Going out to come home. Sometimes we get lost when we are found and some other times we get found when we are lost in a safe in-between spaces where we may have not noticed a twig or that chai spot where two buildings forgot to build a fence around. A sparked an idea could be sometimes the only reason why a person wraps a towel around their head in that particular way in just that angle at the mom...

Kabir das, in his poem, ‘Jhini Chadariya,’ talks about maintaining the fabric of our conscience as clean as his was when he was born. So would a peace-loving aikidoka or a normal ordinary human being by his/her/their practice of humaneness, like our body is designed to provision from our clawless, fangless, scaleless, minimal hairy human body. It takes something more to maintain non-violence, espe...

Our body is a conglomeration of rhythms of several kinds. Our activities of daily living, in consonance or dissonance with others, affects our body rhythms correspondingly. Not everything is in our control but our body functions by predictable rhythms to have an experience of ‘all is well’ at whatsoever level of truth there is available at a point in time. That’s one of the reasons why dharma sits...

In all the push-pull techniques out there in arriving at the best survival strategy for the fittest, ‘I am enough’ and ‘however I am is sufficient’ and ‘this is how I am supposed to be at this point in time’ goes slightly amiss and when we don’t have this we’ll enough, there is no personal ground to stand from and become better. When I can’t stand by me even, I am a liability in the making waiting...

Give and take all of the different flavours of experiences, it is your life you live {my life I live} with anybody and everybody being characters in the story that is my life. Having the body of a human being, in living consistent with at least my/your identities, ‘being human’ as an identity calls for at least being humane to continue deserving to have the identity of a ‘human.’ Having the body o...

Happitude is an asset worth having coz it takes something to maintain it without which fun cannot be had enough by which happiness can be had! It’s kind of like the holy water or zam zam or elixir of Life from samudra manthan added to your cup of Life to keep it fresh and spriteful. It’s a MITI thing privy to those who have original intelligence from being able to maintain being original. See? Tho...

Writing is also cathartic. It takes the mighty journey of getting an experience move through neuronal pathways that store memory to associate with emotional states and behavioural idiosyncrasies to get words from the brains word-storage boxes and then to move through musculoskeletal processes involved in transcribing that experience into written comprehendable word sequences. The whole process its...

Love is said to be a flame of yellow light where yellow light is mid range between black and white light, like a namasthe or Sandhya/twilight. Imbalance into white or black light causes sukha or dukha and both in imbalance leads to chaos. When balanced, order comes about from chaos and that is called a life. Just like how our body formed from All That There Is into a human structure, and has the D...

In my opinion, Rajya and the Last Dragon is really Sisu’s story on how she found herself and her connections in Life, kinda like my idea of Terabithiya. The story doesn’t really end {or, should I say, begin} until Sisu and her family dragons and people are home in Kumandra, which is where the story begins; the story is in maintaining Kumandra, not in ‘putting Kumandra together’ (duh). Sisu had los...

While we are breathing, clouds are getting vapour from the breath we exhale. We may think ourselves to be insignificant but by the very fact of our existence, we are contributing to having life be sustainable, liveable. How we live, over and above that, contributes to enhancing the beauty there is in the Garden of Life. We see what we can see when we open our eyes but what we can see is not all th...

Infinite moment of the present is really all that we see and live in with ‘what is happening now’ being that which marks the movement in time, like the tides on the sands of the ocean depth; they sift the sands and contours the ocean floors so is a witness of how time moved on its surface by the fact of the ‘scars’ that the tides left on it’s face, but those scars do not define all that the Ocean...

Eternal love is also Advaitha in that the bride and bridegroom are one and the same, where bride and bridegroom are representative of the masculine and feminine in eternal presence in and through everything.

Who you are, how you are, what you are in this moment in time determines the quality of your presence in this moment in time; the next moment it changes when you, say, have an itch that must be scratched. Every effort at improving the quality of your presence while alone and in a crowd affects the value you bring to that environment and consequently how you contribute due to your quality of presen...

The candle light or diya flame is a yellow light, which is a frequency of colour that is between white and black where the rainbow VIBGYOR is in between with all colours explicit in white and all colours implicit in black. I think there is an eight colour after Red that is a pinkish red from mixing more blue in red or deoxygenated blood from the feet veining up into the heart to get oxygenated and...

Babies are so proud of the crap they produce; that is their original produce, you know, made from the application of their whole body and being! Kundalini, I think, is the inner baby experiencer sitting deep inside where no one can see and listening and paying attention to what’s going on. The crap you produce is also that of the kundalini. When you begin to pay attention to the silent experiencer...

I thought I was one of a kind - the only one of a kind, like they either stopped making my kind or I am presently the only one of my kind - until I met someone as odd as for me to think ‘my kind.’ I got so much work to do that priorities get set and then life only needs be lived along tracks best suited to one’s lifestyle by one’s own determination. Until such time, a person is yet to have a mind...

IVI {Intrinsic Value of Individual} is the personal value implicit in a person, which can be enhanced by self-development. Self-maintenance is what it takes to maintain the developed IVI. People interact with us based on the value they receive in having life work for them the way they really yearn for. If you don’t like what is handed down to you, change what you are handing down to others; we onl...

There is always something that we, each, can do to right a wrong, even if it is hardly noticeable, in making the world a better place even for just one person at a time. We, each, can do at least one right thing at a time. It is in thinking that we are a nobody that to nobody that somebody, another nobody, gets away feeling uncared, unmattered, unseen, in a world full of busy people. We don’t have...

Paarvathi - paar lagane waali. We revere the names of goddesses but take little time to notice what the names actually mean, just like we hardlytake the time to notice the various meanings of our own names and of people around us. Masculine and Feminine as prakruthi and purush is present in each of us. The whole epic dramas and mythology is representative of what is happening within us and guides...

Samudra manthan is the churn within between Order {sur} and Chaos {asur}. There is no shortcut to any place worth going. Samudra manthan is a symbolic representation of what it takes to become a humane being, and it is in the capacity of everyone because it is what happens when we churn in our cares in the right spirit where we do not think anything is outside our ambit of care but at the same tim...

I am not what you think. I am not even what you have first-impressions about. I am more than just a set of random dots of impressions had of me over circumstantial chance-encounters. I am when you care enough to see beyond your personal lenses to who I am beyond those set of previous impressions. ‘I am’ is not just a personal complete statement for self-interest but a reference to the existential...

A geodecimal location is not just a set of structures and cultures but an experience also of its present history. Electromagnetic forces vary every square inch of Earth and that affects the experiencers in the location but not paying attention to this important detail in socioeconomic planning and lifecare affects the sense of well-being of the geodecimal goddess. The expression of divinity within...

Reparenting needs to begin with parenting ourselves the way our parents could not for whatsoever reasons. Parenting ourselves is what is needed for individuating into an interdependent autonomous citizen of Earth. #AathmaNirbharBharath

Another one on women. I think a person is never really alone in their body; I think a person has always a roomy sharing body-space whom we, each, need to consider and be mindful of, lest we fly off the handle and lose commonsense. It takes something to be humane; maybe this is why!

Real women are rare to find and are difficult to understand, just like life. There must be more than an obvious reason. In search for the elusive women who hearth a good nonviolent society, this Season on this Podcast explores, in bits and quips, what these creatures really are that birth life from between their legs. A new perspective sometimes changes how we have always been seeing things. Maybe...
