THE BRAND: BODHI TREE

INDIA

Bodhi Tree-India is a homegrown luxury clothing brand. They proudly uphold “Made in India” in every aspect of their business. Their label is conscious in its use of handwoven indigenous fabric. Their choice in doing so emanates out of an awareness of thought; a melody of warp and weft strung together to create wearable designs. Their design aesthetic is subtle and elegant, and one that celebrates character with grace.

Profile of The Promoters

The promoters of Bodhi Tree-India are Deepika Chadha and Neha Mahidhar. Friends first, then business partners. Classmates from school in Jabalpur, both chose to study design. While reconnecting in Bombay, it was only in 2011 that they decided to celebrate their roots and the sense of colour and design they grew up observing.

The Road We Travel

BODHI TREE

Their appreciation is for the true designers – the various craftspeople who they choose to work with at the grassroots. Their journey begins with interaction with the weavers to plan fabric for the season. The symphony of colours and textures comes in later as they watch the plan come alive on the loom.

Their endeavor and vision from the inception of the ebrand has been to showcase the fabulous tapestry of India’s large textile heritage. Their stance has been and will remain to make handloom versatile and appealing to modern styles and silhouettes. The collections are reflections of their explorations… till so far, they have travelled to Benaras, Chanderi, Maheshwar, Bhuj, Bengal, Andhra, Bhandara, Champa, and with many more to go.

It has been a very soul-satisfying travel as they craft ensembles that are dramatic yet minimal, subtle yet definitive with fine attention to detail.

They create wearable design that is fluid across body type and age with prices that are inviting and luxe affordable.

BONSAI (By Bodhi Tree) 

This category is their offering as everyday wear- from work to evenings out. Bonsai are thematic collections with artist collaborations in cottons, linens, denim, and silk.

The Ultimate Guide to Mental Health: 10 Transformative Quotes by Acharya Prashant

Acharya Prashant

Acharya Prashant is renowned for his profound philosophical insights and spiritual guidance, particularly concerning mental health. With an impressive following of over 50.4 million subscribers and 2.5 billion views on his channel, he is considered the world’s most-followed spiritual leader. Having left behind a prestigious career and academic accolades from IIT and IIM, Acharya Prashant has devoted his life to the pursuit of truth, spreading wisdom, and challenging societal norms.

In his exploration of mental health, Acharya Prashant emphasizes the importance of understanding and transforming our inner world. His teachings often address the root causes of dissatisfaction and suffering, offering profound insights into how we relate to our desires and vulnerabilities.

Here are the top 10 quotes by Acharya Prashant on mental health, curated to engage and inspire:

1. “Living is not a favor that somebody grants you. By virtue of being, you are free to live. Free to live and free to live freely. You need nobody’s approval. No God has the power to sanction your being. If you are, you are. And who can deny that?”

This quote affirms the inherent freedom in existence, encouraging individuals to embrace their right to live fully without seeking external validation.

2. “The mind is surely a prison when intelligence is not in operation.”

This insight highlights how the mind can confine us when we are not using our intelligence and awareness to navigate our thoughts and emotions.

3. “Man is fulfilling desires, But does desire ever fulfill man? Desires may get fulfilled, but Man remains unfulfilled.”

Acharya Prashant addresses the paradox of desire, pointing out that fulfilling desires alone does not lead to true satisfaction.

4. “The more our ability to produce and consume objects, the more terribly dissatisfied we grow within, and hence mental illness.”

Acharya Prashant critiques the pursuit of material objects as a source of dissatisfaction and mental distress.

5. “This mind is very fertile. It is just that it yields only one type of crop, which is suffering.”

This quote reflects on the tendency of the mind to generate suffering, emphasizing the need for awareness and transformation.

6. “The more your inner dissatisfaction grows, the more becomes the importance of diverse objects in your life, and vice versa, mind you. The more the prevalence and production and consumption of objects will grow, the more the dissatisfaction in your life will grow.”

Here, Acharya Prashant draws a connection between inner dissatisfaction and the increasing desire for external objects.

7. “You must have the ability to be and to operate as a healthy being even in the middle of sicknesses, difficulties, and imperfections.”

Acharya Prashant emphasizes the importance of maintaining inner health regardless of external conditions.

8. “Change whatever you want to and whatever you can. You have all the freedom to go, play around, and create a mess. You have all the freedom to do whatever you want to do. It’s all yours. At most, you will die in the mess; that you will anyway.”

This quote underscores the freedom to explore and make mistakes, reinforcing the idea that life’s messiness is part of the human experience.

9. “Mental health is such a stranger to us. We start feeling uneasy in our rare moments of simple innocence.”

This quote reflects the often overlooked and misunderstood nature of mental health, suggesting that even simple moments can bring unease when we are not attuned to our mental state.

10. “There has to be a determination to go into the route of the swings, desires, and urges. There has to be a determination to be free and well. There has to be a resolve to understand. There has to be a resolve to take the right medication. And it is quite possible that the right medication need not be a pill.”

This quote stresses the need for determination and the possibility that true healing may not always involve conventional solutions.

These quotes provide a profound glimpse into Acharya Prashant‘s perspective on mental health, offering both foundational concepts and practical wisdom for navigating the complexities of the mind. Whether you’re new to his teachings or seeking deeper understanding, these insights can serve as a guide to fostering mental well-being and inner peace.
