LEARNING IS LIFE

 Kashmir Shaivism, also known as Trika Philosophy, is a deep and non-dualistic tradition that thrived in Kashmir in ancient times. Unlike other philosophies that view the world as mere illusion, this particular school of Shaivism asserts that the entire universe is indeed real — it represents the vibrant and joyful expression of pure Consciousness, which is identified as Shiva. At the heart of this tradition lies the belief that God ( Shiva) , divine energy ( Shakti) , and the individual soul are fundamentally one. It suggests that humans have lost sight of their true divine essence due to ignorance or maya . Liberation, or moksha, is not about fleeing the world but rather about recognizing and reclaiming, or pratyabhijna , the understanding that one’s own self is, and has always been, united with Shiva. Essential practices within this tradition include meditation, the use of mantras, and the acknowledgment of the divine pulsation or spanda in everyday life. It is a path that aff...

  Significance of Syllable Aum in Arya Samaj: A poem Aum is truth, the primal sound, God's own symbol can be found. Vedas' light, the real we see, Other tales, just fantasy. Aum is God, so pure and bright, Infinite sound, our guiding light. Aum creates, sustains our days, Then takes us back in peaceful ways. Aum's ascent, a soul takes flight, To inner peace, and pure delight.

  Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati Jayanti was observed on February 12, 2026. He was a philosopher and social reformer from the 19th century who established the Arya Samaj in 1875. His life focused on bringing back Vedic values and advocating for a rational, casteless society along with education based on values. The Arya Samaj is founded on key principles (Niyams) that serve as a moral guide for its followers, highlighting monotheism, the authority of the Vedas, and the importance of social service. These principles assert that God is the ultimate source of all knowledge and the creator of the universe, and that He alone deserves worship.  They also emphasize that the Vedas are the texts of true knowledge that should be read, taught, and listened to by all Aryas. Other principles stress the importance of accepting truth while rejecting falsehood, acting according to Dharma, working for the betterment of the world, and treating others with love, fairness, and justice.  Additi...

  Story of a fascist leader of the past expressed in a poem A leader craved a bigger throne, More power to call entirely his own. He'd buy people, he'd bend a law, To crush dissent with cruelest claw. His heart grew hard, his spirit thin, A hollow echo from within. The people starved, their faces gray, While feasts of greed consumed each day. His soul, a ruin, dark and deep, A twisted harvest he would reap. For power grabbed and wrongly held, A poisoned story, to be yelled. With all power clasped in his hand. His soul turned to dust, Fueled by avarice and lust, Destroying his own promised land.

    Filthy Rich and Dirty Politicians Rule the World, Tme to wake Up: Quintains     A pol paired with money untold, Served garbage in dishes of gold. With tongue sweet and sly, He'd watch people cry, As his devilish story unfolded.   A   filthy rich, obsessed with   greed, Saw blessings in actions quite freed. With instincts debased, Girls and laws he defaced, And money his devilish creed.

  Precept of Immanence and Inspired Poem PRECEPT OF IMMANENCE Recognize the immanence of God by perceiving and experiencing His constant, non-physical, and invisible presence. God isn't merely "out there;" He is deeply engaged within His creation. God is breathing both within us and around us. He is unseen and omnipresent, with all things enveloped by His presence. INSPIRED POEM A soul sought God, far, far away, In heavens, it longed for to stay. It dreamt of pearly gates so grand, A blissful, distant promised land. Then felt a small, persistent shove, A gentle nudge, like meant to move Attention inward, soft and deep, A secret truth the heart to keep. Then a voice soft and clear, Whispered, "I'm always right here," Not in some distant, unknown place, But in the warmth of your embrace. "In your heart, I reside every day, Guiding your steps along the way. No need to search beyond the seen, For I am here, and I have been."
