Man! O Man! 

Do not always nurture and protect me.

I am the vine pierced with thorns 

To yield sweetest of berries.

Not always a rose delicate to be pruned and cared for.

In my bosom grow the wild flowers of sparkling beauty.         

Each one wanting and needing its own habitat.           

Do not over look their desire and strength

To face fierce wind and rain for freedom,

To smile and dance under breezy sunshine.

Meditation

My Meditation Time

Filled with echos of Three!

My Mantra consist of three words

For body, Rest, Rest, Rest

For mind, Quiet, Quiet, Quiet

For emotions, Calm, Calm, Calm,

In my surroundings, peace, Peace, Peace!

Meditation time gets prolonged!

Calm and restive!

From memory vault arise

Not only sublime inspirations and

Creative thoughts, but also to do list.

I pick up the thoughts worth putting in action,

And set aside the ones not worth paying attention to. 

This is how I like to start my day!

Whenever I can!

🕉🙏

Mahalaya Paksh And Memories

Today Mahalaya Paksh ends.

The days of remembrance and contemplation,

Paying homage to our ancestors. 

In these days memory pays homage to memory!

With ancient rituals of offering of water, sesame seeds and rice balls

I give expression to those memories.

I think of beautiful days and days of pain and anguish.

Days of pleasure and days of  bitterness.

Days are getting short and nights are getting long!

Like Mother Earth, Memory carries the  joys and burdens of life

Through generations! 

O Life! With faith, love and devotion I bow to you.

Let the remembrance of my loved ones bring, 

Nothing more to me, than the strength, love and devotion,

To pass the beauty of memories embedded in our traditions to next generation.

Random Thought 72- Bonds Of Grief

Bonds Of Grief

Reflecting on our sufferings

We must not forget the suffering of others. 

Bonds of grief are often stronger than bonds of love.

Random Thought 71- Reason And Compassion

Reason and Compassion

The two light beams,

Flooding the heart and mind,

The guiding lights for humanity.

Gazing upon the periphery of mystical entrance,

Beyond my reach, 

I realize this is the highest,

I could aim or strive for.

Morning Meditations

I sit alone! 

Only to realize I am never alone.

I detach myself!

Only to realize I am attached to all.

In silence I hear my breath!

Through Prana, Universe pouring all its vigor in to me!

In silence I hear my speech!

Even with eyes closed my Vak( speech) reciting all my experiences to me!

Like River of Life gushing with full force!

Charming, enticing, energetic, enthusiastic!

I think of our ancients.

Sages, kings and commoners alike,

Sitting in front of fire chanting Vedic verses 

Prayers starting with Om! 

Rk and Sama creating a joint rhythm.

Rhythm that relies on breath and Speech! 

प्राण: & वाक:

A couple united through Life- The Eternity!

Note: These random thoughts are inspired by Chandogya Upanishad.

Open Eye Meditation

 I sit idly staring at horizon.

Nothing at particular!

To focus and concentrate on 

Any particular is a power, 

Now in recession!

A show of slow rhythmic movements

Grab whatever little focus I have!

A  white cloud floats in the blue sky!

A red bird sits on the stalk of 

Flower pot for few seconds.

Hymn! Never saw her sitting so close to me!

She flies away before I could even think of

Snapping a picture of it!

Squirrels seems to have vanished this summer! 

I wonder why?

But a rabbit often hops through back yard,

Summer heat makes him look thinner!

Marvels of life pulsating through 

Simple little things put me at ease! 

Beyond my blank, vagabond stares 

Quiet surroundings of my back yard

Aren’t as quiet as one would think!

Even with waning physical and mental prowess 

Life offers so much to focus on!

Random Thoughts 73

 Ambitions are high!

So are the road blocks!

Somewhere in between lie

The human capabilities

And means to perform!

The one who finds a harmonious way

To balance all this

Leads a happy and successful life!

षड्भाव ध्यानम् - (“Meditation on the Six Orders of Existence”)

 Based on Chandogya Upanishad chapter 2, section 22, Shlok 2

हिन्दी भजन

ओ मनुआ रे! गीत गाओ प्रभु के।

ओ मनुआ रे! गीत गाओ प्रभु के।

देवों का जब ध्यान करो तुम

गीत गाओ अमर्त के।

ओ मनुआ रे! गीत गाओ प्रभु के।।

पितरों का जब ध्यान करो तुम 

गाओ गीत स्वधा के।

ओ मनुआ रे! गीत गाओ प्रभु के।।

बन्धु जनों को मन में रख कर

आशा के तुम गीत सुनाओ ।

ओ मनुआ रे! गीत गाओ प्रभु के।।

पशुओं का जब ध्यान करो तुम 

गीत सुनाओ तृण-जल के ।

ओ मनुआ रे! गीत गाओ प्रभु के।।

यजमानों का ध्यान करो जब 

गीत सुनाओ लोकान्दं के।

ओ मनुआ रे! गीत गाओ प्रभु के।।

आत्मन-मन का ध्यान करो जब 

गीत सुनाओ अन्नम के।

ओ मनुआ रे! गीत गाओ प्रभु के।।

ईश्वर का जब ध्यान करो तुम 

रखना सब को मन में

ओ मनुआ रे! रखना सबको मन में।।

गीत गाओ प्रभु के ।।

Note: Chandogya Upanishad forms the last eight chapters of Chandogya Brahmana of Sàmveda.  The Shlok creates a musical rhythm for the Universal harmony and takes into account the welfare of six beings of Universal order. I have tried to translate it in a Bhajan with my crude knowledge of language and music, keeping the true meditative spirit of Shlok alive. The thought that it pays homage to our ancestors has really touched my heart.
