Meditation is not 'going somewhere;' it's diving deep here, this moment.

Shiva is chidambaram, like the inner sky. Shiva is the inner sky of consciousness

Today is a gift from God - that is why it is called the present.

Nothing in the world can bother you as much as your own mind.

Love is giving everything and taking nothing

If we sit deep in meditation, the glow within the body will brighten, and will expand and spread outside. That is Devi Puja

When all doors are shut and you have nowhere to go, that is when you go within. Every crisis is an opportunity and you are the beginning.

When heart speaks and heart listens, harmony is produced. When head talks and head listens, argument is produced.

Every moment you spend on this planet, remember that you are here for a unique purpose & cause, far greater than to just eat, sleep & talk.

For success in life you need yukti (skill) and shakti (strength), Bhakti (Devotion ) and Mukti (Freedom).

Love is preserved by wisdom. Destroyed by demand, tested by doubt, nourished by longing. It blossoms with faith and grows with gratitude.

A man can lose everything except the will to choose how to react when faced with life challenges.

The difference between a beginning teacher and an experienced one is that the beginning teacher asks, "How am I doing?" and the experienced teacher asks, How are the children doing?

the greatest learning of the ages lies in accepting life exactly as it comes to us.

Strangeness is the indispensable condiment of all beauty.

I was very shy, and it was a lot easier for me to communicate if I had a camera between me and other people.

Let no one think of me that I am humble or weak or passive; let them understand I am of a different kind: dangerous to my enemies, loyal to my friends. To such a life glory belongs.

You suffer because you try to fulfill yourself. You think of yourself in a limited way.

The truth is, we know so little about life, we don't really know what the good news is and what the bad news is.

There's no reason to yell at anybody.

I felt my heart breaking all over again. Why? Why had this happened to us? Why was the universe so cruel?
