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...

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...

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...

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 ...

  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? When we offer anything to God, the materials in that offering are all the creation of God. If we consider this perspective, we can say that it is not so perfect, because there is nothing of our own in that material offering. God is the one who created the entire Universe. But if the devotee does not offer something to God, his 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?...

Most people of major religions disbelieve in reincarnation or rebirth and firmly believe that the present life is only a test for the next life after death. They believe that after death, the soul will be judged according to how each person lived their life.  A day will come when the whole universe will be destroyed and the dead will be resurrected for judgment by God. They will then go to heaven or hell depending on that judgment. Those who believe in God according to their religion will be admitted to Paradise forever and the non-believers will be sent to Hellfire. Various forms of life exist such as humans, plants, animals, birds, insects, worms, bacteria, etc., and they have a life cycle that undergoes metabolism, growth, reproduction, evolution, etc., over several generations. Birth is the process of bringing forth an organism from the uterus or womb from the body of its parent. Life is something that really exists that processes, acts, reacts, evaluates, and evolves. Life is ...

      By B.E.Sampath Kumar.                          The concept of  Mind is a complex and multifaceted one that has been debated and explored by Philosophers, Neuroscientists, psychologists, and many other thinkers across various disciplines.  According to the Philosophical perspective, it is a non-physical entity that enables consciousness, thought, and intentionality.  It  is the seat of subjective  experience, perception and awareness. From a Neuroscience perspective,  the Mind is the collection of cognitive functions that arise from the brain's neural activity. It results from complex interactions between neurons, neurotransmitters, and brain regions, enabling thoughts, emotions, memory, perception, and consciousness.  According to the Psychological perspective, the Mind is a dynamic system that processes information perceives, learns, remembers, and adapts. ...
