PEACE AND SPIRITUALITY IN DAY TO DAY LIFE

DEAR ALL, You may not be a particularly religious person, but then again you don�t need to be religious to be spiritual. People have to work for their living and therefore very few can have the leisure to meditate on a mountain top or be spiritual in a public sense. But, to stay balanced and focused in our lives, each one of us subconsciously tends to look inwards and is by nature, a spiritual person. If life becomes too pressing and the world is too much upon us, a walk in the woods and communion with nature can help. Simply by being with yourself and taking a walk in the unspoilt surroundings and commune if not with God, but with yourself can do wonders. I believe being close to nature is a spiritual experience. When you really love the work you do, it doesnot just become a physical experience but also a mental experience, and an emotional one and the enjoyment and satisfaction you get from it makes it even spiritual. Enjoying what you do, keeps you calm and in touch with your inner self. Was falling in love a spiritual experience? While it leaves you feeling hot and bothered, it also connects you with the higher self. In simple terms, aim for being at peace with oneself and with the world in general. It is hard not to be grumpy or frustrated at times, especially when you hear the growing traffic below your window or the trucks banging into the boundary wall and your neighbors garbage incinerator sending bursts of smoke into your room or your office life is too monotonous and frustrating. Just think that there are places in this world worse than these. Be grateful for what you have and find peace in it. When you find peace in what you have, the world around you will reward you with better and more miraculous possibilities to get peace. Then, life can only get better every moment.   COURTESY:SUCCEED IN EVERYTHING.

Legends say it that it that there was a time when lived a brutal King named Hiranyakashyapa. This demon king Hiranyakashyapa was very cruel and thus forcefully suppressed all this subjects and make them his devotees. He tried to eliminate the existence of God from the earth and establish his own supremacy everywhere. All the citizens of his kingdom were forced to pray to Hiranyakashyapa and not to Vishnu. However his own son, Prahalad, the little never abided by his Kingdoms rule. He tried every way to stop Prahalad from worshipping Vishnu but the little devotee never stopped praying his almighty.

History of Holi

                                   

Holi is one of the most ancient festivals in India and was originally named 'Holika’. Celebrated throughout the country with immense zeal and fervor, Holi is also one of the most popular Indian festivals abroad. The celebrations of Holi differ from region to region, however the zeal and gusto with which the festival is welcomed throughout the country remains the same. It is often said that the modern form of Holi was introduced in Mathura and Vridvana by Lord Krishna himself and that is why Holi holds a special significance in the eastern part of the country. Read on this article to explore the origin as well as the history of Holi in the country.

History of Holi 

The exact origin of the festival can not be found, though several historians claim that the Holi celebration in the country was brought along with the Aryans. It is also quoted as a reason that Holi is still celebrated with great zeal in the more Aryan dominant Northern and Eastern India. There is also a detailed description of this festival in early religious works such as Jaimini's Purvamimamsa-Sutras and Kathaka-Grhya-Sutras. Several other religious and historical texts also discuss in detail about the festival.

It is said that Holi is celebrated in India, since an immemorial time, even in the period before Christ. However, the meaning of the festival is believed to have changed over the eras and phases. Long ago, Holi was a special rite performed by married women for the happiness, well-being and prosperity of their families and the full moon (Raka) was worshiped for bringing auspiciousness and pleasure. With time the way of celebration has changes. Also, the prominent legends related to the festival have changed with time.

Happy Holi !!! 

May this Holi will fill all theCOLOURS in ur life.........

HAPPY WOMEN"S DAY

HAPPY WOMEN"S DAY

 

Happy Woman’s Day

Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize what a gold mine you are, doesn't mean you shine any less.
Just because no one has been smart enough to figure out that you can't be topped, doesn't stop you from being the best.
Just because no one has made this race worthwhile,
doesn't give you permission to stop running.

Just because you deserve the very best there is,
doesn't mean that life is always fair.
Just because your situation doesn't seem to be progressing right now,
doesn't mean you need to change a thing

Just because no one has realized how much of a woman you are,doesn't mean they can affect your femininity.
Just because no one has shown up who can love you on your level,
doesn't mean you have to sink to theirs..

Keep shining, Keep running, Keep hoping, Keep praying, Keep being exactly what you are already:.... 

Embracing Womanhood

There are many ways and myriad reasons for women to honor and embrace all that they are. And when any individual woman chooses to do so, all women collectively move closer to becoming what they are truly capable of being. By honoring her experience and being willing to share it with others—both male and female—she teaches as she learns. When she can trust herself and her inner voice, she teaches those around her to trust her as well. Clasping hands with family members and friends, coworkers and strangers in a shared walk through the journey of life, she allows all to see the self-respect she possesses and accepts their respect, too, that is offered through look, word, and deed.

When a woman can look back into her past, doing so without regret and instead seeing only lessons that brought her to her current strength and wisdom, she embraces the fullness of her experience. She helps those around her to build upon the past as she does. And when she chooses to create her desires, she places her power in the present and moves forward with life into the future.

Seeing her own divinity, a woman learns to recognize the divinity in all women. She then can see her body as a temple, appreciating its feminine form and function, regardless of what age or stage of life she finds herself. She can enjoy all that it brings to her experience and appreciate other women and their experiences as well. Rather than seeing other women as competition, she can look around her to see the cycle of life reflected in the beauty of her sisters, reminding her of her own radiance should she ever forget. She can then celebrate all the many aspects that make her a being worthy of praise, dancing to express the physical, speaking proudly to express her intellect, sharing her emotions, and leading the way with her spiritual guidance. Embracing her womanhood, she reveals the facets that allow her to shine with the beauty and strength of a diamond to illuminate her world.

Being An Awesome Woman!

Stay Blessed

STROKE - Remember the 1st Three Letters== HEALTH-AWARENESS==

THIS KNOWLEDGE COULD BE USEFUL IN EMERGENCY . 

 

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters... 

 My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, wecould save some folks. Seriously.. Please read:   
STROKE IDENTIFICATION: 

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. 

 

It only takes a minute to read this... 

 

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. 

RECOGNIZING A STROKE 

Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR . Read and Learn!  

 

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. 

 

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

 

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

 

T*Ask the person to TALK. To SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today)

 

R*Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

 

{NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue... If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke} 

 

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call for assistance immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. 

 

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
