What is the reason that BJP couldn't touch the magic number of 272?

The elections concluded with much grandeur and the results were awaited with baited breath by all. The toppers looked upon it as achieving All India Rank with record numbers while others saw it as  an opportunity to gain lost ground. It was a very well fought election from the both sides.

Meditation – Chanting OM.

-



Namaste to all of you,

What is ‘OM’?

In Hinduism, OM is chanted almost in every mantra or stotra or divine recitation. It is part and parcel of the culture not just in Hinduism but also in Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. This word is not particularly attached to any religion but is considered the sound of the universe. Hinduism teaches that there is divine presence in every living being. This word however brings people together. 

When said collectively it connects our inner divine soul to the other person’s divinity. As it chimes with the universe in which we live, it connects all the living things or beings to the nature and to the universe. This is my personal experience when I had started attending yoga classes. The best part is that the recital of OM can be done either silently or even done while practicing Pranayams.

Benefits of OM:

I have had immense benefits after I started reciting this daily while practicing yoga. I have the habit of chanting various mantras every day when I say my prayers. But I never knew that chanting this syllable alone can reap me such great benefits.

  •  Relieved me of anxiety and stress: I used to get anxious about petty things and did not know how to handle it. But once I started with yoga, chanting OM degenerated my stress a lot and I regained my calmness.
  • Better Concentration: The concentration ability of my mind increased many folds. I used to get upset by the fact that I am unable to not finish a book as I used to get bored of it or my mind used to travel on its own adventure trips. Once I started with this, my mind stopped its adventure trips.
  • Control of blood pressure during pregnancy even otherwise: Pregnancy is period when advise pour in from all sides and we get pressured unnecessarily by the this. Due to this, our blood pressure fluctuates. But the recitation of OM along with pranayams and a few simple yoga poses eased my pregnancy a lot.
  • Better Breathing: The chanting of OM begins with inhaling as much air as possible but at the end of it the exhale is exceptionally long.  This practice of inhale – exhale increases our breathing capacity and is beneficial for lungs and heart. It relaxed not just my respiratory system but also my mind.
  • Reconnection with my inner soul or divinity: It helps me explore my inner self and reconnect with my soul. This leads to relaxation, happiness, and personal satisfaction not just on personal level but even on spiritual level.

When I started with the yoga class, the meditation lessons used to be early in the morning. I used to get a little clumsy and lazy in the first few classes but when I realized the benefits of it, I started not just enjoying it, but I used to get up early even before the sun would show up. This joy and happiness have translated in whatever work I that I do. Now even my daughter does it but not with precision as she is just five-year-old, but she enjoys it thoroughly. Chanting of OM is great way to begin the day. It really kick starts your day on a positive note.

I am not a yoga instructor or an expert in yoga. It is just that I have been practicing yoga for around ten years now after attending a yoga class. Friends, before performing yoga please take medical advice. Again, I would like to remind you all that I am neither a medical nor a healthcare professional. My advice on yoga cannot take the place of a medical practitioner. So please consult your doctor if you have any medical problems.

Remember to comment and follow me. You can also follow me on Koo App. I will be waiting to hear from all of you.

Bye.

Love you All,

Namitha

With love, to all parents. Parents are special.

Hi Everyone, This post is close to my heart. My parents and my In - laws are incredibly special to me. When I was a teenager, our school had various clubs and students were free to join whichever club they wanted. The club that I had joined had taken us on a trip to some park and then to an old age home. We were supposed to perform for them and spend time with them on that day. That day still holds good in memory. I can never forget those people who had so many stories to say about how they were thrown out of their homes by their children, and they did not even care to check on their well-being. Some old ladies were single mothers and had worked their entire lives so that they could provide good education, food, clothes, and all other comforts to their children. That day I had come home and hugged my parents and my grandmother and had shared the plight of the old age home with them. I had seen tears rolling down their eyes as well. I will never forget it my entire life. Today I am ...

How to Improve your Memory - Brain Power

 In our speech, sometimes, casually we say, "hey use your brain . " Sometimes, when being forgetful, ask ourselves, "have I forgotten something?"  Brain is a storeroom of memories, powerhouse of intelligence, architect of our creativity, adviser to our body and its movements, analyst of our senses and source of our emotions.  It contains a depository of memories right from our childhood to present and continues to save it all, till the we exist. We study and play as children, work when we are adults, pursue our hobbies, etc. For performing all these tasks, our brain needs to remain sharp and attentive. These abilities of the brain helps us in executing our actions to perfection.   It is necessary for all of us to sharpen our memory power and boost the functioning of our brain. As we age, it doesn't remain as sharp as it used to be in the past. Instead of complaining about old age, start right from your hay days to program your skills. I hope all of you will find...
