Dr. Brené Brown is a researcher professor at the University of Houston, Graduate College of Social Work, where she has spent the past ten years studying a concept that she calls Wholeheartedness, posing the questions: How do we engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to embrace our imperfections and to recognize that we are enough — that we are worthy of love, belonging and joy? Brené is the author of I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isnt): Telling the Truth About Perfectionism, Inadequacy, and Power (2007) and the forthcoming books, The Gifts of Imperfection (2010) and Wholehearted: Spiritual Adventures in Falling Apart, Growing Up, and Finding Joy ( 2011).

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

In a country torn apart by war and suffering a plunging economy, Ukranian devotees are braving sub zero winter temperatures to distribute Srila Prabhupada’s books this December. And they’re being rewarded by a receptive public.

“They’re tired of hearing scary news about the war. The whole society is starving for something positive. So when they see harinama or are inpired by book distributors, they feel very indebted. We just got a long letter of appreciation from one member of the public who was so moved to see our winter Harinama on the street.”

With the war rendering people “politically and economically depressed and hopeless,” according to Acyuta Priya, they have become more receptive to spiritual values.

The trek from Dirapuk Monastery to Dzutulpuk Monastery is the most difficult part of a 3-day Kailash Kora. During the 12 kilometers’ day trek, you need to cross the Dromala Pass at 5,630 meters above sea level.

In Tibet, Dromala Pass means the Sin Pass. In an old saying, if a person has lots of sins, he/she could not pass through the Dromala Pass easily. The God of Kailash will decide who stays and who can go.

It was a tough day to cross the Dromala Pass. I started my journey at 7 a.m. and reached the top Dromala Pass at 11:30 a.m. after trekking 6 kilometers from Dirapuk Monastery guesthouse. It took another 1.5 hours to go down the pass. When I finally arrived at Dzutulpuk Monastery, it was already 6 p.m.

Here are some tips for the trekking cross Dromala Pass:
1. Do start your trek as early as possible. In my case, as a healthy Tibetan, I spent 11 hours to complete the 12 kilometers.
2. Please bring a flashlight. Because you would depart early in the morning and it is not yet light, you need a flashlight.
3. Please wear comfortable trekking shoes and prepare trekking poles. The road across Dromala Pass is very steep.
4. Don’t worry too much. There are three tea houses along the way, one is before you cross the pass and the other two are after your cross the pass. At the tea house, you can get simple food supplement, and buy small oxygen bottles if you need.
5. If you are really not feeling well enough to go over the pass, you can either rest in the first teahouse or take a car directly back to Darchen.

For ordinary tourists, the trek is a challenge to themselves, while for Tibetan pilgrims, the Mount Kailash kora is a pursuit of devout faith.

Along the way, I met a woman from eastern Tibet who came with her baby to make the kora, the pilgrims prostrating even on the steep trail, and a devotee from the high mountain area completed the kora in one day, who actually had already made 5 circles.

Along the way, you can see five-colored prayer flags waving in the wind and rocks with pictures on them, where Tibetans believe that posting the pictures of their deceased relatives will bless their souls to heaven. When you are tired, someone will cheer you up and even offer you snacks to replenish your energy.

This is the kora around Mount Kailash, the hardest, but the holist experience of Tibet.

A documentary on the Glories of Govardhan Hill by Bhakti Caitanya Swami

The Vedic scriptures proclaim that the glories of Lord Krishna are unlimited and eternal and no one is able to reach the end of them. In the same way, who can fully describe the splendid glories of Sri Giriraja-Govardhana, the best servant of the Lord and at the same time non-different from the Lord Himself? To protect his dear vrajavasis from Indras wrath, Sri Krishna held the Hill on the small finger of His divine hand for seven days. The area of Govardhan is full of wonderful forests, lakes, caves, waterfalls, jeweled paths, platforms and pavilions. Lords most intimate pastimes places — Sri Radha-kunda and Sri Syama-kunda are located at the foot of the Hill. The Vaishnava acharyas and saints left us a great treasure of scriptures, describing the wonderful pastimes, which are going on eternally in the shade of Giriraja. Here are but a few drops of this nectar.

The holy place known as Mathura is spiritually superior to Vaikuntha, the transcendental world, because the Lord appeared there. Superior to Mathura-Puri is the transcendental forest of Vrndavana because of Krsnas rasa-lila pastimes. And superior to the forest of Vrndavana is Govardhana Hill, for it was raised by the divine hand of Sri Krsna and was the site of His various loving pastimes. And, above all, the superexcellent Sri Radha-kunda stands supreme, for it is overflooded with the ambrosial nectarean prema of the Lord of Gokula, Sri Krsna. Where, then, is that intelligent Person who is unwilling to serve this divine Radha-kunda, which is situated at the foot of Govardhana Hill?
(Sri Upadesamrita, verse 9)

«Of all the devotees this Govardhana Hill is the best! Or my friends this Hill supplies Krishna and Balarama, along with their calves, cows and cowherd friends, with all the necessities: water for drinking, very soft grass, caves, fruits, flowers and vegetables. In this way the Hill offers respects to the Lord. Being touched by the lotus feet of Krishna and Balarama, the hill appears very jubilant».
(SB 10.21.18).

Bhutans other name is «The Happy Kingdom.» The small Himalayan country has one foot in the distant past and the other in the digital age. Its quite a balancing act for Bhutans citizens.

No other country has recently undergone more radical change than Bhutan. The millennium brought television, the internet and democratization to the last Himalayan kingdom almost overnight. The capital Thimphu has become one of South Asias fastest growing cities. At the same time, just a few kilometers to the north, 20 thousand nomads still live from herding yak on the high plains of the Himalayas. This documentary tells of the challenges these people face.

We meet young Chewang, who often has to leave his family for months and trek to heights above five thousand meters in search of the caterpillar fungus, a fabled medicinal mushroom. We also follows the journey of five-year-old Doryi, who is separated from his poverty-stricken family when they send him to a monastery. Meanwhile, the committed organic farmer Choki is trying to bring the advantages of modern life to her village. And 73-year-old bowman Ap Chimi is finding the modern world quite a challenge, so hes decided to compete in his last archery tournament to show youngsters in the village that he can still hit the bulls eye as easily as they do.
This documentary takes viewers on a trip through a time that mirrors Western development in the last century. The loss of a communal life in harmony with nature is juxtaposed against the gains made through globalization. Director Irja von Bernstorff, who has made her home in the Happy Kingdom, gives us a unique peek behind the countrys tourist façade to reveal what makes the wondrous world of Bhutan so special.

It is said that all holy places in India exist in their original forms in Sri Vrindavan Dhama. The other day we visited Badrinath (Badrikasrama) a two-hour drive from Vrindavan town through the countryside. As we approached Badrinath we were surprised to see a small mountain range. Upon arriving we discussed a number of Krsnas pastimes that took place there, as well as the glories of Gangotri, Yamunortri, Kedarnath and other sacred places that can be found in Vrindavans Badrinath. The beauty of the surrounding area was stunning.

The 330 km TOR Des Geants is a race in the Italian Alps. The course heads counter-clockwise on the Alta Via 2 along the south side of the Aosta valley for the first half of the race, returning along the Alta Via 1 back to Courmayeur.

The 2018 TOR was my first 200 miler. What follows is just a brief look at my experience at the race, all the ups and the downs on my journey among the giants of the alps.
