Quote from
the True charm and power of Vedanta
Spiritual
healing , Healing of body and mind
We must
lose all self –consciousness in the great thought that we are instrument of
God, we must feel that our body must be kept clean and holy as a shrine for the
dwelling place of Divinity if we keep uppermost in our mind these higher
concepts of life, we shall refrain from doing what is ignoble . do we wish to
be strong do we wish to be happy? If we do then we must plant the seeds of
constructive thought in our hearts ., we must remember constantly that no
matter what happens on the physical plane , there is a dominant ruler within,
the spirit, and that Spirit can never be vanquished . when we are able to take
this stand we can overcome every obstacle.
Why do people become selfish? Why are they guilty of unworthy acts which harm others ? it is because they have lost this lofty point of view. Their whole life is centered in their flesh, in sensation , in immediate bodily concerns. But let them extend their vision, let them project their thought beyond more physical boundary lines, and a new inner consciousness will dawn in them . their body may still have its limitations , their material surroundings may continue to be disturbing , in spite of all this they will not be moved from the state of tranquility they have found, . this is only possible when we bring spiritual consciousness into our life . when we feel that we are direct descendants of the Infinite, when this convictions is firmly established in our hearts then are we made whole. It is the life which brings healing , it is entering into the inner realm of consciousness where we are restored naturally. When our thought is filled with Spirit, all must be well with us, because where Spirit shines unobstructed , there is life there can be no sickness or suffering.
‘The
name is Bharat’
Editorial

What is
the meaning of the word ‘Hindu’? When did Hinduism originate and who is the
founder of this religion? I would also like to know when did we start referring
to our motherland as India and not Bharat?

Hinduism is one of the world’s oldest religions dating back to somewhere around
5,000 BC. There is reference to the word ‘Hindu’ by the Aryans. The term
‘Hindu’ in Vedic records did not refer to a religion but is mentioned as the nationality of the
people who lived in the region. At that time, the ancient name of Hindu
religion was Sanatan Dharma, an eternal or universal tradition referring to
learning the right way of living life
.
It is
believed that the word ‘Hindu’ comes from the first letter ‘H’ of the Himalayas
and the last words ‘indu’ from the Sindhu River. According to the Nadistuti
Sukta, a hymn in the Rig Veda, Sindhu River, also known as the Indus River, is
addressed as the mightiest of rivers. The river is also one of the longest in
Asia, originating from the Manasarovar Lake and running through Ladakh all the
way through the entire length of Pakistan. There are many beliefs behind the
origin of the term ‘Hindu’.It is believed that in the Zoroastrian holy book,
the Avesta, the word ‘Hindu’ was used for the first time as a geographical term
for people who lived beyond the Indus River. The Persians could not pronounce
the letter ‘S’correctly and mispronounced it as ‘H’. Thus, for the ancient
Persians, the word ‘Sindhu’ became Hindu. Even today, people from the Sindh
province in Pakistan are called Sindhis or Sindhus.
Hiuen
Tsang, a Chinese Buddhist monk, who travelled to India from China in the
seventh century, agreed that Hinduism was widely popular in India at that time.
The Indus or Sindhu Valley civilisation is named after the Indus River and the
river gave its name to the country, India. It is also believed that when
Alexander came to India, he referred to its people as Indu, instead of Bharat.
Thereafter, the east of the Indus was referred to as India,but initially the
Vedic name for the area was Bharat.
IF HE
EXIST
I drive
joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and
evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at
him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something,
which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does
not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am
afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes
rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I
derive 4m.-
