Do you know which star is the closest to the earth, When I was student my teacher asked the question to me and at that time my answer was sun, and the answer my teacher expected form me was "Proxima Centauri" but i surprised  him by saying it is the sun. But yes it is granted. But the next closest star to the earth was "Proxima Centauri" . It is approximately about 4.2 light years from the earth. Do you know what about ancient called the 'Proxima Centauri' is "Mitr" (Meaning- the friend) , is that's a coincidence? that they named the closest star as 'Mitr'. It also  shows that they know the difference between planets and stars. Here is the Modern value of speed of light 186,282.397 miles/sec. Now just look after to this 'Shloka'. One 'Nimisha' is the amount of time need to blink your eyes and 1 'Yojana' is around 8-9 miles. this particular 'Shloka' that you see here is actually the formula to calcul...

Think India and thought that comes to mind are pictures of majestic temples of the land. These temples were not just immensely beautiful architectural wonders.   They were also places of immense spiritual strength. Scientific analysis has today proven that these temples  were built over areas of maximum positive energy. (Emanates Positive Energy). The 'Moolasthana' or 'Garbhagriha' was built at the spot where energy was maximum. The idol was placed and the 'Garbhagriha' built around it. This point indicated the place of maximum positive energy. Placed below the idols were copper plates with vedic inscription capable of absorbing and radiating energy. When a person visited a temple and walked around the 'parikarama' they came within the radius of this magnetic field thereby imbibing a lot of positive energy. The result was that the visit to the temple rejuvenated his body, mind and soul. (Rejuvenates entire human being). Many time thoughts comes to me ...

when astronomy seems to be the science going outside,  Meditation is the science going inside, there is quite an adventure waiting for us inside as well. I used to often wondered what the ancient people could have thought when they saw so many stars in the sky, when they saw the planet and moon. They must have made some amazing stories and their imagination could have taken them on many flights of fancy.  I was amazed that how mistaken i was about what i thought ancient Indian to know about astronomy.  I will be discussing a few things about ancient Indian what they knew about astronomy that will take peak of your interest to know more.   1. For a very long time everybody assumes that the earth is flat.

Sanskrit is a language which people ...

Namaste: The traditional Indian Greetings : Joining both palms together to greet. A Gesture which marks respect reverence and love for the person we greet. Have you ever wondered, why do we greet people in this way? In yoga this gesture is called Anjali Mudra. It is a well known fact that the tips of the fingers are major energy points.When we bring together the palms of our finger linking tips of our finger, then the nerve circuits of the brain are linked to those of the upper body. A feeling of calmness and well being immediately descends. Also in yoga each finger is representative of a certain energy. The little finger represents Tamas or dullness. The ring finger represents Rajas or activity. The middle finger represents Satwa or refinement. The index finger is the individual soul or jeevatma and the Thumb is the paramaathma or the ultimate soul.  Namaste; Also mean, I honor the place in you in which the entire universe resides.I honor the place in you which is of light,...

In life, we don't get all t...

The story of the Gita is the story of Indian civilization itself.  We know the Gita as Krishna's counsel to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurushetra . But was it Krishna who created it? or  was it poet Ved Vyasa who was speaking the truth of the universe through Krishna? Does Sanjaya , who told blind king Dhritarashtra all that he saw happening in a far away battlefield, deserve any less credit? What about all the poets and philosophers who sang, recited, wrote down, or translated the Gita for people like us? This is their story- the story of the Gita r ight before the final confrontation between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, Krishna, who is the universe personified, rescues Arjuna from paralyzing doubt by giving him the essence  of Vedic thought- The Bhagwad Gita. Vyasa told the story of the Mahabharata to his disciple Vaisampayana, who told it to Romaharshana, who told it to Sauti,who told it to Shaunaka in the Naimisha forest.  Four thousand ...

It has been circulated and gone round the globe many times and it's good to reflect on how fortunate and blessed we are.... Today, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman and wished I were as beautiful. When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle. She had one leg and used a crutch. But as she passed, she passed a smile.     Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I have two legs; the world is mine . I stopped to buy some candy. The lad who sold it had such charm. I talked with him, he seemed so glad. If I were late, It would do no harm. And as I left, he said to me, " I thank you, you've been so kind. It's nice to talk with folks like you. You see,"he said, "I'm blind." Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I have two eyes; the world is mine. Later while walking down the street, I saw a child I knew. He stood and watched the others play, but he did not know what to do. I stopped a moment and then I said, Why don...

Karma: (in Hinduism and Buddhism) the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences. When Lord Krishna returned home after the battle of Mahabharata, his wife Rukumani confronted him. "How could you be part to the killing of Guru Drona and Bheeshma , who were such righteous people and had a lifetime of righteousness behind them." Initially Lord Krishna avoided her questions but when she did not relent, he replied "No doubt they had a lifetime of righteousness behind them but they both had committed one single sin that destroyed all their lifetime of righteousness". Rukumani asked "And what was the sin?" Lord Krishna replied "They were both present in the court when a lady (Draupadi) was being disrobed and being elders they had the authority to stop it but they did not. This single crime is enough to destroy all righteousness of this world. Rukumani ...
