Its never easy to forecast the future Throughout history writers scientists and by and large gifted people have prognosticated about the future Looking back on these predictions is usually laughable but every now and then someone hits the nail on the head While predictions of the future can never be absolutely certain let s jump forward in time and see what some scientists have said may happen within the next 25 thousand years People will be fluent in every language With various Internet giants racing to perfect instant translation it wont be long until your cellphone speaks Chinese on your behalf It will communicate with traffic lights to improve traffic flow It will interact with other vehicles to prevent accidents It will let you drag and drop a playlist from your home network It will find the petrol pump and handle the payment It will notify you when someone dents your door and supply footage of the incident Dentists are already using this modern tech wonder to transform laser scans of your mouth into customfit appliances for your teeth But thats a fraction of what the machine can do When a 3D printer costs the same as say an HDTV you will use one of your own to download all sorts of useful things marveling as it creates each item layer by layer from plastic rubber titanium you name it Just imagine your future self printing a birthday cake or a Rolex Rescuers will use electronic noses to locate disaster victims Some devices will use an array of sensors to rapidly detect carbon dioxide ammonia and acetone released into the rubble via breath sweat and skin Others sniff out chemical compounds from human remains buried 3 feet underground All keep working long after the dogs have retired to their kennels The human immune system is supremely adept at detecting and neutralizing foreign substances Why not train it to target illicit ones Thats the idea behind addiction vaccines Persuade the body to produce antibodies that shut down drug molecules before they get to the brain When miniaturization reaches its full potential achieving superhuman eyesight will be as simple as placing a soft lens on your eye Circuits and antennas can also be grafted onto flexible polymer enabling zooming night vision and visible data fields Humans may upgrade themselves to become cyborgs within the next 200 years merging man and machine to potentially live forever according to a Hebrew University professor Yuval Noah Harari a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem believes the wealthy will transform into a new type of divine immortal human with complete power over life and death Human dissatisfaction will drive mankind to upgrade themselves and that cyborg technology will allow them to do this according to Harari In the year 2 500 more than 20 000 ships set out 2 headed for each planet It was inevitable that many ships would successfully make the journey No one knew what they would find There was no plan for communication between the stars The colonisation of the Milky Way had begun Personalised medicine in which drugs are prescribed according to the patients molecular background rather than by trial and error can become reality The ultimate empowerment of medical consumers who will know their own disease risks and seek commensurate treatment rather than relying on the hunches and folklore of a paternalistic family doctor We will need to feed 10 billion people and nature cant keep up with demand so we will need much more ocean farming for fish But algae farming is also on the way for renewable energy and maybe even for growth of feedstock raw materials or resource extraction via GM seaweed or algae We will have the ability to communicate through thought transmission Transmission will be just as easy as other forms of brain augmentation Picking up thoughts and relaying them to another brain will not be much harder than storing them on the net First space elevators will certainly be around and although cheap is a relative term it will certainly be a lot cheaper than conventional space development It will create a strong acceleration in space development and tourism will be one important area but I doubt the costs will be low enough for most people to try We could learn that theres an invisible universe that mirrors our own No one knows whether we are alone out here or not and in some thousands of years we will definitely get all our answers Sadly some scientists have predicted that about 20 to 30 percent species will face extinction within next 100 years This will be known as the 6th mass extinction on planet earth The extinction event will be the result of habitat destruction and climate change due to human activity Human beings are predicted to have an average life span of 140 years in the future and will also have the technological capabilities of digital storage of the human personality This will enable them to achieve immortality In the next 2000 years scientists have predicted that the earths magnetic field would flip These studies show that the pole switches every half a million year or so There are also evidences that suggest that before the earths magnetic pole switch the magnetic field slowly fades out and reappears with the poles reversed Since the Earths magnetic fields protect us from the Suns harmful radiation as it faded we may face a disaster In the 1974 a collection of radio data was broadcasted into the space through frequency modulated radio waves and was called the Arecibo message The message was aimed at the current location of globular star cluster M13 some 25 000 light years away because M13 was a large and close collection of stars that was available in the sky at the time and place of the ceremony Within 25 thousand years the message will reach its destination So the question is will somebody be there to receive it The nanotechnology of recent decades has conferred powers to citizens that would be considered superhuman by 21st century standards These upgraded transhumans could perform feats regarded as Godlike to denizens of earlier times Terraforming means transforming a planet so as to resemble the earth especially so that it can support human life By the middle of this millenium the Red Planet will be turned from a cold dead world into a lush Edenlike paradise This monumental achievement will be the result of human collaboration on a planetwide scale The wide spread belief in Global Warming is controversial while temperatures are rising some scientists believe that it isn t out of pattern for the Earth and that in the next century we may face a cooling rather than warming Obviously this would change evolution but the same principle applies The improvements in healthcare education and living standards will make humans evolving into a race of giants 7ft tall muscular and highly athletic with lifespans of 120 Note that this lifespan refers to purely biological noncyborg humans who will comprise a small minority by then There will be 9 billion people on the planet in 2050 seven out of 10 of them in urban areas and everyones got to eat Future food production will depend on farmscrapers that grow pesticidefree crops yearround making it much simpler to eat local In the brains of everyone from abusive parents and rapists to arms dealers and heads of state there can arise a concatenation of nerve impulses which allow someone to see as normal the mutilation maiming or death of another for ones own pleasure greed or benefit If such a specific pattern of brain activity were detectable could methods then be devised that prevented or disrupted it whenever it was about to arise Within 25 years the world will achieve many major successes in tackling the deadliest diseases of all Certainly we will be poliofree and probably will have been for more than a decade The fight to eradicate polio represents one of the greatest achievements in global health to date The climate controlled clothes will protect soldiers from extreme heat and cold The secret to allweather clothing is Peltier plates which can be used to warm you up or cool you down by sending an electric current across the junction between two different metals This would be done with selfhealing concrete Invented by University of Michigan engineer Victor Li the new composite is laced with microfibers that bend without breaking Hairline fractures mend themselves within days when calcium ions in the mix react with rainwater and carbon dioxide to create a calcium carbonate patch Picture a rotorpropelled drone that tracks a pattern on your Tshirt with an onboard camera Now imagine it flying in front of you at worldrecord pace Scientists are hard at work trying to perfect apps that can measure your heart and respiration rates perform blood and saliva tests even evaluate your cough Question is how long it will take the medical industry to embrace them These buildings will help us fight smog When sunlight strikes their aluminum skin a titanium dioxide coating releases free radicals which break down the grime and convert toxic nitrogen oxide molecules in the air into a harmless nitrate Everything washes away in the rain Drugs will be tested on organ chips that mimic the human body The new silicon chip will feature channels that house living kidney or lung cells Simulated blood and oxygen flow allows them to mirror the actions of real organs reducing the need for animal testing and speeding up drug development

When I heard the words Forgive the person you hate the most I found it really tough but on trying hard I surrendered and my ego crumbled Everything I learned since childhood came pouring through me I had no more excuses about why not to forgive this person Instead I embraced several reasons to do just that I focused passionately on those reasons as I stretched my body and mind simultaneously So what were the reasons Let me shareMost of what we attract into our lives is a mere reflection of what is inside of us Our thoughts and actions create our exterior world The Law of Attraction teaches us that like attracts like and we will never experience a happy ending at the end of an unhappy journey By holding onto anger and resentment we are prepaving our journey to be filled with anger and resentment The way we feel and the emotions we hold are what we use to create Family members spouses friends etc everyone is brought into our lives to teach us more about ourselves Thanking them for being a part of our journey and teaching us lessons that we now no longer need to learn is an incredible step in expanding our consciousness This same philosophy applies to our negative failed relationships too Once you truly learn the lesson behind a negative relationship you will then no longer attract situations and future relationships that attempt to teach you the same lesson Adjusting your perspective to a place of forgiveness and gratitude allows you to no longer play the victim card Most of the time you are not a victim of anything other than your own vibration and level of attraction When you continue to blame someone else you automatically give control of your life to someone else and thus set yourself up to be a lifelong victim Have compassion for where other people are in their lives It might not be where you are but most people are doing the best they can at their particular level of awareness and understanding Forgiveness embodies the concept of what goes around comes around We are all human and we have all done unthinkable things And deep down we all yearn for the same forgiveness When we release others from the penalties of their actions we create a space where our own thoughtless actions against others can be forgiven as well The process of growth is continuous The moment we stop learning searching for lessons and expanding our consciousness the ego steps in and takes over We are always moving toward something greater and forgiveness helps us get there faster by eliminating our ties to dead weight from our past We should never be expecting anything from anyone When we do this we give up our own power to decide We alone are the creator of our universe and when we are connected to our own inner source we no longer need anything from anyone It s still nice to receive things from time to time but we don t need these things to move forward with our lives Too often we injure one another simply because we are trying to protect ourselves financially emotionally etc even when it s at someone else s expense We have all done it Becoming aware of this pattern allows us to stop needlessly injuring others for our own benefit And as you know what goes around comes around Not everyone and every situation is meant to be a part of our lives forever Sometimes they are only there long enough to help us open the next chapter of our story in In addition we are all connected We have never met another person that we have not loved in some small way Sometimes we just don t consciously know how to understand it and show it A bit of sarcasm in this one but it s so true You can always seek revenge positively by creating a better future for yourself Because nothing annoys an adversary or negative force in your life more than seeing you smile after you have genuinely forgiven them and moved forward with your life In most walks of life I think it s fairly easy to say I forgive soandso Deep down though the resentment and anger still lingers within us and in our subconscious minds which then impacts our future experiences But one you forgive someone from your heart you will feel lighter and free Who would you like to forgive Who would you regret not forgiving before you die Please share your thoughts by leaving a comment below There is great value in every act of forgiveness It is about letting go completely and permanently within yourself Forgiveness is recognizing the reality that what has happened has already happened and that there s no point in allowing it to dominate the rest of your life Forgiveness refreshingly cleans the slate and enables you to step forward Here are five unique ways to make this step possible If you re trying hard and haplessly making zero progress stop trying Stop trying and start being When you see yourself as trying to do something else or get somewhere else you don t interpret what you have and where you are as being good enough This perception of constantly trying makes living seem like an endless struggle There is great value within you right here right now Allow it to come out willingly and without a struggle Instead of trying to get to some other point in your life give your full attention to doing your very best with the life you are living now Instead of believing that you are not there yet be grateful that you are right where you are meant to be at this moment Let go of all the needless trying and let yourself take these steps peacefully and mindfully Let go of the judgments forgive the past and let this moment be as incredible as it is You are ultimately the sole creator of your own feelings When negative thoughts arise based on past experiences or future worries as they sometimes will realize that these are simply issues your mind not you is working through Pause be present and pay close attention Think about these thoughts and emotions consciously almost as if you were a bystander looking in Separate yourself from your mind s thinking By not judging your thoughts or blaming them on anyone else and merely watching them there will be a big shift within you your sense of self worth It s not like you won t get upset anymore or never feel anxious but knowing that your thoughts and emotions are just fleeting feelings that are independent of YOU will help ease your tension and increase your positive presence allowing you to forgive and let go Feeling sorry for yourself and sabotaging the present moment with resentful thoughts of the past won t make anything better Hurting someone else will never ease your own inner angst If you re disappointed with yourself or frustrated with someone else the answer is not to take it out on the world around you Retribution whether it s focused on yourself or others brings zero value into your life The way beyond the pain from the past is not with vengeance mockery bullying or retaliation but with present love Forgive the past forgive yourself forgive others and love the present moment for what it s worth There are plenty of beautiful things to love right now you just have to want to see them Loving is never easy especially when times are tough yet it is easily the most powerful and positively enduring action possible If you re feeling pain don t take action that creates even more pain Don t try to cover darkness with darkness Find the light Act out of love Are you contemplating revenge You know that s negative thinking getting the best of you However there is a way to seek revenge positively How Forget about them Remember you Working on a better you is more fulfilling than hanging on to contempt of others Let it all go and hold on to your growth and kindness instead If you train yourself to consistently be more loving in thoughts and actions your positive energy will attract more positive results into your current reality Be unlike the person or situation that hurt you Let go and grow past your pain Carry on living well in a way that creates peace in your heart The energy you would spend trying to get real revenge can be better spent creating an amazing future for yourself The bottom line is that the best revenge is happiness because nothing drives your adversaries more insane than seeing a fresh smile on your face Mistakes are the growing pains of wisdom Most of the time they just need to be accepted not forgiven There is an obvious shift in your heart and mind that happens when you go from feeling hurt and upset to peaceful and loving but it s not necessarily forgiveness that s taking place it s just the realization that there was nothing to forgive in the first place Perfection doesn t exist Forgiveness is oftentimes the simple realization that there is nothing that actually needs to be forgiven
The episode of Krishna and Radha is one of the most enchanting one for devotees since it is illustrative of the highest form of bondage between the divine and human Though there are different accounts about Radhas story the most widely accepted one followsKrishna unfolded his divine plays on the soils of Vrindavan and was divinely alluring all the Gopas and Gopikas living there Enchanted by his divine beauty mesmerizing personality and supreme love the young and the old at Vrindavan were drawn towards him alike Krishna saved Vrindavan and all its inmates by killing the demons that attacked it at the behest of Kamsa who constantly lived in fear of Krishna and wanted to see that Krishna was dead leaving him to live peacefullyRadha lived in a village called Repalli that was a little away from Vrindavan Radha was five years elder to Krishna and Krishna took extreme delight in spending time with Radha as her devotion for Krishna was far beyond compare While the Gopas and Gopikas at Vrindavan pined to stay with Krishna Krishna would often escape away to Repalli in search of RadhaIt was the time for Krishna to move out from Vrindavan Kamsa had sent an invite to Krishna through Akrura to visit the palace Akrura had brought a chariot from Mathura the city where Kamsa lived to take Krishna and Balrama The news that Krishna would soon leave Vrindavan spread like a wild fire and a heavy cloud of grief hanged over the soils of VrindavanAll the Gopas and Gopikas surrounded the chairot brought by Akrura and spent the whole night sleeplessly around it so that Krishna would not leave and would choose to stay with them forever However Krishnas divine mission had to accomplish several great things further and therefore he had to leave them without a choiceKrishna left to Repalli to bid his farewell to Radha Radha was devoted to Krishna from her heart and due to constant thinking of him Krishna had in fact become inseparable from Radha having become one with her soul The both met there and just spent a few minutes without a word They knew each others heart and words had little meaning to convey their love for each otherRadha finally said that since Krishna had become her very soul nothing can take away Krishna from her even when he left her physically There was no much of emotions between them Krishna had made Radha know the purpose of her divine incarnation as that of demonstrating the power of true devotion and she was firmly committed to her mission in spirit Krishna silently left the scene and tactfully convinced the Gopas and Gopikas and together with Balrama left for Mathura with AkruraYears passed by Krishna had killed Kamsa and Sisupala and several other demons as part of his divine mission and had built a wonderful kingdom in Mathura which was transported overnight to Dwaraka amidst the sea in order to safeguard the inmates from demons Radhas life here in Vrindavan took an altogether different turn She was all the time living the life of contemplation thinking about Krishna She had no place for anything else in her life However being forced by her mother she had to marry a man and raise her childrenYears rolled by and Radha grew very old and weak She pined to see Krishna once more in her life She had by them completed her responsibilities of the householder and silently left Vrindavan in search of Krishna Walking by foot for several days she arrived at Dwaraka She pined to enter the palace and have the darshan of Lord Krishna Finally she got an audience with KrishnaEven after a lot of time had passed in between they needed no words to replenish their relationship They had been all the time together mentally and spiritually and therefore the scene appeared as though they had always been together Radha however showed a deep sense of longing now at the terminal point of her life to spend some time near the physical presence of KrishnaWith Krishnas permission she joined the service of the palace as a maid Except for Krishna and Radha none else knew them Though Radha got to see Krishna from far everyday in the palace the feeling of separation and distance from Krishna was only growing worse day by day She started realising that physical nearness was never something equal to spiritual nearness Therefore she chose to leave the palace without any notice Radha was already weak and fragile due to old age and a tough life she lived She walked on the roads without knowing where she was goingThe supreme Lord needed no invitation or information She was divinely following Radha all the time At this juncture when Radha needed him the most Krishna appeared in flesh and blood near her His divine touch brought her back to consciousness Radha smiled at Krishna and delightfully looked at his captivating divine form She knew that her stay on the earth was coming to and end and she had to leave for ever only to merge with KrishnaKrishna asked Radha what she wanted She just nodded her head indicating nothing Except his divine live But Krishna insisted that she asked for something since she had never asked anything so far from him Radha wanted to finally listen to Krishnas divine flute before she left her mortal coilsKrishna played the most melodious tune in his lute that was never played earlier and dedicated it to Radha Listening to the divine melody Radha divinely merged in Krishna Krishna decided that it was his final rendering of the flute and once for all dedicated the flute to his most beloved devotee Having played the tune he specially composed to accompany Radha on her final journey he broke the flute and threw it away forever in the bushes and disappeared from there for the palace
What if someone forces you to live all alone deep in a dense forest cut off from city life so much so that the city is barely audible or visible to you Can you imagine living in a downtrodden haunted palace with no water or electricity supply no doors and windows and no such thing as a human presence But someone does Prince Riaz and Princess Sakina descendants of the royal family of Oudh are silently living exactly under these conditions inside the daunting Shikaargarh in Delhi the Malcha MahalThey have until this day made no attempt to come out in the city and have human associations So much for social interaction the siblings have allowed outside people to talk to them only twice Yes two times in their entire life Based adjacent to the Earth Station in Delhi Malcha Mahal the dreaded Shikaargarh built by a Feroz Shah Tughlaq was declared haunted in the 14th century after which the government banned any human activity around itThe place was built with an idea to being completely cut off from the city deep in the dense forest and had been touted as the largest ever Shikaargarh built by emperors in the historyThe place is entirely uninhabited and surrounded by a thick jungle full of babul and keekar and the sole building with a signboard that reads ENTRY RESTRICTED CAUTIOUS OF HOUND DOGS PROCLAMATION INTRUDERS SHALL BE GUNDOWNAt present two descendants of the Oudh s royal family Prince Riaz and Princess Sakina are living a secret life inside Malcha Mahal They are children of Princess Wilayat Mahal the Begum of Oudh who was the granddaughter of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah of OudhAt the point when Nawab Wajid Ali ousted and his property was seized by Britishers Begum began to battle with the Indian Government for their property to have that back which is as of now formed into a pharma investigate focusMeanwhile her ongoing rebellion against Government was in full force she and her children shifted their residence from Oudh palace to a VIP lounge at Delhi s railway station for a really long period Finally the government had to surrender to her demands and in 1985 allotted them Malcha Mahal in Delhi This was without a doubt at the very least a spooky place for an individual loaded with reptiles snakes and other insects etcUnder the pressure of stress and torment Begum Wilayat Mahal chose to end her life and committed suicide by drinking squashed bits of her diamond in December 1993 She left behind her two wailing kids Prince Riaz and Princess Sakina a couple of Dobermans and some imperial fortuneIt is said that her body kept lying on her study table for ten days with her kids mourning by her corpse for days near to her body They even used to sleep and eat alongside the dead body until the night prior to burying her bodyQuite a few times after the news of Begum Wilayat s spread out theft attempts were made which also resulted in assaulting the children in the hunt for the imperial fortune The panicked children were compelled to dug out the grave of their mom and blaze her body before being vandalized The siblings have kept the fiery remains in a precious stone Vial where she was graven till the dateSeveral theft attempts were successful and thieves figured out the way to steal the expensive silver table some gold and silver flatware from the Mahal Since that incident the kids turned more aggressive thus decided to do away with water power entryways or even windows for which they might need assistance for repairmentThey have no association with the outside world Indeed even there is no kitchen in the royal residence Prince Riaz just regularly comes outside concealing his face for water and other essential conveniences frequently here infers to monthsPrince Riaz has been given a firearm and its permit to shoot in selfassurance by the Lt Legislative leader of Delhi since 1990 after they were assaulted Because of fear and torment the royal siblings haven t talked with anyone from the outside since yearsUntil now they have been surviving on the fortune which their mom has left for them which may have been vanished at this point Presently they have nobody to trust since they are sold out by their workers writers who misquoted them and government authorities who had broken their guaranteeTo this day they have given only two interviews They never let anybody inside the royal residence in the event that somebody does try to trespass they unleash their dogs on them It s a wild rumor that once somebody got the opportunity to meet Princess Sakina for a few minutes they described her as a face which is now covered in trenches dismal wild hair despite the fact that her English was perfectA few people call Malcha Mahal a spooky house yet the genuine apparition is the time that has put these royals in the thick backwoods without fundamental civilities since ages In one of the two interviews Prince said that he wishes to die before his sister after which Sakina would take her own life just in the manner their mother died by eating squashed diamond It was inquired as to whether she bites the dust first on which he answered I have not chose for that nowA few people have seen Prince now and again riding a cycle to get meat for their puppies The cycle was in absolute terrible condition A few watchmen of the earth station have guaranteed that they have not seen Sakina since years and questions on the off chance that she has apparently diedThey would prefer not to be irritated They are carrying on with a miserable and agonizing life where we anticipate that legislature will meddle and give them advising They have enough torment and torment these numerous years We wont need them to kick the bucket an obscure passing like their mom where individuals dont become more acquainted with about their demise

Spaces really intrigues me I have lived in all shapes and sizes of homes with small rooms and not so small rooms People say space defines a human being I wonder Does it really I would rather concentrate on the space within I have seen highly spiritual people live within a very tiny space And I have also seen people living in mansions whose inner space is very small and restricted Sometimes I think the larger the space within the less is the desire to acquire external space Because any space which is external would be limited as compared to our inner Akash Anyway its not as if the acquisition of a humongous amount of space would be put to good use It would probably be a constantly inflating ego that would occupy the large space and reside there indefinitely and sometimes permanently Whereas the deeper memories are of small homes filled with love and warmth a small kitchen with just two items cooked lovingly of dormitory style sleeping amidst giggles and much joy Of elders becoming like kids amidst kids And who also taught us the meaning of life in all its simplicity where people loved people and used thingsToday people are used and things are loved and times will change again and yet againSurekha KothariwwwBodyMindSoulCentrecomsurekhakothariwordpresscomSpeakingtree Blog wwwspeakingtreeinpublicsurekhakothari
When you look at a tree or the face of your neighbor or the face of your wife or husband and if you look with that quality of mind that is completely quiet then you will see something totally new Such silence of the mind is not something that can be attained through any practice if you practice a method you are still living within a very small space which thought has created as the 39me 39 the 39I39 practicing advancing That space is full of conflict full of its own achievements and failures and such a mind can never be quiet do what it will
Few years ago mostly in India our elders sketch to provide bathrooms or toilets at outside of our house still in more villages most of the villagers are not interested to construct the bathrooms at inside the house There is a good reason for their plan Because bathroom means dirt or dust cleaning room and toilet means discharging our digestion stuff So it should not be inside at house bad smell creates ill health problemsNow our living style is dissimilar and we dont have such liberty to provide bathrooms at outside We are constructing everything in one roof because of place problem we dont have more spacious area to built with all amenities We cannot expect the future may be our next generations may have to construct all in one room or 2 portions in one room also including all along with bathrooms It may happens please wait and watch Apartment life is very common for us But in some fast mounting cities only in one apartment flat there are 3 families in three bedrooms All together uses one kitchen by placing their utensils at each corner This system was very familiar in DubaiIs vastu applicable for this only one room Yes we must observe the entrance door and location of the toilet for it Let s discover some of the best Vastu tips for our Bathroom If the room is facing towards East then the bathroom has to be placed at Southeast or Northwest part If the room is North facing then the toilet or bathroom may be best suitable towards Northwest or Southeast also If the room is facing towards West direction then toilet or bathroom has to come towards Southeast If the room is facing towards South direction then the toilet may be placed towards Northwest directionBathrooms are placed at some corners like Agneya Southeast and Vayavya Northwest but we have to leave the Nairuthi Southwest and Eshan or Ishan Northeast corners here we have some principles how to leave space at Southwest or Northeast etcGenerally the Southwest toilet or bathroom may not provide good results to the residents so dont plan toilets at Southwest cornersAt South direction bathrooms flooring should have upper than the flooring at remaining house flooring except SouthwestAt West direction bathrooms flooring should have upper than the flooring at remaining house flooring except SouthwestAt East direction bathrooms flooring should have lower than the flooring at remaining house flooringAt North direction bathrooms flooring should have lower than the flooring at remaining house flooringAt East and North direction bathrooms if the flooring is elevated than the remaining part of the house then the used water may enter into the house so we have to placed or construct one small obstructive dais typeAt South and West side directions bathrooms the windows must be smaller in size is goodAt East and North side directions bathrooms the windows must be as bigger as possible check the privacy concerns at your endThe door must be at right place according to vastu shastraParticularly at Northwest and Southeast corners bathrooms we must have to take full care in placing the doors These doors must be placed at correct places according to vaastu shastra For example for the Southeast corner toilet the Northeastnorth or North door is so nice Or you may place Northwestwest door is also good For Northwest toilet the Northeasteast door is very good if not possible the second best is Southeastsouth is the ideal oneYou can place the bathroom at Eshan corner but you must have to take suggestion before placing at this corner from an experienced vastu consultant Usually experts do not recommend the toilets at Northeast corner some body may require only bathroom then by seeing all other things and come out from obstructions and objections then only may plan at Northeast on some circumstances In general Northeast toilet is not suggested by us Some times it may too harm to the entire homeFor any bathroom don t place the door to go outside if its very needed to you then after discussing with one good experienced vasthu consultant then only you may plan Please note that doors are playing a maximum vital role in vaasthu shastra Don t forget about doorsYou may not believe in these tips but fact of the matter is this is the best from Vastu Shastra I personally cannot rebuild my bathroom like this but one making new home can do this All the Best Share your feedback in comments section
EACH AND EVERYONE HAS TO HONESTLY CONTEMPLATE WHETHER WE WORK FOR FULFILLING OUR NECESSITIES OR WORK TO GATHER WEALTH THROUGH MATERIAL ACCUMULATION What does one need to be joyful can enmity and jealousy be the everyday theme of life or should there be peace and friendship for better relationship among Human Beings The present way of life for the large percentage of populace have become a burden to drag on the pressures and pulls of the fast paced information technological instrumentation and the ever growing demand of the youth to reach the riches and power centres has made the world a very untenable place to live in what one is experiencing is quite frightening the loss of lives due to the natural catastrophe like earthquakes tarnadoes hurricane and storms landslides etc on the one hand and the human wanton destruction through escalation of conflicts among themselves in quest for domination and occupation of regions On the whole the lives of the ordinary day to day workers have become a torment to live on women and children are the worst sufferers there is total anarchy in the name of fame and power the unnecessary turmoil of the Human Race a very sad state of affairs How can one see a ray of hope through the dust and din of the destructions and annihilation can any power bring in sanity and some sort of order for the majority of the masses a quiet solace to carry on with hope and security In general specially in India one talks about the personal life in a very different tone and nowadays talk about inner self for joy and happiness Quite a few have asked TO only one maintain inner peace one will be joyful and happy but everyday one has to face the outside world and people of different ideologies culture and practices what would the affect be if these forces are not in tune with anything else even if one is strong enough to bear what hurdles are there These issues therefore cannot be practiced in those region where there are turmoils and among the war torn regions what ever can be practiced can be done for the general masses where to a large degree peace prevails India is a wonder land of sorts unaccounted number of cultures innumerable Gurus and sages of all caste and creed name them and they appear faster than the 4G spectrum umpteen languages uncounted number of Gods and Goddesses varieties of food stuffs dress codes and designs from a loin cloth to the fully clothed or overclothed persona the ranges of the dress design need not cross to the other borders name it we have it all the 15000 odd years of human history and culture the temples specially the Ultimate powerful God THE SHIVA has established temples allover Asia and Europe and even in Latin America They are centuries old Our Mansarovar sitting pretty in Tibetan Mountain Range etc etc if one goes through the pages of history here in India Life was a Joy full of dancing and singing our temples stones are the proof of it the Rivers named after the Goddess and the Gods all were part of the Great Indian Evolution why have we forgotten the great past yes we have allowed various aggressors across the borders to invade the oldest culture change is the phenomena which has been accepted but that change has brought sadness and depression amidst poverty and want Lets relook into the great past once again and resow the seed of living in carefreeness and joyfulness The Sign of Good Living is not to have a bed made of the costliest materials but a bed that gives and puts one to sleep restfully and peacefully A tired body does not feel the surface on which it rests it is in Nature we rest and in Nature we Trust for in Nature we are born of and for it we live and enjoy of it Deep Sleep is Meditation in Motion the reunion of all forces unknown yet to many a being The good life is one of contentment of being a part of the creator within as well as without The body and the mind within is the greater glory to be preserved and enriched as and without the essence of Nature to balance the inside and the outside is the Law of Nature the hemisphere within as the hemisphere without the being for all that prevails in Nature are the elements of creativity and recreativity lest we forget that we are but a speck in the Universe of the COSMIC ORDER Good living in the present sense would be like going to a good school where the norms are understood and followed by one and all in unison but able to express and act in accordance with what is available and by utilizing the resources that are in tune with the growth pattern of thought and thinking that each Human Being rises above to reach the higher state of evolution to be part of the creation it is the Natural Space for one and all THE NATURAL SPACE IN THE UNIVERSE IS TO ALLOW EACH LIFE TO BLOOM FROM BIRTH IN THE NATURAL NORM AND FORM AS IS AVAILABLE AND EXPERIENCE THE PRESENCE OF BEING PART OF ALL THE ELEMENTS IMBIBING THE ENERGIES OF ALL THAT CAN ALIGN INTO THIS BODY FORM AND REACHING THE MENTAL STATE TO PUT THAT IN ORDER OF THE REQUIRED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS THIS IS THE STATE OF GOOD LIVING THE PURPOSE OF BIRTH AND DEATH IS PART OF THE LIVING PROCESS TO DEAL WITH WITHIN AND DEAL WITH WITHOUT THE PASSAGE OF THE YEARS OF EXISTENTIAL THEORY WILL DEEM THE NECESSITY OF THE ONE BEING THE PERPETUAL LIFE FORM FOR THE CHANGES AND EVOLUTION OF OUR SPECIES IN THE COSMOS EACH HUMAN MIND HAS BEEN PROVIDED THE ENERGY TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS OF NATURE AND ITS BINDING FORCE THAT REDEEMS THESE LAWS HAVE BECOME PART OF HISTORY BUT DUE TO THE FRAGMENTATION OF THE THOUGTH PROCESS AND INDULGENCE IIN THE SENSUAL PLEASURES OF THE UNWANTED BREED HAS CHANGED THE PERCEPTION THAT BEING INTO THE BEING ONE IS THIS STAGE OF FORMATION THE ETHOS AND THE ETHICS OF LIFE FORMATION HAS BEEN TRANSGRESSED FROM THE NATURAL SPACE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT OF MISTRUST AND DISBELIEF IN THE VERY NATURE THAT PROVIDED THIS LIFE AND ITS CONSTITUENTS PRPOPORTION WE THE HUMAN BEINGS HAVE TURNED THE EVOLUTION OF MANKIND TO THE PROCESS OF DISDAIN AND DESPAIR OF WHAT THE LIFE WE LIVE TODAY ANARCHY GREED ENMITY JEALOUSY DOMINATION AND DAMNATION OF ONES OWN BEING AS EMOTIONS HAVE DRIED UP IN THE CREATIVITY OF THE NATURAL FORM THE BREAKING AWAY OF THE EMOTIONAL STRANDS HAVE BECOME THE POSSESSIVENESS OF THAT CREATION AND EACH ONE WANTS TO HANG ON IN THE PERILS OF THE WANTS OF SELF ESTEEM THAT NEVER EXIST AHAM AMD AUM HAVE BEEEN MERGED AGAINST THE LAW IN FORCE THE STATE OF BEING HAS NOT RESPONDED IN ACCORDANCE That life has been created and each and every step taken by the child is an exercise of the Cosmic poses of the dance of Nature the Rainbow Affect in the Nature the colour seen through are the visions the Sky is an illusion to the eyes and as one grows up the norms change to force of the physical strength in animation to the performance of the being into productivity and the living as a being has to rise above to meet the requirements of that period a process of evolving into the higher plateau of being part of the larger Universe the spirit rises in unison to meet the radiation of the solar system the ever presence life giving source THE PURPOSE OF LIFE AND LIVING IN HARMONY WITH THE CREATOR FOR THE PROCESS OF THE ULTIMATE UNION WITH COSMIC ENERGIES PRESENT IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THAT BEING TO BE PART OF THAT CREATIVITY IN THE COSMIC REALITY A NATURAL SPACE TO LIFE FORMATION INCREASING THE EMOTIONAL CONTINUITY AND TO KKEP THE MOMEMTUM OF THAT EMOTIONAL SEED OF FORMATION TO PROCREATE MORE JOYUFUL LIVES TO ENJOY AND BE ECSTATIC LIFE IS THE PLANT OF THAT FALLEN SEED ON THE SOIL WHICH BECOMES A PLANT AND YIELDS EITHER FLOWER FRUITS NUTS OR WHATEVER IT IS DEEMED TO PRODUCE IN ACCORDANCE TO THE NATURAL INGREIDENTS AVAILABLE IN THAT PART OF THE SOIL TO GIVE THE UNIVERSE THE COLOURS FORMS ODOUR SCENARIOS FOR THE CREATIVITY TO PROGRESS AND RELISH THE COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS The uniqueness of the Human Form are the essential part of the Universe to create a being that can understand its own form and presence and to propagate the Reality of its own evolution from the elements that exists in its own possession To Human is the gift to use it TO MAKE A GOOD LIVING IN THE NATURAL SPACE AND INCREASE THE EMOTIONAL QUANTUM OF ITS OWN BEING IN UNISON AND THE VALUES THAT COMES AS THE COMPLIMENT WITH IT TO EMERGE AND MERGE IN THAT SEA OF THOUGHT PROCESS TO DISSOLVE INTO OBLIVION THE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS TO REACH OUT TO THE CREATOR FOR THAT IS THE JOY LIKE THE CHILD IN THE MOTHERS LAP FOR A PEACFUL SLEEP AN ETERNAL POSTURE OF EMPTINESS THE NATURAL SPACE IN

We are living on the edge It is an insane and rogue culture It is disturbing the very ethos and equilibrium of living It is leading to an extremely insensitive and brutal mindset It has engulfed all of us in its raging conflagration It is a holocaust obliterating the very contours that define a human organism the manifest God imagery What is the holocaust that raging conflagration It is Carnal orgasmic culture the culture embedded in Look and Appearance It is peripheral living We are living an orgasmic life and not a soulful life We have been given a body for physiological functioning like other living organisms The nature however has given only to humans a unique intelligence and a throbbing soul There must be purpose behind this wonderful gift It is given as an instrument to evolve from merely orgasmic living to a life of feeling and love values and ideals The evolution is our motto and our DharmaWe are in a culture which is obsessed with the outer looks and appearances A slim and muscular look defines our state and health This has given birth to a life style which is focussed in the configuration geometry and shape of the body overlooking the inner harmony and beauty That is why we look cosmetic without and chaotic within This goes contrary to the ideals of simple living and high thinking This peripheral body fitness culture is blocking vision to see and attend to inner priorities of evolution and enrichment This has led to a turbulent living living on the edge Just look at the role models of the youth of today That will give a perspective on the way we aspire to live on the planet You want to be a millionaire but not an iconic Vivekananda We follow Bollywood to define and prescribe our look symmetry and success Is it not a bankrupt psychology It is this bankruptcy that has given rise to chaos and confusion everywhere We will be in the quagmire until we change our focus and priorities in quest of a healthy and peaceful lifeThere are issues of illicit sex rapes and adultery What are the primary and fundamental for their ubiquitous presence and extrapolation It is not and cannot be a law and order problem It is rather a problem of contemporary culture a problem of orgasmic physical living It is a problem of living the level of base senses or Mooladhar in Kriya terminology We exist and operate from sensual level That is why we lack sensitivity depth and quality in living We are seeking mundane carnal pleasures for senses not knowing that the real and enduring ecstasy lies in the Core of us What is sutra for pink of health What is the mantra for living a life of fullness and wholeness It must start from defocus on the body oriented orgasmic culture a culture with a bias on skin colour slim and six abs pack philosophy The life will then move from the periphery towards the core There must be equilibrium and harmony in body mind and Soul The living which is disproportionately oriented to look and appearances is leading to many personal and social problems Scriptures say that such kind of living is living in darkness A soulful life is life of light peace and happiness Then and then only will be a paradigm shift in collective social consciousness leading to social harmony and collective freedom

Every day we hear the sounds of living all around us From early morning we hear birds calling out to each other The whistling bird Malabar whistling thrush is back again For the past one week we have been hearing its beautiful whistling Long back people must have heard it and tried to imitate it and have succeeded But we in our arrogance call its whistling as so human The little Bulbul is searching places to build its nest It thought a place inside the room ideal and kept coming with leaves and sticks but we had to shoo it out The consequences of building a nest inside would have been tragic for the little birds There is this beautiful big tree outside our house which has yellow flowers When in full bloom it looks like a huge yellow bouquet This year during the monsoon season we had heavy rains and winds One morning we heard a loud crack and we saw that one big branch had fallen across the road Then some other branches had to be cut down as there was the danger of their falling on the electric wires The poor tree looked like a skeleton of itself About two weeks ago we saw the branches slowly turning green and now they are enveloped in a blanket of green So much of living makes everything so much more preciousOne of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows todayDale Carnegie
The amazing similarities between the Hindu and Greek mythologies frequently crops up in comparative mythology or the comparison of myths from different cultures in an attempt to identify shared themes and characteristics In Hindu mythology the constant fight is between good and evil the good represented by the devas the gods and the evil represented by the asuras the demons The asuras are the chief tormentors of the devasSimilarly Greek mythology is all about the Celtic gods of life and light who wage a constant struggle against the Fomorians ancient gods of death and darkness In the Greek myth of the Titanomachy the Olympian gods defeat the Titans an older and more primitive divine race to establish cosmic order The Gods of Mount Olympus represents good while their antitheses are the Titans representing evilAn interesting fact is that in both these mythologies both good and evil are fathered by the same person In Hinduism the Devas and the Asuras are both supposed to have been fathered by Rishi KashyapIn the same way the Olympian Gods and the Titans were both fathered by KronosIn Hindu mythology King Kamsa of Mathura is foretold that the eighth son of his sister Devaki will kill him hearing which King Kamsa not only imprisons both Devaki and her husband Vasudeva he also goes about systematically killing all new babies born to his sister till the eighth Bhagwan Krishna is born Devaki and Vasudeva help each the baby to safety A grownup Krishna comes back to kill his uncle KamsaIn similar fashion Kronos becomes aware of a prophecy that he will be overthrown by one of his children In order to avert this fate he begins to swallow each one of his children as soon as they are born When the sixth child Zeus is born Rhea Kronos wife devises a plan to save the baby with the help of Kronos mother Gaia Rhea secretly gives birth to Zeus and arranges for him to be brought up in exile Later a grownup Zeus comes back to take care of Kronos Hinduism has its three Supreme Gods Brahma the Creator Vishnu the Protector and Shiva the Destroyer Likewise the supreme gods of Greek mythology are also three Zeus The Lord of the Skies Poseidon The Lord of the Seas and Hades The Lord of the Underworld The Rig Veda proclaims Indra as Hindu God of thunder who rides a grand chariot and lives on Mount Meru in Swarga He uses the thunderbolt as his weapon to create rain He is prayed to on Thursdays Likewise Zeus is the Greek God of Thunder the dwelling place of Zeus is Mount Olympus home of other Greek Gods as well Zeus is also worshipped on ThursdaysHindus have a goddess of wealth and prosperity and she is Lakshmi Hera is the Greek goddess of wealth and prosperity The Hindus have a dedicated goddess of learning and that is Ma Saraswati She is the one who is considered as blessing all cultural and artistic fields Similarly the Greeks have a goddess of wisdom who is Athena She is seen as the one presiding over all art forms Hindus have a God presiding over death and afterlife and hes known as YamaThe Greeks too have a God of the Underworld and hes Hades Varuna is the name of the Hindu god of the oceans Poseidon is the name of the Greek god of the ocean and in both cultures they protect sea lifeVishwakarma is the Hindu god of workmanship and therefore rules tools and manufacturingThe Greeks are not far behind Haphaestus is their God of design and manufacture In both cultures the gods are shown carrying weapons Hindus god of war is Kartik Shivas son who rides a peacock and holds a weapon a spear in hand The Greeks god of war is Ares and he carries the same weapon a spear Mahakal or Mahakaleshwar a name for Shiva is said to rule time and space in Hindu mythology Kronos Greek god of many things is also the god of destruction Hindu philosophy has it that Kaliyuga began with Lord Krishnas death by a mislaid arrow shot by a hunterIn Greek mythology too there is a famous scene where a character Achilles was killed by an arrow that pierced his foot Thus the genesis of the phrase Achilles Heel to denote a weak spot in anyone Achilles was a great fighter who was washed with the waters of the river Styx to become invincible His mother Thetis held him by his heel and dipped him into the river Thus that portion of his heel was not washed by the waters of the magical river and remained vulnerable proving to be the cause of his death by a poisonous arrow that lodged in his heel King Kamsa sent Putana to breastfeed baby Krishna with poisonous milk However the divine baby soon sucked the life out of the demonessWhen Hercules was born Zeus tricked Hera into nursing the infant But discovering who the baby was Hera tried to make amends by quickly pulling him away from her breast Mythology says her milk formed a smear across the sky that can be seen to this day and known as The Milky Way In Hindu mythology Kaliya was the name of a poisonous snake or naga living in the Yamuna river near Vrindavan The water of the Yamuna became poisonous because of the snake No bird or beast would go near it and just one solitary Kadamba tree grew on the riverbank When Krishna playfully swung down a branch of the Kadamba tree he fell into the river Kaliya immediately rose up with his numerous hoods but a fearless Krishna jumped on top of Kaliyas head and danced the dance being known as Kaliya MardanaIn striking similarity in Greek mythology Hera sent two serpents to kill baby Hercules as he lay in his cot However the baby simply throttled one snake after another playing with their limp bodies as if they were toys According to the epic Mahabharata the stars of the Big Dipper were the seven sages or rishis These seven sages are said to be those who made the Sun rise and shine They were happily married to seven sisters named Krittika They all originally lived together in the northern sky According to the ancient Greeks the Pleiades were seven sisters In Greek the word pleiades means doves Their parents were Pleione and Atlas the latter condemned by Zeus to support the Heavens on his shoulders One day the Pleiades were traveling with their mother and met the hunter Orion Orion fell in love with Pleione and her charming daughters He spent a great deal of time trying to win their affection After several years Zeus intervened and transformed the women into doves to help them escape They flew into the sky to become the cluster of stars that today has their name However only six stars are visible in the sky without a telescope The ancient Greeks explained the absence of a seventh star with several different stories According to one story one of the Pleiades Merope deserted her sisters because she was ashamed of having a mortal husband who also happened to be a criminal There are three main Hindu goddesses Durga Lakshmi and Saraswati The Greek goddesses also number three Hera Hestia and DemeterThe Lanka Yudh happened because a man abducted another mans wife The famous Greek Trojan War too started when a Prince abducted a Princess from another nation Hasnt this been a beautiful journey Two cultures so different from each other but coming up with a strikingly similar smorgasbord of legends and charactersare they trying to tell us the same story
