Meditation - 2

What Is Meditation ???

In the West, meditation means a condensed state of mind in serious reflection. The word meditation is derived from a Latin root, mederi, means "to heal." It is an attempt to heal hardships of the mind, the hurt ego, by trying to interpret the cause of the trouble and finding a way to solve it, that is, by knowing what counter-measures to take. To meditate thus, is to intensify a state of understanding.

In the East, however, meditation does not mean thinking at all but setting the mind in a spiritual ideal, to be one with it, or the thought-process fading out in the consciousness of it. According to Zen, meditation does not imply any concept but is an consciousness of inner muteness.

Meditation is not a technique but a way of life. Meditation means a cessation of the thought processes. It depicts a state of consciousness.

Bhagavad Gita tells us various ways in which Meditation is to be done. The VIth chapter is fully on this and so along with Dhyan Yoga it is also called Atma Samyam Yoga.

Meditation -1

In the coming days, we shall have some inputs on Meditation. Let's devote some time. Will you?

The crucial skill of meditation is learning to focus, to be completely concentred. As your whole being gets engrossed in meditation, every tension and stress of daily life will fall from your shoulders. In barely a couple of seconds, you will feel rested and refreshed. Your mental attitude will be more constructive and compassionate. Your family and colleagues will immediately see the benefits of your meditation. You'll attain best conclusions, have greater creativity, and become playfully adroit in dealing the challenges of the day. The world is full of exhausted, ill-natured, stressed-out persons trying to be the best, attempting to do the correct thing, trying to equilibrize their career and bring up a healthy family. Meditation helps you make an honest, loving attitude, so that you can endure even the hardest or most intense times.

On a regular basis meditating will help you feel positive about your day -to-day life, rejuvenated, and spiritually attuned. Meditation is a great source for preventing feelings of distress and overwhelm, frustrations that often stem from modern-day stresses. We scurry from place to place, troubled by our cellular phone and our pagers, consumed by the demand and convenience of e-mail. We have so much to pay attention to that the priority of our relationship with ourselves, the most significant relationship of all, is badly ignored. The fact that you're curious about meditation Signifies that it's not too late to begin your journey towards a healthier, better life style. You must remember that you're the foundation of all that swirls around you. When you are spiritually fit, you will be able to serve other people. Every building bears a base. The larger the building, the Firmer the base. Once the building is fully built, the foundation is covered. It is buried deep into the earth, even though it holds the entire construction. Try to look at building your own spiritual strength in this manner. When we forget our roots, our foundation, life is full of stress and fear. Only by diving deep inside can we reconnect with our own roots, our own foundation.

Meditation is a scientific discipline of self-discovery, self-understanding, and self-transformation. By meditation, we recollect who we're and hence, regain our dignity and our love for life. This is among the significant reasons why meditation is a basic, foundational issue for all of us. We have to devote attention.

Republic Day 2017 - Jai Hind! Vande Mataram!!

Defense sector is an area that is usually seen with contempt by many Indians. Flailing PSUs that have churned out dummies after dummies in the name of indigenousness, foreign procurements mired in corruption, indecisiveness and ineptitude on behalf of our lawmakers and administrators so much so that we as a country cannot even make a name worthy rifle of our own.

But, there is hope. In the form of the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP) and the Indian Navy

The Agni series, Prithvi series offer Indian its strategic and tactical nuclear offensive capabilities.

The Sub launched K-15 Sagarika (for the INS Arihant) completes the Indian nuke triad.

Now the Navy,  Apart from this big fat elephant

INS Vikramadithya (Gorshkov), The Indian Navy is a beacon of hope.

The Indian Navy and its acquisitions are a breed apart. Unlike the Army and the Airforce, the Navy always showed keen interest in getting its hands dirty with design and development of its equipment. The Directorate of Naval Design (DND)  was set up with that very motive.

Delhi class destroyers

Shivalik class frigates

 
Vikrant class Aircraft carriers:
STOBAR (Short Take Off But Arrested Recovery) aircraft carriers capable of handling supersonic jets (MiG-29k and LCA-Navy in our case) are a rare breed. India is the only Asian nation apart from 3 or 4 other countries in the world that has the ability to manufacture such carriers.

Arihant - SSBN (the crown jewel of the Indian Navy)
With Arihant we now have the ability to miniaturize a nuclear reactor to such a size that it can fit inside a submarine. This is huge.

With K-15/Sagarika and Arihant combo we can now launch a ballistic guided missile from a submarine!
