First of all.... a prayer to the people who did the blasts in Ahemdabad... our cursing them will only keep them looped in their vicious cycle... we have to see them through their ignorance by saying, stop violence and lets cultivate oneness...


OK...

Wow..... the experiences of being in a place like India is amazing all the time.... there is this funny feeling that overwhelms you verytime...

These are my experiences...: (all pictures are expandable when clicked)

As the aircraft was leaving, it was nudged by this funny car with many broad wheels.... i call it the 'tug car...'  they are the ones that help an airplane park as well as position the craft for propulsion; interesting, we all need that in our life.... a tug being... :-)

This is wonderful.... i always love the take off part... What a rush !!!... 10, 50, 100, 150, 300, 1000 Kilometers per hour.... yah baby !
The captain of the flight made a mistake... LOL... he said "cabin crew are requested to take their seats 'for landing'... man he must be beat....
I almost gulped from sadness as i realised that i was parting from her...

I'm in the first-class lounge, i didn't realise we had first class tickets till then... i asked 'Grandpa why did we buy first class when the economy would have done...' He answered "The economy class was full"...  
What if in life we always do that... stick to simplicity... only when God asks off us to work for him... we adopt things like money and resources; what if we just stick to economy class till then?

OK we had a sort off emergency... Grandpa took alittle longer in the wash room and the seat belt signs are on....the air hostess calls on me to get him out now !.... i call out his name... but he doesn't respond... i open the door and he just managed to buckle his trousers... the plane is shaking horribly... i take his hand around my neck and start towards the seats... some passengers see this and help out by getting out of their seats and giving one to him... a word of warning... 'Never walk on the craft when the seat belt sign is on - you will fall - twice :-"

We are roaming.... roaming....

I want to thank you for visiting my blog page... However before you commence reading my work please add this page to your favorites ... it will really be a great asset, you'll see...

 http://www.scientologyhandbook.org/scientologysolutions.htm

For those new to my place; this is an index of my blogs; the older ones are quite stubborn and one minded (mine) but just as a flower blooms out of a tight covert, so have I, in my later blogs.

I've started out with the stubborn ones :-)

1. Thought of the Day

I start my journey here by describing how everything in this world has two sides and that you will have to deal with the opposite of what you desire. The message of infinity is also mentioned; and the true thing you should want in this world announced.

2. Story

Here I try to tell you of how Buddha came to self-realisation.

3. Accidents; how to avoid them & Increase your Sixth Sense

 A description of how systematically the world is created and that there is a power that I call 'Q' that handles the rewards or punishments of your deeds and desires. He has no power over your choices but all powerful with their consequential results.

It also describes how being humble can change your sufferings and make you attain your now new goals, speedily.

4. Scientific Circumstantial Evidence

Good Karma is always hard to achieve and will never be in abundance. Your success is because of your last births Good Karma being put to good use; your failure is because of your 'this' births misuse of that Good Karma.

"It's not what you want to do, but what you ought to do." Swami Parthasarathy.

Guratitanund Swami says "You should spoil 10 million tasks (activities) in order to attain self realization; in case you get all those 10 million tasks (activities) Right but failed at self realization, then you have done nothing."

5. Love; How to

Here I describe a very playful way of being with God :

We are in a world, like the little child, in a fair, with one hand you should tightly hold onto your father, (the rules and regulations that are set out by your God - "Dharma") and with the other, you should tightly hold on to the mother, (the faith of unlimited bound, that there is a God - Devotion) and that no mater what, if by chance you do break the vows of the father, then you can atleast make it home with your hands holding tightly to your mother's sari. ("Bhakti" - Devotion)

6. Money Baby!

Here I describe how our minds rub with other minds and imitate what rich people do; by spending like them, earning like them. While it is completely unfruitful to do this; for money is begotten because of your past good deeds. Like a tree fruits after some time, so does money come to you after the seeds that you planted in your past life, fruit. The Lord says that those who are poor are happy and those rich, sad.

7. Stronger then steel.

The human nature (encapsulated in ego) is the hardest thing in the cosmos; and hence very very hard to change; however with humble affiliations with the self-realized, one can change his/her nature and be part of the bliss that is God. What we are doing now, is to use the body to supply the mind with many and unmatched desires that we think will make us happy. In so doing, we sin and we condemn our soul to new birth cycles... for desire is the cause of reincarnation.

8. Secret of Success.

The secret of success is "Detachment". If you perform any task by getting 'involved' with it yet Not get 'attached' with it, you will be successful. The types of karma are elaborated : The least rewarding karma, financially, is obviously the most rewarding spiritually.

9. Anybody out there?

There is life beyond earth: "Souls with particular levels of goodness, compassion, and empathy, live in higher levels of planetary systems, and those with low moral, greed and various other levels of sin; live in a lower planetary system." The Bhagvad Gita

We are in the last chakra of time know as the "Kaliyug" so : If you walk towards God, he shall run towards you; and if you run towards God, he shall fly, towards you.

10. Earth; a complex, supreme balance, life support system.

Here I advertise the Earth as a soul full of Love and compassion. Learn from her, I walk bare feet most of the time so that I can be one with her. "Still waters reflect; similarly, a mind that is ever-changing cannot see divinities reflection". Muktanund Swami

Love has no end, but lust does. If you truly love then there cannot be hate.

11. Vegetarianism; Scientifically

I describe how we have all evolved for a single sense living organism to a five sense one; and how killing a 5 sense organism for food accumulates 5 fold the sin.

12. Planet Jupiter; a soul full of altruism

A story of how a boy hit a king with a stone accidentally and got a whole county to be governed under his rule. How we should save something true by sacrificing ourselves if it requires of us.

13. The Coconut Tree the Sea and the Sun Deity.

The sun is the source of all life, source of our rains and the reason of light.

The coconut tree grows amidst the salty shores but highs itself from the salt and stores sweet waters in its fruit. That's what a saint does, sacrifices his time and life to uplift infinite number of souls.

14. Oh my God, I'm married!

This is a playful read, Nishkulanund Swami says that the soul is the He, the body the She & the five senses the five children; every being is already married the moment you are born.

15. I & my ('Ahum; Maumutvu')

Here I describe how we get entangled in this web of I & My and how our thoughts are seeds that we plant evertime we think; in-fact the moment one has a thought, s/he should only see it as a spectator coz if one gets involved with that thought positively or negatively, you are planting the seeds for your next life.

16. 'Akshar Amrut'

A description of Heaven by the Lord Himself and how to get there.

17. How Green are you ...

The 39 Qualities of God.

18. "Be the change you want to see in the world"

Here I announce how I shall save children from the 10 different regions of the world.

19. My Lord; my Love.

Shriji Mahraj has observed that obsession with material pleasures is the cause of the cycle of birth and rebirth.

State of upsham:
"When s/he knows the eminence of his divine person and has great and intense wish to serve and to have contact with his devotees."

The 32 qualities of a saint are described here too.

20. Alpha Omega

Translated here are:

A plea to the Lord.

Prayer of Empathy

Prayer of Love

Prayer of Longing

21. Pray! Don't play nor prey

It need be known that God already knows what you want, moreover, he knows what you deserve; so basically if you pray for something, chances are you get more than what you had even dreamed of.

Translated is also a devotional song on what the Lord likes and dislikes.

22. Close to Seven

Starts by seven things that Mother Teresa quoted as a must to do. Ends with the seven random facts about me.

23. 'Sanmukh' - 'Vimukh' (to Face - Away from

Starts with a joke about a thief who hid in a religious congregation and how he was caught.

When one is innocent; (follows the path of God) s/he is fearless, and when we turn the other cheek He does the same too and we are torn away to the realms of hell by the devilish people (Yumdoots).

Always be Sanmukh (facing) God, never Vimukh (turn the other cheek) to God.

24. I want to fly, so high; destination sky.

"The steps on a stairway leading to the temple, are such that they will be stepped on, erode themselves for you, but they will still do their task; to elevate you, to God."

Translated a devotional song on how to be brave in times of hardships that was written by Brahmanund Swami.

25. Time to face the music

Out of frustration I write how time and space (maya) plays games with your mind as they test your true love for God. Referance is given of how long various celestial bodies survive for.
Lord Swaminarayan says that "we have incarnated so many times as mammals that the amount of milk that we have suckled in our every infancy, amounts to more then the 7 seas combined."

26. Battle for the atoms

How we crave for the latest stuff that all ultimately boils down to "a particular combination of particular atoms". Rise above it, this petty shallow sea that you are in. 'a true being is one that feels the pain other than his/her own'.

27. 25,000 BTU's

How warmth is really vital in our being.

Translated a devotional song sung by Devanund Swami after he got to be with Lord Swaminarayan.

28. Effulgent Shriji Maharaj

Shriji Maharaj has described the state of achievement of His Devotees. The senses of such a person are incapacitated from being attracted to pleasures of material life and such a devotee sees Shriji Maharaj as embodying His light, resplendent in glorious halo of His light in human form, benign and youthful.

29. and the flute said...

A small fable that I heard at the temple on how the flute talked to the Gopis (cow-girls) and how they implemented what they heard.

30. and the music answered...

My little sis Shunya Devi got so inspired by the previous blog that she responded as follows...

31. Free at Last

My message of Valentine to all : "May you find someone who sings as beautifully as you heart beats' and if you are alone this time around then remember, there's someone out there that will give you more joy then you'd ever fathom; while you wait for him/her, teach yourself to love by practicing on God".

32. I just realised "I was in Hell"

Janaka Maharaja's visit to Hell; how he felt so much compassion at the sight of what went on there, that he decided to stay there until Yamraja (King of Hell) himself came ; Janaka Maharaja wished for the tormented souls to be freed of their punishments, the King of hell asked for a good karma in return that was obtained one morning when; with a pure heart Janaka uttered, "Rama, Rama". As soon as he said this, those persons dwelling in hell immediately were freed from their suffering condition and obtained divine bodies.

33. Project Hell

Photo's showing you of what happens in Hell to people who don't abide by the laws of God.

34. Commiting suicide

Lack of love, having a tough time? My population lives in more agony and pain then you could ever believe; yet they choose to live. The angels are out there, working at their best to make sure that everyday is as beautiful as it can be, but if you choose to close your eyes, then what can they do but to weep at the side of you where you will lay (dead). Dusk will change to dawn. Have alittle bit of bravery in God.



35. "My longing for you". God

God comes on this earth with His chosen ones to show us his love, and love we should Him.
This is another devotional song which has the chorus saying:
'No one is yours other than God, know it oh mankind.

Life's a four day amusment of full moon, after the 5^th day, the moon subsides into darkness'



36. "I have no fear of death..."

A small picture that reminded me that i have no need to fear death. Saints are truly worth being admired by... "I think they plant small bombs; that with time, will go off, giving out love in the air...."



37. The soul seeks simplicity

The simple life should be the quest for all beings, for it is the representation of Minimalism; Gods true sign of perfaction - it can be seen everywhere... seeds are examples of what no man can ever do, make orange juice out of dirt with the help of a small seed.
Also an explation on how mankind needs to sleep, and how simplicity can achieve it...



38. tally your 'tender' with God.

A reminder of tallying every day, how close you are getting to Him. A description of Jiv - Ishwar - Maya - Brahm & Parbrahm.



39. I disallow you, you cola you, and the like - if you don't change

A small assualt on the greatest threat on our children of the future... "soft drinks", how they systematically will destroy our new generations true potential; if not dealt with Now.



40. A 'Nari' in a 'Sari' - nothing more divine....

How a woman is a reflection of divinity, and how the sari brings it out...



41. Perspective Peculiar

Heart warming translations of devotional starnza's by Brumanund Swami and Premanund Swami.
"a single candle can light a million unlit ones; but a million unlit ones cannot light a single candle".
So which one are u? the single lit one or the million unlit ones.



42. A true measure of a man... How much of a 'She' he can be.

How you can near God very lovingly, a great collection of Premanund Swami's best works translated and allitle 'She' within me revealed.



43. Born free.... as free as the wind blows....

A fun way of making you realise your dark side - based on your star sign; and how the "law of diminishing utility" works on everything of this world



44. Some Sanskrit rap please ! For my Swaminarayan was born today ! !

The 14th of April 2008 was coinciding with the Lord Swaminarayan's birth day; this blog has many devotional songs in it reflection the joy of the same and a couple of video clips that were taken in the temple that day.



45. Discrimination; a tool to rid the rust off the rough mankind?

I think the title summerises the intent of the blog; although i must say the blog is very innocently written on how easily discrimination exists in this world and how it can help bring  "off - course" children of God back to Him.

46. Mothers are forever... 

Mothers are the key to humanities upliftment. Writen on mothers day 11th May 2008.


47. Anadi...

The title that you read above is given to devotees of God who are one with God like sugar and milk... When ever i feel down and it seems that the world is suffering too much and i feel guilty; for i don't suffer as they do... i read this book and it gives me great peace.



48. Dreams and Teams

Here i learn to be a good learner, communicator, culture, ...
I learnt the art of teaching by using tools like empowerment, trust, teamwork: Planning, time control, support, safety....

"- ownership of ideas takes place as involvement and participation is encouraged."

"- as a leader, develop positive feedback yet affirm to the basic parameter of the subject."

49. the world so wide...

Here i describe machinery, globalisation, currency, and their dark sides...
Jesus was a simple
Muhammad was a simple
Swaminarayan was a simple
etc

not one incarnation/messenger ever said that being big was good.

my mother always says, 'one who is born; lives his/her whole life, and dies – with the least amount of people knowing of the above events; has truly lived a good life'.

50. Shake it off !

Earth rids our souls crap by birth and rebirth... as long as we long for the sparkles in life; we will never understand nor happy in the bliss... the true kind of bliss that God is.


51. Credible India

My experiances and photos... many many photos of 'rural life India...'

one of the greatest things I like about myself is the fact that I chose a Hindu jacket this life around... we have so many fables and stories that I can't wait to tell you about this one... (I shall one day compile these works for future generations to learn from... I believe the imagination to be the greatest blackboard – infact the greatest colour-board out there; and these fables make use of it wholly, they were designed and written by great Gurus long time ago, and mostly had animal figures in them, something like the Disney pictures...) they form an unbiased opinion about something simply because of their fictitious characters yet the truth is homed so beautifully to the reader... so without further adieu:-

There was once a small boy, an elderly father, and a donkey;

They were poor and were making their way from one village to the next;

The little boy got on the donkey while his father walked alongside,

on the way, they were ridiculed by bystanders; they said look;

the old man is walking, and the boy is riding on the donkey...

so the boy got off the donkey and told his father to climb up on the donkey;

when they reached another village, the villagers there, said look;

the old man is making the child walk while he rides comfortably on the donkey...

so the old man got off the donkey too and they both started walking side by side the donkey,

when they reached another village, the villagers there said look;

they have a donkey, but they are walking by themselves; what a waste...

so this time both the old man and the child climbed on the donkey;

when they reached another village, the villagers there said look at that;

they are abusing the donkey by both of them sitting on it together...

the father and son got so pissed, that they decided the best thing was to – get this – 'carry the donkey!'

so they paired and tired the legs of the donkey and carried the donkey on their shoulders

when they reached another village, the villagers laughed and said look at that,

they are so stupid to carry a donkey on their shoulders instead of riding on it...

:-)

IF you have stopped laughing too...please continue reading... for the ending is sad....

they reached a river and when they entered to cross it... the donkey got underwater and started to struggle and amidst the struggle it was washed away down the river...and drowned; they lost their one and only asset...

The moral of the story :

the world will never see you as right, the only thing is to keep your cool, other wise you will loose your donkey... I mean; your most precious commodity – your peace. :-)

First create your spiritual status by obeying the word of God – and then based on that, create your goal,- If you will harm less, and help more, while you pursue your goal, then you have chosen the right goal; (Gandhi said the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others) - stick to it (Gandhi said that happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.) – and don't change your vision – if it's pure enough you will be ridiculed by the masses, but don't let that down you – just KIT (Keep It Together) otherwise you will be taken for a ride by the clowns in the circus of life...

Notice that the unattainable your goal; the more the tests you will be put through, the more the pain you will experience, the more the payback will be.

It's all about how much heat you can take... the question is where is your breaking point ?

All of us have that ... a breaking point... and it's exactly the people who have dared, those who have survived the winter chill and the summer sun; it's thier DNA that runs through us.... our ancestors went through a test that lasted millions of years for them to give you what you have... a body, synchronised with a mind that fires enough neurons to light up a 'light bulb', and a mental capacity to house God... baby this is deep, don't you think so ?

To all those who have experienced pain... congratulations... you are recruited to carry forward the light.

And remember “Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it.” Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi.

 

today was an interesting talk in the temple... there was a chapter on renunciation and one of the things was lust....

Yah baby... we heard a discourse on sex !... not in a good or bad way... well it went something like this...

“this whole world is on a wheel, and the 2 major spokes that are sustaining it are food and sex”

that was interesting... of course there are things like compassion and love and altruism etc... but these are in the minority not many go for the good stuff... in a tally of the worlds people's thoughts, we would really be belittled to find out that OMG... it's true...

imagine the saints that have renounced sexual “pleasure...” what makes them OK without it? the answer is kinda funny, just as a monkey puts its hand in the pot full of grains...and gets stuck in it as it tries to draw it out... we are all, in a way, 'stuck' in this trap called sex... all we have to do is to let go... having said that, what is more then 'it' then?
I was actually inspired to write this blog because of my recent comment here...
we have to admit that it has a damn good position... I mean, it's still going strong after millions of years... but wait... if you draw a line and then draw another line alittle longer then the first, then the focus is on the longer line... keep on.. drawing longer lines... and you will see that this 2.1 (women I think have it lasted for longer; anyway..) 2.1 seconds; lasting piece of ecstasy is now diminishing in potency...
Gandhi actually renounced it completely and even started calling her wife baa (mother) so.. what made him tick then... ?

The answer is so simple, letting go of something brings something better in light... we have to renounce 'it' to get something better... something more coherent and lasting... 'Orgasms'; at best are just petty sprinkles of chemicals in the brain, but the worst part is that sex is getting more and more attention and is getting to be a sort of decay in modern society... I remember my economics teacher telling me that porn is actually one of the liability that a country should address. I didn't know what it meant until I turned 15 and started having urges of my own... (yes I was a late bloomer :-) Anyway; young girls as 8 and 12 are interested in experiencing 'it' and to be honest... something that is left for couples in a wed-lock ... now is turning into be a business; I was watching this episode where Tyra made a show on how young women are entering this business called the 'porn industry'. According to the interviews, they were 'getting good money' and the whole thing was actually portrayed as “OK... but be cautious of infections..”. what the.... ? where have all the true God fearing parents gone ? a child's upbringing is after all the parents responsibility... although there were women that got into it because of genuine 'no way out' reasons... but still, it's getting to be an organised, and infectious and unjustifiable ummm decay...

anyway... that is my rant for today... stop accepting sex as just a casual phenomena... it's not... even the divine wed-lock kind should be understood like a medicine...  “you take the medicine all the time... you will die !” Dada Bhagwan.

Just trying to bring something so serious into light... incidentaly... if you understand the picture... it shows that the light gets brighter as you connect with someone with the higher Chakra's... and not just the lowest one...

One of the reasons why i don't write much is because of the fact that i'm realising what and how important my task is...

There are currently saints that have arrived from Rajkot, Surat and Ahmadabad at our local temple in Mombasa... so every evening the temple is nearly full...  the parents come with their children... and i am used to sitting at the back... for i thread flowers... (-: what i didn't tell you that? :-)

Every evening this is what i do in the temple...

She turns 51 today...

Not much to say... just enjoying sunday with her company...
Hey if you are new here... check this out...
Mothers day....

Thanks for the visit...
"Now where's my birthday cake maa !!!"

Ohh awww... i think i will have to run now... she's after me with a rolling pin...

HELP....!!!
