We bring to you the August Journal with plenty to keep you constructively engaged and informed to deal with the very special circumstances of Covid-19 that we are all facing at various levels.

The magazine this month forces one to reflect… Dr Jayadeva helps one understand how one can practice Saucha / Cleanliness comprehensively - physically and mentally, Hansaji guides us on the meaning and practice of Daan / Charity which truly begins at home with a new perspective of being thankful for the presence of a receiver. A related article on Gratitude further reiterates how it is a love based emotion that brings one happiness and joy. 
An article on forgiveness explains how forgiveness can lead to self-fulfilment… quote - Forgiveness does not change the past but it does enlarge the future – unquote.
By the way, it is Hansaji’s birthday month and we celebrate it in our homes during the present circumstances by praying for her good health and wishing her well 😊 

The Journal this month deals with our attitude and perspectives towards not just ourselves but our circumstances, our past, others and the society at large. We have a few articles explaining Ahimsa – Non-violence (in action, word and thought) and figuring out how to resolve conflicts within the family et cetera.
