Incense

In the modern world it has become custom for incense manufacturers to change their approach in the of making incense, they wanted more variety, stronger potency and also to lower the cost of incense, expecting this will make their product more popular, without caring for the decline in the standard of the incense.

Let us look at the tree. As the tree grows, it develops its crown: more branches develop, more leaves, and even some birds arrive and nest in the branches. At this point (or even earlier), the roots of the tree should grow deeper and deeper to provide more stability for the growing tree.If that does not happen, there is danger. Due to the weight of the tree and the absence of deep anchoring into the ground, there is the danger of it falling down. A little wind, too much rain, or a

Prayers…by Sutapa das

2515141153?profile=original

Sutapa das: One of my fellow monks is an extremely prayerful person. He has regular stories of the reciprocation and interaction that comes from conversing with God. Though inspired, I personally find it difficult to pray. It usually feels unnatural and artificial; probably a combination of my impersonal character, hard-heartedness, lack of faith, and general life philosophy of “work hard and be practical.” Someone, however, recently offered me an interesting antidote – “pray for other people”

Question. 1. How to overcome depression? Right from my student days I have developed inferiority complex and at times I find it really difficult to overcome. My parents and brother have been extremely supportive to me in this regard. But still it is not totally gone.
