Imagine knowing that you will never be alone! Not in any circumstance, ever! Well, it’s actually true, and you can cultivate that capacity to connect with the eternal and infinite presence that is always with you through the practice of remembrance. Even if you were without the soul’s existence for a billionth of a second, you would not exist.  

This month, we celebrate the spiritual practice of remembrance. We hear from Daaji on love and remembrance, Pir Zia Inayat Khan on uniting the fragments of our being, Jason Nutting on stillness, Kapik Naidu and Sanjana Ayyagari on the paradox of remembering and forgetting, and Robert Steven Goldstein on the Tree of Knowledge. Ravi Venkatesan explores the foundation for exceptional listening, Emilie Mogensen reflects upon regenerative leadership, and Narendra Kini challenges us to think about the capacities of AI and human intelligence. We hear from Gayathri Ramachandran on self-awareness, Elizabeth Denley on remembrance and entanglement, Sreenath Ananthaneni on the flower that nearly started a war, and B. Rathinasabapathy on the confluence of nature and spirituality. Neeraj Patel shares an art essay called Frameworks of Fluidity, and Sara Bubber celebrates the Olympic Games.

Next month, we’ll be focusing on an ancient yogic practice known as Pranahuti, and how it has been revived in modern times. We would love to hear from you, so please share your letters, articles, and stories with us at contributions@heartfulnessmagazine.com.
