Why are we here?

Every so often we all find ourselves in a place where we start questioning the “why” or what is more fashionably referred to as “purpose” these days. Any attempt to answer the “why” is often met with the usual bouquet of answers — learn to live in the moment, focus on your work, go travel, do charity, breathe, get into the scriptures, focus on your career. But the more one digs deeper, the more one yearns for a bespoke answer closer to one's own life. We realize sooner or later that, more often than not, the help is much closer to home and our hearts than we imagine.

Flitting Hummingbird is a platform that brings together the timeless wisdom of human civilization in the context of our everyday life. It hopes to bring the best from the wisdom of the ages to the experience of our own times — to express and explore the various dimensions of our being, to dig deeper into the mind, body and soul, to have a dialogue, learn, share, and collectively help make each other's personal journeys more meaningful and impactful in a positive way.
