Indra in the Ṛg Veda — 250 hymns, the slaying of Vṛtra, the release of the waters, the establishment of dawn. Indra in the Purāṇas — the anxious king, the Ahalyā episode, the humbling at Govardhana. The yogic dimension: the indriyas as Indra's domain, the relationship with Soma.
The one-verse śloka given by Śiva to Pārvatī — chanting Rāma's name three times is equal in sanctity to reciting the Viṣṇu Sahasranāma in full. Nine rounds of recitation with Devanāgarī, transliteration, and translation.
A 38-page guide from the Sound Yoga Academy mapping the cakra bīja seed syllables (LAM, VAM, RAM, YAM, HAM, OM) and the mātr̥kā — the fifty Sanskrit phonemes as goddess forms distributed across the tantric body. Reference material for any cakra-based or tantric practice.
A 21-verse stotra to Mahātripurasundarī Lalitāmbikā with Sanskrit and English — each verse invoking a different aspect of the Goddess — followed by a reading on the Divine Mother and a video of the Lalitā Sahasranāma prayer by Craig Pruess and Ananda.
Eight-canto hymn to Mahātripurasundarī Lalitāmbikā, attributed to Ādi Śaṅkarācārya. Full text in IAST and Devanagari with English translation. Sung by Lalitha Sagari.
When Artha was inseparable from Dharma — how indigenous craft and land traditions held the oldest form of ecological economics, and why the thread was cut.
Oscar Wilde's dark fairy tale about one-sided friendship — and what it reveals about the extraction that calls itself devotion. Full text, with ecological framing.
An accessible introduction to yoga nidrā — its tantric roots in nyāsa practice, the layered structure of the mind it works with, and the eight stages of Swami Satyananda's modern system.
What the Gītā actually asks — and why its answer through karma yoga and dharmic action remains the most practical teaching for ecological and relational life.
A first-person pilgrimage report from Tamil Nadu — three extraordinary temples discovered at the end of a five-week yātrā: Thirupullani (Divya Desam 105), Thiruvarur (Thyāgarāja Svāmy and Kamalambal), and Thirumēyachur (the origin-site of the Lalitā Sahasranāma).
Lama Thubten Yeshe on śūnyatā (emptiness) as the single most important realisation — why all saṃsāric suffering traces back to the wrong concept of a real I, and how bodhicitta arises from the kindness of every sentient being.
How traditional Indian gowar (cow dung) biogas systems work — from slurry to digester to gas holder — and why this ancient practice is one of the most practical models of household-scale circular ecology.
