Delta view
To the south of Vietnam lies the Mekong Delta, a biological treasure trove where over 1000 new species of animals have been discovered. But it is the colorful and vibrant floating markets that mainly lure visitors to the area.
The locals make their living on the river, literally. Not only do they live in homes constructed on the river, but they also buy and sell wares on hundreds of big boats. Each boat has a bamboo pole on which the seller hangs a sample of his goods that can be seen by customers from a distance. The boatmen trade in a mind-boggling variety of items from fruits, vegetables, flowers and fish to even company stocks! You will also find ‘fast food’ boats doing a brisk business of selling bowls of noodles.
The biggest floating market in the Mekong Delta is the Phung Hiep Market.

Adhyasa

Used to refer to the ‘mistake’ that we make when we ‘superimpose’ a false appearance upon the reality or mix up the real and the unreal.
Guru, the Self
Physical perception is a perception of contrast; a contrast of light and shadow. All objects of perception are finite bodies, illuminated by light. Where there is only pure light, and nothing illuminated by it, there is no physical perception. The Guru is pure light.
For the physical eye to see, objects need to be illuminated with light, and there also has to be a light within that animates the eye and which is transfigured into the shape of the illuminated object. Thus, what actually is, an eye for the eye, which is also the ear behind the ear, the mind behind the mind, and the value that evaluates everything. This is Self.
The Guru is none other than the Self which resides in the heart of all. Thus, it is nearer than anything else and yet seems to be far, difficult to be approached and hardly known to anyone. We are so excited by what is seen that we even forget to ask who sees. Only one who has awakened from the hypnosis of sensuous life can recall the original and eternal verity of the ever-luminous Self. He will be able to arouse others from their intoxication of ignorance. One who can play this noble role among individual beings is called a guru for the simple reason that he is a Knower of the Guru.
According to Sankara, the Guru is like a burning coal lying buried in the ashes. Buried in the ashes lies a source of energy that can blow up into a conflagration and burn away all the dross of ignorance Sankara further describes the Guru as a peaceful person with such sympathy that he embraces all in his loving compassion for no reason whatsoever. Such a wise and kind guru who goes from place to place like a rain cloud, showering his compassion on all and greening the spiritual vitality of people yearning for wisdom, is compared to the spring season that gently and silently spreads its beneficence around the globe, bringing rejoicements to all those who have the refined sensibility to appreciate higher values.

Why should one use Sodium Lauryl Sulfate free shampoo?
Hair experts across the globe these days, recommend their clients and everyone to make use of Sodium lauryl sulfate free shampoo and conditioner only. It is something that every person must understand and follow. But first, it would be useful to know why should one make use of shampoos that are SLS free.
Why use SLS free shampoo?
The SLS Free Shampoo is manufactured without using in them Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, a harsh surfactant or cleansing agent which works effectively to clean off the oily deposits present on the surface. As SLS gets dissolved in water easily, it is used in different products like degreasers, shampoos, conditioners, floor cleaners and car washes. They also are available easily and are found to be cheap and to lather fabulously. It is for this reason, manufacturers tend to add this chemical to the shampoos, with a desire to increase their sales and revenue. People tend to buy SLS shampoos without having even having the slightest knowledge these products only would cause harm to their hair, by stripping out essential moisture and oil from the hair, thus leaving it dull, frizzy and dry.
Sodium lauryl sulfate free shampoo brands – Evaluating the shampoo
Hair experts do state that differentiating a harsh shampoo from a good sodium lauryl sulfate free shampoo is quite easy. The advertisements that aggressively promote the hair products containing SLS and other chemicals in them make people assume that it is a good shampoo and is fabulous with regards to foam, price, and fragrance. But this is not true. What one must know is that the foam created by such shampoos should be not held as an indicator as to how well it performs. It simply makes no sense about the amount of lather created by the shampoo.
The celebrities unknowingly may promote such harmful shampoos and conditioners, thus making their fans believe that lather created in good amount can cleanse the scalp and the hair effectively. However, the lathering ability is just because of the SLS present in the shampoo. This means, the shampoo not having SLS in it would not provide much lather. But this does not mean that it does not have the cleansing properties. Rather it is much safer and can be used by everyone including children of all ages without any worry. They are also good for the scalp and the hair.
Sodium lauryl sulfate free shampoo for color treated hair – How these have proved to be useful?
People having used shampoos and conditioners that are free from sulfate have found that they do not face any kind of irritation in their eyes. Although it does not lather much, it helps to retain the moisture and essential oils on the hair and scalp and does not allow the region to dry out. Such shampoos when used regularly also reduce the process of color fading, unlike the sulfate based ones. So, if the person has recently colored his/her hair, and is eager to have color to stay for a longer period, then the organic SLS devoid shampoo is the best bet.
Conclusion: Using SLS free conditioners and shampoos is regarded to be a wise choice made towards growing healthy, shiny hair and keeping the scalp safe and moisturized.
