Gratefulness

I am so fortunate to grow up in Colombo, Sri Lanka. My early childhood made me understand the different diversity in the world. I am a Hindu grow up with Buddhist, Muslims and Catholics and able to talk to them all in 3 languages, English, Tamil and Singhalese.

Till now I have so many Singhalese friends and I understand the various religions and appreciate each of them as each brought much rich wisdom and goodness in me. I am so lucky and proud to be from Sri Lanka without which I will not see the world as it is now. I thank all my friends whether they are Tamils or Sinhalese or what ever the religion they were. I am so grateful for all of you, Thank you.

Art of Living Foundation Mississauga Tree Planting session Day 2

Art of Living volunteers from Mississauga Satsang group had yet another successful day at Meadowvale Conservatory; we’ve planted 125 trees in about 50mins during our Day 2 session May 15th from 12 – 1pm. Its simply amazing day, with every thing went well and the conservatory next to Credit view was simply calming and meditative.

It’s so thrilling to see the youth and kids actively taking part in many activities. Every day, I always learn many things from them.








Thanks again for all the volunteers to have a great successful day. We are so grateful and happy to contribute to City of Mississauga and its vision for Million trees for Mississauga.

SuperBrain Yoga or Thorpu Karanam in Tamil

When I grow up in Jaffna and Colombo, Sri Lanka, as kids we use to go to temple every morning before we go to School and in the evening before we get to our houses. As a custom and disciple we use to pray in our own way by Chanting Ganapathy Thevaram (Ganesh manthra) and at the end we do Thorpu Karanam(it’s like while holding your right ears with left hand and left ears with right hand and do sit up, and then with gently closed wrist gently hit the fore head, its kind of massaging the forehead.


Recent research shows that this balances our brain activities and improves brain power. It’s truly amazing how our ancestors are so smart we can only fathom it now.
