Sri Sri on Dealing with Botherations & Angerness

Dealing With Botherations Three types of thoughts or blames bother you. First, you have so much talent, but you are unable to use it or bring it out, you feel that you are not being used; that causes frustration in you. Second, you think y ou know, but nobody understands you. This is another point of contention where you feel miserable. Third, you feel you are lost, you should have done better, or differently; then you blame the past, oneself and everybody else around. These three types of blames or thoughts bother you; they can pull your energy down. There could be a million reasons for you to feel down on the planet. Anything can pull you down, because things are not happening the way you want them to happen. Using knowledge, just sail over it all, forget about it, it doesn’t matter, so what! So many people use their talents, they all died, and they all have been forgotten! Who sits and watches Michelangelo’s paintings every day? Once you watch it, then it is forgotten. ...

Sri Sri On ATTITUDE

There are four kinds of attitude that are good to have in life: 1)Friendliness: Be friendly with people who are happy. If you are not friendly with happy people, you will be jealous. 2)Compassion: Do not be friendly with people who are miserable, instead, have compassion for them. If you are friendly with unhappy people you will become unhappy. So, what should be the attitude with people who are  miserable? Compassion, not pity. 3)Happiness: For people who are doing good work or who are successful in the world, you should feel happy as though you are doing it. 4)Indifference: For people who are doing horrible things in the society, destroying themselves, we usually get angry at them. When you are angry, your mind suffers a huge loss. You lose so much energy, you lose your mood, and your enthusiasm. When energy and enthusiasm goes away from you, you become angry and are no better than the other person. You do not know what you are doing. So, what should you do in such a si...

Sri Sri advise for STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS on Tension and Breakup

प्रश्न: मैने अपनी पिछली नौकरी छोड़ दी है क्योंकि वहाँ बहुत ईर्ष्या और चुगलखोरी होती थी। इतने नाकारात्मक लोगों के साथ कैसे काम किया जाए? श्री श्री रवि शंकर: युक्ति के साथ। नाकारात्मक लोग आपके बहुत सारे कौशल को निखार देते हैं। आपको उन् हें धन्यवाद देना चाहिए। वे आपको सिखाते हैं कि आपको उनसे कैसा व्यवहार करना चाहिए और हर परिस्थिति का कैसे सामना करते हुए आगे कैसे बढ़ना हैं । वे आपके सभी बटन दबा देते हैं और आपको उनसे मुक्त कर देते हैं। Q: How to choose a career even though my parents don’t allow? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar : You have already chosen! You chose a career and your parents don’t like it! And now you are asking me, 'How to choose it?' You should be asking me, ‘How to drop a career which I have chosen, which my parents don’t like!’What is your confusion? Sometimes, you are confused between your hobby and your profession. You like your hobby, such as music or painting. Don’t make your hobby your career. Your parents must be wondering why you are choosing a hobby, which i...

Why is India the favourite destination for enlightened masters? Is there some secret in the land?

Why is India the favourite destination for enlightened masters? Is there some secret in the land? The word California comes from a Rishi called Kapila Rishi .  He was the previous incarnation of Lord Krishna. He was born in California , and lived there for a long time. The place was called Kapilaranya . It is said in the scriptures that Kapilaranya is a 12 hours difference from India. Nova Scotia (in Canada) is also a Sanskrit name. Navas kosha , means it is at 9 hours difference from India. One koshais a one hour distance. Navas Kosha means 9 hours difference, and it is exactly 9 hours. Ram means light. The root of words like rays and radiance comes from ram. Ra means radiance. Ma m eans me, mine, myself. Ram means the light within me, the light in my heart. Ram, of course, is the name of Lord Rama, who lived on this planet, in 7560 BC… long ago. About 9,000 years ago.  Lord Rama is connected with all the Asian continents. The entire belt of Indonesia, Malaysia an...

Sri Sri On MANTRA ;OM NAMAH SHIVAY ; and Shares Story

Om Namah Shivay has been called the maha mantra.  Na (earth element),  Mah (water element),  Shi (fire element), and  va (air element) – ya (sky element ) - the life energy  in all elements is represented by this mantra.  It is so powerful! It builds the energy in your system and clears the environment.  When someone abuses you verbally, how do you feel? If someone says that you are a donkey, how do you feel? What does it do to you? What does it create? Anger! It shakes you. It creates some negative vibrations; you feel angry. You feel some  sensations in the stomach, the head. If a bad word can create so much physiological reactions in you, do you think a very sweet name, a chanting, which includes a lot of energy of the cosmos, does not do anything to your body? It is unscientific and stupid to think that a mantra does not do anything to your body. That is not the case! It does. Mantras bring out all the positive energy inside you...

Image
There are many mosques all over India which are known to local tradition and the Archaeological Survey of India as built on the site of and, quite frequently, from the materials of, demolished Hindu temples. Most of them carry inscriptions invoking Allah and the Prophet, quoting the Quran and giving details of when, how and by whom they were constructed. The inscriptions have been deciphered and connected to their historical context by learned Muslim epigraphists. They have been published by the, Archaeological Survey of India in its Epigraphia Indica-Arabic and Persian Supplement, an annual which appeared first in 1907-08 as Epigraphia Indo-Moslemica.

Sri Sri on INDIAN COW

"There are two types of milk protein – A1 Beta Casein and A2 Beta Casein. The milk from  Jersey cows (not native to India) contains A1 Beta Casein while the milk from the cows  native to India contains A2 Beta Casein. The type A1 causes Autism, Schizophrenia,  Stomach Ulcer, Ulceritic Colitis, Crohn’s disease, etc. They h ave done about a hundred kinds  of research on this. It is mentioned that people are falling sick after drinking milk that  contains the A1 type milk protein. It is suggested to use milk that contains the A2 type of  milk protein. This type can be found in goat’s milk, sheep milk, human milk and native  cow’s milk. It is mentioned that infants have to be given mother’s milk only. We need to use  milk from cows native to India, even if they give a lesser quantity of milk. However, the  imported cows, though they give more milk, it is not beneficial to our health." - SRI SRI

The Kama Sutra: Beyond the SEX

Image
Many people  have heard about the  Kama sutra , but generally the ideas that circulate are rather distorted, vague and confused by ignorance and prejudice. Such prejudice is mostly due to the cultural superimposition of layers of prude bigotry and self-righteous moralism brought by iconoclastic Islamic dominators frist and by Victorian British Christians later. Enforced  by the abrahamic invaders, the wholesale condemnation of the intrinsic beauty and joy of the natural form and activities of the body, effectively destroyed the Vedic expressions of beauty and joy, or covered them with the thick plaster of shame. And that’s not simply a manner of speaking: the plaster physically obliterated many artistic masterpieces of sculpture, as for example those that used to decorate the temple of Jagannatha at Puri. Millions of Deities and decorative images were defaced, broken or destroyed, and many thousands of temples completely razed to the ground. Especially  in ...
