Right next to the Samithi building was a large pond. The place was often the home to snakes and other creepies and crawlies. It was actually a Government-owned land which was supposedly meant for the construction of the DRCS (Deputy Registrar of Cooperative Societies) office.

Posted on: Feb 12, 2018

We will be comfortable.”

Spirituality: the Inward Path

Posted on: Jan 18, 2018

Every tradition talks of the deep connect between the individual and God. ‘Man is a spark of the Divine’, declares the Gita. ‘Man is made in the image of God’, reiterates the Bible.

The goal of every spiritual endeavour is to realise that God is within us, and that separation is the ultimate illusion. When we overcome ignorance, we visualize the inner Divine Effulgence, and this is the essence of the spiritual journey.
