The Inevitability of Death and the Journey Beyond
Life and death

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Author: Maulana Wahiduddin Khan Gopinath Pandurang Munde (12 December 1949—3 June 2014) was a senior political leader of India. In the general elections held in May 2014, he achieved a spectacular victory and was selected as a cabinet minister in the union government. On June 4, 2014, he was to take charge of his ministry. But only one day before, that is, on June 3, he met with a road accident and died on the spot.

How consistent meditation fosters inner peace and connection

That day Gopinath Munde was on his way to the Indira Gandhi International Airport to fly to Mumbai. He was going to address a victory rally scheduled in Beed and Parali in Maharashtra. But before reaching the airport, his end came about. Thus, Gopinath Munde left behind all his successes of the pre-death period and entered the post-death period all alone. This is not the case of a single person; it is the case of every man and woman. Every person tries hard to build a world of his own. But before attending his victory day celebrations, he dies at the point of no return. Death is everyone's fate. No one can escape from dying. There is a verse in the Quran in chapter Al-Ê'Ankabut (The Spider): "Every soul shall taste death." (29:57) This is the law of nature and there is no exception to this law. Death reminds us that the present world is not our final abode. We have to prepare ourselves for the world hereafter. Death is only a reminder of the fact that everyone is doomed to enter the other world. Successful is one who prepares himself for the post-death period before death.

Shiva: From 'I' to 'We' – The Journey Beyond Self
Shiva: From 'I' to 'We' – The Journey Beyond Self
In the silence between two heartbeats, in the stillness behind a thought, in the breath that forgets itself—He resides. He is the most disorganised chaos and the most organised order. He is the one who dances wildly in cremation grounds and yet meditates in serene stillness atop Mount Kailash. He is Shiva—formless yet the source of all forms, finite in appearance but infinite in essence.

Benefits of Having a Life Partner
While some may prefer living alone to avoid conflicts and disappointments, there is a risk of losing direction without a concrete goal to follow. Living in solitude can lead to self-righteousness as one is not accountable to anyone but themselves. On the contrary, being with a life partner helps in developing interpersonal skills and virtues that shape us into better individuals.

Gardening: A Therapeutic Escape from Urban Life
A former colleague in a new job found she had to commute two plus two hours daily, a total of four hours, just to get to her workplace and back, taking three different modes of transportation, leaving home at 7:45 am and returning after 9:00 pm. Initially distressed and tired, she soon found a way to boost her spirits. In her modest home in Delhi, on the rooftop, she began to grow flowering and other plants in pots, tending them either before leaving for work or after reaching home late at night. Flowers are restful to look at. They have neither emotions nor conflicts, points out Sigmund Freud.

The Fascinating World of Synesthesia: When Senses Mix and Creativity Flourishes
Can words be tasted on the tongue? Can sounds be seen as colored shapes? Such questions are not hypothetical, nor are they psychedelic hallucinations. They refer to a well-documented neurological condition called synesthesia, in which the senses of taste, sight, and sound synthesize and intermingle to form a new sense or senses, which are a combination of two separate anatomical perceptions. Medical science does not generally deem synesthesia to be an aberration needing treatment or corrective t
