BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Atlanta, GA, USA

"Guru" became a casual word in English. In Sanskrit, it's one of the deepest.

Gu means darkness. Ru means remover. A guru is one who removes the darkness, the inner kind. Confusion. Ego. The voice that tells you you're not enough.

Not worshipped. A mirror.

A mandir is more than a place of worship.

It is a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters. In the stillness of the mandir, we find clarity, peace, and a deeper sense of purpose.

Tomorrow is Ekadashi.

Two weeks ago we covered the science. Today, the philosophy.

It isn't about food. It's about Indriya-Nigraha, sense control. Not denial. Not deprivation. Mastery.

For those who observe it, even one small experiment can teach more than reading about fasting ever could.

You live by two calendars.

One tracks years. The other tracks rhythms.

A mandir welcomes everyone, offering space to pause, reflect, and connect in your own way.

Today is Ekadashi, the 11th day of the lunar cycle, and one of the oldest fasting traditions in the world.

Long before science discovered "autophagy," we called it Upvas.

If today calls for it, some skip a meal. Some skip a habit. Either way, notice what shifts.
