"Power Of Yoga" -Yogi Ashwini

"If we look around — whether its our neighbourhood, our country or the state of the world today — all we can see is chaos. People are struggling over trivial issues. They are struggling to fulfil their ambitions and aspirations, at the workplace, in relationships or tackling larger issues of terrorism and safety concerns. Peace or shanti has become such a rare concept that people receive Nobel Peace Prize nominations for attempting to address such an issue in daily life. The concept of peace is thousands of years old and was given at the time, by Vedic rishis, when modern historians believed the world to be inhabited by barbarians or nomads. The first mantras to be chanted amongst daily prayers began with praying for shanti first for the universe, the planet earth, amongst the vegetation and the energies that surround us and then for oneself as the rishis very well understood that the world can be a beautiful place to live in only when there is peace and harmony between the inhabi...

How healthy are we ? Time for some reality check!

There is a famous saying "Health is Wealth”, and I still remember my father saying that to me almost everyday during my growing years. Over the few years I had forgotten about it completely and I know for a matter of fact that there are many travelling in the same boat. These days the only thing that comes to one's mind when we speak about health is being over/under weight...but is that it? I guess no because I have also witnessed people who go to gym daily , have good biceps and abs but if they are asked to sit cross legged with their back straights they are unable to do so. I am not judging anyone here; after all even I was no different until some time back. All I am trying to say is that isn't this kind of imbalance in the body an indication of one being unhealthy? Let us take some time off, close are eyes, stand straight and just lift one leg few inches above the ground and try to slowly rotate the ankle. how many rounds did we pass through? 1,2 or 3 ? This is a realit...

Pollution-Slow death of mankind!

Take a look around your surroundings...now try and recall how your surrounding was 5 years back...now try and go a little more back in time say about 10 years back...What is the major difference that you notice? Iam sure you'll concur with me that the most evident & visible difference in the environment is that it has become from good to bad and is going towards becoming from bad to worse. There is more of concrete and synthetic material around than the natural resources that we so much used to enjoy. Don't we keep cribbing as to how polluted the air now is that one can't breathe fresh air in the city, or how polluted the water is ?{I actually know a woman who washes her hair with Bisleri due to Delhi water being so polluted :-) I personally believe that all of this is nothing but reflection of our thoughts, as all actions and changes are just manifestations of thoughts.We want fleet of cars on our doors and ultimately increase to the city's pollution, we have incre...

Love- To be or not to be ??

We all have some defination of love that we have learnt either through our own experiences or through what we see and hear of. This subject is so intriguing, especially during our growing years, that we spend about half of our life figuring it out that what is LOVE ACTUALLY? Personally speaking I think in today's world one falls in love(& by falling i mean literall falling:-)to curb the fear of being lonely ,as being in love in a way gives one license of having his /her lover by their side at any given point of time, and if the availability is not there then what next ? Yes you guessed it right, A BAD BREAKUP, and the after efects is that one becomes a total wreck making life miserable not only for himself/herself but all the others who uselessly try to help.What I fail to understand is that if it is so much of an effort & pain to maintain a relationship then is there even a point of looking out for "THE ONE"? Is'nt life much more beautiful for the one's w...

Addiction ..how bad can it get?

The worst thing we can do to our selves is by getting addicted to things that cause us more trouble than joy...addiction to drugs,smoking,alcohol,shopping or simple day to day things may create big problems in life...how does one know that he/she is addicted ? It is when you are not controling the indulgence but the indulgence controls your actions..I am sure all the people who tried to kick the butt a thousand times and failed miserablly, or the people who made a new year resolution of giving up drinking but broke it the very next day, exactly know what i am talking about.Lets face it we as youth are facing these challenges let me share an incident to elucidate what I am saying,One morning about 11' o clock I went to Saket to eat something and I was shocked to see students of barely 15 years of age were smoking their lungs out on their regular bunks...and i instatntly thought why am I shocked to see that? am I not one like them as i am addicted to so many things that eat away my...
