Democracy is defined as a rule of the people since the concept of Democracy originated in ancient Greece with the term coming from Greek words 'Demos' (people) and 'Kratos'  (rule). It is well thought to be the best form of government to promote intrinsic values of freedom and equality and enable citizens to play a role in their own governance.     Democracy works best when they give incentives to pursue policies which benefit the citizens. Following are some of the major obstacles to democratic performance and to democratic stability - structural making them difficult to resolve but worth understanding. 1. Costs of identity Politics. 2. Economic insecurity and inequality. 3. Authoritarian threats. 4. Democracy and clientelism. 5.

Vagus is the latin word for wandering.Vagus nerve is the main channel of communication between GI tract and the brain which sends signals in both diractions. It takes a long wandering course through the body. Vagus nerves are the longest cranial nerve running from brain to large intestine. Left side nerve runs down left side and right one runs down right side of the body. They exit from medulla oblongata in lower brain stem that connects to spinal cord.  Medulla oblongata being a connection between the brain stem and spinal cord controls breathing, heart rate and blood pressure carrying multiple functional centers like cardiovascular - respiratory regulation system descending motor tracts, and origin of cranial nerves ix, x, xi and xii.  If this is damaged, can lead to respiratory failure  paralysis or loss of sensation.           Vagus nerve carry signals between the brain, heart and immune system. They are key part of parasympathetic nervous system. Vagus nerve stimulation can treat

Brain - a complex organ weighing about 3 pounds in an average adult is about 60% fat, remaining 40% is a combination of Carbohydrates, Salt, Protein and Water. Brain, not a muscle contains blood vessels and nerves including neurons and cells. It controls memory, thoughts, touch, emotion, vision, breathing, motor skills, temprature, hunger and every process that regulates our body. The brain and spinal cord that extends from it make up central nervous system.  The Brain consists of three main structures - Cerebrum, Cerebellum and Brain stem. Brain communicates with the majority of body through spinal cord.  Cerebrum - Located at the front and top up of the skull is the largest part of brain which controls muscle functions, concious and unconcious behaviors, sensory information, memory and intelligence, reading, writing, learning. It comprise two types of tissues - Grey matter and White matter. Grey matter forms surface of each cerebral hemisphere associated with cognition and processing

Karma is a concept fundamental to many spiritual traditions. It shapes our lives through intricate webs of cause and effect. Exploring its timing reveals an intriguing insight into how actions and consequences are intertwined. All actions have their own timeframe leading to chain of effects that can change our situation. Whether we do good or bad, makes effect on result when it happens.      Many a times, we do feel that people who do good have to suffer, and the ones doing wrong enjoying.

Numerology is a mystical ancient pra ctice which is based on the concept that numbers hold significant meaning and influence on our lives. The concept is that each number holds unique vibration which can provide insights into various aspects of our existence. These vibrations can signify strengths, weaknesses, challenges and opportunities of our lives. It is not just about calculating sums instead a complex system which involves the interpretation of different numbers and their combinations.

Aging is commonly used to name the progressive decay of organism's function in later life. While enough progress has been made in extending the average expected lifespan, preserving youthfulness still remains a topic of more than reality. The inflation of aged over the younger generation and the substantial growth of care expenditure lead to economic and social stress which needs to be addressed.  As such, focus has shifted from lifespan to healthspan for the older people.   Sarcopenia is the condition which commonly affects the elderly population and is thought to occur due to aging. It is a major factor causing in increased falls and fractures These conditions can lead to hospitalisations and surgeries which increases the risk of complications and even death. It causes to the people above 60 to both sexes equally and to the people with high body mass (Obesity).  The natural aging process gradually begins losing muscle mass and strength during the age of 30-40. It picks up when pe

While watching falling raindrops from windows of my room,  song which clicked up in my mind 'Disillusioned fool' stating as its lyrics goes in the beginning -                  "Raindrops are falling from my windows Teardrops are falling from my eyes, Memories keep                    creeping through shadows of my mind, thoughts of love at times                   thus, finally leaving me as disillusioned fool" It remains a fact that as we age, our memories takes us upon a special significance and makes us end up as a disillusioned fool.  Life is like a river constantly flowing and changing course but memories serve as a stepping stone creating a path we can look back on. They act like chapters of a book, telling our story from childhood throughout the ups and downs that define us. Memories help us establish connection with others so does the shared memories strengthen our relationships, whereas divergent ones may lead to conflicts or misunderstanding. Memories play a c

In our lives, we have given many excuses and reasons for various things. Everyday we hear that someone want  to do something but can't. People always try to block themselves on different occasions by using 'ifs'and 'buts' often used in negative sentences.    The terms 'if' and 'but' are used to explain the reason by the people for not able/wanting to do something. By doing this, they are trying to put condition on a much deserved good actions by doubting that would even happen. These two words can even be a barrier in the path of success.People with that attitude in their lives  remain mostly unsuccessful since they donot welcome anything in life without these two words.           'If ' stand to show that you don't believe something is possible. It is used in conditional sentences in which an event or situation might be happening or have happened. If pulls us backward into unalterable past and forward into unpredictable future.   'But

Uncertainty is a normal part of life rather coping with it can be difficult. When we resist uncertainty, we create unnecessary stress and anxiety, when we go, we can find inner peace even during the toughest times. There are two types of uncertainities comes in the life are - Uncertainity due to lack of knowledge and second is Uncertainity due to unpredictibility or randomness. Uncertainity exerts a strong pull on our ability to act, leaving us in a suspended waiting game.  For example - With so much of uncertainity in the world, many retirees are anxious about their future. The glass reality is half empty for many who have no paychecks have some 25 to 30 years of runway in front of them. Many are asked to do the impossible - remain calm, cool and collected as they deal with great unknowns and navigate in the dark while making sure that they have enough money for the next 30 years in retirement. Living too long is both a blessing and a curse and comes with a heavy price tag. Trying to

Further to my earlier two posts on the subject, I make an attempt to explain seven levels of Karma. Needless to say the amount of karmic Debt is accrued by performing destructive acts, abusing power or knowingly cheating others. Karmic Debt is the main consequences of past life choices. But before one understand about Karmic debt, one must know about the reincarnation  i.e. cycle of birth and rebirth. When the physical body dies, soul comes back to life in another form and tries to right the wrongs of the past or waits to receive the awards of the past good  Having  Karmic debt is not the end of the world There are ways to repay debts but first step is to ensure whether one is Karmically liable or not. Since karmas really run our lives, it is upto us to figure out their placement. Following information will give a sense about how to give significance to any feeling one get about an experience with other  First of all, one should understand that roughly about 80% of debts involves the p

 In continuation of my last post on the subject, I am to state - Karmic debt numbers indicate mistakes one has done in the past lifetimes. In numerology, all numbers carry a unique vibration and applications to our lives. Personal numerology charts can help  to give insights to our passions, destinies even our subconscious struggles. While everyone has certain core numbers in their charts such as  life path numbers. some people also have what are known as karmic debt numbers. Their meaning  relates to the trials and tribulations which continuosly show up in their   lives - they are there to teach us valuable spiritual lessons.  The idea is that our Souls carry both wisdom and burdens from the circumstances we faced or mistakes we did in our previous lives. These karmic deeds can be clarified  to us through the magic of numbers. While everyone does not have a karmic number which is actually pretty common and nothing to be afraid of. Once we acknowledge and understand karmic debt which w

Feeling stuck up continuously in a negative cycle of some kind, one feels repetitive bad luck, negative times, hard times and difficult relationships  which seems that  it is completly out of control, Karmic debt can empower you to  break the cycle. Karmic debt theory is linked to Numerology which is based on past life experiences. Karmic debt numbers - 13,14,16 and 19 which is the simple method invovlving date of birth with the Karmic debt numbers. Numerology is believed to give insights into everything from life's destiny to who we are compatible with. More so, it can also clue one into the Karmic debt which one might be carrying from past lives. In Numerology, Karmic debt describes something occured in past life that one is now making amends for in this lifetime.  There is no equation for calculating Karmic debt, one has to look simply into own numerology chart.  Karmic debt is indicated in numerology birth chart with one or more of the following numbers - 13,14,16,19. If any of

Planets are considered to play a major role in the life of each human being. Planets have particular functions in the natal chart and represent special energies. The effects of these planets are influenced by  the Zodiac sign it occupies. As senses control our body, Planets control the possibilities and potentialities of a person's life and energies based on their positions in the sky. These planets are worshipped for good luck to overcome the adversity arising from past karmas or birth related defects. The Panets contain specific vibrations in the cosmos influencing mind and different body parts.  There are nine planets in Solar system and nine numbers on which all material calculations are based. Each planet rules on a particular sign of the twelve zodiac signs and has a individual specific characteristics, vibration that influences the person born under its ruler ship. Each Planet represents a different segment of our lives, energy, vibe. They rule over  different parts of our p

The Sun and Planets formed together about 1.6 billion years back from a cloud of gas and dust called Solar Nebula.A shock wave  from a nearby explosion probably initiated initiated the collapse of Solar Nebula. The Sun formed in the center and Planets formed in a thin disk orbiting around it. Similarly, Moon formed orbiting the gas giant  P lanets. Comets condensed in outer solar system with many of them thrown out to great distances by close gravitational encounters with giant planets.      A Planet is a celestial body (object pertaining to sky beyond Earth's atmosphere pertaining to spiritual or invisible heaven. Located in Orbit around Sun, containing enough mass for its self- gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium ( almost round type) shape, and cleared neighborhood around its orbit.Hydrostatic is a branch of physics dealing with characteristics of fliuds at rest with the pressure or exerted in a fluid on an immersed body compare hydr

It happens quite sometimes phrases in English mean something different than they seem. If one translates idioms like "think out of box", litteraly meaning may be confusing. It means that one is indifferent to rules and standards imposed upon, and do things in your own way. Thoughts are shadows of our feelings - always dark, simple and empty. More the man meditates upon good thoughts,better will be his world and the world at large. In fact, genius is one percent inspiration and ninty nine percent perspiration. Success is the sum of small efforts - repeated day in day out..       Thinking out of box allows one to get rewards outside of reach. Thinking out of box can save one from  headaches of pursuing a perceived problem ending with uninventive, semi-effectual solutions. Instead of chasing shadows, one can work own way around the boundaries and explore the bigger picture. One may discover other resources that might be available, spot gaps and indeed inspire to design to teh id

After leaving the body, Soul leaves in the realm ( a region, sphere or domain within which anything occurs) of unconscious and experience their Karmic Pain or Pleasure. This gap of time continues until the very strongest subtle impression raises and its karmas of the past life push the soul to take rebirth.  Birth takes place when nature finds a body that meets the need of  our Karmic impressions and brings us the parents who have the similar Karmic impressions. This process provides the sense of  security to the unconscious mind. Then the Pranic forces re-emerges from nature and give life to the body and the Soul (Jiva) enters the fetus.  Our Upnishads says that in Pregnancy formation of Brain and Concious mind gets done which provides soul with tools to think and feel. Due to absence of sensory diversion, unconcious mind of the fetus is more active  and experiences the unconciousness intensely. The Soul knows about its rebirth. It remembers  the past life and also the reason of its r
