Lord Vishnu, the energy responsible for running creation, ensures that one is amply warned and reminded of his/her karma at various stages. Creation, and life, as a part of creation, is governed by karmas. Karmas decide what you are and where you are headed. Life runs in a spiral, the physical life is a downward moving spiral and spiritual life is an upward spiral. Physical life pertains to the gratification of five senses — a life of selfishness. Such a life paves way to entry to lower dimensions and lower levels of existence and more painful births. Spiritual life starts when one can feel the pain of others and works to reduce that pain — a move towards selflessness. Under the influence of maya, the glue that binds us to the physical, one forgets the path of karma and is driven into the whirlpool of destruction by living for just self. Lord Vishnu, the energy responsible for running creation, ensures that one is amply warned and reminded of his/her karma at variou...

NEW DELHI: With cases of  vigilantism over cow  going up, a number of animal rights NGOs have become vocal over the issue of  gau rakshaks  taking the law into their own hands. While these groups have been trying to highlight cases of illegal cow trafficking through the police, they say the recent attack by a vigilante group makes things tougher for them. Dhyan Foundation ,  one such  NGO , has been working against illegal smuggling of cows and camels across Delhi-NCR region which has led to high volatility on the ground recently.

"Such attacks by vigilante groups makes it more difficult for NGOs that are trying to sort things out peacefully. We got to know about a couple of cases recently but we approached the police so that the violators could be caught through the course of law. ...

Two young volunteers of NGO Dhyan Foundation on Saturday saved life of a cow by pulling her out of the bed of the Sidhwan canal here. An abandoned cow fell into the canal near Sigma College of Nursing here. For hours, she was not able to get out on her own as it was difficult to climb the several feet high concrete slope of the canal’s bank. The case was brought to the notice of the Dhyan Foundation whose volunteers Dushyant and Mithun reached the spot. Both rushed to the spot and tried to seek help to pull her out. The help of the police was also sought which did not come about.  Both volunteers finally arranged a rope and pulled the cow with it after a long struggle. Both also sustained minor injuries in the process. “We are taught by Yogi Ashwini Ji to selflessly help the weak and those in distress, be it a human being, animals, bird or even plants which fall within out sight,: said Dushyant, a young entrepreneur and DF volunteer .

The Bhagvad Gita clearly states that a society functions by following the footsteps of the prominent people—the Adarsh Purushs. There was a time when a yug was called Satyug, or the era of truthfulness. During that time, the Guru and the Ruler were the Adarsh Purushs; the ruler was guided by the Guru while the Guru was not tied to maya or personal gains, and lived for the betterment of society. Evolution of the being was the prime goal. The ruler on the instruction of the Guru worked for the people and left everything to join the Guru in the ashram. When the time for vanaprastha came, the kingdom was given to the heirs and the real journey towards reality would begin under the Guru’s guidance. The resources of the places of worship and the royal treasury were dedicated to supporting the needy. Holding the Guru’s hand, the shishya undertook the journey from the darkness of ignorance to light of gyan —“Tamso maa jyotir gamaya”. This social model was perfect and flawless. Its remnan...
