Power, Love, and Discipline

Thilakam – The Chakra and the Third Eye

Why do see Indian Women, and sometimes men, wearing a Bindhi or Thilakam in their Foreheads? What are Chakras? What relations does this Thilakam have with the Third Eye of Lord Shiva? The Article gives you the answers!

The Bumpy Road of Good Intentions

The social world is an interesting place that never seems to tire of doing (supposedly) the right thing but ends up turning out to be massively wrong – an evil of sorts.

We all need repentance as the way of improving our spiritual prospects in life. Such a thing was designed by God to reconnect us with the transforming power for life through his Spirit. Without this power, and we all know this weakness, we have no hope of spiritual contentment. This six-point plan is an acrostic that can help us remember the steps we might take in tackling our sin through the divine power of the Holy Spirit.
