Pranayama (Prāṇāyāma) is a combination of two Sanskrit words 'Prana' which means life force, vital energy or breath, and 'Ayama' which means to extend. This forms a part of various yogic practices devised in ancient India. Now a days almost everybody from school going children to college students and  private and public employees, business people etc., leads mechanical life in towns and cities. They find no time to concentrate on their health. Even they have no time to verify whether their food proportionately contains sufficient quantities of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, etc., required daily for their health. If such is the case where is the time for them to look after for their physical and mental fitness? With a view to give some tip to our readers, ViprasCraft is suggesting the following simple alternate breathing exercise in comfortable pose, also known as Anuloma-Viloma Sukha Pranayama (Comfortable alternate breathing exercise). Anulom-vilom is an eas…

Peace of mind is a mental state of calmness or tranquility, and  freedom from worry and anxiety.  The desire of every human being and the goal of every prayer is peace of mind. It   is a beautiful gift, which only we can give to ourselves just by expecting nothing from any one. There is no real  wealth in this world than peace of mind.   
Happy life is all about the art of balancing our relationship with all the  family members,  relatives and friends. It  can only be found if we  can free ourselves  of all other distractions. For every minute of being  angry we  lose the same amount of  happiness in our life.  It is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, kindness and gratitude. It will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have. We won't get real happiness  from what we get, but it comes  from what we give to others and other living beings.  Feeling some positive emotions every day has a big effect on our happiness and well being.  We f…

Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection and love  between people. In other words it is  familiar and liking of each others mind. It is not something we  learn in school.   Man cannot live all alone. He is a social being. He needs someone to share his joys and sorrows.  The strength of the bond of friendship between two people can vary. If the bond is very strong i.e., being kind, generous, loyal,  honest etc., between the friends, they are called BEST FRIENDS. With these qualities one can enjoy the bliss of friendship.

Friends are important to have because they support us when things get tough in life and are always there to love and help.   Friends will come and go in our lives.  A good friend is trustworthy to tell us  the truth, even when it is hard for us to hear, makes us  smile, and is there to listen and comforts when we cry. Having good friends who stood  first in difficult situations is really important.  A good  friend is one who admires a person's skills and h…

The experience of happiness and distress in life  are like appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons,  tolerate them without being disturbed. For the soul there is neither birth nor death or it cannot be destroyed. It is everlasting and imperishable. He who dwells in the body is eternal and can never be killed. Why you cry that you may lose something.? What did you bring with you, which you think you are losing now? What did you create your own,  which you think now that it is being destroyed? You came with empty hands, you will leave with  empty hands only.  Whatever is going to happen will definitely happen.  It is God's will. Don't worry about it unnecessarily

Be like a sage, who is not disturbed in spite of miseries nor delighted  when there is happiness, free from attachment, fear and anger. Be free from desires, devoid of false ego and then alone you attain Real Happiness.
Do your prescribed duty for the sake of God and free from bondages. You should do y…

The food we take is to be digested and the  undigested food if any shall come out as excreta from our body after 24 hours, otherwise we fell sick.The excess water we drink  shall come out within 4 hours, otherwise we fell sick.The air we breath in shall come out within one minute, otherwise we fell sick.As such, Anger, Hatred, Jealous etc., are within us years together. What will happen if they dwell in our body like that?  We become sick permanently.That is why our great saints say that we the fools feel that we are living daily....in fact we are dying to some extent day by day. If our age increases  what we presume....  is  our life span increases or decreases?We have to necessarily accept the bitter fact that we are dying daily to some  more extent from these negative energies.Anger, stress,hatred,laziness, etc, which are within us and not leaving us are making our lives deadly. The only way to give Prana Sakthi( Vital energy) to our body is Yoga and Meditation.Yoga builds strength…

In this smartphone age and virtual world of smartphone apps, is it worth keeping tens of screens to scroll through?

As a change you can try using just one smartphone screen for all your apps.

Look at the screenshot on my Poco F1 smartphone. This comes from my earlier experience of using Windows Phones where the tiles concept was making it possible to use folders so creatively without missing a notification.

If possible on Windows 10, why is it not possible on Android?

Now that Android has matured enough and is a robust OS, Smartphones look definitely better and do have many productivity features built-in.

However, that does not prevent you to have your own say about how exactly you want your smartphone.

You can just have one smartphone screen for all most used apps and you can use, if needed, further more screens for effectively utilising widgets.
