Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 18

"Anta-vanta ime dehā nityasyoktāḥ śharīriṇaḥ
Anāśhino ’prameyasya tasmād yudhyasva Bhārata"

Translation in English:

"The material body of the embodied soul is perishable, and the eternal soul within is indestructible, immeasurable, and eternal. Therefore, fight, O Arjuna."

Meaning in Hindi:

"इन शरीरों के अंत में स्थित जो नित्य आत्मा है, वही अविनाशी और अमाप्य है। इसलिए, हे भारत, तू युद्ध कर।"

In this verse,  Krishna explains to Arjuna the nature of the physical body and the eternal soul. He states that the material body is perishable and perishable, while the soul is imperishable, immeasurable and eternal. The soul is beyond understanding and transcends the boundaries of time and space. 

 



  Lord Krishna encourages Arjuna to fight  by reminding him of the eternal nature of the soul. He encourages Arjuna to perform his duties without being attached to a temporary physical body. The body may perish, but the soul is eternal and inviolable. 

 


 This verse is an appeal to  Arjuna and to all people. It teaches us to recognize the temporary nature of the physical body and focus on the eternal soul. 

Realizing the indestructible nature of the soul, one can overcome fear, attachment and doubt and perform one's duty with devotion and determination.

Vegetarianism, environment and Global Impact of Jainism

Jainism is one of the oldest religions in India that follows non-violence (ahimsa), compassion, and respect for all life forms. This religion has deep insights into modern ecological and nutritional problems as it looks at ways of dealing with environmental ethics from a Jain perspective. The paper discusses such issues as conservation, sustainable living, or global vegetarianism/veganism which are greatly influenced by this faith.

Durable Development and Conservation in Jain Environmental Ethics:One of the major teachings of Jainism is conservation. According to this belief system, every creature including plants and animals has a soul (jiva). Thus, they should be treated equally with love and care because we are all interconnected within nature’s web. Non-violence towards ecology has been given priority by Jains who believe that if we harm any part of these delicate balances then whole life will be affected negatively.

Ecologically-friendly Lifestyle based on Non-violence Concept towards NatureAnother principle concerning ecological balance or harmony is known as parihara which means avoiding harming living things unnecessarily whether small or big ones through thoughtless actions such as overconsumption; so being mindful about what needs to be done without causing harm.

इस्लाम दुनिया का एक मजहब है

इस्लाम का उदय सातवीं सदी में अरब प्रायद्वीप में हुआ। इसके अन्तिम नबी हजरत मुहम्मद सल्लल्लाहु अलैहि वसल्लम का जन्म 570 ईस्वी में मक्का में हुआ था। लगभग 613 इस्वी के आसपास हजरत मुहम्मद साहब ने लोगों को अपने ज्ञान का उपदेशा देना आरंभ किया था। इसी घटना का इस्लाम का आरंभ जाता है। हँलांकि इस समय तक इसको एक नए धर्म के रूप में नहीं देखा गया था। परवर्ती वर्षों में हजरत मुहम्म्द सहाब के अनुयायियों को मक्का के लोगों द्वारा विरोध तथा हजरत मुहम्मद साहब के मदीना प्रस्थान (जिसे हिजरा नाम से जाना जाता है) से ही इस्लामी (हिजरी) पंचांग माना गया। हजरत मुहम्मद साहब की वफात के बाद अरबों का साम्राज्य और जज़्बा बढ़ता ही गया। अरबों ने पहले मिस्र और उत्तरी अफ्रीका पर विजय प्राप्त की और फिर बैजेन्टाइन तथा फारसी साम्राज्यों को हराया। यूरोप में तो उन्हें विशेष सफलता नहीं मिली पर फारस में कुछ संघर्ष करने के बाद उन्हें जीत मिलने लगी। इसके बाद पूरब की दिशा में उनका साम्राज्य फेलता गया। सन् 1200 ईस्वी तक वे भारत तक पहुँच गए।

More than a millennium ago, a group of Zoroastrians fled religious persecution in their native country and took sanctuary on the coasts of Gujarat, India. The Parsi community's adventure in India began with this migration, and they have subsequently made major contributions to the advancement of the country.
