  • Becoming a True Buddhist

    The core of Buddhist philosophy is how much you have transformed from being a person who suffer to a person who doesn't. If you still suffer, your inner transformation is yet to be complete. If you don't know what to do when you suffer, you haven't event embarked on the journey of learning Buddha's teachings on life and true happiness.   

    "Only hurt people hurt people" - Remember this the next time you suffer, you feel offended, agitated or overwhelmed or come across someone exhibiting similar signs of suffering. Rather than choosing to stay hurt or hurt others, choose kindness, understanding, and love above all. Stay tuned for more such insights on how to live life, happily.

  • The Attitude of Abundance

    All the time, you are reminded of the past; all the time, you are worried about the future. In turn, all the time, you suffer, knowingly or unknowingly. But, is human life all about suffering? No, it’s actually a lease of life, an opportunity given to you by the Divine to free yourself from the cycle of suffering and understand the depth and purpose of life, which is eternal happiness.  

    Move away from the attitude of deficiency to the attitude of abundance. Instead of asking ‘what is it in for me’, be grateful for the things that make you truly happy. This change in perspective will free you from suffering and help you be truly happy. Stay tuned for more such insights!

  • Re-evaluate & Relearn How to Work with Nature

    Nature is all you have; it's your home, and you need to learn to live peacefully at home. Every encounter you have with nature, you need to ask what you need from nature. And you are served exactly what you ask for!   

    So, the next time, you are unhappy with what you receive from nature, try re-evaluating your ask. Reassess whether your ask is fair, would have a lasting impact, and more importantly, whether it will truly make you happy. Relearn to be in tandem with nature. Stay tuned for more such insights.

  • Get the Philosophy of Happiness Right

    If happiness needs to be maintained, sustained, and strived for, don’t you think it will exhaust you one day? You seem to exchange everything you own for nothing. At least, nothing that lasts. Things or people who make you happy today may cease to do so tomorrow.

  • Love Without “Ifs”

    Let’s face the fact that no one loves you the way you are. In any relationship, there are ifs, buts and conditions. So, all your life, you try to keep the face, try to fit in and adhere to others’ expectations, just to feel loved. You strive to do that and yet end up feeling unhappy.  

    So, if you wish to experience the truest form of happiness, love yourself the way you are. Because that’s how the Divine has shaped you. Stay tuned for more such insights!

  • The Broken Philosophy of Happiness

    We have always known happiness that comes at a price or suffering. We have all experienced good days and bad days. The worse the bad days are, the better the good days are. We believe that there is no happiness without suffering. We have been conditioned to believe in this broken philosophy of happiness.  

    Beyond this broken philosophy of happiness, something else exists – true happiness. A true sense of happiness that doesn’t waver; that doesn’t come with suffering in the equation. The real question is, can we break free from the broken philosophy of happiness and realise true happiness? If yes, how? Stay tuned to learn more!

  • The Cost of Pursuing Your Desires

    Just like the weather, desire changes. Today you may desire something and put your time, energy and resources into fulfilling it. Yet, once the desire changes or wanes, you feel disheartened and hop onto the next thing you desire.  

    So, the cycle of chasing desires continues. And, certainly at a cost. At the cost of your true happiness. At the cost of finding true fulfilment. At the cost of understanding that you are already enough and you have everything you truly need.

  • The Art of Problem Solving

    We often think suffering is external and there are circumstances or people who cause us pain and disappointment. We try to remove these sources of suffering endlessly. We try to master problem solving yet without any concrete results.  

    What if we knew that suffering has its source in our mind and just by switching our mindset or perspective, our view of suffering, its causes and outcomes will change too? Can it be the key to mastering the art of problem solving? Stay tuned to learn more!

  • Spend Your Time Wisely

    The world around you has defined certain activities and interests as the norm. You are conditioned to believe the same, and you continue to pursue these without questioning whether they are truly necessary for your physical, mental, and overall well being. 

    The tables turn in your favor when you begin assessing where to invest your time and resources. But how can you spend your time wisely and focus on what is sensible rather than sensational?

  • Stop Competing, Start Belonging

    In a world obsessed with being the "smartest," we have traded our peace for a relentless race of comparison. True freedom begins when we stop measuring our worth against others and start resting in our true nature. 

    Competition is a shadow cast by the ego’s need to be "better." By choosing compassion over conquest, we move from a state of friction to a state of flow. This shift allows us to stop boasting and start belonging—recognising that in our global family, excellence is not about defeating others, but about the quiet joy of simply being who we are.
