Destiny : The timeless flow of Life is in flux.We can conceptualize any event occurring in our life happening as per destiny,which sounds so naive. If at all we see destiny as any ready script for any/all events happening ,that too under influence of Almighty/God,that would be the simplest way of blaming someone else for any unexpected event and not taking responsibility for ourselves or honestly accept our mortal existence. Factually, no matter what we aspire ,though we can take action practically the consequences are never in our control,its simple as that. Things may either happen as per our expectations or they might not.For that purpose we don't have to blame any external agency viz- God or invent concept of destiny. Every event happening is not actually a linear event but a complex event influenced by innumerable factors. Seen -unseen, known -unknown so many factors are evolving round that point of which our mind is hardly capable of comprehending.Mind can understand the linear activities,but it's next to impossible for understanding any issue holistically.Whether we like it or not ,life shall be always surprising with its offerings ,some might be pleasing some might be disheartening but things just happen,that is all that is. And for some people this concept of destiny might give a therapeutic effect,another reason for cribbing or blaming , nothing more than that. Lets understand and accept that Life is as lively and afresh as Life per se , it doesn't require any stale script to function for that matter.
About Me

- मुझे पाना हो तों मुझमे उतरकर देखों / य़ू किनारेसे समन्दर को देखा नहीं जाता // I am an Ayurvedic Practitioner from Pune,interested in Life(now,who isn't ?).I appreciate Life in its totality,as a whole.By Life I don't mean mere human life but the whole Existence.I consider Life more than a subject to be explored through various streams of Knowledge like Science,Spirituality,Arts and anything beyond.Life is an ultimate Adventure(no not just Bungee jumping and all that) without any specific Destination,without any goal,without any certainty.So-called ideas of Enlightenment,Liberation,Salvation are mere tip of the iceberg.Although Human endeavor to investigate Life is an unfair attempt in its glory, we humans tend to speculate it with our inefficient tools-mind and the senses;but that has to be excused by dear Life !

Non-dualism : If the world is illusion,how real is the concept of perceiving/labelling this world as illusion ? Ain't this activity too an illusion?
Past Life : No, i don't believe in past life, as it seems irrelevant as far as
our journey is concerned.Unless there is some sort of 'unfinished business ' to
do.Otherwise in most of us nature has already formatted our memories and
produced us,which seems to be great plan.Although there are some cases where
people remember their past lifes vividly but that may be essential for their
growth and existence ,not true in everybodies case.Many times its healthy to
forget our past and past lives.In short it exist for
those who remember ,those who don't should move on !
Beliefs : As far
as beliefs(opinions) are concerned,i admire what Bertrand Russell said " I
would never die for my beliefs, because i might be wrong".This goes true
for anybodys belief/opinions.I personally feel that beliefs should be
rational,productive,flexible and pragmatic in nature.we should be able to
playfully handle our beliefs rather these very beliefs control or bother us
unnecessarily.More the rigid they are,more would be we bothered by them.
"I have a belief" and "I have a dog'' in both the cases the
object have to serve the 'I' and not the other way round.Beliefs are like the
operating sytem (OS) of our species.Their purpose and existence is for
functioning of an individual.The moment any conflict arises within us,its high
time for thorough introspection.If in case i come across someone having
different beliefs from me i do examine my beliefs before challenging or
opposing his/her beliefs.And at the end of the day beliefs whosoever it may be
should be taken with a pinch of salt, as they are just medium for smooth
functioning of every individual,and its ok to let everybody enjoys their
beliefs however puerile they may seem.Let us enjoy our freedom.

Philosophy :Yes ,
we in east never had any exclusive philosophical field as in west, Everything
came under the religious umbrella.Here, in east philosophy seemed to be one of
the tenets of the larger picture called 'Religion' which was and is supposed to
be part of everyday life and lifestyle.So unlike west philosophy is not any
intellectual pursuit to be persevered by handful of intellectuals and thinking
mind.Also its fundamentally known as " Darshan" (to
see/vision/insights) which is not just about our only tool of perception the
mind & senses but much more beyond that.Hence there's mysticism and
metaphysics associated and involved with the whole stuff.So we have a very
pretty well designed chaos to offer and not just mere logic and critical
thinking.
