I happened to see a few hours of "Sadhguruvin Madiyil" webcast.

Ruthlessly demolishing people's ideas and ideologies and taking all for a ride in His own merciless fashion! If there is a bit of ego left in us, we'll sure run away from the place, for the intensity He displays. With His play of logic, He can make an utter fool out of everyone of us. Spell binding!

All that remains is the title of this post....

Hmm

Almost the first month of the new year is going to wind up. It's been quite tight since the new year began. Lots of work. And yes, lots of good news from the music world too (the Golden Globe and the Oscar nominations and of course Delhi-6 and Connections).

The coming months shall be even more hectic. Not just with office deadlines closing up, but with the preparations for Sadhguru's first ever visit to Seattle. Yes, in case you did not know, Sadhguru is going to be coming to Seattle on March 24 and is going to be giving a free public talk and it goes unstated that you MUST attend it, if you are going to be anywhere in this area, and that might be the best decision you ever made in your life. It is, for me!

More about the event, later!

In a sathsang during Mahima consecration...

Shankaran Pillai wanted to build a house. He met up with an architect. The architect showed one plan after another and Shankaran Pillai kept rejecting all of them. Finally, exhausted, the architect asked "What is it that you want?". Shankaran Pillai pulled out a small door knob from his pocket and said "I need a house that will go with this"

This story shall bear a great significance in the coming times...

The wise and the fool

One of the best speeches on spirituality, made by the wisest man I have ever come across, argued about by one of the most self conceited rabble-rouser who thinks of himself as one in 9 billion sperms. For the little brains exhibited I can't argue with that!

Quote

If something truly wonderful has to happen, you are not needed. If you want small, petty things to happen to you, you can do it. But if you really want something enormous to happen to you, you are not needed. If you know how to keep yourself aside, it will happen.

Gift of Trees

Dear Friends,

This project touched my heart and I wanted to share it with you.

Let your gift giving and receiving be unique:This holiday season and thereafter give a "Gift of Trees" to help heal the planet!

The "Gift of Trees" was designed by Project Green Hands-USA as an endeavor to raise awareness and funds for a marathon tree planting campaign in Tamil Nadu, India, initiated by Project Green Hands under the auspices of Isha Foundation, a non-profit humanitarian service organization registered both in India and the United States. Purchasing a "Gift of Trees" gift certificate from Project Green Hands-USA is a meaningful tribute towards your coworkers, friends and family as well as future generations. Kindly inform your friends and family who you know are environmentally inclined and would like to contribute towards the mitigation of global warming by giving and /or receiving such a consequential gift.
