  • Did you know that in different cosmic ages, Bhagavan Ganesha appeared as 8 Avataras to vanquish asuras and re-establish Dharma.

    We listen to the stories from the Ganesha Purana and Mudgala Purana about how these asuras like Krodhasura (embodiment of anger), Matsarasura (embodiment of jealousy) were defeated thereby revelling in and abiding in our devotion to Bhagavan Ganesha.

  • Like Arjuna (in the Gita), we too wonder - How do wise people, talk, walk and live?

    More than 200 years ago, Sri Mahipati wrote about the 'Stories of Great Saints of India' in his book, 'Bhakta vijaya' (the Victory of the devotee).

    Within each story of more than 21 saints are some details of their lives, rich poetic imagery that thrills the heart, some cultural practices, different places that dot the sacred geography of Bharat but mostly a devotion that bathes our hearts.

    On this Ekadashi, we embark on a journey to learn more about Sant Namdev, who lived from 1270 to 1350.

    Jai Vitthal! Jai Vitthal!

  • Meditation or Dhyaanam is an integral part of sadhana of aVedanta student-disciple. Since meditation has entered the mainstream, many wrong ideas abound and hence sincere seekers are denied its many benefits.

  • We wrongly think that the big ‘aha’ moments of epiphanies while meditating or during a retreat make us see that life is sacred.

    Actually, the simple prayers and practices that, we do every day help us appreciate that all of life is sacred.

    Spread throughout the day, all of these 10-12 shlokas and practices will take less than ten minutes and on top of it, one has sanctified one’s day.

  • Is there a stotram (devotional set of verses) composed by Adi Shankaracharya that laments one's helpless condition, seeks divine protection, surrenders to Bhagavan, lays out the stumbling blocks in one's spiritual journey and invokes the urgency of enquiry into samsaara - all at once!

    It is Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Karavalamba Stotram!

    Just as Prahlada, Narayana's beloved devotee was protected by Narasimha avataara, we too will be protected and blessed if we seek refuge in Lakshmi Narasimha. We look into the meaning of this powerful stotram composed of 17 verses.
