For all Friends Who read my writings

I was told on many occasions that I'm being too long in whatever I wanted to say because I found it necessary to explain. The advice used to be; "getting to the point! We understand what you're saying." I used to get annoyed but these wise old people, my parents were giving me sagacious advice

Dear... if you see all my writings/blogs are lengthy but then too they are well read and responded...as I have a notion that ... updated wisdom and spiritualism cannot be delivered as 2 minute noodles.

There are so many young students who read my blogs.... they are not so matured and experience as some of you.... people love novels .. I can full empathy you have less time then too you come and bless me on my blog.... you see ... I may not blogging here as killing my time.... I am here to give some awareness... I like to focus on one blog for a month by interacting with guests than blogging daily a new blog...please understand me..... my blogs are completely different... and a sincere and serious effort to deliver logical spiritualism and god FREE... People here are not so modern yet ... they are very primitive in their approach... their personal religions disallow them to walk straight collectively with humanism... they are divided by religions...

Valmikhi ji वाल्मीकि जी was a Dacoit/Robber and murderer first. He was a changed person when some Rishi ऋषि asked him to ask his family if they will share his punishments for the sins he do every day. His family said they won’t share his sins... from the day he changed into a good soul...

We have so many lessons to learn from holy literature of all religions, but people want to dig fossils and stick to 'wordy archaeologist' mere. They don’t want to become or adhere to updated practical wisdom which are the need of the hour. 'They are only lakir ke fakir' लकीर के फ़कीर and walk in herd.

What are our pleasure-centers?

What are our pleasure-centers?

We know them very well. The greatest fortress of our pleasure is our own personality-consciousness, our egoism. We have many other pleasure-centres, no doubt; but the greatest among all of them is what we call, in common parlance, Izzat इज्ज़त, dignity of personality, self-respect. This self-respect was unknown to great masters and saints. They respected God and so they were humiliated in the eyes of people, put down as “no-one’s” in the eyes of the world. What torture and what suffering they underwent-it is something terrifying, if you think over it. We have only to read the lives of a few saints of the past. We can read even the life of recent personality. While it is easy to think that we believe in God, it is really difficult to be true to the salt.

Hence, may we take these auspicious occasions as occasions for honest Sadhana साधना of our own conscience and spirit also, and not the Sadhana साधना of the hands, the limbs and the feet alone. We have the Sadhana साधना of the limbs of the body, in the form of ritualistic worship with waving the lights in the temple, opening a scripture and reading it loudly through the vocal organ and paying obeisance physically by Sashtanga Namaskara साष्टांग नमस्कार through the body. All these are beautiful, wonderful and very necessary. But they become null and void, if the conscience is set at naught and is opposed in its spirit to all our outer performances of rituals and religious observances. God is within us, in the deepest root of our being, and to turn to Him would be to turn to ourselves, in our essence, finally.

This should be the spirit of Sadhana साधना and devotion to God and nothing can be more difficult, because it is the death of the individual personality. 'Die to live'. If you want to live in the Eternity, you have to die to the temporal, which means to say that you should die to all that you regard as beautiful, meaningful and valuable in this world. Who can do this! No ordinary man is prepared for this. No ordinary mortal can have the courage, the power and the strength to face the weaknesses of flesh, the foibles of human nature and the impetuosity of the human ego.

Who can face these powerful demons! Who can face Ravana रावण ? No one, not all the gods, not even Indra इन्द्र could face him. And who are we! It is not a joke to face and overcome these great negative forces. They are awful-this is the only word we can use here. They are so terrifying that even a mere thought of them is enough to make one run away. Such is the terror that one has to meet with before one becomes fit for God-realisation. "The fear of the Absolute", said Plotinus, a great saint of the West.

Entering the Absolute is like entering a lion's den, from which you cannot come back. Fierce is the ocean, fierce is the lion, fierce is the conflagration of fire, and fierce is love of God. No one can love God, unless one is prepared to die, wholly and totally, to the so-called good, beautiful and pleasant in this world, to this body and to the ego. Hard is the job! Difficult is the task! God's grace is the only saving factor.

So, may we pray to Him, the Almighty, that He may bless us with this uncanny courage, knowledge and strength, that we may realise Him in all His Glory in this very birth.

The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time.

The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time.

One day, a poor boy called Howard Kelly, who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.

He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.

Instead of a meal he asked for a glass of water!. She looked at him and thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you madam?"

You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."

He was so grateful and said ... "Then I thank you from my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Many years’ later that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.

Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.

Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once.

He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to her case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won.

Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, and then wrote something on the edge, and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words ...

"Paid in full with one glass of milk"

(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, God, that your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands."

There's a saying which goes something like this: Bread cast on the water comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place - And, after all, isn't that what life is all about?

Now you have two choices.

1. You can send this page on and spread a positive message.

2. Or ignore it and pretend it never touched your heart.

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and who to cross with.....

Do you love yourself?

Do you love yourself?

People feel lonely; they need somebody to fill their loneliness. They call it love. They show love because that is the only way to hook the other. The other also calls it love because that is the only way to hook you. But who knows whether there is love or not? Love is just a game Real love is possible, but that happens only when you don't need anybody!

If you go to a bank and you need money, they will not give you any. If you don't need money, you have enough, they will come to you and they will always be ready to give you.

When you don't need a person at all, when you are totally sufficient unto yourself, when you can be alone and tremendously happy and ecstatic, then love is possible. But then too you can be certain about only one thing: whether your love is real. How can you be certain about the other? But then there is no need.

This continuous anxiety -- whether the other's love is real or not -- simply shows one thing: that your love is not real Why be worried about it? Enjoy it while it lasts! Be together while you can be together! It is a fiction, but you need fiction.

Behind declarations of love there is nothing but need. You want your lover to be with you to fill your emptiness and so too is the case with her. You are both trying to use each other as a means. That's why lovers, so-called lovers, are always in conflict -- because nobody wants to be used, because when you use a person the person becomes a thing, you have reduced him to a commodity. One day when you are really awake you will be able to love -- but then you will be certain about your love only. But that's enough! Do you love yourself? You have not even asked the question.

When you are really blissful on your own, you don't want to use anybody. You simply want to share it. And you will feel thankful that somebody was ready to receive. That is the full point. There is no way to be certain about the other -- first be certain about you. And a person who is certain about himself is certain about the whole world. Settled, centered, grounded, in yourself, you never worry about such things. You accept if somebody loves you, you accept it because you love yourself. You are happy with yourself; somebody else is happy -- good! It does not get in your head; it does not make you madly egoistic.

You simply enjoy yourself; somebody else also finds you enjoyable -- good! While it lasts, live the fiction as beautifully as possible -- it will not last forever. When a love is finished, you start thinking it was false -- that's why it has come to an end. No, not necessarily. It may have had some glimmer of truth in it, but you were both unable to keep and hold that truth. You needed love, but you were not capable of it. When you are aware, a totally different kind of love will arise in your heart -- which is absolutely true, which is part of eternity.

7 Differences Between Religion And Spirituality

7 Differences Between Religion And Spirituality

A lot of people mistake Spirituality for Religion or some mysterious, supernatural occurrence. Some even think of it as a sect but this is because of their lack of knowledge and their fear of being manipulated.

If we move past this and try to study and understand what spirituality actually is, we’ll come to a realization that it is nothing mysterious or supernatural nor in any way connected to a sect of any kind.

These 7 differences between Religion and Spirituality will help you understand what Spirituality actually is.

Religion Makes You Bow – Spirituality Sets You Free

Religion tells you to follow an ideology and obey certain rules or you’ll be punished otherwise. Spirituality lets you Follow Your Heart and What You Feel It’s Right. It sets you free to be what you truly are without bowing to anything that doesn’t resonate as right with you nor to anyone because we are all one. It is all up to you to choose what you’ll honor enough to make it divine

Religion Shows You Fear – Spirituality Shows You How to Be Brave

Religion tells you what to fear and tells you consequences. Spirituality makes you aware of the consequences but doesn’t want you to focus on the fear. It shows you How to Stand Despite Being Afraid, how to move on doing what you feel it’s right despite the consequences that may come. It shows you how to act on love and not on fear, it shows you how to control fear and use the best of it.

Religion Tells You The Truth – Spirituality Lets You Discover It

Religion tells you what to believe and what is right. Spirituality lets you discover it by yourself and understand it in your own unique way. It lets you Connect With Your Higher Self and see with your own mind what truth is because the truth as a whole is same for each one of us. It lets you believe in your own truth through your own perception of your heart.

Religion Separates from Other Religions – Spirituality Unites Them

Through our world there are many religions and they all preach that their story is the right story. Spirituality sees the truth in all of them and unites them because the truth is same for all of us despite our differences and uniqueness. It focuses on the quality of the divine message they share and not on the differences in details of the story they speak.

Religion Makes You Dependent – Spirituality Makes You Independent

If you attend religious events only then you are seen as a religious person and someone who is worthy of happiness. Spirituality shows you that you don’t need or depend on anything to be happy. Happiness is always found deep in ourselves and only we are responsible for it. We are always where we need to be and not just while attending at some events or buildings. Divinity is in us and that is why we are always worthy.

Religion Applies Punishment – Spirituality Applies Karma

Religion says that if we don’t obey certain rules there is punishment that awaits us which relies on our belief. Spirituality lets us understand that every action has its reaction and realize that the punishment of our actions will be the reaction coming from the actions we set in motion. It relies solely on the fundamental forces of The Universe and it doesn’t need you to believe in that force to be true.

Religion Makes You Follow Other Journey – Spirituality Lets You Create Your Own

The foundation of one religion is the story it tells about a God or Gods, their journey to enlightenment and the truth they have discovered making you follow their steps. Spirituality lets you Walk Your Own Journey to Enlightenment and discover the truth in your own way following what your heart tells it’s right because the truth is always the same no matter how you get to it.

Every religion came by spirituality, by the journey through which one person became God. The details of the story are not important they just help the character discover the truth. The message that shares the truth is what is important, The Divine Code of The Human Heart that resonates harmoniously through each of us. That is why every religion has something true in it, the truth. – 

कलश पूजा क्यों की जाती है ?

कलश पूजा क्यों की जाती है ?

आम तौर पर हर हिंदू पूजा में एक कलश (जो प्रायः पीतल, ताम्बे या मिट्टी का) होता है जिस में पानी भरा जाता है । इसके मुंह पर आम की पत्तियां रखी जाती है, ऊपर एक नारियल रखा जाता है और फिर इसे लाल या सफ़ेद धागे से चारो और से बाँधा जाता है ।

लोटे में पानी भर कर चावल के कुछ दाने डालने की क्रिया को पूर्ण कुम्भ भी कहते है जो हमारे जीवन को भरा  पूरा  होना दर्शाता है ।

चूँकि पृथ्वी पर पहले केवल पानी था और पानी से ही जीव की उत्पत्ति हुई है । इसलिए कलश का जल सम्पूर्ण पृथ्वी का द्योतक है । जिससे जीवन का आरम्भ हुआ था । नारियल और आम की पत्तियां सृजनात्मकता या जीवन को दर्शाती है ।

धागे से बाँध कर रखने का उद्देश्य विश्व की सम्पूर्ण उत्पत्ति को एक सूत्र में पिरोना दर्शाता है ।

शंख क्यों बजाया जाता है ?

शंख क्यों बजाया जाता है ?

शंख बजाने से ॐ की मूल ध्वनि का उच्चारण होता है । भगवान ने सृष्टि के निर्माण के बाद सबसे पहले ॐ शब्द का ब्रहानाद किया था । भगवान श्री कृष्ण के भी महाभारत में पाञ्चजन्य शंख बजाय था । इसलिए शंख को अच्छाई पर बुरे की विजय का प्रतीक भी माना जाता है । ये मानव जीवन के चार पुरुषार्थ में से एक धर्म का प्रतीक है ।

शंख बजाने का एक कारण ये भी है कि शंख की ध्वनि से जो आवाज़ निकलती है । वो नकारात्मक उर्जा का हनन कर देती है । आस पास का छोटा मोटा शोर जो भक्तो के मन और मस्तिष्क को भटका रहा होता है वो शंख की ध्वनि से दब जाता है और फिर निर्मल मन प्रभु के ध्यान में लग जाता है ।

प्राचीन भारत गाँव में रहता था जहाँ मुख्यत एक बड़ा मन्दिर होता था । आरती के समय शंख की ध्वनि पुरे गाँव में सुनाई दी  जाती थी और लोगो को ये संदेश मिल जाता था कि कुछ समय के लिए अपना काम छोड़ कर प्रभु का ध्यान कर ले ।
