Positive psychology and Sadhana
(Professor Vinod Nath)

Negative thoughts are just like infections and pose hindrances in spiritual growth and Sadhana.
Learn to manage thoughts!
To effectively manage negative thoughts, start by acknowledging them without judgment, identifying the specific thought, and then evaluating and challenging it. Replace the negative thought with a more realistic or positive one, and practice acceptance rather than resistance. Consider writing down your thoughts and working through the steps or seeking support from others, and if necessary, consider professional help.

आदेश आदेश!!
पहले योग का व्यवसायीकरण हुआ अब आध्यात्मिकता भी 9 या 99/- रुपए में मिल रही है इससे बेहतरीन अंग्रेजों की गुलामी ठीक थी? दूसरे शब्दों में कहा जाए तो हमारे जनमानस में आध्यात्मिक निरक्षरता है वह आध्यात्मिक और योग के मार्ग पर चलना नहीं चाहती है हमेशा हमारे लोग शॉर्टकट पर क्यों अपना ध्यान आकर्षित करते हैं कि थोड़ा सा पैसा दिया और हमारा सब सब काम बन जाए ऐसा कभी भी तरह संभव नहीं होगा। योग आध्यात्मिक क्रिया है इसके लिए हमें अपने शरीर और मानसिक स्थिति को समझाना पड़ेगा और अपने परिपेक्ष के हिसाब से काम करना पड़ेगा जैसे कि किसी हम जिम में जाते हैं तो अपने शरीर को परिपक्वता रूप से सुदृढ़ व स्वस्थ करने की कोशिश करते हैं वैसे ही योग की आंतरिक क्रियाएं हमारे लिए बहुत आवश्यक है क्योंकि सनातन पद्धति में दो ही तरह के शरीर कह गए हैं बाहरी शरीर और आंतरिक शरीर हम भारी शरीर के लिए बहुत काम करते हैं पर आंतरिक शरीर के लिए बहुत कम यही कारण है हमारे सनातन पद्धति धीरे-धीरे पिछले से निचले स्तर पर जाती आ रही है विचार कीजिए

RATH YATRA

The Rath Yatra, a major event in Odisha, draws thousands of devotees who gather to witness the magnificent chariots and participate in pulling them. Thousands of people pulled forward giant chariots from the 12th century Jagannath temple in Puri towards Gundicha temple, around 2.5 km away
Ratha Yatra, also known as the Chariot festival, falls either in June or in July each year. This festival attracts foreigners as well since it is globally acclaimed. Primarily, the festival of Ratha Yatra denotes equivalence and integration. It is a good opportunity for people to witness the divine being. Three divinities are worshipped on the festival day. They include Lord Balabhadra, who is the elder brother of Lord Jagannath; Subhadra, who is the sister of Lord Jagannath and Lord Balabhadra; and Lord Jagannath.

The divinities will be taken to the streets of the city of Puri so everybody can seek blessings. Each divinity has a chariot. While the chariot of Lord Balabhadra has 16 wheels, the chariot of Lord Jagannath has 18 wheels. Likewise, the chariot of Subhadra has 14 wheels. Jagannath Temple is believed to be the holiest temple in the country.
More than a religious function, the Jagannath Rath Yatra is a strong symbol of unity and brotherhood amongst people. People from all strata of society participate in the revelry by pulling the chariots with equal enthusiasm.

During this celebration, various communities get together to promote peace and harmony. To be noted, people from all categories couldn't visit the temple in the past; hence, this event was an endeavor to include more people.

SNAN (bath)

The term "Snana" in Ayurveda refers to bathing, a ritualistic and therapeutic practice that is essential to
preserving one's physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Ayurveda sees Snana as a holistic practice that
goes beyond simple body cleansing. It includes several ideas that are consistent with harmony and balance.
Snana is a technique that emphasizes the connection between the body, mind, and spirit. It has its roots in Ayurvedic medicine. According to Ayurveda, the choice
of water, temperature, and the manner in which one bathes can have profound effects on the Doshas that direct an individual's composition. In addition to
physical cleansing, the traditional practice of Snanaincludes the application of therapeutic ingredients such as oils, powder scrubs, and herbal infusions that are designed to balance Doshas and improve general well-being.
In Ayurveda, Dinacharya (daily routine) is the ideal sequence of steps to follow daily in order to lead a long and healthy life. Preservation of the health of the
healthy individual is the first aim of Ayurveda.
Dinacharya is one such practice to maintain the health of individuals. Snana is described as a part of Dinacharya by various authors in Ayurveda. A normal equilibrium f three Doshas is maintained by these daily regimens, which have a positive physiological effect on the proper functioning of the body system. Snana plays a major role in maintaining health, but its
significance and usefulness are still largely ignored.

Nine forms of Durga and Yogic Significance
(Prof. Vinod Nath)

The nine forms of Durga, also known as Navadurga, are revered in Hinduism and represent different aspects of the goddess Durga. Each form holds unique attributes and symbolizes various virtues, powers, and cosmic energies. While there isn't a direct correlation between the Navadurga and yogic practices, some interpretations suggest that these forms embody principles and energies that can be invoked in yoga and spiritual practices. Here are the nine forms of Durga along with possible yogic significance:

Shailaputri: She is the daughter of the mountains, often depicted riding a bull. Shailaputri represents the root chakra (Muladhara), which signifies stability, grounding, and the connection to the earth. Yogic significance: Grounding practices like asana, pranayama, and meditation can help connect with the stability and rootedness represented by Shailaputri.

Brahmacharini: This form represents the unmarried form of Parvati, symbolizing austerity and penance. Brahmacharini is associated with the sacral chakra (Swadhisthana), which governs creativity, emotions, and desires. Yogic significance: Practices focusing on balance, self-discipline, and channeling creative energy, such as pranayama, asana, and meditation, can resonate with Brahmacharini's attributes.

Chandraghanta: She is depicted with a half-moon on her forehead and rides a tiger, symbolizing courage and fortitude. Chandraghanta is often associated with the solar plexus chakra (Manipura), which governs willpower and self-confidence. Yogic significance: Practices that enhance self-confidence, inner strength, and courage, such as core-strengthening asanas, visualization, and mantra meditation, can align with Chandraghanta's energy.

Kushmanda: This form is believed to create the universe with her divine smile, representing cosmic energy and sustenance. Kushmanda is associated with the heart chakra (Anahata), which embodies love, compassion, and harmony. Yogic significance: Practices promoting love, compassion, and expansion of the heart center, such as heart-opening asanas, loving-kindness meditation, and pranayama, can resonate with Kushmanda's energy.

Skandamata: She is depicted with her son Kartikeya (Skanda) on her lap, symbolizing maternal love and protection. Skandamata is associated with the throat chakra (Vishuddha), which governs communication and self-expression. Yogic significance: Practices that promote clear communication, self-expression, and throat chakra balancing, such as chanting, singing, journalling, and shoulder-opening asanas, can align with Skandamata's energy.

Katyayani: This form is associated with fierce power and victory over evil. Katyayani is often linked with the third-eye chakra (Ajna), which represents intuition, wisdom, and inner guidance. Yogic significance: Practices that enhance intuition, inner wisdom, and activation of the third eye, such as meditation, visualization, trataka (steady gazing), and pranayama, can resonate with Katyayani's energy.

Kaalratri: She is the fierce and dark form of Durga, representing destruction of ignorance and negativity. Kaalratri is associated with the crown chakra (Sahasrara), which signifies spiritual awakening and connection to the divine. Yogic significance: Practices that facilitate spiritual awakening, surrender, and transcendence of ego, such as meditation, self-inquiry, and crown chakra activation techniques, can align with Kaalratri's energy.

Mahagauri: This form symbolizes purity and inner peace. Mahagauri is associated with the lunar energy and is often linked with the crown chakra (Sahasrara) or the higher chakras beyond the physical realm. Yogic significance: Practices that cultivate inner purity, serenity, and connection to the divine, such as meditation, pranayama, and surrendering to the higher self, can resonate with Mahagauri's energy.

Siddhidatri: She is the bestower of mystical powers and represents the culmination of spiritual evolution. Siddhidatri is associated with the integration of all chakras and the attainment of spiritual enlightenment. Yogic significance: Practices that facilitate spiritual growth, integration of chakras, and realization of one's true nature, such as advanced meditation, self-inquiry, and living in alignment with dharma, can align with Siddhidatri's energy.

While the Navadurga forms are primarily worshipping during Navaratri, their symbolism and attributes can inspire and enrich various aspects of practices, aiding practitioners in their spiritual journey toward self-realization and higher consciousness.

Navratre and SHVA SHAKTI
Adesh Adesh!
Navratri is a Hindu festival celebrated over nine nights, dedicated to the worship of the Goddess Durga and her various forms. It is observed twice a year, once in the spring (Chaitra Navratri) and again in the autumn (Sharad Navratri). During Navratri, devotees venerate the divine feminine energy, often referred to as Shakti, in her various manifestations.

Shiva and Shakti play significant roles in Navratri mythology:

Shakti: During Navratri, the focus is on worshipping Shakti, the divine feminine energy or the cosmic power that governs the universe. She is revered in her various forms such as Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati. Each day of Navratri is dedicated to one of her forms, and devotees perform rituals, prayers, and fasting to seek her blessings for prosperity, wisdom, and protection.

Shiva: While Navratri predominantly celebrates the divine feminine, Shiva, the masculine counterpart, also holds significance. Shiva is often depicted as the consort of Shakti, symbolizing the union of masculine and feminine energies. In some traditions, the first three days of Navratri are dedicated to the worship of Durga, the next three to Lakshmi, and the final three to Saraswati. The tenth day, Vijayadashami, celebrates the victory of good over evil, symbolized by the triumph of Durga over the buffalo demon Mahishasura.

The relationship between Shiva and Shakti represents the concept of Ardhanarishvara, where they are depicted as a single entity embodying both male and female energies, emphasizing the inseparable nature of the two cosmic forces.

During Navratri, devotees seek to awaken and harness the divine feminine energy within themselves, purifying their minds and bodies through various spiritual practices, including fasting, meditation, chanting, and attending elaborate ceremonies and rituals. The festival is a time for introspection, devotion, and seeking the blessings of the divine for spiritual growth and well-being.
