BEST SPIRITUAL ITEMS FOR SALE ONLINE
Amid the rising level of income and inner discontentment, the people, especially from the West, have turned to India to sense a touch of spirituality. When it comes to a philosophy concerning life in general, the idea of spirituality takes precedence over religion or the sectarian dogmas concerning religion.
Religion and Spirituality: The Difference
When it comes to a religion, it is mostly related to dogmas, principles and commandments that the follower (of that religion) must follow to maintain its sanctity. The idea of religion is connected with a set of moral instructions given by the Higher power (God). The follower is governed by their commitment to obeying the religious codes of conduct to be respectful toward other things, people and God. The moral instructions are generally there to stop oneself from going off the righteous path. It is believed by religious leaders that disobedience to the laws (Word of God) attracts punishment (correction) either by the community or Higher power (Supreme) after death. Fear of this punishment keeps the follower stuck to the religion.
Spirituality, on the other side, is a broader idea or concept. Spirituality has become a subject of interest for many thinkers, especially those from the West, because it solely hinges on attaining self-realization rather than preaching sectarian dogmas. Being spiritual can be said to be inquisitive about the natural functions of the Universe or curious to view things as they are. One’s spiritual strength determines their tendency to view things as they are. It is the inner path that the person follows in search of their true nature, to discover their real Self. Spirituality means different things to different people. For some, spirituality is the equivalent of spiritual power, for others, it may mean material things that help in sadhana, such as spiritual malas and puja idols, whereas for others, spiritual puja and worship are for the fulfillment of a purpose.
Everyone’s approach in this sphere is different. Some people use meditation products, malas and spiritual mantras and music. For others, it is a private affair and they deepen their sadhana through spiritual therapy, mantra or Rudraksha.
One may say that a set of religious or moral codes is required for those who find it hard to control their senses, thoughts or un-controlled behavior or who are susceptible to the tendency to go off the righteous or religious path. Spirituality may be said to be there for the inquisitive person who tends to see through all the religious philosophies a bigger picture. Liberty is central to spirituality. One who is liberal in terms of thoughts and behavior finds it easier to cultivate and practice spirituality.

HOW TO BECOME SPIRITUAL?
When it comes to spirituality, there are different ways to attain it. There are no fixed ways as religious instructions in case of religion to attain the goal. Freedom in the execution of a spiritual practice is as much important as the spirituality itself.
Observation: One can attain it through observation in order to situate oneself in a more blissful state of mind. It is given in the Bhagavata Purana (11.17.20)
आत्मनो गुरुर आत्मईवा पुरुषस्य विशेषतः
यत् प्रत्यक्षण अनुमान अभ्याम श्रेयो साव अनुविंदते
ātmano gurur ātmaiva puruṣasya viśeṣataḥ
yat pratyakṣānumānābhyāṁ śreyo ’sāv anuvindate
“An intelligent person, proficient in perceiving the world around him and in applying sound logic, can achieve the real benefit through his own intelligence. Thus sometimes one acts as one’s own instructing spiritual master.”
The above verse encourages the person to observe things around them as they are and should raise themselves above the tendency to think about material objects of insignificant values because spirituality soars higher than religion. The first line of the verse, ātmano gurur ātmaiva, is very important. It says the person himself (ātmano) can act as his own instructor (guru). It means being spiritual is above obedience to the set of religious instructions that are there for those who are unable to see things as they are. Therefore, to be spiritual, one must observe people, things and nature around them. One must cultivate a philosophy or a vision of seeing things as they are.
Meditation
This is one of the most esoteric yet popular ways of developing a spiritual sense. There are many types of mediation. Meditation aims at calming down the fickle mind. It is one of the best ways to still your mind and increase spirituality. The strains and stress of modern life are reason enough for anyone to feel a need to be spiritual. The busier you get, and the less time you have to spare, the more you need to practice stilling your mind. This is because the pressures you are facing and the responsibilities you carry out bring fresh challenges in your life. And meditation will not only release you from tension and strain, but it will also refresh your mind and improve your ability to face whatever life throws at you. There are various types of mediation that you can choose from. Following are some of the known methods.
Sound Meditation
It is a mantra-based meditation where the sound of the mantra helps you go into deeper stages of awareness by releasing you from the clutches of your brain. There are several mantras offered by Vedic texts, and the most popular is the OM mantra. By reciting the OM mantra, one can focus on the sound of OM and feel the mind sliding into a complete state of calmness.
Zen Mediation
A gift from Buddhism, it is based on philosophy rather than religion. The practitioner gains awareness through observing the breath and the mind and communicating with the teacher. Zen meditation stresses the achievement of enlightenment and the individual expression of spiritual vision in Buddhist teachings. The Zen sutras (scriptures) are taught through communication with proficient teacher.
Transcendental Meditation (TM)
This technique uses a mantra or Sanskrit words to help focus instead just following the breath. The guru (teacher) gives the mantra to the students depending on their age, gender and mental makeup. This meditation was founded, practised and given by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Reflective Meditation
This analytical meditation is focused on logical thinking to meditate on an object, a question, a wish or anything that impacts you emotionally. While doing this meditation, the practitioner can ask: Who am I? What is the actual purpose of my life? Why am I suffering from this? Why can I not do this? What is my role in this universe? One needs to sit in a relaxed pose and effortlessly reflect on the object or the above questions. At first, your mind may not be able to focus because of its flitting nature, but gradually it becomes used to this technique. The meditator easily finds cues to solve the problems. Studies show that self-reflection practiced in an undisturbed place can help minimise angst, stress and depression, while enhancing optimism, creativity, and liveliness.
Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction
Started by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979, this technique uses breath awareness and body scan. Breath awareness is as simple as it sounds. You focus your attention on the inhalation and exhalation. Body scan is a process of focused attention on the physical body, starting at the toes and working your way up with heightened awareness with the potential for release or relaxation of tension. The practitioner may be seated, laying down, or walking depending on the focus of practice. This is a popular technique taught worldwide to health care professionals to create a partnership between the patient and the medical team.
Kundalini Yoga
The Kundalini Yoga tradition prescribes specific and practical tools that carefully support the mind and guide the body through the use of breath, mantra, mudra (hand positions), and focus geared towards the awakening of the Kundalini. The range and variety of meditation techniques in the Kundalini Yoga tradition is very large and includes haṭha yoga techniques (such as bandha, pranayama, asana), Patanjali’s Kriya yoga (consisting of self-discipline, self-study, and devotion to God), tantric visualisation and techniques of laya yoga.

Durga Devi, an empowered goddess boldly declares Her energies and powers as described in the Devi Sukta. She says: “I make the man I love exceeding mighty, make him nourished, a sage, and one who knows Brahman. I bend the bow for Rudra [Shiva], that his arrow may strike, and slay the hater of devotion.” Here ‘the man’ means a human being, neutral gender because She appreciates anyone who is ‘sthira’ (sane) and gentle. She says she makes the person, who she loves, mightier and feeds him, as well as preserves his devotional strengths. Also, she appreciates the one who knows Brahman. ‘Brahman’ means the transcendence of the Lord and His divine nature. A person who has developed gentle qualities and love for all fellow beings is the highest of all that is her opinion. One may ask that it is impossible to be gentle always, especially when there are cheaters around. To answer this, Bhagavad Gita mentions that a person of a sane mind is always under divine protection. Even if there are trying circumstances, the sane mind is not disturbed. This divine protection is Durga Herself.

-
Gauri Shankar which is the Unison of Male (Yang) SHiva and female (Ying). Shakti, is the most powerful Rudraksha for spiritual wholeness.
According to ancient philosophy, the entire universe is a manifestation of pure consciousness. In manifesting the universe, this pure consciousness seems to become divided into two poles or aspects, neither of which can exist without the other. One aspect retains a static quality and remains identified with unmanifest consciousness. - In Tantra, this quality is called Shiva, and is conceptualized as masculine the other part of this polarity is a dynamic, energetic, or creative aspect that is called Shakti, the great mother of the universe, for it is from her that all is born.
- It is in the heart centre that the union of the female and male (Yin/Yang) energies occurs. In other words, when the two opposite and complementary energies within each one of us occur, then Cosmic Consciousness awakens in the ego of a seeker, the bud becomes a rose and unfolds the quality of unconditional love in his/her mystical heart.
Mantra: Om Shree Gaurishankaraya Namah
After wearing it, chant this mantra for positive energy.

- It further states the demonic son of Rambha named Mahishasura once created havoc on Bhuloka (earth) and defeated all the gods of heaven, endangering their existence.

Birth of Das Mahavidyas
Once when an incensed Shiva threatened to walk out on Parvati. After no amount of coaxing or cajoling by Maa Parvati helped. Maa Parvati multiplied herself into ten different forms for each of the ten directions. Thus however hard Shiva might try to escape from his beloved Parvati, he would find her standing as a guardian, guarding all escape routes.
Each of the Devi's manifested forms made Shiva realize essential truths, made him aware of the eternal nature of their mutual love and most significantly established for always in the cannons of Indian thought the Goddess's superiority over her male counterpart. Not that Shiva in any way felt belittled by this awareness, only spiritually awakened.
This is true as much for this Great Lord as for us ordinary mortals. Befittingly thus they are referred to as the Great Goddess's of Wisdom, known in Sanskrit as the Mahavidyas. Indeed in the process of spiritual learning, the Goddess is the muse who guides and inspires us. She is the high priestess who unfolds the inner truths.
