Moments so Far ...

पहले खुदा  नहीं था मैं अकेला था अब खुदा है मैं खुश होता खुदा  तो ख़ुशी है ही पर तुम खुश नहीं तुम्हे खुश करने के लिए नाखुदाई कर नहीं सकता खुदा  कब, क्यूं, कहाँ, किसे आए  यह सुना नहीं सकता तुम्हारे डर  को दूर कैसे करूं इस बेखुदी का रुख सीध कैसे करूं य़ा खुदा अब तू ही बता तेरे इस बन्दे से मुंह फेर कैसे करूं तू नहीं था तो दर्द था तू है तो भी दर्द है इस दर्द-ए -दिल की दास्तान कैसे ख़तम करूं  तेरी करीबी तेरे तरीके मुझे सुहाए पर सबको न भाये तुझे इस दुनिया मैं कैसे रखूँ

सिर्फ  प्रयत्न करोगे तो थक जाओगे उदास हो जाओगे फिर गाओगे परेशान परेशान मैं परेशान परेशान परेशान अपनी रुआन्शि सूरत लेकर समाज मैं दुःख का कारण बनोगे सिर्फ प्राथना करोगे तो नास्तिक हो जाओगे ईस्वर से शिकायत करोगे अब तुम मेरी कुछ नहीं सुनते हो कैसे खुदा हो खुद के बन्दे को ही नकारते हो समाज पर बोझ बन जाओगे एक गलत उधारण कहलाओगे यह तो खुदा गवाह था ईस्वर ने इसकी भी न सुनी थोडा प्रयत्न थोड़ी प्राथना दोनों जरूरी हैं शंकराचार्य भी चलते रहे केरल से बनारस तक पूरी से द्वार्का तक बत्तीस उम्र की ज़िन्दगी मैं एक संकल्प लेकर केरल मैं बैठकर उन्हॉने अद्वैत का प्रचार क्यों नहीं किया बुद्ध भी चालीस साल तक गाँव गाँव मैं चले वो समाधी मैं मस्त रह सकते थे लेकिन नहीं महावीर भी चलते रहे जब असीम प्रयत्न से थक जाते हो तब आराम से भगवत शरण मैं जाते हो नहीं तो इस दुनिया मैं भटक जाते हो जीवन को खान पान और पैसा समझ कर धोखे मैं रह जाते हो कभी वक्त मिले तो जीवन की गहरई मैं झाकोँ मैं कौन हूँ यहाँ क्यूं आया हूँ इस भूक को भी जागने दो जब प्यास लगती है तभी मटक...

अन्नदाता सुखी भव !! यह मन्त्र है गुरुदेव का अन्न के हर दाने को लेने से पहले चार बार कहने को तुम्हारी दुआ किसान को मिलती है किसान सुखी और समृद्ध रहता है उसकी फसल मैं प्रेम और रस होता है व्यपारी किसान को सही सही दाम देता है लोभ मैं नहीं होता है अन्न तुम तक आता है घर की महिला उस अन्न को मन से बनाती है अन्नापुर्नेस्वारी कहलाती है वही महिला चंडी का रूप भी ले सकती है जब व्यापारी लोभ मैं किसान को कम दाम और तुम्हे भी नोंचता है तुम उसे लूटने को कोसते हो किसान गरीब होता जाता है आत्म-हत्या की ओर अग्रसर होता है समाज मैं बीमारी और भ्रस्टाचार बड़ता है एक दुसरे के प्रति नफरत, दुराचार बड़ता है अन्नदाता सुखी भव !! से किसान ,व्यापारी और तुम्हारी घर गृहस्थी सुख और सम्पन रहती है समाज मैं प्रेम और भाईचारा बड़ता है ----------------------------------- inspired from evening of satsang in presence of HH  +Sri Sri Ravi Shankar  ji at  +Art of Living  international ashram on kanakapura road in bangalore

प्रेम छुपा नहीं सकते हो वो आंखों से झलक जाता है कदमों मैं दिख जाता है वाणी मैं पुकारता है होठों पे मुस्कराहट बनता  है हर पल तड़पता है खुद को व्यक्त करने को असंभव को संभव करने मैं सदियों से इंसान प्रेम की अभिव्यक्ति मैं कितने जीवन बिता चूका है लेकिन जो अस्तित्व है उसको अभिव्यक्त नहीं कर पाया है खासकर महिलायें जो जियों जान से अपने परिवार की सेवा करती हैं फिर परेशान रहतीं हैं कि कोई उन्हें प्यार नहीं करता न बेटा , न बेटी , न पति , न बहु इस दर्द मैं जीवन गुजार देतीं हैं उस प्यार की अभिव्यति ढूँढती हैं जो संसार मैं इंसान से आधी अधूरी ही हो पाती है ऐसा ही कुछ सत्य का हाल है जो सच है वोह चुप नहीं सकता और उसे जानता है वोह उसका सम्पूर्ण अभिव्यक्त नहीं कर सकता इसलिए कुछ मान के चलो कुछ जान के चलो सबको गले लगाते चलो Truth cannot be hidden neither can it be expressed Same with love It just shows in the glistening eyes of beholder from the spring in his walk in the sweetness of his talk in his ever broadening smiles for no reason there is g...

When you surrender you become empty. God will not ask you to surrender your good health, habits, wealth, relations God is already the epitome of goodness What will he do with your silly little goodness? HE just wants to take your pain Why are you so pained even to give your pain? भगवन तुमसे तुम्हारी ख़ुशी और समृधी नहीं मांगता है वह तुमसे तुम्हारे दुर्गुण, तुम्हारी कमियां, कमजोरियां मांगता है खुद के कस्ट देने मैं भी तुम्हे इतना  कस्ट  क्यूं होता है तुम्हारा सुख लेकर उसे क्या मिलेगा वो तो खुद सुख का स्वरुप है, सागर है वैसे देखा जाये तो सब कुछ उसका ही तो है फिर क्यूं दुःख को पकड़ के बैठे हो ... Surrender is release an opportunity for you to free yourself and come back to your nature which is peace love and happiness then meditation happens जब आप इश्वर  से दर्द बाँट लेते हो तब आप भी अपने स्वरुप मैं आ जाते हो आपका स्वरुप प्रेम,शांति और आनंद है तब समाधी लगती है ----------------------------------------------------------- Inspired by y...

तुझे आता देख नजर थम जाती है पलकें शेर कहते कहते एक गज़ल बन जाती है हर आती जाती सांसें एक कहर बन जाती हैं दिन के उस पहर मैं असीम प्रेम की एक लहर खुल जाती है लड़खड़ाते कदम कांपती बाहें मिलन की तमन्ना लिए तेरी ओर बड़ते बड़ते फिर थम जाती हैं रुक जाती हैं देख तुझे एक खुली हवा इस पिंजड़े से गुजर जाती है तेरी प्रीत लहर बर्फीले दिल को मोम कर जाती है पिघला जाती है मिलन की किरण उठती बुझ जाती है कभी ज्वाला कभी भस्म बना जाती है ख़ुदा की कभी हाँ कभी ना मैं उम्मीद डगमगा जाती है तेरी एक झलक की आस मैं ज़िन्दगी आगे बडती जाती है in fond absence of my beloved gurudev  +Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

become hollow become empty as you lose body you gain space body is limited space is unlimited body binds space unwinds expanding endlessly dropping the hold feeling the release letting go allows energy to manifest enormous, infinite powerful witness the divine merge and dissolve when she comes you just go losing little identities taming energies is my master's pastime when generous at right time we too get a glimpse into his might beyond energies he just smiles

Too much into that world can make you a blue star Too much into this world can make you pole star which one you prefer aim for the pole or go blue A little bit of that world can energize, cleanse coming back into this world can ground, humble not always there neither ever here somewhere in between is the golden star the golden glow the beautiful soul that is ever new ancient too in between the two world is the world of you yours truly your-self

Little feets of great master moving above mother divine humbled namaskar from little disciple fingers edge touch and dance to the heart's flutter stagnant glance fixed on the flight of moving feets, amongst little noises to gain attention if only a side glance if not the smile palms blessing lifting, gaining flight a tear drop sets herself free when he smiles melting ego stored inside growing might making elephants from ants inside a tear drop dries inside when he flies by pinching ego twitching ease humbling tight crushing elephants from ants inside remembering the first time when nature was the only master no living Guru thick belief stuck inside On the roads he came downside through thick of humanity stood in front sight my back bent eyes glanced down fingers reached for the little feets of my great master

Eyes are open nothing to see nothing is seen Ears are open nothing to hear nothing is heard Mind is open nothing to think only to wonder space with in space with out moments of stillness moments of wonder moments of happiness Feets in motion body still wading through floating wings Time stops neither future nor past only rhythmic breadths in and out they also stop pin point focus infinite vision only in meditation when spaced out

Something happens. Something gets transformed. Something gets shaken up. Something looses the hold. Something just falls of. And in the end its absolute stillness absolute bliss absolute happiness Words seem distant Eyes gaze into distance There is nobody inbetween Skin becomes breeze As she take over In the hands of master you are left in wonder with only 10 minutes to reveal the universe how to express gratitude how to say thank you how to say how much more can I take it How to say How much more can you keep giving In your expanding heart I find little corners of happiness I am fortunate I have got more than I deserve I know you have been generous in giving love from sudarshan kriya  to सुदर्शन क्रिया shakti kriya शक्ति क्रिया The giving never stops in the company of true master Around 1000 teachers completed Shakti kriya experience today at  +Art of Living  ashram, bangalore. Thank you Guruji  +Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ...

The cooking gas prices keep going up. The subsidy rules keep getting amended. First there was linking with Ration Card and now linking with aadhar card. In between, it was mandatory to take the gas book. Every time the warning is "act immediately else your subsidy would be endangered". The fear of losing subsidy send tremors down our spine. These days, you need a dedicated resource just to manage your residential gas connection. We have been using the services of HP (Hindustan Petroleum) gas for last 10 years. They introduced automated system to book the gas using IVRS and it worked well so far. Last month it failed. True test of any service happens when it fails. All the spurious elements surface to kill your spirits. Yes, YOU the CUSTOMER. Imagine doing that to your customers. So we booked the gas on 15th January 2013. Immediately got SMS with booking number and agency name  as SLV Enterprises. On 22nd January an SMS came informing about cash memo number and ...

We live in enclave. It is easy to create an isolated world. Become insensitive to issues that bother us and are created because of us. There are some Neighborhood concerns to share: Uneducated neighborhood Disconnected neighborhood Dying and dirty lakes The community around has created a lot of support in terms of housemaids, security staff, car cleaners/drivers and more. There are few local issues to the enclave Pigeon menace Dog menace Ogling eyes  Public smoking/spitting and release Flowers/Leaves plucking speed biking  foul language from early age What can we do so that life has an equal distribution? Here are few ideas  Educate neighborhood -  value of girl child, prevent kid and female abuse (wife beating) Reach out - create common cultural programs (your cultural event can be theirs too) Rejuvenate neighborhood lakes  (poor chunchunghatta lake is a dirty mess) Create awareness on de-addiction (alcohol/cigaret...

If you feel the pinch then this is the time for action. Are you concerned with Bangalore water woes? Do you want to sit on the fence and watch the show? Go around and do talk/gossip shows. Or give a chance to give back life to a river that has managed thirst of Bangaloreans for hundreds of years. Bangalore has lost lakes and river to ever growing population. Cities will continue to grow in height and on all sides. What can you do from the four walls of house and or cubicle? There are few folks who have joined hands. Walked and met around 25 gram panchayat heads. These villages lie on the catchment area of the river Kumudavathi. Today they will be around if you go to KSLTA (tennis stadium) in cubban park, Bangalore between 4-7 PM. These folks are mostly volunteers from  +The Art of Living  fraternity, who have taken the cause in the face and are fighting for you. The project is for you so that your taps do not dry and your city does not have another line ...

If you tell her the truth she will fume go gloom stiffness abound If you tell her the lies she will smile go bright shine around I need to work on my expression managing perception learn and guess the meaning of my words for other It is an art of communication to tell the truth even if hidden in volumes of lies For we have to live together work together grow together spend lifetime caressing bloated minds with gentle touch and light an ultimate test for spiritual mind setting perceptions all around all right A journey is fun when neither is uptight holding back emotions killing life insider with little murders each day and night let expression flow without sarcasm and fight sensitive to little and big minds managing perception a game for lifetime
