The greatest shift in your perspective towards Divinity starts with the realization that God lies within you, that your body is the temple within which God resides. Religion is too expansive to be squeezed within the covers of a book, because religion is all of life itself. It's who we are, the choices we make, how we treat people, animals and the planet. It's how we love, our sense of compassion, forgiveness, gratitude, grit, acceptance and joy. It is every moment of our dai

The most soothing sight in the summer is the lilac tide of Jacarandas, bursting through the sharp heat of the mountain sun. The most romantic, is to walk on a path lined by Jacarandas, softly showered by their pristine petals...fully aware of how that moment was created just for you. #mindfulnessexercise #mindfulnesstrainer #benefitsofmindfulness #mindfulnessspeaker #Mindfulness #mindfulnessworkshops #mindfulnesstraining #nilgiris #HealingHideaway #Retreats #top10spiritualret

In moments like this one wonders if God has showed up, or we've showed up for God. #mindfulnesstrainer #Mindfulness #mindfulnesstraining #mindfulnessspeaker #mindfulnessworkshops #7PointMeditation #guidedmeditation #ecotherapy #consciousness #God #FindingGod #spiritualpractice #Nilgiris #Indianbuddhists #meditationretreats #top10spiritualretreats

Glowing full moon on Guru Purnima! This is a tradition dedicated to spiritual and academic teachers, or evolved, beings who have shared their wisdom with you in a manner that has enriched or deepened your knowledge, or life experience. Though it's traditionally celebrated by Buddhists, Hindus and Jains, anyone can partake in this wonderful tradition. If you have ever had a guru, which simply means someone who has "taken you from darkness to light" (could even be a parent/ b

Many relationships are transient in our lives. They have a shelf life, there for a certain time, but always with a purpose, even though we may not see it without ample introspection. The purpose could be to bring us momentary joy, shine a light on our emotional chasms, hold a mirror to our hidden selves, highlight our frailties, our strengths. Or hard as it may be, to just teach us a lesson about people, life, instincts, and the myriad complexities of the human heart and mind

Be like a tree, forever evolving. Growing, weathering storms, breaking, healing, aging uniquely, gaining strength from stillness, staying grounded, silently gaining wisdom, and becoming immensely individuated. Become your own unique self, find comfort in your own niche, where you are needed and meant to be. It is a part of the Ascension process. #ancientwisdom #healinghideaway #ascension #spirituality #spiritualgrowth#spiritualretreats #top10spiritualretreats #india #bindiyam

Monk from Komik : A day in the life of a Buddhist Monk -- that was a documentary we made many years ago, to help raise funds for the restoration of the then-little-known Komik Monestary. Many lovely people came together for the film and its premiere at India Habitat. We brought the monks from Komik to Delhi, and they jammed with Nitin Malik (who also composed the soundtrack along with Raj K Gopalakrishnan), Subir Malik and all the members of Parikrama who came together in sup

Therefore we like to enage in ways where we can directly creat
