Love is All - Yanni

2009-04-16T19:03:00.004+05:30

'Love is All' is a part of the performance by Yanni in front of the Taj Mahal during the late 90s. Listening to Yanni, his talks either before or after his performance, makes me realize how much understanding this great musician has about life, love and happiness; one of the three most important attributes of mankind.Even in this video just before he performs, he makes a very symbolic statement

Women are mere domesticated animals in this Taliban occupied state of Pakistan

2009-04-05T17:12:00.011+05:30

Women are no longer women in this region of Pakistan; they have been turned into mere domesticated animals. After watching this video, you will see and understand much more than what my words could ever explain.From the news, I learned that this 17 year old girl was literally flogged by the Talibans for going out with her father-in-law. God, what on earth is that? Beaten like an animal for going

Pretending Masters Harm you Spiritually - Osho

2009-04-01T14:53:00.001+05:30

The enlightened masters have never used such phrases, such paragraphs, such long complicated sentences. This is the intellectual approach. One Zen master was sitting on the seashore, and a man came and said to him, "I have been looking for you, but life has so many responsibilities that I could never come to you. It was just by coincidence I was passing and I saw you. I thought, `This is an

Terror & Death :: Osho

2009-01-13T10:31:00.003+05:30

Terror and death are interrelated. If we were not afraid of death, the fear of terror would not strike and the world would not be so terrorized by terror. The earliest case of terror I remember is the Munich Olympics, where sportsmen for the first time were held hostage and the world was terrorized. The fear of death and a sense of defeat that the western world experienced leveraged the PLO as a

How Can You Give when You Don't Have?

2009-01-03T08:20:00.003+05:30

How can you give when you don't have it yourself? How can you make someone happy when you yourslef are sad? You teach of common sense, when you yourself seem to have lost your senses...How can you teach and preach, when you yourself seem to have fallen right into the ditch!You speak of love and loving, Sharing and caring, You speak of peace and peacefulness. But vengeance and hatred is all that I

Beloved friends,The only thing I would like to tell you before you view this video-discourse is, 'You cannot give, unless you have. You cannot make someone else happy, when you yourself are sad. You cannot love someone else unless you have learnt to love yourself first. How can you forgive someone unless you have learnt to forgive yourself......There is a big difference between being selfish and

Often, Little Things Says It All....

2008-12-15T03:43:00.004+05:30

Beloved friend,Often, little things have so much of power in them that if we have the sense to grasp and absorb it, it can change our life once and for all. A few years back I'd watched a Hindi movie, where in one scene, the protagonist makes a very stong point. I'll try and translate it for you. He says, "A single moment has the potential to transcend your whole life."In the past Zen mystics
