Can Hatha Yoga Be the Saviour of People of Our Time?

“Connecting the body with nature is Hatha Yoga. The harmonization of mind and body is pranayama. The harmonization of mind and soul is jnana. The harmonization of soul and God is bhakti. This is the whole yoga system: the creation of harmony.”

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.
