All About Relationship- :

(Please don't forget to click on the YouTube link provided at the end to watch the video)

1. In life you’ll realize there is a purpose for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you, and some will teach you. But most importantly, some will bring out the best in you.

2. Keep people in your life who truly love you, motivate you, encourage you, enhance you, and make you happy. If you know people who do none of these things, let them go.

3. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring – all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

4. The most beautiful thing is to see a person you love smiling. And even more beautiful is knowing that you are the reason behind it.

5. Choose your relationships wisely. It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.

6. Being alone does not mean you are lonely, and being lonely does not mean you are alone.

7. Fall in love when you’re ready, not when you’re lonely.

8. Love means giving someone the chance to hurt you, but trusting them not to.

9. You know you’ve found true love when you catch yourself falling in love with the same person over and over again.

10. Don’t wait for the right person to come into your life. Rather, be the right person to come to someone’s life.

11. The one who is meant for you encourages you to be your best, but still loves and accepts you at your worst.

12. Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.

13. Some relationships are like glass. It’s better to leave it broken, than to hurt yourself more by trying to put it back together.

14. Just because one person doesn’t seem to care for you, doesn’t mean you should forget about everyone else who does.

15. Someone else doesn’t have to be wrong for you to be right.

16. It is okay to be angry. It is never okay to be cruel.

17. Never do something permanently foolish just because you are temporarily upset.

18. Silence is often the loudest cry. Pay attention to those you care about.

19. We don’t always need advice. Sometimes all we need is a hand to hold, an ear to listen, and a heart to understand.

20. It’s not so much what you say that counts, it’ how you make people feel.

21. A silent hug means a thousand words to the unhappy heart.

22. Don’t mess with someone’s feelings just because you’re unsure of yours.

23. True happiness comes from within, not from someone else. Don’t make the mistake of waiting on someone or something to come along and make you happy.

24. Don’t choose the one who is beautiful to the world, choose the one who makes your world beautiful.

25. If you feel like your ship is sinking, it might be a good time to throw out the stuff that’s been weighing it down

26. Let go of people who bring you down, and surround yourself with those who bring out the best in you.

27. Just because it didn’t last forever, doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth your while.

28. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Don’t expect others to read your mind, and don’t play games with their heads and hearts. Don’t tell half-truths and expect people to trust you when the full truth comes out. Half-truths are no better than lies. And don’t ignore someone you care about, because lack of concern hurts more than angry words.

29. Lies help no one in the long run. So… 1) Don’t say “I love you” if you don’t mean it. 2) Don’t say “I understand” if you have no clue. 3) Don’t say “I’m sorry” if you’re not. 4) Be honest with yourself and your loved ones.

30. Tell the truth, or eventually someone will tell it for you.

Everything about the JAYAPARVATI VRAT:

The Jaya Parvati Vrat begins. Good luck to all the girls who are doing JAYA PARVATI VRAT.

Jayaparvati Vrat is observed in Ashada Maas by unmarried girls and married women in Gujarat and some other Western India parts. This Vrat is a fasting ritual. It is observed for 5 days. It is then celebrated by an all night Jagaran or keeping awake. Unmarried girls perform this fast and worship Parvati to have good husbands in marriage. This is called Jaya Parvati Vrat because Parvati performed fasts to win Shiva as her husband.

Married women stay awake on the night of the last day of the Vrat and this staying awake is referred to as Jaya Parvati Jagran. It is also known as the Gauri Vrat.

There is a legend behind Jaya Parvati Vrat. There was a Brahmin couple and both were devotees of Lord Shiva. They had everything in their life except for a child. They used to worship Lord Shiva every day in the temple. Lord Shiva was pleased with the devotion of the couple and there was a revelation. It said, “My Shiva Linga is at a certain place in the jungle. Nobody is performing its puja. Your wishes will be fulfilled if you go there and perform its puja.”

The Brahmin couple went to the jungle and found the place where Shiva Linga was. The husband went in search for flowers for use in the puja. However, a snake bit him on the way and he fell on the road in an unconscious state. His wife was very worried. She prayed for her husband’s safety for several days. Lord Shiva saw the true devotion of this Brahmin woman and brought her husband back to consciousness. The couple continued to pray at the Shiva Linga. They were blessed with a son.

This was how Jaya Parvati Vrat originated. During Jaya Parvati Vrat, you cannot eat any foods with salt. No wheat products or vegetables are allowed either. Women perform this vrat for 5 or 7 years. Then, they celebrate it by inviting other women to their homes for a meal. It is believed that Jaya Parvati Vrat brings happiness to a family and a good husband for the girl doing the fast.

On the first day of the vrat, Javera (wheat seeds) are planted in a small bowl / pot and kept by the mandir in the house. Puja is then conducted with the javera pot and a “nagla” – a necklace of cotton wool decorated with kanku spots – which is placed around the edge of the pot to surround the javera. Every morning, after you have bathed, the same ritual is carried out and the javera is watered. The javera seeds will sprout and grow over the 5 days of the vrat.

A full puja is done at a Mataji (goddess) temple on the final day to break the fast and a full meal with salt and wheat can then be eaten. On the 6th day, after bathing, the javera are taken from the pot and planted in the garden.

This religious observance starts on the 13th day in the Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of the moon) in the month of Ashadha (July) and is observed for five consecutive days. A partial fast is observed during the five day period of the Vrata. During this Vrata eating any food with salt is avoided.

I advises you to recite the following mantra of Goddess Parvati. This will bring happiness and prosperity to you.

FOR THE WELLBEING OF HUMAN BEING:

PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IN THE LIMITED FRAME OF YOUR RELIGION, EDUCATION & ORDINATION:

Living on this universe is a continuous endless process only the generation is changed and happy truthful living must require a bond of healthy society is a universal truth find out by the saint & sagas during the Golden era of human life when the words like Hindus, Muslim, Christ etc. were yet to take place.

According to their set of thoughts, to which, we called it as Sanatan or Vedik tradition (parampara), all living things are part & portion of God whatever the place & position they are arranged at in His great & beautiful universe, and therefore, to establish full control on our mind and senses, and to fix the mind on the Supreme is the ultimate goal of Human life.

They strongly believe that a king and a sweeper are the similar basic elements towards the path of entire spiritual development of the mankind, and therefore, provided proper & due respect & importance to all persons.

They divided all human being according to the types & kinds of genes they carry by their birth in four castes (varnas) of Brahman, Kshatriy, Vaisya and Sudra and fixed their rights & duties so as to strictly follow four Ashrams, the idea of enjoying the world in a religious and regulated manner, followed by gradual retirement remains a powerful ideal. Each of the four ashrams has its specific duties. Ashram means "a place of spiritual shelter." Each stage of life is not only a natural part of the journey from cradle to grave, but a time at which spirituality can be developed.

The system of four ashrams say about the purpose of life, education, family values, renunciation and even ageism. All these stages resemble what happens in other societies & clarify all similarities & differences. They strongly agree with all those values which stand out for us and empower our personal reflection on how is our evaluation of these practices colored by our own world view and our own culture and upbringing?

1. Brahmachari (Student Life):

The brahmcharyashram, often away from the home (somewhat like a boarding school), was primarily intended for fostering spiritual values. Memorization and skill development were subsidiary to character formation and self-realization. Even sons of the royal family were expected to undergo this austere and rigorous training.

To be celibate and live a simple life, free from sense pleasure and material allurement.
To serve the guru (spiritual teacher) and collect alms for him.
To hear, study and assimilate the Vedas.
To develop all the appropriate qualities: humility, discipline, simplicity, purity of thought, cleanliness, soft-heartedness, and so on.

2. Grihastha (Household Life):

Traditionally some men remained lifelong celibates, either remaining as brahmacharis or immediately becoming sannyasis. Others were required to marry, extending their responsibilities to include wife, children, relatives, and society in general. This Grihasthashram is the only one permitting sexual gratification.

To make money and to enjoy sensual pleasure according to ethical principles.
To perform sacrifice and observe religious rituals.
To protect and nourish family members (wife, children, and elders).
To teach children spiritual values.
To give in charity, and especially to feed holy people, the poor, and animals.

3. Vanaprastha (Retired Life):

After the children have left home and settled, a man may gradually retire from family responsibilities and, with his wife, begin to focus his mind on spiritual matters. Often he goes on pilgrimage. His wife may accompany him, but all sexual relationships are forbidden. Vanaprasthashram literally means "forest-dweller."

To generally devote more time to spiritual matters.
To engage in austerity and penance.
To go on pilgrimage.

4. Sannyasa (Renounced Life):

This position is traditionally available only to men who exhibit the qualities of a brahmana. The man would leave home and family and was prohibited from seeing his wife again. Considered civilly dead, he was free to wander, living a life dependent on God alone. The sannyasis are conspicuous in their saffron dress. They are often called sadhus (holy people) – although today not all are genuine!

To fully control the mind and senses, and to fix the mind on the Supreme.
To become detached and fearless, fully dependent on God as the only protector.
To teach and preach the importance of self-realization and God-consciousness, especially to the householders, who often become distracted from their spiritual duties.

I AM AFRAID WHY TODAY WE ARE NOT STRICTLY FOLLOWING ALL THESE FOUR ASHRAMS?

IS IT NOT A YOGA OF WELL BEING FOR THE ENTIRE SOCIETY?

How to be blessed by the LORD OF THE UNIVERSE today and always:

Lord Shiva, the auspicious one is among the principal deities of Hinduism. Hindu scriptures strongly believes that the generator, the operator and the destroyer, Lord Shiva is the ultimate GOD and the origin of the universe, there was nothing His before and, oneday everything will ends in to Him.

According to Shaivism, one of the major traditions within contemporary Hinduism, Lord Shiva is the Supreme being who creates, protects and transforms the universe. The Sanskrit word "Shiva or Siva” means, "auspicious, propitious, gracious, benign, kind, benevolent, friendly". The roots of “Siva” in folk etymology are Si which means "in whom all things lie, pervasiveness" and va which means "embodiment of grace".

Shaivism sect believes that the highest form of Shiva is formless, limitless, transcendent and unchanging absolute Brahman, and the primal Atman (soul, self) of the universe. There are many both benevolent and fearsome depictions of Shiva. In benevolent aspects, he is depicted as an omniscient Yogi who lives an ascetic life on Mount Kailash as well as a householder with wife Parvati and his two children, Ganesha and Kartikeya. In his fierce aspects, he is often depicted slaying demons. Shiva is also known as Adiyogi Shiva, regarded as the patron God of yoga, meditation and arts.

Sitting on the tiger skin in padmasana pose(mudra), the iconographical attributes of Lord Shiva are the serpent around his neck, the adorning crescent moon, the holy river Ganga flowing from his matted hair, the third eye on his forehead, the trishula as his weapon, and the damaru drum. He is usually worshipped in the aniconic form of Lingam. Shiva is a pan-Hindu deity, revered widely by Hindus, in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

The word Shiva is used as an adjective in the Rig Veda (approximately 1700–1100 BC), as an epithet for several Rigvedic deities, including Rudra. The term Shiva also connotes "liberation, final emancipation" and "the auspicious one", this adjective sense of usage is addressed to many deities in Vedic layers of literature. The term evolved from the Vedic Rudra-Shiva to the noun Shiva in the Epics and the Puranas, as an auspicious deity who is the "creator, reproducer and dissolver". According to another etymology presented by Sharma with the Sanskrit root sarv-, which means "to injure" or "to kill", interprets the name to connote "one who can kill the forces of darkness".

Shiva meaning "The Auspicious One", also known as Mahadeva ("Great God"), is a popular Hindu deity. Shiva is regarded as one of the primary forms of God. He is the Supreme God within Shaivism, one of the three most influential denominations in contemporary Hinduism. He is one of the five primary forms of God in the Smarta tradition, and "the Destroyer" or "the Transformer" among the Trimurti, the Hindu Trinity of the primary aspects of the divine. The Sanskrit word Shiva comes from Shri Rudram Chamakam of Taittiriya Samhita of Krishna Yajurveda. It means "relating to the God Shiva", and this term is the Sanskrit name both for one of the principal sects of Hinduism and for a member of that sect. It is used as an adjective to characterize certain beliefs and practices, such as Shaivism. He is the oldest worshipped Lord of India. The other popular names associated with Shiva are Mahadev, Mahesh, Maheshwar, Shankar, Shambhu, Rudra, Har, Trilochan, Devendra (meaning Chief of the gods) and Trilokinath (meaning Lord of the three realms).

Shiva is known by many names such Viswanatha (lord of the universe), Mahadeva, Mahandeo, Mahasu, Mahesha, Maheshvara, Shankara, Shambhu, Rudra, Hara, Trilochana, Devendra (chief of the gods), Neelakanta, Subhankara, Trilokinatha (lord of the three realms), and Ghrneshwar (lord of compassion). The highest reverence for Shiva in Shaivism is reflected in his epithets Mahadeva ("Great god"; maha "Great" and deva "god"), Mahesvara ("Great Lord"; maha "great" and isvara "lord"), and Paramesvara ("Supreme Lord").

Shiva Sahasranama are medieval Indian texts that list a thousand names derived from aspects and epithets of a deity. There are at least eight different versions of the Shiva Sahasranama, devotional hymns (stotras) listing many names of Shiva. The version appearing in Book 13 (Anusasanaparvan) of the Mahabharata provides one such list.Shiva also has Dasha-Sahasranamas (10,000 names) that are found in the Mahanyasa. The Shri Rudram Chamakam, also known as the Satarudriya, is a devotional hymn to Shiva hailing him by many names.

According to Hindu mythology chanting of names of Lord Shiva regularly is the most powerful way to please Him and to get His blessings. Regular recitation of a selected 108 names of Lord Shiva brings peace of mind, makes you healthy, wealthy and prosperous, and keeps you away of all the evils from your life.
