[et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text admin_label="Text"]This review post for the year Vikram Samvat 2074 has taken its time. Usually, when I write a blog post - what I want to write is already clear in my mind. And then the thoughts get typed out smoothly or sometimes too many Qs and rethinking happens. Only rarely, it…

[et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text admin_label="Text"]I have been thinking about writing this post for a while, because I have *some* experience of staying long-term in an ashram (only a year, but I had gone without an end-time in mind so I kind of stayed there like a long-term resident).

[et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text admin_label="Text"]In any situation, it seems the best option is to DO OUR BEST. Whatever it may be.
A situation we like - do our best.
A situation we don't like - do our best.
Over time it does not matter whether we like or we don't like the situation. We just do our best.

[et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text admin_label="Text"]The International Day of Yoga 2018 got me thinking of how formal Yoga practices happened in my life.
It's been almost 15 years since my first formal yoga practice. It started with Kaivalydhama institute at Marine Drive in Mumbai. They have some very relaxing asana practices they teach to beginners with focus…
A note on my 3 month stay in Tiruvannamalai town right by the Ramana ashram. The different sadhakas I met, being close to the Ramana ashram and the ever present – Arunachalam mountain watching over us 🙂

And in these days many people have expressed that they don't understand which path I am following now. I do the kriya practices of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev of Isha Foundation. And now I am…

[et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text admin_label="Text"]Lately a thread of thought is growing stronger in me.

The dictionary meaning of Infrastructure is: the basic physical and organizational structures and facilities (e.g. buildings, roads, power supplies) needed for the operation of a society or enterprise.

Obviously, there are multiple options in the market, but people aren't sure where to start. I thought a bit about it and have come up with a few suggestions.
Before that, a quick note on…
