    India's Vedic contribution is a reservoir of Vibrant Information and
    Harmonious Creativity. May the Womb of Nature Embrace all with
    Tranquil Blessings from this day forward. Let this attract one's
    attention affecting them Positively. It is a Sanctuary of the Self , a
    Creative Venue which serves as an Enduring Expression of Lightness,
    where a peaceful Atmosphere with Sunlight Flows and serene atmosphere
    prevail.

    In the storm of life we struggle through myriads of stimuli of
    pressure, stress, and muti-problems that seek for a solution and
    answer. We are so suppressed by the routine of this every life style
    that most of us seem helpless. However, if we look closely to ancient
    techniques we shall discover the magnificent way to understand and
    realize the ones around us and mostly ourselves. If only we could stop
    for a moment and allow this to happen. May all beings be happy (Loka
    Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu)

    The ancient Hindu philosophy of keepiing mind and body for the well
    being, has entered the managerial, medical and judicial domain of the
    world. Today it has found its place as an alternative to the theory of
    modern management and also as a means to bring back the right path of
    peace and prosperity for the human beings. Let me bow to Indian
    Maharishi Veda Vysa with folded hands who helped in removing the
    impurities of the mind through his writings on Vedas, impurities of
    speech through his writings on puranas, and impurities of body through
    his writings on other sacred texts.

    The Holy Gita is the essence of the Vedas, Upanishads. It is a
    universal scripture applicable to people of all temperaments and for
    all times. It is a book with sublime thoughts and practical
    instructions on Yoga, Devotion, Vedanta and Action. It is profound in
    thought and sublime in heights of vision. It brings peace and solace
    to souls that are afflicted by the three fires of mortal existence,
    namely, afflictions caused by one's own body (disease etc), those
    caused by beings around one ( e.g. wild animals, snakes etc.), and
    those caused by the gods (natural disasters, earth-quakes, floods
    etc).

    Mind can be one's friend or enemy. Mind is the cause for both bondage
    and liberation. The word mind is derived from man to think and the
    word man derived from manu (Sanskrit word for man).
