The brighter side

The brighter side

May 2023

Dear Reader, 

The summer has officially started, and the sky is pelting fire. Like  everything, each con has a pro and vice versa. I have seen that most  people are quick to complain about the extremities of the weather.  It’s either too hot, too cold, or too rainy.  

While it’s a joy to be in a temperate climate, where every element  of nature is in perfect harmony and balance, for certain things to  come to fruition, extremities are necessary. Without extreme heat,  oceans would not evaporate and clouds would not condense, carrying  the much-needed pure water necessary to irrigate the earth and give  birth to a new cycle of life. It’s easier to wake up early and have  more time to work and play as the days get longer, thanks to the  earth coming closer to the sun. Our much-loved mango requires  high temperatures to acquire its legendary sweetness. We can either  choose to look at the brighter side of things and enjoy life or grumble  about the pain and discomfort and make things worse. 

This month, we have some very good articles for you to take  inspiration from. Helping the Young Ones Take Wing tackles the  problem of readying our children to face the ruggedness of life. As  parents, our desire is to give our children all that we were deprived  of. But this does not exempt them from facing the challenges they  are meant to undergo as part of their life plan. Let’s raise them in a  way that makes them optimistic and resilient—not despondent and  fatalistic—in the face of hardships. This will be our real victory.  

We also have articles on the doctrine of non-violence, the benefit  of living a holistic life, and an interview with guru Nandkishore Tiwari So make the most of the summer  season and enjoy the issue.
