I highly recommend the English National Opera showing of Satyagraha, sung entirely in Sanskrit, telling the early life story of Gandhi in South Africa and the foundations of his peaceful protest movement. The Philip Glass composition is beautifully evocative, mesmerising and meditative. Set design is fantastic too! Suggest sitting in the middle, rather than at the sides so you can read the wording projected onto the back of the set. Tickets are available until 28th October: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPCaxiZDvlE

Some food for thought: a clip
by the Hindu American Foundation (in the US), seeking to education people on the links between the philosophy of Hinduism and yoga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2nRK6Z_OWw&feature=youtu.be

Yoga. Karma. Dharma. Om. Namaste. Words that you probably know. But how much do you know about their root…Hinduism?

This is so beautiful!

“You know why trees smell the way they do?” Murphy asked, looking up.

“Sap?” Logan guessed.  “Chlorophyll?"
Murphy shook her head.  “Stars.  Trees breathe in starlight year after year, and it goes deep into their bones.  So when you cut a tree open, you smell a hundred years worth of light.  Ancient starlight that took millions of years to reach Earth.  That’s why trees smell so beautiful and old.”
