In the safe hands of an Avadhoota

Whatever I write below, has been personally read and approved by Avadhoota Nadananda. Flight was late. I reached Delhi from London on 25th of July. Heavy traffic. It took literally ages to reach Gurgaon. I had to attend a short program before leaving for the airport again. I quickly brushed and washed up. Since there …

A Day in Shirdi with an Avadhoota

I opened the curtain of my room at Hotel Jivanta, a fresh new hotel in Shirdi. Probably I am the first guest in that room. I am here for the inauguration of Madhuban Restaurant as well as Ahimsa Vegan Restaurant. Dawn is breaking. I am late to rise. I was late to go to bed …

Who is afraid of the TRUTH? (Part 2)

Mohanji probes further. What is the reality of the human condition? Is it possible to determine spiritual stature? What is the connection between the Guru Principle and the evolution of consciousness? A timeless tradition revisited through contemporary controversy. Mohanji leads us beyond mind, ego, and time-space limitations, beyond scandals which contaminate the inner space, to …

Who is afraid of the TRUTH? (Part 1)

Fuelled by the current controversy surrounding Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma), Mohanji offers his perspective on this and other episodes of history, urging us to look deeper, beyond the money, sex and power games, beyond the physical, emotional and intellectual illusions of the mind, and to cultivate an awareness of the wisdom behind timeless spiritual traditions such as …

Yes! I AM SHIVA

Excerpts from a  few chat conversations with Antonino Moreti (Italy). The full version could possibly appear in some Italian magazine, if it is worth it. 🙂 Anyways, this could be interesting reading for some. The tone of the discussion is friendly, casual, leisurely and certainly non-provocative. Just to introduce A.Moreti, he is a spiritual enthusiast and …

Beautiful Minds

A Dream to Ponder David woke up from a beautiful, profound dream. It was, in a way, both elevating and disturbing. He saw himself  as a boy, along with his grandfather who is no more, strolling down on the banks of a river. It was evening. Sun was turning red. Birds were flying home after a …

Encounter With An Ageless Saint of Himalayas – Part 3

Raman's path was clear. The loss of his closest family members did create a huge vacuum within, and yet, before dying, Raman's mother had given him a definite destination and a firm purpose in life to be fulfilled in the days ahead. He had firm faith in his mother's words. So, he decided to walk towards north. …

Babaji – Beyond Definitions – Part 3

Those who have 'eyes' will 'see'. Others will not, because they have chosen 'blindness.' In the real world, there is nothing to prove, if one exists beyond ego. There is no one higher or lower. There is no one better or lesser. All are equal. Just like in earthly life, spiritual life depends on the baggage …

The Velocity of Emotions

This is a work of FICTION. Any resemblance to those alive or dead is a sheer co-incidence. Emotions are always temporary. When we live unconsciously, life glides from one emotion to another. A man who exists based on emotions, will experience extreme turbulences in life. A man who uses his intellect more than emotions, will experience …

Attachment and Liberation

What are we doing here? Have we ever thought about it in-depth? What is our purpose? What is our mission? Why are we here? Where else could we be? Every man harbors these questions. These questions haunt us even more, if our path is that of liberation. LIBERATION!!! That is so beautiful. Liberation is not escapism. Escapism …
