There was a time when we used watches to determine when to meet someone. Maybe also use them to fix up some group events and so on. That was about it. But how did we get from being the ones, setting up a time- to being enslaved by time! 

If we look around, most of us seem to be running- mostly at break neck speed. Running where? Running why? Sadly people don’t take the time to even stop and answer themselves, because they are worried they will be late for some event or miss out on the next "happening" thing.

​Slowly our life is totally governed by our watches. Part of being a “mover and a shaker” is supposed to be how busy our life is and how many activities and events we have going on?

What I am covering here is not about should you do/not many activities in a day. It is about truly “living your life” not just spending each day doing activities.

Even though life is a series of actions and activities, there are many other important dimensions to life and reducing our daily existence to merely work and tasks, reduces us to become slaves of time!

Previously we have looked at what the word Namah really means. Now, let’s look at Namaste. This is a very famous greeting that we commonly hear now-a-days in the new age crowd! So, what does Namaste really mean?

Namaste is made up of two root words: Nama and Asti. “Nama” means salutation or greetings and “asti” means our very essence. It also means the bones and our body’s skeletal structure, since it forms the very basis, the very essence of our bodies.

​So, then what does the word Namaste really mean and why do we greet another person with this particular word of greeting (instead of Pranaam- which is another word for greeting or salutation). Also, typically when we greet Namaste, we join our hands and bow our heads slightly in front of the other person. Are these mere traditions or is there some concrete meaning behind all this??

Vedic Culture being the scientific culture that it has been, there is reason and meaning behind each word and action.

​Then of course over time many of those actions became traditions and then over the very long history which has had cultural influences and onslaughts from moguls and the British, some of these traditions have either been superstitiously distorted or people have forgotten their real meaning and so many a times they seem like empty repetitions of dogmatic actions.

But it is good that India is now experiencing its own cultural renaissance and is working towards renewing and reviving its true and authentic culture and incorporating it with innovative technology and modernization. 

So anyways, coming back to Namaste. When we greet someone with the word namaste then we are acknowledging the divinity within them. It could be anyone- a friend, a foe, a stranger- but the very fact that they are alive; they have that divine essence within them- the Brahman or Paramatma which is the supreme consciousness. So, basically by greeting them Namaste we are acknowledging and paying respect to that divine essence within them. 

Then the next question comes up, why do we join hands in greeting and bend our head (bow slightly) when we say namaste?

Each of the fingers in our palms signify a certain element. Our bodies and for that matter everything in creation is made up of these five elements or tattvas as it is called in Sanskrit. I will do another video to explain that in detail- but coming back to why we join hands in greeting is that we bring all these five elements within us together.

These five elements are Fire, Air, Water, Earth and Ether called Agni, Vayu, Varun, Prithvi and Akash respectively. So, by joining our fingers we symbolically bring together all our own core building blocks- and why we do that? The key is held in the fact we bow our head slightly in front of the other person.

As we all know energy flows from high to low. Also, it is innate within us that when someone approaches us with humility it tends to instigate our own kindness and humility and we tend to be “kinder or nicer” than we would have been otherwise.

​So, when we bow to the other person, we are opening ourselves to receiving all the energy goodness from this other person and at the same time, if they do not feel those nicer emotions towards us, we are somewhere silently initiating their innate behaviors by approaching them with love, our own essence and humility.

So next time you say Namaste to someone don’t simply say it as another new age greeting word, but say it with this understanding that you are not only greeting the divinity within them, but you are approaching them with your own core essence and that you are bringing your own building blocks together and are approaching that individual or group of people with love and humility so that your interaction can be the highest that could possibly be in that scenario.

Doing this is powerful. If you consciously observe your interactions, you will notice that the ones where you initiated the discussions with Namaste went very differently, very positively than when you simply greeted them and proceeded with your conversation. 

It is true that in professional or business situations it is not possible to steer away from the norm of Hand-Shake. But then joining hands in fact allows for an even better flow of energy between individuals, so it makes it even more important, that you approach with your highest, most conscious and best intent. 

So, next time you shake hands with someone or even greet them verbally, do it while mentally greeting them Namaste- acknowledging the divinity within them- approaching them by brining your highest self and bending your head slightly in greeting, so as to be open to the energy flow between you.

There was a time when we used watches to determine when to meet someone. Maybe also use them to fix up some group events and so on. That was about it. But how did we get from being the ones, setting up a time- to being enslaved by time! 

If we look around, most of us seem to be running- mostly at break neck speed. Running where? Running why? Sadly people don’t take the time to even stop and answer themselves, because they are worried they will be late for some event or miss out on the next "happening" thing.

​Slowly our life is totally governed by our watches. Part of being a “mover and a shaker” is supposed to be how busy our life is and how many activities and events we have going on?

I know many people who have missed doing the things they love dearly or even hanging out with friends they deeply care about because, they are always “busy” and just don’t seem to have any time. “I wish I had the time” is such a common phrase now-a-days and time management books abound in the stores. After all we are all given 24 hours in a day and it is essential that we learn to properly manage this time and properly maximize the activities we do each day.

What I am covering here is not about should you do/not many activities in a day. It is about truly “living your life” not just spending each day doing activities. Even though life is a series of actions and activities, there are many other important dimensions to life and reducing our daily existence to merely work and tasks, reduces us to become slaves of time! 

Quantum science tells us that time is relative. It can expand or contract. Probably the more obvious examples are when we are happy, a day seems like a few minutes and when we are sad or upset then a few minutes seem like a lifetime. 

What we need in our lives is not only to manage time, but also to step out of Time. We need to reset our very perception of time so that we do not view it as a measure of our existence- but as something that allows us the ability to do something. After all we do things- in time.

​So time along with space is a dimension of our being-ness, and not just something we look at on our watches and clocks! 

Our modern lives have made us slaves to time and we exist as time-bound individuals constantly worried about doing activities and meeting timelines, but many a times we are not even really present doing those very activities we are eagerly seeking. We are already thinking of the next thing, even before we complete our current undertaking. 

When we step out of this time-bound consciousness, we get to experience timeless-ness. A boundless creation and a bound-less dimension of existence. Then when we re-approach our daily activities from this space (time and space have a co-relation in linear existence similar to electricity and magnetism- one cannot really exist without the other), we find that we actually get more done.

Our lives will then start to exhibit a type of boundless-beauty which can only come about after experiencing a higher dimension and we start to feel more at peace and at ease not just within our own selves and the myriad commitments we have in our life, but also with life itself.

Set aside some time each day to do an activity you absolutely enjoy, even if it is hanging out with a friend or reading a book; where you will not be watching the clock! Do the activity to your heart’s content and naturally stop it as you feel nudged from inside. 

Truly start living life to the fullest with all its dimensions and not just a day at a time filled with activities and events. Open up to life… open up to a world of possibilities…

​Vaastu Shastra is an ancient Vedic science for the placement and geometry of land, plots, buildings and other living spaces. Many consider it as the Indian Feng Shui. Though unlike Feng Shui, Vaastu also addresses the engineering and architectural points that need to be considered for building construction (depending on its proposed use). 

Though money may not be a solution for all of life's problems, it is definitely very sought after! Here we present 5 simple vaastu tips to attract more money into your life.

Even though we are on a spiritual path, most of us still have everyday jobs and duties. Unless you are living the life of a monk in a monastery, you probably are someone, who needs to earn an income and take care of your family.

​Folks like us, who live an everyday life have to also interact not just with friends and family- but also with many other people in the outside world, who may be living successful lives but could be unaware of their connected-ness to others and this cosmos!
 
This is exactly the reason, why I provide several helpful information that can help us in living comfortably! If you have not still seen our videos or read our articles on Comfort & Spiritual Living, then be sure to check them out.

As we know, all days are not the same. Certain days just seem to go smooth where things seem to flow in a nice manner and then there are other days where getting even the simplest thing done seems like a big achievement! 

Intuitively derived energy readings can help us to understand- what kind of energies are most probable for the day. 

The best time to utilize an Intuitive Guidance is when you need to understand "more" about a situation- for e.g. you are scheduled to attend an interview. In this case, an intuitive guidance can help you to understand more about the situation. How can you create a better impression or is there something that you need to do, so as to ensure a higher chance of success.

​Intuitive guidance can sometimes also give an indication to the outcome of the interview (i.e. if you will receive an offer /not), but it is not advisable to know that in advance, since then you will not do your best but your actions will be clouded by your knowledge of the outcome- if it is positive, you may take things for granted and thus invite failure and if  it is negative, then you may lose hope and not put your  hundred percent effort and turn around a losing situation to  a successful one.

​As people who are on the path of Conscious Living (i.e. those who choose to lead an aware and meaningful life)- we should not believe in some ‘destiny’ and succumb to fate but believe in taking appropriate action in accordance to the situation and energies surrounding it.   

After all, we live in a dynamic and living Universe, which responds to our actions and accordingly brings situations and transformations in our life!

The more you are living a conscious and evolved life, that much more, you will be able to govern how your life and life events unfold.
​
So now the question comes up, how do we ‘divine’ about any situation or event in our life? Stay tuned… I will cover that shortly in the coming posts…

We all go through times when it seems like the clouds will never move and we will never ever see sunshine again!!

But that is not the case- times do change. But, how do we find our inner strength, our true power to withstand all kinds of life situations and emerge a winner.
