My Album-38: "Pictures from our Puja Room and elsewhere!"
Sorry, pictures are not clear! Maybe due to insufficient light. I confess that I have to learn a lot about photography.
My Album-37: "Aravind, yet another photo!"
Yet another photo of Aravind. Nobody can deny that he has a charming, photogenic face, what?My Album-36: "Shweta poses for me!"
This is my neighbour's daughter, Shweta. Thank you Shweta for posing!My Album-35: "Leaves turning into Flowers!"

How many beautiful definitions of Yoga!
Yoga is that which unites.
Small selfish ‘I’ of man expanding into bigger selfless ‘I’ is yoga.
When mind unites with body, samskar unites with mind, buddhi unites with mind and Sankalpa unites with buddhi and produces a wonderful result for the expansion of self – that is called yoga.
Yoga is an all-round personality development at physical, mental, emotional, intellectual and spiritual levels.
Dexterity in action is yoga.
Gaining mastery over mind is yoga.
Equanimity in emotional body is yoga.
Yoga is silencing as well as expanding the mind (intellect).

Letters-11: "Senior Citizens"
The extinction of the joint family system, coupled with rapid technological advancement, has alienated the senior citizen from the mainstream. The old need empathy and understanding rather than sympathy and flattery. Senior citizens, for their part, should conduct themselves in a manner that befits their age, adopting a philosophical lifestyle and being a role-model for the younger generation. – V.V.Jayaraman, Chennai
