Like Arjuna (in the Gita), we too wonder - How do wise people, talk, walk and live?
More than 200 years ago, Sri Mahipati wrote about the 'Stories of Great Saints of India' in his book, 'Bhakta vijaya' (the Victory of the devotee).
Within each story of more than 21 saints are some details of their lives, rich poetic imagery that thrills the heart, some cultural practices, different places that dot the sacred geography of Bharat but mostly a devotion that bathes our hearts.
On this Ekadashi, we embark on a journey to learn more about Sant Namdev, who lived from 1270 to 1350.
Jai Vitthal! Jai Vitthal!

Guru Paduka Stotram is a powerful set of well-known devotional verses that glorify the sacred “Padukas (Sandals) of the Guru. Why are the padukas or sandals sacred? Because of association with the feet of the guru. In the Vedic culture, the guru as well as his/her feet are worshipped. The feet represent the path taken by the teacher, the path prescribed by the Vedas of a life of Dharma and Moksha. The verses in this stotram describe the glory of the Guru-padukas, the qualities of the guru and how a seeker’s life transforms with a Guru’s grace. We look into the meaning and revel in the Guru's grace.
Devi Saraswati also known as Devi Sharada is revered as the goddess of knowledge, education, learning, arts, speech, poetry, music, purification, language and culture.
When our desires are fulfilled we find ourselves to be happy and when they are not fulfilled, we are unhappy and restless.
The Hindu way of life is neither new nor old. It is Sanatana, eternal and so it is both, new and old.
Devi Annapurna is the goddess of food and nourishment. She is called the mother of the three worlds and gives to everyone what only a mother gives, naturally and freely – food. She bears no weapons in her hands, but rather carries a cooking pot and a spoon. As giver of food she is the giver of life.
