NASA to build manned space station beyond the Moon?
After forty years of venturing no farther than low Earth orbit, NASA may have decided to establish a manned outpost at a greater distance than humanity has ever traveled before.

EKANTA! - THE PRACTICE OF SOLITUDE!
EKANTA! - THE PRACTICE OF SOLITUDE!
(By Om Swami)
The Sanskrit term for solitude is ekānta. It is the hallmark of a person who has turned inward — their love for solitude. An unmistakable sign of a restless mind is its inability to embrace solitude. For the quiescent mind nothing is as profound as solitude and for the restless, nothing is more terrifying. There are only two types of people who are comfortable in solitude: the lazy and the yogi. By solitude, I do not mean that you live in a remote place but have access to TV, books, internet and the rest of it.
