Those who have succeeded in attaching or detaching their minds at will have succeeded in Pratyahara, which means gathering towards, checking the outgoing powers of the mind, freeing it from the thralldom of the senses. When we can do this, we shall really possess character; then alone we shall have taken a long step towards freedom. Before that, we are mere machines.

Upcoming Events
Vedanta
Vedanta is based on the Vedas - one of the most sacred and ancient scriptures of the Hindus. It is a system of philosophy which is based on the idea that all reality is a single principle, Brahman (God), and teaches that the believer's goal is to transcend the limitations of self-identity and realize one's unity with Brahman. It is not based on the life and teachings of any one particular saint or prophet. It is a federation of faiths and a commonwealth of spiritual concepts.
Harmony of Religions
Every religion teaches man to fill his being with the glory of God and to transcend pettiness and selfishness. It trains him in the methods of unattachment and discernment, so that he may aim high and attain spiritual perfection.
