Ravana lost as he never had a Samsung Tab
No, King Dasharatha wasn’t really tech-savvy but he wanted his sons to be well-versed with the tech-arts of the day. He had made sure that they learn all the relevant martial arts, imbibe the pathways prescribed in the religious texts, and be strong in body and mind. He himself was a rather like a proactive...
The Scorpman is no more. An obit on Satya Sai Baba.
Let me begin with a few questions that I have been asking myself these past couple of days now. Is there a single-line or a one-word or a one-concept explanation of Sai Baba? Is it possible to ask just one question and look for an answer that will explain this man? Was he simply a...
Is Blogging A Spiritual Activity?
Blogging, like any other creative activity has both a spiritual as well as a demonic angle to it… so long as a blogger sources outpourings from within, it remains blissful. This is because he is ‘creating’ and any act of creation has the power to take one much above the plane of mortal existence. The...
Spirituality traces the contours of your destiny!
The most noticeable thing about spirituality is the sheer dependency it seems to have on words. One can discover spirituality pointers while sifting through the pile of books that are available or through the spoken words that the gurus that abound today or through the words of those who can convey half-baked truths of the...
Care for human well-being is paradise-engineering!
“I want to live in a world without money.” Will the above sentence lead to a spiritual evolution? It may, for an individual, but where many are involved, a bit of paradise-engineering may be needed! Truth is that nirvana depends on individual happiness and well-being. Gone are the days when GDP and GNP ruled the...
Just look around. Everything teaches spirituality!
Let me first add a bit to the title you’ve just read. Everything and everyone teaches spirituality! Every moment has that power. Every object leads you to it. You simply have to ready yourself to accept it. One of my favorite quotes is by Confucius: “When the student is ready, the teacher shall appear.” Read...
The secret that will make you live forever!
Spirituality is given a boost when an individual takes care of three vital factors to evolve into a better human being. That is the reason I want to share an interesting piece of information from a pamphlet that I have been reading. This pamphlet talks of a spiritual progression of humans. It is important to...
Spirituality – deadly practical, divinely romantic!
DPDR is a rather apt explanation of spirituality, whichever way we look at any of its implications. Spirituality indeed is ‘deadly practical, divinely romantic’ with a seamless merger of these diverse concepts! We can also call it ‘dimaag se, dil se’… to reach out to a world that spells happiness the way we want it...
Spirituality is all glitz, glam, and grandeur!
Why is it that the moment one uses the word ‘spiritual’, the mind takes off to the whites and off-whites in colours or makes a direct swing to the ‘bhagwa-vastraas’ of sadhwis and sadhus? Aren’t we being unfair to spirituality? Spirituality doesn’t say ‘hasta la vista’ to life and living… lets leave the phrase to...
Words create a spiritual high!
Some time back while reading a poem by Askok Vajpeyi, the realization came that the world rests on words and that it is words that create a world! It is through words that we achieve our spiritual high! Words have the power to reach within and also make you reach out for the sublime. It...
The power to change the world
Mother Teresa remarked: ‘Life is a promise; fulfill it.’ The way a better world emerges is one life at a time. Launch your intents with your own life, and let the goodness and kindness quickly spread outward from you. Imagine how the world would be if everyone became focused on the positive possibilities. By directing...
Unleash your imagination to be one with God
An American teacher remarked: “Nothing limits achievement like small thinking; nothing expands possibilities like unleashed imagination.” The universe that we all see is an ever-expanding entity and is the handiwork of what we refer to as the ‘super-power’. No, not one that has geographical boundaries here on earth, but the one that we know as...
