*The Nobel & the Floor-Maid* The Tewksbury Institute in Massachusetts was known for housing the poor and ill.  A young girl named Anne was sent there after her mother’s death, as her behaviour was incorrigible – which means nobody could do anything about her. She would bite and scream, and throw her food at people. Even the doctors and nurses could not examine her properly. She would spit and scratch at them as they tried to get close. For this reason, she would often be put in a cage – something like a small prison cell, kept in the basement of an old section of the building. An elderly floor maid who worked there, observed all this and felt very sorry for the little girl. She would often think to herself, “I sure would hate to be locked up in a cage like that.” She wanted to help her, but didn't have any idea what she could do. She would wonder, “If the doctors and nurses cannot help her, what can someone like me do?" So, one night after work, she just baked a small cake...

  Everything is God  When Janaka discovered that all these days I was not knowing...example hologram ...one side nehru or other side you see Gandhi. Entire Universe is made of God...nothing is beyond foreign to God...divine. It needs skill to see it. Like bubble in water...waves in ocean. You need to skill it. Everything is name and Form. Name doesn't have form in it but the forms don't have name. People are like waves...they arise and disappear in water. They dissolve in space....in between names and forms..They rise and fall. Don't search for God. All that is God ,will be . All life are springing and dissolving in that. I am hollow and empty. I am all forms and all names but you are acting like someone else. Your true nature is joy or what you are perceiving is true. So,a skill is required. Tilt your eyes ..this is God...all universe. Dimension opposites are created...their co existence makes it complete. They all exist within God. Very difficult for peopl...

🍁 Chapter 2: THE FIVE PRINCIPLES (Part 1 - Freedom, suffering and bondage)    King Janaka wanted freedom immediately.    🌸 What restricted him? Why did he want freedom? He was living like us but not many of us want freedom!   🌸 One who is asleep doesn't feel bondage. Janaka has started feeling the bondage. *DO WE FEEL BONDAGE!!! ARE WE ASLEEP OR AWAKE!!*  What is this freedom?    🌸 *Freedom from fixed pattern in life* . One can go into these patterns infinite times without even being aware of them. E.g.: getting angry or being fearful and then later realizing situation could have been handled in a better way, committing same mistake again but may be with different people. Here our pattern is same, only people/events are changing but we behave in the same manner.(say today I got angry on my brother and later in a day I got angry on my boss but then realized may be I could have handled it properly, here people have changed but my pat...

Good Fat Bad Fat  I will like thank everybody for overwhelming response to my last post “Speechless Teens” about increasing suicidal tendency in teenagers. I have decided to move ahead with the same topic. Today will discuss a different aspect of the same topic. In last post we discussed about the virtual reality of internet & social media as a culprit for suicidal tendency in teenagers. It is said that “we are what we eat”. There has been a drastic change in our food habits especially in last 50 years. I will like to draw your attention towards the cause effect & analysis of this change on our behavioral pattern. Before that I will like to introduce you to our very own brain.       The Supercomputer  The average weight of an adult brain is 1400 gm. Brain has around 100 billion brain cells i.e. Neurons. If we start to count these neurons at the rate of one neuron per second it will take 3171 years to count all neurons in a single brain....

Act wise  -  Eat Rice Devastating Diabetes The deadly diabetes is increasing in India day by day. India currently represents 49% of the world’s diabetes burden, with an estimated 72 million cases in 2017 a figure expected to almost double to 134 million by 2025 . Industrialization and globalization accelerated India’s growth from 1990 till today. As per data from World Bank; India’s per capita income has gone up by 340% since 1990 to 2016. Over the same time period diabetes patients have increased 123 %. So developing India is also Diabetic India. There are a number of reasons for this situation increased intake of processed food, heavy consumption of carbohydrates, sedentary lifestyle, mental stress, genetic traits of Indians are a few of them.  Rice is often blamed for increase in blood sugar levels due to its high Glycemic index (GI) & Glycemic load (GL). As a doctor I can clearly see increasing apprehension of peoples towards rice. Rice was first culti...

Corn quer the world  This story started in America not long ago; but just ten years back. Two youngsters Ian Cheney and Curtis Ellis decide to do take charge of their life after finishing formal education. But at the same time they came across news saying “Their generation will be first in the American history which will have shorter life span than their ancestors and the reason behind this was the food they were eating”. They go to a scientist to confirm the authenticity of that news. The scientist examines their hairs in high tech machinery and tells them that the carbon atom in their hairs is derived from corn. They get surprised by the presence of corn in hair and decide to find out how corn has entered in their systems. They decide to cultivate corn in an acre of land in Iowa which is considered as corn capital of America. The documentary film based on their research is “King corn”. This 80 minutes documentary makes you laugh, asks some disturbing questions and at...

PCOS Polycystic ovarian syndrome म्हणजे काय?  सामान्यतः स्त्रीयांच्या बीजकोषात (ओव्हरी) दर महिन्याला एका ग्रंथीची निर्मिती होते. ही ग्रंथी महिन्याच्या मध्यावर फुटून त्यामधून बीजांड (ओव्हम) बाहेर येते. PCOS मध्ये हार्मोन्सच्या असंतुलनामुळे ही ग्रंथी फुटतच नाही, यामुळे बीजांड बाहेर येत नाही. तसंच अंडाशयात (ओव्हरी) अशा अनेक ग्रंथींची निर्मिती होतच राहते. म्हणून याला पोलि (अनेक) सिस्टिक (ग्रंथी) ओव्हरी सिंड्रोम असे म्हणतात                                               लक्षणं : - अनियमित पाळी, पाळीच्या वेळी अनियमित रक्तस्त्राव  - वजन वाढणं, विशेष करुन ओटी पोटाभोवती जाडी अधिक वाढणे -चेहऱ्यावर, ओठांच्या वर हनुवटीवर केस उगवणे - हातापायावर नेहमीपेक्षा अधिक केस उगवणे - चेहऱ्यावर पिम्पल्स येणे - सतत मूड बदलणे, चिडचिड होणे, सारखे रडू येणे - बद्धकोष्ठता -मानेची, काखेची, मांडयांची त्वचा काळी पडणे - केस गळणे - डिप्रेशन येणे - गर्भ न राहणे - इन्सुलिनच्या कार्यात ...

Do not follow me. In fact, you cannot follow me, because I am behind you to push you forward!  April 22, 1998, Zen Monastery Blois, France.  Do Not Follow Me Do not follow me. In fact, you cannot follow me, because I am behind you to push you forward! You have to leave everything behind & move ahead. All your past experiences, your relations- everything- is part of the past.  Leave the whole world of your memories behind- including me. Drop everything. I am there behind you. Move on. Stop looking for more & be free! Then compassion will flow from you. Q- When people do not follow anyone, isn't it usually out of fear or rebelliousness? Sri Sri: One type of Do not follow comes from fear or rebelliousness. Another type comes from heightened awareness. You cannot follow me because I am behind you & I am in you. For long you have been a sheep. Now it's time to be a lion. साप्ताहिक ज्ञानपत्र १५० २२ अप्रैल, १९९८ फ्रांस मेरा पीछा न करो मेरा पीछा मत करो।...
