Thoughts

Dear ones,

We can stop the storm but it is more difficult to stop the thoughts coming to our mind. Those who have control over their mind is in the real path of enlightenment.  What our thoughts that will become us. So it is better to monitor our thoughts. When we sit ideal lots of thoughts come, good and bad. Carefully monitor all the thoughts and pick only the right ones. Thoughts are first and the words are second. God cares what you are inside, and not outside.When we are in a very exiting and happy mood all the thoughts coming to our mind will be good. When we are dull and tired the negative thoughts come.

Easy way to monitor the thoughts is to sit for a while and close your eyes. Relax your mind and sit comfortably. Then watch carefully the thoughts coming to your mind. Now you can analyze what is going on your subconscious mind.  Stop thinking too much to find the answers. It is alright if you don't know the answers. At the right time it will come to you. All things happening are predestined. We cant change that. All of us are the characters of a drama scripted by the divine. Be in peace with it.

The best way to avoid the negative thoughts is to think about the divine rules. People around us are acting according to the divine and there is no fault with them , and it is folly to hate them. All of us are frustrated about the things happened in the past. Forget the past. Imagine about  the extreme things that could have happened and make peace with the past thoughts. Every thing is changing. The change is the unchangeable thing in the world. If anybody hurt you in a relationship, don't worry, if you love for them is true, they returns. Be patient and give them a little time to feel your importance in their life. Once they understands the fault they will come. Time is a good healer. Time heals all our wounds. Give time to others to change.

Give a beautiful smile to the entire world. Spread your light . And be like a butterfly that enjoys its life and gives pleasure to others.Life is short. Leave all negative and give wings to your soul to fly beyond the limits.


God bless you

Desires

Dear ones,
Every human life is bounded by the desires. All minds are blocked and chained by the desires.Desires changes according to time and space.Our current desires is different from the desires we had 10 years ago. But they always accompany us the whole life. One get satisfied, then the other arises. Sadness ,anxiety and tension are the byproduct of the desires. One cannot stop it since they come involuntary.When a new desire arises ,we will go behind it until it get satisfied. If a wish is fulfilled, then that is the end of that particular wish. But no escape, the other one comes.It will continue until death.

             Some wishes will follow you after death also.In the next birth the basic instinct of the previous birth dominates.During the purification process of the soul, all wishes will be fulfilled. We can not reach the supreme holding a wish in mind. If you have a wish to become a very rich person, it will be fulfilled. May be in this birth or the coming births. But desires delay our path to supreme. Some desire will take the whole life to fulfill. A person with no desire will reach Brahmam with less effort but  a man with lots of desires  will reach god after passing so many births.

             How can we stop the desires and wish? It is the question that need a complete solution. Stopping a wish forcefully will not remove that from mind. But the fulfillment of wishes removes it. When you are in fasting during the prayer time, your mind wishes to have a chicken burger what will you do? You know it is not the appropriate time to have the non vegetarian food .You will not take it. But the thought remains there all the prayer time and you will get irritated. Go and have it. Then do the pooja. Keeping these kind of thoughts and doing a pooja mechanically is of no use.Accept all you desires and let it go by fulfillment.

             Yogis and sages have control over the desires. They practice yoga. Yoga helps in coordination between mind and the body.Meditation gives you control over your mind.If you practice it, gradually desires will disappear.It will not happen in one day. It will take long time. Then be in love with god. Let your desire be God. Feel him each second. Surrender all your desire to God. He will make it vanish by time. Let your focus only on god and your only desire be the communion with him. He will hold you and free you from all desires.When we surrender everything to god, we feel only things are less important than your attention to the Supreme.

god bless you

Service

Dear ones,
                       Service helps others as well as help us to develop our inner self. When we get a chance to help someone, never miss it. God is giving you an opportunity to prove humanity. We  should feel gratitude to those who gave us a chance to help them instead of expecting gratitude from them. All great Masters showed us the way to return to self by service and sadhana. This is a divine quality that is present in all beings , we have to develop it by practicing it. You do not need a collage degree to serve someone, only a mind with lots of love and kindness is required.

"Thousands of candles can be lighten from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened.Happiness never decreases from being shared"
"If you light a lamp for somebody, it will lighten your path also"
"Set your heart on doing good.Do it over and over again, and you will be filled with joy."-Great Buddha

      God gave us two hands ,one for helping ourselves and another for helping others.The prime purpose of our life is to reach the supreme. We pass through many births to reach the goal. Purification of soul is possible by doing good deeds.  Simply practice to help others, see the beautiful smile on their face, your mind will get the inner peace. Make it as a habit. Daily do at least  one good deed, don't care whether it is big or small, do it! If you can't find anyone one around you, help your mom in kitchen , or make someone happy by talking, telling jokes, singing a song etc.
 
     Service make us powerful.When we sit idle a lot of unwanted things will fill our mind. Idle mind is a devils workshop. Sometimes we feel hopeless, tired and feel negative attitude towards the whole world. Open your eyes , see people around you. You can make their life better. Don't waste any minute. Help. It will make you feel immense internal energy flowing inside the heart. Ask opinion from the people who practice it. They can explain what is the inner feeling when the do a help. Show a supporting hand, and feel another supporting hand behind us. God will be always with you , by making you realize you are protected.

god bless you

Believe him...........

He has another planning for you!

Dear ones,

                  Don't worry if your plans are not working, someone is making a better planning for you.He is an excellent planner. Believe him. He is caring for you than anyone in the whole universe. You may find the worst situations in life, sometimes you wonder how you overcame it  . All is the part of the universal planning.
Life is a drama,we are all the characters in different roles. God is the script writer. He created the hero as well as the villain. A script writer  will not feel a special consideration to hero, and a hatred towards the villain. In the same manner God will not feel any partiality. He created all. We are all his children. He wants to teach us how to move in the way of faith. He will never test you, because he knows you well better than anyone.But we test god all times.That is ridiculous.He enjoys it. Every time poor god has to prove his existence to us.

                   Faith is a strong element ,that circulate between yes and no. But when it stops swinging , that reaches the  goal. An  unchangeable faith has the power to destroy anything that comes against us. It is said that with faith if we tell to move a mountain, it will move.Nothing is impossible if we have faith in it. That is the power of faith. Think of  a small kid is walking through a road of heavy traffic, and his daddy holds his hand, he has no worries and walking happily because he knows he is safe in his fathers hand.In the same way god is holding our hand.then why worry?

                  God has kept precious gift for you, and why we ask him for a very cheap one?Ask him for the most precious thing-the liberation, and union with the supreme.He will give it to the real seeker. The secrets will be opened to only those who goes behind it with enthusiasm. Events comes in life. Accept it and let it go.Don't force anything to happen, let it happen as his will. Be a good actor in his story.

god bless you

Manthra

Dear ones,

A mantra is a sound or series of conjoined sounds that are audible manifestations of inaudible states of energy and consciousness. Manthras are specific sound which repeated several times . Manthras are originated in vedic times.It is believed to make contact with the supreme.  In Sanskrit ,manthra means "protect and seal the mind". The Bible (John 1:1) says: "In the begining was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.  It is interpreted that that first sound is the Ohm."When we chant manthra it create positive vibrations in the surroundings. Manthra may be meaning less . Ohm is the important and the first sound created. It is the sound of the universe.Most of the manthras start or end with the ohm. It is called bija manthra. Bija means seed or first.There is a specific method to sound the manthras.

We can learn manthra in two ways. One method is getting initialization from a learned practitioner. The second method is learn and practice initialization. In the first method learned practitioner injecting manthra into us, it will be in the form of seed within us. We have to water the seed to become a tree and make it fruitful. In the same way we have to chant the manthra , in order to get fruits from it. Manthras are really powerful. Ohm namo narayanaya, Ohm nama sivaya  are some of the basic manthras .Without initialization also we can chant these manthra. 

Chanting manthras are very useful in developing the capabilities of the body and the mind. chanting with correct pronunciation and understanding the meaning , it will add benefits.Chanting helps us to reduce the  sickness, increasing mental strength and to increase the stability of the mind.The result of manthras are scientifically proved. For example , Gayathri manthra is a very powerful manthra devoted to Lord soorya. The chanting helps to increase the concentration and learning abilities. It adds lots of peace to mind. Manthras are repeated certain numbers.It may be 108,1000,10000 etc.

 Chanting of manthra with faith and devotion will lead to the fruits of manthra. Once you familiar with the positive effect of manthra , it will make your mind stable.Now a days lot of schools are teaching the accurate pronunciation of manthra.

Bhajans

Dear ones,

My Guru says bhajans are not just songs but they are the sole music that flows naturally from hearts of the lovers of god, they culminate in spiritual ecstasy  with the communion with the supreme.Bajans originate from heart, not from lips and tongue.Bhajans play a role in spiritual path.There is no difference between the god and his baktha (disciple), both are one. When we sing bhajans it make us forget the whole world and feels the presence of the god in our heart. Bhajans are direct path to feel the god. The story of Meera Bhai remind us the true love to God. She was mad in love. Only the pure heart unite with the god easily.  At the time of bhajans our heart fill with joy.

 God is everywhere.He lives in our heart. When we sing bhajans it will awaken  his presence.It will raise the positive energy of the atmosphere . It is proved that singing bhajans has lot of health benefits.There is no specific form for bajans , its the simple words that shows the love to God.Sometimes this contain certain words repeating with different tunes. When we sing bhajans in a communal singing then it create the positive vibrations that spread in the atmosphere, if you are singing alone then the vibrations will be around you.

Some of the bhajans I like most is included here with the youtube link

Aham Brahmasmi

Dear friends,

  

        Hindu is not a religion. Its a culture followed by the people of India. Hinduism always follows universal acceptance.That is why we became slaves to many foreign countries. No founder is for Hindu culture. The culture is followed from the generations to next. But the fact is that this rich culture never ruined even-though many people tried to destroy it. It is growing. Hindu culture never tried to convert anybody to it, because we accept everybody as it is.

         Lots of Yogis , Maharshi's  and sages enriched our culture by giving Veda, Upanishads ,purana's etc. It is not only meant for a particular time being ,but its for all time. They taught us the valuable lessons of spirituality, ahimsa, peace and patience. The respect to elders and love to all living and non living things is a key factor for this religion. Hindus consider animals as sacred and protect them.Even rivers are sacred and considered as mother. Killing of cow, snake is considered to be a sin. At the Ashram of Sages the animals lived fearlessly, the most fierce animals become pets and friendly.Hinduism believe  what we give to others will reflect from them because we consider all are one.

         Hinduism follows many gods, but all gods are different form of same force called Parabrahma.The sages gave us freedom to practice prayers and rituals according to our will. There is no restriction in our culture to follow what we don't understand .Humanity and peace are the face value of  this culture.

        We believe in reincarnations and life after death. It is believed that a person after death will born again to any suitable place according to past karma. Karma means actions. Karma is divided into good and bad. Every karma has a result.The purification of soul by good karma's is the aim of rebirths. Moksha is the state that the soul unite with the supreme. The aim of the soul is to reach moksha and free from births. Yogis attain moksha by neutralizing Karma's by surrendering all karma's to god. When we surrender all our deeds to the supreme then we will get free from the chain of actions.

        The main attraction of the vendanthas and scriptures is its universal nature.We were here ,  we are here, and we will be here. We were in the waves of the sea and the blows of the wind. Soul has no death.We are nothing but part of the Supreme."Aham brahmasmi" means am god.This is the theme of Hindusim.

thanking you,'

god bless you
