Opening of third eye is considered the greatest spiritual achievemnet. It is said when the third eye is opened, there is no more birth, and a person can access all those things which are beyond the reach of an ordinary human being.
It is fifth Hindu Month, between July and August. This month is famous for Lord Shiva across the India, all the Mondays in this month are considered special days.
The good thing is, these type of occasions produce positive vibrations, when most of the people shift their focus from other things to the God. The days of Navratris are also produce awesome positive vibrations.
This is interesting in Hindu Calender, there are occasions of everything: when to do special worship, when to celebrate ( remember Holi and Diwali), and when to remember older generations and show them gratitude, this is done during “Shradh.” And also importance of Moon and Sun is not behind. The early rising Sun and full Moon day, are considered to do most of the spiritual activities. Read More »
This term first I knew by my economics professor, who said,”After seven years of marriage a woman stands up from her bed, looks into window and analysis her marriage, her life partner and all …” Actually, both male and female are free to analyse their relationship at any time. But, sometimes we don’t have control when a plane takes off, if we force, it can only crash, or another thing we can do is to understand things with entirely new perspectives.
I feel sad, when I see people getting divorced in young age. Though the Itch can start anytime or never; it entirely depends upon several factors, mainly upon those which drive the relationship. It is easy to match compatibility with physical aspects, including money, that most of the people do, but these things do not drive the relationship at all. Just wondering … why don’t people care about other things before coming into a relationship. Or, the love is “really” blind to give itch later on.
Here they are, and also find eighty secondary characterstics. Once I read them in a book “Tripitaka,” it had 3 volumes, containing most of the things about Buddha. It is said that Goutama Buddha used to have all the physical characteristics of a great person. But it’s not necessarily true, if you remember the great enlightened sage Astavakra had his limbs broken from eight places and he wasn’t beautiful either. Read More »
“Just Shiva and Shakti. No, there is just God Father Shiva. No, there is just mother Goddess.”

Then the question comes “How to be a creative person?” First thing is: creativity can not be learned, though we can feel inspired and motivated by other person creativity. In fact, everyone is born creative, but most of the time our creativity goes buried when we start thinking “What would people say about it? It may look funny or stupid. And, somehow feel inferior and demotivated” And kill our own creativity.
I think the most creative people in this world are never concerned about dos and don’ts of other people, they only do what pleases their own heart, and with this single mindedness, they give unique and remarkable things. Read More »

If you beat this bowl, it starts vibrating with sound. And this sound is used for healing, relaxation, before beginning or ending a ceremony, or while chanting some mantra or hymn. This singing bowl remains at standing position, and it can be made of any size. Usually while healing, a person lies down and other person puts bowls around him, and beats each bowl at regular interval. Read More »
Good collection here, now if you don’t know what is Koan, in short let me tell you: it is the tool to stop the mind. It doesn’t activate the mind but it does activate the source of the mind, the self I would say.
Try few Koans and do tell me the sound of one hand clapping? Or, tell me in your dream-less deep sleep, where you exist?
Right now I’m not a father, neither married nor engaged. But I do sometimes feel about right fatherhood and motherhood, and I think following things parents should have before giving birth to a innocent baby, who would grow watching his parents.
Character: a firm character is needed, though mistakes happen, but a character who could differentiate between right and wrong is needed, its not like doing wrong thing every-time. It’s like to learn from mistakes (if happens) and to become of more solid character. If it is clean and firm character since the beginning, it’s awesome.
Mental level: incompetent mental level, produces weakness. It’s the foundation of everything, if it is weak, problems are bound to come.
Emotional level: emotions are energy, it can make anything up and down. It gives motivation, inspiration and satisfaction. It must be strong.
Spiritual level: parents should never teach their kids the “particular path,” leave them free as far as spirituality is concerned. Or, taught them universal things which are found in every religion.
Level of understanding: beyond the box thinking is needed, for growth and better consciousness. Read More »
