“Just as a mighty mango tree is hidden within the stone of the mango, even so, o man, divinity itself is hidden within you. Rest not, until you uncover it.”
- Bhagwan Mahavir

Today, 31-March-2007, is Mahavir Janma Kalyanak, where we celebrate the birth of the great enlightened being, Bhagwan Mahavir. He taught us the Jain path to freedom, from the cycle of birth and rebirth, towards the state of Moksha – abundant, infinite, eternal bliss.

Take a moment to look beneath some of the layers that hold you back from seeing that magic of your true self. Witness within yourself your own divine force, that ever-present, ever-lasting happiness that sits within your core.

“Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something – and it is only such love that can know freedom.”
- Jiddu Krishnamurti

“When you meet your friend on the roadside or in the market-place, let the spirit in you move your lips and direct your tongue.

Let the voice within your voice speak to the ear of his ear;

For his soul will keep the truth of your heart as the taste of the wine is remembered.

When the colour is forgotten and the vessel is no more. ‘

- The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran

“Appearing and disappearing are the play of life. Both are two waves of the same ocean. Both are there to reveal reality in a new and fresh way.”
- Pujyashree Chitrabhanu
