Q & A  with DR.SUNIL KAUSAHL Ayurvedacharya  (IBIBO.COM)
CONSULT With ur doctor too******

To remove gall bladder stones without surgery is to follow the following treatment schedule:


1. Every day grind 10g. papayya root with water, strain & drink, empty stomach in the morning. Take the whole root of papayya tree which was recently uprooted, wash & clean the root and keep in fridge, every day cut a pc. of average 10g. and make its juice as said above.

2. Surendrabhra Vati : 1 tab. morning & 1 tab. evening (this medicine is not very popular as very few people go for gall stone remedy and approach an Ayurvedic doctor, most people opt for sergical removal of gall bladder, so no company other than Nidco produces this medicine.

There are hundreds of medicines which are not produced just because they do not sell but are really effective and can abort many operations and health problems. All companies produce medicines which are hottest selling.

I am 36 years, I have Gas trouble. kindly suggest best remedy ?
Thier are only two reasons of gas trouble, one remaining empty stomach for long and second, undidested food that ferments in your intestines.


Do not eat old food which is again and again kept in fridge and heated in microw. Try and eat fresh food, leave maida (fine flour & sugar), yeast (breads) and fortified food, preservatives containing food, tinned/canned food.

Take a 1/4th inch (cube) of ginger with salt just begaing a food twice a day.

Treatment:

1. Hingwashtak churna : one tsp. with little ghee with first bite of food twice a day

2. Lavan Bhaskar Churna : one tsp. after meals with water twice a day.

3. Arogyavardhini Ras Vati : 2 tabs twice a day after 1/2 hr. of meals twice a day.

4. Water kept in copper vassel over night : drink two glasses empty stomach in the morning and 2 glasses evening at about 7 p.m. (your liver need copper and you give very less copper in your food to your liver).

Follow the above advices and report back in 15 days. Hope, you will be fine.

I am been recently suffering from high blood sugar and want some home remedies to keep under check. We have its family history. I am 45. Please suggest...sunil?
Eat less carbohydrates, do breathing excercise every day, do brisk walk every evening, eat or drink pomegranate/juice every day as it rejuvenate pancreas.


Eat only roti or only rice at a time do not mix both at a time.

Eat healthy breakfast (not in quantity but quality), include almonds, milk etc. as before diabetes you have to worry about the effects of diabetes that is biggest on LDL colesterol, weakening of eyes and kidneys.

Incude some herbs in your daily diet as diabetes is called in Prameha Rog catagory and is called Madu-meha and triphala balances the body of any type of prameha. Take one tsp. triphala powder with water at night.

Avoid dinner as carbohydrates and sugars taken at night are not burnt as calories and never spent, try and take either fruit salad (of assorted fruits) or vegetable salad (assorted vegetables) do not mix fruits and vegetables, at the time of dinner. You have no problem with fructose and vegetables salads have very low sugar but high fiber which will give you good bowl movement to reduce any chances of blockages in stomach to rise absorption of more and more sugar.

Keep a 1" piece of giloy in mouth during the day and let its juice included with saliva and swallow it till you stop feeling bitterness of it. It increases immunity and the main cause of type two diabetes whare your pancreas is producing insulin but your thymus gland is sending WBC's to kill that thinking it is an antibody.

With all the above advices, trust me, i have cured thousands of pre-diabetics and those who have been diagnosed diabetic but not started medicine yet.

I will also suggest all old diabetic patients also to try and follow this lifestyle to at least reduce effects and side effects of diabetes and reduce the size of medicine they have been taking.

Best of luck to you all.

Now i have top floor flat and i have grown neem tree on top of that pipal tree and on top of that giloy they have grown successfully, I hope i will be able to produce successfull medicine for hepatitis ABC etc. in shortest possible time.

It cures many other diseases such as skin, hair, high cholesterol, gall bladder stones etc. etc.
 
How can you reduce SGPT for a liver test?
The extracts of Phyllanthus niruri mixed with curd taken every morning for a week will reduce SGPT level in blood serum.


It also regulate the amount of liver enzymes in blood.
The extract of Phyllanthus niruri is one of a good medicine for jaundice in India.

मस्जिद कैसे बने?--Written By : - साध्वी चिदर्पिता

एक मुस्लिम् मित्र मिलेl खुले दिलोदिमाग के व्यक्ति हैं तो राम मंदिर पर चर्चा चल निकलीl लगे हाथ उन्होंने उच्चन्यायालय के फैसले पर बधाई भी दे डालीl मैंने कुछ हैरान होकर उनकी ओर देखा तो हँसते हुए बोले कि बधाई आपको ही नहीं हमें भी है, हमारी भी तो बला टलीl अब मुझे खुल कर पूछना पड़ा, कैसे? उन्होंने कहा कि जो लोग अयोध्या की लड़ाई लड़ रहे हैं क्या वे यह बता सकते हैं कि पहली मस्जिद कहाँ और कैसे बनी थी? अगर जानते हैं तो इस लड़ाई का औचित्य ही नहींl अब मेरी जिज्ञासा बढ़ने लगी और मैं सतर्क होकर उनकी बात सुनने लगीl उन्होंने आगे कहा कि पहली मस्जिद मदीना में बनीl जब मोहम्मद साहब मस्जिद बनाने के लिए ज़मीन देख रहे थे तो लगभग हर व्यक्ति अपनी जगह देकर मस्जिद बनवाना चाहता थाl उन्होंने उसका हल निकालते हुए कहा कि मेरी ऊंटनी जहाँ जाकर बैठ जायेगी, मस्जिद वहीँ बनेगीl ऊंटनी जहाँ बैठी उस ज़मीन के मालिक दो नाबालिग यतीम बच्चे निकलेl अब दूसरी परेशानी खड़ी हो गयी कि उनसे ज़मीन कैसे ली जायेl आखिर में एक धनी उनके पास गया और उनसे ज़मीन की कीमत पूछीl बच्चों ने जो कीमत बताई उससे कईं गुना कीमत उन्हें अदा की गयीl ऐसे उस ज़मीन पर पहली मस्जिद नबवी बनीl मुस्लिम धर्म में किसी भी झगड़े की ज़मीन पर मस्जिद बनाना सख्त मना हैl किसी और इमारत को तोड़कर मस्जिद बनाना भी मना हैl जिन्होंने यह कहानी सुनाई वे काज़ी साहब के सुपुत्र और जाने-माने एडवोकेट है. उनकी बात पर शक का सवाल नहीं था पर फिर भी मैंने चेक किया तो पाया कि वे एकदम सही थे. मैंने कुछ धृष्टतापूर्वक कहा कि कहीं यही तो कारण नहीं था जिससे शाहजहाँ ने सुंदर शिव मंदिर को मस्जिद न बनाकर मकबरा बना दिया? उन्होंने कुछ मुस्कुरा कर कहा हो सकता है. ज़ाहिर सी बात है कि अगर ताजमहल मकबरा न होकर मस्जिद होता तो दुनिया की सबसे खूबसूरत मस्जिदों में उसका नाम होताl अब अगर अयोध्या में मस्जिद बन ही नहीं सकती तो क्या करेंगे ज़मीन लेकर? राम की जन्मभूमि पर उनका मंदिर बन जायेगा तो किसी का क्या बिगड जायेगा?


कभी कहीं सुना था, आज याद आ रहा है,

हमीं हम हैं तो क्या हम हैं, तुम्हीं तुम हो तो क्या तुम हो? (लेखक अध्‍यात्‍म जगत से गहरे जुड़ी हैं।)

संस्कृत पांडुलिपियों का संरक्षण जरूरी
 
 
रायपुर के संस्कृत महाविद्यालय में इंदिरा गाँधी राष्ट्रीय पांडुलिपि मिशन के सौजन्य से पांडुलिपियों को सहेजने की विधियों को लेकर कार्यशाला चल रही है। नष्ट होती संस्कृत की महान विरासत को बचाए रखने के लिए ऐसे प्रयास काफी अहम हैं। संस्कृत महाविद्यालय में बड़ी संख्या में पुरानी पांडुलिपियाँ हैं जो संरक्षण के अभाव में खराब हो रही हैं, कार्यशाला से इन्हें सहेजने में मदद मिलेगी।

कार्यशाला में परंपरागत तरीकों से पांडुलिपियों को सहेजने की विधियाँ बताई गई हैं। यह काफी उपयोगी हो सकती हैं, क्योंकि इन्हीं विधियों के प्रयोग से ऋग्वेद की कुछ ऐसी पांडुलिपियाँ भी संरक्षित रहीं जो हजार साल पहले लिखी गई थी।

फिर भी यह कहना होगा कि इस संबंध में आधारित ढाँचा बनाए बगैर इस प्रकार की कवायद व्यर्थ ही होगी। पांडुलिपियों के संरक्षण के लिए एक तंत्र तैयार कर सरकार को संरक्षण की आधुनिक विधियों को अपनाना होगा, जैसा कि भंडारकर शोध संस्थान, पुणे जैसी संस्थाओं में अपनाया जा रहा है। इन्हें न केवल संरक्षित करने की जरूरत है, अपितु इनके विषय-वस्तु का अत्याधुनिक विधियों द्वारा स्कैन करना भी जरूरी है ताकि इन्हें जरा भी क्षति पहुँचाए बगैर इनकी सामग्री सुरक्षित रखी जा सके।

दरअसल, जब भारत में मैकाले शिक्षा पद्धति लागू की गई तो एक षड्यंत्र के तहत केवल यूरोपीय पद्धति पर आधारित शिक्षा को भारत में लागू किया गया। इसके पीछे मकसद केवल क्लर्क तैयार नहीं करना था, अपितु साथ ही भारत के पाश्चात्यीकरण की तैयारी भी करनी थी, लोगों के मन में संस्कृत भाषा के प्रति हीनभावना भरनी थी।
जब आधुनिक शिक्षा पद्धति पर प्राच्यविदों और उपयोगितावादियों में बहस छिड़ी तब मैकाले बीच का रास्ता निकाल सकते थे जिसमें आधुनिक ज्ञान भी शामिल होता और 4000 से भी अधिक साल का संचित ज्ञान भी, लेकिन ऐसा नहीं हुआ। संस्कृत केवल धर्म-कर्म की भाषा रह गई और अंग्रेजी ज्ञान-विज्ञान की भाषा के रूप में जानी गई। यही वजह है कि नई पीढ़ी के जो बच्चे हैरी पॉटर श्रृंखला के प्रति दीवानगी दिखाते हैं। पंचतंत्र जैसी रचनाओं के बारे में अनजान हैं, जबकि इनमें एक सुंदर कहानी के पीछे एक संदेश भी निहित था जो भारतीय शिक्षा पद्धति का सार था।

NDपांडुलिपि संरक्षण के संबंध में हमारी लापरवाही का नतीजा ही था कि भारत में सबसे पहली बार संस्कृत सीखने वाले प्राच्यविद विलियम जोन्स को अभिज्ञान शाकुन्तलम की केवल एक पांडुलिपि ही मिली और वह भी बांग्ला लिपि में। जब विलियम जोन्स ने अभिज्ञान शाकुन्तलम पढ़ना शुरू किया तो अध्ययन के मध्य ही उन्होंने अपने पिता को पत्र लिखा कि मैं दो हजार वर्ष पुराने एक संस्कृत नाटक का अध्ययन कर रहा हूँ, इसका लेखन हमारे महान लेखक शेक्सपीयर के इतना निकट है कि ऐसा भ्रम होने लगता है कि शेक्सपीयर ने कहीं शाकुन्तलम का अध्ययन तो नहीं किया।


जोन्स का यह पत्र उस समय प्रकाशित नहीं हुआ अन्यथा यूरोप में बड़ी खलबली मचती। मैक्समूलर ने जिन्होंने 'सेक्रेड बुक ऑफ ईस्ट' की रचना की, संस्कृत साहित्य के बारे में लिखा कि शुरुआत में संस्कृत समझना काफी जटिल होता है, लेकिन जब आप अभ्यस्त होते जाते हैं तो ज्ञान का अपूर्व खजाना और जीवन को देखने की एक नई दृष्टि आपके भीतर विकसित होती है। यहाँ हमें समझना होगा कि संस्कृत की महान धरोहर की उपेक्षा कर, हम 4000 साल से अधिक पुराने समय के संचित ज्ञान को खो देते हैं।

जो लोग संस्कृत को केवल कर्मकांड की भाषा ही समझते हैं, वह भूल जाते हैं कि अर्थशास्त्र वैसी ही रचना है जैसे कि मैकियावेली के प्रिंस। भास्कराचार्य की रचना लीलावती गणित की ऊब से भरी अंग्रेजी किताबों का एक अच्छा विकल्प प्रस्तुत करती है। अपनी बेटी को गणित सिखाने के लिए लिखी इस रचना में भास्कराचार्य ने कहानी कहने के अंदाज में गणित की बुनियादी समस्याएँ हल करने की आसान विधियाँ बताईं।

संस्कृत साहित्य के प्रति उदासीनता के चलते हम भवभूति और बाण जैसे महान लेखकों की रचनाओं के आनंद से वंचित रह जाते हैं। उपनिषदों में यम-नचिकेता संवाद अथवा याज्ञवल्क्य-मैत्रेयी संवाद हमें दर्शन की गहराइयों में ले जाते हैं। यह केवल बौद्धिक खुराक के लिए जरूरी नहीं, अपितु जीवन के संबंध में आँखें खोल देने वाला अनुभव होगा जिससे हम अपने मनुष्य होने की गरिमा को और बेहतर ढंग से महसूस कर पाएँगे।
ऐसे समय में जब अमेरिका के हॉवर्ड जैसे माने हुए विश्वविद्यालय अपने पाठ्यक्रम में गीता और पंचतंत्र शामिल कर रहे हैं, भारतीय शिक्षा पद्धति में इनके प्रति उदासीनता झलकती है। जैसा कि एक पुरानी कहानी है कि राक्षस की जान तोते में रहती है, तोता खत्म तो राक्षस भी खत्म। वैसे ही पांडुलिपि संरक्षण के कार्यक्रमों को तभी सार्थकता मिलेगी, जब लोग संस्कृत भाषा के जादू को जान पाएँगे।

पांडुलिपि संरक्षण के लिए नई पीढ़ी को जागरूक करने की जिम्मेदारी भी सरकार की है। यह तभी हो पाएगा जब उन्हें संस्कृत साहित्य की समृद्धि का ज्ञान होगा। इसके लिए भी हमें बड़ी मनोवैज्ञानिक लड़ाई लड़नी होगी।

Thought provoking-SOCHNE WALI BAAT...

This is a crazy world!
Interesting article written by an Indian Economist


Japanese save a lot. They do not spend much. Also, Japan exports far more than it imports. Has an annual trade surplus of over 100 billions. Yet Japanese economy is considered weak, even collapsing.
Americans spend, save little. Also US imports more than it exports. Has an annual trade deficit of over $400 billion. Yet, the American economy is considered strong and trusted to get stronger.

But where from do Americans get money to spend? They borrow from Japan , China and even India .
Virtually others save for the US to spend. Global savings are mostly invested in US, in dollars.
India itself keeps its foreign currency assets of over $50 billions in US securities. China has sunk over $160 billion in US securities. Japan 's stakes in US securities is in trillions.
Result:
The US has taken over $5 trillion from the world. So, as the world saves for the US - Its The Americans who spend freely. Today, to keep the US consumption going, that is for the US economy to work, other countries have to remit $180 billion every quarter, which is $2 billion a day, to the US !

A Chinese economist asked a neat question. Who has invested more, US in China , or China in US? The US has invested in China less than half of what China has invested in US.
The same is the case with India . We have invested in US over $50 billion. But the US has invested less than $20 billion in India.
Why the world is after US?
The secret lies in the American spending, that they hardly save. In fact they use their credit cards to spend their future income. That the US spends is what makes it attractive to export to the US . So US imports
more than what it exports year after year.

The result:

The world is dependent on US consumption for its growth. By its deepening culture of consumption, the US has habituated the world to feed on US consumption. But as the US needs money to finance its consumption, the world provides the money.

It's like a shopkeeper providing the money to a customer so that the customer keeps buying from the shop. If the customer will not buy, the shop won't have business, unless the shopkeeper funds him. The US is
like the lucky customer. And the world is like the helpless shopkeeper financier.

Who is America 's biggest shopkeeper financier? Japan of course. Yet it's Japan which is regarded as weak. Modern economists complain that Japanese do not spend, so they do not grow. To force the Japanese to
spend, the Japanese government exerted itself, reduced the savings rates, even charged the savers. Even then the Japanese did not spend (habits don't change, even with taxes, do they?). Their traditional postal savings alone is over $1.2 trillions, about three times the Indian GDP. Thus, savings, far from being the
strength of Japan , has become its pain.

Hence, what is the lesson?

That is, a nation cannot grow unless the people spend, not save. Not just spend, but borrow and spend.

Dr. Jagdish Bhagwati, the famous Indian-born economist in the US , told  Manmohan Singh that Indians wastefully save. Ask them to spend, on imported cars and, seriously, even on cosmetics! This will put India on a growth curve. This is one of the reason for MNC's coming down to India , seeing the consumer spending.

'Saving is sin, and spending is virtue.'   :-)  :-) :-) :-):-) :-):-) :-)



But before you follow this Neo Economics, get some fools to save so that you can borrow from them and spend !!!

The Real Islam vs Hinduism: As understood by a moderate Hindu -Manoj Padhi

आज मैंने MANOJ PADHI का Article The Real ISAL vs Hinduism पढ़ा. मुझे यह article पसंद आया तो सोचा क्यूँ न अपने BLOG मैं Share करूँ .इस Article का आनंद लीजिये.
The Central belief:

There is only one God, Allah, and that the Prophet Muhammad was his final messenger.
The word Islam comes from aslama (to submit), and the one who submits--a Muslim--is a believer who achieves peace, or salaam. God, the creator, is invisible and omnipresent; to represent God in any form is a sin.

Prophet Muhammad:
The Prophet Muhammad was born in A.D. 570 and became a merchant in the Arabian town of Mecca. At the age of forty, he began to receive a series of revelations from God transmitted through the angel Gabriel. His monotheistic message, which disdained the idolatry that was popularly practiced at the Kaaba (now in the Great Mosque and venerated as a shrine of Muslim pilgrimage) in Mecca at that time, was ridiculed by the town's leaders. Muhammad and his followers were forced to emigrate in 622 to the nearby town of Yathrib, later known as Medina or "the city." This move, the hijra, marks the beginning of the Islamic era. In the ten years before his death in 632, the Prophet continued preaching and receiving revelations, ultimately consolidating both the temporal and the spiritual leadership of Arabia.
The Quran:
The Quran, the holy scripture of Islam, plays an important role in Muslim social organization and values. The Quran, which literally means "reciting," is recognized by believers as truly the word of God, and as such it is eternal, absolute, and irrevocable. The fact that Muhammad was the last of the prophets and that no further additions to "the word" are allowed is significant; it closes the door to new revelations.
The Five Pillars of Islam:
The five pillars of Islam consist of certain beliefs and acts to which a Muslim must adhere to affirm membership in the community.
Shahada (testimony), the affirmation of the faith, which succinctly states the central belief of Islam: "There is no god but God (Allah), and Muhammad is his Prophet." To become a Muslim, one needs only to recite this statement.

Salat, the obligation for a Muslim to pray at five set times during the day. Muslims value prayers recited communally, especially the midday prayers on Friday, the Muslim sabbath. Mosques have emerged as important social and political centers as a by-product of this unifying value.

ज़कात:
 the obligation to provide alms for the poor and disadvantaged .

सवम:
 the obligation to fast from sunrise to sunset during the holy month of Ramadan, in commemoration of the beginning of the Prophet's revelations from Allah.

Hajj:
The final pillar is the expectation that every adult Muslim physically and financially able to do so perform the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, at least once in his or her lifetime. The pilgrimage occurs during the last month of the Muslim lunar calendar, just over a month after the end of Ramadan.

The Jihad:
The word Jihad is from the Arabic root word JHD which basically means striving or struggle.

In translation, [the] Qur'an says, "Those who believe, who strive in the cause of God with their wealth and their persons, are the ones who are successful." So, the winner is not the human being who overcomes the wrong temptations but the winner is God in this inner Jihad. If we do not submit to the will of God then we are submitting to the will of the devil and the winner is the hunter who overtakes our souls at that moment of wrongdoing.

Jihad, the "striving." : Jihad is often misunderstood in the West and India, where people think of it as a fanatical holy war.
The inner Jihad, which is the Jihad and the most important part of Jihad, I must say that there are two forces within us operating all the time in opposite directions. One is inviting us to do good and the other inviting us to do evil. These opposing forces are trying to take over our hearts and our minds which have control over our actions to go in their direction. The inner Jihad is overcoming the forces of evil by the forces of good and the triumph of one over the other.
An analogy of inner Jihad is in Hinduism ,are controlling the objects for gratification of the five senses – Kama (desires), Krodh (anger), Lobh (greed), Moh (attachments) and Ahamkara (ego). So Hindus are also Inner Jihadis.

Thus if there is a tyrant ruler who is oppressing people and one stands up to that tyrant and says a word of truth against his rule it is also one form of Jihad
Jihad is also called "the Holy War". In fact, the word holy war came from the crusade when this call was made to the crusaders by then the Pope Urbana to unite them to fight against "infidels" who were occupying the birth place of Jesus (peace be upon him). Yet, it is true that one form of Jihad, that is the external form, can be described as taking up arms in defense of Islam and Muslims when they are attacked by external forces. But, this form of Jihad can only be declared by a head of the Islamic state who is a practicing Muslim or a consensus of Islamic Ulema or Scholars when they agree on a clear-cut threat on Islam or on Muslims by external forces. If a call for Jihad is made by a non-practicing Muslim ruler then [the] Muslim masses are not to heed such call.

Tose who fight external Jihad are mujahidin. The Afghan rebels waging an insurrection against the Soviet-backed government in the 1980s deftly used this term to identify themselves and hence infused their struggle with a moral dimension.

Siha and Sunni

Sunni:The larger of the two major subdivisions of Islam, followed by a majority of Pakistanis.
About 97 percent of all Pakistanis are Muslims. Official documentation states that Sunni Muslims constitute 77 percent of the population and rest around 20% Sihas. Iraq Siha percentage is morethan Sunnis.
There are two major sects, the Sunnis and the Shia, in Islam. They are differentiated by Sunni acceptance of the temporal authority of the Rashudin Caliphate (Abu Bakr, Omar, Usman, and Ali) after the death of the Prophet and the Shia acceptance solely of Ali, the Prophet's cousin and husband of his daughter, Fatima, and his descendants.
Over time, the Sunni sect divided into four major schools of jurisprudence; of these, the Hanafi school is predominant in Pakistan.

The Shia sect split over the matter of succession, resulting in two major groups: the majority Twelve Imam Shia believe that there are twelve rightful imams, Ali and his eleven direct descendants. A second Shia group, the numerically smaller Ismaili community, known also as Seveners, follows a line of imams that originally challenged the Seventh Imam and supported a younger brother, Ismail. The Ismaili line of leaders has been continuous down to the present day. The current leader, Sadr ad Din Agha Khan, who is active in international humanitarian efforts, is a direct descendant of Ali.

Islam in India, the start of Hindu-Muslim Conflict and hatreds:
The initial entry of Islam into India came in the first century after the death of the Prophet Muhammad
The Umayyad caliph in Damascus sent an expedition to Balochistan and Sindh in 711 led by Muhammad bin Qasim (for whom Karachi's second port is named). The expedition went as far north as Multan but was not able to retain that region and was not successful in expanding Islamic rule to other parts of India. Coastal trade and the presence of a Muslim colony in Sindh, however, permitted significant cultural exchanges and the introduction into the subcontinent of saintly teachers. Muslim influence grew with conversions.

Almost three centuries later, the Turks and the Afghans spearheaded the Islamic conquest in India through the traditional invasion routes of the northwest. Mahmud of Ghazni (979-1030) led a series of raids against Rajput kingdoms and rich Hindu temples and established a base in Punjab for future incursions. Mahmud's tactics originated the legend of idol-smashing Muslims bent on plunder and forced conversions, a reputation that persists in India to the present day.

During the last quarter of the twelfth century, Muhammad of Ghor invaded the Indo-Gangetic Plain, conquering in succession Ghazni, Multan, Sindh, Lahore, and Delhi. His successors established the first dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, the Mamluk Dynasty (mamluk means "slave") in 1211 (however, the Delhi Sultanate is traditionally held to have been founded in 1206). The territory under control of the Muslim rulers in Delhi expanded rapidly. By mid-century, Bengal and much of central India was under the Delhi Sultanate. Several Turko-Afghan dynasties ruled from Delhi: the Mamluk (1211-90), the Khalji (1290-1320), the Tughlaq (1320-1413), the Sayyid (1414-51), and the Lodhi (1451-1526). As Muslims extended their rule into southern India, only the Hindu kingdom of Vijayanagar remained immune, until it too fell in 1565. Although some kingdoms remained independent of Delhi in the Deccan and in Gujarat, Malwa (central India), and Bengal, almost all of the area in presentday Pakistan came under the rule of Delhi.
The sultans of Delhi enjoyed cordial, if superficial, relations with Muslim rulers in the Near East but owed them no allegiance. The sultans based their laws on the Quran and the sharia (Islamic law. Based on the Quran and the sunna (q.v.) with interpretations of Muslim jurisprudence) and permitted non-Muslim subjects to practice their religion only if they paid jizya (A tax imposed on non-Muslims in a Muslim state meant to compensate the state for the protection given to non-Muslims who are not permitted to serve in the military.) or head tax. The sultans ruled from urban centers--while military camps and trading posts provided the nuclei for towns that sprang up in the countryside. Perhaps the greatest contribution of the sultanate was its temporary success in insulating the subcontinent from the potential devastation of the Mongol invasion from Central Asia in the thirteenth century. The sultanate ushered in a period of Indian cultural renaissance resulting from the stimulation of Islam by Hinduism. The resulting "Indo-Muslim" fusion left lasting monuments in architecture, music, literature, and religion. The sultanate suffered from the sacking of Delhi in 1398 by Timur (Tamerlane) but revived briefly under the Lodhis before it was conquered by the Mughals.

What is the Hindu Religion?

"What is this religion which we call Sanatana, eternal? It is the Hindu religion only because the Hindu nation has kept it, because in this Peninsula it grew up in the seclusion of the sea and the Himalayas, because in this sacred and ancient land it was given as a charge to the Aryan race to preserve through the ages. But it is not circumscribed by the confines of a single country, it does not belong peculiarly and forever to a bounded part of the world. That which we call the Hindu religion is really the eternal Sanatana religion, because it is the universal religion, which embraces all others. If a religion is not universal, it cannot he eternal".

-SRI AUROBINDO

"HINDUISM is a relentless pursuit after truth and if today it has become moribund, inactive, irresponsible to growth it is because we are fatigued; and as soon as the fatigue is over, Hinduism will burst forth upon the World with a brilliance perhaps unknown before. Of course, therefore, Hinduism is the most tolerant of all religions. Its creed is all religions. Its creed is all embracing".
-MAHATMA GANDHI

Formation of RSS in September,1925

Founder Dr. Hedgewar founded Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh which he, after years of deliberate and patient preparation, founded at Nagpur on 27th September, Vijayadashami Day of 1925.

Dr. Hedgewar said often, "Even if the British leave, unless the Hindus are organised as a powerful nation, where is the guarantee that we shall be able to protect our freedom?" His words have proved to be prophetic. Conjointly with Independence, parts of Punjab, Bengal, Sindh and the frontier-areas were sundered from Bharat; and, four and a half decades after the nation's attaining freedom, Kashmir remains a thorn in the flesh.

Formation of VHP, August, 1964.

Shri Shiv Shankar Apte invited prominent Hindu leaders, Dharmacharyas, thinkers for the first Convention at Bombay for founding the V.H.P. in August, 1964
Text of his letter:

It is proposed to call a convention of representatives of all sects, faiths and religions, which have arisen, in this land. All those whether born here in this country or abroad who regard Bharat as the fountain source of their faiths, religions, culture and philosophy and worship her as the Motherland and the Holyland, are intended to be invited to this Vishva Hindu Parishad. Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs, Vaishnavas, Veer Shaivas -Lingayats and all denominations falling under the generic term Hindus are being approached with a request to come together in this first convention of its type.

On account of historic reasons chiefly among them being the aggressions and the consequent enslavement for over a millennium, social thinkers and leaders of our nation did not get time and opportunity to come together and reconcile the disintegrating forces and tendencies with the lamentable results from which we are suffering today. But free and politically united as we are now, it should be our ambition to mitigate the differences, recognise the unity behind the diversities and bring in a harmonious understanding, national integration and an order in the life of the whole society in accordance with the genius and spirit of our ancient and noble heritage.

The urgency is great today because of the sorrowful conditions to which our nation, which claims a unique and universal philosophy of life, catholicity and tolerance taught by all our faiths and religions and the affluence of culture and civilisation, has fallen in spite of wishful endeavors on the political plane. The reasons are patent and plain and need no discussion. To usher a new order satisfying the demands and exigencies of the modern scientific age are without of course sacrificing our eternal spirit and soul, our popular leaders and wise thinkers must come together, deliberate upon the present conditions of our society and prescribe ways and means to achieve the objective. This used to happen in this our land since Vedic days. The need is greater to day to discover the common principles and practices of our maltipotal society and on their basis to reinforce the abiding unity.

Hindu peoples in Hindusthan and abroad need an awakening into their essential unity in Philosophy, Religion and Culture. Establishing a Central Organisation to maintain contacts, to supply the pure spirit of the Hindu way of life and make it possible for all from all countries to draw inspiration from the fountain source of their spiritual heritage is the standing need of our times. Building up of Hindu solidarity and encouraging the Hindus in other parts of the world to make their impression on the environments in which they live, and to enrich the culture of the countries of their adoption should be the object and function of this Convention and the Centre which is proposed to be evolved out of it.

The first meeting of the convenors will be held on August 29 and 30, 1964 in Bombay. The meeting will determine the name, aims and objects, the venue, time, programmes and functions etc. of the main convention as well as form the managing committee and elect its Chairman.

We solicit your approval of the idea and respectfully invite you to attend the first meeting and give your consent to join the panel of convenors.

The undersigned proposes to call on you personally and explain the idea in details. May I, therefore, hope to get an indication as to when and where I should call on you. A line in reply will greatly oblige.

God never gives more pain than one can tolerate.’

True Story - Remember one rule ‘God never gives more pain than one can tolerate.’


It was 7:44 when I left my office building. My head was spinning and my legs were trembling - my dreams had shattered. Finally, my worst fear had come true. I was asked to put down my resignation. Recession had taken its toll on my company too. We were all hearing about possible retrenchment in the organization from the last 2 weeks. I received an E-mail today from my group head saying my services were no longer required. I was paid one month’s salary and asked to submit my resignation letter. I am a 28 years old, a newly married man with ongoing EMI's of Home loan and car loan. I am a construction professional and had been working with a giant real estate firm.

I started walking towards the bus station. “How in the world will I manage those life taking EMI's?” “My life is over” “How will I get a job in these times of recession?” “I hurried too much in purchasing my house and car” “How will I break this news to my newlywed wife?” I was talking to myself and walking towards the bus station. Loud horns, yelling from chai walas, shining adverts & hoardings - nothing in the world could draw my attention. Everything around me had changed ever since I received that e-mail. I can pay the EMI's and survive for the next 6-7 months with my savings if I live miserly. I will definitely find a job in the next 6 months. I tried to console myself. I felt good but it did not last very long and I again questioned myself - "What if I don’t get a job?” “How will Megha react when I tell her all this?”

My bus came and I quickly jumped into it and collapsed on the first seat I saw. The bus was pretty empty that day. A middle aged guy of around 40 came and sat next to me. I still don’t know why he chose to sit next to me when there were about 30 more empty seats in the bus. The man smiled at me but I was in no mood to smile at anyone. I turned my face and made it clear that I am upset and in no mood to talk. I noticed a bundle of 1000 Rs notes in his hands.

“The guy is a great actor. I never miss his movies.” The middle aged guy said, pointing towards a big Amitabh Bachhan cut out on the crossroads. “I just saw ‘paa’. “What a great movie. Have you seen it? You must see. Well, I am Arvind. And you?” I was really irritated by then but somehow controlled my temper and did not react at all. Apparently, he seemed to be in a jovial mood and was looking for someone to share his happiness. I was certainly not the right choice!

Where are you going Mr.?” Arvind asked me. He was not undeterred with my lame reactions and still wanted to chat with me. Finally, I lost my mind.

“Look Mister, I am in no mood to talk to you. I am not at all interested in you. I have lost my job today. I have a wife and burden of EMI's and I don’t have any idea how I will manage everything. I am in the most painful period of my life so please shut your mouth or go somewhere else. People like you never understand other people’s problems. Have you ever faced a scenario like me? Then I would surely see see this smile and joy on your face disappearing in an instant. Holding these 1000 Rs notes in your hand, do you think you are the king of this world? You rich people will never understand the problems of middle class people.” I shouted at Arvind. He was listening very carefully and still had that smile on his face. It angered me even more. I turned my back and closed my eyes.
“Everything will be fine” Arvind said and put his hand on my shoulder. Surprisingly I felt better.

“I am sorry for being rude but as you see I am in trouble and have difficult times ahead.” I regretted being so rude to Arvind. “No, it is completely all right. I understand. But you will definitely come out of it. Have faith, this difficult phase will soon pass. Does your wife earn?” Arvind started digging deeper.

“Yes, she is a school teacher but her salary is just 15,000. How would that help during these times of inflation?” Arvind laughed loudly. Though I was not too happy to hear him laugh at Megha’s salary, I had a moral duty to ask him about himself as he tolerated my nonsense. “Where are you going? To home from work, I guess.” “No, I am going to Motilal Hospital to visit my wife. She had developed a tumour in her chest but with God’s grace she is fine now. They will discharge her in a few weeks. “Oh Holy lord. That must be devastating for you.” I exclaimed.

“No, I am happy that she has survived this scare. I think God is too kind to me. My wife was diagnosed with tumour and I lost my job after 3 days. This way, I got a lot of time to look after my wife and my 11 year old daughter. My entire family lives in the village. They can’t be of any help. I was the only one to take care of my wife and daughter. I had to pay 1 Lac Rs in the hospital and I had no arrangements. But look at this money, God is kind to me. I suddenly met my old friend in the hospital and he offered to help. I have promised to return this money in a year. 1 year is a long time and I trust God. I know that some arrangements will be done by the time the day of repayment arrives. Hey, my stop has come. Don’t worry, everything will be fine.

Remember one rule ‘God never gives more pain than one can tolerate.’

And he disembarked from the bus. He taught me a lesson that would stay with me my entire life. Relieved and happy, I bought flowers for Megha on my way home and told her everything about my job loss. She supported me and we both promised each other that we will never lose our faith, we will never lose hope. We will always smile and trust God irrespective of the circumstances, like my friend Arvind.

Snake and Ladder had its origin in India

The game had its origin in India and was called Moksha Patam or Parama Padam or Mokshapat. It was used to teach Hinduism and Hindu values to children. The British renamed it as Snakes and Ladders.

Now, when and who created this game? Most people believe it was created by the 13th century poet saint Gyandev. There are certain references which take the game back to 2nd century BC.

The ladders represented virtues and snakes vices. In the original game square 12 was faith, 51 was Reliability, 57 was Generosity, 76 was Knowledge, and 78 was Asceticism. These were the squares were the ladder was found.







Square 41 was for Disobedience, 44 for Arrogance, 49 for Vulgarity, 52 for Theft, 58 for Lying, 62 for Drunkenness, 69 for Debt, 84 for Anger, 92 for Greed, 95 for Pride, 73 for Murder and 99 for Lust. These were the squares were the snake was found.
The Square 100 represented Nirvana or Moksha.





The British took the game to England in 1892 and named it Snakes and Ladders and changed it according to Victorian values.

वेदों का इतिहास जानें यही है सनातन धर्म के धर्मग्रंथ


 
अनिरुद्ध जोशी 'शतायु'


।।ॐ।। वेद 'विद' शब्द से बना है जिसका अर्थ होता है ज्ञान या जानना, ज्ञाता या जानने वाला; मानना नहीं और न ही मानने वाला। सिर्फ जानने वाला, जानकर जाना-परखा ज्ञान। अनुभूत सत्य। जाँचा-परखा मार्ग। इसी में संकलित है 'ब्रह्म वाक्य'।
वेद मानव सभ्यता के लगभग सबसे पुराने लिखित दस्तावेज हैं। वेदों की 28 हजार पांडुलिपियाँ भारत में पुणे के 'भंडारकर ओरिएंटल रिसर्च इंस्टीट्यूट' में रखी हुई हैं। इनमें से ऋग्वेद की 30 पांडुलिपियाँ बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण हैं जिन्हें यूनेस्को ने विरासत सूची में शामिल किया है। यूनेस्को ने ऋग्वेद की 1800 से 1500 ई.पू. की 30 पांडुलिपियों को सांस्कृतिक धरोहरों की सूची में शामिल किया है। उल्लेखनीय है कि यूनेस्को की 158 सूची में भारत की महत्वपूर्ण पांडुलिपियों की सूची 38 है।

वेद को 'श्रुति' भी कहा जाता है। 'श्रु' धातु से 'श्रुति' शब्द बना है। 'श्रु' यानी सुनना। कहते हैं कि इसके मन्त्रों को ईश्वर (ब्रह्म) ने प्राचीन तपस्वियों को अप्रत्यक्ष रूप से सुनाया था जब वे गहरी तपस्या में लीन थे।
सर्वप्रथम ईश्वर ने चार ऋषियों को इसका ज्ञान दिया:- अग्नि, वायु, अंगिरा और आदित्य।


वेद वैदिककाल की वाचिक परम्परा की अनुपम कृति हैं, जो पीढ़ी-दर-पीढ़ी पिछले छह-सात हजार ईस्वी पूर्व से चली आ रही है। विद्वानों ने संहिता, ब्राह्मण, आरण्यक और उपनिषद इन चारों के संयोग को समग्र वेद कहा है। ये चार भाग सम्मिलित रूप से श्रुति कहे जाते हैं। बाकी ग्रन्थ स्मृति के अंतर्गत आते हैं।

संहिता : मन्त्र भाग। वेद के मन्त्रों में सुंदरता भरी पड़ी है। वैदिक ऋषि जब स्वर के साथ वेद मंत्रों का पाठ करते हैं, तो चित्त प्रसन्न हो उठता है। जो भी सस्वर वेदपाठ सुनता है, मुग्ध हो उठता है।

ब्राह्मण : ब्राह्मण ग्रंथों में मुख्य रूप से यज्ञों की चर्चा है। वेदों के मंत्रों की व्याख्या है। यज्ञों के विधान और विज्ञान का विस्तार से वर्णन है। मुख्य ब्राह्मण 3 हैं : (1) ऐतरेय, ( 2) तैत्तिरीय और (3) शतपथ।

आरण्यक : वन को संस्कृत में कहते हैं 'अरण्य'। अरण्य में उत्पन्न हुए ग्रंथों का नाम पड़ गया 'आरण्यक'। मुख्य आरण्यक पाँच हैं : (1) ऐतरेय, (2) शांखायन, (3) बृहदारण्यक, (4) तैत्तिरीय और (5) तवलकार।

उपनिषद : उपनिषद को वेद का शीर्ष भाग कहा गया है और यही वेदों का अंतिम सर्वश्रेष्ठ भाग होने के कारण वेदांत कहलाए। इनमें ईश्वर, सृष्टि और आत्मा के संबंध में गहन दार्शनिक और वैज्ञानिक वर्णन मिलता है। उपनिषदों की संख्या 1180 मानी गई है, लेकिन वर्तमान में 108 उपनिषद ही उपलब्ध हैं। मुख्य उपनिषद हैं- ईश, केन, कठ, प्रश्न, मुंडक, मांडूक्य, तैत्तिरीय, ऐतरेय, छांदोग्य, बृहदारण्यक और श्वेताश्वर। असंख्य वेद-शाखाएँ, ब्राह्मण-ग्रन्थ, आरण्यक और उपनिषद विलुप्त हो चुके हैं। वर्तमान में ऋग्वेद के दस, कृष्ण यजुर्वेद के बत्तीस, सामवेद के सोलह, अथर्ववेद के इकतीस उपनिषद उपलब्ध माने गए हैं।



वैदिक काल :

प्रोफेसर विंटरनिट्ज मानते हैं कि वैदिक साहित्य का रचनाकाल 2000-2500 ईसा पूर्व हुआ था। दरअसल वेदों की रचना किसी एक काल में नहीं हुई। विद्वानों ने वेदों के रचनाकाल की शुरुआत 4500 ई.पू. से मानी है। अर्थात यह धीरे-धीरे रचे गए और अंतत: माना यह जाता है कि पहले वेद को तीन भागों में संकलित किया गया- ऋग्‍वेद, यजुर्वेद व सामवेद जि‍से वेदत्रयी कहा जाता था। मान्यता अनुसार वेद का वि‍भाजन राम के जन्‍म के पूर्व पुरुरवा ऋषि के समय में हुआ था। बाद में अथर्ववेद का संकलन ऋषि‍ अथर्वा द्वारा कि‍या गया।


दूसरी ओर कुछ लोगों का यह मानना है कि कृष्ण के समय द्वापरयुग की समाप्ति के बाद महर्षि वेद व्यास ने वेद को चार प्रभागों संपादित करके व्यवस्थित किया। इन चारों प्रभागों की शिक्षा चार शिष्यों पैल, वैशम्पायन, जैमिनी और सुमन्तु को दी। उस क्रम में ऋग्वेद- पैल को, यजुर्वेद- वैशम्पायन को, सामवेद- जैमिनि को तथा अथर्ववेद- सुमन्तु को सौंपा गया। इस मान से लिखित रूप में आज से 6508 वर्ष पूर्व पुराने हैं वेद। यह भी तथ्‍य नहीं नकारा जा सकता कि कृष्ण के आज से 5112 वर्ष पूर्व होने के तथ्‍य ढूँढ लिए गए हैं।


वेद के विभाग चार हैं: ऋग्वेद, यजुर्वेद, सामवेद और अथर्ववेद। ऋग-स्थिति, यजु-रूपांतरण, साम-गति‍शील और अथर्व-जड़। ऋक को धर्म, यजुः को मोक्ष, साम को काम, अथर्व को अर्थ भी कहा जाता है। इन्ही के आधार पर धर्मशास्त्र, अर्थशास्त्र, कामशास्त्र और मोक्षशास्त्र की रचना हुई।


ऋग्वेद : ऋक अर्थात् स्थिति और ज्ञान। इसमें 10 मंडल हैं और 1,028 ऋचाएँ। ऋग्वेद की ऋचाओं में देवताओं की प्रार्थना, स्तुतियाँ और देवलोक में उनकी स्थिति का वर्णन है। इसमें 5 शाखाएँ हैं - शाकल्प, वास्कल, अश्वलायन, शांखायन, मंडूकायन।


यजुर्वेद : यजुर्वेद का अर्थ : यत् + जु = यजु। यत् का अर्थ होता है गतिशील तथा जु का अर्थ होता है आकाश। इसके अलावा कर्म। श्रेष्ठतम कर्म की प्रेरणा। यजुर्वेद में 1975 मन्त्र और 40 अध्याय हैं। इस वेद में अधिकतर यज्ञ के मन्त्र हैं। यज्ञ के अलावा तत्वज्ञान का वर्णन है। यजुर्वेद की दो शाखाएँ हैं कृष्ण और शुक्ल।


सामवेद : साम अर्थात रूपांतरण और संगीत। सौम्यता और उपासना। इसमें 1875 (1824) मन्त्र हैं। ऋग्वेद की ही अधिकतर ऋचाएँ हैं। इस संहिता के सभी मन्त्र संगीतमय हैं, गेय हैं। इसमें मुख्य 3 शाखाएँ हैं, 75 ऋचाएँ हैं और विशेषकर संगीतशास्त्र का समावेश किया गया है।


अथर्ववेद : थर्व का अर्थ है कंपन और अथर्व का अर्थ अकंपन। ज्ञान से श्रेष्ठ कम करते हुए जो परमात्मा की उपासना में लीन रहता है वही अकंप बुद्धि को प्राप्त होकर मोक्ष धारण करता है। अथर्ववेद में 5987 मन्त्र और 20 कांड हैं। इसमें भी ऋग्वेद की बहुत-सी ऋचाएँ हैं। इसमें रहस्यमय विद्या का वर्णन है।


उक्त सभी में परमात्मा, प्रकृति और आत्मा का विषद वर्णन और स्तुति गान किया गया है। इसके अलावा वेदों में अपने काल के महापुरुषों की महिमा का गुणगान व उक्त काल की सामाजिक, राजनीतिक और भौगोलिक परिस्थिति का वर्णन भी मिलता है।



छह वेदांग : (वेदों के छह अंग)- (1) शिक्षा, (2) छन्द, (3) व्याकरण, (4) निरुक्त, (5) ज्योतिष और (6) कल्प।


छह उपांग : (1) प्रतिपदसूत्र, (2) अनुपद, (3) छन्दोभाषा (प्रातिशाख्य), (4) धर्मशास्त्र, (5) न्याय तथा (6) वैशेषिक। ये 6 उपांग ग्रन्थ उपलब्ध हैं। इसे ही षड्दर्शन कहते हैं, जो इस तरह है:- सांख्य, योग, न्याय, वैशेषिक, मीमांसा और वेदांत।

वेदों के उपवेद : ऋग्वेद का आयुर्वेद, यजुर्वेद का धनुर्वेद, सामवेद का गंधर्ववेद और अथर्ववेद का स्थापत्यवेद ये क्रमशः चारों वेदों के उपवेद बतलाए गए हैं।

आधुनिक विभाजन : आधुनिक विचारधारा के अनुसार चारों वेदों का विभाजन कुछ इस प्रकार किया गया- (1) याज्ञिक, (2) प्रायोगिक और (3) साहित्यिक।


वेदों का सार है उपनिषदें और उपनिषदों का सार 'गीता' को माना है। इस क्रम से वेद, उपनिषद और गीता ही धर्मग्रंथ हैं, दूसरा अन्य कोई नहीं। स्मृतियों में वेद वाक्यों को विस्तृत समझाया गया है। वाल्मिकी रामायण और महाभारत को इतिहास तथा पुराणों को पुरातन इतिहास का ग्रंथ माना है। विद्वानों ने वेद, उपनिषद और गीता के पाठ को ही उचित बताया है।

ऋषि और मुनियों को दृष्टा कहा गया है और वेदों को ईश्वर वाक्य। वेद ऋषियों के मन या विचार की उपज नहीं है। ऋषियों ने वह लिखा या कहा जैसा कि उन्होंने पूर्णजाग्रत अवस्था में देखा, सुना और परखा।

मनुस्मृति में श्लोक (II.6) के माध्यम से कहा गया है कि वेद ही सर्वोच्च और प्रथम प्राधिकृत है। वेद किसी भी प्रकार के ऊँच-नीच, जात-पात, महिला-पुरुष आदि के भेद को नहीं मानते। ऋग्वेद की ऋचाओं में लगभग 414 ऋषियों के नाम मिलते हैं जिनमें से लगभग 30 नाम महिला ऋषियों के हैं। जन्म के आधार पर जाति का विरोध ऋग्वेद के पुरुष-सुक्त (X.90.12), व श्रीमद्‍भगवत गीता के श्लोक (IV.13), (XVIII.41) में मिलता है।



श्लोक : श्रुतिस्मृतिपुराणानां विरोधो यत्र दृश्यते।

तत्र श्रौतं प्रमाणन्तु तयोद्वैधे स्मृति‌र्त्वरा॥

भावार्थ : अर्थात जहाँ कहीं भी वेदों और दूसरे ग्रंथों में विरोध दिखता हो, वहाँ वेद की बात की मान्य होगी।-वेद व्यास


प्रकाश से अधिक गतिशील तत्व अभी खोजा नहीं गया है और न ही मन की गति को मापा गया है। ऋषि-मुनियों ने मन से भी अधिक गतिमान किंतु अविचल का साक्षात्कार किया और उसे 'वेद वाक्य' या 'ब्रह्म वाक्य' बना दिया।।। ॐ ।।

Peeping into Tantric Sex

Peeping into Tantric Sex

Talk about Tantra and the first thing that come to the mind are sex, magic and witchcraft. Is this the real Tantra? Take a look at Google search. The first page on Google search on ‘Tantra’ is dominated by the word ‘sex.’ But Tantra has more to it than mere sex.

Since modern world associates Tantra with sex, I took a peep into Tantric sexual literature. Several books and articles are available on Tantra and most of them just arouse sexual curiosity. Some confuses the reader. But some western scholars have done detailed study on the subject.

Here I am sharing some of my findings:

It is hard to give a particular period to Tantrism. Most scholars believe it is pre-Vedic. Shiva and Shakti are main gods in Tantrism. They are a symbol and represent the male and female. Some Tantric texts are conversations between Shiva and Shakti.

It has close relation to the modern Advaita philosophy of Shankarachraya, the oneness of all being. So, Tantrism believes that the ‘first life energy’ is present in all of us and we can invoke it in our activities in daily life including sex.

Foreplay is of great importance in Tantric Sex. But Orgasm is given little importance. The period just before orgasm is of utmost importance. Tantric sex tries to maintain that particular effect for a long time – in fact for hours. This is often misunderstood as prolonged orgasm.

The ardhanarishwara, half-man or half-woman, concept is a part of Tantrism. Touch, kissing, breathe all are used to create the energy by the partners. The partners unknowingly join in the cosmic dance – don’t mistake it for real dance. They gaze at each other and keep the eyes open in foreplay and forget about their surroundings. Several different types of touch are practiced in Tantric sex.

There are several rituals, movements, touches and exercises in Tantric sex but it should not be practiced without the help of a knowledgeable person.

Tantrism should not be overlooked just because it talks about sex and contains elements of animism. Tantrism believes that truth can be only experienced through direct realization. One might have read and studied about sex but all this are secondary to the real sexual experience. Real sexual union is not forced; it is not a routine; but a true cosmic dance of creation.

Mr PringIe, he'd Iike to teII you
something about India...

When we greet one another,
we foId our hands in namastey...
because we beIieve...
that God resides in the heart
of every human being.

We come from a nation where we aIIow
a Iady of CathoIic origin...
to step aside for a Sikh
to be sworn in as Prime Minister...
to a MusIim President to govern
a nation of over 80 percent Hindus.

It may aIso interest you
to know that...
many of the origins to your words
come from Sanskrit.

For exampIe,
maatr becomes mother...
bhratr becomes brother,
giamiti becomes geometry
trikonniti becomes trigonometry.

We have 5600 newspapers...
magazines in over twenty-one
different Ianguages...with a combined readership of over 120 miIIion.

We have reached the moon and back,

but yet...
you people still feel that we've onIy
reached as far as the Indian rope trick

We are the third largest pool in the word of doctors, engineers and scientists.

Maybe your grandfather
didn't teII you that...
we have the third Iargest army
in the worId.
And even then, I foId my hands
in humiIity before you...

because we don't beIieve we are
above or beneath any individuaI.
And...

Namastey. :)

Attitude towards work – Moral Story

Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices today!


This is a story of an elderly carpenter who had been working for a contractor for many many years. He had built many beautiful houses but now as he was getting old, he wanted to retire and lead a leisurely life with his family. So, he goes to the contractor and tells him about his plan of retiring. The contractor feels sad at the prospect of losing a good worker but agrees to the plan because the carpenter had indeed become too fragile for the tough building work. But as a last request, he asks the old carpenter to construct just one last house.

The old man agrees and starts working but his heart was not in his work any more. He had lost the motivation towards work. So, he resorted to shoddy workmanship and constructed the house half-hearted. After the house was built, the contractor handed over the front door keys to the carpenter and said, This is your new house. My gift to you. The carpenter was shocked and upset. Had he known that he was building his own house, he would have done a better job! Now, he would have to live in the house, which is not worth staying.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. You work hard every day but are you giving your best? We put our least to the work we don’t like or do not have interest in. Later, we get shocked at the situation we have created for ourselves and try to figure out why we didn’t do it differently.

Enjoy your tasks and carry on your responsibilities with pleasure and not with pain. Life is a do-it-yourself project. Do your job enthusiastically and with devotion, a positive output and a pleasing life will certainly be on your way.
