Happy Mother’s Day!
The ultimate divinity and the manifest form of the unseen Divine is the Mother Goddess, regardless of the shape and form in which one visualizes her. In fury or in frown, she is always the same protective, caring, loving Mother with a benign face and a blessing hand towards all.
On this blessed day, we show the first pious, child-like impulse and our reverence to our mother with the hope that we sustain it through our life. Happy Mother's day again...
Happy Tuesday !
Learning happens and true knowledge is gained only through sincere and tireless human effort. Enjoy the week ...

Happy Monday !
When the last act is over and the curtain of life drops, all that matters for each and every actor on the grand stage of life is how they accomplished what they set out to accomplish. The “Oscar of Life” and accolades that go to the last one standing are not because of, but in spite of, the trials and tribulations encountered in the epic journey called Life. They win the opportunity to have the last laugh at all the paradoxes in life! Enjoy your week !

May the convergence of Shiva (the Lord of Yoga and Yogis) and Shakti (his consort) on this blessed day of Maha Sivarathri manifest the primal energy needed to create and sustain goodness, while destroying apathy, ignorance, and untruth.
Om Namah Shivaya.

Is life is a game of chess? Are human beings pawns that provide entertainment? Do you think we entertain each other ?
With a multitude of challenges, staged allies and adversaries, competing priorities, strategies that involve deep thinking, red herrings, and deceptions along the way, and bold moves that trigger expected or unexpected events that ultimately lead to a checkmate, we can only speculate.
When the game is over and the last few dispensable pawns are out, it’s not the final outcome that matters as much as how you show up each day to continue to play the game. Happy Monday!

“There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.” - Paramahamsa Yogananda
Check out the movie “Awake” showing in Scottsdale Harkins, AZ. Also running at select theatres in various cities in the US. http://www.harkinstheatres.com/movieDetails.aspx?movieId=81456
Ancient wisdom says – “when the student is ready the Master appears”… if you are ready, it may be time to awaken with this great documentary on the life and teachings of Yogananda Paramahamsa.
Love to hear from you before or after you watch it - Enjoy the week :-)
Movie Details An unconventional biography about an East Indian Swami who brought yoga and meditation to the West in the 1920s. Paramahansa Yogananda authored the spiritual classic "Autobiography of a Yogi," which has sold millions of copies worldwide and is a go-to book for seekers, philosophers and yoga enthusia…

Happy Election Day!
Here is a thought for the day as you head out to do your civic duty and cast your vote for the Gubernatorial, County, and other leadership positions. Original verse in Sanskrit (Narayan Sooktam).
Om swasti prajabhyam paripalayantam
Let good things be bestowed on all beings and all of humanity
Nyayyen margena mahim mahishaha
Let the head of State and leaders govern justly and righteously
Go Brahmanebhyo shubham astu nityam
Let good, pious things become part of the learned in society
Loka samasta sukhino bhavantu
To help all in the world be happy and well
Om Peace, Peace, Peace

Happy Wednesday!
Birth is a conscious process in the evolution of humankind that signifies a new beginning - a window to the chance of a lifetime, the chance to fulfill your unique mission.
William Ernest Henley said, “I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.”
Each one of us is a beautiful expression of light and love. Let us use the skills, talents, abilities and resources we were born with to perfect ourselves and society, as we enable each other to make the world a better place to live.
Follow the light (of Diwali)… Engage your will to find your way to goodness… Know your unique expression of the light that shines within you…. Be the captain of your soul…. Enjoy the week! Namaste
10/21/2014
Nara-Narayana are always working for the preservation of dharma on Earth, Nara (humans) being the eternal companion of Narayana (the Divine). Just as it takes two to clap and two to tango, it takes two to deal with the human challenges that come in all shapes and sizes.
Let us make a conscious choice this week to allow the divinity of Nara-Narayana to shine bright and lead the way with love and peace through every thought, word, and action… as we circumvent all the obstacles encountered in the journey towards the light.
Happy Diwali to all during this week of the festival of Lights !

Happy Tuesday ! Be who YOU are this week... smile when you feel like it, laugh when you want to, and cry when you need to - just be honest with yourself to recognize each one for itself.
The Truth is never an easy pill to swallow... and living a lie can reduce you to being a liar. Be aware and be yourself as you enjoy the week :-)
Happy Tuesday! Cacophony creates conscious community... our feathered friends with a lesson on cooperation and productive planning for the day. Enjoy the week as you cooperate and work with others to maximize each other's productivity towards a sustainable world :-)

Happy Tuesday! Life is so full of choices… and we have the onerous task to pick and live by our daily choices. Take your pick on the plate ... which one is sweeter?
Pick the right and you are right! All that glitters is really not gold, so take a deeper look at every opportunity you choose. Enjoy your week!
Happy Tuesday ! Love the Fall and fall in love ...
Love that is talked and written about in countless songs, poetry, paintings, movies, and literature - with all it's do's and don't's. Everyone wants it, but no one knows how to get it. Serenading your soul mate is easy when you are two love birds enjoying the day. Love can be contagious - share it and spread the love this week :-)

Happy Tuesday from beautiful New England !
We create our Tomorrows by what we dream Today.... so dream on this week, and every day moving forward :-) Good dreams with the right intentions and actions can be powerful !
You never know when your dreams come true... Enjoy the week :-) Namaste
Let's make it a Happy wet Monday - even though the rain is creating havoc in many places. Every cloud has a silver lining, and as we break an 81 year old rain record in Phoenix, remember the song " rain drops keep falling on my head I ain't gonna stop the rain by complaining...raindrops keep fallin' on my head... because I'm free... nothing's bothering me..." Rain washes away the old and welcomes the new, with promised sunshine and maybe a rainbow after, if we're lucky. Raindrops merge with one another creating a beautiful mosaic on water and remember there's always a silver lining :-) Enjoy the week!

"Light on Life" is the famous book by Yoga Guru BKS Iyengar who firmly believed that "pe*******on of our mind is our goal, but in the beginning to set things in motion, there is no substitute for sweat."
Our deepest gratitude and respect for the Yoga Guru who touched the mind, body, and spirit of millions around the world by sharing his teachings to make the world a better place, through the practice of yoga on and off the mat. May you rest in peace and joy ~ Namaste

Paw-nder over the week...
The more you observe, the sooner you realize there is so much more to know and understand... a human spiritual guide may not have all the answers, but is an enabler for those who seek to examine.
After all, we know that to err is human – but to have the courage to acknowledge your errors and apologize is Divine :-)
Examine yourself this week as you look for your inner guide - be courageous to deeply apologize for intentional or inadvertent harm caused to others. Happy Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday !
Shared this morning by Dr Ananda Balayogi
"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." - Albert Einstein
Proposed Corollary from Prana Gyana:
The science of joy comes to play when the student can apply the knowledge as a creative expression of the Supreme.
Namaste

Remember being a kid? Don't just reminisce being a carefree kido... liven up the week with some fun things that take you back memory lane. Just be safe and enjoy the week :-)
Check out the cute toddlers in downdog -a great weekend doing yoga with kids at Makutu's Island in Chandler - an indoor, family friendly place in Chandler. Being rabbits, lions, snakes, frogs, zebras (?), and finally to the down dog was fun :-)
Makutus was humming with toddlers to little kids, to grown kids jumping on the bungee and running through mazes and tunnels !

Be sure to enjoy this week more than you did last week - speed bumps along the way are just so you can slow down, wake up, and smell the roses (or the coffee)... Happy Tuesday !
Happy Wednesday ! How often are you caught between a rock and a hard place? Be brave enough to jump off a cliff! Be bold to break free from what is put in front of you as a barrier.
Break a leg or (maybe a back) this week :-) At least you can say you've done your best! Enjoy your week!

Happy Wednesday ! It's been a week already...
