Mythological Talks -

Redefining Seeta

Ramayana or the spiritual significance of it needs no introduction in India or even, worldwide. The story of Ramayana is eternal – without a beginning or an end; retold by generations to generations preserving the original essence. When we hear the word, Ramayana – our human brain rolls it in a linear storyline – a kingdom of joy, a happy marriage, an evil step-mother, an exile, a cruel play of destiny, heroic prince with all weapons rescuing his wife, reunion, and then a dot of prejudice on a white tapestry. Let’s redefine these familiar slides in a new way to make them trailblazing inspiration for women of today and the future. So, what is missing in this grand epic of Ramayana…? The true essence of Seeta – her courage, her grit, and her resilience.

SECRET STROTRAM -
LAW OF CORRESPONDENCE

We are constantly nurtured by the universe and the universal laws empower us for spiritual awakening. Like the Law of attraction, the law of oneness, the law of reincarnation, the law of karma, the law of correspondence guides us on how to bring in the desired change in our external, internal and spiritual world. It works like magic if we control our unwanted, negative, cluttered thoughts and manifest goodness and positivity. The philosophy of the Law of correspondence is to make us fully aware that what we not only create the environment around us but also shape our own role. Be ready to open up to embrace goodness, re-imagine all the good and beautiful things about the world, begin to change ourselves to be more positive, transform the environment around us and discover harmony and peace within ourselves and in our surroundings.

Let's make less greater than more -
The Minimalism Mindset

In life, our dreams are getting bigger than before. We are getting so busy that we forget to take a pause in between our schedules.


The future is so demanding in terms of responsibilities and change, that we are chasing ourselves only to fulfill those demands. We are getting so away from our natural origin (divine powers), that we now know only our artificial identity (human-created) Can we stop here for a second and think about something we never thought of before. Rest…. rejuvenate…smile…embrace……let your creative juice flow and positive energy fill up your mind and body. Remove the clutter of excess things, thoughts, tasks… Make life simple with less…let’s try to do something different, Make an amazing deal…. like let’s make less great than more.. HOW? It’s not so easy; I agree but let’s think like this…

WHY SHOULD WE ADOPT A MINIMALIST MINDSET?

Do you understand your purpose in life?

Do you have the courage to leave your comfort zone, think in new ways and step out into A World of New Possibilities? In a society consumed by competition, debt, greed, consumerism and envy; can we change the way we view the world and objects around us? Can we change our perception? We spend our entire lives in chasing happiness by chasing our goals, status, honour, social acceptance, consuming and collecting goods but still we are not satisfied or depressed or lonely or left out in the rat race. Can we try to just live happily? Can we focus on time and awareness rather than stuff, things and collectibles? We can connect to this type of thinking from Japanese concept of MA – minimalism approach.

FIND YOUR EL-DORADO (TREASURE)

Hi and Hello everyone,
:
I am Harshada, and I am happy to interact with the most energetic and enthusiastic crowd through this OTT platform.

Now, rather than giving out a long speech or boring lecture, let me share with you an interesting story.
:
This is an ancient legend/folklore that has been passed down through many generations and retold in many different versions.
:
:
:
The Muisca tribe was part of the big four tribes that lived deep in the Andes Mountains. Their civilization sat in what is now Colombia. The Muisca people were mainly into the mining business and had good knowledge about the minerals, elements, and precious stones found in the cavity of the earth. They had a special tradition to be followed when a new king rose to power.
:
:
:
The ceremony states that before an individual is allowed to become the tribe’s chief, they have to first spend a specific duration time in a cave, without salt products, and meditate in deep isolation. After that, the individual ventures to Lake Guatavita, to take part in the ceremony or the ceremonial process.
:

:
:
It is believed that during this ceremony the chief-to-be was covered in gold jewelry and dust; and stood on a raft, decorated with the tribe’s most attractive offerings of gemstones, golds, and diamonds. The raft was then pushed off from the shore to sail in Lake Guatavita. When the raft reached the middle of the lake, the joyous people threw offerings of gold coins, diamonds, and gemstones in the lake to appease the Water God. This symbolized a new rule being initiated and from there on the individual was proclaimed as king.
:
:
:
In the late 15th and 16th centuries, the Spanish explorers were so amazed by the truth in the story that it prompted them to further search for a city or village, where they believed the tribal gold existed beneath the land and water.
:
:
:
In 1545, they found Lake Guatavitá and drained it. Although they found some traces of gold the city of lost gold or EL DORADO was not found. EL DORADO is a Spanish word meaning – THE GOLD in English. Famous explorers like Gonzalo, Francisco, and Sir Walter continued the quest.
:
:
:
The search for the lost city of El Dorado continued for years but explorers never gave up. Many others also spent years searching but they never discovered the city.
:
:

In the end, it was concluded that El Dorado, the city of untold riches, never existed. The land near Lake Guatavitá was found, but it did not contain the mythical riches that explorers sought.

This story delivers an insightful thought –

  • El-Dorado exists not outside but inside you.
  • The purpose of your life is to discover your strength – your own El-dorado.
  • Like a wild explorer, you need to discover your inner potential. You need to probe deep into your inner self and explore your abilities, strengths, & weakness to realize who you are and build on them.
  • Only you can discover yourself.
  • A wise man once said the richest place in the world is not a laboratory, museum, or library but GRAVEYARD – bcos because it has many unused ideas, potentials, and talents eroding in the dust.
  • Potential is a priceless treasure like gold. All of us have treasure hidden within, but we have to dig deep within to get it out. — So, start on your adventure to find your El-Dorado…
