The Past of the Present is in the Future of the Now

Shiva and Krishna are not opposites but complimentary. Krishna portrays the playful dance through the illusion of maya. Shiva portrays the profound stillness through the chaos of maya.  Shiva is like a circuit breaker. He allows the poison or chaos to port through him. He remains motionless and allows the disturbance to move through the space of his stillness till all disturbances subside and dissolve.  Krishna teaches of not dissolution but evolution through illusion. Both teach detachment. One from Chaos and one from Illusion.  Both paths are full and complete in themselves.  Krishna is the outer action of Shiva; Shiva is the inner silence of Krishna. One is not superior—they are complementary facets of the same cosmic consciousness. The stillness of Shiva roots Krishna’s dance; Krishna’s joyous play enlivens Shiva’s silence. Together they teach: be still to go through chaos, play to evolve through it. In chaos: sit in silent awa...

A Conversation on Awareness WITH RUPERT SPIRA(AN ADAPTED VERSION) Disciple : I think a lot about what it means to be an individual. Master : That’s natural. It can feel strange and even a bit random, yet here you are—an individual. Disciple : I once imagined reality like a massive dark wall with just one tiny hole. Through that hole, only one person with two eyes is looking out. That person sees everything through that one small viewpoint—and then thinks that’s the only truth. Master : Exactly. So the idea that we can ever be completely certain about things becomes a little silly, doesn’t it?  Disciple : Yes, I’ve given up the need to be totally right or wrong. It would feel so freeing to stop defending opinions or my place in the world. It is immature to defend that my way, path, viewpoint, opinion, religion, guru or school or country alone are correct. Depending on where I stand and what is my vantage point, everything changes. Master : That freedom comes when we become more awar...

दुनिया में हर जीव, मनुष्य को छोड़कर, लगता है कि वह अच्छे से मरना जानता है। अगर आप एक जंगल में चलें, यहां तक कि ऐसे जंगल में जो जानवरों से भरपूर हो, तो आपको कोई मरा हुआ जानवर नहीं मिलेगा, सिवाय उस जानवर के जिसे किसी शिकारी ने मारा हो। जंगल में, यहां तक कि शहरों में, जहां आजकल ज्यादातर कौवे होते हैं, आपको कोई मरा हुआ कौवा नहीं मिलेगा। सभी जीव जानते हैं कि जब मरने का समय आता है, तो वे शांत जगह पर जाकर शांति से मर जाते हैं। केवल मनुष्य ही इस बात से अनजान रहता है और वह मरने का तरीका दिन-ब-दिन और भी गैर-आदरपूर्ण होता जा रहा है। जब मृत्यु आती है, तो वे लोग जो जीने का सही तरीका नहीं जानते, निश्चित रूप से मरने का सही तरीका भी नहीं जान पाते। कई तरीकों से, बुढ़ापा एक बड़ा आशीर्वाद हो सकता है, क्योंकि जीवन का पूरा अनुभव आपके पीछे हो चुका होता है। जब आप मृत्यु के करीब आते हैं, तो यह एक अवसर होता है, क्योंकि जब शरीर की ऊर्जा कम हो जाती है और वह शरीर छोड़ने की ओर बढ़ता है, तो अपनी असलियत को समझना आसान हो जाता है। जब आप छोटे थे, तो सब कुछ सुंदर लगता था, लेकिन आप बड़े होने के लिए उत्सुक थे...

It was a magical evening—Coldplay live in concert. The stadium roared with sound and light, a shimmering ocean of human emotion. Fans swayed, screamed, cried, laughed. The band broke into Fix You, and the cameras panned across the crowd, capturing tears, smiles, and love. Then it happened. The Kiss Cam moment that jolted a thousand lives. The screen zoomed in on a smiling couple—Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot—seated close, whispering, laughing. As tradition demands, the crowd egged them on: "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" And they did. It was picture-perfect… until the faces went pale. You see, Andy was not married to Kristin. And Kristin was not Andy’s wife. But Andy’s actual wife was also in the crowd. Watching. Within hours, the footage went viral. Families shattered. Apologies flowed. Internet sleuths pieced together timelines. What was supposed to be a fleeting romantic moment became an unintentional public confession. In a split second, what was hidden became visible. Wha...

🌅  There’s a time of day that doesn’t shout — it whispers. A time that doesn’t rush — it pauses. A time when the world is still cloaked in silence and yet, something profound is awakening.This time, dear reader, is not just “early morning.” It is sacred. It is the  Brahma Muhurat — the creator’s hour. And those who rise with it often discover that life meets them with a gentle grace and quiet power . 🕔 Brahma Muhurat: The Creator’s Hour In ancient Indian wisdom, Brahma Muhurat refers to the period roughly 90 minutes before sunrise. It is considered the most auspicious time of day for spiritual practices, learning, contemplation and healing. Why? Because Brahma means creator or divine consciousness , and Muhurat means moment in time . It is believed that during this phase, the veil between the soul and the cosmos is thinnest . The environment is quiet, our minds are unburdened, and the prana (life force) is purest. Thoughts have more clarity. Intentions ta...

                My Painting of Ocean   In Human Design , my environment type is called Natural Shores — and this reveals a lot about where I feel most aligned, both physically and energetically. I thrive in transitional zones, places where two different worlds meet . Whether it's the edge of land and sea, a forest meeting a field, a riverbank, or even the boundary between city and nature, these spaces seem to feed my soul. I’m not made for extremes — not the depths of the ocean or the peaks of the mountains — but rather the balance point where contrast lives and breathes . What truly nourishes me are liminal spaces, those edges where change is always happening — where solidity meets fluidity, quiet meets movement, and different energies converge. Even in life beyond nature, I’m drawn to the meeting of opposites — the blend of science and spirituality, logic and creativity, tradition and innovation. I often find myself playing t...

A Historical Overview Tipsy Pudding, often associated with the British colonial era, has a history deeply embedded in the culinary traditions of the United Kingdom and its former colonies. Originating from the classic British dessert known as "tipsy cake" or "tipsy pudding," this dish was first popularised in the 18th century. Its name derives from the use of alcohol in the recipe, which was believed to "tip" or intoxicate the pudding, hence the term "Tipsy." The pudding’s basic components include layers of sponge cake or ladyfingers soaked in a mixture of alcohol (typically sherry or brandy), which are then covered with a rich, creamy custard. This combination results in a dish that is both indulgent and sophisticated. Global Presence As British influence spread across the world, so did Tipsy Pudding. Its presence was established in various regions, particularly in former British colonies where it adapted to...

Anhad Chakra is not one of the commonly recognized chakras in the classical system of the seven major chakras (like Muladhara, Anahata, Ajna, etc.), but it is a concept that emerges in more esoteric and mystical yogic and Sant Mat (path of the saints) traditions, especially those influenced by Nada Yoga (the yoga of inner sound) and Vedantic mysticism . Let’s break it down step by step: 🔹 Meaning of "Anhad" (अनहद) Anhad = A (अ) = "not", Nad (नाद) = "sound" So, Anhad means: "Unstruck sound" or "sound without striking" This refers to a subtle, divine, inner sound that is not produced by any external contact of two objects. In contrast, worldly sound (called "Ahat Nad" ) is produced by the collision or friction of objects (like clapping, drumming, speaking). But Anhad Nad is a spontaneous vibration — a cosmic hum that one can hear in deep meditation. 🔹 Is it true that when air and fire meet, they...

I always wondered if we are a shared being. I had this profound and humbling inquiry into the shared web of life, the unity behind apparent diversity, and what truly sets humans apart (if at all). I. Our Shared Being: The Biological Connectedness of All Life Modern genetics has given us hard data on how life on Earth is not a hierarchy of disconnected beings but a vast, branching family tree. 🌱🧬 Genetic Overlaps : We Are Not as Unique as We Think Here are some astonishing facts about our shared DNA: 🐒 Chimpanzees : Humans share ~98.8% of our DNA with chimpanzees. We're more like "kissin’ cousins" than distant relatives. 🐶 Dogs : We share about 84% of our DNA with dogs. Maybe that’s why we get each other so well. 🐀 Mice : Around 85% of mouse genes are shared with humans. That’s why mice are used in medical research. 🐿️ Squirrels : We share about 80% of our genes with squirrels. Same goes for many mammals. 🐸 Frogs : Roughly 75% genetic similarity. Amphibi...

Ra Uru Hu, the founder of Human Design, spoke deeply about the Bardo of Death, a term borrowed from Tibetan Buddhism. His views are a synthesis of esoteric knowledge, mechanics of the bodygraph, neutrino information, and his own mystical encounter in 1987. Here's a lucid summary of what he said regarding death, birthing, and life after death, in sequence: 🔹 1. Bardo of Death – The Transitional State Ra used the term bardo to describe the liminal space between death and rebirth—the inter-life period. This echoes the Tibetan Book of the Dead, but through the Human Design lens, it has its own energetic mechanics. At the moment of death, the bodygraph (which charts how the Design Crystal and Personality Crystal are embodied) dismantles. The Design Crystal (linked to the body and unconscious) and the Personality Crystal (linked to consciousness) separate from the magnetic monopole , which held them together during life. This dismantling is not painful; it’s a release, a di...

We spend our lives decorating the house of the body, tending to it like a sacred monument. But rarely do we pause to ask: Who is the one living inside? And what happens when the resident leaves? Sadhguru’s Death: An Inside Story isn’t just a book. It’s a dismantling — of illusions, fears, and the superficial narratives we carry about life’s final moment. It is the first book I’ve read where death is not spoken of in hushed tones or romantic metaphors, but as a real, vibrant process — scientific, mystical, and deeply compassionate. The Ultimate Truth: Everyone Dies. Not Everyone Lives Consciously . Sadhguru begins with a stark but liberating premise: Death is not the opposite of life, but of birth. Life is not yours. It is on lease. That hit me. We often behave like permanent residents in a world where everything — the breath, the body, the relationships — is on rent. When the lease is up, the tenant must leave. The wise prepare for that exit. The rest are dragged. But here...
