The Power Within

Vaisakhi is celebrated in the Sikh community with pomp. This festival is not only a festival like other festivals. This festival contains much historical significance. Celebrating the good harvest on that day is one aspect of it. Sikhs are known for their sacrifice and courage. Many Sikhs in history have sacrificed their lives and luxury for the safeguard of the modesty of fellow human beings irrespective of their ethnicity. Their fight against atrocity and evil-doers is not only confined to their own community, but also for the entire humanity. Guru Tegh Bahadur who is the ninth guru of Sikhism fought against the atrocity of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. He fought for the protection for the Kashmiri Hindus who were being tortured and compelled for their conversion to Islam. Guru Tegh Bahadur fought for human rights and the freedom of religion throughout his life. Due to his fight and giving protection to the Kashmiri Hindus, he was arrested by the Aurangzeb`s men along with ...

You are very slow. You cannot achieve anything great in your life at this speed. Do your work fast. Learn fast. Eat fast. Quick …quick …fast …fast.  Many people may not be comfortable with such kinds of worlds. They have their own speed of executing their work. Unnecessary pressure does not work for them and deteriorates their performances. Everybody has their own speed, and every speed has their own purpose. If you change your speed because of others, you will lose its value and motive. It is not about only human being, every creature, every celestial body, plants and trees, rivers, oceans – they all have their own speed and path. Plants and trees have their own speed to grow and give flowers and fruits. Some trees grow very fast and others very slow. The speed of every river is different. The speed of waves and oscillations are different in different oceans and seas. They have their own purpose of their speed. A tree may grow fast and start giving fruits quickly, bu...

What we perceive with our physical eyes or senses is not the reality. That is an illusion . Reality cannot be seen with our physical senses. Reality exists beyond our physical senses. To conceive the reality we have to go beyond the trap of physical senses. That can be attained by profound discovery. With our physical eyes, it appears that the earth is stable and the sun is revolving the earth, now, we know that it is not true. It is just an illusion of our eyes. In fact, the sun is stable and the earth is continuously revolving the sun. The reality of the rotating behaviour of the sun and the earth came into our notice by intense discovery. We are so stupefied by our senses that whatever is told which is beyond the perception of our physical senses, we do not accept that easily. We revolt. When an Italian astronomer Galileo first time told about the reality of the movement of the sun and earth on the basis of his discovery, he was incarcerated. That was beyond the understa...

शादी से पहले वर और वधू के हर पहलू  का वाकायदा निरकक्षण किया जाता है कि वे करते क्या है , उनकी शिक्षा क्या है , उनकी आमदनी क्या है, उनका खानदान क्या है.... वैगरह - वैगरह... उसके बाद कुंडली मिलायी जाती है।  सब क़ुछ समाज और परिवार के अनुसार मैच होने के बाद दो लोग शादी के प्रणव सूत्र में बंधते नहीं, परन्तु, अक्सर समाज और परिवार के रीति-रिवाज़ के बंधन में बांध दिये जाते है। लेकिन प्यार में ऐसा नहीं होता - प्यार महज हो जाता है। प्यार जातीय पसंद होता है। शादी एक मुक्कमल चीज़ होती है और प्यार अधूरा होता है। मुक्कमल और अधूरा एक दूसरे का विरोधाभास होता है। एक -दूसरे के साथ नहीं रह सकते।  पूर्णता आते ही अधूरापन समाप्त हो जाता है।  शादी के बाद पति  और पत्नी  एक दूसरे में परफेक्शन ढूढ़ने में लग जाते है ।  एक- दूसरे को सुधारने  में लग जाते है।  एक-दूसरे के कमियों को उजागर करने में लग जाते है।   शादी हो गयी है मतलब की एक दूसरे  में कोई कमिया नहीं होनी  चाहिए। यही सुधरने और सुधारने में पूरी जिंदगी समाप्त हो जाती है। प्यार पफेक्शन का ...

Lord Mahavira was ridiculed and tortured when he started spreading his message to the world. He was taunted - what a naked man is going to teach to the world. People saw his external nakedness, but could not see the naked truth hidden in his external nakedness which he wanted to dissipate for the welfare of humanity. Despite all these torture and harassment, he continued spreading the knowledge to the humanity what he had acquired in his deep meditation and stringent penance. Lord Buddha was jeered and laughed, but he did not stop spreading the message and knowledge he had acquired in his deep meditation and penance. Jesus Christ knew he would be killed if he was going to spread the message what he had acquired in his deep meditation. That was against the faith of many people of that time and beyond the understanding of the common mind. Despite that, he continued spreading his message and knowledge to the world for the welfare of humanity. Eventually, he was crucified, but ...

On Chhath Puja, predominantly, the Sun is revered and worshipped. There are various rituals and customs of revering and worshipping Sun around the world. Various people in the various parts of the world express their gratitude to the god Sun in various ways. Mostly, rising sun is worshipped in the world. But, Chhath Puja is the only festival in this world where both rising and setting sun is worshipped equally. This festival has a very powerful and profound spiritual meaning. This festival and its rituals are so profound that this single festival is sufficient enough to teach us the entire essence of life and existence if its essence is properly understood rather than doing it mechanically. The rising and sinking sun are the symbolism of birth and death of the living beings on this planet. Birth and death is the reality of this existence. There is no new birth without death and there is no death if there is no birth. If there is no birth and death, the rhythmic movement o...

Water always flows downwards. This is an inherent nature of water. If you want to ascend water to some height, you have to put effort. On the other side, fire always goes up. This is an inherent nature of fire. Water and fire have opposite qualities. Former always goes down and later always goes up. One quenches the thirst, and another increases the thirst. One burns, another extinguishes. Despite the diagonal differences, one thing is common in them that is - Oxygen. Water is made of two atoms of Hydrogen and one atom of Oxygen- that is – H2O. Fire cannot burn without the presence of Oxygen. Both the elements are equally important for the sustainability of nature and creature on this planet. Their contradicting qualities create the balance in nature which helps in building a suitable environment for the living beings. They appear opposite however they work continuously together for maintaining a viable environment on this planet. The lives are not possible on other planets b...
