The zest for life keeps person young by Madhuri Nadig (DIYA for the globe).
It is not possible to reverse the age, but the zest for life can keep a person young all the time. For this purpose, the mind should be engaged in positive thinking. Since the mind and body are interrelated, activities of the mind influence the body and vice versa. As the body grows older, if the mind also thinks that it is getting older, then the person would undoubtedly age faster. However, the mind can remain young....

What is the Source of Immense Power?

Sitting near the fire warms and protects us even in harsh winter. Fire spreads the heat in the surrounding area. That way, our body also has heat in it. The clothes we wear also become warm by the heat of the body. This effect is more noticeable in winter by touching the clothes that we are going to wear. Wearing woollen clothes in winter protects the emission of body's heat outside and thus helps keeping the body at natural temperature. The body-system also possesses many other kinds of energies in it. But most prominent intense and radiant of the powers a human being is endowed with is thought-power.

Gayatri Anushthan: An inexhaustible source of spiritual energy
Sunday Oct 18, 2020
Sunday Oct 18, 2020
The scriptures prescribe that a Sadhak should perform Trikal Sandhya; that is, worship Gayatri three times every day (in the morning, at noon and in the evening). It is very beneficial if during worship, meditation on the effulgence of Gayatri is done intensively. For specific purposes, when more energy is required, Gayatri Anushthan is prescribed. When a long journey is proposed to be undertaken, special food and adequate money are saved for use in transit. Similarly, doing an anushthan is like saving money for a journey. When this energy capital is accumulated, the Sadhak’s journey through life, whether in mundane or spiritual pursuit, becomes easier and smoother. (From Akhand Jyoti Sept/Oct 2016)

Give Higher Direction to Life with Positive Thoughts

Saturday Sep 26, 2020
Thoughts have great power. A person becomes what he thinks because one begins to act according to the way he thinks, and gradually his personality begins to be shaped in the same way. But generally, due to the subtle nature of the thoughts, their power and impact could not be realized immediately, due to which most of the people either keep on wasting this power or use it in a negative way to bear the consequences later (Akhand Jyoti English - January / February 2020).

Wednesday Sep 23, 2020
Spirituality is a trendy word today and its usage is increasing rapidly in our daily life. On one side, we see many youths taking an interest in spirituality, while on the other hand, there are people who have misconstrued notions about it. Spirituality is the knowledge of the self, an understanding of oneself, and this is the secret of advancement. It gives a person a holistic understanding of his/her inherent strengths, weaknesses and talents. It helps him define goals of life and paves the way for prospering both in external and internal growth. (Akhand Jyoti English January/February 2020 http://literature.awgp.org/english/magazine)
