Coffee Talk Cafe - Mcleodgang, India (Dharamsala) →
Best place for an American styled espresso based beverage in all of Dharamsala. Definitely hit it up. They don’t have a Website, but they’re very close to the Dalai Lama temple. You MUST go here if you visit.

An Exercise To Overcome Habits!
We all make the same mistakes repeatedly. We all experience the regret of repeating mistakes, as well.
So, how can we cross over beyond our habits? How can we finally conquer habits.
Gurudev Rakeshbhai Jhaveri (or just plain Gurudev to me) in one of his spiritual discourses gave the following exercise and it surely will help if we practice it.
Whenever you have a mental desire, take a mental...

It feels nice to be back home. Went honeymooning in Himachal Pradesh. My favorite place was Dharamsala. We saw where HIS HOLINESS actually sits! That was super cool.

a day of reflection
We spend so much time involved in daily activities. Even when we wish to stop we are unable to. We have to actually spend time to reflect upon the day’s events when it should come naturally.
I’m going to reflect today. What did I do? What were my actions like? Were they act-oriented or result oriented? Was I indulging in my base animalistic desires or did I strive for a higher...

hello ocean!
Up and down the waves go. They never stop. For some reason we catch a high wave and think that this is the life and it should always be this way. But of course, just when you’ve become used to this, they all crash down hard and fast.
We become nervous.
What will happen now? Will the big waves never come back again? Are we to forever live in the kingdom of the low waves?
No.
We are to...

You must be prepared to waste a lot of time … in meditation.
– Gurudev said that we must be ready to wait and waste a lot of time in meditation without expecting results. Days, weeks, months and years can go by without results, but we must still continue practice. What if I meditate today and nothing happens? You meditate again the same next day.
