Yoga for Peace & Harmony

 


Death is inevitable.

And the ways are different. Somebody killed somebody take self death.

In Mahabharata Pitamaha Bishma have the power to choose his death by himself. Signifies, every person have his own intention and chosen path to leave long or short. 

You may think what is that all about???

A person die by disease or accident is not in his hand. But if you think carefully there are many indications and to keep safe from diseases or accidents if somebody wants to.

But as we know nothing is immortal and Change is the name of life ---“Just as a person discards old garments and wears new ones, the soul passes from one body to another in the cycle of rebirth. The soul, being immortal, remains unaffected by the physical manifestations of life, such as birth, growth, decay, and death”—Translated

वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय
नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि |
तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णा
न्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही || 22||

vāsānsi jīrṇāni yathā vihāya
navāni gṛihṇāti naro ’parāṇi
tathā śharīrāṇi vihāya jīrṇānya
nyāni sanyāti navāni dehī

---Srimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 - Verse 22 

We can not take a single thing from this world but every one of us work and want to live a long life. The magic of Mahamaya. We fight with each other, kill each other and want to live by killing others. If can not win we feel depressed and outburst with anger. The insecurity make us more frightened.

The Iguana may be depressed and forget the dangers of crossing the road and hit by car. This happens to many humans as well. Due to depression they become drug addict, alcoholic and even commit suicide.

As a biology student I always respect Charles Darwin’s theory—Struggle for Existence - Survival of the Fittest -  and Selection by Nature. And we do not look for die we always follow the Motivation theory of Maslaw’s Hierarchy.

The Gita underscores the importance of understanding one's true nature as the immortal soul and recognizing the impermanence of the physical realm. By realizing the eternal nature of the self, one can attain liberation (moksha) from the cycle of birth and death. This liberation is achieved by transcending attachments to the material world, performing one's duties selflessly, and seeking a union with the divine (Yoga) through devotion, knowledge, or disciplined action.—(TIMESOFINDIA.COM / Dec 29, 2023)

 Today International Yoga Day—Let us move forward with peace and harmony in mind and follow this year theme- “Yoga for Self and Society.” 

Keep fit for self and Make the Society better for the future generations.

Water---- the other name of life

Image
The origin of the earth theory states that a hot ball of gases was cooled down to form water, and then only the first life on earth was created. On other planets, we still cannot trace any life, so there is no existence of water. In the Puranas, Varuna is worshipped as the god of water. Although the water has no colour, But in different places, it takes different colours to match the local environment. The blue water of the sea represents youth. The ocean water is greenish-blue. It not only changes and shows different colours in places; it also changes as per time. Daytime, the pond water becomes green, and at night, it becomes blackish. Yes, the readers may tell that this is Chlamydomonus, the algae's phototactic movement. It is very true that life grows only with water. There is a story in Bengali 'Obak Jaalpaan'- Jaal is water in bengali. That describes different types of water to a thrusty person. The pathetic condition of the person who demands water is a different
