Truth! The Whole Truth!

We as humanity are finding again at yet another year end, a time to think on all that we set forth or achieved in the last twelve months. A time of self-reflection and contemplation. As a group we are at the end of two years of very tough days of a pandemic. In truth, hasn't the pandemic forced us to concentrate on what is truly important in and for our life? I can see family and friends who are looking at their own life and dropping all the extraneous frills and tassels they have been carrying. Before proceeding any further, I want to wish all Happy holidays and a Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄 Most probably I won't be able to put another post this year. So, wishing every one a very happy and fantastic New year! Happy 2022! 🎈🎊 Wishing all holidays of joy, health and abundance!Image credits - Pixabay.com

Spirituality - the question of free will and personal choice!

This week let us take a stab at the topic of spiritual Hinduism. It has been trying to escape me and giving a chase for the last few weeks. This week, I am keeping it in the very middle of my bull's eye of intuition. Before that first, spirituality. We tried to elaborate on true spirituality last week. According to my dictionary, spirituality is to live according to the guidance and way of the spirit or our own higher selves. Further, nowadays I differentiate between the spirit and Soul. For example, I or you have this essence that gives us life. Without this essence we would find ourselves in a casket or underneath the ground. This we call as the spirit or life.

True spiritual practice!

I was planning to write a post on 'spiritual Hinduism' for around two to three months now. But every time a newer idea or concept would pop up in my head and I would push this post to the next week. Hopefully today it is the turn for the post of Spiritual Hinduism, I guess. If the title is different, we can be sure the flow of ideas took a different direction. The fact is every time I sit to write a blog, I keep my logical mind aside and become a vessel or pure channel for my subconscious mind, spiritual team and the Divine as aspects to come through. 

A dance of Astrology, Mythology, Philosophy and Spirituality!

Today and tomorrow (Thursday and Friday- November 18 and 19) is Karthikai Deepam where lamps are lighted in Hindu homes to ward off the ignorance of the mind to bring in the knowledge and wisdom of the heart. This festival is famous as Thiruvannamalai Deepam of the God Shiva, Arunachaleswarar in Tamilnadu. At this moment, let us all pray to God Shiva and his consort Parvathi - Arunachaleswarar and Apitakuchambal to remove the darkness and ignorance from our minds and bring in the light of spiritual knowledge and wisdom of the heart. Happy Karthigai, all!!🙏🙏 Happy Karthigai Deepam! Image credits - Photo by Sash Sriganesh on Unsplash Next week, (Nov 21-27, 2021) in the USA is the Thanksgiving weekend. I would be taking a week off to spend time with my own family and friends. I also at this time would like to wish all my blog readers an amazing weekend of Thanksgiving. May this week find us and our mind in deep gratitude and Thankfulness for the life, breath, spirit, Soul

Dharma - Something greater than ourselves!

Hello all,   Namaste! Hope all of you are doing well and vibrant. First of all, I want to Thank the Veterans who went and fought for their country the USA in many wars. Thank you! 🙏🌻🌻. Yesterday was the Veterans Day in the US. I wished everyone on Navaratri. Ten days back, the week started with Halloween and ended with Diwali. One celebrated in the US as homage to ancestors and the other celebrated to remove the darkness of ignorance and bring light into everyone's hearts. Both celebrations are now in the past. The next one knocking at the door is Thanksgiving, to show gratitude to the native Americans from whose land the country called USA was born. Let us look at all these celebrations. Can we see an underlying theme or pattern? In all the three festivals we are celebrating and respecting something outside or greater than ourselves, whether it is the Universal energy as Diwali, the ancestors as the Halloween or the other group who gave the early explorers a warm welcome to t
