|| The Law of Karma, How Does It Work?  Why is there suffering? Why Shree Ram Took Birth || Hinduism has a complex and diverse concept with various philosophical and spiritual concepts, and one of its 3rd fundamental concepts is the law of karma. (I have already written about the first two). What is Karma? The process of action and reaction on all levels — physical, mental, and spiritual - is karma. Karma is the most important and basic principle of Hinduism, yet a very complex thing to understand. Karma, derived from the Sanskrit word meaning "action" or "deed," is the belief that every action a person takes has consequences that affect their present life and future lives. What is its significance? a) Everyone is bound to perform action, no one can escape it. BG, chapter 3.4- न कर्मणामनारम्भान्नैष्कर्म्यं पुरुषोऽश्नुते | न च संन्यसनादेव सिद्धिं समधिगच्छति।। Meaning- One cannot achieve freedom from karmic reactions by merely abstaining from wo

|| According to Hinduism, what are the aims of a person, Purusartha explained || In the vast tapestry of human existence, the pursuit of meaningful goals has always been a driving force. In Hindu philosophy, the concept of Purushartha encapsulates the fundamental objectives and purposes that guide individuals toward a purposeful and fulfilling life. The term Purushartha finds its origin in the Suryopanishad , an Upanishad associated with the Atharva Veda . It is important to note that the term "Purush" in Purushartha refers not to any gender but to the individual atman in its purest form, applicable to both men and women. The four goals of life, namely Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha , are collectively known as Purushartha. These concepts are also codified in the sacred Dharmashastra , a book of law and ethics. Understanding these concepts is essential for those seeking a deeper understanding and practice of Hinduism. ◆ Dharma- Dharma, a concept deeply rooted in Hindu

|| Tantra: An Unexplored Science, Basic Meaning Explained. How Is It Connected To Bhagawan Shiva? || In Hinduism, there are three ways to worship any Deity- 1. The satavik way- In which we show our devotion to a deity using satvik ways like ringing the bell, offering jal, prasad etc. 2. The rajasik way - In which we show our devotion by dressing up in a specific way, using fragrance, using ratnas, some yantra etc. 3. The tamasik way- In which we show our devotion by using some specific rituals, dead bodies, animal sacrifices, sex etc. It is common for people to misunderstand tantra, but it shouldn't come as a surprise because everyone possesses different qualities within them, namely Sato (purity), Rajo (activity), and Tamo (darkness).

Christopher Nolan’s multiple Oscar nominated film Oppenheimer has swept all the major awards and also grossed over US$ 1 billion - here is a closer look at what the Scientist stood for… THE SIGNIFICANCE OF OPPENHEIMER Written by Bhuvan Lall Saturday, 18 February 1967, was a cold day on the East Coast. The winds whipped along the landscape of Princeton and the roofs of entire neighborhoods were encrusted in heavy snow. The residents of the small university town dressed in boots and fur shivered in icy gusts. Across from the Institute of Advance Studies in snow-covered Princeton, was the Director’s residence – the stately Olden Manor. It was an 18-room white colonial house with portions dating back to 1696. This was the home of a great hero of science and a well-known brilliant physicist, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. Almost twenty years ago on a warm day in July 1947, Princeton welcomed Oppenheimer, his wife Kitty, and their two young children Peter and Katherine after their relocation fro
