The Next vacation

-

Most of us long to visit new places ; relish visiting remote lands, exploring and experiencing the different, savouring the change. But it will never be enough. We will keep craving for new experiences.

To really appreciate this life and break the monotony( rather shock you out of monotony); it will be worthwhile to visit

  • Hospitals
  • Old Age homes
  • Slaughter houses
  • Animal shelters
  • Sanctuaries for the mentally ill
  • Home for the disabled/blind
  • Orphanages/ refugee Camps
  • Centres for palliative care for the terminally ill
  • Cemeteries/ Burial grounds
“Returns” from these visits;
  • To know that we just got incredibly lucky to be just the way we are
  • To permit any residual Pride to give way to humility
  • To realize that however mighty man is , all can change in a few seconds
  • To those who fear death…..; please know those who wish for death
  • To help open one’s eyes in kindness
  • Realize how much simple words of love and care are valued
  • To know that the greatest blessing is not material ; but simply that the limbs & organs are intact and functioning
  • A million Thanks to God for what I am and what I have.
  • To do whatever you can to erase the pain of innocent animals, and also the suffering of the world with a word, a smile or a deed
  • To know the worthlessness of wealth
  • The know that final resting place is absolutely the same in spite of all the accumulated comforts and luxuries
  • That this life is transitory and we are travelers in a needless hurry
  • To know that every second of this travel is to be savored with thanks
  • To decide here and now that it is to be Utilized in the best possible way for all of Gods creations

The Conscious Omnivore

I did think of mentioning as Non-vegetarian rather than Omnivore but it kind of gave a unique status to us humans; which is not required. Many humans are Omnivores and that’s it. A vegetarian is an Herbivore and that is fine too.  Ok now to the point. If we as humans feel that we necessarily have to supplement with animal food/products for any reason ( for eg.medical advice ) I suggest below is probably a way to do it right ; which makes us fully conscious humans. Basically the act of consumption needs to be done consciously.( I have not added the taste, cultural practice of eating meat and other aspects as that is outside the purview of this blog ) 1) B efore eating or cooking please start with thanking the food item(Milk; animal meat ,egg, fish etc ) for having spared its life for us. While thanking kindly experience that we are enjoying a major luxury. The luxury is that of having killed(milk is involves killing too);  another living being that could have seen God's sky...

New to Prana ?

For the uninitiated will begin with an introduction to Prana . Indian languages use this word to convey different meanings. Simply put, it is "Life". I would however be using the word to convey the true meaning - "Cosmic Energy". My sole purpose is to "hope" to communicate to as many, the true meaning of Prana as I have understood it; from short guided learnings from a few professionals and also from personal experiences. Will also suggest a few amateur tips to tap it to derive health and happiness. The fundamental philosophy is that, any form of life/anything living, can be so, only as long as at least a bit of Prana remains in it . The 'measurable' component of this Prana is the 'Aura'. ( Aura I mean is in "Pranic" terms. We of course have the regular alternatives to detect life : Heart beat, Pulse...etc. ). An aura surrounds anything living; and this aura is self generated. Once an organism is not surrounded by this s...
