TRICOLOUR'S PLEA


NAMASTE!! All my fellow countrymen.. I think you all know me.. Even a school going child must be knowing me. I think your kids know me better than you.. Few days from now, I will be seen everywhere. YES I am your national flag.. THE TRICOLOUR or what you call me in India; your very own TIRANGA and I hope you all are still proud of me. Our independence day is just few days from now. I still remember the time I was first hoisted by Panditji on 15th August in 1947 on the tope of Red Fort . I was proudly dancing with joy in the wind of freedom. Everyone right from young kids to old people were carrying me proudly. I was the possession that you Indians were most proud of. People took oath of protecting my hounour at the risk of their lives.... But now things have changed a lot. My importance has been confined only to 15th August and 26th January by most of my countrymen. Kids do carry me with them on these days. I proudly dance to the tunes of the wind when I am hoisted on tops of the buildings and am put on the vehicles. But after the day of occassion, I am again folded and put in the box and have to wait for the next national festival to breathe once again in the air of freedom. Sometimes I am even torn and my people dont care, hoisting me on rooftops has just been a formality. I feel that the country has got freedom, but I am still captivated by my own fellow countrymen. Moreover, once national festival is over, I find myself in the trash, in the garbage.. Its not done only by children but also by many adults. I request them to teach their children to respect their national symbol and set an example in front of their kids by themselves respecting national flag.
So, this Independence Day, everyone should take an oath to respect your National Flag. Please dont let ME land in trash.. After all along with all of you, I have also gained freedom. Carry me proudly and give me the respect I truly deserve.

Paryushan : A Practical View

So the festival season has begun in India . Starting from Ramzan, then Paryushan and Ganesh Chaturathi etc. there is so much fun in the air. Everyone is enjoying himself, people meeting one another; the atmosphere is really superb and divine as people are praying for the well being of each other.                                   But sometimes I feel that no doubt all these occasions have their own religious significance, but they must be having some practical purpose too as our forefathers who started these customs were people of extra ordinary intelligence. And I am definitely sure that these festivals send us a message of some sort esp. regarding our health. Hence today through this blog, I wish to highlight the practical importance of Paryushan with regard to our health. Being an Ayurvedic Physician, I would like to co r...

Its Impossible For God To Be Human

On reading this header, many people might discard this as insane or consider me an atheist or someone who is opposed to the idea of God or His powers. But I would like to request everyone to go through the whole blog before coming to any conclusions. The most common definition of God according to most of us is “God is one who gives gifts, who is effulgent, who illuminates and who resides in heaven or celestial body.” This makes it clear that God is some divine being who creates and maintains the entire Universe. This definition of God is more or less accepted by almost all faiths around the world. It clearly confirms our belief that He bestows us with powers, grants our wishes etc. if we are honest to him. This further engraves in our mind that there is nothing impossible for God in this world. He can do anything He wants with ease. This has been the human belief since the dawn of civilization and has remained intact till day; in fact it has ...

Dharma = Religion?

                People in India are very proud of their “ dharma ”. It’s a common word especially among Hindus. But with utter pain I have to suggest here that very few people really know the true meaning of the word.   To put it in other way, do you really think that you are honestly practicing dharma ?                   Dharma is a Sanskrit word. It’s mostly related to Hinduism these days. But we can safely assume that the word can be used to connect all religions including Christianity and Islam; not only Hinduism. If we look at literal meaning of the Sanskrit word, dharma means duty . So by thinking without conservative mindset i.e. by trying to be open to correct our misinterpretations, there is no harm in saying that performing your duty honestly without any self interest is dharma . So if someone claims that my dharma is Hinduism, Buddhism Or Jai...
