  • Context matters – Good for who? Good for what?

    I will always remember these words by my astrology guru – “Good for who? Good for what?” He mentioned this rather early on in our classes. At that point of our studies, us students often pester Guruji with questions like, “If this planet is in this house, is it good?” or “if this house lord Continue reading

  • Going with the flow, flowing with time

    Every season has its own unique “flavour” and experience. Every season has its own set of things to do, just as there is a season for planting crops and a season for harvesting them.

    Some wise words told to me by an even wiser lady:  Keep pushing on doors. Doors open when they are pushed. The door you are pushing on may not necessarily open, but another door will.  You never know which door will open. So pick one and push. And don’t be too fixated or attached to Continue reading

  • Human Existence as a Play

    Līlayā – playfully If human existence can be likened to a movie that we watch, then our souls are the actors, and our bodies and life experiences are the characters that the “actors” play. Like Tom Hanks playing the character of “Charles Noland”, the poor fella deserted on an island in the “Cast Away”. Our Continue reading

  • Anger is the passion of fools; it becometh not a wise man

    “Anger is the passion of fools; it becometh not a wise man. By whom, it may be asked, is any one killed? Every man reaps the consequences of his own acts. Anger, my son, is the destruction of all that man obtains by arduous exertions, of fame, and of devout austerities; and prevents the attainment Continue reading
