ARISE. AWAKE. 🔥
Keep pushing until the vision becomes reality. No excuses. No stopping.
The ultimate wake-up call from the one and only Swami Vivekananda.
Unassociated Pure Reality:
Q: On inquiry into the origin of thoughts, there is a perception of 'I', but it does not satisfy me.
M: Quite right. The perception of ‘I’ is associated with a form, maybe the body, or a thought. There should be nothing associated with the pure Self. The Self is the unassociated pure Reality, in whose light the body, the ego, etc, shine. On stilling all thoughts, the pure Consciousness remains.
At the time of waking up from sleep and before becoming aware of the world, there is that pure 'I-I'. Hold onto it without sleeping and without allowing thoughts to possess you. If That is held firm, it does not matter even if the world is seen;
the seer will remain unaffected by the phenomena.
If there were not the activities of waking thoughts and dream thoughts, there would not be the corresponding worlds, i.e, no perception of them. In deep sleep, there are no such activities, and the world does not then exist for us.
In dreamless sleep, there is no world, no ego, and no unhappiness. But the Self remains. In the waking state, there are all these; yet there is the Self. One has only to remove the transitory happenings to realize the ever-present beatitude of the Self. Your nature is Bliss. Find that on which all the rest are superimposed, and you will then remain as the pure Self.

WHAT IS MEDITATION?
This was a question haunting a small boy. His parents were at wit's end, as they could not explain it in a simple language the boy could comprehend.
Once the family went for a dharshan to Shri Ramana Maharishi. The boy put forward his question to Ramana Maharishi.
Shri Ramana laughed to himself. Then with smiling face, he asked his devotee to serve the boy dosa from the kitchen.
So, on a plain leaf, a dosa was served. Shri Ramana looked at the boy and said,
" Now I will say "Hmm"
Then only you should start eating. Then again I will say "hmm" After that no piece of dosa should be left on your plate."
The boy agreed. He was so excited. Others were watching expectantly. Now the boy was eagerly waiting for the signal by looking at Shri Ramana's face. When he gave the signal "hmm" the boy started eating. Now his attention was on Shri Ramana. He wanted to finish dosa before the signal. The boy was eating dosa in a hurry, tearing big chunks of dosa, but, all the time keeping his attention on Shri Ramana. The dosa was reducing in size gradually. There was a small piece left. The boy was looking anxiously at Shri Ramana for the second signal. The moment he gave the signal, the boy immediately put the dosa in his mouth.
Now Shri Ramana asked him "where was your attention till now? On me or on Dosa?"
The boy replied "On both"
Shri Ramana said "Yes. You were actively involved in finishing dosa, with your attention on me. You were not distracted at all.
Like this when you do your daily activities with your attention or thoughts on God in the back ground, it is known as meditation."
The two signals "hmm" are birth & death. Within these two events, one can engage in meditation, as demonstrated by Shri Ramana Maharishi. But to understand this we all need divine grace to mellow & mature. We all differ from each other and hence take different time to comprehend this great truth.

Evidence that Bhramari Pranayama may permanently eliminate sinusitis.
One good thing is that David simply didn’t know that this is an Indian Pranayama and after discovering its roots acknowledges and attributes the Indian origins. Indians need to write more high quality detailed research papers about our Yoga and Pranayama practices because many times people are willing to attribute but simply don’t know about the origins of these systems and exercises.
Warm greetings to our brave soldiers, veterans, and their families on Army Day. The Indian Army remains steadfast in safeguarding the unity, sovereignty, and integrity of our nation. Our soldiers defend our borders and provide critical assistance during disasters and humanitarian crises. Your unwavering “Nation First” spirit continues to inspire every Indian.
स्वामी विवेकानंद का मानना था कि युवा शक्ति ही राष्ट्र-निर्माण की सबसे सशक्त आधारशिला है। भारतीय युवा अपने जोश और जुनून से हर संकल्प को साकार कर सकते हैं।

honestly you just need 3 things to crush it in 2026...
that's it, just 3:
1. a clear goal
not vague ambitions...not "be successful"
>an actual target you can measure
2. pen & paper todo list
forget all the productivity bullshit, just write what needs doing and cross it off
3. obsession to execute relentlessly
every single day...
you already know what to do but you just haven't done it consistently enough
When a plane hits turbulence, the wings shake.
That's not a problem. That's how they're built.
They're meant to bend and flex. It's what keeps them strong.

Why should the English medium of learning decide who learns science in India? Can talent bloom when students think in their mother language? IIT Madras shows the way. AI turns lectures into 11 Indian languages, breaking barriers and making learning inclusive. Let us promote the Indian language medium of instruction in higher education.

Every Indian is elated with this recognition.
These ‘Maratha Military Landscapes’ include 12 majestic forts, 11 of which are in Maharashtra and 1 is in Tamil Nadu.
When we speak of the glorious Maratha Empire, we associate it with good governance, military strength, cultural pride and emphasis on social welfare. The great rulers inspire us with their refusal to bow to any injustice.
I call upon everyone to go visit these forts and learn about the rich history of the Maratha Empire.
