Yoga’s sages agree with the many religions and traditions that heaven does exist. And hell. My Baba named several ethereal realms: Pitruloka — the world of ancestors, Swargaloka —heaven, and Siddhaloka —where great beings remain. From there, they respond when we call on them, even appearing in yo...

You don’t even notice that you’re telegraphing what’s going on inside to everyone around you. But what about when what’s going on inside is wonderful? What about when you’re full of peace, or joy? You’re feeling open-hearted, loving, kind, generous, helpful. You don’t have to say anything. It sho...

Yesterday was the celebration of America’s 250-year birthday. I was raised with these ideals as the standard to live by. The phrase “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” specifically drew from Greek philosophy. But the ancient Greeks had two words for happiness. Hedonia is about pursuing p...

Musical notation includes a special symbol for silence. Variations on the shape indicate how long the rest lasts. In other words, silence is part of music. It is part of life. Every breath has a pause in it. After every inhalation, there is a brief pause. Then your breath moves again. At the end ...

Today we celebrate the 12th International Day of Yoga. Yoga is all about freedom, but not the type of freedom honored by our recent holiday of Juneteenth. Not economic freedom, not educational freedom, not social equity, as important as it is. Yoga is not about political freedom. It is about spir...

Yoga says you need to look deeper than where you’re looking when you look inward. When you’re looking inward, you’re looking at your mind or you’re looking at your heart. You need to look deeper into your own Beingness. Into your own Essence. For your own Essence is made of Divine Light. Your own...

A dancer has to find center in order to twirl. An athlete has to be centered in order to move the ball to its destination. You have to be centered to manage your life effectively. When you cultivate your innermost center, you move into life differently. You can even bob and weave when needed, yet...

Time is found in the sequence of events. When things are happening, time moves fast. When nothing is happening, time drags. When you’re looking outward for satisfaction, time keeps on ticking.

I’ve been watching them for days. What a sweet experience. I’m not wishing for it to hurry up, because if it hurry’s up then it’s going to end sooner. To cherish the moment as it is, without wishing for it to be different is extraordinary...

Oh, the most auspicious of auspicious days – the day I received Shaktipat was the most auspicious day of my life.
