This week
Forgiveness is a Quiet Mind
True forgiveness isn’t denial—it’s the courage to see deeply into what happened and be transformed by it. Drawing from yoga philosophy, timeless wisdom, and stories of resilience, Kaustubha Das explores how forgiveness frees the mind, heals the heart, and restores spiritual focus.
“Forgiveness is not weakness—it’s the might of the mighty.” — Mahabharata
