Kashmir Śaivism is one of the most profound non-dual (Advaita) traditions of Indian philosophy — a luminous synthesis of metaphysics, mysticism, and practical spirituality . It arose in medieval Kashmir (8th–12th century CE), particularly through the works of sages like Vasugupta , Utpaladeva , Abhinavagupta , and Kṣemarāja . Absolute Consciousness (Śiva) is All That Exists The ultimate reality is Śiva , pure, infinite Consciousness (Cit) — both transcendent and immanent . Everything you perceive — thought, object, emotion — is Śiva’s own vibration (Spanda) . The world is not an illusion (as in some Advaita Vedānta views), but a real expression of the divine consciousness. “Everything is Śiva, appearing as everything.” Spanda — The Divine Vibration The universe is not static; it’s dynamic pulsation of awareness . Every sensation, breath, emotion, and movement is Śiva’s throb of creative energy (Śakti). The yogi’s task is to attune to this subtle vibration — to feel...

The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali are not just an ancient text but a remarkably precise manual for mental clarity, moral strength, and inner freedom. Below is a summary and secular interpretation , with practical implementation tips and reflective quotes suitable for modern daily life — physician, parent, or anyone seeking balance.  1. Samādhi Pāda — The Nature of Yoga “Yogaḥ citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ” Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind. The mind continually ripples with thoughts, emotions, and perceptions ( vṛttis ). Through steady practice ( abhyāsa ) and detachment ( vairāgya ), these ripples quiet down, revealing pure awareness. Obstacles like doubt, laziness, restlessness, and disease disturb the path — to be countered with clarity, devotion, and discipline. 2. Sādhana Pāda — The Path of Practice “Tapas svādhyāya īśvara-praṇidhānāni kriyā-yogaḥ” Discipline, self-study, and surrender form the path of action. Introduces the Eight Limbs (Aṣṭāṅga Yog...

Life is, after all, a story of Love. Love struggling in between the unformidable giants of fragility and mortality. Love's solace comes from its being a dreamer, a. dreamer of divine beauty and its eternal Presence. I find this echoed in the poems of  Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926), a Bohemian-Austrian poet, essayist, and novelist, one known for his most introspective, lyrical, and spiritually profound writings. He tries to transcend the human experience of love, art, solitude, suffering, and death as portals into the divine. Born in Prague, Rilke grew up in a strict Catholic household but was drawn early to art and mysticism.  His masterpiece collections, Duino Elegies and Sonnets to Orpheus ,  explore how human fragility, love, and mortality coexist with divine beauty and eternal presence. Rilke lived much of his life in solitude, seeing it as the necessary condition for artistic and spiritual awakening. He died in 1926 from leukemia, leaving behind a body of wor...

  In the world of cards, “Joker's wild” means that the Joker can become anything — it is freedom, chaos, and unpredictability disguised as play. It doesn’t follow the rules; it bends them. It’s the card that makes the game uncertain, and therefore alive. The King of Hearts , on the other hand, stands for nobility, love, and emotional truth — the sovereign of feeling. Yet, even he is called the “suicide king” because, in the old deck, he seems to drive his own sword through his head. It’s a haunting image: the heart-led one undone by his own passion. So when Céline Dion sings “King of Hearts, Jokers wild” in “Immortality,” the phrase feels like a mirror of life itself. Love — sincere, tender, regal — plays its hand in a world ruled by chaos. The heart may be noble, but the game is wild. Metaphorically, it speaks of the human condition: Love ruled by unpredictability. A soul of sincerity surrounded by tricksters. A noble heart navigating shifting rules. The tension between ...

Satisfaction  It's a satisfaction to do what you know you should do. It's a frustration when you don't know what to do. It's hell when you know what you need to do and can't do.

The crescendo of tempo: There’s a rare kind of magic in songs that build gradually — where the melody starts soft and tender, then slowly swells with emotion until it feels like the heart itself can’t contain it anymore. It’s not just about tempo; it’s about the unfolding of feeling — the gentle rise of strings, the deepening of the voice, the subtle layering of instruments that mirror the growth of emotion within you. At first, it’s as if the song whispers — it pulls you in gently, making space for your own quiet reflection. Then, as it grows, something inside begins to stir: a warmth in the chest, a tightening in the throat, a sense of longing and release. When the song finally reaches its peak — that soaring note, that crash of harmony — it’s cathartic. You don’t just listen anymore; you feel . It’s like standing on a hilltop as the wind rushes past — a moment where sound and soul become one. Take “The Power of Love” and "Immortality" by Céline Dion . It begins with inti...

  बदलिँदो आकाश । बादलका टुक्राहरु, छुट्टीछन्  , मिल्छन् मिल्छन्, छुट्टीछन् अनि फेरि मिन्छन्। झरी  बनेर बर्सर्छन्।

मेरो प्रेम कहानी । कुनै नवयोवना, मेरो अंगालोमा यसरि आउछिन् अनि मलाई प्रेम गर्छिन् । म मदहोस भएर उसलाई प्रेम गर्छु। फेरि सोच्छु; उनी पनि बिस्तारै बुढी हुनेछिन्। कुनै दिन रोगी हुनेछिन्। कुनै दिन आलप हुनेछिन्। अनि मैले होश सहित, गहिरो प्रेम गर्न थाल्छु।
