Life Is Beautiful

Life is so beautiful indeed! Each and everyday brings something good. Each day is full of new opportunities to make our life special. We tend to forget that the whole universe has been designed especially for us. We just get upset to find that the day has not gone as we have planned in advance. But in that fretting and frowning we tend to forget the most basic thing. The fact that whatever has taken place against our will is actually a part of the entire process of giving us the best thing that we deserve. It usually is something we had not even dreamt of.                    That process may take some time than we have previously thought; but the final outcome is always better. In this fast paced world, where we are used to fuming over things if we don’t get immediate response, it’s the nature’s way of telling us to slow down and walk with its pace instead of running away recklessly. It’s overlook...

Love for God

                                         Now days, many people are calling themselves religious; some even go a step further to call themselves as spiritual. As a result of this, many sects and cults are springing up daily with a promise to guide them on the road to spirituality. Many are even indirectly promoting financial and material gains along with this.                                        Even the people who have started these sects and cults are more into material gains than spiritual. This has led to a cold war between various cults, each claiming that his or her path is better than the rest and this leads to the criticism of others. They are competitors for each other to put it in the...

Love Is Divine

                                          ‘Love’ the four letter word itself has the capacity to send chills into the spines f most of the people. It may bring bliss to someone who feels has found his true love where it may come as a sorrow to someone who thinks he has lost someone he loved dearly. Many emotions start filling up inside our brains on hearing the word. A child may remember his mother, a husband may think of his wife, a sister about her brother, and children may be reminded of their parents whereas a young boy might think of some girl and so on.                                           But the real question is what is the true meaning of love? What does the word ...

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...

Do We Really Need Religion?

                                         First of all let me wish all Indians on this planet a very happy Independence Day. It’s the day for every one of us to be proud of our nation. And I am sure all of us are proud of our nation. When I look at India , I can find people of various religions, sects etc. and each one is proud of his own way. But it’s very difficult to find an Indian in India .                                         Religion can be roughly defined as a particular system of faith and worship. But very few try to understand why religion was introduced. It was basically introduced to insert law and order in the world where ancient humans were living as nomads. It implied certai...

RUN Your Life, Don't RUIN It

Many lifestyle experts suggest that one should avoid running in life in order to lead a happy and peaceful life. But here I wish to contradict few things about that in my own way. According to me, life is a RUN in itself. It holds true for everyone here on the planet. Even the blood is constantly running in our veins and arteries to keep us alive. Chemicals known as neurotransmitters are constantly running through our nerves and thus allow us to function properly. Even when we are sleeping, when our body is at rest, our mind is running. Still don’t believe me?              Just imagine the single sperm responsible for your conception was able to do so as he was running ahead of millions of other sperms. So the run of life begins right at this stage. When you were ready to come into the world, your run started in the mother’s womb. For delivery, u had to run along with your mother to the hospital. In the hospital, the staff runs...

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...

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 ...

CAN WE SUCCEED?

GANDHIGIRI is on fire....Thanks to latest flick "Lagey Raho Munnabhai". It claims that the Gandhian way of dealing is fruitful in today's world. Lets get away from the cineworld and step into the real world. There's a question for all of us. 'Can Gandhigiri in today's India really rock as easily as it did in the times of the British rule?' Practising Gandhian philosophy was much easier in the olden days than it is today. It was purely due to the fact that the ideas and the whole concept was novel in that era and people against whom it was practised were MORE HUMAN. In the pre-independence era, whenever Satyagraha was performed, the news reached right upto the Britian and other parts of the world. People were impressed by the short bald man leading an agitation of nation of 35crore against an empire. They wanted to know about that old man wrapped in a dhoti who had set out to change the entire way of Indian freedom st...

SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!

SANCTIONS.,sanctions....and more sanctions!! Thats what democracy in India is all about? I am not the only one who feels that way. Many people around me are thinking in a similar way. It seems that our tainted ministers have developed a new hobby other than plundering the national wealth; both material and intellectual. Now a days our ministers who claim to be interested in preserving our culture which is our national heritage, have started forcing sanctions and imposing bans on various activities. First Dance Bars were banned. One may argue that it was needed as it encouraged trafficking. Now they have banned broadcasting of adult stuff on television as they feel its spoiling our future citizens ie.children. But do they feel that is the only way where children are exposed to adult stuff?? What about CDs available freely everywhere? Thats just one of the things I want to mention here. The ministers h...

JAAGO INDIA

INDIA is truly a marvellous country. As I say this I am not only referring to monuments or diverse cultures, but also to varieties of people you find here. This is the country where most religions in the world exist. You can come across all kinds of people here...., Right from software intellect to skillfull surgeons and medicos to witted politicians.... I just hope that our politicians or so called 'Netas' which they call themselves use their wit for the benifit of nation. We can only hope and "PRAY" for that. PRAY!!!! It reminds me of another thing.., Religions found or practised in India. Here you can find diverse religions and beliefs as well as various kinds people. However, some may be called orthodox as they still believe in SUPERNATURAL things or things which dont really exist. When I am writing the word "SUPERNATURAL", many incidents or what people claim to be miracles come into my mind. And the first such mira...

TRICOLOUR'S PLEA

Image
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 bui...

MY WESTERN FRIENDS

Hey my friends from the west.......... I feel that you all must be remembering those good old days when you were able to wander freely on the earth. You were able to visit any country without any worry. You were most welcome in most parts of the world. You guys roamed freely, explored the country, studied its cultures and took home snaps of the place and showed it to your friends back home. You used to invent things, make advances in technology and blah blah blah..... did many things which made you proud. But now few things have changed.... You are unable to move freely around the world. You are still welcome in countries.... but this time more than local people.. terrorists who have lost their way are waiting for you..... The technologies which you had been proud to have invented is taking a toll on you.. Extremists are learning techologies and are using against you.... You people are not able to move freely in your own country....You have to face security checks at various places and...
