Greatness lies in the Simplicity

By
Sooner or Later a man who wins is who thinks he can.
No Defeat if final until you stop Trying!
You only control your action and not the results. So be not motivated by results, nor be attached to inaction.

See how simple and great are the above lines. It is true that Greatness lies in the Simplicity. To become great we shall not look at the great achievements or results attained by the Great people but shall look at the path they followed to become Great.
So if we make up our mind to do good to this world by our words and deeds, then by consistently following this good path, sure on one day we would become Great.

Coffee Making with Caffettiera

By
The Italian Coffee pot Caffettiera and its Constructional or design features are well described in the previous articles. Coffee making with Caffettiera is much easier if one understands its constructional features and there is no special method of making coffee using this appliance, but the only difference that we find in Coffee making with Caffettiera is by the way the coffee is made in contrast to the other common methods of making coffee. Generally, as the whole world knows, the way or the principle involved in ordinary coffee making involves three steps. First we take sufficient amount of coffee powder in a vessel, and add water to it. We heat the vessel until coffee is well boiled and gives a good aroma. Then we separate the solid particles from these solution or liquid by filtering it with a sieve or a cloth. We can directly consume the coffee made by adding sugar or milk according to our taste. A little variety can be a conventional filter coffee, still more com...

Parents' Role in Shaping Children's Behaviour.

By
Good behaviour is the outward expression of an inner order — it reflects a person's character, values, and consciousness. It is not just about manners or external politeness; it is the natural fragrance that arises from a well-cultivated mind and a pure heart. At the human level, good behaviour means living with respect for oneself and others, showing kindness, honesty and self-control in all interactions. In short, good behaviour is living in harmony with dharma, with a mind filled with love and a heart tuned to the higher purpose of life.  It is the bridge between human life and divine life.  In the fast-paced life of today, the meaning of good behaviour often gets blurred by ambition, technology, and competition. Children are quick to learn digital skills but slow to learn emotional sensitivity. The old foundation of respect for parents, teachers, and elders is weakening, not because the young are bad, but because guidance through examples has become rare.  Sri Ra...

Realisation of the Truth or God.

By
In the Vedic and Upanishadic tradition, Saksatkara, the direct realisation of Truth or God, is not described as an external vision but as an inner awakening of one's true Self (Atman) — a state in which the seeker directly experiences Reality without doubt. Saksatkara comes through inner purification, meditation and grace, not mere study. According to Vedic wisdom, saksatkara is direct experience, not belief.  It is a permanent inner transformation, not a passing vision, and it brings deep peace, fearlessness, detachment, and universal love. In other words, it is experiencing your true Self as one with Brahman, not imagination, not emotion, but clear inner seeing.  Brihadaranyaka Upanishad teaches that Brahman cannot be limited.  Anything we can see, think, or describe is limited. But Brahman is infinite and beyond all qualities.  So, the sages say 'not the body, not the mind, not the senses and not even thoughts. "Neti, Neti" removes all wrong identifications. ...

Role of Friends in Life.

By
The meaning and nature of friendship changes with the stages of life.  In real life, friendship does not remain the same throughout life. As a man grows, circumstances, ego, jealousy, misunderstandings, and economic differences slowly test relationships.  Many friends come close for some time and later move away.  This is natural reality of life.  Below is a more realistic view of friendship through the stages of life. 1. Age 4-6: At this age, friends are playmates. A child thinks a friend is someone who shares toys, plays games, and spends time together. Friendship is innocent and temporary.  If a quarrel happens, it is forgotten quickly.  2. Age 7-15: Friends become school companions. Children start forming small groups.  Friendship is based on studying together, playing sports, and common interests. Loyalty begins to develop, but it is still strongly influenced by surroundings.  3. Age 16-30: This is the period of multiple, significant life ...

Discipline

By
Image
  Discipline as the Foundation of Human Life: A Complete and Detailed Exploration Discipline is not a concept limited to classrooms, rules, or authority. It is the invisible structure that shapes every successful life, every stable society, and every wise individual. Without discipline, intelligence lacks direction, freedom becomes destructive, and potential remains unrealized. With discipline, even ordinary ability becomes powerful, consistent, and meaningful. Despite its importance, discipline is often misunderstood. Many see it as punishment, restriction, or the loss of freedom. Others believe discipline is necessary only for children, not for adults or elders. These misunderstandings weaken individuals and societies alike. Discipline is not external force; it is inner order . It is the conscious regulation of thought, behavior, emotion, and desire in alignment with reason, duty, and long-term well-being. The Bhagavad Gita presents one of the most profound explanatio...

Food for the Spiritual Life.

By
Ancient texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and Ayurveda describe a  "sattvic"  diet as the most correct and beneficial food for humans. The core teaching is that food influences one's mental and physical state, as well as their spiritual consciousness. The texts categorise  food  into three qualities, or Gunas. Satvic food  is the ideal diet for a peaceful, healthy and spiritual balance. It not only nurtures the body but also elevates the mind and spirit, guiding towards a more balanced and harmonious life. The diet includes fresh seasonal fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pulses, nuts, seeds, honey, fresh herbs and dairy products free from animal rennet.    Rajasic foods  are overly stimulating and include items that are excessively spicy, salty, sour, or bitter. Onions, garlic, coffee, and tea are also considered Rajasic and can lead to agitation and restlessness. Tamasic foods  are stale, heavy, processed, and impure. This catego...

By
For the stressed lives of many modern professionals today, Hypertension simply called as BP (Blood Pressure) is not a surprising thing at all. Everybody knows about it and many are affected by it, but at the same time one can’t avoid it unless they follow a disciplined lifestyle which must include a few minutes of exercise or any other physical activity, some form of meditation and other body relaxation techniques such as 'Yoga' and 'Pranayama' . And the drugs being used for controlling the hypertension are only changing some characteristics of the blood to reduce the burden on the blood pumping heart , but the problem will never be solved permanently, i.e., the permanent cure is not possible.

Tips and things to know before buying a HandyCam (Video Camera or Camcorder)

By
With the advancement in the Electronics day by day, there is an increase in the number of features if we define a limit to our budget and at the same time if you stick on to a particular model the prices are being considerably reduced with each passing month. Right from the luxurious Laptops, LCD TVs, Mobile phones up to the simple USB flash drives the trends are similar. And during the festival seasons like Christmas, Pongal, Dusshera, Diwali, etc, there could be some mind blowing offers too. Buying a video camera , nowadays, most popularly known as HandyCam , is of course a little bit tough decision to make. Because it involves a considerable number of technical parameters to be taken into consideration before buying it. Unlike a DVD Player where only the number of formats or the speakers connectivity that matters the most, or unlike a LCD TV for which the screen size and resolution that matter the most, for the HandyCam there are a number of technical specifications to be loo...
