Save Oceans to Save Ourselves

By -

About 71% of the Earth is covered with water. This means that the remaining 29% of the area is occupied by land. Which is less than half the amount of water. Nevertheless, 29% of this land activity has a strong impact on the oceans.

Our oceans and seas are worlds in themselves. They are home to scores of marine life. The oceans produce the oxygen we breathe, provide food and regulate the climate. The way we treat our oceans affects not only the life that lives within it, but us as well.


Every year millions of sharks are killed for their fins, which is a delicacy in some parts of the world. Although it is legal to capture some specs, illegal sharks are traded. The shark’s wings have been cut off and the rest of the body thrown into the sea to avoid declaring a full animal at the port.

The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased in the last few decades. This has led to acidification of the ocean, the ocean has absorbed carbon dioxide and it reduces the chemical balance of water. The acidification of the oceans threatens the entire seafood web.

Respiratory System & Exercises

Aerobic activities like walking, running or jumping rope give your heart and lungs the kind of workout they need to function efficiently. Muscle-strengthening activities like weight-lifting or Pilates build core strength, improving your posture, and toning your breathing muscles. Tree Posture (Vrikshasan) In this posture, standing on one leg with both hands folded upwards is made inverted. While going in this position one has to take deep breaths. And exhale while returning to normal. Tadasana When you stand on your toes and stretch your hands directly above the head, there is more room for oxygen in the respiratory system. This increases lung capacity. Triangle Posture (Trikonasan) Take deep sows standing upright. While exhaling, one hand is rooted from the bottom and the other hand is towards the sky, this leads to the exercise of the stomach. The respiratory process becomes the scavenger. Matsyasan In this posture, sit on the ground with cross legs and keep the head back and stay on

Faith and Belief

By -

When there is worry in your mind, your body gets worried, there is fear and you feel tight. There is excitement when needed, eyes turn red when angry, tongue waters when tempted to eat. So it is clear from this that emotions affect the body. What don't you do when you have anger and hatred? Then will the faith and belief in our mind not have any effect? Are these so insignificant that they do not help your morale at all? Faith and belief calm your body, make your mind free from doubt, double and triple your intellect, relax your ego and remove every layer of ignorance. Faith and belief destroy humility, subservience and impurity, and bring about such chemical changes in the body that stool disorders go away, diseases and grief go away. This is a sure shot way to acquire the experiences of the great souls. When faith and belief in God is active in the heart, it washes away all the impurities. In place of lust, peace comes in the heart, indifference in place of anger, equanimi

My Dream House an Image of the Universe

In the month of January my family decided to buy a new house, as that house was small for my family, I was also very excited to get my new house. Specifically, I wanted a new bedroom so we went to the next societies in search of a new house; my family wanted a big hall and a room for their indoor activities. We searched a lot for a house. In our imagination; Our house should be very well lit. Maximum sunlight should be provided by skylights and tall windows. The place should be much bigger than our old house. We first looked at our needs and then looked at the budget. Is our household budget matching our needs? The next step was to add some modern touches, which we were very happy with. Our aim was to find a home that reflected its traditional values, but with a touch of modernity. We combined classic features like terracotta grills with more contemporary additions like box projections, glass extensions and glass staircases to find this beautiful, timeless property; Which we can

The True Spiritual Practice

By -

Today there are many saints, but there is no sadhana. Sadhana without sadhana is like paper flowers. In which there is a lot of multicolored attraction, but there is a complete lack of fragrance. Such paper flowers are seen everywhere today. Because of this, the intensity and brightness of religion has dimmed. Religion is impossible in the absence of spiritual practice. The roots of religion are in spiritual practice. In the absence of spiritual practice, a saint's life can either be mere acting or oppression. Both these things are not auspicious. False expression of penance is hypocrisy, while mere repression is even more deadly. There is the torture of struggle in it, but there is no achievement in it. That which is suppressed does not die, but slides into deeper layers. On the one hand, a saint without sadhna is tormented by the pangs of lust; His life keeps burning in their flames; The fierce race of desire keeps giving him pain every moment; On the other hand, the flames

Success Is Not Just a Coincidence

Success is not just a coincidence. This is the result of our perspective and we can choose our own perspective. Therefore, success is a matter of choice, not of chance. Most of the people keep waiting for a lottery to take place, but can they get success in it? You have to choose to work hard and you have to choose to be in the right place at the right time. You also have to be able to recognize what an opportunity looks like. Nothing happens by chance. Everything happens for a reason. Success is an opportunity and opportunity comes only to those who prepare themselves. Chance or luck is being prepared to see an opportunity. Our continuous efforts can make any impossible task possible. Just as a continuously flowing river cuts even a mountain. If you want to win, consider these thoughts. The eagerness to do something new always takes a person to his destination. Many types of obstacles come in the way of success due to which a person loses and changes his path. Those who maintain t

It is a universal truth that change is the law of nature. After every night comes a day. Similar changes keep happening in our lives also. Some things change as per our wish and some things happen automatically without our efforts. Just as stagnant water gets filled with dirt and flowing water automatically remains clean and pure. Similar changes keep happening in human life also. Sometimes the scenery changes and sometimes the view of thinking changes. The change of scenery is not only refreshing; In some circumstances, this is the right choice. Different people see the same person in different ways. It is not certain that every Sunday is a holiday, it does not mean that every holiday will be followed by a Monday. Recognizing that, in terms of personal growth and development, we are not at the level we believe we should be. If we do not first change ourselves i.e. do not create a better self; So no matter where we go, who we meet, whatever new situation we find ourselves in, we
