Mansaa Vachaa Kaayaa

The three Tools 'karana' for life and living are the mind, speech and body or Thought Speech and Action. When these are perfected you can live a perfect life.

Education for life is that which trains and sharpens one's ability to use these three tools effectively and totally at will.

We have often suffered because of the tounge saying things you did not want to say. How not to inflict such pain on self can be learnt.

The body has many ways of keeping itself healthy. it indicates to us when what is to be done for it to remain healthy. We may be educated about the signs and symptoms of the outer world but we know little about how to enjoy good health at all times.

Mind is our most powerful instrument. We use it for many things but we do not have any way of keeping it occupied at other times. it needs recharging to serve us effectively. If you are asked to stop your mind from thinking you wonder how at all is it possible. if you have to pay attention to only one thing like breath you find the mind goes away on a trip of its own, you donot even know when di it drift away nor do you now what was it occupied with. these are the times when the energy and capacity of the mind is being wasted. also it forms a habit of not being at your command.

The workshop 'Mansaa Vachaa Kaayaa' by Suchitra Pareekh is your first step to becoming aware of this enormouse waste of time, resource and energy. learning a few ways of preventing this wastage and better still making use of these tools to get more from life and living the same 24 hours a day.
