They are gradients of divinity. </blockquote>The day or muhūrta on which a festival is celebrated is a particularly auspicious time to access the divine through meditation, pūjā and arcanā. While anytime is good for meditation, some time periods are much better, just like any place is good for pūjā but some kṣetras have special power in them. Similarly, though all language ultimately originates in Śab..." Tag: Visual edit

The main festival was celebrated on the night of pūrṇimā when Holikā dahan was done, which is often known as ‘Choti Holī’ these days. The next day people would play with color and was called as Dhulenḍī which was on paḍvā, the first day of the next cycle of the moon. Like most important festivals, Holī sat on the confluence of two seasons. It was celebrated..." Tag: Visual edit: Switched

As the holy banks of the Sarayū of Ayodhyā recede in the distance, the city in which Śrī Rāma was born - the city in which He played with is mothers, the city which He was once destined to rule - as that city receded in the distance, tears come to..."

The unfortunate aspect of her remark is not that she uttered this statement so blatantly, demonstrating sheer ignorance of history, but rather that her own parents had immigrated to the United Kingdom from the countries that were left ravaged by British colonization. While Braverman has her o..."

Altekar, the objective of Vedic education was to approach knowledge as “''a third eye of man, which gave him insight into all affairs and taught him how to act. In the spiritual sphere, it led to salvation; in the mundane sphere, it led to all-round progress and prosperity.''” The illumination achieved by such education “''dispelled all delusions, eliminated obstacles, and enabled students to recognize life’s true values''” (Sharma &..."

It was an integral part of the Indian theory of knowledge and the corresponding scheme of life and values. It is no surprise, then, that learning has long been valued and pursued in India, not only as part of dharma and philosophy, but for its own sake—knowledge itself was a pursuit. It was held in such high regard that those who completed their..."

Rudolph Steiner, an Austrian philosopher and educationist, and a lifetime student of science and spirituality, found in Vedas ‘the archives of Hindu wisdom’ which according to him, even if not in its original form, gives: ''A faint idea of the sublime doctrines of the ancient teachers….and only the gaze of a cla..."

Svāmī Vivekānanda’s educational ideas cannot be analyzed without stressing the significance his guru, śrī Rāmakṛṣṇa Paramahaṃsa, had in his life, who discovered the genius in him.

''“If you can control the psyche of a people, then in a sense, you don’t even have to have a police force,”'' he proclaimed, peering into the depths of colonialism’s brutal impact on the minds of the colonized. For colonialists, the dominance was not merely a matter..."

With regard to publications related to the discipline of Vṛkṣāyurveda, it has been noted that while the term “Vṛkṣāyurveda” was initially introduced in Kautilya’s Arthaśās..."

Food is crucial to health and well-being on a psychological, physical, and mental level. The classical texts of Āyurveda of 300 BCE – 700 CE dedicate elaborate sections to foods, classifying them according to their various qualities, their composition and effect on the body. T..."

The ontology, or perception of reality, is an inside-out process starting from the Self which directly contacts the objects of perception. Knowledge of any object in the parā or aparā realm is an access to Brahman. Hence, any activity can be a route to mokṣa in Indian traditions. Ananda..."
