  • Self Transcendence - What Does It Mean?
    Self transcendence is a concept that is incorporated into different spiritual traditions. In this regard we are seeking to go beyond our limited state of ego to expand our own consciousness.

  • Desire and Aspiration in the Spiritual Life
    Often we think that the fulfilment of desires will bring us happiness. It is easy to have the thought that, if we can earn a certain amount of money, then we will have the security and ability to enable us to practise spirituality more. However, often when we fulfil a certain desire, it actually only increases our desire for more material possessions. The nature of desire is that when a desire is fulfilled the more desires we generate.
  • Relationship of Music and Spirituality
    Music has a close connection with spirituality. Spiritual music has the capacity to enlighten our minds and inspires us to dive deep within.

    Forgiveness in one sense means being absolved of our sins. However real forgiveness means more than just the forgiveness of our wrong actions. Divine forgiveness involves illumination. Our ignorance becomes not just temporarily absolved but transformed.

  • Spiritual Teachers of India
    Throughout the ages India has been the home of numerous Spiritual Masters and Saints. They have each offered a unique message and inspirational example of how we might aspire to a more illumining life.

This is the supreme goal of yoga and spirituality; to know and realise our sense of divine consciousness.
