  • Can a person buy peace?

    January 14th, 2024

    Many times one has to give up worldly attachments for real peace of mind and real satisfaction of mind.  Omen is not something available in the market which we can buy.  Through Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta, he not only solved all the doubts and problems of Arjun, but also showed the human being the right direction to live life.  The teachings given by Lord Krishna to Arjun during the Mahabharata war still serve as life management for the entire people.  In its 18 chapters you will find the solution to all your problems and the way to fulfill your wishes.  Whether the problem is mental, social or practical, in Geeta Krishna teaches Arjun that the events of birth and death are nothing more than the soul shedding its old clothes and wearing new clothes.  Since the soul is the only eternal element in the world, whatever we acquire is stored with us only due to external reasons and can also be taken away from us due to other external reasons.  Geeta tells us the causes of suffering and shows us the direction to get rid of them.

    What is the cause of suffering in the world?

    If we look at the Bhagavad Gita, we find that the main reason for the suffering in the world is our ignorance about the nature of the soul.  We become afraid at the thought of the death of our relatives.  Whatever we have earned or received, even the doubt of loss of it never allows our consciousness to be completely free. There is suffering in the world, this is the noble truth according to Buddhist philosophy.  The second noble truth will also be the cause of suffering.  Third, if there is a reason for sadness, it will also be resolved.  The fourth noble truth is that if there is a solution to suffering then there is definitely a way to end it.  But according to Buddhist philosophy, one’s suffering will be resolved through one’s own diligence and hard work.  But the incompatibility between suffering and divine existence appears inevitable.  The concepts of him being omnipotent, omniscient and compassionate are inherent in the concept of God itself.  If this is so then he cannot be unaware of our sufferings.  But despite having knowledge, it is impossible for him not to solve them.  When God has the solution to solve human suffering, then why is life so painful in this world?  Worldly suffering is not due to God but due to our own ignorance and ignorance.  And its solution also lies in developing virtues in ourselves through our own hard work.

    How should a man’s actions be?

    It is mentioned in Geeta that according to Shri Krishna, love is the basis of human life.  Only the person who has love in his life can find peace in life because peace lies in love only.  It is said that if there is no love in life, even if a person achieves everything, he still does not get satisfaction. According to Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta, the main reason for the problems in any person’s life is wrong thinking.  It has been described in Geeta that wrong thinking is considered to be the single biggest problem in life.  And correct knowledge is considered to be the only solution to all the difficulties of every person.  In this context, Shri Krishna says that a person should not always trust his mind because it deceives man again and again.  Therefore, apart from the mind, a person should always remain focused on his work.  This is the ultimate duty of everyone.  The downfall of a person whose mind harbors too much ego, jealousy and hatred is certain.  It is said in Geeta that all these instincts stick to the human being like termites and gradually make the human being hollow from within. It is said that the intellect is beyond the senses, the mind is beyond the intellect and consciousness is superior to the mind i.e.  There is soul.  According to Geeta, no work can be done without soul.  Therefore the soul is considered a participant in every action.  Therefore the deeds should be kept high.

    Do desires cause suffering?

    Shri Krishna has said in Geeta that human body is the field where war takes place.  There are two armies in it, one Pandava i.e. virtuous and one Kaurava i.e. sinful.  Therefore, man always remains entangled between the two and is never able to achieve peace in life.  The greatest sorrow of human life occurs when he has no desire to live.  Desire leads to sorrow and truth leads to happiness.  No one understands or follows this.  This is the biggest sorrow.  Desire and ignorance are the roots of suffering.  Desire refers to the longing for pleasure, material goods, and immortality, all of which are desires that can never be satisfied. As a result, desiring them can only bring suffering.  If a person wants peace in life then it is not something that can be bought.  A person can achieve peace in his life by reducing his cravings.  Excess of anything destroys our peace.  Like the desire to earn a lot of money, like the desire to get a lot of respect and prestige, like the desire to desire all the material resources of the world, all this becomes the cause of our sorrow.  And if all these are not fulfilled by ourselves, we become deeply disappointed.  This disappointment is the cause of our sorrows.  Therefore, a person should be satisfied with whatever he gets.  No matter how hard a person tries, he can never achieve more than luck.  So stay satisfied and be happy.

  • Is it in your hands to change destiny?

    January 14th, 2024

    The scriptures say that fate is very powerful, but fate can be changed through effort. That means there is a need to maintain coordination between medicine and prayer. If both the inner light and the outer light work, then the matter is resolved. Eyes work when there is light in the eyes and light outside. Even if the sun is out outside, but there is no light in the eyes, there is darkness. Still, it was said that leave no stone unturned from your side. Whenever a person contacts an astrologer and gets his horoscope analyzed, the astrologer tells him different remedies according to each planet, which needs to be done for every person. Impossible. Every second person among us wants the answer to this question, how to change destiny?

    What to do to change luck?

    It is said in Bhagwat Mahapuran that, if you want your luck to flourish, luck to become good fortune then adopt six things. This message of this holy book is very amazing, adopt it in your life. The first thing is effort. Make continuous efforts and do not shy away from work. It is not enough just by joining hands, effort is also necessary. Hands should remain folded, head should remain bowed, but hands should keep moving towards effort. The second thing is courage. One should never lose courage, one should always maintain courage. There are problems in life at every step, do not sit disappointed, face the problems with courage. Only the one who overcomes the problem will be able to move forward and face every challenge. Lord Shri Krishna said that one has to be awake in life, not run away. Transform sadness into happiness, cowardice into bravery. A brave man attains martyrdom by dying once, a coward dies a thousand times a day. If you have courage within you, no matter how powerful it is, it cannot suppress you. For the person who is sleeping in laziness, it is Kaliyuga, for the one who started taking part, it is Dwapar Yuga, for the one who got up and stood up, it is Tretayuga, and for the one who got engaged in work, Satyuga has started. And his luck changed to good fortune.
    And he achieved his goal.

    Who writes our destiny?

    Many people say that fate is written by God, while some people say that fate is decided by the planets and constellations. But man writes his own destiny, he can change his destiny through his hard work and honesty and can do things. There are many beliefs and beliefs about planets, constellations and destiny. Some people believe that destiny is created by God, some people believe that the planets and stars decide our destiny, while some say that destiny is created on the basis of the deeds done by us. Man does auspicious and auspicious deeds, God gives man results according to his deeds and planets and stars are the medium to give information about the results of his deeds. Man writes his own destiny and achieves his destination.





    How is a person’s destiny formed?

    Man is the creator of his own destiny, the calculations of astrology provide information about a person’s destiny and happiness and sorrow. If seen, whatever actions a person has done in the past, sooner or later he gets the result in the form of fate, that is, the fate of any person can be said to be the result of the deeds done by him earlier. Every human being You are helpless in the hands of your destiny, and the pen of destiny is in the hands of the creator. This pen of God which determines man’s fate is determined by man’s own actions. Change in destiny can be brought only through karma, the combined result of both the karma of the previous birth and the karma of this birth is called destiny. If it is written that suffering is a result of the deeds of the previous birth, then suffering can be reduced in this birth by doing charity, charity, remedy, worshiping God and other auspicious deeds. Inauspicious results cannot be completely eliminated, but their direction can be changed by taking certain measures. By doing right action in right direction, destiny starts changing, we just need to know the way, right way, right method, right time to do right action. Will power and determination can transform a person from a pauper to a king, and an ignorant person can become a great person. Therefore, if you want to change your destiny, then first of all strengthen your will power and determination and work in the right direction under the guidance of a qualified Guru, you will definitely get success. Life can definitely be changed through strong will power and determination. Future events are created by collecting the fruits of past good and bad deeds, every person writes his own destiny through his own deeds. According to Karma theory and beliefs, the cycle of karma and destiny is not limited to one birth, rebirth is a part of it,

    The sure shot way to change your destiny?

    The surest way to change destiny is devotion to God. Devotion does not just mean chanting the name and going to the temple. Devotion also means stimulating one’s emotions for one’s own sake. All the comforts, resources and relationships of the outside world do not always stay with us. But our own feelings always remain with us. For example, when you awaken within yourself the desire to get something, then your will power becomes so strong that you snatch that thing from the entire universe. Similarly, if you want your destiny to change, then the entire universe will follow your will power. All that is needed is determination and prayer. Prayer has so much power that it has the ability to change everything.

  • Why do only women have periods?

    January 12th, 2024

    Menstruation is a basic process in women. This natural action gives her the status of a woman in the society. It would not be wrong to say that the responsibility of human existence depends on this. There is no doubt that this universe was created by a woman. That is why God has made woman different from man. Men consider themselves capable in every field. But in today’s era, women are also keeping pace with men. The qualities that women possess, such as tolerance, kindness, sympathy, affection and the ability to lead in every field. A man can never have all these qualities. In ancient times, women used to be very worried and stressed about periods. But nowadays women are considering this as a physical change and are moving forward in every field.

    According to Purana, why do women have periods?

    According to the Purana, once ‘Jupiter’, who was the guru of the gods, once became very angry with the king of gods, Indra. Meanwhile, demons attacked Devlok and Indra had to leave Indralok. Then Indra reached Brahmaji and asked for his help. Then Brahma ji said, Indra Dev, you should serve a Brahma-knowledgeable person, in such a situation your sorrow will be solved. Then Indra started serving a Brahma-knowledgeable person. But he was unaware that the mother of that Brahma-gyani was a demon. Mother had a special attachment towards demons. In such a situation, all the havan material offered by Lord Indra to the gods was offered to the Brahma-knowledgeable demons. Due to this, Indra’s service was disrupted. When Indra came to know about this, he became very angry. He murdered that Brahma-gyani. Before committing the murder, Indra considered that Brahma-gyani as his Guru and killing a Guru is a grave sin. For this reason, he also became guilty of Brahmahatya. This sin started following him in the form of a terrible demon. Somehow Indra hid himself in a flower and continued doing penance to Lord Vishnu in it for many years. Lord Vishnu was pleased and saved Indra from the crime of killing Brahma. He gave a suggestion for salvation from this sin. As per the suggestion, Indra convinced the tree, water, land and woman to give up a little portion of his sin. After listening to Indra, he agreed. Indra asked to give each of them a boon.

    First of all, the tree took one-fourth of the sin of Brahmahatya, in return for which Indra gave the tree a boon of coming alive on its own. After this, water took one-fourth share and Indra gave a boon to water that it would have the power to purify other things. In the third stage, the land took the blame of Brahma’s murder from Indra. In return, Indra gave a boon to the land that the water would have the power to purify other things. Any subsequent injuries will not affect her and she will be fine again. At last only the woman was left. The woman took the blame for Indra killing Brahma. In return, Indra gave a boon to the woman that women would menstruate every month. But women will be able to enjoy work many times more than men. According to mythological beliefs, women have been suffering the sin of killing Brahma i.e. killing their Guru for centuries. Therefore they are not allowed to go to their gurus in temples. It is believed that from then onwards menstruation started in women. In the modern era, people who follow scientific beliefs do not take these things seriously.

    Is it because of periods that women’s mind becomes sharp?

    There is another big difference in the way the brains of men and women work. A part of men’s brain works while doing any work. Whereas in women both parts of the brain work. The way the right or left side of the brain works is related to the hand. For example, if someone uses his right hand, then the knowledge of language is in the left part of his brain. But the structure of women’s brain is even different. According to research, when estrogen and progesterone hormones are released in women, only then both parts of their brain work more rapidly. This brings flexibility in the thinking ability of women. And the right part of the brain starts working at a faster pace. It has been observed that people whose right side of the brain works more solve mathematics problems faster. Monthly changes in the body affect the way the brain works. These changes in women are positive.

    From a scientific point of view, menstruation is the bleeding caused by the breakdown of the endometrium, the inner surface of the uterus. To conceive, it is necessary for this process to be normal and this process also plays an important role in hormonal control in the body. There is no scientific basis for imposing various restrictions on women during menstruation. It is a traditional belief in various religions and cultures that during this period the woman should be kept away from the normal household work. But it is part of cultural and religious tradition. There is no fact or answer about this in science.

  • Why do women sit on the left in Yagya?

    January 9th, 2024

    Performing Yagya is an eternal tradition. According to scientific facts, the disease causing germs around the place where Havan is performed are destroyed quickly. In the scriptures, Agni Dev has been considered a medium for the welfare of the world, which is reflected in the Homa given by us. The offerings are made to the Gods and Goddesses. Due to which the gods are satisfied and complete the work of the doer.

    There are many beliefs regarding worship in Hindu religion. For example, if husband and wife are worshiping, then they should worship as a pair. If both of them worship together then it can be more beneficial. Apart from this, the position and direction of sitting during puja also has great importance. According to a popular belief in Hindu religion, the wife is always advised to sit on the right side of the husband during the puja. Generally, in any ritual the wife sits on the left side of her husband. If we talk about the scriptures, the wife is considered the husband’s better half and his beloved. It is believed that women originated from the left side of Lord Shiva and the place of Mother Parvati is also on his left side. For this reason, in rituals like marriage, the wife always sits on the left side of the husband. But when we talk about the wife sitting during worship, astrology always advises her to sit on the right side of her husband.

    During religious activities and worship, the question often arises as to which side of the husband the wife should sit. Is it appropriate to sit on the right or left side of the husband? Due to lack of information, one often does not get the full results of worship due to sitting on the wrong side. In the scriptures, the wife has been called Vamangi, which means possessor of the left body part. Therefore the left part of a man’s body is considered to be that of a woman. It is said in the scriptures that a woman is a man’s lover, therefore, while sleeping, in a meeting, donating vermilion, going to Dwiraag, receiving blessings and while eating, the woman should remain on the left side of the husband. This would yield auspicious results. But despite being selfish, the scriptures say that a woman should remain on the right side in some tasks. It is said in the scriptures that at the time of Kanyadaan, marriage, Yajnakarma, Jaatkarma, Namkaran and Annaprashan, the wife should sit on the right side of the husband. The logic behind this belief is that in worldly activities, the wife sits on the left side of the husband. Because this work is considered a feminine work. Yagya, Kanyadaan, marriage, all these works are considered transcendental and are considered male dominated. Therefore, in these rituals, there is a rule to sit on the right side of the wife. Therefore, if you do the work by sitting in the direction prescribed for the work, then you will get the full results of the puja.

    Even during any havan or religious ritual, women alone do not become the main host. It is considered mandatory for her husband to be with her. This is prohibited in the scriptures. At the time of creation, both men and women were created together and at the same time. There is no difference between the two. A husband is incomplete without his wife. She neither has the right to perform Yagya alone nor to offer sacrifices. The wife is one half of the husband’s body. The essence of both the words is the same. According to which a husband is incomplete without his wife. It is the wife who completes her husband’s life. Provides him with happiness. Takes care of her family. And gives him all the happiness that he deserves. The relationship between husband and wife has been said to be very important all over the world. No matter what the society is like. No matter how modern people become, the form of husband-wife relationship remains the same. Made of love and mutual understanding.

  • Is breaking glass inauspicious?

    January 8th, 2024

    Breaking of glass is considered both auspicious and inauspicious. Breaking of glass on an auspicious occasion is a bad omen. At the same time, breaking of glass also indicates an auspicious event. In Indian tradition, breaking of glass has always been considered inauspicious, and has been associated with the sign of some terrible event. If a mirror breaks in your house, it is considered auspicious. If you accidentally break a glass, it is believed that evil is leaving your house and good luck is about to come. This means that the glass takes upon itself the misfortune that befalls you and it breaks, saving you. But the coming calamity is averted.

    According to Vastu Shastra, if any glass item or mirror kept in the house suddenly breaks, it is considered an auspicious sign. Broken glass indicates that the coming crisis has now been averted and your family is now completely safe. The breaking of the mirror indicates that some old reason for dispute at home is about to end. According to Vastu, after glass breaks, it should be thrown out of the house immediately. There is a belief that breaking of glass means breaking of the troubles coming upon us. Broken glass is often seen as an omen of good luck. Broken glass is often a sign of release or freedom, and is likewise often a sign of good things coming your way.

    It is believed that by keeping broken glass in the house, positive energy goes out of the house and negative forces start entering the house. Broken glass kept in the house brings with it many problems. If glass suddenly breaks in the house, it should be quietly thrown out of the house. People have different opinions regarding breaking glass. Some people believe that if a glass, mirror or any glass object breaks on an auspicious occasion, it is a very bad omen. While some people believe that breaking of glass is auspicious and indicates some good news. If the glass of the window or door of the house breaks or there is a crack in it, then it is not considered a bad omen but it is auspicious. Such an incident indicates that you may get good news or arrival of money.

    Once the glass is broken, it should be immediately removed from the house and thrown out. Many times it happens that people throw broken glass pieces in some corner of the house. Doing so can be harmful because there is negative energy inside the broken glass piece. Therefore, throw it out of your house as soon as possible.


    Many people say that when a mirror suddenly breaks in the house, it not only brings trouble but also makes the person financially weak. If you keep that broken glass piece in your house, your financial condition will start deteriorating further. You will start incurring continuous losses in business. Due to breaking of glass, relationships between family members get spoiled. There seems to be a stressful environment all the time. Fights start happening between them over small issues. This problem takes a terrible form in those houses where all the people live together. People forget their mutual brotherhood and become jealous of each other. If a mirror breaks, it also indicates that someone is going to die. You may hear the news of the death of someone from your relative or family. Apart from this, someone in the house may also suffer from serious illness. Broken glass never brings with it a good message. Glass is not only used to see one’s reflection but nowadays most glass utensils are also used for eating food. Due to modernization taking place in the society, people now prefer to eat in glass utensils only. Sometimes when a plate or other utensil gets slightly broken, people think that we can use it now because it is only slightly broken, whereas it is completely wrong to do so. Broken glass carries household troubles, so whether it is slightly broken or completely broken, it should be immediately removed from your house and thrown in the dustbin.
