I’m 21 years old and was wondering if there are any mantras, sadhanas, or other spiritual practices that people believe can help with increasing height or physical size.

I know this might sound unusual, but I’ve heard stories about Hanuman Ji being able to increase his size, and I’m curious whether there are any practices connected to this that people have actually tried. And no, I’m definitely not comparing myself to Hanuman Ji 😅 — I’m just using it as an example of what I’ve heard in Hindu traditions.

I’ve also come across this mantra:

“Om Aeem Bhreem Hanumate, Shree Ram Dootaaya Namaha”

Does anyone know what this mantra is traditionally used for, and whether there is any belief or practice associated with it for increasing height or physical growth?

I’d really appreciate comments from anyone who:

Knows of a specific mantra or sadhana for this purpose

Has personally practiced something and experienced results

Has information from Hindu scriptures or traditional sources

Successfully increased their height after the age of 21

I’m not looking to argue about whether it’s scientifically possible. I’m mainly interested in hearing about traditional/spiritual practices and genuine personal experiences.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Is there any sadhna, mantra, or spiritual practice that can help a person know with certainty whether someone is lying to them?

I’m not asking about reading body language or general intuition. I’m specifically curious whether there is any traditional spiritual practice through which one can know for sure if someone is telling the truth or deceiving you.

If anyone has knowledge of such practices from Tantra, Hindu traditions, or other spiritual paths, I’d really appreciate some insight.

I have two questions regarding the Accenture coding assessment:

1. Exam Platform:

   Is the assessment conducted directly through a browser tab, or do we need to download and install any software, similar to the Infosys exam?

2. Code Editor Features:

   In VS Code, when working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, features like autocomplete and Emmet are available. For example, when we type "!" in an HTML file and press Enter, VS Code automatically generates the basic HTML structure.

   Does the code editor provided in the Accenture assessment also support features like autocomplete, Emmet abbreviations, and code suggestions? Or is it a basic code editor without these features?

Hey everyone,

I have an Infosys L1 interview coming up soon (could happen any day now). I somehow managed to clear the OA by solving 2 out of the 4 questions, but to be honest, my Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) situation is pretty dire.

Here is where I currently stand:

* **Strong Areas:** I have thoroughly prepared my **Project, SQL, OOPs, DBMS, Operating Systems, and Computer Networks**. I feel confident answering theoretical and conceptual questions here.

* **The Big Problem (DSA):** I haven’t practiced DSA in a really long time. Even back when I did, I only covered the basics—I never touched advanced topics like Dynamic Programming (DP), Trees, or Graphs. Right now, I feel like I've forgotten even the basic DSA patterns/logic.

I’ve been watching recent Infosys interview experience videos on YouTube, and a lot of people are reporting being asked tough DP, Graph, and Tree problems. Given the short notice, **I realistically do not have the time to learn Trees, Graphs, or DP from scratch**, nor can I do a full overhaul of basic DSA.

For those who have recently cleared the Infosys L1 round or know how their technical interviews usually go:

1. **What are the most frequent/must-know basic topics** I should prioritize to get the highest ROI in a few days?

2. **How heavily do they actually focus on DSA** for L1 compared to CS fundamentals (OOPs, SQL, OS, DBMS) and project deep-dives?

3. **If I get stuck on a tough DSA question during the live interview,** what's the best strategy to handle it without blowing the whole round?

Any suggestions, study strategies, or recent interview experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the normal Infosys campus hiring for Specialist Programmer (L1/L2/L3) and Digital Specialist Engineer.

Suppose I receive an interview call for Specialist Programmer L2(16lpa) or L3(21lpa). If my technical interview isn't good enough for that level, what usually happens?

Do they downgrade the offer to L1 or DSE (similar to how TCS downgrades candidates from Prime/Digital to Ninja)?

Or do they straight up reject the candidate if they don't meet the L2/L3 bar?

I'm looking for experiences from people who have gone through the recent campus hiring process. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I appeared for the TCS placement test on June 28, 2026, through my college. I'm from a Tier 3 college.

The test went exceptionally well, better than I expected:

* Aptitude (Numerical, Verbal, Reasoning) went crazy good.

* Advanced Quant also very good.

* I solved 1 out of the 2 coding questions (the easier one) but couldn't solve the medium-level question.

Our Training & Placement Cell informed us that results will be announced on July 1st, and shortlisted candidates will have interviews in the first week of July.

Here's why I'm worried.

I honestly don't have a strong technical background yet. I know only:

* Very basic Python

* Very basic DSA

* No proper projects

* Haven't even made a resume yet

I feel there's a decent chance I might get shortlisted for the Digital (7 LPA) interview because my assessment went well. However, I've read several Reddit and LinkedIn posts saying that TCS sometimes downgrades Digital candidates to Ninja if their technical interview isn't good enough.

The biggest issue is my college's placement policy:

* If you're placed, you're not allowed to sit for further campus placements.

*So if I get downgraded to Ninja (around 3.3 LPA), I could lose the chance to apply for better companies later.

I have a few questions:

1. Is the downgrade from Digital to Ninja actually happening nowadays?

2. If yes, do they ask for your consent, or is it automatic?

3. If I don't want the Ninja offer, is there any way to reject it without getting into trouble with the college?

4. Has anyone actually faced this situation?

For interview preparation, my current plan is:

* Build 2–3 simple projects (maybe a Cat vs. Dog CNN model, a Power BI dashboard, and one basic ML project) and understand the code thoroughly.

* Learn SQL.

* Revise basic Python.

* Practice basic DSA.

* Revise OOP, DBMS, Operating Systems, and Computer Networks.

Does this sound like the right approach considering I have only a few days?

I'd love to hear from anyone who has gone through the TCS placement process, works at TCS, or has experienced something similar. Any advice about the interview, package downgrading, preparation strategy, or even how to handle this situation with my college's placement policy would be really helpful. If you know someone in TCS or can point me toward a recruiter or HR I could talk to, I'd be grateful.

Thanks a lot for reading!

Hi everyone,

I recently ordered a Rudraksha Mala from Isha Foundation, and it was delivered today. While inspecting it, I noticed that the beads have a somewhat lively color, which made me curious about its authenticity.

I also washed the mala in water, and I noticed that color came off into the water. That raised a doubt in my mind, and now I'm wondering whether this is normal or something I should be concerned about.

I understand that Isha Foundation is a well-known organization, but I'd like to hear from people who have actually purchased and used their Rudraksha Malas.

Has anyone here bought a Rudraksha Mala from Isha Foundation? Did you notice any color coming off when washing it? Is this expected due to any treatment or coating applied to the beads, or could it indicate something else?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences, opinions, and any information you may have regarding the authenticity and quality of Isha's Rudraksha Malas.

Thanks in advance!

I’ve heard different opinions about this and I’m genuinely confused.

Some people say you should have only one guru for your entire life and stay loyal to them no matter what. Others say that different gurus can guide you through different phases of life depending on your situation, spiritual growth, or timing.

So if someone learns from one guru for a while and later starts following another guru more closely, is that considered disrespectful to the previous guru? Or is it a normal part of spiritual growth?

I’d really like to hear different perspectives and experiences on this.

I’ve often heard that for mantra siddhi or getting actual spiritual benefits from a mantra, one should chant 1.25 lakh (125,000) times per syllable/akshara of the mantra.

For example, with a Panchakshari mantra, some people calculate the total japa count based on the number of syllables in the mantra.

My question is about beej mantras in general. For example, take the beej mantra “Kleem” (क्लीं). Since it is considered a single beej syllable, would the required count just be 1.25 lakh total? Or do beej mantras follow different rules/traditions for japa counts and siddhi?

Also, when practicing a beej mantra, is it acceptable to chant only the beej itself (“क्लीं”), or is it generally recommended to chant a fuller mantra such as “ॐ क्लीं कृष्णाय नमः” instead?

I’m asking from a traditional mantra shastra perspective and would appreciate answers from people who have actually practiced or seriously studied this subject.

Hey everyone,

Recently I’ve been experiencing noticeable hair fall, and I’ll be honest — my diet hasn’t been the best lately. I’ve been eating a lot of sweets/sugar, which I suspect might be contributing to it.

I recently started taking generic biotin + folic acid tablets to see if they help with hair growth and reduce hair fall.

My question is: has anyone here tried biotin with folic acid supplements for hair fall? Did it actually work for you, and how long did it take before you noticed any results?

I’d also love to hear what has actually worked for you when it comes to reducing hair fall or improving hair growth.

Would appreciate hearing about any side effects, lifestyle changes, diet improvements, or other things that helped alongside supplements.

Thanks!

I’ve been trying to understand the role of sankalp in mantra sadhana and wanted to hear perspectives from people who have experience with regular jaap, anushthan, tantra, bhakti, etc.

For example, imagine these 2 scenarios:

Scenario 1:

A person does 11 mala jaap daily for 31 days sincerely, with devotion and discipline, but without formally taking any sankalp before starting.

Scenario 2:

The same person again does 11 mala jaap daily for 31 days, same mantra, same count, same devotion — but this time before beginning, they take a proper sankalp with a clear intention and commitment.

So my question is:

Is there an actual spiritual/energetic difference between these two?

Does taking a sankalp make the mantra more powerful or “charged”?

Or is sankalp mainly about mental focus and discipline?

In traditional sadhana, how important is sankalp compared to bhav (devotion), consistency, and pronunciation?

Have any of you personally noticed a difference in results when doing jaap with vs without sankalp?

Would love to hear both scriptural and personal-experience perspectives.

I’m dealing with intense lust and it’s getting hard to control my thoughts and urges. It’s affecting my focus, discipline, and overall peace of mind.

I’m specifically looking for something effective — any Vedic mantra, Shabar mantra, mudra, or spiritual practice that can help bring these urges under control quickly.

If anyone has real experience with something that genuinely helps (not just theory), please share. I’m looking for something practical that I can start using right away.
