In view of reports of Canadian singer Justin Bieber going to a two-week yoga retreat seeking peace, Hindu statesman Rajan Zed has suggested to him that withdraw instead to a Himalayan cave and try to attain samadhi on his own through yoga and meditation.
Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, in a statement in Nevada earlier this week, said that with all the reported troubles surrounding Bieber, he needed to go on an “inner journey” by retreating to a quiet, peaceful, secluded place where he could be alone in solitude and silence, withdrawn from the material world, allowing himself some time for reflection.
Most times, organised retreats just ended up as recreational holidays, Zed indicated.
“Free from material bonds, Bieber needed to shut his door against the world for some time to reconnect with self and unite his mind in samadhi to overcome confusion/stress encircling him, and attain pure/unconditioned joy and bliss,” said Zed.

We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability.
