Guru ..............

                    When a person's personality is formed, the surrounding environment, along with education, has a lot of influence on people. All of these things happen to a person and that's how it happens. People learn something from the moment they are born until they die. When we say learning, it is not limited to school, college, and examinations. All knowledge does not come from books. Some people learn from their own experiences, while others learn from the experiences of others. To give a simple example of this, if we do not pay attention to the road properly while walking on the road, then we get injured in the leg by getting hit. You've probably heard of it, or experienced it yourself. There are many things in life that we have never experienced, but we still act like it.

                   The information about the whole world is contained in the books, the biographies of great men, the heroic stories of the brave warriors, the experiences of the people, the thoughts, and many other things are mentioned in the books, although some things are not known without experiencing them yourself. No matter how many things are explained, some things are understood by themselves and are not necessarily the same as they are mentioned every time. There is a famous line that says, Read between the lines.

                    Just as a good work of art is made of clay, we also do the same. The way a sculptor collects the scattered soil present in nature, sieves it, cleans it and then starts shaping it. In the very first attempt, the art was shaped and it was not completed. After a lot of effort, slowly the artwork starts to take shape and it gets a shape, when it gets a shape, make small changes, make some processes on it so that it gets a minimum life. After the process of roasting and finally decorating it, its artistry is complete. Actually, that's what happens to us. We grow in the womb of the mother in stages of 9 months. We are likewise scattered, united, and entering into this whirlpool. Our parents play an important role in shaping us. Just as the sculptor uses certain materials, so the words, the books, through education, help us to become what we are. As time goes on, the people around us, our friends, and all living things in this creation are involved in this process. I think there is a difference between art and sculpture. So when that art of the sculptor takes a particular form, the process of making that art stops. But that is not the case with us, our process of happening is not limited to our size, but through experience, and thoughts, it continues till the time we are alive.

                    We learn something from the moment we are born to the moment we leave this world. What we learn from them is more important than who we learn from them, and what we learn from them can make a difference in our lives or the lives of others. Here's a simple and well-known example. If you look out of the window, the sparrow makes its nest. For this, she collects sticks from somewhere and makes her nest. One day a strong wind blows and the nest is torn apart. When the sparrow comes and sees that the nest is no longer there, she again tries to do everything with the same vigor and continues to build her scattered nest. Everyone knows this. In reality, the sparrow is not educated anywhere, her experience and her efforts are her teachers.

                    A guru is not always a sage or an ascetic. In our life, our parents, brothers and sisters, friends, teachers in school and college, our fellow well-wishers, our enemies, society, nature, and all these creatures are our gurus. We always learn something from them. At the same time, our own experience is also our teacher. That is why we must always salute and respect all of them and no matter how big we grow in life, we must always want to learn something. ....

New Year .............

                                                                                 From a cultural perspective, the New Year may begin in any month or on any date, but in our practical lives, dates hold great importance. The journey of dates in each of our lives begins with the birth certificate and continues uninterrupted until the death certificate. At every stage of life, certain dates and months become especially significant, carrying with them many memories. To give a simple example, the first birthday of ours or of our loved ones, the first day of school in June , the annual school examinations held in March/April , the 10th and 12th grade exams conducted in February/March , the first day at a new job , or starting anything new—such as beginning regular exercise , which we usually...

Shubh Vivaah..............

From birth to death, a human being goes through several stages in life — such as childhood, youth, and old age. As long as a person lives, they pass through these stages. In our culture, our ancestors, with deep thought and foresight, laid down a systematic framework in the scriptures describing which aspects of life should be given importance at each stage. If we look closely, all these stages are important. But among them, one significant stage is Gṛhasthāśrama (the stage of household life). In Hinduism, sixteen sacraments (saṁskāras) are prescribed from birth till death, and marriage is considered one of the most important among them. The scriptures compare a newly married couple to Lakshmi and Narayana — a reflection of the sacredness and importance given to this relationship in our culture. Marriage is a sacred bond. In our social system too, the marriage ritual holds special importance. Marriage is not just about two individuals; it is about the union of two families and two cu...

My Country & Me.......

                    Things received easily in life are not considered to be valuable by us. They may be objects from your day-to-day life or the freedom of our nation. On looking at the events happening around us today, we can come to the conclusion that we have forgotten to value our hard-earned freedom, the way we should. If we lose an object acquired easily, without much efforts, we do not value it much; & do not bother much about its loss. But, we care for & value hard-earned objects; regret their loss; & try to recover them. A simple example is food. If it is scarce, we value it most.                          I think, as we have not had to strive hard, sweat, make sacrifices or shed blood for our country's freedom, we do not value it; do not care for it. We have got freedom ready on a platter, easily. In fact, we have never had any experience of b...
