SMU BYC

Amazing words of practical wisdom!

"If we do not feel loved, it is probably because we are not showing love. If we do not feel respect, it is probably we are not showing respect. Human nature is that people reciprocate with what we give them. If we are impersonal toward others, then most people will be very impersonal to us. If we do not show care and affection for others, then they will probably ignore us. That is human nature. So many people say, “Nobody loves me. Everybody is so impersonal.” But I have not found anyone who extends himself to be caring, loving and affectionate towards others, and yet not receive love from others. How we behave toward others will withdraw certain qualities. If we insult others, we draw out their anger. If we praise others, we are going to draw out their pride. If we are affectionate to others, we can draw out whatever affection is within their hearts. In giving, we receive."

How LA Became a Bastion for People Who Are 'Spiritual, Not Religious’

The rise of kirtan in the West!! - https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/yw8nxm/california-scenes-los-angeles-kirtan?fbclid=IwAR3N8snXJgU9fLqa__DtRXmoOUOqqApEU74MKNlwVGJ-vzL3L7jaIwqc8K0

How LA Became a Bastion for People Who Are 'Spiritual, Not Religious’ The ecstatic, hypnotic chanting of kirtan is a huge scene in the city. And that makes perfect sense.

We had a delightful discussion last week on relative vs real problems, and how the human pursuit of happiness should aim higher than that of non-human species of lives 😅 . We also had enlivening kirtan! See you all this Friday!

Last week we learned how an uncontrolled mind can be the worst enemy one can have, and a mind under the control of intelligence act as our best friend. This week we will be discussing another interesting topic - the Pursuit of Happiness. We will learn why we all, whether we know it or not, are in this pursuit, and how can we consciously pursue happiness in a way that actually works!

We will have musical mantra meditation and end with a delicious vegetarian dinner. Menu for this Friday is Potato-Okra fry, Biriyani, Veg Pakora and Cinnamon Raisin Bread. Looking forward to meeting you all tonight, February 22 at 6:00 p.m. in Atrium A-B, Hughes Trigg Student Center!

We had a great session last night! Thank you all for coming and participating in the discussion about the mind and how to best control it! See you all next Friday!

It is said that the mind can be our best friend or the worst enemy. We all have faced times when our resolve to do something was utterly ineffective over the power of our own wavering mind. This week we will discuss what the mind is, and how it can be engaged and managed to our benefit!

We will have musical mantra meditation and end with a delicious vegetarian dinner. Menu for this Friday is Paneer Masala, Basmati Rice, Brussel Sprouts-Potato fry, Veg Pakora and Cinnamon Raisin Bread. Looking forward to meeting you all tonight, February 15 at 6:00 p.m. in Atrium A-B, Hughes Trigg Student Center!

Hi everyone!

Last week we had a great discussion on how in the present materialistic paradigm, the motto of everyone’s life has become - Work, Buy, Consume, Die! We also discussed how meditation helps us go beyond this framework, and ask if there is more to life. This week we will discuss a related topic - Redefining Happiness. We will find out why happiness is the most fundamental drive behind all our activities and is it possible to change our perspective towards it!

We will have musical mantra meditation and end with a delicious vegetarian dinner. Menu for this Wednesday is Pumpkin Sabzi, Basmati Rice, Bitter Melon-Potato fry, Veg Pakora and Cinnamon Raisin Bread. Looking forward to meeting you all tonight, February 8 at 6:00 p.m. in Atrium A-B, Hughes Trigg Student Center.
