Hindu Philosophy- A Rational Life

  “As men learned more about the world, they found themselves everless capable of expressing to their educated fellowman what it was that they have learned. The gap between life and knowledge grew wider and wider. Those who governed could not understand those who thought and those who wanted to know could not understand them, those who knew” Will Durant in the preface of the story of philosophy. But this could not be the case of Hindu thinkers, they have the strongest forward view of life. Scholars never had the hesitation and complexity to found any of it in Hindu thought. Hindu philosophy had a problem in front of them and they pondered on this problem to solve it by their own means. The end is generalized, to ride of a suffering of life. They advocate the life and explain the way of living. They dedicated to the human psychology and they worked to encourage the prefect society. It drawn, that the philosophers had started with the life, full of misery and charged that life at th

    When Tsunami hit the Sumatra, island of Indonesia in 2004, residents of that place become more religious as they felt that the Almighty is testing them and as they failed in their regular prayers, therefore God punished them. When Coronavirus hit the world, in India, people poured down in temples and in dargahs seeking blessings of Almighty. Those who recovered from Coronavirus in hospitals, they declared on social media that God saved them. When the second unlock started in India in 2022, people were not talking about the science or biotechnology or saving environment but only about worshiping god. People were not seen helping poor but offering sweets and fruits in temples. Religion is not bad but blind faith is completely depraved. The world at present is facing global warming, melting of ice on both the poles of the globe, spreading of different viruses, increase of carbon emission and decrease of food supply to the world population and breaking of food chain but people are

   Hindus never look dreaming in thought that the life of man is useless and to eradicate this suffering from their live is to exile from this world, They never think to keep the view of this world as unreal as because if this could be the base of their philosophies, the life had become useless and imaginative and so the suffering in life could never be dealt so widely and therefore life and suffering become synonyms. One of the most important optimistic aspects of Hindu philosophy was the conservation of environment. The concept that every animal and every plant have soul or consciousness and it should be preserved. The nonviolence thoughts of Jainism made such a great influence that Hindus learnt not to hurt even a tree or cut a branch of a tree. The non-violence against animals saved the ecology of this land for thousands of years and therefore there is no brutal rituals found practiced in Hindus that abolish the human right in original philosophy of Hindus.   Mythologies suggests t

 Nitin Agrawal Over thinking is the mental state which can occur due to behavioral issues or some underlying mental health problems like depression, anxiety, trauma. If not worked upon, it can lead to a personality disorder which then starts interfering with our day-to-day life and affect our relationships with people. It’s a downward spiral which needs immediate attention. But the next question you’d ask is “Is it too difficult to change this habit?”. At the basic level, you can stop overthinking just by writing down pointers going through your mind, be it a situation or a person and then reflecting upon it rationally. In this article, we will be discussing about this topic in detail, so here you go.   Symptoms of over thinking There are many traits by which you can identify whether any person and even you are over thinking or not. Here are some early signs of this behaviour:   When you keep thinking (and revolving) about a problem in spite of focusing your energy on the solutio

It is great to be proud of your culture and heritage but it is greater to know your culture and heritage. The Hindus, in last some decades are feeling great related to their culture and heritage but they are not feeling greater by knowing their culture and heritage. In many such programs, I participated, in a hope that I will able to learn something which I do not know about Hindu culture and heritage. I usually love rationality and impressed by the rationality of Hindu philosophies. And believe me, there is no place of superstition or blindness in Hindu ancient literature. But my participation went in vein as I frustrated that what people are feeling great about their culture or heritage is all in vein because they are not talking about Hindus but about some mixed alien culture. They are confused and making others confused. The most important topic which generally common Hindus do not know but talk lot about is, is the topic of our ‘rishis and munis.’  I asked them who were rishis a
