Today I will do a recap of what I have shared with you all in this year 2023.  As the end of this year is approaching I thought of revising what you all have heard till now. In my introductory episode I spoke about what spirituality is. I recall saying that Raj yoga spirituality is interacting with one or more people. It is a study of interaction between self and others. How do you feel and behave...

So God tells in Bhagavad Gita that everything in the universe goes through three stages from new to medium to old. Whether it is a physical matter or not these three stages happen in all the living or non entities. For example a child becomes a boy then a young man then an adult then an old man and finally leaves the body. Similarly a seed germinates to a plant, a plant to a bush or tree and so on...

This explanation is based on the knowledge of Rajyog taught by God himself in Srimad Bhagavad Gita. The explanation may ask many more questions about why- how- when did the human mind start to deteriorate? You may agree with me or you may not. It is totally your take on the matter however, it is only the logical explanation, which made sense to me and appealed to me when I was looking for answers...

Often laziness gets replaced by procrastination. When a person must intend to do something, and then decide not to do it for any reason, the act qualifies as procrastination. Procrastination is a unique form of delay and we all delay things. Various studies have found that up to 20 percent of adults feel that they struggle with procrastination. It’s important to make these distinctions because eve...

Attachment is very similar to greed but is often mistaken for love and care. It is defined as an emotional bond with a thing, a person or possession. Attachment in reality is like an obsession where the mind thinks the person, situation or the object is in my control. I possess that thing and try to hold it tight just like sand in my fist. Love and attachment seem pretty interconnected, but they a...

Greed can be defined as an intense and excessive craving for resources, particularly wealth-related assets like money, real estate, or other symbols of affluence.

What makes us angry?  Studies say many things can trigger anger like stress,tension, anxiety, family problems, and financial issues, broken relationships, personality traits, or victim feelings. For some people, anger is caused by an underlying disorder, such as alcoholism or depression or any other psychosomatic diseases. In modern ages anger itself isn’t considered a disorder, but anger is a kno...

In some religious stories, like in Genesis, Adam and Eve lived harmoniously in paradise but were forbidden from eating fruit from the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden. Their disobedience led to their expulsion from paradise. The significance of this story is often left unquestioned. Raja Yoga Spirituality offers a deeper understanding of lust and why abstaining from the forbidden apple (a m...

Dictionaries offer various definitions of the term "Ego." It encompasses concepts such as one's sense of self, personal feelings, willingness, and the distinction between oneself and others. In the realm of psychology, Ego is often equated with "self-worth" or "self-importance." Philosophically, Ego is described as an experience that encompasses both the body and...

Indeed, these five vices which have replaced our seven innate qualities, make any human being helpless several times and forces a human soul to commit horrendous deeds. Sometimes unimaginable and unthinkable happenings take place due to these five vices. Why do we humans get so entangled in the five vices? What leaves us when these vices hit us hard? Moreover, what happens to the  seven innate qua...

Once upon a time, there lived a humble man who had just enough to lead a content life, yet his determined faith in the divine never wavered. He held the unwavering belief that God was a constant companion, accompanying him through each moment. In his everyday  life, he pictured God's footprints beside his own, an unfading presence accompanying him through every twist and turn. For more tune in...

I am going to talk about how to realize these seven innate qualities which are hidden inside every human being. The biggest mark in recognizing these qualities is how selfless you feel. Like are you happy for an object or for what you did for others. Like how peaceful you feel when you listen to other people's problems and advise them on what is the correct way of addressing the issue. Or like...

Power being the essential quality of the soul is the most vulnerable in today's human mind . Why do I call it vulnerable because it is so susceptible to getting wounded easily. You may ask Wounded  Why wounded- because most of us  are so fragile and easily shaken up during these times and ages  You may again ask by what?  People Situation  Past accounts/ destiny (Namely) You may once again ask...

When we think of the word Love, the first thing which comes to our minds is the face or the name of the person we are most attached to . Usually, it is our significant other, our sweetheart, or a romantic partner. This long lasting feeling of belonging together is because of trust and selfless bond between two individuals. But ask yourself is this bond restricted to only two individuals? When we a...

Bliss and bless are two words with a difference of a vowel in them. Interestingly, one who is blissful is the one who is blessed by the Supreme Lord. When God's unconditional love is experienced by any human soul the soul attains immediate bliss. Bliss is the most rewarding quality a human soul can gain. It is a true love situation, in which both partners are eager to make unconditional spirit...

What do I mean when I say this?  It simply means that I am the creator of my happiness. Now you may ask how? I feel it when I buy an object, like a person, love my surroundings, cherish my possessions or my accomplishments, but it is not the same. If that object or person or possession brings happiness then it should bring happiness for all. just like a musk deer wandering for musk but doesn't...

Human mind constantly runs after this one word “Peace”. Everyone has a strong belief that one attains peace only after one is dead. That is why we hear ‘may the departed rest in peace, death is the peaceful sleep, I will be in peace when I am dead and so on, too often and from too many people. I always wonder why? Is death the only way to attain peace?  What is peace after all?  Peace is defined a...

Purity is  associated with divine quality. Purity is defined as freedom from anything that debases, contaminates, pollutes, or is evil, negative or full of guilt.

Education comes from the word 'Educe' which means to draw out, or extract, or invoke something hidden. Inwardly,  education means to teach self. Whereas, education which is given today is more induction meaning giving instructions outwardly, providing infor...

Just like water has a tendency to cool down no matter how long we boil the water, it eventually cools down. Or fire has a natural tendency to burn everything. Wind has a nature to blow and rain to wet Similarly, we human souls have natural tendencies, no matter how many  other qualities we acquire, at the end of the day we need some of our inbuilt qualities...

‘Crossing the Rubicon river’ would have been easier for Caesar in comparison to the author of this non fiction, who chose to change her life a complete180 degrees. Failing more often than succeeding week after week, for adopting a lifestyle contradicting her old ways of living. Not giving up but firmly holding on to the last thread of hope. A strong affirmation, a belief-when many successfully did...
