Some reasons why meditation is useful

Meditation has been an important part of people’s lives especially in Asia since centuries. While most people exercise their bodies, they neglect their minds which work non-stop 24 hrs (even during the time they sleep). It is a process to still the mind and as result gives intense relaxation and peace to the mind.

Who is a Hindu?

Another thing that surprises me is that most Indians (hindus in particular) boast of their rich culture to everybody but do not bother to even glean a part of the excellent spiritual knowledge bestowed to us. While Bhagwad Gita, Vedas and the Upanishads are proper textbooks at hundreds of western universities in the fields of theosophy, metaphysics etc. I really wonder how much percent do really read any of the holy scriptures or try to absorb the meaning. If even at least 30% of the Indians followed the spiritual precepts, India would be a much richer and greater country. Hinduism does not mean doing poojas and asking for wishes or carrying trishuls(in the case of VHP) or putting loud songs on Ganesh Chaturdhi, it teaches how a man should conduct his life according to the law of karma and grow spiritually with each experience in his life

P.S. This is my opinion only, please feel welcome to post u’r own comments

“…it teaches how a man should conduct his life according to the law of karma and grow spiritually with each experience in his life.”

We need some spiritual books on how a woman should conduct her life as well.
