There are eight siddhis mentioned in our ancient scriptures also known as Ashta Siddhi. The Scriptures also include the abilities gained by the seeker after the attainment of the Ashta Siddhis. The seeker needs to be very disciplined and learn to control the mind as it is not so

easy to attain these siddhis. After attaining siddhis, the seeker rises above worldly attachment. Longing for desires of the materialistic world ends. It is said in the scriptures that Mata Sita blessed Lord Hanuman. He can grant anyone with Ashta siddhis and nine Nidhis.

The lines from Hanuman Chalisa that describes the above are as follows:

‘अष्ट सिद्धि नव निधि के दाता, असवर दीन जानकी माता। ‘

Siddhis are spiritual and supernatural powers and abilities attained by deep spiritual Sadhanas, including Yoga and Meditation.

Are we eating right? Because we become what we eat. The food we eat nourishes our body, but there is much more than nourishment. Our Vedic scriptures distinguish food into three categories based on its effect on our body on the physical and mental level. Understanding the food

we intake is necessary to ensure it benefits our body. Food in Sanatan Dharma is not just “any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink or that plants absorb in order to maintain life and growth”.
According to the Vedic scriptures, food is beyond

what is eaten through the mouth and digested by the body. In Sanatan Dharma, food is understood to affect one’s thoughts, emotions, and mind, and food can lead to God-realization. Food is distributed into three categories in Vedic Culture: Sattvic, Rajas, & Tamasic.

grihastha (householder) needs to follow five vital duties known as the Panch Mahayajna to attain their maximum capacity and capabilities as a person. When talking about Panch Mahayajna, the word panch means five, Maha means Main, and Yajna is sacrifice. Yajna is the spine of

Sanatan Dharma and require immense study in different layers of understanding. When broken into sections, the word Panch Mahayajna defines itself. It gets necessary for a householder to perform these five vital duties in their daily life to initiate spiritual evolution and growth

seventh Avatar, who incarnated after Bhagwan Parshurama. In Valmiki Ramayana, Maharishi Valmiki narrates the life of Bhagwan Shri Rama. Ramayana consists of two Sanskrit words, Rama and Ayana, meaning the journey of Bhagwan Shri Rama. The main objective of the seventh
