Sins, Rage and Forgiveness...   In one of the posts, we discussed about the Universal Karma Theory and how one's sins can adversely impact the soul's next life. If blessings are considered powerful, so are curses. One blessing can bring wonders while curse can bring doom. For example, in the spiritual texts of Bhagvad Gita, Sri Krishna (a jovial reincarnation of Lord Vishnu) had died in a forest due to the arrow aimed by a hunter named Jara. Although this incident was inadvertent and undeliberate, the God had died while He survived the perilous war of Mahabharta. This all happened due to a curse given by a woman named Gandhari (Duryodhana's mother in The Great Indian War).  We have previously shared about the prowess of a blessing. But, what about curses? If you can be right in front of one person's eyes, then you could be wrong in front of others'. That is why we don't have people as in right and wrong but as bad and nice persons. However, some people have been

Euphoria, Anger and Disappointment... There are so many moments in life when we are immensely ecstatic and other moments that include intense anger. When we are about to get the result of something and expect it to be fruitful, we suddenly start being extra nice and sweet with the Supreme (God). I mean that its not that bad that we suddenly and immediately start praying because its just a human tendency to do so. And when that very same result is bad, we turn so bitter with God. Some people become agnostic or atheists for a similar logic. I guess this is how our bond is with God and in any relationship we have with another human being. But, why is it so that we turn our backs to God and at the time of need, we fall at His feet and start hailing Him? So, today we will be candidly discussing about this question. Without being an actual hypocrite, I practice the exact thing. Whenever my exam score is about to be released, I begin chanting all the hymns I know, pleading for Him to have my

  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,

The Spiritual Influence of Water... From the very beginning we have been taught that after oxygen, water has been always one of the most crucial elements of this world. It does make 75% of our body including it is an indispensable component of every realm in this world. But as we have been discussing about the various the sacred truth of the universe, the natural elements that purify our atmosphere and our chakras, this all leaves me pondering about water's spiritual influence.  We know the health benefits of water such as cleansing our body and providing all the vital minerals including keeping our mind on the run. Let's look into water's soul benefits. Its usually said that it communicates the sacred value of life which is relevant to the theme of our blog. It is a completely different dimension that involves soul purification, self-healing, profound meaning of suffering and redemption in human life. In the histories of all religions of the world, water has been the cente
Eccentric Beliefs... Have you guys ever wondered the reason behind covering your head in energy centers ( temples, mosques, churches)? Elders have always instilled the habit of taking off our shoes and covering our heads in these energy centers. Do you believe that these are just made-up beliefs to create discipline in inside of us? If you do so, then you are incorrect. Today, we will be discussing the roots of such beliefs of people when they enter the energy centers. The first one is always a covering your head with a piece of cloth. Before sharing the reason behind it with you all, I will be writing a cute and childhood personal experience from it. Hailing from a Punjabi family, my mother always reminded me to cover my head with a dupatta (scarf) before stepping into the gudwara. I always asked my mother why and what difference would it make if I go with my head bare while paying obeisance to Guruji (Sikh God). She would always say that since we are roaming in energy centers, the cr

'Chai'-India's Elixir  You get up in the wee hours, get ready and grab your coffee on your way to work. This all changes when you enter the world of India which heralds a time of outright diversity and inclusivity.  Waking up at dawn in India means only one thing- sipping onto chai (tea). The country has had quite a history with chai as it is emblematic of wisdom. At first, with royalty it carried down with the other generations, gradually. For all the Indian artists, poets, inventors and workers, masala chai has always been an enduring source of inspiration for them. Eventually, chai became an indispensable part of the Indian heritage.  There are inordinate amount of memories embedded with chai- drinking it with your beloved partner, family member or yourself while admiring the landscape of dawn or dusk. Undoubtedly, it leaves an indelible impression on one's mind.  Similarly, it was one such morning, raining cats and dogs, when my mother ( a habitual tea drinker) and
