Navayan and Buddhism of Ambedkar

BR Ambedkar announced to accept Buddhism on 14th October, 1956 in a press conference.

He formed a new sect Navayan inspite of following pre existing sects such as Mahayana, Vajrayan and Heenayan.

Those who complain that women have no right to perform sacrifices on their own must remember that men too have no right to the same without a wife.

If they know this truth they would not make the allegation that Hindu shaastras looked down upon women.

A man can perform sacrifices only with his wife. He does them for the well-being of all mankind and for his own inner purity.

It is for this purpose that, after the samavartana following the completion of his student-bachelorhood, he goes through the samskaar called marriage.

Marriage or vivaaha is known as "सहधर्मचारिणीसमप्रयोग". It means (roughly) union with a wife together with whom a man practises dharma.

The clear implication is that carnal pleasure is not its chief purpose, but the pursuit of Dharma.

The shaastras do not ask a man to pursue dharma all by himself but require him to take a helpmate for it.

The wife is called "dharma-patni", "सहधर्मचारिणी", thus underlining her connection with dharma, and not with kama or sensual pleasure.

This is the proof of the high esteem in which the shaastras hold women. The celibate-student and the ascetic alike follow the dharma of their respective aashramas (stages of life) not in association with anyone else.

Did you know ?

Samveda is smallest of 4 Vedas.

There are 1875 mantras in Samveda out of which most are of Rigveda.

Few are from Atharva Veda and Yajurveda.

There are about 1000 shakhas in it like Jaiminiye, Kaumuthiye and much more.

Many Sages, saints and gurus have said that Shlokas of Samveda are coded and if they will be extracted, Samveda will become much larger in size in terms of number of Shlokas

Even Krishna has said "In Vedas, I'm Saamveda." The Shlokas in Samveda are related to Music, Medicine, art and much more.

Facts:

Few Mantras in Samveda are so strong that chanting them in proper way can cure your diseases.

There are few Mantras which assert the Scientific acumen of Vedic Sages. For example, one such Mantra talks that Moon doesn't have its own light and it reflects the light of sun.

The Shlokas talk in detail about Raag, musical instruments, Musical sounds, and such more.

The Shlokas are used in Yagna and have immense energy which can be used effectively.

"Brahmins are not a privileged caste""
By Kanchi Paramacharya.

It is alleged that Brahmins created the dharmasastras for their own benefit. You will realise that this charge is utterly baseless if you appreciate the fact that these sastras impose on them the most stringent rules of life.

If anyone criticises a judge he will be charged with contempt of court. People who call themselves democrats and socialists have managed for themselves special allowances, special railway passes, etc, that the common people are not entitled to.

In contrast, the Brahmins who have preserved the dharmasastras have bound themselves to vigorous discipline, roasted themselves, as it were, in the oven of ritual practices. If the Brahmin's purity is affected by someone he punishes himself by bathing and fasting.

The Brahmin must be conversant with the fourteen branches of the Vedic lore. He must be proficient even in Gandharva-veda or music and must be acquainted with agricultural science, construction of houses, etc. At the same time he must give instructions in these subjects to pupils

Western people called India as land of spices.
We have been using lot of herbs in our vegetables and dishes.
But was that only because we love the taste of Spices?

A big NO.

Ayurveda mentions many herbs which have their specific medicinal benefits. Many of the herbs are very rare and they are to be used carefully else they can even harm the user.

But many herbs are beneficial in general. They are full of antioxidants, minerals and other useful nutrients. They can be consumed either raw or within less proportion. We have been using them in our day to day lives. Gradually they became part of our daily dishes.

1) Aloe vera:-Extremely easy to grow, aloe vera is India’s most favorite and a succulent plant that is low-on-maintenance and easy-to-grow.The plant is a trusted remedy for Indians to treat skin inflammation, breakouts, and burns.

Its juice is well-known to boost a weak immune system. It is believed to be full of oxidants, which help the body to fight free radicals and stay fit as well as young

We have known art of breathing from start of civilization on earth.

Yes, Breathing is an art.

Right kind of breathing can lead to a healthy and long life.
But people have forgotten to breathe properly.

There are three Nadi in our body in which pranvayu travels.

Ida, Pingala and Sushumna.

Sushumna is activated only when we have proper mastery and control over Ida and Pingala.

Nowadays people can even control these two Nadi.

You can overcome most of the diseases by just controlling your breathing through balanced Ida and Pingala.

Normally we can't breathe with both nostrils at same time.

It's either from left or from right.

Left nostril is home to Ida or Chandra Nadi while Right nostril is home to Pingala or Surya Nadi.

Sushumna is activated only through rigorous pranayam and Dhyan techniques.

Experts of Pranayam and Yoga tell that breathing from Ida can soothe and cool your mind and body.

While Pingala breathing can lead to warmth and keep you active and energetic.

Normally, we don't breathe to our full extent.
This minimises the capacity of lungs and restricts proper benefits.
By proper training of Pranayam you learn how to breathe properly.

In my @BylineTimes interview with historian @ruthbenghiat she cautions these so-called “strongmen” often remain in the party’s

1/ Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s latest book, Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present, details the precise moment in time when fascism was born.

2/ “World War One was this cataclysmic change,” she told Byline Times. “Multiple empires fell, including the Russian Empire, Hapsburg Empire, the Ottoman Empire. It created death on a scale no one had seen before. It created wounds no one had seen before because of new weapons.”

3/ In addition, the Great War led to a profound crisis in maleness.

4/ “It created this entire class of men who were damaged, many were killed, and it created this huge crisis of masculinity,” she said. “So fascist rulers came up during this crisis period of unrest and instability in their individual countries and Italy was first.”

The Eisenhower Decision Matrix is a powerful tool for prioritizing your time and unlocking growth in your career, startup, business, relationships, or life.

A thread on how it works and how it can change your life...

Dwight D. Eisenhower was an American military officer and politician.

He was a five-star general in the United States Army and the first Supreme Commander of NATO.

After his military career, he was elected as the 34th President of the United States, serving from 1953 to 1961.

In both his military and civilian careers, Eisenhower stood out for his prolific productivity.

His secret?

Eisenhower observed that people often confuse the urgent with the important. He did not.

"What is important is seldom urgent and what is urgent is seldom important."

The Eisenhower Decision Matrix is a visualization tool that forces you to differentiate between the urgent and the important.

It allows you to prioritize your time accordingly and unlock new productivity and growth.

Let's cover the basics of how it works...

First, we have to define "urgent" and "important."

An "urgent" task is one that requires immediate, focused attention.

An "important" task is one that promotes or furthers your long-term values, goals, or principles.

Remember: Tasks can be both urgent and important.

This is the story of Piggly Wiggly and one man taking on Wall Street ALONE.

Buckle up, because this is one of the craziest stories in investment history.

It all started in 1919 when a man by the name of Clarence Saunders invented the first modern supermarket—Piggly Wiggly stores.

Before this time, people had to go into a store, give the clerk a shopping list, and then wait for their items to be gathered and brought out.

Saunders changed all that when he created a retail self-service market where people could pick the items themselves and pay on the way out.

People loved the idea so much that within 3 years there were over 1,200 Piggly Wiggly stores in the U.S.

With this success, Saunders began licensing the Piggly Wiggly name out to other retailers.

Unfortunately, some of these retailers in the northeast began going out of business in the fall of 1922, all while using the Piggly Wiggly name.

Traders on Wall Street heard of these closings and decided that they had an opportunity on their hands.

They began shorting Piggly Wiggly while also spreading rumors that the parent corporation was in trouble.


Within a week the price dropped from $50 to $40 a share.
