Operation Sindoor - A high-precision, multi-domain offensive and an evolution of India’s counter-terrorism doctrine Why the Name "Sindoor" Was Selected: The name "Sindoor" (सिंदूर) carries deep symbolic and cultural meaning in India, especially in the context of marriage and devotion: Symbol of Sacredness and Protection: Sindoor is traditionally applied by married Hindu women in the parting of their hair (maang), symbolizing their marital status. It's also seen as a symbol of auspiciousness, protection, and commitment—all values that can metaphorically apply to the nation's commitment to its territorial integrity. Blood and Sacrifice: The red color of sindoor can also symbolize blood, suggesting the sacrifice of soldiers and the fierce battle that took place to reclaim Indian territory. It invokes both emotional gravity and patriotic sentiment. Reclaiming Honor: The operation was about reclaiming what was rightfully India's, much like how sindoor is a m...
Find the source of ego Meditation is deliberating on the thought process and bringing it to a focal point. Some go for total thoughtlessness. The other way is to focus between the eyebrows to see the light of Brahmn. Chanting of a mantra is another way to do meditation. Ramana Maharishi of Arunachalam said that one should search for self-identity by asking: “Who am I?” In meditation one should ask this question and with gradual evolution find calmness and peace.

It is more than the repetition of a mantra. If the enquiry were...
Happiness is not everything The idea of happiness is a kind of ignorance. If your understanding is healthy, then you will never give too much importance to happiness; we do so because of our ignorance. Happiness is not the idea, purpose or aim of life; happiness is a consequence, a fruit. Happiness is a subject of the senses; it is felt by the senses, it is an idea of the senses; it is information got from the senses. The scope of the senses is limited and the senses are completely unaware of the greatness of life. So if you are thinking for happiness or working for happiness you are just following your senses, you are indulging them. You are just living with your senses. Understand the game of the senses, and then go beyond them. Discover that portion of life, that part of life that can give us something permanent, the highest knowledge of life, the highest clarity in life. Nobody enters the path with full clarity, so even if you are ignorant or you lack the aspiration, somehow you wi...
