Hanuman seva
26 Sep 2008 This morning in the ashrams Hatha Yoga class, we practiced an advanced asana called “Hanuman Asana”. Hanuman was the chief of the ape-army who helped rescue Sita, the divine spouse of Sri Rama, from her prison in Sri Lanka. The teacher explained to us that the posture was named after Hanuman because, just like Hanuman jumped across the ocean to rescue Sita, it helps us to go beyond our physical and mental limitations to reach a higher state of being. After the class, while I was enjoying my morning Cappochino, I was politely asked by the seva…

Starting to make a difference
Starting to make a difference – AYUDH meets in Amritapuri August in Amritapuri provides a time for new friends and old friends reuniting. This gathering together of people undoubtedly created a sense of unity within the youth and some projects arose. The first of which was the Amrita Vidyalam Garden Project. The plants are flourishing so much that we have been asked to come back to the school and help the tenth, eleventh and twelfth year students learn how to make raised beds and then to transplant the plants from the rice sacks to the beds. A number of youth…

The birth of Gita book
How did this all start? Let’s see. Now we’re preparing for Amma’s 55th birthday, and there are many new activities that are going to be launched by the Math. An interesting thing that is going to be released has been in the works for almost two years, and I have to admit I doubted that it would ever happen. It’s going to be the release by the Asram of a book on the Bhagavad Gita, which is a first for the MAth. The book is a collection of satsangs held in the asram by Swami Kaivalyananda for the Asram residents,…

On the way for many kilometers you see rows of small plastic covered bamboo shelters on both sides of the road. The people have nowhere else to go as on both sides of the road, which…
