Dimension of Spirituality

Gratitude is the enjoyment of life in the true sense because it shows the positive feelings you have towards others and for the graciousness of all those people around you who have been responsible to make you what you are, make your conditions what they are and who lead you to the realization of the supreme truth of your life, your existence and your sense of fulfillment. It also reveals the trend of your life which, for all of us, is full of good things and bad but the moment you speak of gratitude, it denotes that there is a majority of good things that you may consider yourself lucky and grateful for. That things are not going contrary to what one would aspire for. There are bound to be ups and downs in anyone’s life but sometimes, when some plus points emerge from certain unpleasant, even terrifying situations, you may express gratitude for reasons of being in a better situation than the others in a relative sense. The feeling of gratitude is a va...

We humans are a social animal with an intelligent thinking brain, feelings which are both spiritual and physical and a will that lets us perform actions and take decisions according to our whims, fancies and requirements. But, in spite of all our claims of superiority over the animals, the elements, flora, fauna etc, there are certain areas in which we find ourselves helpless and inadequate. One particular facet of our mortal existence is that we are very possessive and attach great significance of our worldly possessions and relationships which we cherish thoroughly. As far as material possessions are concerned beautiful, costly and rare things attract us and we can own them but all the riches of this world cannot find you a soul mate, a true companion. And, come to think of it, it does not cost anything to find one; just what has been pre-ordained. Learned people call it your spiritual half and declare that it is something planned and decided prior...

Shiva, the destroyer, inspires with the sheer magnetism and dynamism of his personality; he strikes fear among the most powerful since he is “Mahadeva”, the greatest of gods and the “auspicious one”. But, the destruction was not of any innocent subjects, it was the destruction of all that is evil, whether physical or spiritual. He stayed in an absolute wilderness and sat for meditation in total isolation; this does not imply that he was bereft of compassion and humanly wants and desires. This is displayed by the fact that he was maintaining all his earthly duties towards his family and the community of gods. Anyone who dared to disturb him in his meditation would face his deadly anger. One of his main weapons was his third eye which, when opened, would reduce to ashes anyone or anything onto which the third eye was directed. In Hindu mythology he is symbolized as Destroyer also known as “ MAHESH” . The power of Shiva is beyond words and imagination. T...

Kundalini has been known to the scholars in the subcontinent since ages though its propagation to the western shores occurred in the recent past through the sages and practitioners who travelled to the western countries as part of their mission to spread its knowledge and finer points. It is supposed to be present in all human beings but has to be aroused out of its dormant state through vigorous exercises which include brisk and forceful breathing exercises done under the tutelage. It is believed to be resident in a small gland at the base of the spinal cord and is in a coiled state; almost like a snake. It is stated that when the Kundalini is being aroused it starts uncoiling and rising. The reason for it remaining an enigma and a mysterious form of energy is that: Though it finds frequent mentions in the Buddhist and Hindu texts aimed at the practice of Yoga and Tantra, it cannot be really grasped or deeply understood even by some learned teachers of Yoga,...
