Fasting for Enlightenment
Monday, 09 January 2012
Some controversy seems to have been generated regarding the recent fasts of the Gandhian leader Anna Hazare challenging the corruption in India. Here my purpose is not to say anything about the controversy, if any. The purpose here is only to point out that many ‘modernised’ Indians do not seem to realize how ancient a part of the Indian tradition this type of fasting is. It is still quite common in Indian families for a disgruntled member to stop eating and the whole family... Read more...

Gods My only Kin
Friday, 16 December 2011
Recently I discovered some old writings and scribbles of mine in the attic of The Meditation Center in Minneapolis, USA. The scribbles, this one going back to 1967 in Holland, included the verse of Bhrtrhari (in Sanskrit) and the jottings for a poem. These have now been refined here to share. Many in traditional India hold that Bhartrhari the scholar-king and Bhartrhari, the brother of Vikramaditya, the king of Ujjain, are one and the same. The scholars disagree on the identity of the...

Especially if the ill person at home has no one by his/her side and needs emotional support, more than anything? Attachment... Read more...
