Kindness Is Manliness In Man and Femininity In A Woman
Friday, May 18, 2012
William Wordsworth, in one of his poems, listed acts of Kindness and Love as the best of a good man’s life. Of what avail is one’s life sans kindness to the world around…of what avail is one’s life that does not care for the man next and the world around, that does not feel the pain of his fellow beings…it is time for man to introspect, to inculcate the value and thus set himself free, for man alone holds the key for his freedom, writes Ms. Jullie Chaudhuri… read more »

With Two Teeth
Thursday, May 10, 2012
Does Bhagawan require a letter to get tuned to a devotee’s problem? Answer is a firm “No”. All knowing God that Bhagawan is, He does not require a letter from a devotee to get to know his problem. Letter to Swami was this modern-day Avatar’s uniqueness, yet another sign of His supreme munificence. Before the letter reaches Him, even before the letter is written, our Bhagawan knows the contents in a devotee’s heart. Prof. N. Kasturi writes how he personally witnessed such an incident inside the interview room proving Bhagawan’s omniscience. Extracted from Sanathana Sarathi June 1960.

LIFE – Love Infinite Free Eternal…
Tuesday, May 8, 2012
What is LIFE all about? Is it a casual occurrence to live and exist without leaving an imprint? or does it have any greater connotations? L-I-F-E is Love Infinite Free Eternal, a whispered Secret from the Creator perfectly echoed by Mother Nature. Memories are wonderful, of the beauty of Life with Bhagawan, living it perfectly as exhibited by Him, learning and discerning, granting LIFE its fullest meaning… a poem from the pen of Ms. Jullie Chaudhuri. read more »
