These are the synthesis of various teachings through the ages, right from the ancient…
Sorabji was married for 49 years to Jabra-Jalamai who he called Jaloo-Jasoos, since she was always suspicious of anything and everything he said or did. He wasn’t happy at home, nor at office. When he requested his boss, Mr. Daji, who was Bheja-no-paji for a one-day leave, Daji roared, “You have never taken a day’s leave in…
Infinite riches are all around you if you’ll open your mental-eyes and see the treasure-house within you from which you can extract everything you need to live your life joyously and abundantly. Many of us are fast asleep with their mental-eyes shut and hence, they are blissfully unaware of this goldmine of boundless treasure within them….
‘Shukrana’ or gratitude, means appreciation; and appreciation demands that we focus on the good within ourselves, in others, in the world and life itself. Authentic relationships and good relationships are formed and nurtured only because of gratitude. We appreciate only when we take absolutely nothing for granted and when we take this positive mental-about-turn, we…
Pilamai and Pallonji’s marriage had become unexciting, ho-hum, humdrum and boring after 50 years of togetherness. Normally, a good marriage becomes better after five decades, but in Pilamai’s case, it was in a routine-rut with Pallonji never paying attention to what Pila said. They hardly spoke to each other and as we all know, where…
There is no supernatural or external being who arbitrarily administers or controls karmic rewards or punishments. We unconsciously produce their seeds ourselves and when the favourable hour arrives, these germinate and yield their own fruit. It is not that some mysterious, super-physical angel, ‘deva’, or God intervenes personally and manipulates karma, akin to a puppet performer…
Kanjoos Kekobad and his even more kanjoos wife, mindhi-Mahazarine, gave a tea party at their house. You see, their surname was ‘Marfatia’, but the entire Mandli called them ‘Mafatia’s as they enjoyed everyone’s hospitality with lunches and dinners, but never invited anyone in return to their house. This time, the Mandli passed a resolution that it was Kanjoos Kekobad’s turn to entertain….
Meherbai’s Mandli met up again for an fun evening on the benches of her Parsi baug.

Bomi Bevdo: I went to the…
Do you ration pleasure? Do you reserve it only for high days and holidays? How much pleasure do you allow yourself? Do you section it into chunks, isolate it, or leave it for another day in the future which may never come? Life becomes more enjoyable and rewarding by making just a few straight-forward arrangements….
It was a peaceful Saturday morning and Meherwanji was quietly reading his Parsi Times when Meherbai announced that she wanted a two-day week-end break in Udvada. “I won’t drive that far!” said Meherwanji. “You won’t have to” Meherwanji: Then how do we go? Walking? Meherbai: No! No! My darling Meheloo, my neice Farida and her boy-friend Soli Sales-Tax…
In the ancient civilizations of ‘Mu’ and ‘Atlantis’, there were certain rules and practices on death, with details of breath-control, mind-control and guiding the ‘last-thought’. In ancient Egypt, occultists could predict whether it was time to ‘to fight for life’ or ‘let go and die’ for their Pharaohs. In the Mayan civilisation, initiates were taught…
