Who are we attracted to?

The question is, 'Why does attraction always lands up causing us pain?' Fatal Attraction', remember the term? The question is, 'Why does attraction always land up causing us pain?' In reality not all attraction causes suffering, and here is why? Attraction often called 'love' has commonly come to mean only physical and sexual attraction. This serves only the animal nature of our biology. However, unlike other animals who merely exist in two dimensions of the physical and the

But, there is only One River.

There is so much talk of God, that we tend to get confused. Who or what is God? Even though many claim to be able to define or know God, no one really knows, the nature of the sacred. The history of religions and spirituality is simply the story of how human beings at different times and in various cultures have struggled to understand and articulate their vague and intuitive sensing of the mysterious realm of the unknown which they call God. The sacred permeates through ever

Pursuing love ..

February 14th marks the feast of Saint Valentine. It is one of the most celebrated festivals in the Christian world and widely copied elsewhere. Caught in the intoxication of desire, love and revelry we are clueless as to the origins and significance of Valentine's day. Incidents become notes, notes become history, history creates legends and legends become myths. So it is with St. Valentine's day. The celebration began in ancient Rome as Lupercalia around 6th century B.C.E.

Where did her soul go?

We humans are generally fearful of death and fascinated by the possibility of our immortality. Gifted and cursed by our imagination we humans want to know what happens when we die. What is it that dies? Do we have a soul, and if yes then what happens to it when this body dies? No one can say with certainty what happens. However the real life story of my niece Harpreet could provide us a clue. The real life story of my niece, Harpreet. My niece Harpreet (name changed) was born

The hijack of morality by religion

What is meaning of 'morality'? It could be defined as, the distinction between proper and improper thoughts, intentions and actions. Who defines what is moral or immoral? As far as we can remember, morality has been defined by religion. By religion we mean institutionalised/organised religion.

Checklist to determine toxicity level of an Organised Religion.

Organised religion which have become toxic, can be identified by the following characteristics. Where there is a clear hierarchy and chain of command in the priestly class. Where the individual soul ceases to have any real value. Where the individual is an insignificant part of the mob. Where individual seeking, thought and action are forbidden. Followers must blindly and unquestioningly obey. Where women have low or no status, dignity or rights. Where an individual's life is

Modernity, Virginity and Freedom

Many people ask, 'Why has it been that every society has placed great emphasis on preservation of female virginity until marriage?' Most people believe that its old fashioned nonsense instituted by patriarchal societies. Actually its evolutionary biology at work, where every creature's primary biological responsibility is to successfully pass on its genes to the next generation. Simply put 'survival of the fittest'. Humans are much too complex and hypocritical so scientists o

Feel Alive and be Happy

In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of the famous craftsman Daedalus, the creator of the Labyrinth. They were imprisoned in a tower by King Minos.

He taught Icarus how to fly and warned him not to fly too high, which would cause the wax to melt, nor too low, which would cause the feathers to get wet with sea water. Together, they flew out of the

Grow from inside out

“You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.” ~ Swami Vivekananda We run here and there, flit about everywhere, seeking spirituality. Called by many names on many paths spirituality is often confused with religion. Religion has come to be known as the belief in, a human like male supreme being who pre-plans, monitors, protects, and rewards individuals and groups who please Him and denies a
