In India, only two states- Maharashtra and Karnataka have the law on prevention of superstition. If someone is convicted, a sentence of at least one year and the fine up to 5000 will be imposed. This bill includes practices like- black magic, magical tantrum, and astrological predictions. Under this bill, predictions will be considered as a crime based on superstitious practices such as sacrificing animal or human, adopting violent methods to cure a disease, performing black magic, hurting yourself, propagating superstitious beliefs and astrology. These states believe that the idea of scientific thinking and understanding should be developed in its people. And such law will help in rectifying the non-legal intentions in the name of faith and belief. In Indian society, the prolonged existence of religious superstitions has gone deeper in its roots and penetrated inside. In such situations, the rest of the states should also come forward. In fact, such type of law is needed to...

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.

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 ...
