जिंदगी जीना कुदरत से सीखो

कुदरत क्या कहती है, क्यों कहती है,  और कैसे कहती है?  यह तो ऊपर बाले की आवाज़ है जिसको कोई मिटा नहीं सकता.
दोस्तों हम सबको कुदरत और मनुष्य का क्या सम्बन्ध है ये तो पता ही है. यह सम्बन्ध अध्यापक और शिष्य की तरह है. मेरा तो यह मानना है कि प्रकृति ही हमारी सबसे बड़ा गुरु है. यह हमें हर पल कुछ न कुछ सीखाती रहती है बस जरूरत है तो थोड़ा ध्यान देने की. आज तक मनुष्य ने जो कुछ भी हासिल किया वो प्रकृति  से सीख लेकर ही किया है. प्रकृति हमे ऐसे गुण भी सीखाती है जिससे हम अपने जीवन मे सकारात्मक परिवर्तन ला सकते है और अपनी जिंदगी को ओर बेहतर बना सकते हैँ. बैसे तो हम हर क्षण मे कुदरत से कुछ ना कुछ सीख सकते है जैसे कि:-

पतझड़:-कभी-2 हमारे साथ कुछ ऐसा घटित हो जाता है जिससे हम अपने आप को उदास कर  लेते है. ऐसा लगता है कि अब कुछ नई  हो पायेगा. जरा सोचिये पतझड़ के समय जब पेड़ मे ऐक भी पत्ती नही बचती है तो क्या उस पेड़ का अंत हो जाता है? वो पेड़ हार नही मानता, वो पेड़ अडिग हो खडा रहता. कुछ समय बाद ही उसमे नयी पत्तियाँ आनी शुरू हो जाती है और फिर से बहार आ जाती  है। बसंत आने पर उसमे फिर से फूल खिलना शुरू हो जाते हैँ. यही प्रकृति  का नियम है. ठीक इसी तरह अगर हमारे जीवन मे कुछ बुरा पल आए तो इसका मतलब अंत नही बल्कि यह इस बात का इशारा है कि हमारे जीवन मे भी नयी बहार आयगी। अत: हमे सब कुछ भूलकर नयी जिन्दगी की शुरूआत करनी चाहिये. यह  विश्वास रखना चाहिए कि नयी जिन्दगी पुरानी से कही बेहतर होगी.

पर्बत:-जब कोई मनुष्य पर्वत की ऊँची चोटी से जोर से आवाज लगाता है तो वही आवाज वापस लौटकर उसी को सुनाई देती है. यही नियम हमारे जीवन मे भी लागू होता है. हम वही पाते है जो हम दूसरो को देते है. हम जैसा व्यवहार दूसरो के लिये करते है वही हमे वापस मिलता है यदि हम दूसरो का सम्मान करते है तो हमे भी सम्मान मिलेगा. यदि हम दूसरो के बारे मे गलत भाव रखेँगे तो वो वापस हमे ही मिलेगा. अत: आप जैसा भी व्यवहार करे याद रखिये कि वो लौटकर आपको ही मिलने वाला है.
तो दोस्तों कुदरत से बहुत कुछ सीखा जा सकता है जिसको हम अपनी सकारात्मक जिंदगी मे अपना सकते हैं.

INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM NEEDS DRASTIC CHANGES

In India, the existing education system must need some changes for effective outcomes. When children are in second and third classes then they are asked for craft or paint something whatever the teacher assigned them. Sometimes children are not able to complete the given task but their mother or sibling will do the same work. It is not good because children are getting nothing from the assigned homework. Now come to middle or high classes where students are taught about ancient history. It is good up to some extent because what is the need to know about Babur, Humayun Akbar, and so on in detail. Think about what we are getting by knowing these dynasties. Some peoples say this history must be known to everyone, they think this will come in government competitive examination. It is ok but we should have to change this system because not all will become government employees.

Now come to the intermediate classes means +1 and +2,  students opt for subjects by their own choice. It is good because they can do or learn more in which they have passion. Sidewise one yoga subject must be included in the classes from 9th onwards. This subject gives students the strength to face any situation in life. At least one yoga teacher in every school must be appointed so that students learn more about the benefits of yoga and exercise. Remember the ancient Gurukul time when Dhanwantri, Dhronachraya, and Pandwaas were very talented to generate any energy whatever they want. It was due to their consistency in yoga and meditation. These people were never suffered from any health issues.

So add such subjects in the education system by which students can learn about the surroundings and society. It is bad to be indulged full day in the study this may leads problems to the students. As these days technology is at its peak so all we are using mobile phones. It has benefits if we use these electronic items up to a particular limit but students using them for gaming and social purposes. Many students become addicted to online games. These online games have many side effects on the body if they are to be played for a long time like cervical, back pain problems.
Mobile phones should be banned in schools and colleges during study time. Students are spoiling their crucial time for the use of Whatsapp, Facebook, Insta, and other social sites. It is better to play some physical games instead of mobile games by which body fitness remains good.
Some other changes must be required to implement effective higher education policies. Here more attention is paid to the admission policies in the central university like Delhi, Panjab, and many others.  Every time we listen 99% and 98% cut-off exit to get admission in government colleges. Suppose a student is not good in handwriting then he or she will not get a chance to get admitted to a government college because the student is not on the cut-off marks. Moreover, there must be an entrance exam to get admission in a government college rather than based on the school percentage.
After graduation, students want a job for the fulfillment of daily needs. Many students are not getting a job immediately after the course completion. There is nothing wrong with that, unplaced students can try in other companies and sectors if still, they are not getting a job then try somewhere else. As we know a proverb "Try again and again until we succeed". A job depends upon student's endeavor how much they are doing efforts for getting a job. More practical subjects must be taught during graduation because if they are not getting a job then they can do their own work for the settlement of life. It is better if students are taught for the practical application so that they can learn and serve the country. So, these were some initiatives that can be incorporated into our education system which might be effective to overcome the obsolete trend.

Happy life with daily busy routine

These days human life becomes more hectic, more technology-friendly, full of stress, and polluted. These changes are not good for long and disease-free life. More people are becoming sick, stressed or unhappy these days as compared to the thousands of years of history of mankind. As we know one proverb "Health is Wealth". if our body is good then we can do whatever we want properly. In many ways, we can maintain a healthy life with our daily busy routine. 

Remember the ancient times when people's age is nearly 100 years. But these days it is around 65 years due to the recent use of pesticides in agriculture to get more production. As we are familiar with some diseases like heart attack, different cancer, and brain hemorrhage etc. From where these are coming. I think we are ourself responsible for these diseases.  Also, the lifestyle of a human being is changed due to a busy life, but we have to maintain our good health first. Heavy use of technology, stress, pollution, less physical activities, bad food habits are some of the factors which are responsible for the unhealthy and unhappy population. Use organic and ayurvedic products as much as possible. Not totally dependent upon the allopathy medicines whose results are very fast but also have many side-effects. So, avoid these medicines and try to overcome your problem with ayurvedic products or by yogas.

Here I suggest some ways to survive a healthy life:-

Running/Fast Walk is good to reduce the overweight of the body. In cities, there is less number of os garden are present, for them Gym facility is available. People who are residing in the rural type area can use a natural good climate and road sidewalk which is very effective.

Surya Namaskar is very effective which covers almost 12 exercises. Do it 15 times daily then increase it slowly. We can do it in the number of slots means first do it by 10 times then again by 5 times. A learner can search on the internet for the same.

Prana means breath and aayam means control.  Usually controlling your breath in different ways is called Pranayama. There are many types of pranayama and all of them only focus on breathing. Walk up early in the morning and do some Yogas/Exercise on a daily basis routine. Oxygen is the most important thing required for living than food and water. We can survive without food and water for some days but we cannot live without oxygen. Intake fresh air as much as possible, this can be done by Kapalbharti and Anulom Bilom pranayam. These two are the best pranayamas for the intake of fresh air. There are many more Yoga and pranayams, given by Baba Ramdev with tips and results. Videos are available on youtube or books can be used for the learner. Make a daily routine, do these two pranayams for 10 minutes each, and then increase the time slowly. Then observe the results after some days you will feel freshness or activeness in your body

Stretching/Yoga is also good to reduce stress. There are different ways of stretching. 

Play an outdoor game that has more workouts. Make it your habit.

Be Happy Be Young!

Prachin Sada Shiv Dhyunsar Mahadev Mandir Una, Himachal Pradesh

SADA SHIV जिला ऊना के प्रमुख धार्मिक स्थलों में से एक तलमेहड़ा के सदाशिव मंदिर की विशेष धार्मिक मान्यता है कि पूरा वर्ष यहां लाखों की तादाद में श्रद्धालू नमन करने और भगवान शंकर की आराधना करने के लिए पहुंचते हैं। मान्यता है कि करीब 5500 वर्ष पहले महाभारत काल में पांडवों के पुरोहित श्री धौम्य ऋषि ने तीर्थ यात्रा करते हुए इसी ध्यूंसर नामक पर्वत पर शिव की तपस्या की थी। भगवान शिव ने प्रसन्न होकर दर्शन देते हुए वर मांगने को कहा था जिस पर ऋषि ने वर मांगा कि इस पूरे क्षेत्र में आकर उनके द्वारा स्थापित किए गए ध्योमेश्वर शिव की पूजा करने वाले की मनोकामनाएं पूरी हों। मान्यताओं के मुताबिक भगवान शिव तथास्तु कह कर अंर्तध्यान हो गए थे।

मंदिर के वर्तमान पुजारी उत्तराखंड के सिद्ध राज शास्त्री के मुताबिक 1948 में पहली बार जिला के इस सबसे ऊंचे स्थल पर मौजूद पवित्र शिवलिंग के स्थान पर शिवरात्री का आयोजन किया गया था। 1988 तक स्वामी ओंकारानंद गिरी जी इस मंदिर का संचालन करते रहे उनके उपरांत मंदिर समिति इसके प्रबंधों का जिम्मा संभाले हुए हैं। यहां करीब 5000 से अधिक क्षमता के लंगरहाल के साथ-साथ जगह-जगह श्रद्धालुओं के बैठने के लिए अच्छी व्यवस्था की गई है। जिला के सबसे खूबसूरत स्थलों में से एक तलमेहड़ा की पहाड़ी श्रंख्लाओं में से सबसे ऊंचे पहाड़ में से एक पर स्थित सदाशिव मंदिर से पूरे जिला का आलौकिक नजारा देखने को मिलता है। यूं तो पूरा वर्ष श्रद्धालु आते हैं लेकिन श्रावण माह में यहां श्रद्धालुओं की इतनी भीड़ उमड़ती है कि खड़े होने के लिए भी जगह नहीं बचती। अनेक श्रद्धालु यहां भंडारों का आयोजन करते हैं तो प्रत्येक रविवार रात्रि को यहां विशाल जागरण आयोजित किए जाते हैं जिसमें असंख्य श्रद्धालु भगवान शिव का गुणगान सुनते हैं।

MAJOR Festival Celebrations

Maha Shivaratri

Maha Shivratri or Maha Sivaratri or Shivaratri or Sivaratri (Night of Shiva) is a Hindu festival celebrated every year on the 13th night/14th day in the Krishna Paksha of the month Maagha (as per Shalivahana) or Phalguna (as per Vikrama) in the Hindu Calendar. The most significant practices on this day are offerings of Bael (Bilva) leaves to the Lord Shiva, fasting and a night-long vigil. In North India and Nepal many people consume bhang lassi, which they believe is lord Shiva's favorite drink.

Janamashathmi

Janmashtami is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Krishna, the re-embodiment of Lord Vishnu who gave us the vital message of Bhagwat Gita- the guiding principle for every Hindu. Janmashtmi is celebrated with full energy all over the country. It is celebrated in various parts of India to mark the birth of Lord Krishna. According to the Hindu calendar, it is observed on the eighth day of the Shravan month. The temples throughout the country witness an extravagant and colorful celebration on this occasion.The Lord Shiva Temple is located in the lower Shivalik range of Himalaya. Weather is pleasant here all time. Day and night stay facilities are available in the temple with 24hrs langer (food) facility.

Go Green with Afforestation

The population of the world is increasing day by day leading to drastic enhancements in development viz. increase in the number of houses, schools, colleges, and many more for daily needs. To get all these facilities, deforestation is being done which is harmful to the environment. If the environment is getting polluted, then there is no fresh air to breathe.  In many ways, we can maintain our environment neat and green such as:

1. Population should be in control. The government must have to make strict policies like we two and our two. But people are still doing 3-4 children's. This should be stopped.

2. At every big festival celebration, we can plant a new tree near our home or on the campus where we are working.  In cities, it is not possible to plant a big tree however we can bring flower pots in which we can plant beautiful hybrid flowers and vegetables.

3. These days, we celebrate our birthday by cutting cakes and having parties in hotels. This is ok but we should plant at least one new tree or bring a flower pot to our home on this auspicious day.          
4. Every year, the 22nd of April and 5th of June are celebrated as Earth and Environment Day, respectively. We can make a habit of planting a tree on these special days.
As a proverb "IT TAKES DROP BY DROP TO FILL A PAIL". Similarly, if we change ourselves then automatically surroundings will change in the same manner.

Please love the earth and environment as we love our parents, they are the ultimate source of our life.

These were some of my suggestions through which we can maintain our nearby environment neat and green with our daily busy routine.
