Amrit Sadhana

It is said that once when Bertrand Russell was visiting the tribals of Ireland, he saw them dancing with abandon under the starry night and became very sad.

What is nur? It’s a way of illuminating the soul. It is only nur that defines the contours of Divine Grace. The limits of timelessness. The parameters of placelessness.

Sadia Dehlvi

Sufi orders are like spiritual families who follow the teachings of the founding Master. According to the Quran, all of humanity shall be raised for the Final Judgment with their respective imams.

Father Dominic Emmanuel

Visiting the Tihar jail occasionally, along with seminarians and nuns, who go there to teach and as social workers, is an enriching experience.

Ours is a society that owes much to the age-old temple culture. For centuries, people have been praying at temples in this country. But many still don’t know how to behave in temples.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

Right now we live in a world which we think is very competitive. I want you to understand that the world has always been competitive.

J.S. Neki

Humility is considered the first born of all virtues and it gives them solid foundation. It is a virtue that all appreciate and preach, but not practise.

O Lord, it’s hard to be humble when you’re perfect in every way, I can’t wait to look in the mirror ’cause I get better looking each day — these words from Mac Davis’ song are symptomatic of a modern malaise: I-disease. The Bible tells us that Primal Man, Adam, too, suffered from I-disease leading to the “Fall of Man” (Genesis, Chapter 3), which mustn’t be taken as a historical event but as profoundly true in its message: “Pride comes before a fall”.

In the second chapter of the Bhagvad Gita, Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna that he has become so engrossed in this relative world that he is allowing it to dominate his thinking. Krishna wants Arjuna to stand apart and then do whatever he has to do from a relative standpoint. For, from the absolute standpoint he is neither the doer nor the experiencer. He is forever free.
