Efflorescence Nepal !

Nepal !

"Without being judgmental, or implying a partial decision, if I had a choice to choose a place, at birth, I would definitely choose Nepal."

I am highly influenced by the cosmopolitan view of humanity, that we all are a part of the plant, we are one connected family, not just a part of the singular country, or a state. A human is a phenomenon of earth, so he is of earth, and the earth is of him. The distinction, division and difference that we put ourselves into is an ugly act of a deep rotted system that we have raised along the years of cultural evolution. 

Being born in Nepal, I have been raised in a very natural state of mind. My family made me understand that religion is for union. I grew in a spiritual environment, in a deeply spiritual country, not in the sense of divided religion. I was always fascinated to understand the science behind the religions, Buddhism and Hinduism, which was present around me. If one correctly understands the wisdom of these religion, they are one. All the religion around the world in its pure sense of wisdom, tells us the same truth. 

I was surrounded by mighty heroes of these religion, From Krishna to Buddha, they have inspired me to become who I am today. They taught me about honesty, integrity, trust, love, and importantly one-ness. Yes, there are people who tend to present them as gods, but for me they were my friends, my lovers. I was in love with these magnificent humans. 

In Hinduism, Religion means "Dharma", the literal meaning of the word "Dharma" is eternal truth of life, so religion is the eternal truth of life. The Buddhist meaning of "Dharma Chakra" means the cycle of life, the cycle of impermanence. These governing philosophies of religion in Nepal, must be the reason for Nepalese people to be at a higher level of easiness. With 16-18 hours of load-shedding a day, Nepalese people are so calm and peaceful. Yes, the need of physical development cannot be denied at all, but the easiness in Nepal is a very rare one. 

I at times question the physical meaning of development. Because the more a country becomes physically developed, people tend to loose the purity of smile, life become an act of survival rather than a celebration. Life becomes an obligation, that might be the reason, why people of developed country are highly depressed, and they come to Nepal for a natural retreat. Many foreigners that I have met from so called developed countries define Nepal as the best country they have ever been. 

Nepal, is a country of magic and mystery. It has the most diverse climatic condition in the world, along with the flora and fauna, and importantly the taste of life. From the chills of mountains to the feel of desert, Nepal has it all. Amazingly, out of 10 highest peaks in the world, 8 of them are in Nepal. The highest physical feast to the eyes is seen from Mount Everest.

Nepal, is the absolute meaning of yin and yang. Its harmony and natural feel blows anyone away. And you never get tired of waking up with mountains around you, it never happens.

You might not have heard of the ancient Greek symbol called 'Ouroboros'. But you should, because it is one of the most fascinating symbol. The Ouroboros is a Greek word meaning 'tail devourer,' and is one of the oldest mystical symbols in the world. It can be perceived as enveloping itself, where the past (the tail) appears to disappear but really moves into an inner domain or reality, vanishing from view but still existing.  Alchemical Symbol of Ouroboros Ouroboros is generally depicted as a Serpent or a Dragon biting its own tail. The first recorded history of such symbol is in Egypt at around 1600 BCE in the texts called    Enigmatic Book of the Netherworld. The symbol moved from Egyptians to Phoenicians and finally to Greeks. Where the symbol got its name OUROBOROS.  The symbol and the myth regarding the symbol is famous all over the world. In the Norse mythology its called Jormungandr. And in the Hindu mythology its related to the Kundalini Jagaran.

Heraclitus was a Greek philosopher of Ephesus. He is possibly the first Greek philosopher to explain the unity in all experience. And how change is the only constant in the universe. Heraclitus is also sometime known as the Philosopher of Riddles. For many people don't understand him. Heraclitus introduced the world with the word 'Logos', which means that 'all things are one in some sense'. Even the opposites are needed for the occurrence of action. Heraclitus explained that change is the core of all things. And within the changing framework lies the unity of opposites.  Heraclitus by unknown artist  Osho in the book Hidden Harmony praises Heraclitus as the greatest Buddha of the world. He says,  Heraclitus is one of the greatest Buddhas of the world. In western philosophy his name is not part of the mainstream. The mainstream consists of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Bertrand Russell, Wittgenstein, Moore. Heraclitus is something like an

The Concept of Equanimity !

Equanimity comes from a Latin word æquanimitas, which means to have an even mind. But the concept goes much deeper. Much of all ancient philosophies and religions talk about equanimity. Aequss meaning even, and Animus meaning mind/soul.   Marcus Aurelius, one of the stoic philosopher and an emperor in his book Meditations stated that: When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity, lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it. In the context of Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) Equanimity is used to describe the Brahman Nature. In more detailed understanding since the Brhaman cannot ever be explained. We can just rejoice its being. Hence Equanimity means the unattached and undisturbed being'ness. Which is what we all are primarily as. Not the state of mind which we exist upon but the pure sense of nature. The real nature. So, equanimity can
