LIFE LESSONS & INSIGHTS

Have you ever felt completely drained even when you haven’t done much? I have. I remember sitting at my desk one day, wondering why I was so tired when all I had done was think. That’s when I realised something: it’s not always the body that gets exhausted — sometimes, it’s the mind.I also noticed […]

Have you ever looked at the night sky and imagined what it feels like to walk on the Moon? Or heard a story from our epics that made you ask, “How did they even think of that?”That’s what happens to me when I read about Chandrayaan and the Ramayana. These aren’t just stories or missions. They’re […]

Every time results are declared, it begins.The comparisons. The questions. The pressure.“You scored only 68?”“Why not 90?”“Marks decide your future!”Somehow, a single number begins to speak louder than our curiosity, our courage, or our character. Marks start feeling like trophies — the more you have, the more you matter. But is that really all we […]

We often speak without thinking. A joke, a comment, a tiny whisper can fly out of our mouths without a second thought. But have you ever wondered what happens when those words carry doubt, lies, or blame? I came across a story that changed the way I see speech and silence. It’s about a noble […]

Have you ever imagined what it would feel like to travel through time — not into the future with flying cars and robots, but way back into the past? Far, far back… to a time before schools, before cities, before even a single living creature existed! What would you see? What would you feel? Let’s […]

Maya, literally translates to an illusion or magic. Maya, means the deceptive nature of the material world, obscuring our true nature and preventing us from recognizing the divine reality, ultimately leading to attachment and suffering. It refers to the physical realm that we are residing in. Maya is everything we can see, touch, hear, smell and feel […]

ಜೀವನ ಎಂಬ ಪಯಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಷ್ಟ-ಸುಖ ಮಾತ್ರವಲ್ಲ, ಅನುಭವಗಳೂ ಮಹತ್ವದ ಪಾತ್ರ ವಹಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ಈ ಅನುಭವಗಳು ನಮ್ಮಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂತೋಷವನ್ನು ಉಂಟುಮಾಡುವಷ್ಟೇ, ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ಗಾಢ ಪಾಠವನ್ನೂ ಕಲಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ಜೀವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಬೆಳೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಲು, ಮುನ್ನಡೆಯಲು ಮತ್ತು ಅರ್ಥಪೂರ್ಣ ಬದುಕನ್ನು ನಡೆಸಲು ಈ ಪಾಠಗಳೇ ದಾರಿ ತೋರಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ಈ ಪಯಣದಲ್ಲಿ ವಿದ್ಯಾಭ್ಯಾಸ ಪ್ರಮುಖವಾದ ಸ್ಥಾನವನ್ನು ಪಡೆದಿರುತ್ತದೆ. ಜ್ಞಾನವೇ ಜೀವನದ ಬೆಳಕಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಗುರುಗಳು ಈ ಬೆಳಕಿನ ದೀಪಸ್ತಂಭ. ಕಷ್ಟದ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಗುರುಗಳು ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶಕರಾಗಿ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಸಾಧನೆಯ ದಾರಿಗೆ ಮುನ್ನಡೆಸುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಶಿಕ್ಷಕರಾಗಿ, ಮತ್ತೊಮ್ಮೆ ಮಿತ್ರನಾಗಿ, ಪ್ರೇರಕ […]

As the warm days of summer vacation go by, I often find my little daughter, Charu, sitting by the window, staring outside with hope in her eyes. Every now and then, she softly asks me, “Amma, when will school start again?” And each time she asks, I feel her longing—because for her, school is not […]

The Awakening of the Soul: Yoga as my life experience When I first heard the word “yoga,” I honestly didn’t care much. I was just 10 years old and thought yoga was something only grown-ups did—just a bunch of stretching and breathing! My mother used to go to yoga classes regularly. Her teacher, Prabha Madam, was graceful and calm, and had almost 40 years of yoga experience. One day, out […]
