Every thought from earthly to unearthly

What difference will it make?

I recently got involved with a project with the Art of Living. The project is based on the upliftment of residents of Dharavi. So, I just happened to visit the website of Dharavi School of the Art of Living. When I read this story on the site, I thought that this I would share on…
Peace of mind

I was wondering, peace of mind comes from owning something or being at peace is independent of owning anything? I was under and impression that peace of mind comes from achieving one’s goals for example owning a car. However, achieving one goal results in creation of another goal and so that may not be the…
Bit of commitment, that’s it!

For a month I was in a kind of self imposed exile from blogging. I had ideas to write yet as a couple of people earlier suggested, I wont be able to continue blogging with time. I think their ideas ‘kind-of-caught-up’. It is my 100th blog so I was thinking about writing something special and thus waited…

This is the story of Euro! USA employment numbers are not that encouraging, employment should be about…
Pocahontas – “Colors Of The Wind”

I heard these lyrics and liked it, specially few lines, thought to share it on my blog. Though, I do not want to take beauty of lyrics yet cannot stop myself from writing “…And we are all connected to each other” – this relates to interdependent co-arising “…Come roll in all the riches all around…
Bhavachakra – the wheel of life

On this buddha Poornima (Sunday 6th May), came across detailed explanation of Bhavchakra. I thought to share it on blog. Life seriously is a wheel, is not it?
