New Acropolis Mumbai E- Newsletter
  

A little investigation can help us experience fraternity as our nature. As philosophers, opening our eyes and mind to the expression of life around us can help us to see this in abundance! 

We can see the harmony in nature, the day to day things that we depend on and sometimes take for granted, but most importantly our fellow philosophers that tread the path of inner investigation every day. It is our part to harmonize with this. 

A lot of us must plan to enjoy this uplift in the weather with a vacation! Travel can be exciting, an exploration, indeed an adventure! Our feature article this month is about Hampi - a historic and mythological monolith! 

As we enter the last month of this year, we close what was 2014, to renew and be born again into 2015. We must mark this appropriately and lead ourselves decisively to take on 2015 on the right note. We have a lecture on this subject called "The Courage to Lead". it will be nice to see you there!

Sincerely,

The Courage to Lead

LECTURE. FREE ADMISSION

"New leadership is needed for new times, but it will not come from finding new and more wily ways to manipulate the external world. It will come as we who lead find the courage to take an inward journey toward both our shadow and our light, a journey that, faithfully pursued, will take us beyond ourselves to become healers of a wounded world." -Parker J.

Hampi's history melds so seamlessly into legend that it is difficult to establish where one ends and the other begins. This tiny hamlet lay nestled within the area known as Kishkinda which, according to the Hindu epic Ramayana, was the realm of the Monkey Gods. Following Ravan's abduction of Sita, Ram and Lakshman arrived here, and were met by Hanuman and Sugriva. 
The cave where Sugriva hid the jewels that Sita dropped from Ravan's flying chariot, the grotto that Ram and Lakshman took shelter in before raiding Lanka, and the birthplace of Hanuman, have over the centuries become sacred places of pilgrimage for devotees.Read More...
