It is everyone’s moral duty to fight against terrorism – the most heinous crime by man against his own kind.

Shri Rajiv Gandhi stood against the peril of terrorism and gave his life for it on this day; let us make sure that his death was not given in vain, let us at least fight terrorism in our hearts. (more…)

For who can turn back the winding of time, for sure not the one who wishes to experience again a happy moment, or the one who wants to say goodbye just one last time. The moving sand-grains of time perpetually cover the emboss mark of feet walking on the beech of eternity. (more…)

How many people do you know, who think about forgiving those who have hurt them, who have brought them pain? I have made myself happy not only by thinking, but by forgiving those who have hurt me, whom I have hurt and even myself. (more…)

Being a slave of our mind has become an accepted norm. Pause and take control, by becoming aware of things; by knowing the nature of its being. (more…)

Telecommunication: a boon and a bane. In this instant world, we may be able to instantly share our thoughts at the same time, and yet each soul could be lonesome.

We unfortunately are in constant search for relief from pain and misery, and one of the constant comforts we keep getting is from our beliefs about fate and destiny.  (more…)

One of the greatest acts of goodness to our country and fellow beings is by far that of raising a family with strong and sustainable values. (more…)

To call ourselves a developed country, we not only need to be developed fiscally, structurally, socially but also as a family unit.

I think becoming responsible citizens is not only a matter of whether our young generations study hard or get better jobs, it is also about whether they care about themselves and their families; for a family is the nucleus of civilization, it is our link to where we came from and where we are heading.

More than needed exercise can invariably cause much more damage than it has done to Aryan Vaid. Besides decreasing the testosterone levels and energy it increases cortisol levels which disturbs your sleep, inhibits fat metabolism and eats into the muscle mass. Excess exercising also causes injuries to muscles & joints, heart failure, weakened immune system, bone loss, irritability, depression, low self esteem, and disturbances in menstrual cycles. (more…)

Stop it… you have carried the unwanted burden of beliefs, doubts, justifications, and pseudo-explanations on your shoulders for too long. Just drop it!

When you refuse to continue to carry these life-taking burdens, you enter into pure existence without boundaries.

Unfortunately, like the deer we keep on searching for the smell of musk which but comes only from it, just to find out that all this while it was carried within us. We keep on looking for peace, bliss, contentment and joy, but are refusing to acknowledge that the power to make it happen lies in our hands and thoughts. This fact is so obvious that it is hard to see it when you operate on the principles of chaos and unrest, and it manifests only when you are silent and listen.

Experience each moment; live each moment and then let it pass. Keep emptying the closet of your past, your beliefs, your doubts and your justifications so that you create more room for being in the present.

Today we will do walking meditation. Find a empty room with no furniture in between. Now, as you stand barefeet, close your eyes and take ten deep breaths. Watch your in-breath and your out-breath. Now watch your thoughts – your intention to first lift the right leg, then watch your actually lifting the right leg. Now watch yourself firmly placing the right leg on the floor. Look back at your thoughts – your intention to lift the left leg, then watch your actually lifting the left leg. Watch yourself firmly placing the left leg on the floor. Become aware of both your feet on the floor. Look at your breath for a count of three. See what thoughts and feelings you have at that moment, and then start the process once again. Keep doing it for ten minutes or so, and open the gates of heaven; for the kingdom of heaven lies within.
