Emotions

I thought I needed to share this thought as I have been trying to get around it and avoid it for long. This has sort of suppressed my real intention, my passions and driving force for me doing what I am doing. I have always been drawn towards spirituality. I have always been drawn to the sanctum sanctorum of any temple. I have always found that path leaving out of the temple painful and an intense pain in moving away from the gopurams. I have always wanted to become an ascetic - a Sanyasi. I still have this intense feeling and I sort of desire it. Thats where the problem begins. I shall dwell upon this later, but this is where my current life began. This where thoughts fell in place. This recognition of this desire as a desire - Kama. A whole new set of thoughts poured in. As these thoughts took shape my mother land loomed large before me and I was in a place distant and alone. Alone to the onset of thoughts of guilt. Thoughts of shame. Why? Lack of direction. Two very powerful forces....

Ye Mind! Soar higher To highest pinnacle of joy To the abundance in the Infinite Rooted to the Oneness of Truth Where from this wretchedness Where from this meekness of thought You are the Infinite You are the power that created life Soar higher into the realms of Bliss Where thought created Life Where laughter pervades on Joy In the realization of this Truth You are the world You are the people You are the nations You are the Truth Tat Vam Asi - Soar.. Soar higher Dhiyo yonah Prachodayath Om Tat Sat

These thoughts Divine.... Nurture them, see them as beads on a string of Dreams and work to realize this wonderful garland of events in time as experiences. And we find ourselves saying 'I've been here before, as though in a dream - Deja Vu' These experiences are the Divine Thoughts manifesting in the Eternal Existence that You are Tat Vam Asi Om Tat Sat

As told by a student .... There is no difference between life and death On one side we see people who eke death out of their very being with their thoughts that cause so much fear that others would rather die than be around such people. On the other hand we have great visionaries and leaders who though are not anymore but still bring out such inspiration and courage by the Divine acts of Love, that even after 'Death' their being still enlivens so many to live the Life Divine

The vision of paradise in Heaven as opposed to the 'reality' that exists in front of our eyes is not an apparition. That vision of heaven is THE REALITY waiting to be discovered. Etch this vision of heaven on earth out of efforts of Love and Nurturing I wonder at this mind so Divine! Om Tat Sat

Mathematics, Music and Divinity are the three sides of an equilateral triangle

My Father and Mother Thou shall become Oh Lord Shiva! If Parameshwara (Parama-Greatest Ishwara-Lord) is taken as the Father and Parvathi (daughter of the Mountains, Lord Shivas Wife) is taken as the Mother.... My mistakes oh Lord become Your joy As You see Your child faltering trying to crawl, hold onto supports trying to walk and then falling And Lord Your smile is the Joy of the Father seeing Your child learning that which looks effortless to You We are children Oh Lord, Your children posing as You, as adults Pray, make us children again So that all experiences 'good' or 'bad' may become exciting all over again played in front of You Oh Father and Mother in confidence and Love Om Tat Sat

Re-discovering childhood unlocks the barriers that we have 'created' in terms of social & intellectual norms. Mistakes and learning from mistakes is part of childhood; but for an adult it is considered different. An adult mentions these mistakes as ill-luck, or feels depressed about the turn of events. He even finds it difficult to approach someone for help. Seeking, for an adult is mostly looked down upon or even with suspicion instead of an understanding that this process of pondering actually strengthens his resolve, roots him to his understanding and evolves his outlooks and helps him grow. The very lack of self-confidence in seeking help is a barrier to evolution. If we accept that learning is continuous then retaining the child in an adult is imperative to help him/her learn. ----------------x--------------- The process of unlearning continuously is as important as learning continuously

There is no creation! Whatever is to be created is always already there.... hence there is ONLY 'Discovery' Creativity is a keen observation of what IS and applying your individuality to what is already available to be discovered. The sculptor has the image of his creation in his mind. This image is a sequence of events or his interpretations of certain events recreated to tell a story or vision in stone. But his experience is but a recreation of events that already IS. His interpretation ... if dwelt upon with all possible alternatives and logic ... an understanding of what already IS. This interpretation hence is 'Discovered' not created. The Discovery takes place as a thought which on subsequent nurturing 'develops' as an image in the mental space/plane. This vision of the image hence before taking shape in the sculpture becomes something that already IS. The process of sculpture hence becomes the orientation of work to bring alive the vision, the interpretat...

Even the worst person (you may think!) has the Thought and can choose to act on the thought. Divinity IS and is the only thing that IS! Oh Shiva, Great is Your mind Great is your thought Great is Your vision. Oh Lord! All Greatness is Yours alone Let Your thoughts inspire me Let Your vision be mine Let my mind dwell in You Let this pseudo identity merge Oh Lord! Great are You Oh Shiva, Oh Shiva Om Tat Sat The Divine is Universal The Divine thoughts continuously rise likes the waves of the sea in the stillness of the mind Yet we are too busy too preoccupied with our own false expectations and in-correctable memories Yet the Divine Will, The Divine Love showers forth His Omnipresence in acts of kindness The worst of individuals in their craving for sadistic yearnings do unconsciously carry out these unexpected deeds The deeds are the extensions of the Divine continuously showering forth inspirations Hence even the vilest of beings as we see them have their Divine role in carrying out con...

The origination of thought is Divine. This thought is not profit driven. No greed, no desire, not material. It is just a Will; a push from the Divine. To move, to act. He propels this thought. He directs the thought. He makes sure the circumstances are conducive. He hones in on the result. JUST ACT Dont stand in the way. You are the witness. Your free will is to be free. You are free to act and also not to act. To act is Divine. To not act is to hoard. You are the propeller of this thought. You are He Tat Vam Asi - Love I am - Om Tat Sat

Thought - The power, the spirit, the creative energy, the life, the actions and the results are all Divine IF THIS thought is nurtured by Dharma, Love and Bliss Om Tat Sat

This intense emotion Longing yet so attainable Sad yet in Bliss Distant yet so near.. As I fade away into this Stream of thoughts That burst forth in vigor To create a display of ideas A directionless state of being Neither in the material Nor in the spiritual I hang to whatever is left of sanity A presence that redefines lucidity That is clear as daylight Yet that vanishes with a single longing When tried to be defined What more is there to want for When this presence, this energy that bursts forth takes control And dissolves this duality of me and mine Suddenly Love another unknown emotion takes shape inside this being Tearing apart anything that society has defined inside the framework of right and wrong I fail here to continue any further As my words stop short, falters Loses meaning in a blitzkrieg of emotions So real yet so far that doesn't fall in the realms of definition

by TRS Iyengar This article is on one of the practices widely used by Indian Brahmins all over using a Holy Grass named Dharbham or Dharbai. In all functions, auspicious or inauspicious, a performing person needs to wear a ring made of this Dharbham. But many have lost the reason of why it is to be used in the first place . What I learnt from my father is proved to be accurately correct by a Medicine Practitioner. A Doctor named Sadhashiv Rao, once visited my home. When the topic turned to many subjects, I needed to tell him about the Holy Grass named Dharbham. When I told him about the usage and the values, he could not just believe my words. So, he took out a bunch of the Dharbham from me, went straight to the clinic to take an x-ray of his palm, by covering his hand with the Dharbham. To his utter surprise, he found that the grass absorbed about 60% of the radiation! When the so powerful X-ray radiation can be absorbed by the Holy Grass, why can ...
