633 – Laugh and be free
If we can laugh at ourselves, we have won the battle with our ego. Laughter frees us and makes us feel good. This is a beautiful poem I came across and my dear ones enjoy it. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance, than a good laugh. It builds resilience, creative thinking and subjective well-being. Continue reading

427 – Freedom
Behold the dark clouds melt away,
That gathered thick at night and hung
So, like a gloomy pall above the earth!
Before thy magic touch, the world
Awakes. The birds in chorus sing.
The flowers raise their star-like crowns-
Dew set and wave thee welcome fair.
The lakes are opening wide in love
Their hundred thousand lotus eyes
To welcome thee, with all their depth.
All hail to thee, thou Lord of Light!
A welcome new to thee today.
O sun! today thou sheddest
LIBERTY! Continue reading

231 – Blessing to Yoga
“Like the rays of the moon
The light of Yoga is expanding
All religions, beliefs and sects
Are receiving shelter
Under the kalpataru (wish fulfilling tree) of Yoga.
Towards the evolution of consciousness
Yoga has done unforgettable work.
Yoga will become tomorrow’s culture
And will show a new way of life for man-kind.”
184 – Let us try to be like the wise old owl
A wise old owl sat in an oak,
The more he heard, the less he spoke;
The less he spoke, the more he heard;
Why aren’t we all like that wise owl.
Owls are loved by so many of us. We associate them with wisdom and solitude. Continue reading
