Living In present

When I was given an opportunity to write about “Live in Present” that sounded daunting as I was not living in the present. I started off by using one of Param Pujya Dadashri’s principles of doing “Samayik” – a process of introspection in one’s life. During the introspection, I observed that when I talk to people, I am not present and keep thinking about how I will respond to that person or my mind wonders about other things that need to be resolved. I also reali

“Health Benefits of Pressure Cooking”

Pressure cooking is a very healthy way to cook food to preserve more nutrients and shorten the cooking time for beans, grains, and other foods. Here are a few wonderful attributes of pressure cooking. I personally have to say that for years I was against pressure cooking because I was under the notion that it was dangerous. And that all nutrients were lost with pressure cooking—but I was wrong. Todays modern digital pressure cookers are amazingly safe, easy to use, and retain more nutrients… that I had to change my mind.

Science Behind Rebirth

Many people do not believe in rebirth. However, they do use words like lucky-unlucky OR good luck-bad luck. Now, these words directly suggest rebirth, don’t they?... for on what basis would one person become lucky and another unlucky otherwise? If there is nothing like rebirth and if it is God who has created everyone, then we all should be sharing the same luck. And moreover, we all should look identical and of the same mould. Why should one person be short and the other t

Mind

Mind is the part in our internal functioning mechanism where thoughts arise. This mind, on a daily basis, produces thousands of endless, repetitive thoughts. And not knowing how to deal with these thoughts, it creates such a turbulence within us, that we feel sick and tired of this mind, but can’t find ways and means to come out of its clutch. Lord Krishna has said in the Gita that mind is the very cause for man’s bondage and mind is the cause for man’s freedom too. So

Choose to Rise Above Yourself

Here is a great spiritual secret: the only time we ever "fail" at anything in our lives is when we mistakenly walk away from what has challenged us before we've allowed it to teach us its secret ways. Imagine we want to learn a new skill; for fun, let's say we'd like to run the high hurdles (a lot like life, isn't it?). Perhaps we buy an instruction book; maybe go watch runners compete at the track. A good beginning, but eventually we must learn by doing; we must leap for our

The Inner Ideals of Ordinary Human Life and the Divine Life

The highest ideals of humanity can be looked at from the point of view of human capability or from the view of a divine purpose to the manifestation. The difference in viewpoint leads to different focus and result. From the human viewpoint, we would look at how to improve, perfect and optimize the capacities of our mind, life-energy and physical bodies. For the physical body, we see a strong emphasis on achieving new feats of physical fitness and performance, increasing the strength and resiliency of the body, and reaching new heights of human accomplishment.

Remembering One’s Dreams Upon Waking

Western psychology has been fixated on dreams and dream interpretation since the dream interpretation work of Sigmund Freud. C. G. Jung took the review of dreams deeper by exploring what he called the ‘collective unconscious’ and the archetypes and symbols that arise widely in dreams. Dreams have always had an outsized importance for people, and ancient cultures had shaman priests who were adept at interpreting dreams. Shakespeare attributed significance to dreams and used them as a way to move the story he was telling forward.

Understanding the Nature of Fear and Its Effects on the Being

Wherever we focus attention, we create a direct relationship with the object of that attention. It may be through aspiration towards a higher consciousness, devotion to an ideal or through love for a revered guide or teacher; or it may be through the reaction of fear about some person, event or circumstance. However it comes about, this focus creates a beacon or signal to the object of focus to interact with us.

“Foods that Create Qi Energy”

Many foods are vital to our life because they contain lots of Qi energy, while others deplete our energy. Here is a list of foods that help bring Qi energy into our body, and thus creating and maintaining youthful vigor… with energy over a life time. Greens - Greens are vital to the flow of Qi energy in the body. Take for example eating a nice green salad and waiting 5 minutes, soon we feel invigorated with energy to burn.

When you are feeling gratitude, it is helpful to acknowledge the gratitude and really allow yourself to feel it and to sustain it with positive statements that express the feeling in that moment. Essence is in love with all of life and bursting with joy over the miracle that it is. The ego dampens this

How to Overcome Fear

A number of years ago, a crowd of anti-war protesters in Washington DC were gathered in front of a federal building and were suddenly confronted with a phalanx of heavily armed police wielding guns, batons and potentially tear gas cannisters, arriving with numerous paddy wagons, who surrounded them and began to move in.

Comparing Thought and Intuition as Problem-Solving Methodologies

The West, in particular, believes in the power of thought to solve problems. The educational system focuses its attention on analysis and categorization, and eventually adds the precepts of logical thought as a methodology to work through problems step by step. The scientific method, as it is called, tests a hypothesis by setting up experiments and systematically eliminating options that do not fit, until a conclusion is reached that fits the facts to the hypothesis. The systems of logic follow a strict line of development forcing a ‘solution’ at the end of the process.
