Many religious people belief is that the Shiva ‘Linga’ stands for the phallus,the symbol of the generative power in nature. “This is not merely a major mistake but also a serious blunder”, Swami Sivananda expressed. In Sanskrit literature, the term ‘Lingam’ transliterated as ‘Linga’ means a symbol or mark. Hence, the Shiva Linga is taken as a symbol of Lord Shiva and a mark that refers to the almighty which is unformed.

Life is an agricultural land:- What we sow, grows and brings the particular fruits in front of us over time!

Personal attitude and approach towards life and values decide our destiny.  For Hindus, good karma is usually produced by correctly performing the duties of one's caste, or social class. If a person lives admirably and fulfills the responsibilities of the caste, the soul can be reborn into a higher caste.

“Arjuna, those who are full of worldly desires and devoted to the letter of the Vedas, who look upon heaven, as a supreme goal and argue that there is nothing beyond heaven, are unwise. They utter flowery speech recommending many rituals of various kinds for the attainment of pleasure and with rebirth as their fruit.

Phenomenal advancement in science and technology has conferred   numerous boons on human race in the areas of information, communication, infrastructure, travel, entertainment, education, health care, energy, space exploration and various ways of providing man with innumerable comforts with newer inventions. But human values all along have been declining in society where fear, insecurity, unhappiness, exploitation and several evil propensities in almost all walks of life haunt.

Lord Krushna was born on the eighth day (ashtami) of the Hindu lunar month of Shravan. Lord Krushna was an absolute incarnation (purnavtar). Actually an absolute incarnation is not an incarnation but The Lord Himself; hence it possesses all the characteristics of The Lord.

The birth of Lord Krushna is celebrated at midnight on Sri Krushna Jayanti (Krishnashtami). This year it falls on 10 aug 2012. The divine principle (tattva) of Lord Krushna is most active on this day of the year.

Raksha Bandhan is a term from the Hindi language which means a relationship or an association based on protection. This is a festival which

has a long standing Indian heritage. More commonly known as Rakhi, this Indian festival signifies the sacred bond of love between a brother

and sister. this is An Endearing Bonding Between Two Siblings

It is a day when brothers and sisters reaffirm their relation.

All human beings are creature of GOD and are part of single universe. We believe good luck by our own efforts and bad luck because of others. We pray to God in sorrow and forget when we succeed. There is thin life-line, drawn by God, in between Life and death, ups and down, which we never foresee, but it is controlled by unknown power. Sometimes we lose by a whisker. Sometimes we achieve unexpectedly beyond our own expectation.

Most of the sites on internet which use for social net-working start with www. Here it stands for world wide webs. So www should ideally stand for worship, wise and wisdom, and on the other hand these three W are also the symbols of wealth, women and wine and these are most dangerous in man’s life if he is crazy of only any one of the three. A person with lust remains in burn-out syndrome. Now days, everything is about material things.

It was one of those hallowed days when the great benefactor was moving restlessly in quest of the mystery behind the endless sufferings awaiting this fugitive life. Undaunted, he was moving, engrossed in his thoughts and unconscious of the world outside his radiant face was overcast with an anxiety that reflected the tension raging in his mind. Feverishly he was striving at the problem of Relativity and Absolute.

'Satyamev Jayate' scripted on the national emblem ,is something which is incorrect.

It is not clear that from which book it has been taken.

This phrase was used by Sangh Govt alongwith the national emblem as a symbol and stamp.

But in 'Ratnakar Sanskrit this phrase  is found in the book, and in the place of 'jayate'  it is 'jayati'.

It appears  grammatical error in this phrase,it should be Jayati instead of Jayate.

It is our most common, daily mental activity. Yet it is the greatest misuse of our mental energy and a complete waste of time. It's called worry. It is good to worry isn’t it?  Worry shows you care doesn’t it?  It means you are cleverly anticipating the future, right?  No. Worry is only anxiety based on fiction.

It is a series of negative thoughts that dis-empower the natural creativity of your consciousness.

PP Wangchuk, Hindustan Times

No sane person will dispute that success follows virtues? One who is a depository of virtues is a sure shot for success in life.  Among the qualities of virtues, the foremost one is that it awakens one’s conscience against any kind of bad or immoral act.

We have it from Roman philosopher Cicero, "The greatest theatre for virtue is conscience." One can say that conscience enables one to cultivate all the virtues that a man can be blessed with.

Sadhguru, Hindustan Times

Generally, in India, most yogis and mystics choose mountain peaks because they are not frequented by people, they are safe places. They choose rocks to deposit their knowledge in an energy form.

Mount Kailash is the greatest mystical library. Right from Shiva, the first yogi — in the yogic culture, we don't see Shiva as God; we see him as the Adiyogi, the first yogi, and the Adi Guru, the first Guru.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Meditation is the AC for the mind to be comfortable. We want comfort but we don’t know how to be absolutely comfortable. Let us explore five methods for a successful meditation.

The first is through yoga and physical exercise. When our body does certain postures, with a certain rhythm, the mind slips into meditation. If you are very active or too well rested, you cannot meditate.

Ajit Bishnoi, Hindustan Times

A person had spiritual leaning from his very childhood. Inevitably, he resisted all attempts by his parents to get him married. He didn't want to burden himself with extra responsibility. After he retired from service, he shifted to a small village in the upper reaches of the Himalayas.

He engaged himself in reading scriptures and translating them. With the passage of time, people of the village became curious about him; they began to visit him.

Rajyogi Brahmakumar Nikunj , Hindustan Times

Mediation is the most common word used today by people across the world.

Every home has atleast one person who is into Meditation.Lets understand what is this all about.To put it in simple words, Meditation is a spiritual love-link of the soul with the Supreme Soul. It helps us to know the spiritual truths of life and transform us into a value-based person so that we are not influenced by worldly matters.

Rameshinder Singh Sandhu, PTS

I love travelling and believe that it is very useful and makes life interesting. When I was in Europe for my studies, I utilised every holiday break for travel fully. I visited several famous destinations which offered different and new experiences. I met many nice people and befriended some of them. In short, I fell in love with the Europeans.

Now I am in India for work experience,  but I hardly meet any interesting person when I travel around.

Bhartendu Sood, Hindustan Times

If a man is able to remain hopeful even in the worst situation, he has to thank the dynamic character of time. There is a time in everyone's life when things move favorably for him. 

Things move so nicely and so fast that we get the feeling that somebody is working for us. But then a phase comes when even our best efforts, and most meticulously planned moves remain nonproductive. We confront one failure after  another. Even our corrective actions backfire.

Sadhguru, Hindustan Times

It is important that the spiritual dimension of life is brought into everybody's lives. Why some people develop an allergy to spirituality is because they are told that spirituality means leaving everything and going to the mountains. It is not true. It is better to learn how to be spiritual in your office, in your home, on the streets, or wherever you are.

Rajyogi Brahmakumar Nikunj ji, Hindustan Times

The Virtue Of 'Acceptance' is one of the extremely needed divine virtue that can bring not only simplicity in our life but it is also the foundation on which divine powers like power to tolerate, to accommodate, to face can be built.

Usually, most of the people think that to accept or to confess their mistakes will lead to degrade their image. But this is a big misconception.

Arvind Alok , Hindustan Times

Lord Buddha's quest for excellence lies in the development of human values irrespective of caste, creed and religion. He asked his followers not to follow him out of mere admiration and submission. He emphasised on the practicability of his teachings and gave his followers full liberty for investigation before practising them for their emancipation.

Vineet Mani, Hindustan Times

I was half asleep and yet eagerly waiting for my grandfather to begin telling a story. I do not remember that I ever missed an opportunity listening to his stories. His interesting way of narrating real-life experiences has helped me learn a great deal. One day, someone knocked at the door. I could hear murmurs and music outside. After a few moments, Kaka, our caretaker, entered the room and whispered in grandfather's ear.

Sami Rafiq, Hindustan Times

Mountains have always been a source of mystery and wonder for me. During my childhood, my visits to the mountains endeared me to the climate and the peace of the hills. 

I often questioned myself as to why mountains are associated with spirituality. A recent visit to the Vaishno Devi shrine gave me the answer.

We had gone to the mountains burdened with worries and concerns.

PP Wangchuk, Hindustan Times

When Emerson said that one must hitch one’s wagon to a star, he had a telling point of inspiration. No man in history could achieve greatness without stubborn hope soaring high into the sky.

In a different wavelength, Samuel Johnson said hope itself is a “species of happiness; and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords.”

And we know that hope not only sustains life, it keeps one happy and positive under all kinds of stressful conditions.

MN Kundu, Hindustan Times

Unconditional  giving  is  a  natural  principle  and evident everywhere in nature.  Earth  gives  us  solids, liquids and minerals. Water gives itself away  for  our  agriculture  and other uses. Trees give flowers, fruits and wood. Air gives us the very life-breath and the sun gives us light of life.

Even the animals give us their milk, eggs, meat, skin and various services.

Yukti Sehgal, Hindustan Times

The depth of the soul is immeasurable. Not even the human ego can identify with it. It transcends logic and rationale, to speak through the cosmic realm of consciousness. Human attributes of pride, pretentiousness and arrogance nullify in the face of the spirit. The language of the soul pierces through the physical body.

PP Wangchuk, Hindustan Times

Life is living in the present. It is for enjoyment and fulfilment here and now. For that, one must have the presence of mind for the present. In other words, one has to take care of the present in order to take care of the future.

Blessed is he who can seize the present and can make the best use of it.

VN Chhibber, Hindustan Times

Whenever you are angry, before uttering a word, say to yourself, “I’ll get angry  tomorrow.”  So said Atmamaya Raja, and added, “Postponing undesired things reduce their intensity and give you time to reflect on the situation.” To which Swami Atmananda added, “Humans have the freedom to break free of any conditioning and conversely create an entirely new one. So potent is our capacity of self-consciousness.”

You’ll find negative and frustrated people all over.

Sadhguru

Everybody makes a choice, but a choice made in unawareness is compulsion. Let us say you get angry. It is your choice to be angry. You believe that is the way to handle the situation, but the choice is made in such unawareness that it is a compulsion.

One must shift into making a conscious choice. Even a simple act, like when you  wake up in the morning, he unconscious choice is that you do not want to  wake  up.  This is the unconscious choice.

P P Wangchuk, Hindustan Times

Ambrose Bierce, American writer, had said, “In each human heart is a tiger, a pig, an ass and a nightingale. Diversity of character is due to their unequal activity.”

Let us remind ourselves that this “unequal activity” depends entirely on circumstances; and different traits come to the fore in different individuals. Man, when born, comes with no habits and behaviour pattern.

Dharminder Singh Ubha, Hindustan Times

Nature is peerless in vastness, bounties and beauties. It is the richest treasure mankind has. Man can benefit from it, learn from it and enjoy it in countless ways. No other single source can educate his mind and sublimate his soul like nature does.

Rajendra Bist, Hindustan Times

It is a godly act that all men do not think alike. Therefore, it has rightly been said that when all men think alike, no one thinks much. The process of thinking is such that greater the thinking, the greater the possibility of achieving excellent results. And the entire innovative process owes its existence to men who had the courage to think differently.

Shiv Khera is right when he says that great men do not do different things, they do them differently.

With the doctrine of rebirth, each person can understand that his happiness and misery, greatness and smallness and absence of virtue are the results of his own karma (actions) in the previous birth.

The incident I am going to narrate disturbed all my long held beliefs in God. 

Last summer, it was the month of May round about 12 O’clock It was too hot to stay out. The sun was red hot, a merciless incendiary.

“Man is an architect of his own destiny.” A deep thinking is required to understand this phrase. Over the years, we have created many superstitions and rituals around luck like the cat crossing our path, wearing the lucky charm on our wrist etc.

Devendra K Kaushik

Mahavir Jayanti is an important religious day for Jains. On this day in 599 B.C. a boy was born in a royal family in Vaisali district, near Patna.  He was named Vardhman. Because of his display of extra-ordinary courage during his childhood, he was known as Mahavir.

At 30, he renounced his kingdom, family and all material possessions. He wandered in jungles like an ascetic, meditating for most of the time for over 12 years, and received enlightenment.
