What does meditation do to you?

Well, First thing is why are you meditating? Mostly to get peace, harmony, soul searching.
If you are doing it correct, it will have tremendous result in your life. If there are no results, you are not doing the right thing.
There is so much agression all around us that we get angry very easily. The disturbance is already in the mind, a slight trigger results into eruption. First thing that happened to me is awareness of the moments spend in anger.
Next was reduction in number of anger episodes and also the level of anger. One of the important points here is to have saatvik food, it will by far tune your mind as well.
The next level is constant awareness of living in the present, just be and do nothing (not in literal sense). Once the triggers to you stop, you with awareness stop the triggers as well.
After this, everyone likes you and they have smiles on thier faces when they meet you.
The sour relations turn sweet, there is no detachment or scare in the relation.
Thus it has extremely good effect on your life if done correctly, done with right guidance (not books, experience guidance)

Lord Mahavira's Sankalp

Lord Mahavira's sankalp -

Lord Mahavir looked at her and noticed that one of his pre-decided conditions was still missing. So, without accepting food, he kept on going. [His conditions were, 1) The person who would be offering should be a princess, 2) she should be bald headed, 3) she should be in chains, 4) while offering uncooked lentils, her one foot should be inside the house and other one out side the house, 5) and she should be in tears.] So, you might have realized that she met all conditions except tears in her eyes, and therefore, Lord Mahavir went on. Chandana felt very sad and tears started running down her face. She started thinking that how unfortunate she was that even though she had a chance to offer food to the monk, he would not accept it. She, in her crying voice, once again, requested a monk to accept the food. Lord Mahavir turned back and saw tears in her eyes. Mahavir came back to accept the food knowing that all his conditions were met. She put the lentils in Lord Mahavir�s hand and felt satisfied.
Lord Mahavir was looking for pre-conditioned food, and meanwhile, he fasted for five months and twenty-five days.
This is what I call Sankalp. Immensely strong.

Lagaan was a classic -

Lagaan was a classic -
People may call me boring as I was seeing Lagaan last night. Yeah, I know its not the latest movie.
From a movie perspective, everything was good about it. Actors, the plot, sequence. Interest was kept every moment of the movie.
I watch the same movie for many things. So the thing which was fascinating in this movie was about the "Sankalp" of Bhuvan who wants to the village out of the problem. He saw a way where everyone saw danger. That is how "sankalp" should be. It should be so strong that that you don't move a mm back on your sankalp. You are bound not to fail. Even if you fail, the grace will still remain and that itself will be your victory.
