and the Seven Sacred CitiesSeven cities in India correspond to
seven centres or chakras in our body: ÒAyodhya, Mathura, Maya, Kashi, Kanchi,
Avantika, Puri drawaravati chaiva, Saptaide moksha dayikaÓ. The seven cities
are companioned with seven sacred
rivers; Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati, Godavari, Narmada, Sindhu and Kaveri
The microcosm
and the macrocosm are interlinked. Planet earth, home to many organisms, is
itself a large organism. It is not just a place for living beings; it is a
living organism as a whole. This is what the Gaia theory says. Materialism
considers everything as objects. Spirituality, on the other hand, discovers
life in everything.

|  |  |  | Bondage Dictionary: Self-awareness Can Bring Happiness
The very concept of God has given rise to many theological disputes and religious warfare. In fact, God is an enduring in-depth experience in the midst of ever-changing mental and sensate experiences - God is the inexhaustible source of love, harmony and peace. Happiness is sought by everyone. But the search is not focused in the right direction. We waste precious time seeking happiness in the mirage of objects, places and people; in relationships and ideologies; in possessions and wanton indulgences.

|  |  |  | Bondage Dictionary: Surrender, the Only Real Freedom
The struggle in a human being is always that he thinks freedom means getting somewhere. But wherever you go, you will not be free. Spiritually, there has always been talk of surrender. But the moment logical, educated minds hear the word surrender, they will build forts around themselves.

|  |  |  | Bondage Dictionary: Unifying Spirit of Sri Satyanarayana
The Satyanarayan puja is performed usually on the day of the full moon night. Many Hindus believe that listening to the katha or story and performing the puja will help them fulfil their desires, that it will bring prosperity, remove fear and free them from bondage. While emotional and sincere chanting of the katha has been known to bring positive results, they are more the result of a true understanding and implementation of the essence and complete message of the katha, rather than the fruits of the ritual itself.

|  |  |  | Bondage Dictionary: Oust The Demonic, Liberate Self
Quite often we are faced with the dilemma of having to decide what is right and what is wrong. Our instinct tells us one thing, whereas our conscience tells us something else. Which are the good qualities that must be developed and which are those undesirable ones that must be abandoned? Lord Krishna addresses this problem in chapter 16 of the Bhagavad Gita . Krishna explains that there are two basic types of inherently opposite dispositions in people - the daivic or divine and the asuric or demonic. Daivic qualities are the cause of liberation ( moksha ), and asuric qualities, the cause of bondage. Krishna lists 26 qualities as divine, which are self-explanatory. Fearlessness tops the list as the prime virtue. It is all encompassing.

Yoga: The scientific process of soul culture and the royal path to
self-realization
The fundamental thesis of Kriya Yoga is
that we are a miniature version of the whole cosmos, a microcosm - an evolving
universe within the macrocosmic world. The all-pervading supreme creator is
hiding within us and activating every action through the breath - hence the
name kriya; any work "kri," is being done by the power of the
indwelling soul "ya." The various cosmic forces controlling ether,
air, fire, water, and earth also control the kinds of work, namely, religious
activities, relationship, food, progeny, and earning money performed by the
human body. Yoga is the means of conjoining this correspondence between
microcosm and macrocosm - realizing the truth behind the union of individual
self and the Supreme Self.

AgesConcept Of Freedom Down The Ages
The 20th century has been one of the most memorable
periods in history. Imperialism, colonialism and feudalism folded up and
monarchy died a natural death, showing that however powerful a tradition may
be, it becomes redundant once its role in social evolution is over. The driving
force and the foremost objective of that process is greater freedom for
mankind.

| | |  |  |  | Bondage Dictionary: Hindu Philosophy . The SankhyaThe word -
Sankhya - means - number -. The system gives an enumeration of the principles
of the universe, twenty-five in number. Hence the name is quite appropriate.
The term - Sankhya - is used in the sense of - Vichara - or - philosophical
reflection - also.
In the Sankhya
system, there is no analytical enquiry into the universe as actually existing,
arranged under topics and categories. There is a synthetical system, starting
from an original primordial Tattva or Principle, called Prakriti, that which
evolves or produces or brings forth (Prakaroti) everything else.

| |  |  |  | Bondage Dictionary: Moksha - Break Free from Fear of Death
Death perhaps is the only certainty in this world. Yet, the fear of death stalks most people. Literature - western and Indian - regards the fear of death as an intriguing and ubiquitous part of human life. We know we are mortals, yet we are afraid of the inevitable. We know we will die one day; yet we continue to behave as though we believe we are going to live forever. In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Caesar is surprised to find that people are frightened of death, which is after all an end that comes when it will. A similar spirit pervades the renowned dialogue between the Yaksha and Yudhishthira in the Mahabharata.

|  |  |  | Bondage Dictionary: Transform Yourself With Mantra Yoga
Chanting mantras inspires the body to heal itself, the mind to become calm and the soul to grow strong. Chanting makes room for divine energies. Mantras are vibrations - they unlock hidden centres and help to dissolve the ego; they help us build invisible tools for shaping a better life. We start discovering resources within. A young farmer, simple and ego-less, was rearing goats. One day a realised soul in ordinary attire visited him. The poor farmer welcomed him with respect without knowing that he was a great guru. Affectionately, he offered goat milk to the visitor. The guru left after some time. His blessings created a great spiritual armour around the farmer, unbeknownst to him.

|  |  |  | Bondage Dictionary: Who Am I?This is a world of diversity. Intellects
are different. Faces are different. Religions are different. Sounds are
different. Faiths are different. Colours are different. Faculties are
different. Tastes and temperaments are different. But one thing is common in
all. Everyone of us wants Nitya Sukha (eternal happiness), infinite knowledge,
immortality, freedom and independence. These things can be obtained by
knowledge of the Self alone.

Yoga" by Sri Swami Sivananda.

|  |  |  | Bondage Dictionary: The Wavelength Of Celestial Sound
In most religious scriptures, Shabd or the Word is referred to as the creator of the universe. It is a current from the ocean of pure consciousness that is characterised by ethereal and sublime sound vibration. It is the all-pervading manifestation of God, the radiant sound current, and it is the connecting link between God and His creation. All the powers of nature depend on and work through Shabd.
