Tattvartha Sutra

It's powerful when you know precisely where you intend to go. But it's not enough. No matter how strong your desire is, desire alone will not achieve what you wish to achieve. You must cross the distance between where you are and where you want to be. You must take action, with focus, with discipline, commitment and persistence. You're perfectly capable of doing all that. So go ahead. Engage that capability, make the effort, reach the goal. Yes, it will be difficult, challenging, uncomfortable, inconvenient. That's what makes it worth doing, what gives it value. Feel your desire to achieve, to go from where you are now to where you want to be. Find great satisfaction and fulfilment in doing that work, in covering the ground to make it happen. Put your frustrations in perspective, and most of them will disappear. Refuse to get caught up in them and they'll have no power over you. Small inconveniences and minor disappointments can lead to ma...

Music penetrates the hardest of the hearts, germinates the seeds of emotions in the most dispassionate of beings and rightly so, essentially music is what makes us human. It arguably has connections with the deepest troughs of our hearts that only resonate with the right rhythm and beats. One such genre of music that has all the right rhythms and beats is spiritual melodies. Here, for you we have prepared a list of twenty four such chalisa tracks picked from the Jain firmament of spirituality, devoted to the twenty four Jain lords called tirthankaras. Enjoy!

MAYBE difficult is not so bad. Maybe easy is not so desirable. Easy makes you soft, complacent, vulnerable. Difficult makes you strong, decisive, capable. Easy puts you in danger of being arrogant, disrespectful, and bored. Difficult fills you with a wealth of gratitude that connects you to life's richest abundance. The more you must work for something, the more you must invest yourself, the more value it has. A difficult journey makes the destination all the more appealing. Wouldn't it be nice to stop worrying whether the day, the job, the encounter will be difficult? Wouldn't it be great to just stride right up to the moment and meet it with confidence and joy? Look back at what you have learnt from your life and you'll realise this is what you have learnt: what is difficult is nothing to fear. Occasional effort can create illusion of success. Consistent effort is what brings lasting success, achievement, fulfillment. Are you working out once ...

YES you can live this day in accordance with your most treasured values. Yes you can create an intention and then do the work to fulfil that intention. Yes you can overcome the obstacles.

Make a generous amount of space in your life for enj...

ONE day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was stuck with the pain of learning that sometimes some things aren't there anymore. No more hugs, special moments to celebrate together, phone calls just to chat. No more 'just one minute'. Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away never to return, even before we can say goodbye, or that we can say 'I love you'. So while we have it, it's the best we love it, savour it, care for it. Fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriages, for old cars, for children with bad report cards, for dogs with bad hips and for aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they're worth it. Because we are worth it. Some things we keep with ourselves, forever, like a best friend who moved away or a poem written but never told. There are just a handful of thi...

The word Jainism draws the image of the yummy, scrumptious, and mouth-watering all-green all-veg food in our minds, the food that satisfies all the desires of both your heart and health is a win-win for a fitness freak cum foody vegetarian like me.
