Dear Reader,
Stillness and silence go hand in hand in spiritual pursuits. Without them, it’s impossible to plumb the depths of one’s being and extract the jewel of the true Self.
Some are easily disposed to sitting quietly, while others struggle to be still. However, the trick is to not force yourself to go against your grain but to make any activity you like meditative by plunging fully and wholeheartedly into it. This can extend to an activity like running too. Runners, by hobby and passion, discover plenty of benefits of running. Not only does it benefit your health and mood, but it can also positively shift your level of consciousness if done consciously.
The lead story, Run For Your Life, written by Rishi Rathod, looks at the sport of running from a spiritual and self-growth angle and shares some genuine pearls of wisdom and revelations.
Mental ailments are an enigma for most people. While those who suffer from it go through a great deal of anguish and agony, others not afflicted by it struggle to understand their ordeal and empathise with them.
Consequently, instead of getting support and compassion, the patients end up getting judged, treated harshly, or side-lined. This is excruciating for them and pushes them further up the alley of loneliness and despair.
The article Bipolar Disorder—The Inner Story sketches the inner landscape of the patients of bipolar disorder and creates deep understanding and empathy for them. I hope this article series will help both the sufferers and the people around them get a better grasp of what they are faced with.
The article Recipe For The Right Partner will help confused youngsters on what criteria to look for when trying to settle down with a good life partner.
Hoping that the March issue gives you not only new ideas to chew over but also solutions to critical questions of life.
Happy Holi!
