Intrinsic motivation is our inner satisfaction. Or the motivation is not for success or victory but for the inner fulfillment that comes from the feeling of having accomplished something. Motivation has more to do with a sense of fulfillment than with achieving a goal. Where it is necessary to identify the motivation, it is also necessary to keep it strong. Two things are very important in motivation, they are recognition and responsibility. Responsibility gives a person a sense of responsibility and belonging, in which a person starts thinking of himself as a part of a bigger work. Lack of responsibility makes a person unmotivated. The happiness obtained by paying the price does not last long. On the contrary, if someone is impressed by your words and acts on them, then you get emotional happiness. The feeling of doing a job in a right manner is a motivation in itself. Intrinsic motivation is doing an activity for its inherent satisfaction rather than for some separable resul...

Seating in front of a lit fire in an autumn evening I was thinking of my past life. Thinking about our past lives is an interesting journey, but it can also be fraught with unintended consequences. The first relationships we make in life are with our families. A father's advice, a mother's warmth and a sibling's support are just what we need in the face of an impasse. The more the strings of relationships are pulled, the more the distance increases. I have started writing the story of my life. It has become a way for us to bond. My mom tells us stories about where and when my brothers and I were born and the things we loved. I have heard a lot about my life, but there is still a lot to be done. Even though I was away from home during the day, we used to get together before going to bed at night. So I am trying my best to connect with my family and write my life story. My mother was working long hours, so she could not spend much time at home. We were also working o...

Looking back, there was a tall man in front who was bigger than the clothes he worn or rather the lack of them, I remember him laughing a slow but very charming laugh, it seemed that he was an ascetic. There was a strange aura on his face, freshness in his voice, sweetness in his words, and a ray of light surrounded him. He was a very old man but his appearance gave the impression of a child.

It is a dark night with thunderous thunder. I find myself waking up in a hut. Things are scattered here and there in the house. As I walk around the house, I begin to realize that it is very small and in dilapidated condition. There is a large living room and a kitchen attached to the door. At the exit of the room, a little far away there was a cattle stable, which stood on four pillars, the roof was made of grass, which was missing, maybe the strong wind would have blown it away. Never before in my life had such fierceness of rain come and maybe it will come sometime in the future, don't know. It was raining heavily that night.

Maharishi Patanjali defined yoga as 'the control of the instincts of the mind'. In the Yoga Sutras, he elaborates on a path of eight-limbed yoga for complete well-being and physical, mental and spiritual purification. Ashtanga, meaning eight-limbed, yoga should not be understood as a path consisting of eight separate steps; It is an eight-dimensional path in which all eight dimensions are practiced simultaneously. These eight limbs of yoga are as follows: 1. Yama: Yam consists of five Social Moral Laws and which are as follows:- (a) Ahimsa (अहिंसा): - Not harming any living being by speech, thoughts and deeds. (b) Satya (सत्य): – To follow truthfulness with mind, word and deeds. (c) Asteya (अस्तेय): Non-stealing. (d) Brahmacharya (ब्रह्मचर्य): Chastity, marital fidelity or sexual restraint. (e) Aparigraha (अपरिग्रह): Non-avarice, non-possessiveness. 2. Niyamas This is the second component of Patanjali's Yoga path is niyama, which includes ...

Our traditional belief teaches us that our first responsibility is towards the society, second towards the family and third towards the self. Society begins to decline in which its order is reversed. Social responsibility should also be the moral responsibility of every citizen. Responsibility and freedom go hand in hand. The mark of a good citizen is that he should be prepared to bear his own burden. By speaking whatever comes to mind, a man has to listen to what he does not like later. Be practical wise. Being practical means choosing your words wisely and tactfully, and knowing how far you can go. It also means knowing what to say and what to leave unsaid. Talent without tact cannot always work. Our words reflect our attitude. Words can hurt our feeling and break our relationships. Man is not hurt as much by natural calamity as by bad words or bitter words. We must decide whether to speak after thinking or think after speaking. This is the difference between wisdom and stupid...

Controversy and debate can be avoided and by taking a little care, a man can stay away from many conflicts. The best way to win an argument is not to participate in it at all.

Like any other science, the science of yoga can also be used by the people of any country and time. It is completely wrong to render by some ignorant writers that yoga practice is 'dangerous' or not good for westerners. It is a matter of regret that this misrepresentation has turned away many sincere and eager aspirants of Yoga Sadhana from trying to reap its multifaceted benefits. Yoga practice is a method to calm the natural noise of thoughts. This cacophony of thoughts equally deprives all human beings of all countries from seeing a glimpse of their original self. Like healthy sunlight, yoga practice is equally beneficial for Eastern and Western people. Most people's thoughts are turbulent and fickle; Hence, the need for the science of mind-control - yoga practice is clear. One of the conspiracies is philosophy. Unlike Western philosophies, Hindu philosophy includes not only theoretical metaphysics, but also practical methods. After going through each and every qu...

I have a feeling that in the vibrant atmosphere of that holy place, Jaganmata will surely tug at his hea...
