The Meaning of Coming Home

To be at home with ourselves is to find the inner ground from which we offer stability, peace, and presence to the outer world.

Join Ishan in this heartwarming talk concluding the HI Members Homecoming Retreat, where he explores the event’s core message: reclaiming inner peace and rediscovering the sacred power within. Drawing on Panditji’s keynote Homecoming Within — Defending & Nurturing Our Priceless Soul, Ishan explores what it truly means to feel at home within ourselves, not just as a concept, but as a living experience.

Referencing the Yoga Sutra, Chapter 2, Sutras 1 & 2, Ishan reminds us that tapas, svādhyāya, and Īśvarapraṇidhāna (self-effort, self-study, and trustful surrender) are doorways to a life of clarity and transformation. Through tapas, the noble, sometimes difficult effort of being fully alive with a growth mindset, we gain access to the key that unlocks our eternal home. That is the meaning of coming home.
