What does a man fear more, death or life...
Lot of people (including yours truly) are struck with a profession which is not their passion. It is not what they love to do. They still do it because it gives "job security" or "good pay" or both.I love kids and i enjoy teaching. Teaching kids would have been my ideal profession or starting a school my dream.What prevents me from going after my d... more...

The Search
"Only a lighted candle can lighten another one" is what they say, about the importance of Guru. The fact that i am yet in the mire of ignorance says for itself that i am still searching for my Guru! (May be i already met him, there is no way i would know untill the ignorance is removed!) I have read about many Gurus and their teachings. Read about ... more...

Destiny Vs Free will
 During my trip to Ramana Maharshi's Ashram I happened to read a book based on teachings of Ramana Maharshi. In that, one disciple asks him "Is everything pre-destined?" and Sri Ramana says "yes".

Going by the hypothesis that there is indeed a purpose for life, I started pondering over mine.  There are certain moments in everybody’s life, moments of purity, I would call them. They are the moments of utter delight at something natural, something simple like t... more...

Our trip to the Abode of Ramana Maharshi...
This seems to be a year of travel! At least for me it has been so till now and i hope it remains so for the rest of the year. In January we have been to Sringeri, Udupi, Murudeswar, gokarna. In Feb we went to Thiruvanmalai, the place where Ramana Maharshi's asharam is located. Then we came to know that there is something called Girivalam or Giripra... more...
