Na jaane kyon

Mssing you Maa 

Na jaane kyon, hota hai yeh zindagi ke saath
achanak ye man
kisi ke jaane ke baad, kare phir usiki yaad
chhoti chhoti si baat, na jaane kyon

vo anjaan pal
Dhal gaye kal, aaj vo
rang badal badal, man ko machal machal
rahen, na chal na jaane kyon, vo anjaan pal
tere bina mere nainon me
Toote re haay re sapanon ke mahal
na jaane kyon, hota hai yeh zindagi ke saath ...

vahi hai dagar
vahi hai safar, hai nahin
saath mere magar, ab mera hamsafar
dhoonde nazar na jaane kyon, vahi hai dagar
kahaa gaeen shamen madabhari
vo mere, mere vo din gaye kidhar
na jaane kyon, hota hai yeh zindagi ke saath ...

Dead and Decayed Nation - India

I love my nation and feel blessed to be on this land of Sriaurobindo and Vivekananda . But acts like these shake me , makes me sad on how this can became a nation of living soul  again.

So finally the rape victim of 16th Dec left her body for the heavenly abode. Did she wanted to leave, did she ever thought her end would be the way it happened and will she forgive all of us

Very emotional moment for all of us ( only talking about people with pure soul ) . Even animals don’t act the way we have done . Are women aliens ???

These acts are always result of dead soul .

Few things I can think as cure  : Control on self , divine fear and respect for women . The moment you feel the soul, that divine presence in you , such thought cannot even come in the mind . It’s all inner rather than looking out

I feel I have lost someone from my family . Never wanted to end a year on such note . Sincere pray - may her soul rest in peace ....hope it’s accepted by my divine ( I am ashamed bhagwan )

The Sitar is Silent

It was a shocking news today morning , Pt Ravishankar is no more .  I was fortunate to meet him in a concert in Delhi during the birthday celebration of Pt BirjuMaharaj . He was a divine figure for me as I totally adore classical music . With no formal training and just a blend of breeding from my father who is fascinated and understand Indian classical  music , I too feel emotionally connected with all the Indian classical musicians . Panditji was one of them . Its a great loss to the world as there would not be a second Pt Ravishankar . I always liked his way of playing sitar due to clear notes and vibrant feel. He had what we call in hindi "khanak " in his play . He was in true sense "Bharat Ratan " and felt the highest form in music is spirituality

Life Relived

The past 4 days were like reliving past. We all siblings were together at my home in Delhi . Didi came from Kolkata and my other 2 sisters from Gurgaon and Delhi . Guest room was full of fun till late night. It was completely  emotional and nostalgic moment. It was like reliving my Bokaro days . 

Savitri by SriAurobindo

The epic by Sriaurobindo . Have just heard and listened , even tried reading a couple of times , but not for long. Since the language is too difficult to understand, and also one has to be at a certain spiritual level to even touch it , never got into it . Was trying to find a smaller and more concise way . 

What Sriaurobinodo has written about Savitri :

"The tale of Satyavan and Savitri is recited in the Mahabharata as a story of conjugal love conquering death. But this legend is, as shown by many features of the human tale, one of the many symbolic myths of the Vedic cycle. Satyavan is the soul carrying the divine truth of being within itself but descended into the grip of death and ignorance; Savitri is the Divine Word, daughter of the Sun, goddess of the supreme Truth who comes down and is born to save; Aswapati, the Lord of the Horse, her human father, is the Lord of Tapasya, the concentrated energy of spiritual endeavour that helps us to rise from the mortal to the immortal planes; Dyumatsena, Lord of the Shining Hosts, father of Satyavan, is the Divine Mind here fallen blind, losing its celestial kingdom of vision, and through that loss its kingdom of glory. Still this is not a mere allegory, the characters are not personified qualities, but incarnations or emanations of living and conscious Forces with whom we can enter into concrete touch and they take human bodies in order to help man and show him the way from his mortal state to a divine consciousness and immortal life"

GOD and Motherhood

I love reading swamiji's books and thoughts since due to plain and simple writing , my not so great mind is able to absorb it and helps me improve .

 

Extracts from what Swami Vikakananda said about god and mother 

GOD : Can you see your own eyes? God is like that. He is as close as your own eyes. He is your own, even though you can't see Him.

MOTHERHOOD : The highest of all feminine types in India is mother, higher than wife. Wife and children may desert a man, but his mother never. Mother is the same or loves her child perhaps a little more. Mother represents colourless love that knows no barter, love that never dies. Who can have such love? — only mother, not son, nor daughter, nor wife.

Happy Birthday Biwi

Today is jayanti's Birthday . Always pray for her goodness. As most of the obedient husband do , I too went out alone to get some flowers and cake .

She was fast asleep , but I didn’t wanted to miss the cake , so woke her up in the mid night and then she cut the cake . I too got a small slice and I was satisfied. Her reactions are never extreme , so accepted by wishes and love and obliged me . Thank You Jayanti :)

Message by "The Mother "  ashram

Let this day of your birth be for you an occasion to give yourself a little more, a little better to the Divine. Let your consecration be more total, your devotion more ardent, your aspiration more intense.

 Open yourself to the New Light and walk with a joyful step on the path.

Resolve on this day that it may be thus and the day will not have passed in vain.

Blessings.

Vedanta

The Absolute Reality which is the fundamental cause of the universe and all beings is full (beyond all limitations which can be caused by time, space, and material). It is pure, free indivisible and homogeneous Consciousness. The individual self (jiva) which appears limited by time, space, and material, or name and form, is also full, pure, free, indivisible and homogeneous Consciousness. The individual Consciousness (self) which is full has come from that Absolute Consciousness which is also full. Here comes a discrepancy. How can something full come from something that is also full and still both remain full? This disparity is solved by the illustration of space. Space is recognized as full, free, pure, boundless, unattached, all-pervading, indivisible and homogeneous. When a barrier is erected in space, we say the space is divided and call it "room space, limited space," etc. If there is dust or contamination in the room, we say the space in the room is dusty or impure. We all know that space cannot be divided or become impure. It is always full, free, pure and indivisible. The divisions are assumed due to the barriers we construct in space. Similar is the nature of the Absolute Consciousness which is the Supreme Reality. Nothing can ever come from It. It alone exists. The separate individuality which one feels is due to the limiting adjuncts of body-mind complex which are, in reality, illusory appearances like dream objects or mirage seen in a desert or a rope mistakenly seen as a snake in dim light. When viewed in its real nature as Pure Consciousness alone, divested of its limitations, the individual Self is known to be one and the same Absolute Consciousness.
