Here’s yesterday’s article from the Hindu, Vishakhapatnam And an older one which is also quite nice, from Coimbatore:
Guru Poornima movie
If you’ve seen it, you’ve probably guessed that the most apt movie for Guru Poornima this week is Kung Fu Panda; an animated blend of love, devotion and surrender, with awesome fight sequences thrown (I mean drawn) in. Saw it hot on the heels of the extremely refreshing and real Jaane Tu…making it a v […]
Happy Guru Poornima to all
Painting with Light
Haryana highways
First of all, a huge thank you for all those comments on the Indore dsn, and kudos to all whose sankalpa made it happen 🙂 The past week was a series of Sumeru Sandhya concerts in Haryana, driving through Sonepat, Bhiwani, Rohtak and Karnal.

Driving through Goa, one feels that God has truly been kind to us, giving us such a beautiful and abundant home. […]

Colin Farrell once again lights up the screen with his nuanced performance, and Ralph Fiennes enters late with a significant cameo. I finally finished a long set of courses and satsangs, enjoying […]
How do I feel today?
What are my feelings dependent on? They could change rapidly, yet some could linger interminably giving a continuous aftertaste 🙂 One could be in the most depressing place feeling elated, or in paradise feeling down. The mind is such an intricate mechanism, playing tricks on us each moment – a word from someone is enough […]
