Philosophy
for Everyone
Credit: Most of the articles presented here are based on the
teachings/thoughts of Swami Dev Anand, who is a
somewhat eccentric modern Guru. Nobody has ever seen him, so, we don't even
know if he is a real person. In his own words: “Everything I say below is only my opinion,
which is based on my own experiences, or based on what I read, heard and
observed. There are no absolute truths. These are things that appeal to me,
and which I believe are worth thinking about, implementing in practice, and
internalizing (in their essence) in our behavior.” So, read by all means, but think
carefully before adopting ... Guru:
Your quest to conquer this world must begin with adopting a Guru first. Here
is one Guru that comes with very strong credentials. Basic
guidelines: Wouldn’t it be nice to have just a few simple rules to
navigate the maze of life! My Core
Values: Everyone needs a set of core values/principles as a guiding
framework. I have set for myself values such as
Simplicity and Acceptance. A simple click would tell you more. My
Basic Religious Beliefs: Audiences have pestered me about my religious
beliefs. This article summarizes my basic ideas. Life as a highway: Life has multiple lanes, and it probably makes sense to travel as many lanes as possible. Tyranny of Time: It’s high time you read this article. Purpose of Life: The perennial question and a practical answer. About Relationships: The pros and cons, and a few simple rules to enjoy them. Parenting: It’s an enriching experience, and can be made enjoyable with the help of a proper perspective. Routine:
Instead of making your life dull, “routine” can create long-lasting and
unfettered freedom in your life! Living
in the moment: What does it really mean? Let’s ponder over it for a moment. Meditation:
This is not a detailed manual, but offers just a few tips. About
helping: It helps to have a framework before you start helping. Keys to
Feminine Happiness: This is of course from a man’s point of view. स्त्रीच्या समृद्ध व समाधानी जीवनाच्या गुरूकिल्ल्या:
स्त्रीचे आयुष्य समृद्ध आणि समाधानी (fulfilling) व्हायचे असेल तर तिच्या आयुष्यात या लेखात नमूद केलेल्या गोष्टी असणे/होणे महत्त्वाचे आहे असे मला वाटते. (This is a translation of the above English article.) Dancing
with a stranger: For a woman, falling in love is the best way to find her
man. But, what if that doesn't happen!? This article attempts to discuss the
pros and cons of living with a stranger – someone who was found by parents or
through the dating ritual. Love
and marriage: Discussion in response to a life puzzle often faced by
women. If I had a
little money! A few random thoughts about Money and Wealth. Body over
Mind: The time has come to reassert the predominance of body over mind. Daily
prayer: I view prayer as a way
to remind oneself of what's important in life and
what's not. Here is my own version … Miscellaneous:
Questions and answers on various topics. This also includes philosophical
views of other philosophers which I found appealing. Quotable quotes: These are not my quotes; it is just a collection of quotes that I have heard/read and enjoyed. |
