Bharat – The Power of a Name

Last updated on: January 28, 2015 at 12:47 pm   By Sunil Daman

A beautiful conversation between Kiran Bedi and Sadhguru about Bharat and India. Kiran Bedi: Earlier, it was known as Bharat? Sadhguru: Yes. Bharat comes from bha – ra – ta. Bhava means sensation. Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching are different types of sensations. Your whole experience of life is sensory right now. Or in other words, sensations are the basis of your experience. Bha means sensation, out of which emotion arises. Ra means raga or the tune. The tune... Read more

Yoga for Weight Loss – Is it Appropriate?

Last updated on: January 12, 2015 at 5:37 pm   By Sunil Daman

A great post about yoga and weight loss from Sadhguru. Reproduced with permissions. If you are doing yoga, excess weight will definitely go.

Mantras Explained

Last updated on: January 28, 2015 at 12:53 pm   By Sunil Daman

Sadhguru: Music is an arrangement of sounds to generate certain sweetness. Music is a fine arrangement, but still it is like the water flowing. A mantra is not that beautiful aesthetically but it is much more effective. I want you to try this out: Sounds of Isha has released a CD called Vairagya, which has five mantras: Nirvana Shatakam, Guru Paduka Stotram, Brahmananda Swarupa, Aum Namah Shivaya, and Shambho (“the auspicious one”). This was released with a specific purpose. Listen... Read more
