"The kingdom of heaven is like electricity. You don't see it. It is within you." Veda Vyasa, Valmiki, Patanjali, and Ramana had one thing in common. Other than the fact that they were learned men from India, the other thing that bound them all was the word 'Maharishi'. Maharishi, a title bestowed upon by some of the greatest sages from ancient India, was also given to one more learned but more contemporary of Indian sages. It was a tiny little man who took the west by storm and impressed t...

"Truth is a pathless land. Truth, being limitless cannot be organised, nor should any organisation be formed to lead people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organise a belief. I have now decided to disband - The Order of the Star, as I happen to be its head.

"...you realise that all along there was something tremendous within you, and you did not know it." Perhaps one of the ways to describe Paramahansa Yogananda is that he was an Indian monk who gifted Kriya Yoga to the world. There are other great things about him: that he was among the first monks to settle in the US, that he was among the first yogis who were sent by his guru Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, to spread the teaching of yoga to the west, that he strove hard to balance between Wester...

"Ultimately, life is neither suffering nor bliss, it is what you make out of it." Sadhguru sets us free with this empowering thought. He says all human experiences are generated from within and if we learn to live consciously we can define and mould our lives towards happiness.
