when your sibling dies, you lose your past, your present and your future.

Surviving the Loss of a Sibling One of the most misunderstood and neglected areas of bereavement is sibling grief. Society tends to overlook sibling grief and concentrate more on the grief of a parent or child. Personnel policies at work may offer more funeral leave for a parent than a sibling. Many books, brochures or articles are available about grief but most of the literature fails to touch on the unique grief adults feel when one of their siblings dies. Indeed, most of the literature dealing with sibling death is designed for children. As with any grief, sibling grief is unique – it is influenced by the emotional bond and attachment level you had with your sibling. For younger siblings, there was never a time in their life when their older sibling did not exist. Older siblings may not remember the time before their younger sibling became a part of their life. For many, siblings are the first people with whom we socialize on an equal basis. We grow around each other...

RUDRAKSH.... TEARS OF SHIV

एक दिन सहसा तपस्या करते समय,  भगवान शिव का मन अति क्षुब्ध हो गया। उस समय उनके नेत्र खुलते ही अश्रुओं की कुछ बूंदें गिरीं और उन बूंदों से रूद्राक्ष वृक्ष पैदा हो गया। इन रूद्राक्षों को भगवान शंकर ने विष्णु भक्तों में बांट दिया। जमीं पर ये रूद्राक्ष - मथुरा, अयोध्या, लंका, मलयाचल, काशी, नेपाल आदि देशों में इनके अंकुर लगाए। मनुष्यों को चाहिए कि वे क्रमशः वर्ण के हिसाब से, जाति के अनुसार ही रूद्राक्ष धारण करें। लोक में मंगलमय रूद्राक्ष जैसा फल देने वाला दूसरा और कुछ नहीं है। श्वेत रुद्राक्ष केवल ब्राह्मणों को धारण करना चाहिए। गहरे लाल रंग का रूद्राक्ष क्षत्रियों को, पीला - वैश्यों को और काला - शूद्रों को, धारण करना चाहिए। रूद्राक्ष शिव का मंगलमय लिंग- विग्रह है। रूद्राक्ष के प्रकार-  एक मुखी - साक्षात शिव का रूप है । यह भोग और मोक्ष प्रदान करता है। दो मुखी - संपूर्ण कामनाओं और फलों को देने वाला है। तीन मुखी - साधना का फल और सारी विधायों को प्रतिष्ठित करने वाला होता है। चार मुखी - धर्म, अर्थ, काम और मोक्ष का पुरूषार्थ देने वाला होता है। पांच मुखी- मुक्तिदाता और मनोवांछित फल प्रदान ...

IMPORTANCE OF WELLNESS

Wellness is much more than merely physical health, exercise or nutrition. It is the full integration of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.  This post provides a broad, yet specific sense of what wellness means, the different types of wellness and steps to improve your everyday life.  Why Wellness Matters Maintaining an optimal level of wellness is absolutely crucial to live a higher quality life. Wellness matters because everything we do and every emotion we feel relates to our well-being. In turn, our well-being directly affects our actions and emotions. It’s an ongoing circle. Therefore, it is important for everyone to achieve optimal wellness in order to subdue stress, reduce the risk of illness and ensure positive interactions. "If there was a fountain of youth, it would rest in the souls of those who are seeking optimal health as they age," says Beverly Bernstein Joie, president/CEO of Complete Care Strategies. "The priority to seek optimal health spells l...

WHAT IS MARRIAGE ACCORDING TO VEDA'S

Got a nice article on above topic and thought to share with you. +++++++++++++ A few relevant Mantras/Hymns/Riks in regard to marriage in the Vedas are mentioned below:   Rig-Veda says, " Wife is verily a home " (1-66-5, 1-77-3 and 3-54-4). After marriage the girl can attend and address  Vidhata  (Assembly regarding religious and spiritual matters)   and  Sabha  (Assembly regarding social, economics and political matters) and should conduct as per Rta (cosmic Laws of necessity)   and   Dharma (Rig Veda 10-85-26 to 42 and 47.   Atharav Veda. 14-1-20 , 22. 14-2-64 , 71). She is the mistress and ruler of the house. Virtuous, noble, educated wife of an unimpeachable character and conducts devoted to her husband with body mind and soul enjoy the highest bliss. Atharva Veda 14-1-20 enjoins the wife to go to husband's place and become the mistress of the house.   However, for those who do not have faith in the permanent truths and cosmic laws...
