Ritual

We Indians give too much importance to rituals...visiting a temple on a particular day , fasting for religious reasons...are these relevant in this age ? or they are just a solace to fight our fears and insecurities ? #rituals                           I don't think that I have to explain it much, If you have heard or read any of Swami Vivekananda's ritual speeches.  In the beginning of all religions, most of people used to worship energies, like water, fire etc. Worship doesn't define that they use to create temple or anything like that, but they respect those powers that let them stay alive, that helped them in their daily life. There were some people as they also do now, who always disrespect those powers, they believe that these are just normal nature that has to be there for us always.  Our ancient saints have created these rituals so that we could utilize the science behind it without even knowing it...

#Fearless woman

If you'll ask me to select among any male employee or female employee, I would select female to work with me. The reason is the way women work. I do not have much experience in modern one's but I have seen my sisters and mom, and the quality they have to bear the pressure, bear the pain and surviving in the worst condition, this makes them tremendous as a professional.                                                          There are a lot of work that a man need to improve, but I think women just need a chance to prove herself. The most important thing you need to remember while chasing your dream is that you'll have to sacrifice so many things. And a woman who sacrifice her family to make other family complete, I don't think there can be any other greater sacrifice than this. Then she also sacrifice her dreams, she also sacrifice her thoug...

The Un‘Reserved’ Generals

We all travel from trains. And during night travels, or when the weather is not according to us we always reserve a seat for ourselves so that we could travel comfortable. There is also a bogie, which called ‘General bogie’. In which anybody can sit anywhere, anytime, there is no rule for general. I am not here to talk about trains, but about a system in Indian constitution that is called reservation.             I don’t know much detail, but when the reservation came, we have been told that this will fill the distance between rich and poor, and this system will make everybody equal. But this system has a weak spot, and that is, it does not verify the poor by their abilities of earning or their wealth & property, but this verifies it by their cast. As we all know that in the ancient time Brahmans and Kshatriya were counted among rich people. And all of the others like SC and ST were in poor category. The other backward cast people were among middle cl...

Indian Philosophy 2 (prithivyamtrini ratnani)

पृथ्वियां त्रीणि रत्नानि जलमन्नम् सुभाषितं | मूढै पाषाढ़ खण्डेषु रत्न संज्ञा विधीयते || The above shloka taken from Sanskrit shubhashitaani. This shloka teaches us a lot of things. It says that our whole earth has only three main elements, which actually belong to us. That is water, food, and our good behaviour, good talk or sweet talk. Our most of life depends on how we interact to each other.How much we love each other, how much we provide help to each other. The water and food are obvious elements that is necessary for human beings. The scientific research find the elements in the pieces of rocks. But we search our life to the things that actually belongs to our life. They search life on Mangal(mars). But we search Mangal(enjoy) in life. This is the difference that makes us Indian.     Indian always have been a different source of knowledge. Other philosophy gives world what world wants, but we give what people of world need.  न चोराहार्यम् न च राजहार्य...

Help them who actually need, is the real way to kill RAVANA

Again we have another special and interesting festival here. Dussehra is celebrated for killing RAVANA. But my point is that do we actually kill Ravana. I am talking about the Ravana that we create and become everyday. I don't think that I have to remind you, I think every literate Indian know this. Still we never try. Being greedy, hopeless, cynical are part of human nature. We all have power to regret this and accept some good habits in our life value. But it depends whether we want or not. What I am trying to implying is that we have been taught in our school everything that we should speak truth, we should not be greedy, we should help poors and helpless people. Every children has right to study, to get educated. Every woman has right to stay free for whatever she want to do. All of these facts are important for our countries and our development. But still we ourselves become a barrier for these things, by getting cynical on govt. , by getting hopeless of watching the conditio...

Navratri (Nine days of faith)

Navratri is famous and important festival of our country. This festivals reminds us how powerful a women can be. My mom's health is not so good this time so she ordered me to read the book "Durga Saptashati". So I began. Initially the books seemed tedious to me. But later when I put some of my logic into it. I found it interesting. In the beginning Argalastrot, and many other chapter are there. These initial chapters tells you the brief powers of Maa. Through the first three chapter I learnt how hard it can be to defeat a woman, when she comes in your competition. Once our lord Shiva named Parvati maa  "Maha Kaali". After that we all knew what happened, if you don't you should ask Google.        Next when the story of Saptshati began, it began like a novel. In the beginning a King who used to had a very large kingdom. But some enemies of his made a unity and they beat the king. King lost his other kingdom that he had won. And finally he had only one king...

Indian Philosophy (Hindutva)

First of all, let me clear it that 'Hindutva' is a Lifestyle not religion. Why you need an Indian Philosophy and Hindutva Lifestyle? let me ask you some question for that. 1- Do you want to stay healthy? 2- Do you want to look good? 3- Do you want to be smarter? 4- Do you want to be Happy? Hindutva Lifestyle is the answer of above four questions. Our ancestor's philosophy debates for Life, Religion, Nation, and also on so many other important topics of world, has brought the conclusion that is Hindutva. We need not to criticize but acknowledge it. Some people don't like Hindutva, especially those young kids, who appreciate west culture. They like western culture because it allows them to do whatever they want. In western culture they put individual's on top, they think that a man/women can find its way, there is no need of guidance. I also like some rules of western people. But every religion has drawback, but every lifestyle does not. And Hindu...

The Powers of Mind By Swami Vivekananda.

Mind is the most valuable asset we all have. Some people think that they can achieve everything by hard work, but its mind which makes everything possible in smart way. So Swami Vivekananda has showed us some of his facts about this power.                                                  Our Mind is the most valuable asset we all have. And we should know how far it can go. But before that we should know that how will it go that far. I was searching about some mind tricks. And I have tried so many, like solving tough puzzles, taking some online quizzes like IQ test and many other things. Some Algebra math problems and more. But when I had this part of Swami Vivekananda's Speech I came to know that, it doesn't matter how much fact you have and how many things you can with it? but how you gain those facts. If you are too focused you will be able to gain those facts...

A dark Diwali

Deepawali as we know, is a festival of light. Because it occurs on Kartik Amavasya. That's why we light up Diya, and Candles. These things makes this festivals amazing. Everybody has their own stories about how they celebrated their Diwali's with their friends and family. I also had so many Diwali's. And the one that has taken a place in my heart is 2011's Diwali. Not because it was very bright for us, but it was the darkest one for me and my family.                                                                                     Normally before Diwali we clean our house and paint it with colors. In the beginning of 2011, I was studying in high school. It was a cricket world cup year. We were having some economic trouble in that year. Because my father had quit the supplyin...

Impossible is nothing

My Search We all can get what we want with will power. When I thought about this topic and i searched I found that many person have written about how to get impossible work done. Most of them were approximately similar to one another. I thought write something that no one has ever written in their blog. But its hard to reach there. My search bring me to the books of Vivekananda. In his speeches and lots of books he has covered many of ideas that can make you successful. I have also watched movie three idiots, that infer us not to run behind success, we should find the excellence, and success will follow you. But I am not agree 100%. Because it all depends what is your purpose of running. There are some people like CHATUR Ramalingam (Character from the Movie THREE IDIOTS). He wanted to do any highly qualified job that fulfill his wishes, and in the end of movie he actually got succeeded in his journey. So its not wrong to think that way. Rancho(Amir KHAN From THREE IDIOTS) got no deg...
