Spreading Positivity

  Mindset Shift. ... Mindset shift… We humans have a unique feature that sets us apart from other creatures in the universe—the ability to think, thanks to our brain. The human brain is a highly complex organ that processes information through billions of interconnected nerve cells, communicating via chemical and electrical signals. This enables us to perform everything from basic life functions to complex thoughts and actions that we learn over time. We are witnessing a massive scientific revolution in every aspect of life, as humans now have greater exposure to technology. The result of this evolution in complex thought and action has led to a major shift—Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is an advanced subset of machine learning that utilizes intricate algorithms, also known as deep neural networks, which closely emulate human thought and actions. This allows systems to process information with remarkable precision. What a shift—from the human brain to a system that processes th...

  From Challenges to Glory .... I read somewhere that the glory of gardening lies in having your hands in the dirt to create firm roots, your head in the sun to absorb sunlight for growth, and the understanding that nurturing your own garden requires caring not just for your body but also for your soul. As the scientific revolution progresses, extensive research is being conducted to create space stations. The largest space project began in 1998 and was built 350 km (217 miles) above the Earth in orbit. The space station was planned to be 108 meters (354 feet) wide and 88 meters (148 feet) long, weighing 430 tonnes (423 tons). It took 45 shuttle launches to transport the construction parts into orbit. Among the many astronauts contributing to space exploration is Sunita Williams, a retired Navy officer selected by NASA in 1998. She has completed two space missions so far. In her most recent mission, she has been in space for the past nine months. The challenges she faces during thi...

  Positivity and Festive Celebrations.... Festivals are more than just annual traditions; they are moments that bring families, friends, and communities together in celebration and joy. They serve as reminders of the importance of gratitude, togetherness, and the renewal of positivity in our lives. But the true essence of a festival is not just in personal joy, it lies in our ability to spread that happiness to those around us, especially those who may not always have the opportunity to fully participate. When we make our celebrations more inclusive, we create a world where every individual, regardless of their abilities or circumstances, can experience the joy that festivals bring. At Spreading Positivity, I have always believed that celebrations should be more than just rituals, they should reflect the spirit of love, kindness, and acceptance. Through my journey of working with the hearing-impaired community, I have witnessed firsthand how small, thoughtful gestures can bring imm...

  The Joy of Giving.... Mother India, motherland, and the soldiers of the motherland—they are the ones who truly know the joy of giving. Recently, I visited Jaisalmer and a place called Laungewala Yudh Sthal, where the story of how the Laungewala regiment fought during the 1971 war for our country is depicted. At the museum, they showcased how the soldiers of Laungewala survived with dedication and commitment. There, I saw a portrait with a message written on the Indian flag. It read: "We, the soldiers of our country, dream every moment about our nation. Whenever we die for our country, we should receive the warmth of our Indian flag. We have no other wish than to be reborn in our own country, India." Wow! What a commitment and what a joy it is to give one’s mind, body, and soul for our motherland, India. During the India-Pakistan war in 1971, on the 4th or 5th of December, though only a few Indian soldiers were present, their alertness and dedication to the country resulted ...

  8 Ways To Cultivate Positivity In Life.... The number 8 is a favorite for many. In Pushtimarg, Lord Krishna had male friends called Tok, Arjuna, Rishabh, Subal, Sridama, Vishal, and Bhoj—altogether, they were eight in number. These friends were his confidential companions. In the Dvapara Yuga, they were the best of friends, playing together and sharing their childhood and adolescence as peers and companions. Similarly, Radha Rani also had eight sakhis, who were the main gopis: Lalita, Vishakha, Champaklata, Chitra, Tungavidya, Indulekha, Rangadevi, and Sudevi. According to the Puranas, the Ashta Sakha and Ashta Sakhi of Radha Ji played a significant role in the beliefs and practices of various traditions. They showered immense love and care on Radha and Krishna. It is said that in the Shrinathji temple, where Lord Krishna resides, there are eight sevaks who perform kirtans for Shrinathji. The bhajans of the Ashta Chaap poets are sung during the darshan of Shrinathji. Additionally...

Mindfulness and positivity: A perfect Blend for Inner Peace When we think about mindfulness, it means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and bodily reactions, and learning from our surroundings through our natural lens—our soul. One such event I personally witnessed was the Mahakumbh, which occurs once every 144 years in our country. I was fortunate enough to take a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam, where the three sacred rivers—Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati—meet. The experience was both unimaginable and amazing. It is said that faith gives us everything, yet we often do not place enough trust in faith. Just imagine—some time ago, we faced a natural calamity, the coronavirus, which distanced us from one another. Despite the scientific advancements that brought the world closer, the pandemic forced us to stay apart to avoid infection. And now, through faith and the incredible strength of belief passed down by our ancestors, we are once again connected—this ...
