Friends Vs Enemies
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
- Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)

JIHAD
The goal of true jihad is to attain a harmony between Islam (submission), iman(faith), and ihsan (righteous living). Under the sway of strong impulse, the man who is devoid of self control wilfully commits deeds that he knows to be fraught with future misery.
My sympathies and condolences go out to all those who have suffered, been injured, and those who have lost their loved ones in this terrible act of hatred and destruction. It is important that we do not allow divisive forces to weaken us ( as global peaceful world). We need to overcome these forces as one strong unified world, a truly global village.

Five points of living
God is formless and Manifests himself in any form.
Belief in: AHAM BRAHMA ASMI (I am Brahma). God is omnipresent / Universal / Ubiquitous. The God you are searching for resides within yourself.
The second is the Prayer/ Pooja/ Salat/Munz (ritual) prayer which must be performed One / two / three / five times a day ( as appropriate and suitable to your health). The purpose of Salat/Pooja/ Prayer is primarily to act as an individual's communication with God. It enables one to stand in front of God, thank/ praise him, and ask for him to show one the "right path". In addition, the daily ritual prayers serve as a constant reminder that we should be grateful for God's blessings. Regular prayer helps cleansing your inner self and diverting the energy level of human being to “higher self”, which is silence, peace, harmony, unity, and respect to fellow human beings….
Zakat / Daan / Charity / Donation / Alms: All human beings, who can afford, should give charity to the needy ones and must perform Zakat, Daan Charity, Donation on time to time. The habit of donation develops honesty, positive attitude, loyalty, dedication towards the God who is the creator of this universe. Zakat, Daan Charity, Donation - is important aspect of the Life of a Human being which provides him inner satisfaction. The virtue of giving away Zakat, Daan (Hinduism term) / Charity lies in the fact that you give away unhesitatingly and without anticipation. One should usually perform the charitable deeds, at least monthly, if not daily. Alms or almsgiving exists in a number of religions. In all religions alms are given as to help / benefit the needy / poors. In Buddhism, alms are given by lay people to monks and nuns to nurture laic virtue, merit and blessings and to ensure monastic continuity.
Fasting: All the religions have articulated clear belief in fasting and should be treated regularly as a part of a life. The rationale behind abstention or fasting, is mainly twofold. Firstly, as a form of meditation or manifestation of yogic power, fasting strengthens the mind, body and soul. It also helps to build up self-control and discipline. Secondly, from the Ayurvedic view-point, fasting within a set of rules, keeps a person healthy and disease-free. Most of the religion regards fasting as a means to achieve and practice self-control. The Buddha advised monks not to eat solids after noon. To this day, people who observe the Eight Precepts (Ashtanayak) on full moon days also observe a fast and do not eat after noon.
The fifth is visiting to spiritual places Temples/ Churches/Mosque/ monastery / Haj. Pilgrimage be performed as per the individual faiths / beliefs.

How to be away from Stress
One can be disciplined, free from stress and be happy, if one can prevail over the turmoil that springs from desire, curiosity and anger.
Desire
Monday, October 13, 2008
Yogic View
Very close to a kid we also desire many such items associated to the materialistic world. In a YOGI view these are also toys and like a kid we keep running after all those desires which our mind perceives.
In true sense our desires are limited to our perception; none can desire what he has not perceived. One need to gather the thoughts, learn to focus, and improve the horizon of perception towards Yogic thoughts.
You will experience your desires converging towards a sensible goal, which is in search of basic questions like who am I , What am I doing? For whom I am worried? Etc…

What Love means
'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'
'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'
'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,'
'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'
'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked atall the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.'
'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.'
'I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.'
'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image)

Intuitive Mind
If anything is ok from your intuitive mind perspective go ahead and do as your rational mind has already acknowledged the intuitive mind. Many a time rational mind tries to overrule intuitive mind and later you realize the adversity you undergo

Think on the following
- Most of the time an "Emotional Hero" is picked up to accomplish a tough job which is hard to be accomplished by a "Political Leader", of course the salute goes to the leader.
- In the end all religion point to the same light. In between the light and us, sometime there are too many rules.
- Most of the things a so called human beings does in his daily routine is very similar to an animal, try out some thing different which an animal does not do. Your soul will sum it up before you go to bed.

Scientific Classification of Indefinable truth
In the beginning the universe was full of water. In water there emerged a huge oval shaped water-bubble. This oval shape is also termed as Brahmanda. Brahmanda consist of mountains, land, and the oceans, Sun, Moon, Stars, and the Seas. On all sides, the egg was surrounded by water, fire, wind, the sky and the various other elements. Inside the egg, Vishnu adopted the form of Brahma and proceeded to create the universe. When the universe is to be destroyed, it is Vishnu again who adopts the form of Shiva and performs the act of destruction. Yugas (Eras) are dived into four phases.
The Hindu texts say the four yugas equal 4,320,000 years, or a mahayuga. 1,000 mahayugas or 4.32 billion years equal one Kalpa. The traditional timescale of the yugas is as follows:
Satya Yuga or Krita Yuga - 1,728,000 years
Treta Yuga - 1,296,000 years
Dvapara Yuga - 864,000 years
Kali Yuga - 432,000 years
When all the four eras have passed one thousand times each, that is merely one day for Brahma. Take out your calculator to do the elementary arithmetic (kidding). So how many human years are equal to one of Brahma’s days? Ten thousand times one thousand. That is, ten million years. During each of Brahma’s days, the sages the gods and the kings are destroyed and recreated fourteen times. Each of these cycles is called a “Manvantara”. But at the end of Brahma’s day, there comes the final destruction. The existence of the world comes to end also termed as doomsday in other scriptures. Brahma sleeps throughout his night, for ten million human years. Thereafter, there is creation of universe once again. It’s brain teasing….I know you will apply your brain / logic and fall in the pit, in which we all are falling from several lives. We are keenly awaiting results from big bang experiment in Geneva....which speaks in details about the various facets and key reasons behind creating life and many such unanswered questions.

Judgement
Impermanence
If you suffer, it is not because things are impermanent. It is because we start believing things are permanent. When a candle breaks, we do not suffer much, when an expensive watch breaks, we also don’t suffer so much. When someone close to your heart leaves, you suffer a lot, because at some corner, you must have positioned him / her as permanent to yourself. The key issue is you can cannot accept the impermanence of your beloved one, and you suffer deeply when she/ he passes away.
With impermanence, every door is open for change. Impermanence is an instrument for our liberation. Lord Krishna says “Braham Satyam Jagat Mithya” (Lord is true and this materialistic world is false)

Melodious voice tame the dangerous animals like elephants, lions, snake etc…all the element themselves delight in music then why not we human beings…

Irony
Thought of the day - 11 September 2008
- Treat any religious place like a workshop, you need to for sure go there, time to time, to fix to worldly automobile for various repairs such as wheel alignments, changing oil, coloring, denting painting etc.....once you are out of Workshop ( Religious place) you will for sure find a change in performance. Mind it never stay in workshop for long.....go and come back.
- The ancient scholars /researchers studied for their own improvement. Modern researchers study to do business.
- Whatever you do, think, analyse and see, if you are not hurting anybody, go ahead and do it...you will not repent and this will be booked in your best actions of life.
Recitation of Mantras
Simply try reciting " Om" with deep breath generated from lower of your tummy / stomach ( Mooladhar) and taking the sound up towards top of head ( Bhramrandh) and release the breath Slowly. The Name of God is Om, says Patanjali. It's is true 'Om', does not mean any kind of Hindu concept or any type of sectarian tradition. "Om / Omkar" is called, the universal substratum or the greatest common factor present in every conceivable thing, anywhere.
It is essential that Mantra meditation is practiced everyday, to fetch the best results. It may be just 15-20 minutes and regularity will help to experience results. It is preferable to set a designated time - in the morning or during dusk / then in the night/ before going to bed. Over time, you will experience the positive effect of the mantra on the subconscious through its unique calming influence in any situation.

Creation of ( Universe)
NARAYANAM NAMSKRITYAM NARAM CHAIVE NAROTTAM
DEVI SARASWATIM VYASAM TATO JAYMUDIRYET
In the first chapter of Visnu Purana ( One of the Eighteen Mahāpurānas of Indian Scripture The Puranas (Sanskrit: पुराण purāna, "of ancient times" In all there are 23,000 verses in Visnu Purana), Sutji asked Saint Parashar rishi, I would like to hear about the formation / creation of this universe and also how the universe will be further created. And the most important question which Sutji asked Saint Parashar, what was the key reason of creation of this universe? Who is responsible for creation of this movable (Change is constant) universe? What is the origin of this universes and where this will lead to? Apart from this evidence of Soul, Ocean, Mountains and origin of eternal God and basis of Generations /branches of eternal of God and how all the above is created. Centuries ago, the above set of small but very complex and compounded questions were asked by Indian saints to there Guru’s. The above set of questions can be termed as simple philosophical questions based out of curiosity and the other view is that all the above questions are part of applied / quantum Physics. I am pleased to know that science / technology is today trying to solve age’s old questions which are theoretically already answered in Indian scriptures. Scientists have made the case for at least the very first elementary life coming to Earth from outer space, probably arriving frozen solid inside a meteor…we need to watch the results of big bang exercise being performed in Geneva.
“Definition of Puranas usually gives prominence to a particular deity and most use an abundance of religious and philosophical concepts”

Critic
Desire
This is easier said then done (practised). But if someone starts practising the above from very beginning, one can attain some level of maturity and be away from involving himself to the core of attachment (Maya) and be really Intelligent (pious) soul.
Atleast developing this habit will give you a high degree of mental and emotional peace, if not Nirvana.

Feelings
Your thoughts cause your feelings. Thoughts that bring about good feelings mean you are on the right track. Thoughts that brings about bad feelings means you are not on the right track. Both the feelings are equally good or bad. If good feelings emits positive energy so bad feelings transmit negative energy.
So focus on being grateful for what you have already...enjoy it!!

Psychological Truth
Dreams begin in the prime of one's life and their fulfilment take up a good part of one's waking life. Yet it happens that very few could claim that " they lived happily even after".
"The value of a man, however should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive".

Is Detaching so easy?
You must have noticed lot many people offering services in order to oblige a group/ society / individual and feel so called satisfaction but actually that is thin layer of proud and by doing it, you are not only attaining negative score but also harming yourself.
Any services after "Realising Truth" may help you in actaully benefiting from the reward of services offered.

Om - Mantra
There are mantras that accomplish many kinds of wondrous deeds simply by correctly chanting them. Other mantras help purify one's consciousness, give spiritual enlightenment, and put one in touch with the Supreme. "OM" is considered to be the sound incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Lord. The Narada-pancaratra states: "When the transcendental sound vibration is practiced by a conditioned soul, the Supreme Lord is present on his tongue." The Atharva-veda and the Mandukya Upanishad both mention the importance of OM. OM is said to be the beginning, middle, and end, and is eternal, beyond all material restrictions. OM represents the wholeness of the universe and the eternal vibratory sound of Lord BRAMHA (the creator of univers) that permeates it. OM is called shabda-brahman, the sound-form of Lord BRAHMA.
Aum is the supreme symbol of God. Aum is the whole. Aum affirms. Aum is the sound which expresses all truth.
The priest begins worship with Aum. Spiritual teachers begin their lessons with Aum; and their disciples open themselves to those lessons with Aum.
Those in whom Aum resides are unified with God.
Taittiriya Upanishad 1:8
How Yoga works as a Therapy
Deep Breathing, Exercise, Relaxation, Diet and Meditation. The exercises or ‘Asanas’ are designed to ease the tensed muscles, tone up internal organs, and improve the flexibility of body’s joints and ligaments.
Deep Breathing : Since most of us use only a fraction of our breathing capacity, it is necessary to use our breathing capacity thru’ nasal techniques to cleanse the lungs of stale air, unlock energy & vitality and eliminate toxins from the body.
Exercise : Proper exercise or Yoga ‘asanas’ not only increase the flexibility and strength of the body, but also keep each and every part of the body in perfect health and harmony. Regular exercise leads to a healthy body & healthy mind, and perfect equilibrium between the two.
Relaxation : Proper relaxation results in release of tension and keeps the mind and body healthy. It is necessary to begin and end each session of Yoga exercises with relaxation, and also relax between postures, in order to allow released energy to flow freely and to expel waste products from the muscles.
Diet : The recommended diet for a person during Yoga is simple wholesome natural vegetarian food, easily digestible. This keeps the body vital and healthy, the mind calm and free from restless thoughts. Processed or tinned food should be avoided.
Meditation : Meditation is a state of consciousness, in which the overactive mind is calm, and all mental energy is focused and turned inwards. This recharges the batteries by relieving stress and replenishing energy.Meditation increases physical stamina and spiritual strength, improves the power of concentration, helps you to think more clearly and positively, hence creating a great sense of inner power.
Keep It Simple And You'll Be Happy
When our life becomes complicated with power and possessions, we move farther and farther away from the simple joys and pleasures of life.... We fail to notice the green grass and the fresh morning flowers. We don't have time even to enjoy with our family, hear birds singing and watch our little and old ones similing. Getting things may give you momentary happiness. But not being able to get them often makes you miserable. We should try to be simple sincere soul.
