The Benefits of Yoga and Meditation for Nature and Ourselves

 Nature is a wonderful teacher. It shows us how to live in harmony with ourselves and our surroundings. One of the most amazing examples of nature's wisdom is the plants and trees. They take the lowest things from nature like cow dung, a little water and sunlight and give high level output as fruits, oxygen and more. The efficiency of these are high. They do not waste any resources or pollute the environment. They also provide beauty, shade and shelter for many living beings.




Whereas, what human beings take the best from nature and are we giving enough back to nature? What's our efficiency in this case? Where we fell down in this? We can see that human beings have exploited nature for their own selfish needs, without caring for the consequences. We have polluted the air, water and soil, destroyed forests and wildlife, and caused global warming and climate change. We have also harmed ourselves by living in stress, anxiety, depression and disease.


We can do create a better atmosphere around us through regular conditioning of our inner self through doing meditation, yoga etc. Meditation and yoga are ancient practices that can help us reconnect with nature and ourselves.

Project hierarchy analogy with telescope and its lense

 Project hierarchy analogy with telescope and its lense One of the challenges of managing a complex project is to ensure that all the stakeholders have a clear and consistent vision of the goals, scope and deliverables. A project hierarchy is a useful tool to organize and communicate the different levels of detail and responsibility in a project. In this blog post, I will use an analogy with a telescope and its lense to explain how a project hierarchy works. A telescope is an instrument that allows us to observe distant objects by magnifying their images. A telescope consists of two main parts: the objective lense and the eyepiece. The objective lense is the large lense at the front of the telescope that collects and focuses light from the object. The eyepiece is the small lense at the back of the telescope that magnifies and projects the image onto our eyes. A project hierarchy is similar to a telescope in that it has two main parts: the project charter and the work breakdown structur

The Hopi Indians are a tribe of Pueblo people who live in northeastern Arizona, on the edge of the Painted Desert. They have a rich and complex culture that spans centuries and includes a distinctive religious and mythological tradition. In this blog post, I will explore some of the Hopi beliefs and how they relate to the ancient Hindu scriptures known as the Vedas. The Hopi believe that they are the descendants of the Hisatsinom, or "Ancient People", who were also known as the Anasazi. The Hopi call their creator Tawa, the sun spirit, who formed the first world out of endless space and its original inhabitants.

The Hopi also believe that they have lived in four different world

Moses and Māṇḍavya: The Resemblances in Their Life

Moses and Māṇḍavya are two prominent figures in the religious traditions of Judaism and Hinduism, respectively. Both of them are revered as prophets, teachers, and leaders who played a crucial role in shaping the history and identity of their communities. But did you know that there are some striking resemblances in their life stories as well? In this blog post, we will explore some of the similarities and differences between these two sages, and what they can teach us about faith, justice, and destiny. One of the most obvious parallels between Moses and Māṇḍavya is that both of them were wrongfully punished by a king for a crime they did not commit. Moses was born in Egypt at a time when the Pharaoh ordered the killing of all Hebrew male infants, fearing that they would grow up to overthrow him. Moses was saved by his mother, who put him in a basket and floated him on the Nile river, where he was found and adopted by the Pharaoh's daughter. When Moses grew up, he witnessed an Egyp
