The Authentic Indian Superstitions!!!

As little kids, we must have heard so many  superstitions from our grandmothers. The millenials find these superstitions baseless and ridiculous without any logic. One common superstition we must have been told about is the eye twitches. If Nani (grandma) says your left eye is twitching, that means something bad is about to happen whereas if your right eye twitches that means something good is about to happen. However, have we ever pondered about a plausible explanation behind this?

Scientifically, behind the eye there is an optic nerve which carries messages to the brain for the interpretation of the image. According to psychology, the left side of the brain represents logic, pragmatism, on the other hand the right side of the brain represents creativity, emotions, trust and faith. So when your left eye twitches, the optic nerve linked to the left side of the brain foretells something unemotional is about to happen- often bad. 
When right eye twitches, the optic nerve linked to the right side of the brain foretells something beautifully emotional is about to happen.

In antique religions like Hinduism and the Greeks, there are various bizzare superstitions that may perplex us however they all have some reasonable explanation. They are based on the nature of the environment and some biological science as well. 
 
So next time your Grandmother tells you about this superstition, don't find it so absurd or preposterous. Instead, feel intrigued!!!

  The Vastu Colour Wheel... All this long, we have been talking about our universe and Hinduism. In terms of Hinduism, Vedic Astrology and Vastu play a very major role according to every human. But what are they? Vedic refers to the Hindu science and astrology is the study of one's life with the universe, mathematics and science (religious science). In the universe, we have a unique solar system with various planets and the celestial objects such as the Sun and Moon. Each of these planets and celestial objects have a different impact on ever person's life. This involves science in how each planet retrogrades, transits and disappears. Mathematics helps in calculating the position of each planet by degree of each person. Without going any further deep into this, Vedic Astrology might seem to be boring and mundane. However, its quite fascinating as if an insight to one's soul, checking his karmas of this life. People who indulge in astrology are called astrologists. In India,

Law of Attraction I want it. I am feel it. I'm gonna get it. When you want something badly, you wish for it like anything. You must have heard about the cosmos of this Universe and everything you see is energy as we have discussed before. Basically, whatever you wish for and think about eventually comes true. First, its important understanding the two types of energy residing in the corners of this Universe- black and white. Nowadays, I am reading one of the best novels of Amish- Shiva Trilogy: Immortals of Meluha. Out of it I would like to extract an anecdote which is highly meaningful. The conversation is between and Pandit (Priest) and Shiva (The God): " The Pandit asked Shiva what is the color of the leaf. He replied its green. Then the pandit placed a very cogent argument in front of him whether its colour was actually green but every colour but green. This stunned Shiva. The Pandit said, "There are many realities. There are many versions of what may appear obvious.

30/03/2020 It's the first time I'm writing a blog. My exams just finished and I was wandering here and there, feeling really bored. But, I suddenly remembered of starting my own blog, reminiscing a movie I saw with my mother- Julie & Julia, where the protagonist writes a blog everyday to keep herself busy. It's a lovely movie, by the way. I mean, Meryl Streep always has a commendable performance in every movie. Now, let's get back to the topic. This blog covers all the sacred truths of the universe- especially the studies of Hinduism. Do you know that Hinduism happens to be the oldest religion in the entire world and has the most traditional civilization in the world?   Since this is my first post, I am just going to describe how I embarked on the journey of spirituality.  I am 14 year old who started taking interest in spirituality when I was once again sitting bored and then I saw my mom reading a novel-"Sita: The Warrior Of Mithila". At first I
