Aha, so this thread is back. After the India section was closed, I thought this thread will never come back. I even stopped to check out the section, spending more time in NA section.

So get ready to have some input from me soon. Right now need to go and do my HW           Discover.Vote.Share() - http://www.beamto.us

this thread has opened my mind upto such an extent that i actually read up the whole book in order to understand things better. the connection between music, yoga, dance etc can not be denied at all. this is a wonderful thread and i hope i can contribute to this at some stage. keep up the spirit BOOM

So, met this girl who said 'Life of Pi' changed her life. So i have read it and i liked it? but it didnt change my life or anything. The book that did is the topic, but has anybody else read this book?

It is great book. If you havent u should pick it up.

Oh I loved that one. Wouldn't call it life changing either, but the idea thrown into it at the end can really make you think about 'perspective'.

Recently read 2 books by Chetan Bhagat. 'Five Point Someone' & 'One night @ the call centre'
Highly recommended light reading especially for Indians living abroad. Both books bring back lots of lafanga nostalgia.

I have read Life of Pi. Didnt appreciate the philosophy (Yann martel made me Yawn quite alot in the first half of the book) The Second half is a killer. GOOD READ

Recently i came to read Shantaram, 1984. I highly recommend the two books for the readers of fiction if they havent read it already

Quotes and poems from Paramahansa Yogananda.

Quote:
"Love is the light that dissolves all walls between souls, families and nations"



Quote:
“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.”



Quote:
“Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.”



Quote:
“Remain calm, serene, always in command of yourself. You will then find out how easy it is to get along.”



Quote:
“The happiness of one's own heart alone cannot satisfy the soul; one must try to include, as necessary to one's own happiness, the happiness of others.”



Quote:
My India


Not where the musk of happiness blows,
Not where darkness and fears never tread;
Not in the homes of perpetual smiles,
Nor in the heaven of a land of prosperity
Would I be born
If I must put on mortal garb once more.

Dread famine may prowl and tear my flesh,
Yet would I love to be again
In my Hindustan.
A million thieves of disease
May try to steal the body’s fleeting health;
And clouds of fate
May shower scalding drops of searing sorrow –
Yet would I there, in India,
Love to reappear!

Is this love of mine blind sentiment
That sees not the pathways of reason?
Ah, no! I love India,
For there I learned first to love God
and all things beautiful.
Some teach to seize the fickle dewdrop, life,
Sliding down the lotus leaf of time;
Stubborn hopes are built
Around the gilded, brittle body-bubble.
But India taught me to love

The soul of deathless beauty in the dewdrop
and the bubble –
Not their fragile frames.
Her sages taught me to find my Self,
Buried beneath the ash heaps
Of incarnations of ignorance.
Though many a land of power, plenty, and science
My soul, garbed sometimes as an Oriental,
Sometimes as an Occidental,
Travelled far and wide,
Seeking Itself;
At last, in India, to find Itself.

Though mortal fires raze all her homes
and golden paddy fields,
Yet to sleep on her ashes and dream immortality,
O India, I will be there!
The guns of science and matter
Have boomed on her shores
Yet she is unconquered.
Her soul is free evermore!
Her soldier saints are away,
To rout with realization’s ray
The bandits of hate, prejudice, and patriotic selfishness;
And to burn the walls of separation dark
Between children of the One, One Father.
The Western brothers by matter’s might
have conquered my land;

Blow, blow aloud, her conch shells all!
India now invades with love,
To conquer their souls.

Better than Heaven or Arcadia
I love Thee, O my India!
And thy love I shall give
To every brother nation that lives.
God made the earth;
Man made confining countries
And their fancy-frozen boundaries.
But with newfound boundless love
I behold the borderland of my India
Expanding into the world.
Hail, mother of religions, lotus, scenic beauty,
And sages!
Thy wide doors are open,
Welcoming God’s true sons through all ages.
Where Ganges, woods, Himalayan caves, and men dream God –
I am hallowed; my body touched that sod.

- Paramahansa Yogananda
- From Songs of The Soul

So Bikram Yoga is apparently the craze in nyc, and everybody in my office, black, white whatever is happily shelling out big dough to feel healthy.
Honestly, sometimes all u have to do is take a long walk often and eat healthy.
But apart from my crankiness, what sorts of yogic techniques do any of you employ?? if you employ any that is.

bikram yoga is hard core man.
i did a one week crash program to try it out and its done in heated rooms here in nyc...
so your sweating like a pig in a bloooy cobra pose with ppl in the tiniest of clothes all around you.
it was damn hard for me to concentrate for the first few days...and then the week ended and i had, had enough.

the only thing i have time/ patience to practice is my breathing exercises and meditation.

@ karma cola.---what is ur fav yoga pose ?

i liked life of pi.... was magical. The movie is coming out in 2009.

Shantaram was a great read...loaded with amazing facts about india which i being an indian had no clue about it. But then some of the events which take place r hard to believe and makes u feel he is so full of himself.

Found the ebook of autobiography of a yogi. Gonna read it soon.

GAS is the by product of stool so you wrong too ............ no marks to you 2
           To focus sometimes you need to spin hard on your soul's axis..... just don't ask how and what it means ;)
