One of the most common Hindu rituals is a yagna fire.Devotees sit in a circle around the sacred fire and place offerings into the flames.With each offering, after each mantra, the priest chants, idam namamah.

This article was published in The Speaking Tree, here. There is a beautiful saying which is used frequently by those who spend time in the forests and woods:“Take only memories and leave only foot-prints.”The Earth is here to sustain our life,not for us to extinguish her.Yet, through the way we are polluting the air, the water and the ground that is exactly what we are doing. Everything we use which is not biodegradable — each item,each piece of packaging,each container,each garment — will someday end up taking precious space in our...

Meditation is the best medication for all agitations. People have so many troubles today, mainly related to the stress in their lives. To address this anxiety, sleeplessness and discontent, people take pills and fill their lives with excessive, material “pleasures”. For example, when people feel stressed they frequently attempt to forget about it by going to the movies,...

Articles, English
by Admin
