omana thinkal kidavo......lulluby sung for my daughter to sleep Just at the age of three-and-a -half she started to catch up with the musical notes I played or sang. She's so playful about it but pitching is quite natural to her. Her interest in music is incredible. She always reminds me to teach her music. If I sing a small song for her to repeat she wants the svara first. In my music classes for other older children, she'll just sit through and listen without disturbing. She has got a beautiful voice and inherent talent. Grateful to you Nandu, to have born as my daughter........... Nandu making her on two minutes maagi noodles.

Father left so unexpectedly just when I began to realize and express my love for him. Never thought of responsibility until he was around. All the qualities and traits and all that I am, I humbly attribute to this couple. The gratitude can never be put into words. The best thing about them as parents is that they never imposed what we have to become or what we have to do as children. They just created an atmosphere for us to naturally blossom into our potentials. Prostrations.................

Read in: English | മലയാളം | தமிழ் | ಕನ್ನಡ | తెలుగు | हिंदी Music is therapeutic. Human system responds wonderfully to the vibrations of musical sounds. Listening to music immediately changes our energy patterns as well as the body chemistry. There is scientific evidence for the effect of music on the good health of plants and animals too. Some plants were allowed to grow in ordinary favourable conditions and a few others in addition were exposed to music. Those plants which grow listening to the music were found to be the healthier species. Similarly animals were also found to respond to music in a positive manner. In music there exists, inherently the power to communicate simultaneously on different levels of consciousness. This is why music plays an important role in almost every religion.      Don. G.

Later I became interested when I heard about Astral Travel. I obtained a small practical book, 'The Secret of Astral Projection' by David Savage. In certain workshops also I learnt a few techniques of Astral Projection. During casual discussions some of my friends narrated their Out-Of-the-Body-Experience (OOBE) to me. For them it happened automatically and unexpectedly. They even did not realize that to be an Astral Projection.          One friend said he saw his physical body separate from himself while he was suffering from severe fever. Another friend had a blissful experience of floating in the sky when she was lying on a lawn watching a bird soaring high in the sky. Yet another close friend of mine described how she felt thirsty during her sleep in the night. She tried to go to the kitc...

The Gurukula in 'Fernhill', 5 kilometers above from Ooty, seemed to be more calm and isolated. My mind was saturated in a beautiful silence. I Felt much confident and at peace standing at that important turning point of my life. From my childhood I had high regards and respect to the saffron robed people. But then I never knew that I am marching to be one among them. When I told my parents that I am going to get initiated into sannyas from Guru Nithya Chaitanya Yathi, they happily said "okay", because they never believed that I could be one at that young age of 23. As I got a chance for a private dialogue with Guru, I opened my heart's desire to him. He just said, "good". Then I told him that my wish is to get initiation from him. I sensed an inner smile blooming in his eyes. Without agreeing or ...
