True Religion

Religion forms an integral part of any individual irrespective of which religion one truly believes in. Through the ages, religion has always served as school of thought that was employed to inculcate a sense of ethics, morals and values in people. Man in a social animal; but still an animal in his very essence. Thus the qualities that essentially differentiates a man from an animal is his discerning intellect and his somewhat diminished sense of instinct. Animals are ruled by instinct alone, but in man that instinct is somewhat dimunitively manifested. This enables him to function more efficiently and survive more amicably in society.

True Satsang

Satsang is probably one of the most misunderstood concepts in modern-day spirituality. In today’s world of consumerism, when people are on the constant look-out for quick fix solutions to their destructive way of life, any form of satsang comes as a reprieve.

The Way to Live

Many times people are at a loss when it comes to making certain decisions in life. People necessarily are torn between good and bad. Essentially when it comes down to it, we realize that indeed there is little in this world that can be completely categorized as being good or being bad.
