… That Reflected An Equally Awesome Spiritual Journey Inward To The Heart
This is the story of Robyn Davidson. Stories are the stuff of legend and myth, of fact and fiction, of scripture and holy books. They are also the very fabric of our lives. Stories can impart wisdom and knowledge, and even enlightenment when heard with the right ears. In this particular case, we have an amazingly great and wonderfully instructive story. Listen closely!

Rare albino kangaroos call Australian race track home
If you ever happen to be in Bathurst, Australia, you might be headed there for the “Bathurst 1000” or the “Great Race.” Back in 2009, controversy sparked when about 140 kangaroos were spotted near the tracks — with cars going as fast as 125 miles per hour, reports Phys.org.
But some have recently noticed some kangaroos that don’t exactly look like your typical marsupial — they are rare albino kangaroos. These fellows are a bit smaller than ordinary ‘roos and are a snowy white and gray according to The Telegraph.
Unfortunately, because these little guys are easy to spot, they stand out to predators and have a shorter lifespan. This March, children discovered the rare creature near Bathurst — and their father, Michael Collins, told 9news, “The kids thought someone spray-painted him.”
Daniel Ramp, a conservation biologist from the University of Technology, Sydney says it is unlike anywhere else — because the population is so small, there is a bit of inbreeding, which causes the rare albino gene to appear.

The 2014 eclipses are happening in pairs – on the new Moon and the full Moon in April and October. The October 8, 2014 total lunar eclipse (called the “blood Moon” by some) is the first of the pair. This total eclipse is visible in Asia, Australia, the Pacific, North America, and South America. In Vedic astrology or Jyotish, the lunar eclipse is happening in Pisces.
Some Short And Simple Answers
To Questions Concerning:
The Truth Of Life:
Where do we come from?
Where we are going?
Why we are here?
First we must properly understand the true context into which every human being is born.
Where do we come from?
All of Creation — the entire manifest universe — was created approximately 13.75 billion years ago.
Planet Earth is about 4.5 billions years old.
The duration of the present universe will last just over 34 & 1/2 billions years[1].
The cosmos was created out of a void of pure, undifferentiated consciousness — Cosmic Consciousness[2], which is all that exists in the VOID between the cyclic cosmic creations.
It is this Cosmic Consciousness which generated the primordial throb — known as the great Spanda — that eventually evolved into the current universe. This Spanda initially took the form of the primordial sound of creation known universally as the sacred sound OM.
Communities, too, are in great need of the knowledge of Radiant Living.

It’s the new year and we habitually set New Year’s resolutions. Quite often, at least one resolution involves our health. Ayurveda teaches us to live in harmony with our environment and thus have healthier lives. The following are ten simple Ayurvedic health tips to implement for a more fulfilling new year.
I am full of faith and place all my trust in the Divine – the Supreme Being and Almighty God.
It is very easy to lose faith these days. However, I know that everything is happening for the best. I know that everything is proceeding for the highest good of every living thing in Creation. When the inherent perfection of Creation is truly apprehended, then our lives can be understood as an outworking of that perfect order.
Although I may lose heart in moments of great adversity, I know that it’s always in these moments that the greatest spiritual growth and inner transformation will occur.
Self restraint = Atma-vinigraha
I live my life immersed in the Self, the divine joy within; then, self restraint comes of its own accord. Self restraint creates its own sublime joy with each act of self control.
Oh boy! This is a tough one, especially during an age that is so fraught with stimulation toward the practice of its opposite.
Not only that, but these are rough times for everyone. Truly, we are living through an extraordinarily difficult period of human history. In some way or another each of us is being stressed and challenged and stretched beyond our limits. It is in times like these that it is very easy to fall back compulsively on what gives us comfort, pleasure and gratification. This especially becomes problematic when such pursuits of the pleasurable are done in excess, or to the detriment of one’s body, mind or soul.
I live my life totally absorbed in forbearance – and cultivate peace and joy wherever I go.
Life on planet Earth is really heating up, isn’t it?! Here it is very hot; there it is very cold. In some places it is very rainy or completely under water, while other regions suffer from unending drought and years without rainfall. One never knows what is just around the corner that will test one’s mettle and forbearance.
This evolving fact of life is especially true in the more ‘civilized’ nations of the West where many have lived a relatively pampered existence. All of the taken-for-granted luxuries are now under threat of loss due to the economic downturn. Unlike the third world countries, which have always suffered from lack, many of us are now experiencing deprivations for the very first time. This emerging context demonstrates the need for me to be truly detached from the vicissitudes of life. Planetary transitions, with such profound and fundamental change, are never easy or without major challenges. Continue reading
