Last updated on: April 22, 2013 at 9:15 pm By Desh Kapoor

The word yoga means literally means “union” or “to merge”. More than a set of physical postures or exercises, Sadhguru defines yoga as a science to determine the nature of who you are and what you want to be. Sadhguru explains that yoga means to liberate yourself from that information which determines who you are right now. If you can distance yourself from this information, then you’re moving into yoga. A great series on Yoga. To learn more about Sadhguru... Read more

Last updated on: April 22, 2013 at 12:09 pm By Desh Kapoor

Two interesting pieces of information on the Boston Bombers have emerged. First is that none of the Bombers (younger was less than 21 years old anyway) had licenses to buy firearms. Yet they had a large cache of arms to carry out many attacks! And this comes right after the Senate has voted against improving the background checks. The Boston bombing suspects engaged in a deadly firefight with police last week, possessing six bombs, handguns, a rifle and more than... Read more

Is the concern over US Debt paranoia and are we creating permanent unemployment?

Last updated on: April 22, 2013 at 7:02 am By Desh Kapoor

To place a lot of importance to the debt that the US has accumulated is to ignore the other strengths from which the US comes to table with. The impact of debt in case of US specifically is the sum total of its economic, military and political clout. Fortunately for the US, and unfortunately for the world, debt is not the only thing that plays a role in the debt-dynamics between US and the world. We saw that in the... Read more

The Jehad over “Jehad”: CAIRs “My Jehad” campaign and its counter by Pam Geller

Last updated on: April 21, 2013 at 1:06 pm By Desh Kapoor

A few months back, Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) started a “My Jihad” campaign that aimed to “legitimize” the word Jihad and also somehow take away the “stigma” from what is happening in the Islamic world. The idea is to deceive the Americans as opposed to establishing their version of Jehad in the Islamic minds. The ads took ordinary life situations – that in the first place DO NOT require any deep introspection – for example, “befriending non-Muslims”, doing exercise,... Read more

What is Rashtra Dharma or Duty to Nation: Chanakya-speak

Last updated on: April 19, 2013 at 3:04 pm By Desh Kapoor

What is Rashtra Dharma (or Duty to your Nation)? Is it sucking up to the dynasties? Or is it Unity, integrity, security and prosperity of your mother-land? Chanakya deals with these questions very effectively in this one interaction. Whatever he says is still relevant… just replace Nand-vansh with Gandhi dynasty. Same thing. And honestly, this is the issue I have with Dr. Manmohan Singh. Nothing has put him down in my eyes more than how he has collaborated with the... Read more
