their immediate business may be, in reality there is only one business – the
business of human wellbeing. Whatever you are doing, fundamentally, you are
doing it for human wellbeing, it is just everyone’s scale and scope that is different.

nation or race. For another, it includes everyone and everything on the planet.

SOME
NOTABLE ACTIVITIES AT ISHA
(I)
May
29th, a group of 75 business owners, entrepreneurs, investors and managers with
a wide variety of skills and talents came together at iii, to explore a new
method of supporting Isha’s mission of creating wellbeing through raising human
consciousness. Key projects were discussed that would support Isha’s objectives
while also allowing the entrepreneur, investor and business professional to
achieve the right returns for their effort and investment. (See Details at : http://blog.ishafoundation.org/happenings/the-business-of-wellbeing-the-first-invest-in-consciousness-meet-at-iii/)
(II)
After
Houston been a blitz of activity including Bhava Spandana, Sathsang in Atlanta
and of course the Federal Aviation Authority certification that included cross
country tests and a check ride. Well, now I can fly by myself without an
instructor – at least in the USA. There are a few more hurdles to be crossed in
India.-Says Sadhguru (6th June 2012)- (see :
http://blog.ishafoundation.org/sadhguru-spot/now-flying-solo/. )
(III)
Indian Politician Dr.
Jayaprakash Narayan, Member of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly and
President of the Lok Satta Party, in
conversation with the Mystic Sadhguru Vasudev, Saturday, June 16, 2012 at 8:00 PM (GMT+0530)-Readers

(IV) for the householders, generally, the
full moon is considered more suitable to do anything spiritual because it is
gentle on them. And generally, what is gentle is also slow. Amavasya is for the
ascetic, for those who are in a rush, for those who don’t have much time…… The idea of becoming a householder is to
organize your survival, so that you don’t worry and struggle with it on a daily
basis.- Sadhguru talks beautifully about
the householder or the Grihastha :
(V)
Once
you are identified with something that you are not, the mind is an express
train that you can’t stop. Do what you want, it won’t stop. So you put the mind
on full steam and you want to apply brakes – it doesn’t work like that. You
must take your leg off the throttle first, before you brake any vehicle….says
Sadhguru, examining whether the Mind is a friend or enemy (see at : http://blog.ishafoundation.org/masters-words/is-my-mind-really-against-me/)
(VI) A hollow bamboo can
turn the passing Wind
into a Sweet Song.
turn the passing Wind
into a Sweet Song.
– this is
the part of a beautiful poem by Sadhguru (see it in full at : http://blog.ishafoundation.org/sadhguru-spot/poem-the-song-geeta/)
(VII) If you look at it closely enough,
there isn’t one thing in creation, without which you can exist. So I want you
to look upon everything as a mother. Today is the tree-mother’s day, tomorrow
is the mountain-mother’s day, next day is your biological mother’s day.- says
Sadhguru, examining the concept of mother’s day (see at :
(VIII) we just concluded an Inner
Engineering programme with 964 participants, the largest for USA till date. A
wonderful group of people and an outstanding level of organization; hats off to
our teachers and volunteers. They have been working for this for the last two
months. This effort to conduct Mega Programmes is a serious attempt to ignite a
silent revolution of self-realization. –says Sadhguru on 09th,May,2012
