Making a difference in the world

Stress and anxiety has a purpose. It’s nature’s way of telling you your life is off the rails, off track. Bhakti yoga calls for rejuvenation of the human spirit, when the human vitality is being used for its true purpose, then change will take place.

Much more inspiring and progressive is to take control, equipped with knowledge of happiness beyond the body and mind.
