New Year Blessings: Keep Moving Towards the Light – Grow Those Wings & Fly

At this beautiful time of the New Year, it is the time when most people pray that the New Year will be easier, better, more successful than the year which has passed.

Diwali Blessings: Lighting Lamps, Becoming Light, & Welcoming the Divine

Dear Divine Souls, I hope that — by God’s Grace — this finds you in the best of health and happiness at this sacred and divine time of Diwali, the Festival of Light!

Boomerang Theory

This article was published on The Speaking Tree, here. The Gita’s messages are just as applicable in the boardroom as in the battlefield, says SWAMI CHIDANAND SARASWATI In the Bhagwad Gita, Krishna tells Arjuna to perform his duties without any attachment to the fruits of his labour. How can one put this advice into practice if one has to perform worldly tasks and not expect any returns? But this piece of advice is so divine and universal that it can apply to every situation in life — worldly and transcendent. The Gita’s...

Dear Divine Souls, I hope that – by God’s grace – this finds you and all your loved ones in the best of health and happiness at this sacred time. The 18th of June marked Ganga Dussehra, the day we lovingly refer to as “Gangaji’s Birthday.” It is the day on which we commemorate the time when, answering the tapasya and incessant prayers of King Bhagirath, Ganga flowed down from the heavens to the Earth. Ganga did not flow down merely because She wanted to, but rather with a very specific purpose –...
