Our Journey to "Oneness"

It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments.

But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...

What else will you find here??

Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you.

These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism.

It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to a "real life" level!!

Think of this guidance as "Spirituality for the Rest of Us"... folks who have families, careers, material goals & ambitions and so on... the ones who cannot simply extrapolate what typical spiritual gurus and guides say, when they live special monastic lives.

Each one of us may have different life situations but ultimately we are all ONE life and we all go thru these myriads of situations, experiences, thoughts and feelings at some point or other in time.

Read along and see how these lessons, insights and guidance can help you to chalk out your own path to 'One-ness'- where you are successful, healthy and Happy.

Do let me know of your experiences.

I would love to read about them and promise to respond as much as possible.
