Dhwaj Yog In Hindu Astrology

Dhwaj Yog, also referred to as Ketu Yog, is considered a good and auspicious period in Hindu astrology. This yog is calculated based on nakshatra or birth star.

The time period is good for making all kinds of investments. It is good for participating in duels, battles, fights, competition, athletics, sports etc. It is ideal for moving into new rented house and also for any kind of first meeting. It is also good for opening of shops and starting construction etc. Dhwaj Yog happens when Punarvasu or Punartham nakshatra falls on Sunday or Ravivar Purva Phalguni or Pooram nakshatra falls on Monday or Somvar Swathi or Chothi nakshatra falls on Tuesday or Mangalwar Mool or Moolam nakshatra falls on Wednesday or Budhwar Shravan or Sravana or Thiruvonam nakshatra falls on Thursday or Guruvar Uttara Bhadrapada or Uthrattathi nakshatra falls on Friday

Jnana – Karma – Bhakti And Raja Yoga Explained In Simple Terms

A simple and lucid explanation of Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti and Raja Yoga in Hinduism. Jnana yoga deals with the experience of self. Karma yoga deals with the experience of the world. Bhakti yoga deals with the experience of ultimate reality or ultimate value. Raja yoga deals with the mind itself, the instrument of all experience. The jnani seeks to know ‘Who am I?’ The karma yogi seeks to find freedom in the midst of action in the world.  The bhakta seeks God as the highest value and ultimate reality. The raja yogi seeks to perfect the mind till the mind is capable of reflecting the truth, of perceiving the truth directly. The statement that bhakti yoga deals with ultimate reality and ultimate value needs, perhaps, a word of explanation. Whatever we take as real, assumes value for us, and what we value takes on reality for us. A miser’s god is money; the god of many young people is a member of the opposite sex; the god of a glutton is food: these are the objects of highest val

What Is Real Individuality? – Hinduism Answers

The concept of individuality that we now know is fake. It is not real. Hinduism tries to find what is real individuality. Individuality consists in the recognition of something as ‘myself ’. I cannot point out to my body as myself for it is constantly in flux, every moment it is changing. I cannot even point out to mind and senses, for they too are incessantly changing. And the ego is so eluding, I cannot find out what it is and where it is. If this is the situation, what constitutes my real individuality? If I can assert that I am the spirit, there lies my real individuality, for the spirit is the one unchanging element in my personality. To realise my spiritual nature, I have to separate myself from the products of Prakriti such as intellect, mind, senses, and the body, which are the different segments of my individual personality. All the sufferings that is unavoidable in this embodied state are due to my identification with these products of Prakriti. Swami Vivekananda writes
