Herein lie a collection
of rants, raves, and philosophical discussions. I don't necessarily
agree with all of the ideas I have posted here. Some of them represent
the evolution of my thoughts over time. However, they generally deal
with what I feel are significant issues:
Hinduism
in My Life : Dealing with Shocks
My article for the Spring 2004 edition of Samskar, this
one talks about dealing with the shocks of life. The discussion stems
from Swami Adhyatma Chaitanya's first lecture at HSC UF, on Shivratri.
Hinduism
in My Life: Understanding Values
This article I
wrote for samskar, starting from the topic of values that Swami Dayananda
Saraswati lectured on at the Global Dharma Conference. I was lucky enough
to continue studying the subject in depth with Swami Adhyatma Chaitanya
in his daily teleconference lectures.
The
Other Face of 'The Other Face of Fanaticism'
Well, it seems no matter where you
turn, it is impossible to escape from lies about India. In this rant
I attempt to take apart an article by Pankaj Mishra recently published
in the NYTimes.
The
Four Goals of Life
Why does everybody think that spirituality
has to be world rejecting?
The
Cult(ure) of Emotionalism
Does anybody else sometimes feel like
our society has become melodramatic?
Unfolding of a
Value: Why it's good to have a teacher.
Here I talk about the values amaanitvam and adambhitvam,
as I have learned them. I use this discussion to show practically why
it is important to approach this subject with a teacher.
This
website isn't just for me, if anyone else has something interesting
to share, send it to me, and I'll post it.
