Tales Of South Delhi

  Janani Janmabhoomishcha: Freedom Rooted in Memory "अपि स्वर्णमयी लङ्का न मे लक्ष्मण रोचते । जननी जन्मभूमिश्च स्वर्गादपि गरीयसी ॥" "Even a golden Lanka does not tempt me, O Lakshmana.

It waves above the domes of Humayun's Tomb, the stones of Qutub Minar, the ancient walls of Mehrauli, the quiet pathways of Lodhi Gardens, and the bustling markets of Chandni Chowk, reminding us that freedom is not merely remembered—it is lived. Lord Rama's timeless declaration from the Ramayana reminds us that love for one's homeland is never measured in riches. A golden Lanka could never replace the warmth of home, the familiarity of one's people, or the memories woven into the land that shapes our identity. For Delhi, the idea of janmabhoomi extends far beyond monuments. It lives in the laughter echoing t...

Here is the breakdown of what happens when you soak these specific seeds, and why you don't need to throw that water out. The Science: Phytates and Enzyme Inhibitors Many people are told to discard soaking water because of phytic acid (phytates) and enzyme inhibitors, which naturally protect seeds until they are ready to sprout. In large amounts, phytates can bind to minerals (like iron and zinc) and reduce their absorption in your body. However, pumpkin, muskmelon, watermelon, and sunflower seeds are ver...

Gopal Verma, Greater Kailash-1   युञ्जन्नेवं सदात्मानं योगी नियतमानस:। शान्तिं निर्वाणपरमां मत्संस्थामधिगच्छति॥   In the Bhagavad Gita in chapter 6, which is known as Dhyan Yoga  (The Yoga of Meditation), Yogiraj Krishan defines dhyana as the practice of steadying the mind and fixing it on the Supreme/atman, withdrawing it from sense objects. Thus dhyan enables achievement of   atma-sakshatkara (self realization) which ultimately leads to yoga - union with the Divine. Dhyana is the meditation which is focused, sustained contemplation of the Self.  Bhagwan Krishan also instructs about performance of dhyan in various other shloks of the dhyan yog giving detail narrative of place, posture and process etc.  Regarding choosing a place to dhyan or to meditae Yogiraj  prescribes a clean solitary place with a firm seat, not too high or low, with kusha grass, deer skin, cloth to ...
