the year that was...

2012 was a dramatic year, full of rock music and a life on rocks. As the year ended, the success of media ride almost made me crazy. With friends playing tricks, with friends getting annoyed, it was too much. So i decided to dedicate 2013 to spiritual sadhana. The Jaipur Literary Fest was the last straw but another straw came in the form of translating a book. I finished somehow but ended up entering the cave. The cave all men from Mars retreat to. I have not since then, posted any thing on the net but today i resolved to make the change. To reach out to the world... to reach out to the noble minds out there...becasue living in the cave really does not take you anywhere....

its been so long...

Its been so long ...here on this planet. Still trying to make sense of things. Still wondering, why things happen the way they do? We always end up hurting the ones we love? I pile, action upon action. I learn about the chains that held me down, about people who lead to nowhere and i wonder...why? And the words that made sense so many years ago, become alive. I know i never really understood their meaning....Life always is new...everyday you find new answers...every day u struggle...for that i life....never to tire... that is life...Write your own scripture....crazy monk... cos u have to ...cos all of us have to ..if you want to know....how to live

CHOOSE EVOLUTION

This is my first blog.
I started so late because , as a friend of mine once said,' life started treating me kindly, only recently.
I became a Monk in the year 1989. I had just completed my Graduation then. I was inspired by Adi Shankracharya, J.Krishnamurti and a host of other spiritual giants. I wished to be part of a spiritual community. I longed for a place where i could meditate and know the secrets of the soul. I joined the Naga tradition of Sanyaasa and lived at a small Ashram near Haridwar.
The same year i was chosen to be the next head of the Ashram.
The same year i left.
I had accepted the path with an ease. With the same ease, i left it.
