Why full moon in so important in Buddhist spiritual…

The full moon is considered a sacred and auspicious time in Buddhism, and Buddhists celebrate it with a certain fervour. The Buddha was born, renounced, attained enlightenment, delivered his first sermon, and passed away on full moon days, which gives the full moon a special significance in Buddhism. The full moon is seen as a time of transformation, abundance of spiritual energy, and an opportunity to partake in special meditations, observe rituals, and delve into a deeper state of stillness.​

Parivrtta Parsvakonasana

Parivrtta Parsvakonasana is one of my favourite asanas, I use it one my workshop “Standing Asanas for Balance” as well in my master classes for “Side Trunk Expansion”. This is a deep twisting posture that requires balance and flexibility, and which helps stimulate the visceral organs in the chest and abdominal area. It is also known as the revolved side angle pose, and it is a variation of the standing side-stretch yoga asanas.

Environmental Activism and the Bravery of Virabhadra

The Hindu mythology is filled with stories of gods and goddesses who fought against evil and protected the universe. One such story is the tale of Virabhadra, a fearsome warrior created by Lord Shiva to avenge the death of his beloved wife Sati. While the story may seem like a tale of revenge and destruction, it holds a deeper meaning that is relevant even today – the importance of fearlessly taking action toward what is right. I would like to explore the symbiosis between the story of Virabhadra and my interpretation of modern environmental activism.
