Do what is natural......?

First rays of light touch down upon this earth, life begins again ever so gradual. An old lady struggles on her early chores, Help or fade away and do what is natural? . Speeding motorists on the empty roads, this early day, unmindful of rules and signal, Surprised joggers jump aside in fright, Rage or walk away and do what is natural? . Parents with children in bright uniforms in tow, care and concern in their eyes so real, There, a hungry child looks longingly for alms, Give or move away and do what is natural? . Men of high status in their Gucci suits, Drive in cool comfort of a car so special, There, a poor old man toils in the hot sun, Stop or look away and do what is natural? . Evening of celebrations of a wedding, an affluent bride sits amid what is ostentatiously floral, There, a destitute woman neglected on the side, care or stay away and do what is natural? . Why so difficult to countenance human suffering, their penury, hunger and struggle, Or have we evolved so much to assume and accept, that which we do is what is natural?

Inner Engineering Retreat at the Isha Yoga Centre

Inner engineering - had heard so much about this program that I finally succumbed to my curiosity. Am also in a transition phase in my career and thought I had done so much of outer Engineering - Education, Networking, continuous learning of techniques and tools so felt it is time for some Inner Engineering. A three and a half day investment seemed quite appropriate as well at the Isha Centre in a scenic setting near Coimbatore. Here are some key learnings and insights for the ones interested….. First, it is a completely new journey into a realm that is beyond our normal logical, questioning mind. It calls for a leap of faith into a new dimension not easily explained by the axioms we are so familiar with in day to day life. However, it is done in a very "secular", non denominational, non-religious manner without pushing you too much. So well packaged and marketed in my view!! Second, it is an intense program both mentally and physically. You are in the program 24 hrs...

The Ultimate Truth or the ultimate secret of this Universe (Brahma Rahasyam) ?

Its 100 years since Einstein published his general theory of relativity, truly a path-breaking discovery and postulate regarding this Universe. It is one of the secrets of the universe revealed, in effect. Einstein has been quoted as saying that he stumbled on to the General Theory of Relativity through deep thought and intuition but did not derive it via mathematical logic. The equations and math followed later.  Many of our rishis or great thinkers speak of the same deep meditation and thought that helped them to decipher the secrets of the universe. They probably revealed it to us but in cryptological terms that we fail to fathom. And they shrouded it in rituals, images, structures and even the "mantras" - the holy scripts that we see, hear and even chant without knowing the deep secrets within. In the book, The Da Vinci Code, the secret of Christ's bloodline is deeply encrypted in many ways and unravels ever so slowly through deep meditative thought, intuition and ...

Need IOT more than SOBs at this time - Are you ready for the oncoming Tsunamic Transformation?

The title may outrage some but read on...... A pandemic like this is a great chance and as the sayings goes, "great opportunities come not when pianos are playing in the Ballroom but bombs are landing in the harbor". How are we going to prepare ourselves and exploit this great chance - by "Intelligence of Thought" or our "Smartness of Being". This is what I mean by IOT and SOB in the title! In these days of the COVID 19 pandemic, see too many companies and people trying to be "smart" or even "smarting". Hear of companies negotiating hard on IPs of life saving products, understand a large company just announced that they will suspend all payments to suppliers invoking some legalese in the contract. We can stop paying the little guy, we can take advantage of the powerless, we can be hard-nosed even with the Government as it has its back to wall with illness and death on its hands. Similarly, we could constantly tweet sitting at home...
