The Adiveda Weekly #85
Hari Aum Dear Sadhakas,
This is our final blog in the "Maya"series.
This interesting read helps to differentiate between “Maya - The Metaverse”, the Virtual Reality, and the one observing this virtual world.
Let’s unravel the layers of “Maya” and try to uncover the truth.

The Full Blog Of This Week:
The Hindu Way of Life
All that is outside is within you - Yat Pinde Tat Brahmande. You can look within yourself to get all the answers which you are trying to find outside, without the influence of time, space and causality.
Reflection of the Week
As individuals, we have to be careful about what we allow to come into our lives. The world tempts us with things that might cause problems in achieving our spiritual goal.
Question Of The Week
Q - Why do I cry when I pray?
A - When the devotee surrenders to the Divine at an emotional level, it usually results in undiluted love. The tears are just expressions of that love in the devotee.
Do send us your questions through comments and we will try to cover them in our newsletter in coming weeks or through live interaction of Vanamali Mataji on Instagram.

Ayurvedic Health Tip Of The Week
The opposite of our stress response, or 'fight or flight', is the relaxation response. This is a response that can be elicited and consciously practiced. The more it is practiced, the more it is a state that your body easily inhabits. This is critical to help us to come out of our 'fight or flight' response because many of us otherwise tend to dwell in fight or flight for too long, where there are then long-term ramifications on our health. Practicing coming into the relaxation response can include things like belly breathing, yoga, meditation, or mindfulness practices.
