Hari Aum Dear Sadhakas,
This is our 2nd blog on the intricate word "Maya".
We are always anxious to know what "Maya" is, but by its very nature it defies all description. We invite you to continue reading the article and remove your doubts about the nature of Maya!
So let's deep dive into this interesting topic.

The Full Blog Of This Week:
The Hindu Way of Life
We accept the fact that maya exists even though it is indiscernible by the five senses. It is that which deludes us into believing the existence of a material world which does not exist in the form that we experience it.
Reflection of the Week
The intricate web of Maya can only be totally eradicated by complete surrender to that superior divine force which is the controller of Maya.
Question Of The Week

Ayurvedic Health Tip Of The Week
The no. 1 dietary tip I have for my patients is to avoid, or reduce, the amount of ultra-processed foods they are having. Trying to have the bulk of your diet consist of minimally processed, whole foods, is the key to building a healthy foundation. If your food does not resemble how it would be found in nature - then it has been processed. If your food contains ingredients whose names are chemical-sounding and hard to recognise, then it's probably been ultra-processed! The latter is ideally avoided all the time.
