Question Of The Week
Q - Why should we visit temples?
A - Temples are traditionally seen as sacred spaces where the divine presence is concentrated. The vigrahas (idols) have been given great power due to various mantras and esoteric rituals. This creates a spiritually charged atmosphere conducive to meditation, prayer, and reflection. It provides a physical space to focus your mind and seek guidance.
Do send us your questions via the comment section or through live interaction with Vanamali Mataji on Instagram.
The Hindu Way of Life
"Archanam" is the fifth form of Navadha Bhakti. It refers to the practice of worshiping the divine, typically through rituals and offerings. This can involve a variety of activities, such as making offerings of flowers, food, or incense, reciting prayers, and performing specific rituals designed to honor and connect with the divine. Whether practiced in a temple or at home, "Archanam" is about expressing one's devotion and creating a spiritual connection and reverence.
Reflection of the Week
Starting from where you are and using what you have helps ground you in the present moment and makes the best of your current circumstances. By focusing on the actions and letting go of expectations for results, you shift your attention from the outcome to the process. This is the best form of Karma, Nishkama Karma.
Astrology Tip of the Week
Chanting any of the Shri Krishna mantras or observing fast on Shri Krishna Janmastami can help to remove any malefic effects on Chandrama or Moon in your horoscope. This will help you with a peaceful and calm mind in addition to abundance of food, resources and prosperity.

Ayurvedic health tip of the week
Lymphatic System
How is your lymphatic system doing these days? Do you feel puffy, inflamed, sore, or stagnation? Do you have cellulite, lumps, bumps, rashes and irritability? If so, you may be experiencing lymph stagnation for which deep breathing and moving your body are critical! Begin a process of dry brushing before your bath every day, do a self-massage on your face, neck, armpits, arms, legs, abdomen and major joints, start rebounding or jumping on a trampoline if you have access, and drink a cup of Calendula flower tea before bedtime as Calendula is a gentle lymphagogue (helps to move lymph).
