Do you hear my song?

I am the songbird within
Do you hear my song?
My song is the yonder sky, the prestine enchantment.
Where I fly fearless and free, beyond the horizon of fancy.
Do you ever glimpse such highness?
Do you hear my song?

My song is the ocean of calm, bottomless and profound.
Where supreme silence prevails, away from the play of the waves.
Do you swim in such stillness?
Do you hear my song?

My song is the mountain of bliss, magnanimous and resolute.
The pleasant breeze awaits thee, aloft the sultry summer of the valley
Do you climb such eminence?
Do you hear my song?



My song is the poem of love, love that is noble and tender.
Where the immense, kind embrace, touches one and all.
Do you feel such abundance?
Do you hear my song?


I am the songbird, so are you, and is not my song yours too?

I sing of the eternal songbird, do you hear my song?

What makes an entrepreneur great?

“You’ve got to win!” “You’ve got to be the best student!” “You’ve got to be the smartest!” “You’ve got to be the fastest!” That’s the mindset we all grew up with —  Winning!

Not learning to fail will leave you vulnerable to anxiety, make your life miserable and will lead to emotional breakdowns whenever the inevitable failure occurs. Entrepreneurship demands you try new things and make some risky decisions. Not everything will work —  and that’s okay

The Banyan Tree

In the 15th Chapter of Srimad Bhagavad Gita- Lord Krishna compares the material world with a Banyan tree. Lord Krishna starts the Chapter 15 with this Verse, श्रीभगवानुवाच | ऊर्ध्वमूलमध:शाखमश्वत्थं प्राहुरव्ययम् | छन्दांसि यस्य पर्णानि यस्तं वेद स वेदवित् || “Sri-bhagavnn uvaca Urdhva-mulam adhah-sakham asvattham prahur avyayam chandāmsi yasya parnani yas tam veda sa veda-vit The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: "It is said that there is an imperishable banyan tree that has its roots upward and its branches down and whose leaves are the Vedic hymns. One who knows this tree is the knower of the Vedas.” In this section of Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna is talking about material world, how a living entity gets entangled in the material world, the spiritual world which is the actual source of the material world and the need for developing detachment.  The analogy of a Banyan tree is used to show how the material world is a perverted reflection of the spiritual
