Is death great and a boon to humans?

By
Death is indeed very great because it is something fearful, but before it is the culmination of life's journey, the doorway to something beyond what our eyes and senses can grasp.   We spend our whole life building relationships, wealth, reputations, and attachments.  Death dissolves all of them in a single moment.  No power, position, or possession can stop it. It humbles the ego, liberates us from worldly limitations, pushes us to seek higher truth, equalises all beings, and opens the doorway to eternity. It teaches us detachment and humility. When we realise that everything here is perishable, our hearts naturally seek what is eternal...God, Truth, or the Self. Biologically, death gives way to renewal.  Old generations pass, new ones come. Without death, there would be no growth, no evolution, no space for fresh life. So, it is not a punishment but a part of nature's law as essential as birth.  LORD Sri Krishna in Bhagath Githa Chapteer-2 Verse 22 t...

Departed Souls

By
Death is the total cessation of life processes that finally occurs in all living beings. Generally, people think that if a person dies, the soul has departed from the body and further believe that the invisible part of a person or spirit manifest in that body continues to exist in some other form after the body has died. Lord Sri Krishna gives a very clear definition of death in Chapter 2 Verse 27 as follows: "Jatasya hi dhruvo mrityur dhruvam janma mritasya cha tasmad apariharye 'rthe na tvam shochitumarhasi" One who has taken his birth is sure to die, and after death one is sure to take birth again. Therefore one need not lament for the unvoidable process of birth and death. The soul known as the Atman is the eternal and divine essence within each living body. It is considered to be the individual's true self, distinct from the physical body and the mind. Though many people have some knowledge about the teachings of Lord Srikrishna, with regard to birth and deat...

Adopting Vegetarianism is easy, being Health conscious and compassionate towards Animals

By
If Humans become genuinely spiritual not for the sake of society but for one's own self, become more health conscious, develop compassion and love towards Animals, they switch over to vegetarianism. We don't intend to hurt any of your feelings, but as it was rightly said by ISKCON, "You are what you eat!" This is also correct, because your food is mainly responsible for your behavior whether you are intelligent or cunning or lazy or anything else. Everything we eat contributes in one way or the other to one of our qualities. If you eat food derived from the plants, you would be peaceful, sharp, healthy and with good behavior. If you eat more meat and less vegetarian, you would become lazy, more prone to illnesses and ill-mannered in your behavior. This can be noted, in fact, by any one of us observing our surrounding people whose food habits are known to us.

Varna and Caste System

By
Image
Varna is the nature of an individual based on gunas(Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas) and activities in  which one is interested in a particular kind of job or occupation to earn a living, and Caste means a lineage of an individual about which job or profession his/her very early ancestors used or made to do as a family profession. The whole varna was made keeping in view the dharma that one had to follow.  Varna was never considered by birth if we go through the following instances of our great literature. In Srimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter IV Verse 13, Lord Krishna clearly states that the four Varnas are based on their work and their basic nature and not related to birth at all. "chātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛiṣhṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśhaḥ  tasya kartāram api māṁ viddhyakartāram avyayam" The four varnas have been created by Me through a classification of the gunas and activities. Even though I am the creator of this system, still know Me to be the non-doer and eternal. Lord...

WHY HINDUS WEAR TILAK(BINDI) ON THE FOREHEAD?

By
Image
Hinduism is not a religion.  It is Hindu Dharma, a  way of life.   Hindu dharma has many specialties.  It is known as Sanathana Dharma.  Sanathana means always existing,  eternal,  which cannot be destroyed by anything and everlasting. Dharma means, the way of life with all Aachaaras or customs and rituals.   In each and every aachaara there will be a hidden scientific reason.  All acharaas are followed for the mental and physical health;  long life;  prosperity and wealth; for strong family and social bondage.  Following the aacharaas as per our Dharma, give a fine personality, dharmic outlook, and vision. In India, everyone follows aachaaras for the above-mentioned psychological, physiological family relation, and social benefit viz.,  though we follow different religions we belong to one Country.  It is everyone's right and duty to understand scientifically and logically the meaning of each and every...

Constant remembrance of God, and how to achieve it?

By
Constant remembrance(Smarana, dhyana, or abhyasa of God) is not 'thinking of God every second', which is impossible for the restless mind, but cultivating a deep, natural undercurrent of awareness of God's presence in the heart, which flows alongside all duties.  It is not just when you sit in meditation, but also while living, working, and interacting with others.  This is not merely the mechanical repetition of God's name, but an inner state of feeling connected to Him. Smarana  is often described as an unbroken stream of thought directed towards the Divine, leading to a constant state of awareness. The Puranas also present examples, such as the liberation of Kamsa and Shishupala, who constantly thought of Lord Krishna out of animosity, to demonstrate that continuous mental focus on the Supreme Lord can lead to liberation, even in unusual contexts.  Dhyana  in Sanskrit comes from the root "dhyai"-to think, to contemplate. It is a deep ...

Value of the Human Body.

By
The Human body, which is useless if life is lost, should be preserved as long as life lasts. Has this body always been like this? No, the body that is now beautiful, firm, and attractive will, after some time, become loose, unattractive, emaciated, and eventually fall off. We must not forget this. We must always remember that this body is not me; it is only an instrument that I use. Just like how I use my watch carefully, how I keep it clean, how I get it repaired when it won't work, and how new parts are installed I should keep the body in the same way, clean, well-dressed, nourished, and beautified. It should be kept healthy, and if necessary, the failed organs should be repaired through medicine. But we should not forget one thing and remember that it is a tool to be used for an important task because it is not permanent. It should be used wisely and carefully for knowing the truth and for the realisation of God but not for the purpose of only feeding it. Waste paper, bro...

Italian Coffee Pot Caffettiera is Simple yet Amazing

By
What is Caffettiera? Somehow, if anyone have found this word Caffettiera, it is difficult to understand what it exactly means? Caffettiera is an Italian word which means the ‘coffee pot’. Caffettiera, the Italian coffee pot is not only an amazing gift but also the cheapest and the best gift that the visitors can carry to their countries if they have not yet found in their places. It is amazing and has a sleek and stylish look due to its symmetrical design and construction. It is just a coffee pot but there are some hidden basic principles of physics or engineering that one can observe in it. Though there are many methods of making coffee, some traditional and some advanced methods employing machines, it is always special to have some coffee pot like Caffettiera which is very simple, very easy to use and which virtually don’t need any maintenance. It is said to me by some of my Italian colleagues in the office that Caffettiera is specific to Naples (Napoli) whi...
