Moments so Far ...

Where is shiv ? It is said that the entire universe is materialisation of one shiv sankalp (thought). But what happened to the creator after the world was created on his behest. Did he disappear? Did he hide? Is he dormant? शिव कहाँ हैं? कैसे हैं ? कौन हैं? कहते हैं यह सृस्टि एक शिव संकल्प का परिणाम है. लेकिन फिर वह कहाँ चले गए या फिर यहीं कहीं हैं, छुपे बैठे हैं। It is said that it is in everything but its not everything.  it can be found only via Guru (an enlightened master). You dont have direct access to shiva principle. only grace can bring it forth to you, no effort or manipulation can influence its decision to reveal it can come in  a form which is dear to you शिव तत्त्व के बारे मैं कुछ मान्यताएं हैं , जैसी की  सब उसमें है पर वह सब मैं नहीं हैं  वह सिर्फ गुरु की सानिध्य मैं मिलते हैं।   सिर्फ कृपा से जागृत होते हैं , अकारण , अकरम से  अक्सर तुम्हारे पूजनीय रूप मैं प्रकट भी हो सकते हैं  So what do you do in the meantime...

Yesterday was a grand treat of movies and after a very long time had the patience to sit through 2 of them. Life of Pi Goodbye - When what is close goes there is everything else but no Goodbye. When Anandi went there was no Good bye and when Richard Parker went there was no Good bye.  God - the stories of God are unbelievable, spectacular. God stories are not trivial. The journalist started to believe when he said "I prefer the story with the Tiger and floating island". The same was true about Japanese investigators of shipwrecked company. Hope - Above all , never lose hope. Living with God is edge of seat adventure and if you give up it will be ordinary life.  Communicate - If you have to share a boat with tiger then learn to communicate in a language that is known to tigers around you. End - Its your story now, give it whatever end you want. Surrender - Don't wait for a shipwreck to surrender to the higher master, do it in good times. Why do many go away in ...

Idol is representative of what is attractive to us. We have made Radha-Krishna to be so beautiful, cast in marble, with silken dress, jewellery, with lots of flowers and fruits and food in and around them.  It is simply to arrest the busy mind. To stop it. So that it can close it eyes after witnessing the glamour and see inside. The real beauty within. The godliness within. The beautiful self.  मूर्ति प्रतीक होती है एक विस्वास की। इसलिए उसे प्रतिमा भी बोलतीं हैं। सब धर्मों मैं कुछ न कुछ प्रतीक है। यह सिर्फ हिन्दू धर्म मैं ही नहीं है।  पहले मंदिर भी ऐसे बनाते थे की उनमें सरे आकर्षण बहार होते थे। पहले परिक्रमा लेने से बहार के आकर्षण से थक कर जब तक मंदिर के गर्भ मैं आते थे तब उधर कम अँधेरे मैं कर्पूर के प्रकाश मैं परमात्मा की मूर्ति के दर्शन होते थे। यह प्रतीक है की तुम भी अपने अन्दर के ईस्वर को प्रकाशित करो। उसके पश्चात बहार आकर बैठने की प्रथा थी। बैठ कर ध्यान करते थे आँख बंद करके। तब जेक अन्दर के जो दैवी गुण हैं वो उजागर होते थे।  अब तो फटाफट का काम है...

A lover is rough translation of hindi word प्रेमी। तुम प्रेमी कब बनोगे? अच्छा, प्रेमी कैसे बनते हैं? How do you become love? Do you need a degree? Do you need special coaching? Do need separate schooling? प्रेमी बनने के लिए कोई डिग्री चाहिए क्या? किसी विध्यालय मैं पढाई करनी होगी क्या? None. कुछ भी नहीं चाहिए। तो फिर क्या चाहिए। सिर्फ यह मान लो की तुम प्रेमी हो। प्रेम मानने से शुरू होता है। आस्तिक कौन होता है? वो जो मानता है की परमात्मा हैं, अभी हैं, यहाँ हैं। जब सब मैं हैं तो मुझ मैं भी हैं। जब हमेशा रहें हैं तो अभी भी हैं और हमेशा रहेंगे।   मेरे दुःख दर्द दूर करने मैं सक्षम हैं।  परमात्मा सर्वत्र हैं, सर्वदा हैं, और समर्थ हैं।  नास्तिक यह नहीं मानता और खुद मैं उलझा रहता है। लोगों मैं भाव तत्व या फिर बुद्धि तत्व अधिक होता है। जो भावात्मक होतें हैं उन्हें सत्संग, भजन, अच्छे लगते हैं। वो एक ही नाम को बार बार दोहराने मैं मजा लेते हैं। अक्सर हम देखतें हैं की प्रेम मैं प्रेमी प्रेमिका "मैं तुम्हे प्रेम करता/ती हूँ " जगह जगह , बार बार लिक्तै...

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

When you reject you miss When you accept you blossom Only when you water the field the seeds will blossom into beautiful flowers and huge trees If there are no seeds there will be no tree, no matter how much you water You have all the seeds of virtues within you know that The infinite has already put the seeds in every cell of you Do not reject a child as stupid, dull Parents, Schools and colleges do They lose the challenge to kindle a flower They only get whats already blossomed A teacher may not reject a student Just because he appears to carry a heavy weight of karma he cannot postpone his enlightenment to few more cycles of janma and cleaning A student may not reject the teacher he may not doubt is he really loving and caring as talks or is he just a walking encyclopedia Your capabilities may differ Some may be fair, some brown and some dark in complexion Some may be fluent, some barely talk and some can be dumb Some may listen clearly, some barely and some...

A nation which had given up. A nation which had no hope in the system. A nation which believed in nothing. कुछ नहीं हो सकता , क्यों वक़्त बर्बाद करते हो, सौ रुपये दो और आगे बड़ो,  ज़िन्दगी मैं और भी गम है,  यह सौ रुपये बचा के क्या करना,  फालतू की कीच कीचक क्यूं करना.  Senior citizen narrated their times of less corruption. Youth wondered was there ever a time of less corruption.  The common man sweats and burns his blood everyday of his life.  He wants a little money to buy some bread. He wants a little money to buy some education for his kids.  We created a generation of whales who learnt only to gulp big money.  Huge monsters. You dare not raised your voice against them.  They were your representative. They were your killer too.  Murderers. More than the money they made you hopeless.  More than the society they forced you indoors.  You just bothered about your life.  You just cared to meet both ends meet.  What ...

If you are feeling lighter than before. If the problems seems to getting resolved by themselves. Do you feel, sense there is a hidden scheme thats supportive and clearing the ways for you. It could be a sign that God is working hard to strengthen your soul. But, if you feel heavy. There seems to a weight that you are carrying within, it could be a sign that विस्मृति हो गयी है और वक़्त आ गया है की स्मृति हो आत्मा की. Its a simple game of forgetfulness and remembrance of soul consciousness. Your body consciousness leads to heaviness and soul consciousness leads to lightness. The principles are simple. How to reach out to soul is also simplified? Your purpose of coming here is also well defined. God has not pushed you out of your abode nor does he want to enjoy your pain. He has sent you with a specific mission एक विशेष लक्ष्य  and it has three purposes to fulfill Your soul is an actor. It needs a stage to perform. यह सृष्टि वो रंगमंच है जहाँ तुम्हे अपनी ...

In the morning you meditate and generate power to handle the day. The day will progress and will give you situations. You can be detached in the events. You can be passionately involved too. The choice is yours. If you get involved you lose trust in meditative power. Next day too you meditate but with lesser assertion. Slowly you wane away and drift towards old habits. Every situation can be a reason to learn. Your thoughts shift from logical justifications to applying your sanskaar. When people expect aggression, anger ; Give them love and respect. Anyways, its for the eternal soul that your energies are now directed and focused. Both for yourself as well as for the world. The more you apply the stronger you make them. Assert("I am peaceful soul. I am happiness. I am peaceful. I am pure."). Regular Assertion is a reminder to ourselves as to who we really are. When you lose faith, you describe the assertion as hypnotism. God has to be a personal experienced. Knowing yours...

Is nature creator? How can creation be creator? Can the painting be painter? Can the pot ever become the potter? क्या आत्मा कभी परमात्मा हो सकती है? और अगर हुई भी तो क्यूं सारे दुःख दर्द उसे होते रहते हैं| आप समंदर की लहर हो , क्या आप समंदर हो सकते हैं? दुनिया मैं कितनी महान आत्माएँ आयीं और चली गयीं. सबने अपने अपने नज़रिए से भगवान् का व्याख्यान  किया. You can listen to every illustration of them but can you associate with it. You will feel good in the moment but then you lose it. You cannot lose the meaning untill you have had personal experience with him. You cannot till he himself comes and defines himself. Because he knows himself best. The same way as you know yourself best. Your friends can describe you. They can come close in description of your characteristics but they can never be 100% accurate. You know yourself best. Unless you answer Who Am I?, your spiritual journey will stagnate. The effort will have be yours. You can go to a आश्रम, you can visit ऋषि,...

Some people suffer all their life, either physical or mental problems. Everyone has blocks and they stumble upon them all the time. They hold on to them whereas all they want is release from them. Some people live life to brim, serving and losing themselves in the moment. Some people eat to live and depend on others to nurture and substantiate their livelihood. Some spouses are lucky to perish before their better half. Some simply drag till end of time. There are some who dont need any support until the end and then they simply pass away. There are some who prolong living by medications and survival toolkits. Suffering is pain to watch as well as to experience. But why do some people suffer more than others? Some people are lucky and dont get chance to suffer. Some start suffering the day they are born. Some grow and cultivate reasons for suffering. They carry the cause and hold on to it. Suffering burns life before death actually does the ritual. What kind of life do you want? Can you...

He was travelling in Indian Auto. He was getting late on an appointment. He generally uses the services of BMTC buses (the most cosmopolitan of buses wherein there is no way for a first timer to know where she is coming from or going to by simply looking at it). He got into a wrong one and then another and lost his sense of direction and could not place himself with known coordinates. Thus the decision was made. He chose to go by Auto. Michael Schumacher may have retired from formula 1 racing but he has left a legacy with the Indian auto drivers and especially in Bangalore to consider every nook and corner of the city as their F1 track. On this auspicious day the Gods decided to send a Meru cab coming from opposite direction with a driver somewhere in Koramangala. The driver left his lessons of relative speed in school itself for he chose to take a turn in front of the oncoming rush of this auto. The miscalculation made the auto on three wheels to touch the back of can and sometimes a...
