Liars paradox
One scholar from the 3rd century B.C.E. was even said to have “‘Twas the Liar who made me die, And the bad nights caused thereby” engraved on his tombstone. It’s likely that we’ll never solve it either, though philosophers aren’t likely to be giving it up any time soon. This is a quote I read …

Buddha
Nowadays there is much talk on mindfulness They often try to climb to glory by quoting Buddha “There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people.

Media and their mischief and Meryl StreepÂ

Happiness
Shankaracharya, his disciples, Ramana maharshi, Kabir, Christian saints like saint francis, mother Theresa lived very simple lives They served and helped others. Were they happy ?

Christmas and peace

Shiv Puja. It is done with bilipatea This is what it looks like. Traditional However if you read bilvastaka it says the base is Brahma, proximal is shiv and middle is Vishnu! This is a great clue that the bilipatra is not a leaf but something else. A very advanced yogi knows what it …

Dichotomy or skill?
Only a yogi – whose shanti is fully awakened and pierced many chakra can know sanskrit and the shloka Every verse in Gita has a very different meaning. A few of them were exposed by Yogananda and Gyaneshwara maharaj This is what is called dichotomy of sanskrit per Yogananda. I see it as a skill …

Mindfulness – the liar
It has nothing to do with Buddhism or yoga. Buddhism and yoga talk about mindlessness – a state where the mind is no longer active. Mindfulness is a way of increasing mind activity in a specific direction. Generally it focuses on the body. I prefer less focus on body. Â Mindfulness – Anyone can do that …
