Color of Clean Ganga river!

This Is The Ganga We Want To See ❤️ The Ganga River in Haridwar has been looking remarkably clear, with stones visible beneath the water's surface. The change comes after authorities temporarily diverted the water supply for canal maintenance and carried out cleaning operations along several stretches. The stunning visuals have gone viral on social media.

I have always valued him!

After Almost 60 Years Together, She Still Loves Him… Just Not in the Same Way The other day, I asked my mother if she was still in love with my father after nearly 60 years of marriage. She looked at me for a long moment and gave a quiet smile. She didn't say a word, yet there was something in her eyes that told me her answer went far deeper than a simple yes or no. Later that evening, a message from her lit up my phone. Her words have stayed with me ever since: "Whenever you ask me if I still love him, I smile. Not because I don't know the answer, but because it's hard to put into words. Yes, I still love him. It’s just different now. I don't feel the butterflies I felt when I was young. I don't wait up for a kiss or daydream about grand romantic surprises. Something else has taken their place—something much steadier. Our love is no longer a wildfire. It’s a gentle warmth that never goes out. It lives in the morning coffee we share, the harmless little arguments over everyday things, and the way we look after each other without being asked. It’s woven into all the small moments we barely even notice anymore. At this stage of life, I don't need expensive gifts or sweeping promises. I just want him beside me when my body aches. I want his hand to hold when I feel frail. I want him to understand me on the days I struggle to explain what I’m feeling. And he does. Sometimes he says nothing at all. He just sits beside me. Somehow, that is more than enough. After nearly a lifetime together, love isn't about romance every single day. It’s about knowing someone so well that a single glance says a thousand words. We’ve weathered good seasons and hard ones. We’ve laughed, cried, struggled, and disagreed—yet through all of it, we kept choosing each other. So yes, I am still in love with him. Not just with the young man I married all those decades ago, but with the man he has become—the one who grew old beside me, carried my worries, held my hand, and made this long journey feel like home. Maybe that is what lasting love really looks like. It isn't always loud. Sometimes, it’s just two people growing old together, still making room for each other in their everyday lives." Reading her message, I realized she had captured the real meaning of true love. It isn't measured by how two people feel in the rush of the beginning, but by how they care for each other when the years catch up. Because the deepest love is rarely spoken in grand poetry—it’s found in a familiar hand, a quiet presence, and someone who is still right there when you need them most.

Bhramari Pranayam - A must for staying in Polluted cities!

BH​RAMARI PRANAYAMA: THE SCIENCE OF HUMMING What if a simple humming sound could influence the chemistry of your breath? Bhramari Pranayama, also known as Humming Bee Breath, is much more than a relaxation technique. It has an interesting connection with one of the body’s important signalling molecules: Nitric Oxide (NO). What happens when we hum? When we hum during exhalation, vibrations are created in the nasal and sinus cavities. Research has demonstrated that humming can increase the concentration of nitric oxide released from the nasal passages by up to 15 times compared with a quiet exhalation. Why is Nitric Oxide important? Nitric oxide plays several important roles in the human body: 1. Supports the dilation of blood vessels. 2. Helps regulate blood circulation. 3. Participates in immune defence. 4. Plays a role in respiratory function. 5. Acts as an important signalling molecule in the nervous system. The Yogic Perspective In yoga, the power of sound and vibration has always been recognised. Bhramari uses the simplest of sounds — the vibration of Mmmmm. As the sound becomes continuous, the mind gradually withdraws from external distractions and moves towards inner stillness. Perhaps this is where the beauty of Bhramari lies: the breath becomes a bridge between the body and the mind. How to practise: * Sit comfortably with your spine erect. * Inhale gently through the nose. * Exhale slowly while producing a soft humming sound. * Feel the vibration around your face and head. * Repeat 5–10 rounds without straining. Don’t force the breath. Let the humming be smooth and effortless. Sometimes, the deepest practices are also the simplest.

Story of Varanasi!

बनारस की सुंदरता वहां के घाट और गलियों से है, यह तो हम सब जानते हैं। लेकिन अगर आप शहर को थोड़ा गहराई से जानना चाहते है, तो नाविक की बात आपको इंप्रेस कर सकती है। नाविक बताता है कि ‘आप काशी को 3 ही नाम से जानते हैं ना काशी, बनारस, वाराणसी, लेकिन काशी के कई नाम है। 5 नाम जो जरूरी है उनमें से 2- मोक्षनगरी और आनंदवन भी है।’ सामने जल रही चिता को दिखाते हुए नाविक कहता है कि ‘आप जो देख रहे हैं, यही यही मोक्षगनगरी है। यहां पर बोलते हैं कि अगर काशी में एक दिन भी बॉडी नहीं जलेगी तो काशी विश्वनाथ का श्राप है कि वो पूरे शहर को नाश कर देंगे। क्योंकि पूर्व काल में शिव जी और पार्वती मैय्या ने यही स्नान किया था, स्नान के समय माता पार्वती के कान का कर्णिका और शिव जी के मस्तिष्क का मणि यहां पर गिर गया था। इसलिए जगह का नाम पड़ा मणिकर्णिका!’ नाविक बताता है कि ‘माता पार्वती और शिव जी की मणिकर्णिका को ढूंढने के लिए सारे देवी-देवता धरती पर स्नान किए, सभी ने खोजा किसी को नहीं मिला। उस समय शिव जी ने श्राप दिया कि जैसे मैं अपने क्रोध में जल रहा हूं, वैसे यहां का भूमि जलेगा। तब से यहां रोज डेड बॉडी जलता रहता है। फिर भगवान विष्णु जी कछुए का रुप धारण करके आए मणि ढूंढने आए।’ आगे घाट पर नाव चलाने वाला बतता है कि ‘क्योंकि उसे श्राप था, वह धरती पार करते हुए दूसरी ओर कुल्लू-मनाली चला गया। जहां 2 झील है एक गर्म पानी और एक ठंडे पानी का। विष्णु जी जब वहां से मणि और कणि को ढूंढकर ले आए तो शिव जी प्रसन्न हुए और उन्होंने कहा कि मैं अपना श्राप तो वापस नहीं ले सकता, लेकिन मैं वरदान देता हूं कि जो भी यहां शरीर को गंगा में स्नान करके जलाएगा, उसे सीधा मोक्ष की प्राप्तो होगी।
