The Holistic Pine: Volume 2, Issue 5


Book Description

"The Holistic Pine is India's first independent international monthly lifestyle journal " Sanskar News Authenticity, Brevity, and Clarity We experience information overload, the moment we search something online, especially when this search is regarding courses and careers. What guarantee do we have that the information we receive online is genuine or not? How many hours should we dedicate to sift through the data available? How could we identify the authenticity of information? Instead of spending hours and hours of time and energy, The Holistic Pine is making it easier for the reader to get authentic information within a short period of time. This is one of the reasons educational institutions are moving massively towards The Holistic Pine, where you get Authenticity, Brevity, and Clarity. There is still another reason. Most academic journals subscribed by college/school libraries do not create readers out of students. Most students avoid them. However, The Holistic Pine is unique in its appeal. That's where The Holistic Pine becomes different. It has created a bridge between the magazine culture and journal culture, offering in each issue a highly stylized reading material that attracts students and scholars. The Holistic Pine, thus, becomes an academic asset in educational institutions, scholars, UPSC, PSC, and Civil Service or IAS aspirants, and general readers.




Think Like a Monk


Book Description

Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast On Purpose, distills the timeless wisdom he learned as a monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life. When you think like a monk, you’ll understand: -How to overcome negativity -How to stop overthinking -Why comparison kills love -How to use your fear -Why you can’t find happiness by looking for it -How to learn from everyone you meet -Why you are not your thoughts -How to find your purpose -Why kindness is crucial to success -And much more... Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others. Heavily in debt, and with no recognizable skills on his résumé, he moved back home in north London with his parents. Shetty reconnected with old school friends—many working for some of the world’s largest corporations—who were experiencing tremendous stress, pressure, and unhappiness, and they invited Shetty to coach them on well-being, purpose, and mindfulness. Since then, Shetty has become one of the world’s most popular influencers. In 2017, he was named in the Forbes magazine 30-under-30 for being a game-changer in the world of media. In 2018, he had the #1 video on Facebook with over 360 million views. His social media following totals over 38 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos which have amassed more than 8 billion views, and his podcast, On Purpose, is consistently ranked the world’s #1 Health and Wellness podcast. In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Combining ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, Think Like a Monk reveals how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us. He transforms abstract lessons into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve relationships, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can—and should—think like a monk.




One Thinking


Book Description

I AM THAT I AM. I am The LORD Jesus Christ who was born of blood and water through a chosen virgin. I am Jesus who was crucified, died, and risen from the grave. I am alive forever and I have the keys. I have the power to forgive sins. I AM GOD alone and there is none else. Therefore, by my name, I forgive you of all your sins. You are forgiven. I love you, and nothing or anyone will never change the truth that I am love. Know in your heart right now, that I Jesus love you, accept you, and forgive you. Believe and receive my mercy which endureth forever. By my mercy, grace, and goodness you are forgiven. It does not matter what you have done, who you did it to, who you did it with, how dark the deed, or how many times you have done it. All that matters right now is that you believe in me, The LORD God. It is I, the Holy One of Israel who forgives you of all your wrongs, sins, and shortcomings. You will never be able to "work your way into heaven, work your way into eternal life, or work your sins away." You enter into my rest only by my Son, Jesus Christ whom I sent to earth to be the atonement Lamb in your place. My Word and blood shed upon the cross at Calvary, Jerusalem is washing over you right now and cleansing you; making you right with me, thus making peace with me the Father. Know and understand that it is I, the Holy Spirit who will keep you in my grace because I live and dwell in you when you believe in me. Trust in me the LORD God. I am meek and think good thoughts towards you whom I love, accept, and forgive. Come unto me, and I will give your thirsty souls rest. 1 John 2:12.; Daniel 9:9; Luke 7:47-48; Ephesians 4:32; Matthew 6:12-15; 2 Corinthians 2:7; Colossians 2:13 and Colossians 3:13; 2 Chronicles 714; Psalm 130:4; Psalm 86:5; Psalm 32:1; Romans 4:7; Luke 6:37; and Ephesians 1:7.
