Shri Devdutt Pattanaik pens down some hard hitting truths of today's times. Another Sadhaka shares her personal journey of belief in the yoga way of life.

Aishwarya - Striving for perfection

We will discuss a word that we possibly should know: Aishwarya i.e. perfection. This is one of the four aspects of our personality. We possess what is considered righteous conduct (Dharma), we possess knowledge (Jnana) and we can also give up things (Vairagya). And the fourth thing that we possess is the capacity for perfection.

When to Do Our Duty: How not to slip into Adharma

There are many stories in the Vedas, in the Upanishads and in the Puranas from which we learn that human beings have to do their duty. This concept of duty is a very strong one. We are told that while carrying out our duty, we should not have emotions like anger, hatred, worry or unhappiness within us.

Simple Rules for a Healthy Life

Start the New Year with these - When I joined the training at The Yoga Institute, way back in 1966, I was eating without knowledge and discrimination. Anything and everything would do until I heard a talk by Shri Yogendraji, the Founder of The Yoga Institute, \"All matter including nutrients, are in three stages of evolution. The calcium in the farm ground can be likened to inertia/Tamas; the calcium in the bones of an ox, likened to Rajas, and the same in the bones of a sage likened to Sattva.\"

48 Days And New Habits: The Promising Period Of Mandalam

In many cultures, the idea of Mandalam, which is a period of 48 days, holds significant importance. It is believed that to ensure a new habit is fully integrated into your system, one must practice the habit consistently for one Mandalam. This concept has been passed down through generations and is grounded in the belief that it takes 48 days for a new behaviour to become a natural part of one's routine.

Svadhyaya - Using the Antarayas for our very own SWOT analysis

It is this time of the year again when we charged with the energy of the New Year jump into all kinds of resolutions regarding what we want to improve in our life. These are usually short-lived because we are either too ambitious and reaching for the stars in our goals or because we do not go about integrating them in a systematic manner.

Aging Parent as Cost Centre - Returns on investment are hard to come by

Shravan Kumar carried his parents in a basket to every pilgrim site in India. This story, which forms part of the Ramayana, is told by every Indian parent to illustrate what a good child, or rather good son, is supposed to be. But reality is often the opposite. The Takkala Jataka tells the story of the Buddha who at a young age starts digging a grave for his parents, after he observes his father digging a grave for his grandparents, while they are still alive. Of course, the Jataka, like modern soap operas, blames the daughter-in-law for the cruelty of the son.

Avidya to Vidya: Unlearn to relearn

The Yoga Institute wanted us to contemplate on our Avidya. I was amused. I had pursued twenty years of formal education - my pride, which had secured me a very well-paying job back in 1996. Could I have Avidya at all?
