Might it be possible that you are pure being having a human experience?
The ancient flowing tradition of Vedanta awakens us to this possibility, this non-duality, this reality.
I am Swamini B, a Hindu monk and a teacher of Vedanta, the highest teachings of Hinduism.
Its liberating vision of oneness puts an end to our constant self judgement and sense of inadequacy, for good!. Let us flow, you and I on the banks of the river of wisdom.

#228 The Blessing and Glory of Ganga (Ganga stotram)
Today is Ganga dussehra (when Ganga descended on this earth to sustain, purify and bless all of humanity).
Ganga is not an ordinary river. She is Devi. We understand her greatness through the vision of Adi Shankaracharya through his composition, Ganga Stotram. In 'seeing' what Adi Shankaracharya 'saw' and praised of Mother Ganga, we stand purified and blessed. The episode includes the story of why Ganga descended on earth and the meaning of the opening verses of the stotram and it was recorded on her holy banks in Rishikesh.
Also, if you have some Gangajal at home, do sprinkle a few drops on your head and allow yourself to be blessed.
Jai Jai Gange Har Har Gange
For the full explanation of the stotram, the video is here - The Glory of Ganga -

#225 Karma Yoga in resolving conflicts
As long as we live, conflicts arising from differences in opinions, views and perspectives cannot be avoided. Then, how can we apply karma yoga in these challenging situations?
We first identify whether our approach to resolving conflicts is aggressive, assertive, passive, passive-aggressive or collaborative and then work to apply the most appropriate approach. Our karma grows in kaushalam, competent karma offered unto Bhagavan and we are better able to accept people and situations. We fight. We learn. We grow.

#224 Runa-anubandha - Karmic debt and freeing oneself
Runaanubanda is unique to the Vedic tradition because it considers connections with different beings across lifetimes. Runam/Rnam, debt is based on the principle of reciprocity – a mutual give and take. If I have taken more than I have given, I incur a debt and have to pay back to that person. If I have given more than I have taken, then that person has to pay back his/her debt to me.
How does runaanubanda affect me and how can I be free from it?

#223 Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya and the teaching tradition of Advaita Vedanta
When we enter a lit room, we see the many objects that are around. One thing that most of us miss is the 'light' in which one sees all the objects.
The living teaching tradition of Advaita Vedanta is lit up by the the bhashyas, commentaries of Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya. We see the important features of the bhashya which make it the light that lights up our lives and in so doing, offer our respects to him, on his jayanti.
We celebrate Adi Shankaracharya Jayanti on 25th April, 2023, more than 1200 years later by graciously receiving his legacy and sharing it.
