Missing Ilana: 5 years in

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 10:29 pm By Ambaa Choate

Every year on this day I write about the best friend that I lost in 2010. At this point my grief has settled into a groove. Time has healed me somewhat but I think the pain never completely goes away. I still think about Ilana a lot and I think about everything she is missing out on. I wish I could have shared the joys in my life with her and I wish that I could have shared more in... Read more

My Trip To India 2015

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 10:29 pm By Ambaa Choate

My trip to India is now just days away. This will be my second trip there. I loved it the first time. The moment I set foot on Indian soil I felt like I was coming home. It all felt right. (Yes, I think there’s a good chance I lived in India in a recent previous life!) I’m so grateful for the opportunity to return and to travel with my dad and several friends from my childhood. It’s going to... Read more

Scripture Study: Bhagavad Gita, book two verses 11-14

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 10:29 pm By Ambaa Choate

We are doing a scripture study together: reading along through some scriptures and discussing the passages. From the Winthrop Sargeant translation of The Gita... 11. The Blessed Lord spoke: You have mourned those who should not be mourned, And you speak words as if with wisdom; The wise do not mourn for the dead or for the living. 12. Truly there was never a time when I was not, Nor you, nor these lords of men; And neither will there be... Read more

My Reputation Precedes Me

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 10:29 pm By Ambaa Choate

I was visiting with a friend and his family last week. One of their friends was asking me a little about the blog. This friend of a friend who I had not met before told me that she asked her Indian coworker about the blog and whether he’d heard of it. He hadn’t but apparently his response to hearing there was a blog called The White Hindu was “Are you serious?” :-/ Well, in retrospect the people who told me... Read more

We are doing a scripture study together: reading along through some scriptures and discussing the passages. From the Winthrop Sargeant translation of The Gita... 4) Arjuna spoke: How can I kill in battle Bhishma and Drona, O Krishna? How can I fight with arrows against These two venerable men, O Krishna? 5) Indeed, instead of slaying these noble gurus It would be preferable to live on alms here on earth; Having slain the gurus, with desire for worldly gain, I would...

We are doing a scripture study together: reading along through some scriptures and discussing the passages. This is the eighth post on The Bhagavad Gita. From the Winthrop Sargeant translation of The Gita… 1) Sanjaya spoke: To him thus overcome by pity, despairing, whose eyes were filled with tears and downcast, Krishna spoke these words: 2) The Blessed Lord spoke: Whence has this timidity of yours come to you in time of danger? It is not acceptable in you, does not... Read more

Change In Posts for January

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 10:29 pm By Ambaa Choate

I’m going to be doing a lot of traveling in January so I’ve decided not to try to do posts as regularly next month as I usually do. It’s been over two years on this blog that I’ve been updating nearly six days a week. Pretty amazing I think! I didn’t know I was going to be able to do that when I started but it’s been great being able to share each moment on my spiritual journey. I do intend... Read more

Absolute Truth

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 10:29 pm By Ambaa Choate

You guys know that I have a lot of trouble talking in absolutes. I see everything in shades of gray and relativity. It’s been my experience that even so called “facts” are filtered through a human bias. But I do believe that absolute truth exists. I just don’t know what it is for sure in every situation or even in most situations. I talk a lot about point of view, opinion, and perspective. That annoys some people who are sure... Read more

Lakshmi: Everything You Need To Know

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 10:29 pm By Ambaa Choate

Lakshmi (or Laxmi) is the Goddess of wealth and prosperity: both in the material sense and the spiritual sense. She is associated with Vishnu, which makes sense because he is the God who maintains the world, so during everyday life, Lakshmi plays a big role. You may also hear her called Mahalakshmi, which is “Maha” + “Lakshmi,” meaning Great Lakshmi. When Vishnu incarnates on earth as an avatar, Lakshmi joins him. Sita and Radha (lovers of Rama and Krishna) were... Read more
