<description><![CDATA[The land of the spirit beckons.
India calls out to its sons and daughters to come together as One. It reminds all of us of the wisdom and knowledge available to us since centuries and asks us not to just take solace but leaing from our ancient texts. Some of the information is bound within our genes and passed down our lineages but some we need to relea for arent we all transcendental beings?

<description><![CDATA[Practically everyone has heard the name "Mahatma Gandhi" at some point in their lives. His quotes are plastered on everything from t-shirts, to coffee cups and bumper stickers. Even for those who haven't heard the name, the sayings "Be the change you wish to see in the world," and "an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, are bound to ring a few bells. For many people, that is the extent of their knowledge on this famous spiritual and political leader of India. But Mohandas Karamchand Gan...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[An Introduction to Hindu Deities: The Core Three]]></title>
<link>http://www.theosera.com/spiritual-articles/article/An-Introduction-to-Hindu-Deities-The-Core-Three.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hinduism, to most westerners, is an exotic religion that many find hard to relate to. Multiple gods and goddesses contrast wildly with the traditional monotheism of the west, creating a belief system and world view that may seen incomprehensible to some.  Not to mention the language difference which can be very intimidating for native English speakers. What many don't realize is that Hinduism is very much a blanket term used by outsiders to classify many religions that have some common traits. A...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When most people think of meditation, they think of trying to rid their mind of all thoughts, to somehow create a completely blank slate in their brain. However, this is only one style of meditation. For example, meditations that instead of focusing on emptiness, try and focus the attention on one thing: breath, or a word, a mantra, or even an image. One object often used in meditation and other religious environments is a mandala.

<description><![CDATA[Energy is something that is brought up in many religions and belief structures, whether it's called Ki/chi, a person's aura, "vibes", or any number of things. These beliefs are ancient, and were around long before scientists discovered the truth that they hold: everything really is made up of energy. People really do radiate light, it's just not visible to the naked eye (when the body releases heat as it constantly does, it's as light). One system regarding energy and people's energy fields is t...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[An Analysis of Dao]]></title>
<link>http://www.theosera.com/spiritual-articles/article/An-Analysis-of-Dao.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Dao (Tao) is a pivotal undefined term in ancient Chinese thought. The common translation 'way.' is apt in several ways. 'Way' similarly resists definition in English. We can do little more than offer near synonyms that are neither as familiar nor as broad in application. Typically we would to use 'way' in explaining these terms: e.g., 'course', 'method', 'manner', 'mode', 'means', 'practice', 'fashion', 'technique' and so on. These partial synonyms remind us of a second way the translation is ap...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, has many legends and stories that have been accredited to his life and his teachings. While it is difficult to say which of these stories and legends are true and even for that matter, which of the thousands of sayings that have been attributed to him were actually said by him, we do know some fundamental information about his life that does appear to be accurate.

Siddhartha was actually the son of a tribal chief. The tribe,  the Shakyas, was located in the Him...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Buddhism is one of the oldest religions still in practice today. Like so many of the great religions, and as the centuries have passed, it has become divided into a number of different traditions. This is a rather common situation that arises once the main founder or teacher or philosopher is no longer the only one providing the spiritual insight or path or teachings.  Fortunately, most of these traditions still share a common set of fundamental beliefs and truths.

In Buddhism, one of the mor...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How Does Qigong Work?

By Elizabeth Reninger, About.comThousands of Qigong Forms
There are thousands of qigong forms, associated with hundreds of existing schools/lineages of Taoist practice. Some forms include a lot of physical movement - similar to taiji or martial arts forms. Others are primarily internal - focused on breath, sound and visualization in ways that require little or no physical movement. While all qigong forms aim to cultivate life-force energy, each of the many specific form...]]></description>
