आप सभी को शिवावतार भगवान् आदि शंकराचार्य जयंती की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं 🙏

कलौ रुद्रो महादेवो लोकानामीश्वरः परः । न देवता भवेन्नृणां देवतानांच दैवतम्। । करिष्यत्यवताराणि शंकरो नीललोहितः । श्रौतस्मार्त्तप्रतिष्ठार्थं भक्तानां हितकाम्यया ।। उपदेक्ष्यति तज्ज्ञानं शिष्याणां ब्रह्मासंज्ञितम । सर्ववेदान्तसार हि धर्मान वेदनदिर्शितान।। ये तं विप्रा निषेवन्ते येन केनोपचारत: । विजित्य कलिजान दोषान यान्ति ते परमं पदम।।

Mahadeva (who goes by the name Rudra), who is the greatest controller and even the Lord of the Devatas will incarnate in Kalyuga for the benefit of humanity. He will spread the philosophy of the Shrutis and Smritis. He will preach about the Ultimate Brahman along with his disciples. The philosophy spread by him would be flawless and the crux of the Vedanta.

- Kurma Puran 1.2.8.32-34

In Vishnu Puran, Prahlad tells that Everything although seems to be different is in Reality Lord alone appearing, so We must see everything as Atman.

But Hiranyakashyapu became angry on hearing such words of Prahlad where he is describing Nondual Reality of Existence.

To the people comparing Indira gandhi with prime minister modi calling him all sorts of things making those cool edits and memes on our government, Times have changed and they are much different, taking actions from the same psyche as it was there in 1971 is not a sign of courage and intelligence but its simply a foolish and an impulsive decision that will stake the life of many in our country, we have evolved and so has the enemy and the world geopolitical doctrine of a war. Some few summarised differences would be :-

• Pakistan was not a nuclear power back in 1971.
• India had really bad relations with America and obviously even worse trade relations.
(I added the video simply for a reference),

Don’t hate your enemy to the extent that it clouds your judgement and makes you feeble.
क्रोधो हि शत्रुः प्रथमं नाशति स्वयं ततः परं।
("The fire of an enemy’s anger burns him first before it reaches you.")
- @kautilyacode

Our Doctrine on Terrorism Has Evolved

Earlier, if there was a terrorist attack by Pakistan on India, our approach was largely defensive. We focused on sealing the borders, identifying the terrorists, preventing their escape, bringing them to justice, and seeking international support to condemn the act.

Now, the doctrine has fundamentally changed. Any act of terrorism against India will be considered an act of war.

Happy Buddha Purnima!

Shri Mahabhagwat Devi puran 11th chapter

Sadhna Series

Satvik, Rajasik and Tamsik states

There are three types of mental modifications: Sattvik, Rajasik and Tamasik.

Tamas → increases ignorance, laziness, confusion.

Rajas → increases desire, passion, energy, greed.

Sattva → increases happiness, clarity, health, and supports spiritual growth

To decrease Tamasik nature (ignorance, laziness)

i. Exercise or any physical activity (like sports, walking with friends, etc.)
ii. Eat no stale food. Eat within 5 hours of cooking.
iii. Reduce onion and garlic.
iv. Avoid non-vegetarian food.
v. Avoid processed food (packaged foods like Kurkure, Maggi, etc.)

To decrease Rajasik nature (desire, passion, greed)

Excess salty, spicy or oily food shouldn't be taken much. Take only occasionally. Don't avoid salt, spice and oil completely as it can have negative effects (increases Vata Dosha and scarcity of essential vitamins and minerals). Apply moderation in everything.

To increase Sattvic nature (self-control, purity)

i. Eat simple food made at home: fruits, vegetables, rice, roti, etc.

ii. Have Sattvik company and consume Sattvik content.

iii. Exercise in moderation increases Sattva Guna while exercise in excess increases Rajo Guna.

→ When you do what you want to hide from others (you are afraid about others knowing about it), it increases Tamo Guna. For example, when you have an exam coming and you know you should be studying but you're using social media on your computer, you know you're doing wrong and want to hide this from your parents and family members. Such activities increase Tamo Guna.

→ Doing what you want everyone to know increases Sattva Guna. In the above example, if you're studying a lot, you're proud of it and it's not something you want to hide. Such activities increase Sattva Guna.

The ideal balance of sattva, rajas, and tamas depends on your goals—whether spiritual, mental, or material.

For Spiritual Growth:

Sattva: High (70–80% or more)
Clarity, peace, purity, truth, compassion

Rajas: Moderate (15–25%)
Needed to maintain energy and motivation

Tamas: Low (5–10%)
Only enough for sleep and rest

Spiritual seekers aim for high sattva, reduce rajas and tamas.

Active professionals may require more rajas, but should still keep sattva as the foundation.

Unhealthy lifestyles tend to increase tamas and rajas while reducing sattva.
