The most important invention in your lifetime is…
Life is magical transformation.
1. Putting a tilak :
The tilak, a significant symbol in Hindu Sanatan Dharma, originates from the Sanskrit word “til,” which signifies sesame seed. Sesame seeds hold immense significance in yagnas (sacred rituals) and acts of charity. The application of a tilak on the forehead is based on the belief that it is a focal point through which one can connect with Divinity, thereby augmenting an individual’s spiritual nature.
The location where the mark is traditionally applied is known as the Ajna Chakra, situated between the eyebrows. Within Hinduism, this point is widely regarded as the entry and exit point of the atman. From a scientific perspective, the Ajna Chakra area is often recognized as the center for thinking, concentration, and memory. It is also the region that tends to heat up during times of stress and tension. By applying the tilak, typically using Chandan (sandalwood paste), a cooling effect is achieved, thereby facilitating concentration.
2. Taking Agni Snan :
Agni means fire, Agnidev is the twin brother of Indra & has 2 faces. In Rigveda, Agnidev is considered the mouth of every deity. Agni also known as Pavaka, means whatever enters in fire becomes pure. Agni snan doesn’t mean taking a real bath with fire. Agni Snan is a way to clean your aura just like a jal snan (normal bath). This can remove all the negativity within you. It was a very prominent practice in ancient days. Today, for many Agni snan refers to practicing sati. However, this process is just like doing arti of one’s body (from head to toe) using camphor. This should be followed just after taking a normal bath and one needs to wear very light clothes. The after-effects are magical. It really works great with the concentration.
3. Burning up the camphor :
According to Hindu belief, the burning of camphor is the process to clean the environment before praying to gods & goddesses. Burning camphor gives light & aroma, both linked with spirituality. Camphor burns itself out completely without leaving any residual. It represents our Vasanas (ego, lust, greed). The burning of camphor also signifies oneness with God & spreading the light of knowledge.
Scientifically speaking camphor helps in killing germs. It is also an excellent way to purify the air in the surroundings of your home. Burning camphor regularly is an effective way to kill germs from our household.
Apart from this, camphor has a properties of antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory & hence it is used to to treat skin conditions, improve respiratory function, and for pain relief. Try burning it everyday twice a day, in your study room or office and in three days you will see the difference.
4. Doing Dhyan Yoga :
Okay, hold a piece of a paper in your fully stretched hand. Your hand will start paining in just few minutes and that tiny piece of paper will feel like a 5 kg of dumbbell. If our hand can’t hold a tiny piece of paper even for few minutes then imagine the condition of our brain which keep working even in our sleep times. Dhyan yoga can do a lot of good stuff but the first thing it does is relaxing our brain. It will increase your concentration and help you cope with any given situation.
5. Chanting 15 chapter of Bhagavad Gita :
Bhagavad Gita is called as the eternal source of knowledge as it has the essence of all four Veda. Trust me you will get to know a lot of things and will be able to solve any problem in your life. it also teaches the science of yoga, leading a healthy life.
6. Stay connected with postive energy station :
A temple that adheres to scriptural guidelines in the worship of deities provides a more conducive environment for spiritual progress. Such temples maintain a clean and spiritual atmosphere since their sole purpose is to facilitate deity worship and other spiritual activities. It is worth noting that in an advanced stage of devotion, when our hearts are filled with deep reverence, we may experience the sanctity pervading everywhere and perceive the presence of our worshipable god and goddesses in all places.
However, this elevated state of perception is not common among ordinary individuals but attained by those who have reached a highly elevated stage of spiritual advancement. If you do go to a temple, it elevates your consciousness and brings you closer to attaining self realization. If it is impractical to go daily make it a weekly or other suitable periodical visit.
7. Science of mantras :
Chanting any mantra regularly can do magics in your life. Chant any mantra you know, but do it regularly. Chanting mantra is one of the easiest way to connect yourself with universe. The best part is, it will keep you happy and in joyful state even in the era of depression and overthinking. Like Gayatri Mantra, mahamrityunjay Mantra, Shanti Mantra etc
8. Take care of a Maa prakrtuit :
Worshiping nature is one of the main teachings of Hinduism. Giving water to plants, feeding cows, birds can protect you from your past life bad karma.
How to keep your thinking positive?
When a person has to face failure in life, the thought comes to his mind that I cannot do this because I am not destined to do this. This is the main reason for his failure. This thinking makes a person a victim of negativity and he tries to tell himself right by blaming his failure on others. By doing this, the person spoils the relationship with other people and invites his misfortune unknowingly. Instead of taking failure as an experience, the person becomes depressed and in the event of success, the person feels equally excited and proud of himself. In both cases, he does not surrender to God and forgets to thank Him Whatever success and failure we achieve in life, behind it is our accumulated karma along with our ability and confidence. Due to our accumulated virtuous deeds, only a few of our efforts convert into success, but at the same time, our bad deeds attract failure towards us. We forget that success and failure come for a moment which gives us some experience. Our hard work and our positive thinking help us to understand our shortcomings, after which we can improve them and shape our future. To concentrate on this positive emotion and goal, we should adopt meditation and sadhana in our daily lives.
Spirituality is beyond science
