The Blossoming Balance

Image
Strolling through the beautiful campus of Rishihood University last weekend got me completely consumed in the beauty of flowers and it cheered me up to capture its beauty on my phone. In some time I found myself lost in contemplation of florals, its growth, colours, beauty, design, fragrance, texture and touch. I wondered about the philosophy of flowers and how they inspire us to live a life in its entirety, encompassing joy, aspiration, progress, balance, truth, and the highest possibilities. (Views from Rishihood Campus) Flowers are the vibrations of our consciousness emitting abundant purity. Have you ever wondered about the spiritual significance of flowers? Or have you tried to decode their language of communication with us? Every flower in its own journey from blossoming till they die out teaches about willpower to progress, patience, balance, transformation and eternal giving. In the words of Buddha, Samatta (balance) isgained through the virtuous quality of balancing or equ...

Translation of Academic texts into Sanskrit - An Arduous task but worth the wait..!!

“ Sanskrit language, as has been universally recognized by those competent to form a judgment, is one of the most magnificent, the most perfect, the most prominent and wonderfully sufficient literary instrument developed by the human mind. ” - Aurobindo Sanskrit is the language of the future and is a repository of scientific and modern-day knowledge. While the West is quickly grappling with the Sanskrit fever to know about the advancements in this ancient language, we are busy aping the west which at the end of the day brings us back to our own inventions and knowledge. We realize that every modern invention or discovery or any idea finds its reflection in our ancient texts from flying objects, Yoga to viruses. While Europe and America are popularising Sanskrit Studies through the help of government and universities, Indian education is confined to Macaulay syndrome and busy treating Sanskrit as a third language.  NASA has been researching the scriptures of Aviation Science i.e Vim...

जनजातियां और हिन्दू धर्म

Image
  "अलगाववाद के इन नायकों का तर्क है कि ये 'आदिवासी' पेड़, पत्थरों और नागों जैसी चीजों की पूजा करते हैं। इसलिए वे 'एनिमिस्ट' हैं और उन्हें 'हिंदू' नहीं कहा जा सकता। ये एक अज्ञानी व्यक्ति का ही तर्क हो सकता है जिसे हिंदू धर्म की कोई समझ नहीं है । भारत में आज भी सभी लोग पेड़, तुलसी, बिल्व, नाग,गाय सूरज,पृथ्वी की पूजा करते हैं तो क्या हमें इन सभी भक्तों और उपासकों को 'एनिमिस्ट' कह देना चाहिए और उन्हें गैर-हिंदू घोषित कर देना चाहिए?” माधवराव सदाशिवराव गोलवलकर पिछले वर्ष भारत सरकार ने आज़ादी की लड़ाई  में विभिन्न जन जातियों के योगदान को याद करने के लिए बिरसा मुंडा की जयंती पर हर साल १५ नवंबर को मनाये जाने वाले दिवस को "जनजातीय गौरव दिवस" घोषित किया है।  उनके इस वीरतापूर्वक संघर्ष को मान्यता देने में देश की सरकारों ने ७५ वर्ष  लगा दिये । चलिए देर से ही सही, आखिर जन जातियों के योगदान को हमारी सरकार व हमने स्वीकार तो किया ।  जनजातियों को समाज के मुख्यधारा से विभाजित करना, उनसे संबंधित   तरह  तरह की भ्रांतियों को जन्म देना, और उनका विकास नहीं होने देन...

Western Nationalism: An imposed idea on INDIA

Image
‘Afzal hum sharminda hein Tere qatil zinda hain’ ‘Tum kitne Afzal maaroge? Har ghar se Afzal niklega’ ‘Bharat tere tukde honge Inshaallah, Inshallah’ This slogan was raised by Kanhaiya Kumar at the heart of India's capital. What they forget to understand is the other side of the fact that unfortunately India already has excessive unwanted azadi. • Azadi to fight for terrorists •Azadi to sell the country’s interests to CPC, China •Azadi to mock Hindu festivals •Azadi to crack jokes on Hindu Gods •Azadi to compromise on National Security •Azadi  to oppose Hindi language •Azadi to control temples • Azaadi to distort history •Azadi to ……..BREAK INDIA shows that there is a serious problem of psychological unity among us.  Defaming Indian Nationalism Nationalism is a much-maligned concept today at least in the leftist Marxist-dominated media and academia. With nationalism, Rashtriyata has also earned a bad name for itself. Firstly, nationalism is accused of causing wars. Because nat...

Understanding Panchang: The Indian Way Of Timekeeping

Image
  Chaitra Navratri marks the beginning of Hindu New Year which is celebrated with a lot of pomp and grandeur across India. It is a 9 day-long festival that celebrates 9 avatars of Goddess Durga. As part of the festivities, people visit Devi temples, observe fasts and recite mantras to elevate themselves spiritually.It is well known that Hindu festivals are an amalgam of rituals, rites, processions, fasting, feeding the poor, music and dance, religious ceremonies, and many other activities of traditional character. We can not imagine Hindu festivals without the inbuilt components like rituals, muhrats (auspicious beginnings), and Panchang (Vedic Hindu Calendar).   This article attempts to provide basic concepts of this 5000-year-old science called Panchang which is based on traditional astronomical knowledge whose calculations are awe-inspiring!! In a layman’s language Panchang is nothing but a “mirror of the sky”, in the form of ink and paper which tabulates the position and m...
