Sometimes we go looking for answers, but the people giving them may still be figuring things out themselves. That’s where the idea of a guru comes in. It’s a word that carries a lot of weight these days. A true guru comes from a lineage—what we call a sampradaya. So what is the role of a guru in today’s world? In the Bhagavad-Gita, there’s the concept of “tattva,” which refers to truth. A guru is called a “tattva-darshi.” Darshi (from darshan) means to see or perceive. So a tattva-darshi is someone who sees the truth—not just intellectually, but with real spiritual insight. Both the Bhagavad-Gita and other traditions explain that if we want real answers, we need to approach someone qualified. But how do you recognize such a person? If you met a guru today, how would you know? The scriptures actually describe this. It’s not about externals—whether someone is Indian, how long their beard is, or how they speak or behave outwardly. That’s not enough. The Bhagavad-Gita focuses much more on inner qualities: compassion, humility, tolerance, self-control, determination, and genuine knowledge. So we shouldn’t rush into things blindly. This is a search. You find someone by asking questions—but not just random questions. You need to have some clarity about what you’re looking for. In the end, you need both questions and answers. When you seek a guru, you’re looking for guidance—someone you can learn from and place your faith in. But it doesn’t stop there. A real guru won’t shut down your thinking—they’ll actually sharpen it. You don’t leave your intelligence at the door. You approach with awareness. And as you continue, your questions become deeper and more meaningful. By following the process, you start to see that this person is helping you grow—not just by giving answers, but by elevating your understanding. Someone like this, who also comes from a genuine sampradaya, is what we call a guru. So ask questions. Look for real answers. And connect with someone who inspires you to keep going deeper.

Has anyone used EFT tapping for your emotions and if so what was your experience with it? I'm curious.

This is a color sketch for my next painting. I am looking for an outstanding contrast, golden tones, and no details, only impressions...

I'm looking for music to create a Playlist for my therapy. I'm offering massages and wish to provide a space for people to come to relax, to begin a journey to open themselves and heal. Please could you share some music that you've come across that would inspire body and soul. Anything people have used for breathwork too Thank you so much Tribe. Come on the journey with me and help me create spaces for people where our amazing energy can flow and rise and vibrate higher 🙏💫

Most people don’t notice how rushed they’ve become until everything starts feeling like something to get through instead of something to live. Days blur together, and even the simplest routines turn into tasks on a checklist. What if life isn’t meant to be raced through, but experienced? When was the last time you felt fully present in your own day?
