Dr Sreedevi N V and The World of Ayurveda

  Art of faking is taught to everyone since birth. From makeup for new born babies to fake tears after death of a relative , we are made to follow the societal norms and rules for the satisfaction of some others who are not at all in terms with our inner visions.  Babies are given mark with Kajal so that they don't get any evil eye .Such things may exist . But rather than preventing people to say Ill comments , we make our babies full of unwanted powder and marks making them like clowns. To be Frank , if a beauty conscious person is not doing this , babies will look like clowns only. Many things we do are just as per someone's advices without any proper explanation also. Living just to avoid criticism in itself is a sort of hypocrisy.  As they grow up , we make children pursue things as per the market demands and ofcourse relatives demands. Who gave the rights to disturb the natural course of growth and development of a child to people who dont have knowledge about depth ...

  Life is like an ocean with so many people interconnected to us in one way or another.  There are many types of people and relations we come across in our daily life.  Apart from usual friend , sibling types , let's see what other types of relations can be.  Well wishers - can be of any age group , well wishers intend our progress and convey our pros and cons correctly regardless of our situation or response. They are sincere and want to see us happy in life.  Admirers - Admirers like us , may be attracted or liking our character or any specific talent in us. They can be simply wondering about us , yet may not openly disclose it sometimes.  Fans - fans like us and follow us , even ready to disclose that fact to others. They want to see us having public appearances and more interactions also. Fans may not be knowing who we really are because they are mostly seeing the external persona only. Fans also tend to believe on tales about us told by some other peop...

 Every one has their own versions of truth.  That truth is based on their mental attitudes and upbringing since childhood. Some may correlate truth to be related to strict orthodox principles , some may say it can be flexible depending on the viewpoint of the person who comes to know it. Eg, in Jainism , a concept called Anekantavada is there meaning every fact has various view points and truth is relative to that view point.  This is the same as theory of relativity of Einstein. You are sitting in a train ,as per you , the external objects like trees are moving. But when you are in the side of the trees standing motionlessly , the train is only moving .  What do you understand from this ?  Science and philosophy are always connected. That hidden link is decoded by introspection and vast analysis of references by the scientists or philosophers. Oppenheimer , father of atomic bomb expressed a Sanskrit sloka from 11 th chapter of Bhagavat Gita while seeing the det...

  We say invention when we tell about a new unique idea implemented first time in the world. We say discovery when we find something which was already existing but unknown to others.  We say research when we are searching details about something already existing and searched before by others. It's re-search. So the point is that nothing is an invention now a days in reality. When it's re-search oriented , it's based on preexisting texts and ideas in the world related to that subject.  True wisdom that arises in mind is a unique thing that occurs only in your mind. It's like an invention. When another person finds that in his mind , it's his invention.  Bookish knowledge is only re search and mind the fact that written texts or circulating ideas may have hidden interests and false information also. Thats why Indian philosophy says to find out truth of everything by yourself. So self discrimination , analysis and interpretation are essential as per Eastern philosophy ...

  Universal values like love , care , compassion are not so much valuable now-a-days , why ?  Because they don't come with a price , they can't be sold . If you get committed in the society , you have to give it off like an unwritten rule. But what if that person doesn't qualify for your love or respect ?  For the modern society , business mindedness is ideal and neutrality in behaviour is the established code of conduct. But being selfish and pressurising people can't bring a real success in any situation , be it in business or relations.  Remaining trustable and approachable also is necessary. Otherwise , the union of people will be only blind without sincerety or openness in communication and dealings. Suspicion lurks in every close dealing too. Why be so much closed when combined sucess can be gained by association of nice hearted souls.  Some people think they need to show arrogance in behaviour inorder to be of superior attitude. This is a wrong thought wh...

  If you are given the ability to see our future , what will be your response to that ? We will be watchful of each deed and try to stay calm as we know the cause and result of every action of ours right ? What if it's given to someone who is not in control ? They will most probably end being fearful of untoward consequences of their deeds , but they will feel they are not able to stop that activity . That will be a miserable condition.  It is said that incarnations of the almighty know their destiny upto some extent , but they also do their duties like normal humans so as the destiny is undisturbed . For what they are playing this drama ? To give message to the upcoming generations may be. But it's a fact that all these are part of myths. Mythology the name itself says. Anyhow, illusion, the momentary Maya is present in our lives also. Don't you remember some things in your past you have done which seems to be comical or illogical to you now ? What caused you to do that?...

  Creativity , the word itself says that it's creating some thing new out of nothing or even a vague idea . You have to free your mind to wander to discover something creative and novel. For that you have to be free from fixed ideology and your mind should be free from prejudice . There can be n number of methods to solve a problem and that search for a new method is what is called creative search.  You can say it's a super power once you learn to use that wisely.  All of us have good and bad aspects , we can arrive on different solutions at the same time using our creative thinking and make our mind strong , because what ever happens we have various plans to solve that. If you want to go to place A , tickets are not available , you can earlier think nearby places or some other place or even some other mode of going there beforehand and be proactive in your approach.  It's a flexibility that creativity provides you to tackle any situation.  It adds to your emoti...

  It is said that , you should try to learn lessons from advises of wise people. But you know , the universal energy is so vast that out of that only a piece of information is getting into the thoughts of wise people. From this , only a portion will come out to the people as advises. And its like the drawing of a cat. When each person copies the picture , atlast some other picture is got . Therefore , we are only getting a glimpse of reality really.  In some of the enlightened sages opinion , they have told about presence of thought vibrations of seers in the sky itself . So when we are in tune with those vibrations through  deep meditation, those information will be automatically downloaded into our thoughts. In short , those original inventory ideas may have origin from other past seers who thought a lot about the same thing during their life times.  We have to be like an open receptacle to be a medium for receiving these thoughts. Thats why positivity plays a role...

 He had his own mask , a dark mask which made his reality invisible for others.  He worked in night when the world sleeps , no matter what others try , his identity was always unknown..  Because , he walked in the shadows of others..  When someone talked to him about himself or herself , he would talk as if he is their own shadow. He pretended to be their sincere friend. Thus , he would enter into their shadow and be invisible in that shade.  He was a chameleon with changing colors as per the background person with him . Thus no one knew his real colors.  One day , he confronted a saint who had only whitish aura around him and no hidden dark colours. His mask fell off before him. First time the shadowy stranger was in front of pure light gazing at his eyes .  He could judge him and smiled back at him. Words of shadowy stranger were sweet and coated with fake flowery respect .  Saint didn't utter a word and walked away.  Stranger closed his ey...

 When you are hearing a piece of soothing music ,enjoying fragrant pleasant atmosphere with your dear ones , it's calmness and is like heaven. . When you are unsure of your future and seem to be pessimistic about your existence , you feel the same place to be a hell.  So , what is the conclusion out there ?  Your mind is commanding over your senses to make the same place heaven and hell. Thats why controlling our thoughts and calming ourselves maintaining positivity is told to be always great.  When you are able to independently think without any external influence from others or even your previous experiences, when you feel you are no more affected by duality of situations , you are wise.  When you feel it's the same whether any thing happens or not , when you feel everything is the same coin with two sides , you feel somewhat tired or no more interested in wordly conquests. Instead you feel the show will go on. And you become detached and start doing your work...
