Some books of interest

I'm back for a bit. Just posted a widget of books I wanted to feature, that I have enjoyed. I had hoped to post books from my spiritual Master, Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari, but they are not available on Amazon.com at this time. Two books I would recommend are My Master and The Collected Works of Ram Chandra Vol. 1 (This second book is a collection of books from Parthasarathi's Master, Ram Chandra.)

I have an interested in plant teachers as well, particularly entheogenic plants. Three of the books in the Amazon widget relate to these types of plants, and I hope to add more books of this category to my collection. I meditate within the spiritual system of Sahaj Marg, which does not recommend the entheogenic use of plants, rather we recommend a direct approach to the divine through raja yoga. That being said, I have a interest in healing and shamanism, which is focused on the organic healing of the individual and the world.

Welcome to the G-Life Blog

Welcome to my blog. I'm a 42 year old male. In marketing terms I am called a "Sit-Kom" -- Single Income, Two Kids, Oppressive Mortgage. Okay that was a small attempt at a joke. About me? Well, I'm a middle-aged family guy. I'm an assistant coach of my son's soccer team. I'm in Marketing. I have two fantastic children. I commute about two hours a day to work and back. I am a suffer of allergies, and our dog is not helping things. I can ramble on like this for awhile, but I am very grateful to be here and I hope to keep this up.

I am writing this blog to post some thoughts and to connect with others out there in the blogasphere that may have similar interests. I have been meditating for about 14 years, I'm vegetarian, and I'm trying to affect change in myself and the world. I practice a heart-based meditation that has helped ground me and raise my conciousness and awareness of humanity and the need for change. During my commute, I have listened to some wonderful blogs from like-minded and like-hearted people. These podcasts have turned me on the World Wide Web and the possibilities of a blog like this. So...here I am with the Grihastha Life blog. 2.0.

Oh. Why "Grihastha Life"?  Check out the definition on Wikipedia.

You, the reader, are welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy it, and that you find it somewhat interesting. To be honest, I am not used to writing, but I hope to keep this up and invite you to check back. Affectionately.
