitals. As there is energy stored under this chakra, the chakra is often called the coiled serpent. It is possible to revive and stimulate this energy by focusing on it through

A New York City businessman decided to avoid a service charge by replacing a seven-foot fluorescent tube himself. He smuggled the new tube into his office. But then he had to figure out what to do with the burned-out tube. He remembered a large dumpster at a construction site near his subway stop. So he decided to dump it there.nn He got on the subway that night, holding the tube with the end resting on the floor. More and more passengers got on the train and took hold of the

A Guru is the One who gives us guidance in life; who gives the right direction to our life. rnGuru removes the ignorance and disorder from our life, and brings meaning and discipline into our life. Without a Guru, one cannot progress! Be it a Teacher in school or a Master in spirituality, if there would be no Guru in our life, we would lose out in life, for it would have made life unruly and directionless. Come, let’s verify this through an Akram Science experiment: Assumpt

What is the difference between religion and spirituality--religion is a pathway towards God and Spirituality is also a pathway towards Him. However, their distinctions lie in their approach. The central idea of religion: Obey God and fear Him. The essence of Spirituality: Love God and also become another God. 1.) Love vs. Fear. Oftentimes, the fear of God is the approach of religion. It reminds us in doing the right and proper thing to prevent suffering in what the future may

There is nothing more important than breaking free from control. Be it the control of others, or our own unconscious control that might be leading us astray. And at the same time we find our true purpose, great passion, and joy.

I find it interesting, that during the 80’s we had people like Milken, Boesky, Seigel, Levine, and others who did scandalous things ripping off the public. And when the 80’s came to a close, people were asked what they thought of the 80’s and they said, “The Decade of Greed”— But has anything changed?

Here are three spiritual thoughts that heal all dis-ease. These spiritual intentions are are vitally important for uplifting the core of who we are, which creates a powerful immune system. Thus our persona is reborn with a new perspective which liberates and fosters harmony in every aspect of our being… thus dis-ease disappears.

We are nothing but love when we come from womb. At that point we want nothing more than to be loved and to give love thus we are perfection. When we are born we tend to embrace everyone and just want to give love and be loved. This is our true nature, we are nothing less than love. But as time goes on we are told we are less than perfect and we take on that persona, thus we feel that something is missing. But that’s not the truth, it’s a lie that’s been past down through thousands of years of experiential growth.

The primary reason why some people follow the path of monkhood and spirituality is because of their auspicious inner intents sown in their past life. These individuals have experienced everything on the evolution journey through their numerous life forms from good to bad, happiness to misery. Finally, they reach a stage in their life when they decide that there has to be more to life, a greater purpose. They sought for liberation, freedom from material life. So, they sow (lot

We spend as much as one third of our lifetime asleep. Many questions arise when one reflects on this fact. What happens during sleep? Where does the consciousness go? What does it do? Can we become conscious, or at least more conscious, of that part of our lives? Are there ways to prepare for sleep that help us to optimize the sleep state for the yogic practice?

These are exciting times. An evolutionary mutation of consciousness is just round the corner. In the history of evolution, whenever a critical mass of members of a species adapts to a new way of being, mutation happens and the species evolves. A new level of human consciousness is on the verge of emerging. It is just waiting for the critical-mass tipping point. nThere must have been a period, just before we became full-fledged homo-erectus, when some of us were still using ou

There are occasions where the practice of silence and a temporary withdrawal from the hustle and bustle of the outer life, to the degree feasible, becomes a necessary part of the sadhana for the practitioner of yoga. Yoga is, by definition, a change of consciousness, and it involves an inward and upward movement of awareness off of the surface interactions of the physical, vital and mental planes, to the psychic and spiritual levels of existence.

The momentum towards a new planetary consciousness has clearly begun in 2007. The many events that have transpired both for individuals, and for humanity as a whole this year, have left a mark of truth imprinted upon the collective consciousness. It is now clear to all who have eyes to see, that our individual actions as well as our collective actions are needed in order to avert the current planetary crises.nnHumanity's consciousness is beginning to transform, and you may be
