"Dharma is not a matter of intellectual study and debate. It is a way of life"- Sri Tathata
Human-A great opportunity
Human being is the noblest of all created beings, but we lost sight of that nobility. The nobility ascribed to man is because of his ability to the divine fulfillment of life.(Dharmasutras)
Healthy way of life
Healthy way of life was part of Vedic tradition formulated by enlightened Rishis. Vedic way of life are ways to lead life in peaceful manner with prosperity and happiness. These great tradition has been deep rooted in human life and people followed and lead a better life for many centuries. But in modern life style people have forgotten or neglected the soul’s natural way of accumulating knowledge and experiencing life; we are rushing behind the physical pleasure and wealth in an unconscious way. This neglecting of the souls and the imbalance of life is reflected in the increased mental, physical and behavioral disorders. The worries of life and the distorted and unhealthy food habits have made us a generation polluted more than the generations before.Currently people are facing problems like metabolic deceases, joint and skeletel problems, cardio-vascular deceases, hyper tension, overweight, chronic deceases, stress, violence and so on in this unhealthy life style. Without balancing body, Prana and Mind moving ahead will be disastrous. In-case we go ahead we are going to encounter more impaired souls and polluted bodies around us and it will reflect in increased diseases and mental disorders and unexpected behavior.
