The Power Within

Many extraordinary ideas/thoughts were scoffed at initial level. And later upon implementation of those ideas have worked as a miracle for the world. The majority of people have a disease to draw their own confinement of thought. They have created a shell and they do not want to come out of that shell. And whoever talks beyond their shell, they overtly scoff their idea. They are unable to see beyond the defined mark. It does not mean that there is nothing beyond their sight. If someone sees beyond the mark and explains the thing which he can see clearly, he is scoffed or mocked or misunderstood. A human can hear between the ranges of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Beyond or under this range human cannot hear. Dogs can hear beyond and under this range. The silent whistle is blown beyond and under this range to call the dogs. If the sound is not captured in our range, of course we cannot hear, it does not mean that there is no sound out of this defined range. Similarly, most of the people draw...

  The meaning of success is not the common for everyone. It differs person to person. Success is something you get, what you wanted to get without violating others right. Success can be at various level, viz. physical level, mental level, spiritual level, material level etc. The true success means the complete enjoyment, the ecstasy. If your body, heart and mind are responding positively by achieving your desire is the real success. Every success and failure comes with the subsequent reaction. It is necessary to monitor what exactly you want and make a note of that. You can make a long list of your desires. The wise always prioritize their desires. If you are clear what you want and how much you want, then it is doddle for the mind to find how to get it. You can collect all the means and start your journey towards your achievements. If you are genuine and honest in your pursuit, you can become genius in your profession. No matter what your desire is, you can achieve that. Y...

Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh (Shiva) are known as trinity god in Hinduism. Brahma is a god of creation, Vishnu is savor and Shiva is the destroyer. They look different, but in fact they are one. These are the different qualities of one supreme. Even though, Brahma is the creator, he is not worshiped, because he lied to be the superior, he tried to consume his own creation with wrong intention. These show his negative qualities. Vishnu never lied to show his supremacy, he saved his devotee from devils, and he provides the aegis to the cosmos. He is having all the positive qualities. For the existence of the cosmos and creation, both negative and positive energy is required, means Brahma and Vishnu required. Lord Shiva is an ascetic, a hermit, always engrossed in his deep meditation, detached from the worldly stuff. He is neutral. He is the god of gods, Mahadeva. But whenever, his meditation is disrupted, he destroys everything and make it neutral, means no negative no positive, hence...

Hanuman is a strong character in Ramayana. During, the search of Sita and Lanka invade by Rama`s monkey and bear army;    Angad was leading a team, Sugriva was leading an another team, Jamavant was working as an adviser. Hanuman was valiant and capable to lead a team, but no team was given to him, he was working as an individual contributor. Why not any team was given to Hanuman, the capable one? Whether Rama was not sure about his leadership skill or Rama wanted to utilize his unparalleled prowess in some critical situations, rather than spending his skill in guiding and leading other people. What could be the reasons… but Hanuman never complained to anyone about this, and remained the loyal devotee of Rama. He served Rama as an individual contributor with supreme devotion. Needless to say that Hanuman followed all the Rama`s orders very religiously and without any question. Rama told him to locate Sita; He only located Sita in Lanka. He was strong enough to defeat Ra...

What do you think… not more than 10%! …right. More than 90% people make their resolution, because others are making some resolution on the New Year. After few days they forget about all the resolution. These kinds of persons are external driven person. They like to go along with the crowd. And crowd is not always true. The wise and genuine persons are internal driven persons. They know what they are committing with themselves, and they complete it. They always walk away from 90% of people; they want to indulge in the 10% of successful people. They do not do what 90% of population does, like taking resolution and forget. Do what 10% of population does, take the resolution and complete it. New Year is not an appropriate time to take the personal resolution. Your birthdate is the appropriate time to take the person r...

Published in Dainik Awantika,21 Dec 2012  माया कैलंडर के अनुसार 21 दिसम्बर 2012 को दुनिया का विनाश हो जायेंगा। निबुला पृथ्वी से टकराएगा और सब कुछ ख़त्म। हालाँकि  वैज्ञानिको ने इन सब बातों को एक अफ़वाह से ज्यादा कुछ नहीं मानते। माया कैलंडर, हो सकता हो किसी और की तरफ़ इशारा कर रहा हो। माया कैलंडर माया लोगो द्वारा बनाया गया था। यह भी हो सकता है कि, वे सिर्फ अपने समुह की बात कर रहे हो। बात जो भी हो, अब 21 दिसम्बर नजदीक है, सब पता चल जायेंगा। भारतीय पंडितो का मानना है कि, वर्ष 2012, परिवर्तन का वर्ष है। इस वर्ष, हमने अनेक प्रकार के घटनाए सुनी, देखी और पढ़ी। बड़े-बड़े घोटाले सामने आये, आतंकवाद, आन्दोलन सब हुए। कई प्रकार के दुर्घटनाओ में अनेक लोगो की जाने गयी, कई देशो को प्राकृतिक आपदाओ का भी सामना करना पड़ा। तीर्थ स्थानों की यात्रा में भी कई लोगो ने जान गवाई। तीर्थ  यात्रा तो शुभ होनी चाहिए, लेकिन दुर्घनाए हुई। क्या यह प्रकृति के नाराज़गी का संकेत है? क्या यह लोगो को सचेत कर रही है कि प्रकृति के  सम्मान में ही जीव का अस्तित्व है, अन्यथा विनाश! संस्कृत में माया का ...

  Everybody in this world experiences the same thing differently. When we talk to someone, we expect from that person to think like us or at least endorse our thought. If the person or a group is not thinking like us or not behaving like us or not endorsing our belief systems or not agreeing on our points; then we start berating that person or group. We forget that, every single person has different vantage point. It is not necessary for someone to think or act like you. We are entitled to be disagreeing on certain points; the same is applicable on others as well. Although, two persons have the same goal yet they differ in their approach according to their material nature, conviction and convenience of thinking. Here paradox may occur. When someone start thinking, acting and behaving like us and have the same goal and the same approach, the competition takes place at very extreme level. And with the competitions, jealous, hatred, despise, frustration, irritation etc. occurs. Th...

A famous proverb says “Practice Makes a Man Perfect.” Other says- “No one is perfect.”   Which one between two aphorisms is true? Even history has not found any perfect person so far. People make different kinds of records, has done stupendous of inventions and discoveries etc. It does not mean that those persons were perfect. If it would be like that then no records would have been broken and no new records would have been set, no new improvement would have been taken in the inventions and discoveries.   We can say that those persons were high performers, not perfect. Even the high performers would not be agreeing to say themselves a perfect. Perfect means end, there is nothing else can be done after this. A person can be expert, the best, but not perfect. It could be our measurement, which can indicate someone as perfect. In fact, there is no point existing where we can put a mark as perfect-mark, and can claim that the perfection has been achieved. Practice makes mer...

Lord Shiva is known as God of destruction in Hinduism.    He is an ascetic, and most of the time, He is found in deep meditation in secluded place. He is OK, until and unless, someone tries to disrupt His deep meditation.   No other gods have power to control lord Shiva, if He takes His Rudra form. Whoever deviate Him from His meditation for some evil purpose, He incinerates them to ashes. Once, Kaamdev tried to delude Him by putting the desire in His heart to get Him married with Parvati.

Lord Shiva found them on the path of unrighteousness and the danger for the creation. Although, those three demons were the great devotee of Lord Shiva, He incinerated them and their city Tripura into as...

बामुश्किल से कोई ऐसा इंसान होगा जो किसी की आलोचना न की हो या उसका कभी आलोचना न हुआ हो। कभी-कभी आलोचना करने या सुनने में बड़ा आनंद आता है। इंसान को अपनी तारीफ़ और दूसरो की आलोचना सुनना प्रिय लगता  है। दूसरो की आलोचना करना अच्छी बात नहीं है। पर हमारे आलोचक हमारे लिए फायदेमंद साबित होते है। जब कोई हमारी निंदा या आलोचना करता है, और हमे यह ज्ञात  होता है तो हम आलोचक पर क्रोधित हो जाते है। उसकी आलोचना का जबाब देने की तरकीबे खोजने लगते है। हमे यह लगता है कि, फलाँ व्यक्ति मुझे नीचा दिखाने  की कोशिश कर रहा है। यह नहीं सोचते कि शायद हमारे अंदर ही कुछ खामियाँ  हो, जो हमें दिखाई नहीं दे रहा है। इस आलोचना के माध्यम से , हमें हमारी कमियों का पता लगता है,जिसके बारे में  शायद कभी विचार न  किया हो कि  इसके    सुधरने पर हमारे ...

Hinduism as a religion has not been prophesied in any authentic scripture or old scripture before 1830. This is a misnomer, and still people use it widely to indicate a religion. The word Hindu is a geographical definition or name to address a group of people who are staying in the particular region. Hindu is not a religion, it is a region.                                       The Parsi and Arabs came to India. They were not aware about the name of the land (India). India is on the bank of river Sind. They started calling Hindu to the people who lived on the bank of river Sind. Initially it was Sindu, later it became Hindu. The Parsi and Arabs pronounce “S” as “H”, like “Saptah” became “Haptah”. Whoever is staying in this country and whatever religion he is following, is Hindu by geogra...

Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh (Shiva) are known as trinity gods in Hinduism. Brahma is the creator, Vishnu is the savior and maintainer, and Shiva is the destroyer.   Vishnu or other form of Vishnu is worshiped widely, and various temples are dedicated to him. Shiva, even though he is the destroyer, is worshipped more widely, and uncountable temples are dedicated to Him. Although, Brahma is the creator of the Jiva and universe, he is not worshiped widely, very few temples are dedicated to Brahma; one famous temple “Pushkar temple” is dedicated to him which is in Rajasthan. Why this prejudice with the creator? As per his work, he should be worshiped more widely than any other gods and goddesses. According to the Pouranic legends, Brahma sprang out from the lotus, which was sprouted out from the naval of lord Vishnu. Brahma and Vishnu started fight over the supremacy on other. During this fight a giant and infinite Linga, the phallus, appeared before them. They stopped their figh...
