Who made me think ?

Funny feeling it is when all of a sudden we would lose ourselves in the world of thoughts and find ourselves wasting precious joules of energy getting angry, jealous, happy, sad, sometimes naughty in our dream world. Ever wondered why we think, where we get these thoughts? Do all people get the same thoughts? Well, I decided to do some research and google my thoughts.  Remember a time when researching meant bugging your grand mum with not so comfortable questions. But technology has advanced and everything we need is just a click away. Cool isn’t it? Even though our original google is just a call away.  Anyway I was told that “ I was feeling lucky today” so I continued. Some links that I browsed said that these were because some neurons were fired while others directed me to some fancy brain maps ! All seemed to explain what happens when I think, but none why I think what I think. Not satisfied with the answers modern science was throwing at me, I decided to expand

Its not Mumbo-jumbo!

The Revered Cow Yogi Ashwini Our coming generations have a strong western bias and firmly believe that the vedic culture is mumbo-jumbo, and that there is no science behind the worship and rituals. I would like to present certain facts about the efficacy and the global acceptability of the vedic principles to the younger generation. Recently, I came across the diary of Sir Cunningham at the national archives. He had sketched out a calf and a cow on the third page of the diary and discussed the scientific and logical benefits of preserving this animal. One can find references to the cow across cultures. The Egyptians worshipped her as Hathor, the goddess of fertility, while those from this side of the Indus called her the Kamdhenu and Nandi. The Greeks knew her as Lo and the Nordics as Audhumbla, the primeval cow who licked ice and brought mankind into existence. So, what is it about the cow that caused it to be revered across cultures and also caught the attention of the

Rasayans For Good Health

One thought that constantly plagues everybody’s mind is to lose weight. Every one wants that lean body, which has wrongly become synonymous with beauty and attraction. In the want to lose weight, people resort to extreme measures. Some of them start excluding things from their diet randomly without being aware of the serious complications and deficiencies that such an action entails and others turn to dieticians and fad diet programmes. A dietician looks at only physical aspect of the body and completely ignores the energy aspect. Unaware of the complex mechanism of the body and various dhatus that comprise it, he/she usually categorises the food into fats, proteins and carbohydrates and formulates a chart where the fat component is excluded from the diet. Majority of such diet control regimes have serious side effects that often translate into chronic ailments. The time-tested science of ayurveda details the seven dhatus that comprise our body and the importance of maintaining a bala

Logic of Life

At some point in life, most of us would have asked a question- "Is everything in life just a random play of events or is there a logic, a reason behind the things which are happening?" and most, if not all, would have dismissed it as a 'philosophical' debate and went on with more'practical' things in life. But i feel the only difference which makes something a philosophy and something 'practical' is its applicability. A philosophy which is applicable and gives tangible results becomes practical.Anyways, coming to the question is there really something which controls the events of ones life? Well the answer is Yes!  Everything is not that random just as it seems, After all it cant just be a random call as to why someone is born on the street not even knowing if s/he will get 2 meals a day where as another in an affluent family with all the luxuries right from childhood; why some are born with genetic diseases while others have near perfect health
