Spiritual Health

We have the fantastic world of our thoughts, which are the products of the biochemical reactions and movement of ions in and out of the neuron cells of our brain, we call them as 'Thought Processes.' We have evolved and developed them in a natural evolutionary process of millions of years. These are behind the creation of success story of the species Homo sapiens, which put them at the apex of the animal kingdom with its immense powers (both negative and positive). So, we have a factory of different thought processes in our brain which are churning out various thoughts continuously. We have roots of all our thoughts in our evolutionary history, and it's biology. During the journey of the evolution of thoughts in Homo sapiens from the basic animal thoughts to the modern human views of culture, science, and philosophy, Human ideas evolved with all their negativities as well. The capacities of the human brain are due to its effective thought processes. As the Homo sapiens ...

#SpiritualHealth Energy is the universe and universe is energy. We can understand it with this simple scientific logic that each and every object living or non-living is made of atoms, and atoms are made up of many subatomic particles, if we peek inside those atoms we will find different strata of energy spinning around a nucleus, we call it atomic energy. It is not possible for the universe to exist without energy. Similarly, life is energy. Plants store energy from the sun and pass it to food chain which runs the life in the animal kingdom. From the strict laws of physics, energy cannot be divided into the categories of positive energy and negative energy, but we have positive and negative impact of energy on our health, social and cultural life. So, that energy which have good results for our health and life, we call it positive energy and if it is adverse then we call it as negative energy. We can understand it with a simple example, suppose somebody run for a distance to d...

YOU CAN BUY THE BOOK "SPIRITUAL HEALTH" HERE #SpiritualHealth Religiosity can potentially change our thoughts to extremist thoughts. In such a situation someone can kill themselves or can kill others. We are witnessing both the circumstances around us globally. When eleven people of one family in Delhi kill themselves on the name of some belief or religious ritual, indeed, it is the transformation of religious thought process into an extreme thought process. It turned into a psychological disorder, which appeared in its cruel forms without any apparent signs and symptoms since religious rituals are considered normal in society, and when we noticed it, it has spoiled many lives. It is evident in all such incidences in the recent past. In our society, we erroneously take religion and spirituality as the same or synonymous. In fact, we follow a religion, belief, cult or guru for spiritual peace and it is their prime duty to nurture and develop our spirit...

          (You Can Buy "Spiritual Health" written by Dr. Mahesh Bhatt Here) Science is the systemic study of nature. Science is the result of our critical thinking process. It started with our critical thinking ability to look into the different natural processes, and initially, we ended up calling them miracles of nature. So, it pushed us to make room for hypothetical thinking. In this process, we created many possible explanations to understand all that was happening around us, in that process we created many theoretical concepts, including the existence of some supernatural power (God)—people of different faiths name it and imagine it in various forms. All of this was a continuous effort by our brain to know Nature and its functioning. We created many mythological characters that can do what our brain thinks to do. Characters that can treat our illnesses, characters that can fly, characters that can see the things in remote areas, c...

Any belief system is made up of specific thoughts and dogma, these thoughts and doctrine make the core of it and work as a cohesive force for binding and attracting its followers for different aims and objectives. Most of the time these aims and objectives are defined by the various human needs, those may be social, cultural, religious, and spiritual. Therefore, the thoughts behind any belief system have two components, one is the component of humanity and human values, it has the ideas of love, brotherhood, and compassion among its followers and the second component which potentially become larger in due course of time is its practices and rituals which create its identity. Interestingly in all belief systems, the first component will remain common, it makes the foundation for their existence. It is the second component which is projected as the face of the different belief systems since it separates one from another. Many myths and conceptions are created, they are required for tw...

'Spiritual Thought Process' and 'Spirituality' is difficult to define. The definition will depend on our other thought processes of religion, culture, philosophy, and science. Apart from these common traits many personal traits which primarily based on our genetic makeup and they have direct effects on our thought processes will play their role in shaping our definition of Spirituality. So, we can say that we have our own Spiritual Thought Process to define Spirituality which depends on various cultural, religious, social, and personal determinants and makes it complicated. We can simplify the complexity by understanding the evolution of human brain and its different thought processes and development of humanity and human values which happened because of changes in the codes of our DNA as a result of millions of years of evolutionary mechanism. If we look into the simple development of our thought processes in our life, we can easily understand that h...

If we consider the vastness of natural developmental history, history of the development of human civilization is tiny, it is only for last few thousand years, in this short span we have created several beliefs and religions, some of them are existing today, and some of them have disappeared. In this process, we can easily hypothesize that science may be a future religion since science in its present form appeared on the landscape of human intelligence only a few hundred years back. Scientifically spirituality and spiritual thinking both are the part of the same process, where several positive or negative thoughts take shape in our brain. Among a broad spectrum of thoughts throughout the day, we have specific thoughts which question the existence of our ‘ Self.' We have questions in front of us ‘Who I am?’; ‘What is life?’; ‘What is the purpose of life?’; ‘What happens to us after death?’; ‘What is the universe?’; ‘Who made this?’; ‘When and how it starts?’; ...

Nature, especially in the mountains in the Himalayas has all its beauty, vibrancy and silent magnanimity creates a strong sense of mysticism. While on a tracking tour last week from Chopta to Chandarshila, a steep track of about five kilometers at the height of approximately 10,000 to 13,000 feet, with perfect weather conditions, bright sunshine, snow and chilling wind welcomed us. With our slow steps towards the famous Tungnath Temple and Chandrashila peak in Uttarakhand India, we were able to hear our heartbeats in the stillness of calm nature. The blue sky appeared extraordinarily beautiful from mountains with some flying clouds here, and there were visible as if strokes of a painter on the vast canvas of sky. Spirituality in all the forms of spiritual thought processes was just playing its beautiful, awesome games in front of us, in the colossal snow clad Himalayan mountains, it attracts people from all over the globe. The mother nature is the most potent motivator to all types ...

Stephen Hawking is no more. This news makes his followers all over the world sad. His contribution as a scientist and philosopher helped in creating a different set of thought processes in the collective human consciousness. People all over the globe correlated his scientific thoughts to their personal and religious views. His area of work was that part of our human existence which challenges our human intelligence the most. The two fundamental questions related to our existence are "Where from we came?" and "Where we will go?" These two questions make the basis for all kind of knowledge and theories in religion, philosophies, and science. His work on the theories of the origin of universe, cosmos and its future were his efforts to provide the scientific understanding to these questions to the collective human intelligence. All of us are the part of a continuous ongoing process in the quest for knowledge and searching the answers to these two fundamental question...

Happiness and bliss is an emotion related to our wellbeing. It can range from a sense of contentment to real joy. Happiness is considered the most mental perception of our wellbeing . So, we can say that happiness is a happy mental state. United Nations declared the 20 th March as the ‘International Day of Happiness,' to recognize the social importance of the joy in every sphere of life. Bliss is defined as a state of magnified happiness. It occurs with some personal achievements, contentment, and fulfillment. Bliss is described differently in different faiths and religions as happiness. Biologically bliss and happiness are the products of the same thought processes in our brain. Religious concepts define pleasure according to their fundamental beliefs and objectives. The idea of eternal bliss in religions is purely a religious thought process. Eternal bliss is considered the supreme level of happiness, where we can have joy without boundaries. Different reli...

Spirituality is a highly developed thought process of the human brain, which is there in the coding of our DNA, and which happens because of millions and millions of years of natural evolutionary and developmental mechanism that resulted in the collective human consciousness and collective human intelligence reflected in the concepts of humanity and human values and put the human beings at the apex of the animal kingdom. This is the reason that Spiritual Health is considered as an important dimension of human health. How we can define spirituality and spiritual health in the context of scientific, religious and cultural grounds? How spirituality and religiosity have ambiguities in their definitions and expressions and how they need to be understood in the light of scientific reasoning. How spirituality and spiritual health can act as a good, preventive and promotional tool at individual, local and global levels in all dimensions of our health, social and political pr...
