A great time pass but quite the spiritual awakening-link between food and vibrational energy

What if I told you your lunch could influence your soul’s frequency? In this guide, we unravel how what’s on your plate affects your vibration, spiritual energy, mood, and even your manifestation game. From sattvic foods to high-frequency swaps, this isn’t just healthy eating—it’s a daily soul ritual. Bonus: A 1-day soul cleanse meal plan included! First published on 27/03/2009 21:40 Second revised edition published on 03/07/2025 14:56 What is vibrational eating? Most of us think of food in three ways: tasty, boring, or fattening. Occasionally, we toss in the “Is it healthy?” card when we remember. But here’s a wild thought—what if food isn’t just calories or nutrients… but energy ? What if your food could literally raise or lower your inner frequency? Vibrational eating is this idea, this living truth, that everything we consume has a vibrational frequency. Just like music, crystals, and yes—even your mood—food pulses with energy. When you eat something alive, fresh, sattvic (we’...

I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God .

Politics - A profession

Note: This article was originally published on 18 March 2009, 01:10 on this blog and has been thoughtfully revised on 30 January 2026, 12:00 noon to reflect fresh insights and updated context. This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain. I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While ...
