Population

 Countries with declining population are fast increasing, total 41 in 2022 expected to be 88 in 2050.

Fast falling fertility rate is a bigger problem specially in lower middle income countries. Premature greying of workforce reduces productivity.,The negative effects effects of China will now haunt India too as we  became most populous country of the world.

Pace of economic growth is Indias main challenge and it should be our policy priority today.

Everyday Prescription

Wake up, feel your nostril, keep your same foot down with a  little pressure and walk twenty steps.              Stretch upwards with both hands up twice and bend in all directions slowly as for as you can.                      Take a glass of water, go to toilet and brush teeth.                                                                                             Massage with sesame oil, exercise, do Surya Namaskar ,Yoga , Pranayam and Meditation.                           Please take good walk for  at least twenty minutes and a very rich breakfast.                                                                                                         

Devine Power

The demon Mahishasur obtains boon that no one no man can kill him, believes that he is immortal but in a fierce battle  and Mother Durga slays him. The arrogance and the dismissal of the  forces and sense of securing nature, lust and greed. Honour of the women as Goddess is the reminding message of Navratri.

IndianTradition

The important message of Indian tradition that we can share with the rest of world is gratefulness and productive use of energy.  Indian ancient belief that tradition are stronger indicator of ecological ethics and wellbeing. People generally equate happiness with small gratification of their needs and desiring more

and more one thing to another.Money as we know is also important because we can buy so much by this. When happiness is hedonia that is pleasure a good meal or cinema can serve it.Endamonia is another which is like a concept of human and social flourishing and satisfaction. In hedonia based assessment India is at 136 but Denmark and Netherland are in top 5. It proves that pleasure and happiness are different.

Reaching God

The seed of God is present in us all.We can realise our full potential by leading pure life and performing regular contact with this,

 over a period of time.All trees are there in the small seed or even a bunch of cell,this is why God the one and indivisible appears as many because of the seeds present in all of us.The two aspects of God,the immanent and  transcendent though seam opposed to each other are two sides of the same coin. In final stage of meditation, Nirvikalp Samadhi  selfishness which separates us from the supreme is erradicated, this is discovery of self in the depth of our consciousness. This is where we see the face behind all faces and ultimate cause behind all phenomenal existence. We have to know ourselves first for knowing God going to the depth of soul, the secret roots.

Mother Nature

There is a link between environment,our        wellbeing and future of humanity as well as universe.Our action and planning should not break this link otherwise our great grand children might ask," You greedy of materials and development know,this will happen but failed to stop the ruin". Nature they say including our sky is resilient thus we can still riverse some of the damages inflicted on our precious planet. If we fail to take decisive ction in next 5 to 10 years, the damage will multiply so fast that it will no more remain attendable and doom perhaps will be the only result.

On Yoga

Yoga believes that God exist as highest self.God of Shankhya and Upanishad comprises of theoretical knowledge, as their God is a postulate, a multiple time proved theory. He is supreme ruler, creator, sustainer and anihilater aswell. Patanjalis God is Ishwar who is untouched by ignorance and not subject to Karma or  Sanskar. Patanjali established that man can take refuse in God and any liberation cannot make him Brahma or one with him. He, Ishwar is graceful  and by sustained devotion samadhi is achieved. In fact until the liberation moment is reached Brahma cannot be known but one can imagine Ishwar. Yoga teaches us to know and not believe as it is pure science.

The Lession of KOSHAS

First  among the koshas is layer of mind i.e. like a very eminent plantain flower,proving that every object of creation emanates from vibrations.If we unify all the capacity of sensory and motor organs including the mind with the universal rhymes i,e. collective vibration or proper rhyme,it will be a new  identity which can be called the high universal rhyme.
The undoing of our Chitta and mind can certainly do it and it is a vacation of preoccupied mind. if in this manner our small I ness is converted and transformed into a larger or rather the largest I ness...
It is  unending flow of bliss...

Family and Parenting

                         Stress free environment has very positive outcome for all our family members. Praise, affection, understanding and acceptance make a family where all the members are confident and comfortable. Some tips for good parenting are given below:-

• Talk to your kids, describe and make them recognise things and understand shapes, colours and other objects to enhance language understanding according to their age.
• Introduce children with world of books to enhance their power of thinking and understanding.
• Don't decide for children what is right for them. Only understand  them and try to know what they are enjoying.
• Avoid talking like babies because they hear and copy it.
• Love oriented and democratic atmosphere makes children more human and assertive.
• Regular communication and independence in upbringing are in fact two opposites to be managed.
• Right parental involvement make academically more successful children and for the first they should be taught properly to follow instructions.
• Each child is unique. The why me attitude is not good. It is better to be direct and think what can I do and deliver it.
• Patient, not over protective, treating with equality and being gentle but firm are the key rules to be practised.
• Parent teacher and child relation is like marriage of heart and mind quite like experience and experiment. There should be continuous pursuit of analysing, learning and improving.

On This Maha Shivratri

We need to take steps to experience god's Love in our lives.This is done by withdrawing our attention from the outer world and focusing it on the inner spiritual world. As  we connect with light and sound of God, we experience the joy, bliss and love of inner world.Gradually we progress on inner journey until our soul merges back in the basic,original source reuniting with divine. 

             Body they rightly say is miniature of universe if we can transcend what remains is only God.Sadhana is for purity only.Once we start it,nature and divine both take charge of it,this results in a purely automatic journey..

Visitors

We are all only visitors.Biologically impermanance is hard wired into us but the software of our mind is not programmed to accept this reality.Transience infact is only permanance,departure is the only certainty we face in our lives,pass away and go to our heavenly abode.

Teachers

This world has only thoughts, emotions and objects, our intellect, mind and body interprets everything into that, as we find that at all the worldly grief is product of these with our mind and exhibited in the form of agitation. Removing the agitation we are disconnected to all the griefs and happiness naturally invades us. This is facilitated by masters, the real teachers. Masters and reachers are not mortal individuals, but really the person to whom ultimate truth stands revealed and physical body and existence of guru communicates. Thus rea guru is God and masters are vehicle of elaboration.

Boosting Immunity

We should regularly take food supplements like vitamin B complex, vitamin C and D, Zinc and Magnesium and should try to take food rich in vitamin C such as Amla, Lemon, and other citrus fruits according to convenience. Main thing is balance of acidity and maintenance of alkaline medium in digestion up to 80% as acidic body is very prone to infections. First thing is to avoid all types of processed and canned food, sugar and refined oil. It is also very necessary to remain hydrated by water or different type of juices. A small dose of Ashwagandha, Giloy and Tulsi i.e. Basil taken regularly in any form maintains a very good profile of immunity. Ginger, garlic, turmeric, clove, cinnamon etc are all very good boosters. One very basic thing for immunity built up is freedom from cough, cold and other respiratory issues.

Importance of Guru

                                 Swami Vivekanand asked Ramkrishna Paramhamsa that he has  read scriptures manytimes,gave discources on Gita and Ramayan.Whether he needed the  harbor of a  saint or Guru.Paramhamsa did not reply but after a few days gave him a parcel which was to be delivered to someone designated by him.                                                                                                                                                                Vivekanand   was  ready when he reached the river, boat and sailor were also ready there but before boarding he thought that he should ask convenient and short route from Paramhamsaji so that it is easy to search and deliver so he came to meet Rama Krishna.Ramkrishna asked him to get seated and said,Narendra, this is my reply to your question regarding a Guru.You know everything and have everything but do  not know the practical and short way.To realise the wisdom of scriptures one needs a guru.Choose a Guru wisely and stay blessed.                                          

Name of God

                       Indian scriptures confirm that even if one has transgressed all the laws of morality and religion and indulged in all shorts of sin can be liberated through the utterance of the name of God.Hari is a lovely name of God which means one who destroys sin just as purity of fire burns even inadvertents.                                                                                                                                                                      Souls are infinite in number but some of them are not only pure but also liberated which are above bodily existance. pure souls by attaining knowledge become free of bondage and does not bind with karma.That is why it is said that bondage and liberation both lie in self.

Our Environment

                             We are part of ecosystem and depend upon this for survival.The rapid change with increasing development challenges this dependence.All individuals,societies,institutions and countris need to be conscious of it and perform their respective duties and obligations in respective environmental governance for sustainable development of the world and to create an earth homeland for harmonious coexistence of mankind,animals,plants and environment.Actions include promoting public understanding,monitoring and reporting the effects of environmental change, and proposing and advocating local adoptive responses is the need of the present hour.

The Environment

                    Our environment is supplier of our life needs.From prehistoric period we know that environment changed all the things which were important to us.People migrated as the polar ice retreated or advanced.The crops are adjusted and changed when rain patterns get altered.These challenges intimidate human fitness and well being,changed the profile of resources and infrastructure.People sometimes are hit so badly that their income and employment is disrupted it,specially in poor and marginalized areas. In fact environmental inequities are social inequities with serious implications on social justice.                                                                                                                             The health risk caused by climate changes include the direct,indirect,difused and delayed effects.There are heat waves,altered exposures to infectious diseases and frequent natural disasters.Now they are affecting even the creativity,skill,research,policy analysis and stakeholders of different type.                                                                                                                                                                 We need to wakeup to this danger and reduce disruption as well as possible and make preparations even for unavoidable environmental changes.

Bhagwat Gita Simplified

                                 Bhagwat Gita the ancient Indian book of wisdom and life essence ,contains the highest esoteric doctrines.It is also considered as the the excavated  nector of Upanishads and other scriptures.It has been established in Gita that the unreal has no existance, and the real never ceases to be.The reality of both has thus been percieved by the seers of truth..na sato vidyate bhawah na bhavo vidyate satah.                                                                                                                                                                                Thus one should analyse his daily mental and physical work as well as actions to decide just how much of his life is really ruled by ignorance and  sleep caused by ego and body consciousness and how much he goes to express the devine nature and wisdom of soul.                                                           Practically the human consciousness is to be displaced by consciousness of the soul.This is most important teaching of Gita.

Grandparent`s Teach

                           Return money or anything you have taken from someone before asking or reminding .It shows your high moral and character and also proves your integrity.Never return or get upgraded the gifts given by someone.                                                                                                                                                    Never order expensive dish or things on celebration dinner or complimentary shopping, ask and honour their choices.Never ask awkward questions like why are you not married or why dont you buy a car etc.                                                                                                                                                  Always open the door for the person behind you. Never call someone repeatedly in continuation, he might be busy.Respect differances of opinion, try honestly to appreciate the view and logic of others and never interrupt while presenting, stop teasing if someone does not enjoy it.Please treat cleaner with the same respect and warmth as CEO of the company and always praise people publically and criticise them privately.                                                                                                                                  Never give advice until you are asked and always mind purely your business.                             

Nature Teaches

                            The air which by getting in abundance we find is greatest priority and endowment of mother nature to us is throne out of our body by our breathing machine in less than a minute.                                        Similarly the second priority of nature i e water after the intake is ousted out of our system within  maximum six hours,else we may fall ill.                                                                                                        In the same manner what soever is consumed by us  as food whether it is solid or semisolid is also throne out of our body system within twentyfour hours.If retained more it becomes toxin in due cource and causes illness.                                                                                                                                   All our negative emotions, anger, jealousy,hatred and thought waves of our ego as well as self esteam remain in our mind and body for many months and years,some enemities continue for many generations.These negative objects of our life cause psycho somatic diseases in long run and make us suffer in manifold ways.Thoughtful activation of positivity and generous good done to the people and others, coupled with prayer and meditation can only disolve these potent causes.
