Wisdom is the art of converting an experience into learning. Every experience one undergoes in the course of life is like a seed. The learning that comes out from that experience is like a tree. The biggest of trees manifest from the smallest of seeds. How easy it is to misjudge the depth of content that is stored in the tiny seed! If only we could learn to decode the hidden wisdom contained in every experience, life would become a journey of learning, rather than a series of frustrating experiences. The Wisdom Tree is a book that helps you see the world from the perspective of a learner. -

Choosing choices, is our right and the
consequences are our responsibilities.
"In reality, life is dynamic, and can be likened to an incalculable river, one must learn to adapt and navigate through its's depths to successfully cross it without drowning. the journey is vastly different from taking a dip in an artificially built square swimming pool with a specific depth. Life is complex and with many layers. and with the peeing of each layer deeper and more subtle layers are revealed. Unsurprisingly, well-informed individuals see the choices behind so-called "accidents" or sudden outbursts.However those with limited insights, helplessly deduce life to something full of entanglements and a series of bad incidents.

Life is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. In fact life is a series of choices. Happiness is a choice. So is misery. Honesty is a choice; so is dishonesty. However, in essence, the only choice every human ever has is to allow either internal voices to influence one’s external choices; or to allow others’ external choices to influence internal voices. By tuning in to one’s inner voice, ably guided by the time-tested wisdom of scriptures, one learns the fine art of voicing his choice; thereby becomes like a coconut – tough externally but soft internally and lasting many seasons. But if one chooses to hear others voices, then one becomes like a lichee -soft and sweet externally but hiding a seed of internal frustration and eventually lasting only one short season. ‘Voice Your choice’, is a collection of thought provoking articles that distill the mature wisdom of Mahabharata and Ramayana to assist one in empowering the inner voice. -

आपल्या गौडीय वैष्णव दिनदरिकिनुसार काही तिथीना वैष्णवांचा अविर्भाव अथवा तिरोभाव यांचा उल्लेख असतो. तसेच काही तिथींना पवित्र उत्सवांचा उल्लेख असतो तर काही तिथीना स्थान महात्म्यही असते. आपण रोज ज्यावेळी या तिथी पाहतो, ऐकतो, त्यावेळी त्यात उल्लेखिलेल्या वैष्णव आचार्यांचे, उत्सवांचे तसेच स्थान महात्म्याचे स्मरण करतो तसेच श्रवण करतो. परंतु सर्वच तिथींची संपूर्ण माहिती सर्व सामान्य भक्तांना असतेच असे नाही. आपणास स्थूलमानाने काही माहिती मिळते तीही इंग्रजी अथवा हिंदीमधून. वास्तविक वैष्णवांसाठी सर्वच तिथी महत्वाच्या आहेत. त्याचे वाचन, श्रवण अथवा मनन होणे आवश्यक आहे. यासाठी "वैष्णव तिथि महात्म्य" पुस्तकाचे आम्ही संकलन केले आहे, ज्यायोगे आपणास सर्व माहिती एकत्रितपणे उपलब्ध होऊ शकेल. यामध्ये अद्वैत आचार्यापासून ते झुलन यात्रेपर्यंतची (ए टू झेड) सर्व माहिती समाविष्ट करण्यात आली आहे. आशा आहे वाचक याचा यथोचित लाभ घेतील. -
