Meditation and its Importance. 

What is it, firstly? 

Meditation is when giving up everything you have in the outside world for a while; you close your outer eye and open your inner eye - one which is unseen.

Most of you would be thinking - what is an inner eye? Or you would not believe me saying. But it is there! Just because it is unseen, it does not mean it is non-existent since all the best of the world lies unseen. 

What role does it play in one’s life?

Primarily, it gives you time and strength to calm down. When seen closely, it makes you realise that all the energy lies within you. As a matter of fact, I’m sure we all know what a chakra is. A layer of energy! But did you know? There are 114 chakras in your body if seen inwards (Outwards-7).

To know yourself, when you meditate, your inner eye looks for the keys to these chakras, opening them; one by one. At the point at which all is down to zero, you lie low while your soul’s ability lies high. Now that is spiritual awakening. 

When you achieve control over your breath, you become InvictusAll the energy lies within you. All you need to do is channelise it in the right direction with meditation; for you to be infinite. 

That’s when I say, “To thine, own self be true.”

Independence Day - Ritesh Gaire

15th August is a special day for Indians as they celebrate it as Independence Day to pay tribute to India's freedom fighters and leaders who fought for India's freedom.

It was on 15th August 1947 that India was declared independent from British colonialism. And the reins of control were handed over to the leaders of our country. 

India's gaining of independence was a tryst with destiny, as the struggle for freedom was long and tiresome - witnessing the sacrifices of many freedom fighters who laid their lives on the line.

We should always be grateful to the freedom fighters who fought for freedom. We should thank those men and women who did not bother about their happiness but instead thought of the honour of their mother country. 

They are the ones who gave us the country we live in, the free air we breathe in. They gave us the scented soil we are proud of. They gave us the dignity we deserve as citizens of the Indian subcontinent.
