Doing Meditation either for Spiritual progress or for Peace or for Health is most beneficial

By
Those who MEDITATE regularly and do a little bit of Yoga and those who eat SAATTVIC food (food that causes Serene Behaviour) like Vegetarian or Vegan diet, will need less sleep, not more than 6 hours a day! We don’t make a scientific claim here, but based on the widely available information to the public on internet, we just put forward our observation based on experience.

There is a lot to be known about meditation for spiritual progress. There are many articles written on ViprasCraft about Philosophy and Spirituality.


Meditation as many of us know is a good and free medicine also for the ailments like Stress and Strain, to keep the problems like Blood Pressure (Hypertension) and Blood Sugar levels in control.

Meditation is a form of breathing exercise even if we do it unintentionally because, when you are RELAXED (as you reduce your brain wave frequencies by meditating) there is a natural phenomenon that causes you to breathe deeply which is good for health.

So Meditation aided by Pranayaama (direct breathing exercises) and a little bit of Yoga will make us PEACEFUL, healthy and make us consume less MEDICINES!

In Ashtaanga Yoga (8 phases Yoga) prescribed by Maharishi Patanjali, the order of Yogic phases for complete SALVATION were mentioned in this order.

1. Yama (Don'ts),
2. Niyama (Rules to be followed),
3. Aasana (Most of Hatha Yoga),
4. Pranayaama (Breathing exercise),
5. Pratyaahara (Restraining senses),
6. Dhaarana (Taking up an initiation),
7. Dhyaana (MEDITATION), and
8. Samaadhi (Nirvaana).

So MEDITATION is of utmost importance and it is said that by regular meditation we get the effects of the previous stages sooner or later! For more details about spirituality and the importance of meditation, you can read more in this post on Real goal of Human Life

Constant remembrance of God, and how to achieve it?

By
Constant rememb rance ( 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 a nd Shishupala , who constantly thought of 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 dee...

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...

Offering Heart(Hrudaya Kamalam) to God.

By
Man worships God, who gave him human birth in many ways. During the worship, he offers leaves, flowers, fruits or water to the extent of his ability.  It may be that offering this way is a sign of gratitude, but is a human being really capable of offering to God? If we think about it this way, we can say that it is not so perfect. God is the one who created the entire Universe. The gifts that a devotee gives to God are tiny. But if he does not offer something, the devotee's mind will not be satisfied. Once upon a time, a Yogi prepared to worship God. Then wisdom dawned within him. Performing each and every act of worship, he addressed the Lord thus... "O God Almighty, You are the Universe itself. So how can you be invoked? Where should you place your seat when you are the support of all creation? Why do you need water to wash your feet, since you are ever pure?  Why speak of a cure when you are Holiness itself? How shall you be bathed, who are eternally pure? What garment shal...

WiFi WLAN WPA2 Enterprise settings for Nokia, Blackberry, Android and Apple devices

By
Many companies are increasingly providing WiFi networks in their offices due to the flexibility the wireless network brings to the workplace and also due to the advancement in the mobile computing environment. Nowadays almost all the new computers, notably laptops, palmtops, tablets and smartphones all have WiFi LAN connectivity and compatibility in them. Nowadays it is a reality and it is easy to imagine a group of professionals sitting in a meeting room with all their notebooks, laptops, or Smartphones seamlessly connected, rather than tangling with LAN cables and sharing a cable for checking a shared document from the internal network drives. Coming to the point, now you may have your device but you might not be sure or even annoyed about how to use this option on your device, because every device is different in terms of version of a model, or the OS it is running, or the ecosystem it depends on, like Apple iOS and apps, Google’s Android, Windows 8, Blackberry OS, and so...

Who is Sadguru?

By
Image
Generally, everyone knows about Teacher/Lecturer, who educates the pupils. He teaches the knowledge of the subjects like English, Hindi, Science, Social, Maths, etc., But it is far away from the knowledge of spirituality and to know about God. He teaches about the activities in this realistic world, viz., the style of living and how to behave in the society. He teaches us how to make ourselves a perfect human being to live in society.  Whereas Guru gives us Gyan (knowledge) about God, and about spirituality. He teaches us the process to attain God or Almighty by his divine speeches or advice. Guru teaches us not only how to live life in this world but also life after death. A person who has a healthy body, wealth, fame, good family and abundant knowledge of Scriptures, epics, Vedas and Upanishads and he himself a great writer of scriptures but he has not surrendered himself at the feet of a Guru, then he has achieved nothing.  Sri Ramchandra Maharaj, founder ...

Wants and Desires

By
Generally we have some desires. It is quite natural. But we should not become slaves of our wishes. That means we should not have undue attachment towards the things. We see so many things with the idea of having them. This is not correct. To live in this world we need few things. Aspiring for them is not a vice. Food, water, clothes, shelter, education - all these things are necessities. We can aspire for them. So having things is not bad, but having undue attachment towards them is bad. If you are economically sound, you can have some more comforts. Otherwise you will be called a miser. But you should be in a position to live even without those comforts. That means you should always be prepared to live in all the circumstances i.e., in both favourable and unfavourable ones with utmost satisfaction and contentment. A happy man is one who lives happily in all circumstances.

Tapatraya (3 Cravings) of Humans and the suitable methods to suffice them

By
Tapatraya in Sanskrit, means 'The 3 Cravings (Anxieties)' of the Human Life. Trying for a thing or for a purpose with undue longing and anxiety is generally called as Tapatraya (Craving). This is the common man’s view. But spiritually this has got a different meaning, a meaning in true sense. These three kinds of cravings termed as Tapatraya are  - 1. Aadhi Bhouthika (Physical) , 2. Aadhi Dyvika (Mental) , and 3. Adhyatmika (Spiritual). The explanation of these three may differ from one school of thought to the other. But let us think according to our view.

If your Windows Phone got stuck at spinning gears while doing any Windows 10 preview updates, or due to any unknown reason, or even if you want to switch back to Windows 8.1 because you don't want to experiment further the preview builds of Windows 10 (unless you get the final version) you can try Windows Device Recovery tool before taking your phone to a service center.
