Yoga Hand Mudra Meanings, Explanations and Benefits.

Yoga Hand Mudra Meanings, Explanations and Benefits. While at yoga class or watching a yoga video, you may have noticed certain hand movements that are held while in a pose or during meditation. These are called Hand Mudras, and they have a specific and deliberate purpose. In this post, I’ll demonstrate various mudras and explain their meanings and benefits. What is a Mudra? Mudra is Sanskrit for seal, mark, or gesture. Typically, mudras are used during meditation or prana yama as a way to direct energy flow in the body. According to yoga, different areas of the hand stimulate specific areas of the brain. By applying light pressure to these areas of the hand, you will “activate” the corresponding region of the brain. In addition to the “reflexology” aspect of hand mudras, these positions symbolize various feelings, emotions, and states of being. Hand positions play a part in many societies and religions. The Christian church uses many hand movements during mass – all of which symbo...

Washington (USA) : One of the biggest Hindu temples in the US, built at a whopping cost of $100 million (Rs.543-Cr) near the Hollywood city in Los Angeles has become a major draw for its grandeur and environment-friendly design, since its inauguration. The 68th Swaminarayan temple of Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) has been built using 35,000 pieces of meticulously hand carved Italian Carrara marble and Indian Pink Sandstone, temple officials said.

Entire family arrested and driven out of home in Muslim majority village for opposing sexual harassment

Save Hindu Girls from rape Jihad Mrittika (name changed), student of Class XII at Khaiberia Vivekananda Vidyapith, and living in village: Mithapukur, P.O. Buita, P.S. Budge Budge District: 24 Paraganas (South) didn’t imagine ever that her lone protest against sexual harassments by Amirul Sheikh, embroiderer by profession (s/o Sheikh Haidar Ali – worker in a nearby manufacturing plant), would bring a disaster on her whole family. Amirul Shiekh, to be precise, was hell-bent to take hold of Mrittika at any cost and with this end in view, he used to proffer marriage proposals to the Hindu girl for all time. Mrittika, badly shaken, used to reject the offer at each time. On June 11, 2013, Amriul Sheikh went to the residence of Mrittika all alone to take her away. Family members of Mrittika, stunned at this audacious approach of his, asked people in the neighborhood to deal with the issue. Leaders of both communities assembled in the residence of Sukhendu Bikash Sardar (fat...

Golden Ratio, SriYantra and Kuber's Treasure

Golden Ratio, SriYantra and Kuber's Treasure Hello Readers, Happy New Year 2011! I have just revamped my Gandhi Stamps and Philatelic Materials website. Now it has an all-new design, with user friendly features that can help you navigate through the countries that have honoured Gandhiji easily. Please have a look: http://gandhistamps.com Last month (December 2010), Notion Ink, a Bangalore based company formed by IITians launched Adam, a notepad that has been termed as an iPad killer. Notion Ink is an indigenous Indian company that had built up a lot of expectations from its users all over the globe due to its superior product offering and lower price. The personal connect they had with their blog-followers did pay off, and the high-end version of Adam was sold out within a day of its release. I am sure all of us feel proud that a new, wholly India-based company could conceptualize, design, market and deliver such a world-class product. Th...

NDTV & Tehelka - Faking Limits

A political witch-hunt is usually to destroy someone’s political career. But in India the single biggest hunt is not just to destroy someone politically but to also protect the misdeeds and failures of some. When it comes to such a hunt both  NDTV  and  Tehelka  are like a tag-team. It’s not a secret that both these outlets are Congress doormats. Instead of the usual explanation let’s also go through a pictorial of this by NDTV & Tehelka. Here’s a pic from  WeAreTheBest . One of the first things that the Congress govt did on returning to power in May 2004 is to restore the broken-down Tehelka. Well, after all this propaganda magazine had helped targeting the Congress opponents. Since then Tehelka has been repaying the debt by helping Congress in targeting all its opponents. Tehelka is famous for using prostitutes as decoys in their sting operations. I guess that practice turned their journalism itself into prostitution. So on June 7, in ano...

A tiny terrier has taken on the role of guide dog for a blind Labrador.

Something that I came across today and really had to share with all of you... I can relate more with this as I see the greatest bond both my dogs have, they are literally inseparable! -------------------------- -------------------------- ------------------ A tiny terrier has taken on the role of guide dog for a blind Labrador. -------------------------- -------------------------- ------------------ Little Milo acts as Eddie’s eyes when the pair are out and about – and carefully leads him back to owner Angie Baker-Stedham when they’ve finished playing. Milo has even been known to gently pull Eddie along by his lead. Baker-Stedham, from Cardiff said: "Before Eddie went blind they both used to chase after dog toys, but now Eddie relies on Milo to help him play and they love going into the woods. "Milo has always got his eye on Eddie and even sits on Eddie's back when he lies down. "I first noticed that Eddie was going blind last year when he started to walk into whe...
