Ode & value of the camisole
Posted by: nirmalamagazine on: November 6, 2009
The camisole is one of the hottest item of all times in the girls closeth. Becoming also the most loved of all men, we now disclose why nobody wants to stepout of the door in the morning without this piece of underware on. Why? Did you ever think about it? Camisoles and singlets unique effects on your persona:
-
protection of your inner energy against pollution and other infective disliking substabces from outside.
-
protection of chest and heart areas: it gives a sense of security because these organs will be exempted from cold, cough, infection and all these Autumn stuff (Autumn is NOW in many countries of the world!); lungs do breath somehow smoother when enveloped into skin under a fresh cotton layer.
-
care of the stomach area: digestive system works much faster when coated under a warmer layer of cotton; moreover the singlet will act as a barrier against unespected and not welcomed little fellows invisible to the eyes.
-
kidneys are also located here but in the back. Why not give them a peaceful environment to work out better all the nonsenses the body have to expell. Thank you for reading. Time to go get some nice singlets now~

From zero to 105 years all year round!
Musing on giving
Posted by: nirmalamagazine on: October 22, 2009
Giving is becoming pretty popular this year. People seem not to bother about the crisis as announced by the media, they want to give. Giving can take a materialistic or a less material form, depending on whom, the channel and what. Sometimes we think about how the others would like what we are giving. Or we just give because we know there is a need to receive what we are pouring or handing out. Invisible gifts, physical smiles, other kinds of treasures… we are able to deliver different things and subtle gifts to different persons or causes. An open heart can give easily valuable presents to be enjoyed. Our life we can also give, we should not be too attached to our life, choices, decisions, they take their own shape in sweet always acceptable ways. We can always enjoy thru their developments and unfolding routes. Somebody else can even decide for us, we dont mind because we focus on the goodness we will find nextly. Giving is a honeysome sort of matter. Irresistible and full of golden nutricious elements from inside. There are thousands and more ways of giving like the endless combinations of a sacred lotus flower.

Meaning of Diwali light and not only
Posted by: nirmalamagazine on: October 20, 2009
THE WORD DIWALI IS THE SHORTENED TERM OF DEEPAVALI, WHICH IN TURN IS A COMBINATION OF TWO WORDS , NAMELY “DEEPA” MEANING LAMP AND “VALI” MEANING ROWS. THUS THE WORD DEEPAVALI MEANS ‘ ROWS OF LAMPS’.
THE LAMP ON DIWALI DAY IS SYMBOLIC OF THE HUMAN BODY. EACH PART THAT CONSTITUTES THE LAMP REPRESENTS THE HUMAN BODY AND THE LIGHT THAT EMENATES FROM THE LAMP REPRESENTS THE LIGHTING UP OF THE INNER BEING OF A PERSON.
THE CLAY LAMP FOR EXAMPLE REPRESENTS THE PHYSICAL BODY. THE OIL USED IN THE LAMP SIGNIFY THE VARIOUS SENSE ORGANS. THE WICK DENOTES THE INTELLECT WHILE PHYSICAL LIGHT SEEN BY US ALL REPRESENTS THE SPIRITUAL LIGHT OR ENLIGHTMENT THAT ALL OF US ASPIRE TO ACHIEVE.
JUST AS THE OIL CONTAINED IN THE CLAY LAMP, NOURISHES THE WICK WHICH SHINES FORTH WITH ITS RADIANT FLAME, SIMILARLY THE SENSE OF HEARING, SEEING AND OTHER ORGANS CONTAINED IN THE HUAMN BODY NOURISH THE INTELLECT. THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED BY THE INTERACTION OF THE SENSES THE INTELLECT BECOMES SPIRITUALLY LUMINOUS AND RADIANT. THUS THE PURE OIL, NEW WICK AND THE LAMP SIGNIFY CLEAN AND PURE THOUGHTS WHICH GIVE OF A GREATER BRIGHTNESS AND LUSTRE.
LIGHT SIGNIFYS HAPPINESS, HEALTH, PROSPERITY, PEACE AND GOODNESS. IT ALSO DISPELS DARKNESS WHICH STANDS FOR SUFFERING THROUGH SADNESS, DISEASE, POVERTY, VIOLENCE, EVIL, GLOOM AND DESPAIR. JUST AS THE SUN DESTROYS THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT SO DOES THE LAMP DESTROY THE DARKNESS AROUND IT. THEREFORE THE PHYSICAL LAMP KINDLES THE INNER LIGHT WHICH INSPIRES US TO SHINE FORTH DESTROYING THE DARKNES OF GLOOM AND DESPAIR AS IT SPREADS THE LIGHT OF HAPPINESS AND JOY.

Since nirmala magazine loves always to point out the good vibes we are able to create thru different forms of art, we also love to invite you rediscovering awsome talents out there who give a special attention, in their projects, to the spreading of good vibes. One of them is certainly the American rock singer and musician Matt Malley. He has been recently produced a new wonderful album titled The Gooddess Within. If you want to know more about how the Western world is learning and appreciating the Indian tunes into rock songs just head to his recent interview here on ROCK OM. You will not be disappointed by the originality of the message: Matt rocks out when he’s blissed-off and proves higher states needn’t be all sanctified-sounding. One can be on the edge, pushing the boundaries both cosmically and musically at the same time.
Three ways of blossoming in Ho Chi Minh city
Posted by: nirmalamagazine on: October 5, 2009
Fast moving with fresh energy. Young and colorful, with lots of attractions to unlock. Soft attractions going to the essence of the character of the whole Vietnamese country.
-
Ho Chi Minh is protection of national skills and heritage
With its exhibitions of truly beautiful hand needle embroidery artworks, the central district of the city will offer a magical vision of the women’s skills not only in town but from all over VietNam. Thousands of ladies work every day, sometimes it takes one full year to complete just one picture, to the creation of authentic masterpieces on linen and cotton especially. Their talent is one of the best support of the desire of conservation of national treasures and the spreading of the Vietnamise heritage essence all over.
-
Ho Chi Minh is nourishing amazing food
Tonic healthy noodle soups, soft and crunchy spring rolls, original fruits that can be only found here (like the “gom” in the picture). Lots to find out & taste everytime you go back. Vietnamese food is light and fragrant. Local families serve fruit every day simply peeled and without any adding of cream or other squeezed ingredients. Pomelos, parsimons, avocados are everyday food. Assembling a noodlesoup in Vietnamese style is simple. Making a roll with rice paper is fun and creative!
-
Ho Chi Minh is young and cool.
About the 70% of the whole Vietnamese population is born after 1975. It’s great to be entertained by them in markets, shops, restaurants and other places. They are hard workers and fast learners, open and friendly, it’s a pleasure to chat and laugh with them. They are the heart of the country. Very well mannered and cool, they have already risen nicely some of the most important steps to a much greater evolution. You cant miss Viet Nam if in Asia.
Aluminiumey landscape from Southwest China
Posted by: nirmalamagazine on: September 16, 2009
When you arrive by bus to Tai-O fisherman village in Southwest of China (Lantau Island) you would never expect to see so many stilt houses because an heavenly wetland landscape is immediately receiving you with all its beautiful copious nature of mangrovies and trees. Walking on the stone bridge connecting part of the harbour to the busy restaurant area you are simply surrounded by peace and love, mountains and few houses with a colorful roof. The wetland environment on the left, the river on the right.
There is a history of piracy and illegal activities as background of this peninsula three centuries old. Today many residents still fish producing insufficient incomes. They like to live in typical aluminium stilt houses, quite interesting and not so clean. Many are abandoned and the owners moved already to the city.

In the same way we have this [human] body, the attention of the body and then we have the nucleus which is the brain, and the Spirit which is in the Heart. So the brain is controlled through the Spirit. How? By the fact that around the heart there are seven auras which can be multiplied into any number – seven raised to the power 16 thousand – which are the ones which watch the seven chakras raised to power 16 thousand.

Painting for real
Posted by: nirmalamagazine on: July 22, 2009
How many realistic painters we see in the world today? Not too many considering the high skills required to draw the reality as it is. Infact it is very common to run into abstract, indefinite paintings using great colors and tecniques. Probably there are more than we can imagine and they dont have high frequent access to the internet… Introducing a young talent from Teheran, Iman Maleki was also nourished by masters of realism from Iran. His gallery presents both urban and traditional subjects, people from different ages and settings. Many beautiful women with fresh skin and feminine attitudes. Children caught in beautiful daily moments an musicans secretely planning folk music. Maleki gives an insight truly Iranian and fully humanistic.

Development of Indian dance heritage
Posted by: nirmalamagazine on: July 8, 2009
This artist is well reharsed and graceful having received 16 years training in the traditional way: rigorous, simple environment, well focused on movements and steps every day. In the past years, all the artists born in India, during the Seventies and before, have had this great opportunity to live and learn in their motherland under one or few others gurus. Nowaday with the speedy changes it is a little bit different and many Indian girls study dance for a while and if they love it and want to keep up with the practice, only if they do not travel abroad for studying it is possible for them to go deeper. The new Indian generations born directly abroad have to attend dance training in their countries. Here the dance routine can be not really strict as in past years,but embibed with feelings and creativity of the modernity. However they achieve great result in skills and movements.
