Welcome to InSpire

Thank you for visiting my blog; for years now I have been following the path of yoga and have acquired many tools, that I now share with those seeking peace and a bit more consistency. I have taught both domestically and internationally, and really have enjoyed working with private clients, as well as large groups; and all the while one thing always rings true- life is what you make it. My passion and pleasure in life is being a teacher, whether it's working with children or adults, teaching yoga, literature, anatomy and physiology or simply guiding a friend though a rough patch, it's what I was created to do. I hope through this blog I am able to humbly convey, as well as create a community of mutual understanding through shared experiences.  It is my wish through my work that we become a better people through our community service, and selflessness in our thoughts, words, and deeds.

Peace~ Raji

To be, or not to be, that is the question...

The Vedanta: by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura

I stand before you as a teller. I am going to tell you now a few words more on the Vedanta and especially its ontological aspect, morphology being a former changeable part of the same. My telling craves a reciprocity of your listening to my sound through your aural reception. Sound is the main substratum of the Vedanta which deals with a subject unapproachable by our present crippled imperfect senses. The ear cannot work as a receptacle unless we are willing to admit a sound and this admittance depends on our taste and previous experience. This prior experience invites affairs within the Phenomenal range, but the Vedantic sounds have a different aim. So our reciprocal situation will crown our efforts with success.

Buddha

On life's journey Faith is nourishment, Virtuous deeds are a shelter, Wisdom is the light by day and Right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life nothing can destroy him; If he has conquered greed nothing can limit his freedom.

Vivekanandaji

According to Karma Yoga, the action one has done cannot be destroyed until it has borne its fruit; no power in nature can stop it from yielding its results. If I do an evil action, I must suffer for it; there is no power in this universe to stop or stay it.

Similarly, if I do a good action, there is no power in the universe which can stop its bearing good results. The cause must have its effect; nothing can prevent or restrain this.

Class on Karma Yoga. New York, January 3, 1896
