They called it treatment-resistant schizophrenia. It was untreated trauma, untreated addiction, and a brain injured by the pharmaceuticals meant to fix it. A mother's account of bringing her son back from drug-induced extrapyramidal damage in thirty days — and her pharmacological case, fully referenced, against the revolving door of public psychiatric care.

Feel free to download and read the Manifesto I wrote at the bottom of this article. It shares detailed account of what and how we did it.

In August 2025 I was spoon-feeding my nineteen-year-old son. He could not swallow. He had been on Zuclopenthixol depot for fourteen months. Over thirty days, with a layered protocol of botanicals a…

Eight stanzas, eight attributes, one bow at the end of each. The Liṅgāṣṭakam does not build to a conclusion — it returns, again and again, to the same recognition. This is itself the teaching. ecology.yoga

The Liṅgāṣṭakam in eight stanzas — each ending with the same declaration of prostration before Sadāśiva’s liṅga. With full transliteration. A complete practice in the Śaiva devotional traditi…

Indra — The Vedic God of Thunder, Rain, and Cosmic Order

Indra is the deity who pays the cost of order — who strikes the blow that releases what has been held, who bears the consequences of his own capacity for violence, who must be renewed by Soma to sustain what he does. The most honest portrait of what it costs to hold things together. ecology.yoga

Indra in the Ṛg Veda — 250 hymns, the slaying of Vṛtra, the release of the waters, the establishment of dawn. Indra in the Purāṇas — the anxious king, the Ahalyā episode, the humbling at Govardhana…

The tradition says this single verse holds a thousand names. What it means is that compression is possible — the whole of a practice present in the smallest possible form, if the practitioner is truly present within it. ecology.yoga

The one-verse śloka given by Śiva to Pārvatī — chanting Rāma’s name three times is equal in sanctity to reciting the Viṣṇu Sahasranāma in full. Nine rounds of recitation with Devanāgarī, tran…

Sound does not merely pass through the body. In the Shaiva understanding, it is the body, at a finer level of resolution. The cakra bīja and the mātr̥kā — the alphabet of awakening. ecology.yoga

A 38-page guide from the Sound Yoga Academy mapping the cakra bīja seed syllables (LAM, VAM, RAM, YAM, HAM, OM) and the mātr̥kā — the fifty Sanskrit phonemes as goddess forms distributed across the…

The Ancient Roots of Eco-Conscious Business — And Why It Matters Now More Than Ever

What Devika Knows About Ahiṃsā

Devika has never used the word Ahiṃsā in a business context. She would find it strange that it needed to be said. For her, non-harm is not a principle applied to commerce — it is commerce, when commerce remembers what it is. The dyes she uses feed the garden. The scraps of fabric become stuffing for bolsters in the yoga room next door. The women who weave for her eat lunch together in the courtyard; their children go to school with her own. The water she uses, she returns.

Does this cause suffering — to the land, to the water, to the hands that made it, to the creatures who share this Earth with us? This is the question at the heart of Ahiṃsā in commerce. Not as a compliance checklist, but as a daily orientation — the way a flower turns toward light not because it was told to, but because that is its nature.

The Banyan's First Root

Stand beneath a great banyan tree and you will see something that no other tree teaches quite so clearly: a single organism that has become an entire forest. Its aerial roots descend from the canopy, touch the earth, thicken into new trunks, and in time become indistinguishable from the original. The banyan does not grow outward by conquering. It grows by returning — by sending what it has received back into the ground, again and again, until the forest it inhabits is itself. ...

When Artha was inseparable from Dharma — how indigenous craft and land traditions held the oldest form of ecological economics, and why the thread was cut.

The tradition says that kirtan works because the name of the divine is non-different from the divine itself. Whether or not this is literally true, something does happen in a room full of people singing together with genuine feeling. ecology.yoga

Every Friday 6–8pm, the Ecology Yoga community gathers at Mata’s for two hours of devotional singing — call and response, Sanskrit bhajans, mantras from the Śaiva and Śākta traditions. Record…

Little Hans had a garden and a devoted friend who took everything from it. Oscar Wilde's sharpest fairy tale — and why it reads like an ecological parable for our time.

Oscar Wilde's dark fairy tale about one-sided friendship — and what it reveals about the extraction that calls itself devotion. Full text, within eco and yoga context.
