Meditations

Meditations by Kalyani Khona is a newsletter that serves as a web-based diary exploring the depths of shared human experience."It has been one of the most enriching spiritual experiences. All the newsletters, in one form or another, relate to everyone's spiritual journey. For me, whenever I have any questions, I simply re-read some of the newsletters and find most of my answers. I highly recommend these, whether you are into spirituality or not. Just try going through the memos."- Ashish Wadhwa
