How do we recognize between the alive people or those who have died? In general, the person who possesses his breath, i.e., as long as someone in the process of breathing, we can say that the person is alive. Likewise, when the process of breathing in and out stops, life is exhausted, then we say that this person has died. This is an important point of view. If we want to remain alive, we must give a deep thought on it. A popular thinker has said in the phrases of Sanskrit that - " स जीवति गुणा यस्य धर्मो यस्य स जीवति। गुणधर्मविहीनो यो निष्फलं तस्य जीवितम् ” , which means that those who have virtues, and who have the religion, they are the one -actually alive. The one who is devoid of both- the Virtue and the religion, his life is meaningless, and that person is dead. We must observe and analyze by ourselves that whether I am well-equipped with good qualities or do follow the religious way in my conduct or not? If I do not possess ten divine qualities such as ...

I do not know whether it was necessary to write on this subject or not, but one thing is known when some people unite to harm the religion and society, then Krishna also tells Arjun that get up dear and aim through the bow. In the past, 5 members of the Supreme Court Constitution Bench rejected the 158-year-old section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, according to which to create unnatural sex with mutual consent is no more crime. The court said that this provision violates the right of equality provided in the Constitution. With this decision of the Supreme Court, India became the 26th country where unnatural sex would be accepted. Actually, if homosexuality is described in clear words then to make a relationship of a man with a man and to make a relationship of a woman with a woman is homosexuality. In India, in the year 1861, section 377 was created by the Britishers under which homosexuality or unnatural sex was seen as a criminal offense. But now it has got judicial approval...

India is a spiritual country and it is also the source of many popular sects, religions and religious practices in the world. Along with the religious beliefs, many popular saints' vis-a-vis spirituality has also originated from this land. Thereby a lot of festivals and festivities are celebrated here with grandeur and a high religious-spiritual faith. Kumbh Mela is one of such festival wherein a huge segment of people from the country and abroad arrive in large number to live and realize the spiritual spirit of India. This year, in 2019, the Kumbh Mela is being organized in Prayagraj. Ardh Kumbh in Prayagraj has begun from 15 January 2019 and run till March 04, 2019. Kumbh is one of the greatest occasions, in which, with the fullest reference to the spiritual significance, a million of people from all over the world assemble, thus marking a huge achievement for the Hindu culture in itself. This is an event where millions of pilgrims, saints, Mahatma, and ascetic men parti...

Today while scrolling down the youtube, I suddenly paused my search and fingers at the name of a small movie- ‘meri beti sunny banna chahti hai’. On the face, it was shocked to hear about the existence of such a movie but then I decided to watch and analyze the mindset behind the making of such movies. In that eleven minutes movie, there were three characters including a central character- a girl who made her parents shocked on her life goal. She argumentatively tries to convince them that why she wants to become like sunny Leoni in her life. Her most apparent logic behind this aim was that just like the way a businessman used to trade his good and services likewise she will also do. Well, before analyzing and interpreting the movie, its character, storyline, and motto behind it, I want to share one challenging episode of my own life which happened almost a year ago when I was going through the toughest time period of my journey of life. In fact, before proceeding to this too,...

In Korba district of Chhattisgarh, a son sacrificed his mother to carry out his superstitious activity. He drunk his blood, slaughtered the body into pieces and later burned it in the stove. This news is from the same country India, who was proudly showing the world its science power by sending together 104 satellites last year. But in spite of this, we are all embarrassed because here victims of superstitions in our country are more than the people who suffered from terror or war in a country. If you look at the figures of this subject, then after seeing this blind faith, our head must bend down with shame. Regardless of anything, this game of superstition is being played fearlessly. When such incidents happen, the big religious leaders are either found to be silent or try to hush up the matter by calling the murderer just an ignorant. The report of the United Nations says that between 1987 and 2003 in India, 2 thousand 556 women were killed by calling/declaring them a witch,...

Many days ago, I became really sad, when I came to know that that many families are taking the support of astrology to give birth to a child in the auspicious time so that the birth of a baby can change and the future of the child can be made golden. It has increasingly become a way of thinking of people that if a child is born in the auspicious time and with respect to auspicious planets and stars, then he will be fortunate. For this, both doctors and astrologers are being resorted to. But can there be any good fortune without ethics, morals and good education and just by going against nature? After all, how all these discrepancies arose in our society? If we look towards our past, there were a few pundits in one or two cities or in some of the villages, they used to make fool of innocent people using their owls. But today a large section bows their heads in which the educated youth, politicians, actors do come in. In fact, when India had stepped into the next century era of ...

Born in the urban estate of a Big town, 17-year-old, Mr. Surya is just like the any other youth of India. His parents brought him up very dedicatedly, patiently, and carefully. They actually left no stone unturned while looking after his education, providing health facilities, amusement options and a lot more. Being the only child to his parents, who are again the single children to their respective parents, it was Surya who has to look for the aging elders at his home, ultimately, which includes- four of his grandparents and two- his own parents. Apart from carrying attributes like high intellectual capacity and decision-making skills, he was at the time highly ignorant to his elders, adamant by nature and least adjustive to the family. His parents were really concerned about his growing tough behaviour and carrying rudeness towards his responsibilities. While recalling the day he was born, his parents had found themselves fortunate enough to have the first child as male and ...

I belong to a small village area and working in a metropolitan city. While traveling to and faro to my parental home during weekends, I have to come across the few metro stations. On the station which falls on the end, I usually saw many baggers- young boys and girls; a few women (abled and disabled both). The bagging seems to be such a routine work for all the passer-by that the level of pleading hardly makes any difference to many of them. They seldom end up by donating a few coins or a time just with small currency notes. The baggers are also nowhere behind in trying the newest way out to showcase their agony to the highest level and successfully fetching the maximum amount from the maximum number of people. Even at times, I saw the same boy lying with a bandage wrapped all over his head along with an old age lady, posing as if he had some head injuries and with no medical option he is lying unconsciously while his mother is pleading for help from the passing by people. The...

There cannot never be two opinions on the idea that our today will determine our tomorrow. For instance, the thinking and ideology that we will move forward from here, the same ideology will affect the tomorrow of the society and country. Today if you neutrally observe and intensively study the youth from social media to university platform, you will find them discussing social, economic and political issues. You will see a great change right away. The youth will appear as the serious thinker, but later the same youth will be somewhat different. For them, is, read books, learn new things, but leave them before entering the house and society. Hereby, we classify the youth in four parts. The first youth is a thinker but cannot do anything. The other is a thinker but he does not want to do anything. The third youth is anxious and contemplative but wants an opportunity for himself. After this, there is a fourth kind of youth who is different from all these. He has no thinking and ...

जन्म व मृत्यु से जुड़े कुछ प्रश्नों पर विचार ----------------------------------------------------- मनुष्य एक शरीर धारी जीवात्मा को कहते हैं जो मनुष्यों के समान आकृति सहित मननशील प्राणी होता है। जीवात्मा एक चेतन तत्व है जो सत्य, एकदेशी, ससीम, अल्पज्ञ, अल्प सामर्थ्य, जन्म-मरण धर्मा, कर्मों को करने वाला व ईश्वरीय व्यवस्था से उनके फल भोगने वाला है। मनुष्यों को मनुष्य-जन्म उसके पूर्व जन्मों के कर्मों के अनुसार प्राप्त होता है। यदि मनुष्य जन्म में मनुष्यों के कर्मों के खाते में पुण्य कर्म पाप कर्मों से अधिक हैं तो उसका मनुष्य जन्म होता है अन्यथा कर्मानुसार उसका ., पतंग आदि योनियों में होता है। इस जन्म में मनुष्य योनि में हमारा जन्म हुआ है। इसका अर्थ है कि इस जन्म से पूर्व जन्म में हम मनुष्य ही रहे होंगे और हमारे शुभ कर्म अशुभ कर्मों से कुछ अधिक रहे होंगे। संसार में एक नियम कार्य कर रहा है कि जिसका जन्म होता है उसकी मृत्यु अवश्य होती है। अतः मृत्यु होने पर जन्म होना भी निश्चित होता है। यह ज्ञातव्य है कि मृत्यु होने पर जीवात्मा का अभाव नहीं होता अपितु वह आकाश व वायु में विद्यमान रहता है और पू...
