Face Your Fears

Social media is a powerful medium that has given everyone an open platform to express their talent and creative potential. Almost everyone today is a content creator and an influencer in their own right. Instagram #reels can get insanely viral, and anyone can become an overnight sensation. In such a world of content overload, could there be something that we need to bear in mind as we take up the journey of putting out content on social media? Here’s an answer to a similar question asked by @aryannarora at the Global Spirituality Mahotsav organised by the @ministryofculturegoi and hosted by @heartfulness

We should avoid judging someone based on their outward behavior. What they say or do might be an indication of an unfulfilled need that they are unable to express. Let's try to listen to what's unsaid and see beyond what's visible. We can gain a better understanding of others if we listen and observe attentively.

We might even consider giving up when we are actually very close to a breakthrough, especially if we can't see an end to the difficult situation we're in. At such times, we need a hopeful reminder to help us stay patient and keep going. So here's a gentle reminder to keep going, even when it's hard 👇🏽 You might be closer to your goal than you think!

It can get quite difficult to navigate negative emotions in a relationship. Sometimes, these emotions are a result of toxic behaviors that we simply cannot tolerate for the sake of our own mental and emotional well-being. If you find yourself in this situation, please know that you deserve a better life, and taking steps to safeguard your well-being is crucial. You may need to move out, move on or move away, but whatever it takes, please prioritize your health and happiness. However, there may be times when the negativity you feel isn’t necessarily due to abuse, but rather, certain triggers or stimuli. In these situations, please consider giving the relationship a chance. It can take a lot of positive effort and time to clear our minds of negative impressions about others, but it’s all worth it if you love someone and are willing to give them a second chance. Please remember that you are not alone in these struggles. It’s okay to feel conflicted and unsure about what to do. Take the time you need to make the right decision for yourself, and seek help and support.

This Women's Day, let us offer our gratitude and respect to the innumerable sacrifices women make to add value to our lives and contribute so much to the building of the nation. Wishing all the women out there Happy Women’s Day.

The following passage by @martinanavratilova is so relevant in the context of what happened with Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra and what happens with each one of us daily. “You need to stop yourself from stopping yourself. Every game in life is actually played on a 6-inch ground, the space between your two ears. We don’t live in bungalows, duplexes or flats. We live in our mind, which is an unlimited area. We keep on talking and thinking negative thoughts that affect our entire lives. Just like a bee that keeps on buzzing the whole day, we too keep on buzzing unwanted thoughts in our heads 24×7. Life is great when things are sorted out and uncluttered there.” The Bhagavad Gita is that spiritual philosophy that helps us deal with our internal chatter and helps us stay aligned and focused.

Despite our efforts to maintain a smooth sailing life, unforeseen challenges often arise, causing frustration, pain, and agony. While we may have limited control over our external circumstances, we have unlimited control over our internal responses. Achieving peace and stability in such situations depends on nurturing our inner consciousness and response mechanisms. Here are some tips for cultivating this inner strength.

We can learn from everything around us, and at this one Diwali event, I was talking about lessons we can learn from Indian sweets. Here’s what a Motichoor Laddu can teach us 👇🏽 Whether it is our fitness, relationships, business or work, it is the small things done rightly and consistently that eventually build up to give us huge gains.

A relationship mantra that you must never forget! Valentine Day Special | Gaur Gopal Das Relationships are like a tender plant that can bear beautiful, fragrant flowers of love.

Ayodhya: Gulaal, Tears and Gratitude | Ram, Sita & Hanuman |@GaurGopalDas

The Ramayana offers lessons that can help us deal with life’s challenges with resolve, grit and inner strength. Rising above any religious, sectarian, cultural or political differences, let Shri Ram be the unifying force that brings about harmony and unity to us Indians as a nation and to the world at large.

By Gaur Gopal Das Let's take along the good memories, leave behind the hurt and pain, correct the mistakes that may have happened, and, with firm resolve and heartfelt hope, build a bright and beautiful 2024. Wishing all of you a very happy, prosperous and transformative New Year 2024!
