The scenery at the Mandir was perfectly staged for worship — the majestic rolling mountains, the earth coming alive with fresh green grass and spring flowers, the playful deer competing for food, the delightful peacocks always cawing – Maa! Maa! Maa! — indeed, everything reminded me of God.

The Bhagavad Gita is considered the essence of the Vedas and Upanishads. In Vaishnava tradition there are five jewels which surround the Bhagavad Gita: Gita Mahatmyam, Vishnusahasranam, Bhishmastavaraja, Anusmriti, and Gajendra Moksha. These five ornaments enhance the beauty of the Gita, and and create a sadhana which is a stepping stone to the Chandi Samputs.
The Durga Puja Advanced App is an invaluable reference tool to learn the worship of Goddess Durga. The Advanced Puja is significantly more sophisticated than the original Durga Puja Beginner, adding several viddhis and stotrams, including the Durga Sahasranam. This App guides the spiritual seeker toward union with Durga, the Goddess who takes away confusion, replacing it with stillness and clarity. The Durga Puja Advanced App is recommended for all devotees of Durga, especially for those who wish to keep the Navaratri Vrats.

The morning came quicker than expected, and we all awoke, showered, and performed our individual sadhana.

Srini and Ramya’s altar glowed with […]

These sanctuaries are actually […]
Our journey took us south to the beautiful Nilgiri Hills (also called Nilgiri Mountains) in the state of Tamil Nadu.

Tap….Tap….Tap…. was the sound of Swamiji’s walking stick as we sauntered down the cemented sidewalk that runs adjacent to the Ganges River. It was nice to breathe in the fresh air, which gently rolled off the river as if it were blessing us with its darshan. I felt doubly blessed this beautiful morning to also […]
