An Introduction

>Mission
We aim to create a friendly, informal and intimate atmosphere to share our joys and sorrows on the spiritual path with other seekers. We will all offer what we know and be open to what we can learn from others as we pursue our own unique and individual journeys. This is an opportunity to cross-pollinate in the hybrid world of spiritual matters.

Philosophy
Everyone is welcome - all ages, castes, communities, religions, backgrounds, physical shapes, sexual orientations, professions, culinary tastes :-)... We do not believe in labels nor subscribe to any particular ideology, religion or Guru. We believe all paths are equal and valid ways of realizing our Source and every individual journey is uniqe and special.

Format
We propose 3 core aspects:
  1. Share and Learn - Everyone shares a little piece from their own recent spiritual quest/ realizations - a story, a poem, a song, a chance meeting, a piece of art, a strange co-incidence, a spiritual experience, a person who influenced their life, a book they read or anything that contributed to their growth and was very meaningful and why. Everyone contributes and discusses.
  2. Soak in the Presence - A guided meditation with recorded music and possibly chanting and lots of silence.
  3. Future Visualization
When/ Where?
The next session will be for 3-4 hours on Sunday, March 4th at 3.00 pm at my place 501/3, The Palms, South City I, Gurgaon, Haryana Ph:9871620526.

What Next?

The thought of spirituality to me is the one who has understood or have met his inner soul. And soul is defined in terms of a person's mirror image. Its only after the death the soul is related.

It was about 10 years back i realised the principle of life and death. All those who have understood the "Life and Death" can really live the life.

And to understand live its important that we all should know what Death is? Death is not the end of life. Its the begining of new life. Unless we die we can not know what life is.Like unless we know what what sadness is, we cannot enjoy happiness. unless we experience the heat of sun we cannot feel the cool. Like wise to undestand what life is we should know what death is.

Life and death is always with us, even now when I am writting this my experience. When we inhale, we breath in oxygen. And oxygen is to live. When we exhale, we exhale carbondioxide. And carcondioxide is death.

So every time we inhale we live and every time we exhale we die. Living is a non ending process and to live we have to die.

Death in Hindu mythology is considered as ugly. Yamraj riding on black buffalow coming to take your soul.So death is considered as bad and horrifying. But its not that ugly,its the non completion of "Wants" in one's life makes its death ugly and unexpected. So it is treated as horror event.

Like we welcome and celebrate life , when a baby is born. Similarly one must welcome "Death". As this is a process of life and not the end of life. Life never ends it only changes its phases and faces. We are afraid of seeing the other side of life that's why we are afraid of death. And when we are afraid of death how can we live life. Because to live we must know what death is.

River is life and merging into sea is a process. As river starts from the top of mountain and has its journey till the sea, we can't say its the end of river. Because its only from sea the process of formation of new river takes place. And since its not vissible to us the new formation of river, we say river ends in sea.

There is lot more that I could have written on thought of spirituality as its a non ending defination similarly the Life is a process which is non ending event.

Thanks to Nandini of having struck my mind to express my views over the enlighten concept to help the needy.
