Where has the ‘humanity’ in humans gone?

By

GOA: A stray dog is hit by a speeding car. The car driver doesn’t even care to stop and have a look at the innocent animal leave alone taking it to a near by vet hospital. The poor dog lying half dead with eyes popping out in the middle of the road with cars racing by choosing to ignore completely the pain in which the dog must be. Residents of the area on either side of the road ignored it too as though it was a regular sight for them. The various NGO’s that were contacted refused to pick up the dog. Finally, after 2 hours of frantically calling the NGO’s and vets in order to save an innocent life, a lady did agree to pick up the dog but when she did reach the spot, the dog had died a painful death.

Have we humans forgotten to value life?

What is going on?

    People dont stop to notice even the fellow beings, leave apart the dog............everyone is running to his/ her destination leaving virtues behind.

    even if people stop they won't help...coz we lack the zeal to take accountability...so busy wid own lives where is the time to help beings in need.....everyone likes to talk about qualities of compassion, helping each other etc..only in movie halls...in real life we r so full of ourself that we don't lend ears to r own conscience.......it's time that as youth of the nation we take this in r own stride..all we need to do is whenever we see some situation, call city's yellow pages and find out #'s fr the ngo's , vet or emergency SOS..we need to be more aware..

    plus most of the people have forgotten the basic humanity ingredients of *feeling connected* and *compassion* towards others...the people these days are kinda *enslaved* in their own small world comprising of just 2-3 persons that they cannot even think of looking outside of their world and helping others!!!

    If you come to think of it... the funny part is that we don't even seem to value our own lives... as yogiji says it is good karma of so many life times that we get a human birth and all we do with it is spend it in pursuit of pleasures of the basic 5 senses... only when one doesn't have something does one realize the worth of it...wht an irony!

    The last i heard... Dogs were supposed to be 'Man's best friend' !
    Or maybe those Goans changed it to 'Screw our friends, what do we care?! Let's just drink, eat and make merry!'

    even when ppl see smthing like this many time they jst neglect it saying "its jst a street dog". human have become so great businessman that they have started measuring life with money they might could have helped if it would had been an expensive breed. thats what they say is evolution they are evolving to better human. but actually they all have a evolving business person in them. who only invest his/her time in profitable(only currency) things.

difference between ‘meditation’ and dhyan?

By
"The difference between meditation and dhyan is that between shoonya (this is not to be confused with shoonyata, here it refers literally to zero) and poorna . Dhyan is state of complete awareness-inside and outside- it is a Poorna state, whereas meditation is a big zero. In meditation what a person does is he/she thinks of a certain thing and therefore it is basically no better than day dreaming, where as in dhyan you are aware of everything .Swami Satyananand Paramhans (Bihar School of Yog) described meditation as a ‘moodh ’ state or a lower state. Now a days, the subject of yog and tantra have been totally misrepresented. I was watching a programme on a ‘spiritual’ channel and there I saw a very elderly woman sharing her thoughts on ‘spirituality’. So I thought let me listen into what she has to say. After her discourse she made the viewers do dhyan and sat herself in dhyan as well. When it was over, she came out with some sort of jerk in her body. Anybody who knows the st...

'Vairagya'

By
We all know that we come in this world alone and go back alone. We will not be accompanied by anyone, no matter how close or dear we are to them, or they to us. Pause a minute and think: A majority of our problems stem from our near and dear ones. That is, relatives, immediate family, enemies and friends, not from someone unknown. You will also find that the rootcause of arguments, fights, emotional turmoil, congestions, broken relationships and business losses are also these very people. So it is safe to conclude that for the greater part of our lives we get troubled, not by absolute strangers but by people who are known to us. Your relationship with every individual is a result of one basic principle — as you sow so shall you get. It is a mere give and take. This give and take is a payback of our karma from our previous births and from this lifetime. You get associated with people because they need something from you and you need something from them too. Without any level of dependen...

THE YOG OF TIME TRAVEL

By
Time travel has remained one of the most intriguing subjects for physicists of all times. Scientists have spent their lives racking their brains on how to make it possible, yet as per modern sciences it remains a dream. On the other hand, the Vedic rishis had already decoded the mystery of time. Time, as per the Vedic rishis, is nothing but the distance between two thoughts. That is why in the state of dhyan, time does not exist as at that point thoughts cease to exist. The higher the state of evolution or stillness, slower is the passage of time for that being. It is said that in a blink of Lord Brahma’s eye a yuga passes by, and a blink of Lord Vishnu’s eye sees a mahayug pass by. Through yogic practices like Sanatan Kriya , one is able to still ones thoughts and hence become independent of time. The yogi can then travel in time — go forward or backward. Travelling in time, in fact, is widely used in yog for the purpose of evolution and for aiding the creation. Yogis visit past liv...
