Few Cents on Life

True Freinds

2011-06-21T16:35:00.002+05:30

A true friend never breeches the trust of his companion or stabs in his back. He is trustworthy and reliable. One should therefore always try to be a true and reliable friend.

- Sama Veda

Strategy

2011-06-21T16:30:00.001+05:30

Strategy in life is as important as you plan and strategies your business. Abrupt thoughts and planning always leads to destruction.

Moderation

2011-06-21T16:27:00.002+05:30

For the one who is moderate in eating, recreation, working, sleeping and waking, this yoga of meditation destroys all sorrows.

- Bhagavad Gita

Grace of God

2011-03-04T21:49:00.003+05:30

We all are born for some purpose. One need to be very positive for all the Godly works. The value of Guru is above God, he is the one who helped you to overcome all the confusions and hurdles in life.

Wisdom is achieved by the help of Guru, not by reading books.

Things are not always as they seem; the first appearance deceives many........

Love and Devotion

2010-05-10T06:32:00.004+05:30

What is the difference between love and devotion?
Love without devotion is not actually love, it's only a mutual benefit model. When you truly love someone, you will naturally be devoted. Love is from mind whereas Devotion is from heart. Mind always looks for self benefits whereas Soul is beyond logic and the mathematical models of calculations. Love has conditions attached to it. Only if your expectations are fulfilled, your love will continue, else it will end. Devotion is not like that. It's unconditional.

Love and Devotion, however, are "not" two different things, but people still tend to see them as being different because one is meant to attain sprituality while the other is expected to fulfill one's daily need. A devotee is never thinking in terms of his own well being.

One who is devoted to his work, will always be higher in success than a person who simply loves.

Be devoted then simply loving.

Power

2010-04-19T06:20:00.005+05:30

There must be some enzyme in our brain, which gets activated when we attain power. The best usage of power is to help the needy. If someone uses his power to disrupt the structure, the system disrupts him faster. It's a fact, "If you want to test a person, give him Power". Implementing power in a positive way becomes constructive, while using power to it's own favor turns to be self centric and harmful for the society and the organization. When you attain power don't get submersed into it, one need to be on the top of it for better results.

As per mythology, the best examples of a power usage are by Lord Rama, Krishna, Shankaracharya, The Popes etc...and on the negative side the Ravana, Kansa, Duryodhana, Kakeyi, Shakuni, Hitler, Musolini, etc....

If you attain Power, use it to build society, use it to build the organization and use it into building your Character. Don't let your mind corrupt. Organizations and society will be benefitted out of your behavior with the positive blend.

Top Reason People Divorce

2010-03-03T17:04:00.000+05:30

India was known as a country with least divorce rate. It’s increasing day by day and multiple reasons and parameters are influencing. Once the bedroom arguments go out in public, based on my counseling experience, couples have very rare chances to settle. Counseling may be of help to a certain extent but the confidence level / willingness of partners should be high. It’s better to plan for mutual settlement rather than going in depression, paying on frequent court room visits and facing unnecessary pains. One should listen to soul.....try to settle down. Never be swayed away by your advisors. Most of the time external advices takes you to a longer path. Keep your EGO aside, this is the key element of all the problems. One should be mature enough to understand that God has given youthis life to live, pray, worship, enjoy.... not to fight on petty issues and keep wasting the precious moments of this birth. TALK WITH OPEN MIND AND HEART YOU WILL GET THE SOLUTION. Never try to harm each other.

The top reasons for divorce:
Poor communication between couple and two families/ friends ( if involved in marriage)
Change in priorities. This can be caused by having kids or due to ones job, career oriented mind set.

Lack of commitment to the married life

Ego
Taking each other for granted
Failed expectations of your spouse/ Family
Sexual issues
Extra marital relations
Influence / involvement of wife’s parents and family
Other reasons that come up frequently, but not as frequently are:
Addictions
Infidelity
Physical, emotional or sexual abuse
Importance to money
Over work

Have you seen God?

2010-02-15T20:11:00.002+05:30

Most of the people will agree to the fact, that very rarely anybody,will come forward and say that he has seen God. But, if you ask anybody about his experience of life most of the people will say that they have experienced some miracles.....(Sit down in silence, relax your mind, try to slow down your thoughts and start rewinding your life's major incidences. Let your logical mind ask question to your heart/soul/Atma and you will get the answer)..and in lay man's language we say such miracles have happened due to the blessings of God. One need to have fine observation to experience and observe such miracles. These miracles happens in everyone' life and it happens on daily basis....to accept such happenings you need to keep your logical mind / ego aside and you beilve on what I am saying......
Some of my colleagues aruge about Sceince & Technology above the Nature / God. I tell them in very simple language, understanding of Nature / God starts from the point where Science & Technology stops thinking. To make you understand...let me give you an example.

Science and Technology is still way behind to understand what is that which is keeping a person alive......yes, I know you will say it's breath or Oxygen. Then let me ask you, when a person dies...why can't anybody ( Science & Technology) design an Oxygen Pump and agian pump the same Oxygen which has come out of the human body and make him alive. ....

Looking forward to receive your comments.

Om Namah Siva

If You Have....

2010-01-12T20:13:00.004+05:30

If You have Charity and Wisdom, there is neither Fear nor Ignorance.
If You have Patience and Humility, there is neither Anger nor Aggravation.
If You have Devotion and Faith, there is neither Temptation nor Worry.
Be Simple you will sleep comfortably and have no enemy.

Perfection

2010-01-09T13:45:00.002+05:30

Be perfectly resigned, perfectly unconcerned, no self interest then alone can you do any honest and true work for the soceity. We can not see any real forces from our naked eyes, we can only see the results: Good or Bad. Just let the God work for you, he will do it for your betterment. You have all that you can do and nothing is happening. You have done all that is humanly possible. Then what else can you do?In sheer helplessness one drop all search. And the day the search stopped, the day you leave seeking for something, it started happening. A new energy arose- out of universe and you will find yourself contended, satisfied, spritually intoxicated and relaxed.

Attaining Moksha

2009-10-27T22:09:00.001+05:30

Whatever is here, that is there. What is there that again is here. He who sees any difference here, goes death to death.
To attain Moksha - Nirvana, one has to detach completely from "All and Everything". We all have some role to play, we deliver all the dialogues, which are assigned to us and act on this wordly stage accordingly. An average human being attach himself / herself to amenities/ develop relationship around him/ her and keep carrying forward all the debts and credits. All such acts drags again and again to this destroyable world.

What is Hope?

2009-06-21T11:03:00.003+05:30

A standard definition of hope is "to feel that something desired may happen". 'Feel' and 'May' are the words that denote uncertainty. These are the two most important links which connects you to that unseen supernatural power and inspire confidence to connect with God. Hope might not hold the promise of security, but paradoxically, it enhances our capacity to live, work and ultimately transform ourselves within an insecure, unstable environment.
Most of us hold on hope against all odds. And hope creates/germinates the linkage of trust with God.

Prayer

2009-03-21T15:22:00.003+05:30

In almost all the religion, we have rituals and governance system to perform Prayer. However there is provision yet for one-on-one communication between you and your faith/believe /Almighty power and so called God. God is not a person hiding somewhere and looking at us to punish us for bad and reward for good. Theory of Karma applies for all Good and Bad that happens to us. Everything comes back to you, this may take sometime but one day it will back and show the existence of deeds you performed knowingly or unknowingly
Prayers helps in form of energising your self with positive energy and taking out all your negative elements of thoughts/ waves. It's not the mathematics of your prayers, how many count/ times you perform, nor the harmonic of our prayers, how eloquent they may be, nor the time of your prayer how lengthy they are, nor the orchestrated music of your prayers, how sweat and loud your voice may be; nor any predefined method of your prayers, how methodical they may be observing. In true sense, a true prayer is that which comes from the heart and communicate effectively with the existence energy level, so called God.
Poetic saint Kabir Said
"Maala Pherat Jug Bhaya, Mita Na Man Ka Pher Kar Ka Manka Chhor De, Man Ka Manka Pher"
Translation
Eons have passed whirling rosary, restless remains the mind Give up the beads of rosary and rotate the beads of mind
Kabir asserts that instead of concentrating on the rosary beads and its count of rotation, one should focus and become aware of the wavering mind. For only by becoming aware shall we become alert and be able to guide ourselves towards poise and serenity. This is the ultimate aim of Prayer /Meditation – to become calm and experience the oneness between our individual self and the cosmic self.

2009-03-10T21:33:00.004+05:30

Happy Holi and Best Wishes

Interface in Life

2009-03-08T14:38:00.001+05:30

Today people live to earn rather than earn to live. We all have forgotten our true goal in life. There is almost no communication between mind and soul about the true reason of our existence. There is least sharing, having lost contact with each other's hearts, we have become isolated . We need to rebuilt the links of communication which is from heart to heart, soul to soul....mind to mind communication and linkage is superficial and never long lasting.

Faith and Belief

2009-02-11T18:25:00.002+05:30

As one not knowing that a golden treasure lies buried beneath his feet may walk over it again and again, yet never find it, so all beings live every moment in the city of Brahmn/ God/ Allah, yet never find him because of the veil of illusion by which he is concealed

Fools dwelling in darkness, but thinking themselves wise and erudite, go around and round, by various tortuous paths, like the blind led by the blind.

Business arrangement

2009-02-06T08:28:00.003+05:30

Any business arrangement that is not profitable to the other fellow will in the end prove unprofitable for you. The bargain that yields mutual satisfaction is the only one that is apt to be repeated.

LIfe is created to be Spiral and Two ends never meet

2009-02-06T08:07:00.002+05:30

Life is created to be Spiral and Two ends never meet, this is the dyanamic philosophy of life through which we can lead a life of partnership and participation, a life of friendliness and harmony, a life of non-voilence and equality.

Moral Man

2009-01-31T22:46:00.002+05:30

Hence a moral man, by living a life of simple truth and earnestness, alone can help to bring peace and order in the world. Let's we all be moral human being and teach the same to the coming generation.

Islam - Wrong Perception

2009-01-31T22:29:00.003+05:30

Islam is wrongly perceived to be religion of violence because of certain misguided elements who, in the name of Islam, try to spread terror. Foundation of Islam is laid on very strong pillars, guidelines, rules, principles which will help anybody who lead his life as per the principles of holy book. In fact all the holy books, message the same content, one need to understand and adhere to the fundamental principles. Fringe elements amongst Muslims have destorted the teachings of Islam to suit their political / commercial aims. No religion either Muslim, Hindusim, Christanity, Buddhism or any other religion, can justify the shedding of innocent blood as a part of religious duty. Learned Islamic scholars should come forward to position their voice and ideas in front of the world so that the coming generation is not mislead.

Water's worth

2009-01-29T19:21:00.002+05:30

A person who is engaged in killing creatures, polluting wells ( water sources) and ponds, tanks, lakes, rivers, and destroying gardens, certainly goes to hell.
- Padmapurana - Bhoomikhanda 96 7-8

Insincerity

2009-01-08T08:18:00.002+05:30

The great enemy of clear thought and language is insincerity. When there is a gap between "one's real and one's declared aims", one turns instinctively to long words and exhausted phrases.

How to Calculate a Year ( Hindu Way of Calculation)

2009-01-02T13:27:00.001+05:30

Measurement of Year
The small unit of time is a nimesha, fifteen nimeshas constitute one kashtha, thirty kashthas make a kala and thirty kalas are one kshana. There are six kshanas in one danda, two dandas in one muhurta and thirty muhurtas in one day. There are thrity days in a month and each month is divided into two pakshas of fifteen days each. Two months constitute a season (ritu) and three ritus constitute an ayana. There are thus six seasons and two ayanas in a year.
The two ayanas are known as uttarayana and dakshinayana. One year for humans is equivalent to one day for the gods. Uttarayana corresponds to day for the gods and dashinayana to night.
Twelve thousand years of the gods are known as a mahayauga. Each mahayuga is divided into four sub-periods of Satya yuga, Treta yuga, Dvapara yuga and Kali yuga.
Two thousand mahayugas are merely one day for Brahma. There are fourteen eras (manvantara) in each of Brahma’s days. Brahma’s nights are just as long and it is during Brahma’s night that the world is destroyed and flooded with water. Each of Brahma’s days is called a Kalpa.
A hundred years for Brahma are equivalent to a single day for Vishnu.

Friends Vs Enemies

2008-12-26T12:48:00.001+05:30

A true friend will always help you overcome during your tough times. A friend is needed in the hard days not during the times, when you don't need anyone. A true friend is an advisor, honest critic, a person who will guide you based on his experience or best knowledge. A friend who is silent, when you really need advice, is of no use. One should leave him, sooner the better.

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

Time

2008-12-26T08:42:00.001+05:30

Try to invest your time in a constructive way, so that you could lead a better life.

JIHAD

2008-11-29T16:32:00.006+05:30

Whatever is happening across the globe on the name of JIHAD is really saddening. This is an act of cowards and in the court of God this will be treated as nothing less then murder of innocent lives. Act of terrorism of this types are harmful to the whole world and are a challenge to humanity.

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.

Formlessness

2008-11-27T20:46:00.002+05:30

Whatever takes form is false. Only the formless endures. When you understand the Truth of this teaching, You will not be born again. For God is infinite, within the body and without, Like a mirror, And the image in a mirror.
As the air is everywhere, Flowing around a pot and filling it, So God is everywhere, Filling all things and Flowing through them forever
------Ashtavakra Gota 1: 18-20

Power of Mind

2008-11-02T13:49:00.001+05:30

All what we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.

Faith

2008-11-02T13:44:00.001+05:30

We turn to God fo help when our foundations are shaking, only to learn that it is God who is shaking them.

Five points of living

2008-10-20T14:21:00.003+05:30

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

2008-10-19T09:47:00.005+05:30

To the best of my knowledge and experience, I would like to share with you the secret of keeping away from stress and strains, which are normally self created.

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

2008-10-19T09:43:00.002+05:30

Whoever quenches the fire of desire through the holy word, spontaneously is his illusion of duality banished. Such is he in whose heart the name dwells, by the master's guidance.

Yogic View

2008-10-13T15:58:00.003+05:30

You must have experienced a kid asking for toys, game boy, toy planes, puppets etc...as he grows his desires moves a level up and demands for an electronic bike, new set of mobile handset, advanced playing system etc....all these desires are limited to his perception, a kid cannot desires what he has not perceived.

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…

God

2008-10-08T12:53:00.003+05:30

God is omnipresent / Universal / Ubiquitous. The God you are searching for, resides within yourself. When you drop your ego you attain the state of your mind which is free from desires. If your consciousness has, Him, at its center, all manifestation and non-manifestation appear as your own self. Only one existence is perceived. Once you start perceiving, the existence, you are close to the nucleus / energy level/ Parama Braham, which is nothing but God for a Christian, Jewish, Juda, Allâh for Muslim, Bhagwan for Hindu etc...

Leader

2008-10-08T12:43:00.005+05:30

You must have read hundreds of definition of a “Leader”. Think on the following and would appreciate your views / comments.

“There are two types of leaders, one who strengthen his position by strengthening his team. The other categories of leaders strengthen themselves by weakening his team.”

What Love means

2008-10-03T23:05:00.002+05:30

'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'

'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

2008-09-28T08:56:00.002+05:30

Albert Einstein said....The Intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

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

Acceptance

2008-09-28T08:41:00.002+05:30

If you reject the local food habits, dislike the customs, avoid understanding the religious sentiments and ignore the people, you might better stay at home and watch TV or go for snow boarding....

Think on the following

2008-09-21T13:06:00.002+05:30

- It is easy to dodge a spear that comes in front of you but hard to avoid multiple arrow shots from behind.

- 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.

Love

2008-09-21T13:03:00.001+05:30

Mahatma Gandhi said.....Immature love says : "I love you because I need you." Mature love says: " I need you because I love you."

Scientific Classification of Indefinable truth

2008-09-20T14:09:00.005+05:30

Science might keep trying to satisfy its unquenchable desire for tangibility but the end point of this attempt will only yield indistinctness. Because the fundamental truth is that the observer in any experiment is an element of it. The greatest quality of maya (material) is that it appears uniform to all. The Vishnu Purana is considered to be the most important of all the eighteen Puranas and is given the name Puranaratna (gem of Puranas). The book starts with detailed stories of creation and introduces the concept of four yugas. The Vishnu Purana has twenty-three thousand shlokas divided into six major sections or amshas.
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.

Worrying / Happiness Elements within Human body

2008-09-20T13:39:00.003+05:30

Nature has created several unique processes with human body; thought process is one of the most unique processes within human physiology and among most of leaving creatures. The uniquely human thought process called worrying / happiness depend upon having brain that can reason, logic, remember, sense and imagine. Imagination is one of the root causes of worrying / happiness. The crucial chain reaction of worrying/ happiness process starts from imaginations. The actual process starts, once your brain starts building scenarios. Once you create a scenario, associated to the same worrying or happiness fluid flows although. To create worry humans brain elongate fear with anticipation and memory expand it in imagination and fuel it with emotion. And most of the psychosomatic diseases are resultant of the process.

Faiths and believe

2008-09-18T22:09:00.006+05:30

All type of faiths, holy books, scriptures, believe, religions, noble thoughts by messenger of God gives a uniform message of hope, faith, and peace – the message is that peace is to be found through trust/ faith in God, loyalty, harmony and justice among all fellow human beings. Every faith insists on forgiveness and self-discipline, and advice believers not to ignore respect of fellow human beings. Treat them in the same way, as you want to be treated.

Judgement

2008-09-17T21:17:00.003+05:30

Do not judge a person by how he speaks / behaves with folks stronger to him, notice while he behaves with people weaker to him.

Impermanence

2008-09-17T19:14:00.003+05:30

The fundamental of this universe is impermanence. Nothing remains the same for two consecutive moments. The Buddha implored us not just to talk about impermanence, but to use it as an instrument to help us penetrate deeply into reality and obtain liberating insight. Without impermanence life is not possible. How can we transform our suffering if things are not impermanent?
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)

Relaxation

2008-09-17T11:33:00.000+05:30

Can we learn the art of relaxation? After a long mental and physical run, visit a place of your choice – (preferably) spiritual, sit down, let your thoughts be free, feel the miracle of nature, the dance of your breath, the rhythm of your heart, the gentle touch of the breeze, flying birds.....the epitome is in being relaxed, being at ease with oneself. Let your mind and soul be calm and feel the value of relaxation. You will feel the thoughts emerging from silence. The nature of human being “higher self” is silence, peace….while that of lower self is restlessness and unlimited ambitions (centred on yourself). Most of the time we all trust our lower self, that is full of ego, rigidity, stingy and non-cooperative attitude. Spiritual growth and true relaxation happens when we negate our lower self. Think through you must have experienced such moments, have felt yourself charged- for sure- yes. That is the moment of relaxed stage, which one should, experience and practice as a cleansing process. Once you start practicing you will notice hidden secrets of life flowing inside you. You will sense a sense of completeness. From the completeness, the completeness is born. If you remove the completeness from completeness and the completeness alone remains.

No hard feelings

2008-09-16T18:32:00.002+05:30

Mahatma Gandhi Said, The Weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attaribute of the Strong. A shoulder for a shoulder and a fist for a fist is beastly conduct, whereas forgiveness for an offence is devine. Forgiveness is the attribute of the brave. I can forgive, but i cananot forget, is only another way of saying I can not forgive. For forgiveness one has to think from soul not from mind and for thinking from soul one has to practice and he can turn to be Yogi, so someone with Forgiveness attitude is for sure is Yogi.

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

All desirable things in life are either illegal, banned, expensive, un-approachable or not existing in this world

Thought of the day - 11 September 2008

2008-09-11T12:12:00.000+05:30

- I consider myself a scholar of many religions. The more I explore, the more curiosity, I spawn.
- 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

2008-09-11T10:37:00.001+05:30

Chanting of mantra is to decontaminate negative elements within your body / mind/ soul. This is an excellent method of refining innerself. A mantra, in its spiritual connotation, is not an ordinary name. Mantra is a specialised combination of vibrations which are embedded into a concentrated form, so that when they are repeated, what happens is not merely the generation of an idea in the mind in the sense of any abstract notion, but a positive vibration, though it may be invisible. Mantra is one of the simplest, yet a very powerful method to achieve meditation and also help generate positive energy. Proper recitation of mantras helps generates positive waves ( flow of current). Mantra is a sound form. It is a Sanskrit word which etymologically means "by the repetition of which the mind becomes free of external experiences". The mantra should be repeated with a certain voice pattren (rhythm) and combined with proper earthing. We should exercise a similar caution in recitation of mantras also; we should sit in padmasan or sukhasan posture, and see to it that this flow is not earthed. We should not sit on the bare floor as all of the efforts during receitaion of mantras will not fetch andy results. If we sat on bare or uncovered floor, we will not derive benefits as the energy generated by mantras will be earthed and lost. Therefore, it is necessary to have an non-conducting material between the aspirant and the earth. Have you ever noticed, no matter whatever religion be it, all the religious places / temples are conically structured at the top ( Hindu Temples, Churches, Mosques, Pagodas etc...) and the sitting material is always non conducting stuff ( be it wooden chairs/ woolen rugs, blankets etc..). The key reason of conical structure at top is - the sound created during paryer either reciting through mantras or general parayer, generates +ive waves in the form of energy particles, should resides within the atomspehere, so you experience +ive wives / waves/energy. If the same is out in sky. it's again of no use, so the conical structure is designed at the top.
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)

2008-09-10T11:28:00.003+05:30

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”

Experience Nature

2008-09-09T18:21:00.002+05:30

Most of our problems have arisen because we have stopped learning from nature. Look around and observe things as if you are seeing themfor the first time. The sun provides light and warmth irrespective of who benefits from it. Clouds, rivers, mountains and forest follow the same example of universal belongigness and love. Trees provide the shade, fruits and flowers with the same unattached benevolence for all. They do not demands favours in return. The earth matures seeds into plants irrespective of who planted the seeds or who will benefit from them. This truely is like a mother's love for her children. A mother loves all her childrenand is forgiving even when some are the cause of hurt.
If one learns to appreciate nature, the world will be a much better palce to live in. Becasue through such appreciation, destructive tendencies will be overcome. Alldifference will vanish away.

Critic

2008-09-04T19:34:00.004+05:30

Be always close to Critic, if possible meet him everyday, as he cleans you without applying any water or soap. You may waste several days, months and even years of your precious life in learning sometime small things,which cost you a lot.

Desire

2008-09-04T19:14:00.002+05:30

Saint Kabir says - Body ( made of Panch Tatva- Five Elements), acquired Maya (Wealth) and all so called relatives and friends everything will vanish ( Finish), but the core desire and aspirations never die. One should try to be away from attachment and unending 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.

Ego ( Abhiman)

2008-09-04T19:07:00.003+05:30

After coming to this world, leave any sort of ego ( Abhiman) and pick up the best things from this world because you never know when you will have to leave this world and you will not get the time to attain real substance for which you have actually come.
From Kabir Script ( Philosophical view)

Karma

2008-09-04T11:58:00.002+05:30

The soul which is free from the defect of karma gets to the highest point of the universe, knows all and perceives all, and obtains the trancedental bliss everlasting.
- Tattvarthasutra 7.11

Inner cleansing

2008-09-03T23:31:00.002+05:30

There is no point of cleaning externally, the key effects comes if you start cleansing your innerself. Sanit Kabir says - A fish is always in water and no matter how many times you wash but still the stink never goes.

Life

2008-09-03T22:03:00.000+05:30

The wise man looks upon life as a mere dew drop which quivers upon the tip of a blade of kusa (grass), to be whisked off or blown away by the breeze at any moment. The life of an unwise, imprudent, and ignorant person is likewise as transient as the said dew drop.
-Acarangasutra 5.5

Kindness

2008-09-03T21:53:00.000+05:30

The best way to practice kindness is to treat everyone we meet as kin. When we are kind, we are treating one another as though we are related, connected and have no expectation in return. To be kind is to realize that every other person is just like us. Everyone wants to do well. If we have the energy of compassion and loving kindness in us, the people around us will be influenced by our way of being and living. This is also one of the key quality of influencing others and self. Many a time we act kind but this never comes in our gesture because we are not being kind from heart. It's superficial. Once you start practicing kindness from core of your heart, it will automatically flow in your gesture. Try you will for sure influence and make your life truely comfortable and relaxed at core of your heart.
An old Indian saying by Great Poet and Saint "Tulsidas" .....Daya ( Kindness) Dhrama ko mool hai. Paap Mool Abhiman.

Worship Ganapti

2008-09-02T21:46:00.000+05:30

May we worship Lord Ganapti, the protector of Noble People, the Best Poet, the Most Honourable, the Greatest Ruler and the Treasure of all Knowledge. O Ganapti! Please listen to us and take your place in our heart.
Rig Veda 2.23.1 ( An invocation to Lord Ganapati)

Feelings

2008-09-01T16:58:00.003+05:30

Every thought has a frequency. Thoughts send out a magnetic energy. We think about what we don't want and attract more of the same.
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

2008-08-31T17:54:00.002+05:30

It is a Psychological Truth that for a person, the pleasure of anticipation is more than the pleasure of realisation of a goal.
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".

Human Bondage

2008-08-31T11:29:00.003+05:30

Bhagavad Gita says every human being is bound by his "own action" except when any action is perfromed for the "sake of sacrifice". Do you perform your duty free from any sort of attachment, for the sake of sacrifice alone...This is easier said then done. If you are really doing so with true of your heart beleive me you are really close to God and the proof of existence of God is the "growing peace within yourself". Don't get mislead by having multiple amenities around you, they are of no use unless you have attained inner peace. Inner peace is directly linked with own action ( Karma). To understand this in more simple language... For example - An Airconditioned Car is of no use unless your mind is Cool...still you sweat

Is Detaching so easy?

2008-08-12T22:01:00.000+05:30

Many a time you must have read fundamental definition of a Yogi. Actually speaking, The karma yogi avoids the (-)ive charged activities also termed as activities with built in selfish desires. The Karma yogi also avoids desire of wanting and sense of attachment. In true aspect he leads a life of selfless acts, in which there is no element of any individual motive. In today's materialistic world it is extremely difficult to find such an individual ( Yogi) end of the day in any such institute where attachment is coming in picture coining such leader by Yogi term should not be fair justice.

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.

Happiness

2008-08-10T15:04:00.000+05:30

Is Happiness the goal of all the life? Is it the ultimate goal ? If yes then why we keep runing place to place,role to role, age on age and ultimately life to life in a roundabout way!

Look this around and you may find this very near. One need to do self relalization ( Atma Chintan) to seek Happiness.

Lying to yourself

2008-08-05T17:07:00.002+05:30

You must have observed at a certain juncture of life span or professional carrier one tends to be mendacious (to himself). That's the most curious stage, it may be good for you, but not so great for an enterprise( if you are working). Unless, if someone is not "So" clear about "What's in for me" will be stated in mendacious stage. Many a time a person is aware of this stage but still continues to be in..

Once you are able to notice the above...enjoy...such moments also called intellectual water churn..

Cheers!

Om - Mantra

2008-08-02T16:22:00.003+05:30

The Vedas are mantric teachings. They consist of various mantric chants or hymns cognized by different Munis or Rishis from the Cosmic Mind. They set forth Dharma or natural law, which is mantra in manifestation."

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

2008-08-02T16:15:00.000+05:30

Yoga practice consists of five key elements:
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

2008-08-02T16:00:00.002+05:30

How many gadgets modern technology has blessed us with! Yet, they only seem to add to the stress and tension of our lives. Many a time you must have seen young men and women walk down parks and green lanes with earphones completely shutting out the world of beauty around them. Keep it Sipmle! That is the mantra which can help you reduce stress and unncessary tension, which some time we create by ourself. Possessions and acquistions may seem marvellous. But after a while , you do not own them, they own you.

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.

Trust

2008-07-29T11:56:00.004+05:30

One of the thought process in life is
" If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life or any act. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.

In Principle above is true...
To be successful blend the above along with logic and right steps. Else many a times confidence without content puts you in trouble.

Trust

One has to work hard in life either in the early years of life or post half.......if you work hard in early years of life, post years of your life is going to be easy....
