When we look at the working of Nature, we see ample evidence of inbred habits of action and reaction, which we call ‘instinct’ in the world of animals, and which we call the laws of physics in the material world. Consider how it is possible, for instance, that Monarch butterflies carry out a multi-thousand mile migration across four generations of butterflies. There are no schools for butterflies to learn what they need to do in the next generation, so we cannot call thus “nurture” — it is inbred into their genetic instructions.

As per the traditions, Lord Ganesha is worshipped first before beginning any puja or anything auspicious in homes or places of business. We invoke him at the beginning of every good thing by singing chants and thinking about Lord Ganesha, asking for success and prosperity. During havan or Yagya, small idols of Ganesha are created using mud or clay wrapped in molly threads and worshipped before beginning the Yagya asking the Lord for his benediction over everyone attending the

Even among those closest to one another, there remain differences of habit and temperament. Issues of personal grooming, dietary choices, choices in music or other media interactions, time commitments, interactions about caring for the common shared space all work to create minor daily irritations or even conflicts. Add to this interpersonal differences in intimate relationships and comfort within one’s own personal space and it is easy to see that achieving and maintaining harmony in relationships requires both constant awareness and a willingness to accept differences with equanimity.
When taking a test, why do people always tell you to trust your first answer? When do you remember some person's name that was elusively on the tip of your tongue earlier - in the shower or before you drift off to sleep? Why do we have some our greatest creative ideas in the shower in the morning? When you are doing a crossword puzzle and get stuck on a word for an eternity, why do people suggest that you put it down for a while? And, why is it that when you pick up the puzzl
We frequently identify success, as defined by our minds, as an indicator of divine Grace; yet this is driven in many cases by the ego, not by the larger viewpoint of the Divine. In a complex world that is undergoing evolutionary transformation driven by the manifestation of a new power of consciousness, the issue does not come down to immediate success of any particular line of action, but of how the total evolutionary process is taking up and addressing the obstacles, issues, conce s and needs that stand in the way of the manifestation.
As long as we remain on the surface of our being, and rely entirely on the physical senses and the nervous system of the vital being and the mental processes focused on these outer sensations, actions and phenomena, the inner depths of our being remain hidden from us, occult, and not quite treated as real.

Now, we have proof positive, that fear can be passed from one generation to another. This has been hinted at over the years because we have noticed some of the same fear traits transferred from one generation to another. 1 - In this study adult mice were made fearful of cherry blooms. 2 - Then these mice had offspring… Amazingly the young mice had the same fear of cherry blooms as soon as they were born. 3 - And this fear was shown to persist for at least 8 generations… we don’t know how long it would persist… they only took the study to 8 generations.

For most people, their lives are focused on their exte al relationships, their own individual self-satisfaction and their ability to manipulate their social and environmental reality to achieve objectives set by their ego-personality. Many do not have any meaningful relationship to any inner being or inner existence, and, if they are not solely occupied with survival, they spend considerable time and focus on entertainment and satisfying desires. Thinkers, writers, sages, and artists throughout history have reflected on this superficial existence and the limitations of it.

Taking the plungen By Diana Bourel, ntranspersonal therapist and yoga instructornnnnâRelationshipâ, a shiatsu therapist once told me, âis the last great human frontier.â nnHe was working on a pressure point somewhere between my shoulders as he spoke. Moments later, I was crying. A memory had bubbled to the surface under his skilled touch, and there I was, decades back in my own childhood. I was remembering the promise I had made myself after I was sent to Ecuador to l
The Divine Consciousness encompasses both a vast peace which can fill the being and bring the seeker to a realisation that all the exte al life details, about which so much worry and fretting take place, are relatively inconsequential in the larger scheme of things. When the peace descends, the seeker may feel separate from the action of the world, including his own individual mind-life-body as part of that exte al action. This is the experience that the Sankhya defines and which Sri Aurobindo describes as the separation of Purusha and Prakriti.
You have posed a very nice question! The last death in this world is termed as Nirvana. After achieving Nirvana, there is no rebirth. This state is considered as Moksha, wherein the Soul is free from the cycle of birth and death. Until the person does not achieve Nirvana, he continues to wander from one Gati (a life form) to another. Therefore, every living being, at the end of its life, achieves either a Gati or the ultimate Nirvana! As long as one has to continue taking bir

Today’s civilisation is fixated on possession and ownership of material things, and people are generally respected and honored for their ability to accumulate resources. This has led to extreme inequality in terms of the resources available for use by people on the planet, as a very small number of highly successful (in a material sense) people control ever-larger resources, while vast numbers of people go hungry or live a life of privation and suffering from physical want. The entire culture is permeated with suggestions, images and pressure to acquire and ‘own” more and more.
Dreams have kept researchers awake for the entire history of mankind. Where do dreams come from? Of what substance are they made? What significance do they have? The ancient Greek culture had oracles who interpreted dreams. The Old Testament of the Bible recounts the rise of Joseph in the land of Egypt through his ability to interpret the dreams of the Pharoah, and help the land prepare during seven years of plenty for a following seven years of drought.

A while back there was a young man who had lots of money and didn’t have any needs of any kind— and he was not giving or compassionate at all. When people would come to him asking for help he would turn them away. And when he came across a beggar on the street he would pass them by and not give them a second look— but soon everything would change.

Spiritual practices that focus on liberation from the nature attempt to achieve that liberation through abandonment of the exte al life and a one-pointed concentration on the spiritual consciousness. The integral Yoga has an additional goal of bringing the higher spiritual forces and knowledge, power, love and bliss into the life and transforming each element in the light of this new higher action. This comes about through a dual action of ascent and descent.

There is considerable confusion about meditation and concentration. They are, however, not quite the same. Achieving a meditative state inwardly can aid in the development of concentration. Certain forms of meditation utilize techniques that lead to concentration. Yet meditation can be calm, relaxed and peaceful without being a concentrated state of awareness that focuses on a single point, which is the definition of concentration. It can be ‘blank’ of ‘content’. Certain forms of meditation let the mind rest quietly in a state of vast general awareness, which is not ‘concentration’.
How do we recognise the Divine manifesting through an individual human being? Arjuna poses a similar question in the Bhagavad Gita, when he asks how to recognise the enlightened man. How does he walk, how does he dress, what does he eat, how does he act? Sri Krishna reminds Arjuna that the realised soul cannot be recognised by outer forms, but only by the inner spiritual consciousness at work in the individual. The needs of the outer world change and the individual must act according to those needs.
When we conjure up, in our minds, the idea of peace, we tend to give it a form of inaction, a ‘negative’ status. Similarly, peace to our vital nature is the absence of excitement or any form of energetic expression. For the body, we believe peace is a state of quietness that does not ‘do’ anything.
Once an individual recognises that there are three separate foundations of consciousness in the outer being, and that they are not simply part of one unified awareness, it becomes much easier to untangle the numerous strands of pressure internally and understand how to address and deal with the inner issues, conflicts, obstructions and difficulties. How many people struggle with issues such as kicking an addiction, or losing weight, only to blame themselves for a lack of will-power, when in fact it is not the will-power of the mind that is the issue, but some other physical or vital cause.
When there is too much of attraction towards material things, one cannot be spiritual â it is but naturalrnDonât think it has much to do with a particular generation as such; because in any generation, the percentage of people inclined towards spiritualism is always markedly far too low; the common mass is normally materialistic rather than being spiritualistic.

“Here are my top 7 herbs for weight loss… lose those extra 10 pounds fast” It is spring and summer is right around the corner… and it’s time to lose that extra 10 pounds. Devils Backbone - Studies with Devils Backbone over eight weeks showed increased weight loss compared to the normal group. In fact, they lost 187% more weight than the placebo group. Devil’s Backbone works by blocking cortisol from interfering with fat loss… and when we are stressed we produce lots of cortisol which is a stress hormone.
