Medusa
In the Micronesian islands, a top-secret U.S. government-sponsored undersea lab conducting vital biomedical research on a rare jellyfish known as the Blue Medusa suddenly... disappears.

The Magic Of Awakening
Spirituality in its true form is neither an escape nor refuge. It’s about reconnecting with our real self, understanding our hidden potential, preparing ourselves to deal with emerging situations and much, much more. Spirituality helps by attaching a context to the various occurrences in our everyday life. It also expands human potential to deal with the infinite aspects of life.Until we remove the blindfold of ignorance and understand the real truth about life and living, we’ll continue to believe fallacies and get bogged down by existential dilemmas. The truth of life lies in the art of being one with life—a truth that not only takes us forward in our spiritual quests, but also elevates our level of consciousness. All paths that lead to the truth begin differently but end in the same way—with understanding.Sirshree tells us how to awaken and feel the magic within. He says, ‘All paths that lead to the truth begin differently but end in the same way— with understanding. Understanding is the whole thing . . . listening to this understanding is enough.’ Established in 1999, the Tejgyan Foundation has multiple centres across India. The Foundation has administered several programmes in different countries.
