Need For Self-Effort

There is a saying that if a person attains Self-realisation generations of his lineage before and after him become blessed.

Mystical Hymn

The works of mystics are not just great, inspired literature but expression of their coming face to face with God.

Spiritual Knowledge

There are two types of knowledge: that which is about this world and hence perceptible to the senses and the mind (Dhrishta), and the other knowledge pertains to the unseen (Adhrishta).

Bounteous Grace

Spiritual tradition accords the pride of place to the Guru as it is through his grace that a seeker of liberation can attain his objective. The term “Guru” means one who dispels his disciple’s ignorance.

Valley Of Stupas

The Krishna Valley region has a rich heritage of Buddhist art befitting one of the greatest centres of Buddhism.

Loose Rhymes, Fluid Funk

Best known for their 2003 breakthrough album Elephunk and a few years later, Monkey Business, the Black Eyed Peas (BEP) has moved on a bit.

The first thing that strikes you about Arpana Caur’s studio on the third floor of the Academy of Fine Arts and Literature, Delhi, is space.

A Rich Tradition

Bommala Koluvu is an ancient tradition observed during the Dasara and Sankranthi festivals.

Concept Of Maya

Vedanta describes the concept of Maya or ignorance as a veil that covers our real nature and that of the world around us.

Rhythmic Dance

Think of Navaratri, and myriad pictures like Durga pooja, Ram Leelas and images of young men and women rhythmically dancing in colourful and attractive traditional wardrobes instantly comes to the mind.

Ethics For Life Religion

Great texts are valuable storehouses of infinite knowledge and mankind has been engaged in the process of unravelling the riches contained in them.
