The Significance of Mahashivratri

Sadhguru: In the Indian culture, at one time, there used to be 365 festivals in a year. In other words, they just needed an excuse to celebrate everyday of the year.

The Other Side of the Mirror – New Year discourse by Sadhguru

Time as an experience is relevant to all of us because we are mortal. Everything that you think you are in terms of body, mind, and emotions, is a product of memory.

TRIP TO KANCHIPURAM & THIRUVANAMALAI   In the month of Aug I somehow found myself with 6 days without any classes. In such instances my first impulse is to go the Isha Yoga Center. This time I was planning to be in silence for 3 days. Strangely though, I felt a resistance within me for going to the ashram and felt like visiting Thiruvanamalai and spending time in the...
