A Samskara is that which purifies. All that is required for a man to reach his highest evolution. It is a continuous process, birth to death. Samskara is also defined as a perfecting, polishing, and purification process. Samskara, then, is the ongoing work of chipping away at our negative patterns to illuminate the purity of the soul.
Abhyasa (practice) helps make our new Samskara more powerful than the old; the more we reinforce the new groove, the stronger it becomes. Understanding what can trigger a relapse and rededicating ourselves to our practice keep us from backsliding.
Marriage becomes a Samskara when it becomes internal. Marriage becomes purifying when the husband and wife see the divine in each other, when they serve and help each other selflessly. Whatever they do together becomes purifying when they both do it in awareness, when they both have understood the purpose of marriage and life.

This webinar will answer questions you have about the insurance you offer employees. It covers all things ACA and benefits administration, including COBRA, ERISSA, and HIPAA. Don't miss the latest ACA updates in 2016 to find out how they will affect you and your company.
I see no deeds in the world that endure to the final liberation of men. Actions proceeding from a fool’s desire for results serve only for their restlessness on earth. Even in old age, those corrupted by their greed will not accept sermons on their eternal concerns…I know not how to pass this state of human life.
Reflect carefully on the observations of Rama, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, on the vanity of this world. A cycle of four yugas starts with Satyuga, in which people live by the norms of Dharma. In Satya Yuga contentment is the chariot and Dharma is the driver. In Treta continence is the chariot and might is the driver. In Dwapar penance is the chariot and virtue is the driver. In Kaliyuga fire is the chariot and falsehood is the driver.
The cycle that starts with society’s unflinching adherence to Dharma ends with complete moral degeneration in Kaliyuga, wherein people burn in the fires of lust, anger and greed; relationships are built on narrow self-interest; and the affairs of society are run through falsehood, cunning and deceit.
With every new computer, software, service upgrade there are more and more companies looking at your customers. Sales Analytics can help you protect your installed base.
