A lot. I got married to a beautiful lady. I am lucky my Karma Routes intersected with hers.

Sorry I have been away from Karma Blog for a while. Thank you for all the comments, Facebook  messages and emails. It will take me some time to respond to each personally. All I can say is that I have been overwhelmed by the love. I will soon post some videos of a small show that we had prepared for the reception.

I am very excited about some new associations at Karma Routes that we made at SATTE 2010. I will post the details very soon. There will be some great deals coming your way because of that.

I am personally also getting involved in a book project but it is a little premature to about it. I would soon be posting some excerpts to get your opinion on it from time to time.

All in all, it has been a hell of a year so far and it seems like I have just done the Surya Namaskar. The rest of the sequence is yet to unfold.

There’s an old Buddhist saying: ‘Before enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water; after enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water,’  but it’s a chopping and carrying from a very   different level of consciousness. What a contribution we could make to the world then! And remember that on the way there, as we improve, our joy, love, peace of mind, creativity and quality of expression improve apace.

The word ‘Yoga’ come from the Sanskrit yug, meaning, ‘yoke’ which indicates a joining together, a unity, a harmony, balance. The Physical practices harmonize the endocrine, neurological and immune systems, the meditation pracices harmonize our perceptions, thinking, emotions and behavior, etc.

Ultimately of course, according to teachings of Yoga, the result is harmony and unity of the person’s individual consciousness with the ultimate consciousness.

happy

1. Exercise or Physical Yoga – The toughest to follow but once we overcome the dip, it will become second nature to us.

2. Laugh – Instant happiness. It releases endorphins. So lets laugh our heart out.

3. Dance – A great way to express our heart through our body as an instrument. Brings us happiness and spreads it.

4. Breath – Contains the Prana or Life Force. Breathing consciously brings the most amazing emotional health benefits. At Karma Blog, we will delve into it deeper in the coming days.

5. Travel – Natural places are known to have psychic energy that makes one happy. We experience it through everyday phenomenons like crashing of waves on the beach, sunrise in the valley, etc.

dreamOk, I made that up. Its maybe because we have been boot-strapping it along with our day jobs. So real life takes over our dream in between – Our dream of combining Yoga and Travel and offering it to the world. Our dream of bringing health (mental and physical), happiness and joy to some lives.

Yes, its just another dream. On just another blog, what else did you expect.
