How Can We Find Our Place in the World?
In pursuit of our goal in life and happiness
We all have probably felt the feeling that we could not find our place in the world. It is if a space was inside of us, which we would like to fill with the great questions of life: Who am I?

Mahabharata: The Great Epic of India and the Hidden Wisdom of Krishna-Consciousness
One of the greatest treasures of Indian culture is the Mahabharata, a colossal epic work that explores the depths of the human soul while telling an exciting story. Mahabharata is not only a complete philosophical system, but also the essence of Indian religion and culture. Vyasadeva (the literary incarnation of Lord Krishna) put this monumental work down in writing about 5000 years ago, at the beginning of Kali Yuga. It is the world’s longest known verse, consisting of 100 000 stanzas (sloka), 200 000 lines, and 1.8 million words. It is about 15 times longer than the Bible, and a lighter reading than, for example, the texts from the four Vedas. This is why it is a recommended reading for the ones just getting to know Vedic knowledge, as the exciting story appeals to us much more, than the bald and hard to understand philosophy of the Vedas.

In the rush and stress of modern life, it is easy to lose focus on the good things that surround us.
