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 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!

Happy Thanksgiving to FB friends and well-wishers of Prana Gyana!
According to the Universal Cosmic Law, “Give more than you get (without expectations), and you shall get more (without expectations) than you gave.”
With an attitude of gratitude, we are thankful to all the Gurus, teachers and well-wishers who have blessed the birth and sustenance of Prana Gyana over the years.
There is always something to be learned from every teacher who crosses your path – the great ones teach you how to be and the others teach you how not to be.

Happy Wednesday!
“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 :-)

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

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 :-)
