POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY NUTSHELL 1

POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY NUTSHELL 1 Positive psychology is a science of Happiness , psychological well being and flourishing ,building resilience for everyday life. Psychology traditionally focused on dysfunction: i.e dealing people with mental illness or other psychological problems and how to treat them whereas Positive psychology, in contrast, is a relatively new field that examines how ordinary people can become happier . move towards achieving goal and accomplishment. Levels of positive psychology: The science of positive psychology operates on three different levels – the subjective level, the individual level and the group level. The subjective level includes the study of positive experiences such as joy, happiness, optimism, well-being, satisfaction, contentment, and flow. This level is about feeling good, rather than doing good or being a good person. At the individual level, the aim is to identify the constituents of the ‘good life’ and the personal qualities that are necessary for being a ‘good person’, through studying human strengths and virtues, future mindedness,capacity for love, courage, perseverance, forgiveness, originality, wisdom, interpersonal skills and giftedness. Finally, at the group or community level, the emphasis is on civic virtues, social responsibilities, altruism, civility, tolerance, work ethics, positive institutions and other factors that contribute to the development of citizenship and communities and reaching beyond oneself. This level is much more about taking actions or positive behaviors aimed at something larger than ourselves.

PONGAL

Today, is Makar Sankranti, the day Hindus believe the sun starts its Northward journey to wards the Tropic of Cancer. Winters start receding in the Northern hemisphere, while it starts setting in in the Southern hemisphere.

It is believed that when the sun is in the Northward journey, any soul departing during this six month period, gets liberation, and is free from the cycle of birth and death.

People all over India celebrate it under various names, Lohri, Bihu, Makar or Pongal, Sankranti, Onam, etc. On this occasion, here is a message from Ramesh Bhai Oza, a Spiritual Guru......

"The Mahabharat war is over.

Shri Bhishmaji painfully lies on a bed of arrows in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Pitamah Bhishma is ready to depart his soul from the mortal body. All the sages, saints, politicians, family members and the Pandavas have come to visit him during his end time.

Bhishmaji has been eagerly waiting for Lord Krishna, who now stands with a mesmerising smile on His face in front of Pitamah Bhishma.

Ordinarily, God awaits us from the moment we separate from Him and begin to walk the path of life. When we walk into a temple, we see God standing in front of us. God is not seated. This symbolises that God is waiting for us. When will my devotee come? When will I see my beloved devotee?

There is a popular true story about saint Dadudayal. One day, it was raining heavily. Dadu was seated in his shop. Due to the rain, there were no customers. Dadu was doing his accounts. He was struggling to find the error so that his accounts could balance.

In the meantime, Dadu’s Guru arrived. Gurudev noticed that Dadu was busy inside the shop. Dadu’s Gurudev stood outside drenching in the rain without disturbing Dadu. Half an hour later, Dadu identified the error in his accounts, completed them and glanced outside the shop.

He immediately saw his Gurudev drenching outside in the rain. On knowing that his Guru had been waiting for so long, Dadu fell at his Guru’s feet. Gurudev lifted Dadu, looked in his eyes and said, “You were pained to have seen me standing outside and waiting for you for the past thirty minutes. Then look Dadu, God has been waiting for you for many births. How long will you keep God standing?”

Dadu awakened on hearing this. He detached himself from the material world and dedicated his life to God.

Pitamah Bhishma said to God, “Please don’t leave. Stand here and wait for me to depart.”

God is waiting for us too! Let us spend at least ten percent of our day with Him. If not, at least ten minutes in a day with Him and show Him our gratitude and love."

நெற்றியில் பொட்டு

நெற்றியில் பொட்டு வைப்பது என்பது அலங்காரத்திற்காகவும், ஆன்மிக காரணத்திற்காகவும் மட்டுமல்ல... ஆரோக்கியத்திற்காகவும்..

நெற்றியில் குங்குமம் வைப்பதால் என்ன நன்மை ........!!!!

நாகரிகமோகத்தில் நிகழும் தவறுகளில் ஸ்டிக்கர் பொட்டு வைத்துக் கொள்வதும் ஒன்று. நெற்றியில் புருவமத்தியில் மூளையின் முன்புறமாக, பைனீயல் க்ளாண்ட் என்ற சுரப்பி அமைந்துள்ளது. இதை, யோக சாஸ்திரத்தில் ஆக்ஞா சக்ர ஸ்தானம் என குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளனர். மூன்றாவது கண், ஞானக்கண் என்றும் இதற்குப் பெயர் உண்டு. சிவபெருமானுக்கு ஆக்ஞா சக்கரமே நெற்றிக்கண்ணாக இருப்பதைக் காணலாம். www.puradsifm.com

திபெத்தில் லாமாக்கள் ஞானக்கண் திறப்பது என்றொரு சடங்கு செய்கின்றனர். இதன் சிறப்பை உணர்வதற்காகவே நெற்றியில் குங்குமம் இடுகிறோம். பெண்கள் மட்டுமின்றி, ஆண்களும் குங்குமம் வைக்க வேண்டும். உடல்முழுவதும் மின்காந்த சக்தி வெளிப்பட்டாலும், நெற்றியில் புருவ மத்தியிலுள்ள நுண்ணிய பகுதியில் அதன் சக்தி அதிகமாக வெளிப்படுகிறது. இதன் காரணமாகத்தான், மனக்கஷ்டம் வந்தாலோ, ஏதாவது ஒன்றை தீவிரமாக சிந்தித்தாலோ அந்த இடம் உஷ்ணமடைந்து தலைகனம், தலைவலி போன்ற பிரச்னை உண்டாகிறது. இதை தவிர்த்து, குளிர்ச்சியை உண்டாக்கவே சந்தனம், குங்குமம் போன்றவற்றை நெற்றியில் இடுகிறோம். இதனால், உடல், மனோசக்தி வீணாகாமல் பாதுகாக்கப்படுகிறது. முகம் களையோடு பிரகாசமாகத் திகழ்கிறது.

பொட்டு வைப்பது என்பது அலங்காரத்திற்காகவும், ஆன்மிக காரணத்திற்காகவும் மட்டுமல்ல.

ஆரோக்கியத்திற்காகவும் நம் பெரியவர்கள் இப்பழக்கத்தை ஏற்படுத்தினர்.

Hindus - 1,280 Religious Books, 10,000 Commentaries,
more than one lakh sub-commentaries for these foundation books, many gods, variety of Aacharas, thousands of Rishies, hundreds of languages...
still everyone goes to the SAME TEMPLE ...
whether unity is for Hindus or in others…?
Hindus never quarreled each other for the last ten thousand years in the name of religion. Only Politicians had tried to divide and rule… Keep Religion out of Politics and India will be the most peaceful place on earth. B
