Everything that has ever happened, happens and will happen in the entire Universe, first originated as a thought originating from the Mind of a Being. This thought in turn also had a corresponding effect on Energy and became a corresponding and potentially observable Effect. The ultimate act of Creation by The Source, in all its glorious spheres, planes and dimensions originated in the very beginning as a thought in the Mind of God. It can be said therefore that we all exist as "impressions & expressions", within the Mind of God, made in the true Spiritual image of God. So by seeing things from an unified perspective, we know that the physical state of matter and energy are "created and...

LONAVLA, India -- In India, Hindu culture trumps all. And although India is a growing hub of technological and biological influence, Hinduism dominates even the sciences. India is ranked 37 among the 82 countries assessed by the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report for the "state of their information technology system and its effects on economic growth and productivity." Roughly 300,000 engineers graduate from Indian colleges and universities each year.

Period (1882-1934) The Shamsi Ismailis in Punjab, the followers of Pir Shams (d. 1356), mostly practiced the Ismaili faith in solitude in the garb of the Hindus, and became known as the gupti (secretive). These gupti Ismailis mostly resided in 73 different villages in Punjab. Most of them revealed themselves from the Hindu culture, and emerged in public and assumed the Islamic names soon after the orders of Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah in 1910. The Imam is reported to have issued his next orders in 1912, 1914 and 1916 to cut down the old customs of Hindu customs and become practicing Muslims. In 1914, with the help of missionary Pir Muhammad Hussaini Asani (1878-1951), a certain Mahesh Das or Mahesh...

1. According to Mexican myth the gods were born from Frangipani flowers. 2. Frangipani (Plumeria) is very rare in China, and even more precious than orchids. So, when a person gives frangipani flowers to a sweetheart, it is the closest thing to saying you're special, I love you in a culture where expression of personal feelings is frowned upon. 3. The colorful caterpillar of Pseudosphinx tetrio feeds predominantly on the leaves of Plumeria rubra (frangipani). 4.

This is a collection of several independent horoscopes and knowledge. It is named after the Bhrigu Rishi.

The sacred literature of the Hindus, known as the Vedas is divided into two categories. They are,"Shruti (revealed knowledge)" and "Smriti (the practical application of the eternal principles)". The discipline of Hindu astrology or "Jyotish (astronomy and astrology)" belongs to the latter category (ref. 'Self-unfoldment', book by Swami Chinmayananda). The Hindu astrology is also known as the Vedic astrology or Indian astrology. The Hindu culture is inherently intertwined with astrology, which is not unlike the ancient cultures such as the Greece, with its Oracles of Delphi or the Mayan civilization, with its widely mentioned Mayan calendar. The origins of the Hindu astrology is dated as far back as...

engines have quickly become the new Yellow Pages. According to some studies I saw last year from PewOnline, more than 65% of people looking for information, a product, a business, or a church start by doing an online search. That number grows each year. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if at this point the number is more like 70%. That means that being listed in the search engines is more important than being in the phonebook (though I’d do both). I’ve talked about how search engine optimization (SEO) is a great way to get high rankings in the search engines; however, if you don’t want to wait for the high rankings SEO can get you or you find that, at least right now, you can...

He was always thinking about religious and philosophical or devotional things about God Srila Prabhupada's father believed that with a good education his son would have a much more promising career, then in 1916 he arranged for him to attend Scottish Churches' College, then to the top British college in Calcutta.

The college was strict in forbidding anti government propaganda, but the students were sympathetic to the cause of home...

The Amla, also known as Neelikkai, is called Phyllanthus Emblica in biological terms. It is known as Amalka in the Hindi language.

    Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar) is part of Hatha Yoga (the “physical” part of Yoga). Sun Salutation has multiple mental and physical benefits. In only ten minutes you can achieve a low impact workout that combines both Resistance Training (e.g. weight lifting) and Cardiovascular (“Cardio”) Training. The fitness community accepts the fact that cardiovascular exercise has reduced benefits (e.g. fat burning ends once the cardio exercise stops). It also has disadvantages like tear and wear of joints. Resistance Training on the other hand, has multiple benefits: increases muscle mass hence more fat burning capability, increases bone density to mention just a few. The drawback: it is painful...

Here I go with the famous saying "As You Sow, So You Reap" by Sri Swami Sivananda. A person will reap what he sows. Like how a seed gives you fruit and flowers when you sow it, the best example is the birth of a human from women. Humans give birth to humans, a dog to a dog, a horse to a horse and same is with our actions and deeds. If we sow the seed of an evil action, we will reap a harvest of pain and suffering. If we sow the seed of a virtuous action we will ultimately reap a harvest of pleasure. What you do, you get it in return. If we make others happy with our work, we feel happy in return for our service. Your actions in the past are responsible for your present condition. Your present...

  Yoga’s primary emphasis is upon general well-being. Although yoga has been shown to be beneficial in a variety of conditions, it is not considered a therapy for specific illnesses. Rather, yoga employs a broad holistic approach that focuses on teaching people a new lifestyle, way of thinking, and way of being in the world. In the process, however, it is also found to bring a myriad of healing effects. By attending to practices for improving, regaining or retaining general good health, a person is likely to find that some of his more specific difficulties tend to disappear. Many of the healing effects of yoga is clinically verified. We will look at the healing effects of yoga. However, one of...

I thought I'd heard it all when it comes to real estate investing stories until I heard this one! I was speaking with one of my real estate investing student's the other day and he told me a frightening story. Here it is, in his own words: "When I began investing in real estate he was somewhat clueless! Granted, I had definitely done my homework by researching everything related to real estate that I could get my hands on, but I was still desperate to do deals with little real world experience. The only thing I really knew was what I had read in the books and heard on the Guru courses I had listened to. A lot of this information is pretty good. As a matter of fact, most of it is pretty good. However...

Thus the questioner might be asking: Please place yourself in the structured schema that I use to describe society and the world around me. In other words, give me a series of tags that I can use to categorize you. The answer to such a demand needs must depend upon the categories and tags that the questioner recognizes. Fortunately there are a large series of such tags that are commonly and conventionally recognized. Thus the categories of nationality, ethnic origin, gender, occupation, income, place of...

Creating contacts through Facebook friends can lead to profitable business relationships, opportunities and ideas.
