🧠 What loneliness does to your brain Long-term social isolation isn’t just emotionally painful — it physically changes your brain. Neuroscientists have found that people who lack meaningful social contact show reduced cognitive abilities like memory, learning, and decision-making. Over time, this isolation raises the risk of dementia and other forms of cognitive decline. Brain imaging studies reveal that loneliness can shrink gray and white matter in regions critical for thought and emotion — including the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala. These changes weaken emotional regulation and make the brain more reactive to stress, threats, and negative feelings. Isolation doesn’t only alter brain structure — it affects brain chemistry too. It activates the stress response system, increasing inflammation and fueling anxiety and depression. Social cognition — the ability to interpret others’ emotions and connect empathetically — also begins to fade, making people feel even more cut off. The good news: re-engaging socially can help reverse some of these effects. Genuine connection — whether through friendships, family, or community — is one of the most powerful ways to protect brain health, slow aging, and sustain emotional well-being throughout life.

Many years back, I was an engineer who was supposed to get paid well and supervise poor workers. But something was not right with this. I hated how construction industry worked. I left that work.....although that degree/work was the only hope I had with my very poor and struggling life. After a while, I joined back the corporate as a support guy. This job was terrible for the mental health, but it was the fastest way to get rid of negative karmas. Also, it allowed me to help people. That was a satisfactory thing about it. Down to 4 years, That decision allowed me to help more than 5000 people in a way. And this is one of the many many missions I have completed, only to be able to reach the shiva. No matter, if it doesn't pay well, no matter if it's humiliating, no matter if the entire family, friends leave, no matter even if it lives with no money to visit my spiritual teacher once in 5 years, I will do what I find right to do. You can call me egoist, but I may have worked multiple lives to land up in the situation that allows such things. Hence, the straightforward clarity on things. Which most people call arrogance. That's alright... We trust lord Mahakala. He never fails to deliver at right time, place and circumstances.

The two days’ intense course on the ‘6 Deva Dakinis’ was held in Manali, Himachal Pradesh, India by International Kaulantak Siddha Vidya Peeth (IKSVP). The course began by offering the prayers to the Supreme Goddess in the manifestation of the Dakini Goddess in front of Her ‘Deva Rath’ (a type of Himalayan Siddha Traditional idol of different Devi-Devatas). On the first day of the course, intense sessions on the ‘Darshan’ (the philosophy) of the Deva Dakinis were held. The second day of the course became one of the happiest days for many and the day full of Divine blessings for all who were present. The seekers went to visit the Supreme Goddess in Her temple of Kula Mayi, Goddess Kurukulla, the presiding Deity of Kaulantak Peeth. While in the afternoon the seekers were accompanied by their Acharyas to one of the most sacred spaces of Mahasiddha Ishaputra- The Jogini Gandha Mountain. The seekers turned into Sadhaks in the auspicious space called ‘Ishaputra Temple’ by the local people, when they chanted the powerful Dakini Mantra together in front of the sacred Dakini Yantra (sacred Geometry). Om Shri Kulant Nathaay Namah. Om Shri Gurumandalaay Namah. Om Sam Siddhaay Namah. Om Shri MahaHimalayay Namah. Om Shri Swachchanda Bhairavaay Namah. Om Shri Kulle Kurukulle Namah.

The sea shore of Puri, Odisha, India provided us with the perfect way to begin the morning on the Day One of the ‘Tejottama Yoga’ two-days’ course. The fortunate Sadhaks chose to spend the last few days of the English Year 2023 by receiving the ancient secret knowledge of the Himalayan Siddhas on the wisdom to connect with the ‘Tejas Tatva’ of the Devi-Devatas. The practitioners strived to break the limitations of their body, mind and ‘Chitta’ first and then sat steady to receive the knowledge around the philosophy, history, lineage and the techniques to connect with the subtle energy of ‘Teja’. The techniques passed on from thousands of years through generations of Siddhas, help Sadhak at every level to evolve from inside to outside. The Acharyas of the International Kaulantak Siddha Vidya Peeth (IKSVP) are dedicated to help the Sadhaks with their journey to ‘self’ through the oldest lineage of the Himalayan Siddhas of Siddha Dharm. The seekers from around the world joined the ’Tejottama Yoga’ course online with the recorded sessions available in Hindi and English languages. Om Shri Kulant Nathay Namah.

International Kaulantak Siddha Vidya Peeth is delighted to share that we are going to hold a 2 day sadhana course on Kularnava Tantra on 25th and 26th of October 2025. Kularnava Tantra is one of the most sacred and systematic works in the Siddha Dharma Tantric school of thought, particularly in the Kaula and Shakta–Shaiva schools of thought. It is regarded as a primary scripture that interprets the philosophy, practices, and intention that aims at the union of Shiva (pure consciousness) and Shakti (divine energy). Kularnava is a term that means "the ocean of the Kula," representing the vastness and depth of divine knowledge enshrined in this divine text. Composed as a conversation between Bhagwan Swachchhand Bhairava Shiva and Goddess Kurukulla, the Kularnava Tantra offers an entire spiritual journey — from the external rituals and devotional practices to the very innermost realizations of the Divine. The Kularnava Tantra instructs that all of creation emerges from the union of Shiva and Shakti, and that liberation (moksha) is attained when one becomes aware of this divine unity within one's own being. It highlights that the world is not distinct from the divine but a living manifestation of it. Thus, the objective of Tantra is not to abandon the world, but to perceive the divine in everything and live with spiritual consciousness. The text provides precise directions on Guru-disciple relationships, where the Guru is the living Shiva who introduces the disciple to the secrets of the Kaulantak Peeth. It emphasizes that initiation (diksha) is the entry point to genuine spiritual understanding, and without this, one cannot appreciate the complete potential of Tantric practice. Practically, the Kularnava Tantra speaks about mantra, yantra, meditation, ritual worship, and inner cleansing, all with the aim of arousing the spiritual energy called Kundalini. It delineates that real worship is not exterior rites alone but the inner apprehension of the Divine presence in one's own body and mind. The scripture also cautions against mere practice and demands that only honest devotion, self-restraint, and the guidance of an authentic Guru can bring about spiritual realization. Its teachings transcend religion and philosophy; they offer a living process to change human consciousness. Among the sacred traditions of the Kaulantak Peeth, the Kularnava Tantra has a particularly significant position. Kaulant Peeth is among the most ancient and powerful Tantric thrones in the Himalayas, which is believed to be a seat centering the original teachings of Himalayan Tantra preserved and practiced there. The Peeth considers Kularnava Tantra to be one of its core scriptures — a scripture which delineates its philosophy, rituals, and lifestyle. The sadhanas done at Kaulant Peeth, like mantra sadhana, meditation, and sacred initiations, are usually based on the guidelines presented in this scripture. The Peeth also looks at the Kularnava Tantra as a bridge between human existence and the consciousness of God, leading seekers to self-realization through controlled practice and sincere devotion. Therefore, the Kularnava Tantra is not only an ancient text but a living manual for spiritual seekers within Kaulant Peeth. It bridges the eternal wisdom of Shiva and Shakti with the living tradition of the Himalayan Siddhas. Through reading and adherence to its teachings, followers come to balance the material and spiritual worlds, to perceive the divine in life's every situation, and finally, to realize the oneness of existence. In doing so, the Kularnava Tantra remains the core of the Kaulant Peeth's spiritual philosophy and a source of Tantric wisdom to future generations.

Karva Chauth is a traditional Hindu festival celebrated by married women in India. On this day, wives observe a day-long fast from sunrise to moonrise for the long life, prosperity, and well-being of their husbands. Women dress beautifully in festive attire, apply mehndi (henna) on their hands, and gather together to listen to the Karva Chauth Katha (story). In the evening, after sighting the moon through a sieve, they offer prayers and then break their fast after their husbands offer them water and the first bite of food. The festival symbolizes love, devotion, and the sacred bond between husband and wife. #karvachauth2025 #karvachauth #hindu #sanatan #siddhadharma #jaishreeram #jaikalki #jaisambhalasamrajya #scrolllink

"जो कुछ भी हो, जीवित रहो। मृत्यु से पहले मत मरना। खुद को खो मत देना, उम्मीद मत खोना, दिशा मत खोना। खुद से, अपने शरीर की हर कोशिका से, अपनी त्वचा की हर तंतु से जीवित रहो। जीवित रहो, सीखो, अध्ययन करो, सोचो, पढ़ो, बनाओ, आविष्कार करो, रचनात्मक बनो, बोलो, लिखो, सपने देखो, डिज़ाइन करो। अपने भीतर जीवित रहो, बाहर भी जीवित रहो, दुनिया के रंगों से अपने आप को भरो, शांति से अपने आप को भरो, आशा से अपने आप को भरो। खुशी से जीवित रहो। जिंदगी में सिर्फ एक ही चीज़ है जिसे तुम्हें व्यर्थ नहीं करना चाहिए, और वो है खुद ज़िंदगी..." #life #hope #knowledge #strenght #scrolllink #death

भरतमुनि के अनुसार, नाट्य केवल मनोरंजन का साधन नहीं, बल्कि जीवन के रहस्यों को व्यक्त करने का माध्यम है। यह ब्रह्मा द्वारा रचित एक दिव्य वेद है, जिसमें ऋग्वेद से शब्द, सामवेद से संगीत, यजुर्वेद से अभिनय और अथर्ववेद से भाव लिए गए हैं। नृत्य और नाटक के माध्यम से मनुष्य ईश्वर के लीला रूप को अनुभव करता है, और रस के माध्यम से आनंद की अनुभूति करता है यही नाट्य का परम उद्देश्य है। #NatyaShastra #BharataMuni #NrityaSadhna #DanceOfDivinity #IndianClassicalDance #SacredExpression #BhavAbhinaya #AncientWisdom #BharatanatyamSoul #SpiritualRhythm #ArtOfLife

The idea of Akhand Bharat holds great importance as it reflects the vision of unity, cultural harmony, and shared heritage across the Indian subcontinent. It symbolizes the belief that the regions which once shared common history, traditions, and spiritual values can stand together in peace and cooperation. Akhand Bharat is not just about geographical boundaries, but about strengthening bonds of brotherhood, respect, and mutual growth among people who have deep cultural and historical ties. Its importance lies in reminding us of our collective identity, rich civilization, and the need to overcome divisions for a stronger, more united future rooted in harmony and prosperity.' -Life Unfold. #akhandBharat #scrolllink #rashtra #love #matribhumi #BharatMata

Helping others is one of the greatest purposes of life because it creates kindness, connection, and meaning. When we extend a hand to someone in need, we not only ease their struggles but also enrich our own hearts with compassion and gratitude. Acts of service, whether big or small, ripple outward—spreading hope, building trust, and inspiring others to do the same. Life becomes more fulfilling when it is not lived only for oneself, but shared with others in a spirit of generosity and care. In helping others, we discover the true joy and strength of being human.' -Life Unfold #scrolllink #maya #mayotube #incircle #BigXprime #Mayopedia
