The Power Within

A group of people visited a temple and circumambulated it for 108 times. Then, they approached a temple priest.  He gave them a 108 beads chaplet and recommended them to chant it daily for 108 times for attaining the blessings of happiness, peace, prosperity and spirituality. Why for 108 times…?    The number 108 is divisible of 9. Not only number 108 but also those numbers which fall in table 9 are considered auspicious in Hinduism. Yes, of course, the number 108 has a prominent place. The summation of the digits of the numbers of table 9 always remains 9.  E.g.  9*7=63 (6+3=9), 9*5=45 (4+5=9) , 9*16=144 (1+4+4=9) etc. This reinforces that the number 9 has a significant place in the Metaphysics. Let us dig deeper. The human fetus lives in the mother`s womb for 9 months (36 weeks). This specific time period (9 months) of the fetus in the mother`s womb is given by nature to the human being only, not to any other creatures. The body, in which we...

       Marriage is pious bond. It is considered a reunion of two pure souls. It is devout, because the married couples are entitled to copulate and procreate the progeny for the future generation, which is accepted by the society.   Different types of marriages have been introduced to us, viz. Brahma Vivah, Daiva Vivah, Arsha Vivah , Prajapatya Vivah, Gandharva Vivah , Asura Vivah, Rakshasa Vivah, and Paishacha Vivah. The existence of different categories of marriages is on the basis of the material nature and social status of the individuals. The law has been constituted to maintain the marriages. These laws differs on the basis of religions, region and time, and on some part, on the basis of caste, creed and cult also.

         The Ganga, the longest river in India, originates from Gangotri, in Himalaya. At the place of origin, the stream of Ganga is scanty. At the point of her origin, it can be controlled and diverted into different direction also. From the origin place to Rishikesh , where Ganga touch the earth; the Ganga is clean, pure and pious. The Ganga is known by different names viz. Bhagirathi, Jahnavi, Vishnupadi, Padma etc. Despite the different names and places she passes, she remains the same.

But the human beings, out of their selfish nature, they have made the Ganga polluted. It is well known that only source or means are n...

       The time management courses are very popular. In the organization, they teach their staff how to manage the time. I had always a dither in my mind; can we really manage the time? Time is eternal, Primeval, Ever-existing entity. It will not change or linger for anyone. It will keep moving with the same speed, whether we divide 60 minutes in one hour or 100 minutes in one hour. It does not make any changes in its distinctiveness. At one side, we say “Time and Tide wait for none”, and at other side we talk about the time management. The tide in the ocean takes place, due to the gravitational pull of the moon. And, the moon is also the embodiment of the time. The Hindu and Islamic calendar is based on the lunar calculations. The Gregorian calendar (English Calendar) is based on the Sun. We calculate the time on the earth, on the basis of the movements of these planets. It means, to manage the time, we need to manage the movements of these planets...

   The earth contains 29% land and 71% water, out of that, only 3% is potable. All the rivers and rivulets carry the water from the afield and put into the ocean. The test of the sea/ocean water is salty. The mountain provides the stability of the earth and prevent from the earthquake. As babies we are approximately 75 to 80% water and as we grow older this percentage decreases until the percentage is reduced to approximately 60 to 65% for men and 50 to 60% for women. The human brain is about 85% water and our bones are between 10 to 15% water. The human body also contains almost the similar percentage of water in our body. All the veins simulate the river and rivulets. Our piddle is also salty. The most of the mountains, whence the rivers originates clad with white snow. The color of our brain is also white, whence all the thought generates. The bone helps us to strengthen our body like the mountain does for the earth.         ...

Like, we have home , car ,computer etc.,   we have mind and body to use it as an instrument to achieve the paramount of our aspirations. Body looks for luxury , mind is prone to negativity , and both the conditions are pernicious , if it has not been fully controlled . The body has been constructed with five elements viz.
