Life is about Choices Made

We live our life on the basis of conscious choices ww make and this has an important bearing on the issue of our lifestyle management.
The choices we make, the Karmas we perform and the manner in which we perform them has an impact on our lifestyle and its management.
We all carry several Emotions, Desires, Sentiments and have varied ways of expressing them. Majority of in some sense, are related to our material aspirations. The possession of mind & intellect, albeit in varying degrees, and our sense of discrimination will not allow us to make a plea of innocence or ignorance of the consequences of our choices with respect to Karmas. The Bhagwadgita in chapter 16, in verses 1,2 & 3 lists out some do's & don'ts for an ideal human being: -
"Abhyam Satvam Sanshudhi
Gyan Yog Vyavasthiti
Danam Damasch Yagyasch
Swadhya Tap Arjvam
Ch. 16, V.2
Ahimsa Satyam Krodhastyag
Shanti Apaishunam
Daya Bhuteshu Aloluptvam
Mardvam Hrir Chaplan
Ch. 16, V.3
Tej Khashama Dhriti Shoucham
Droho Natimanita
Bhavanti Sampdam Devim
Abhijatsya Bharata
Krishna, in these 3 verses very comprehensively describes the characteristics & qualities of the blessed ones. These are 26 in numbers and it would be worthwhile to discuss their true import.
Absence of fear, Purity of Heart & Mind,
Installing one's mind & intellect in realization of God, the truth,
Charity to the deserving, Adequate control on one's senses.
Performance of good deeds & engagement in worship,

एक "मूर्ख", "अज्ञानी" की बातें.......

आज कल के डिजिटल मीडिया के जमाने में यहां लोगों को हर समस्या का हल गूगल बाबा से मिल जाता है और फ़ेसबुक, ट्विटर, व्हाट्सएप पर सभी के द्वारा सभी की चुगलियां घर बैठे ही आसानी से हो जाती हैं वहीं लोगों में बहुत सारी भ्रांतियां भी फ़ैल रही हैं। खासकर इन त्योहारों के दिनों में ही बहुत सी बातें हमारी संस्कृति से जुड़ी रस्मों रिवाजों को लेकर कही जाती हैं जिनके बारे में जानकारी काफी सीमित है। पहले कहा जाता था कि हर भारतीय अपने आप में छोटा-मोटा डाक्टर है क्योंकि हर किसी को हर बीमारी को ठीक करने के घरेलू उपाय और दवाईयां तक पता होती हैं। लोग किसी के पास उसका हाल चाल पूछने कम और अपनी डाक्टरी सलाह देने ज्यादा जाते हैं। इसी तरह अब हर भारतीय पंडिताई और धार्मिक अनुष्ठानों में विशेषज्ञ हो गया है। दवाईयां की तरह सभी को सब पता है कि किस त्योहार में या किस दिन कौन से देवता की कैसे पूजा की जाती है और वह लोग यह ज्ञान केवल खुद तक ही सीमित नहीं रखते बल्कि मुफ्त में हर जाने अंजाने को भी बांटते हैं। हमारा डाक्टरी में पारंगत होने का सबसे ज्यादा फायदा मेडिकल उद्योग ने उठाया जिस कारण आज बच्चे से लेकर बड़े बुजुर्ग सब...

Suffering, Suppression, Karma, Destiny????

I love this story of  our great Indian mystic Sri Ramkrishna Paramhans that is mentioned by Yogi, Mystic and Visionary Sadguru in a Yogi's guide is :- on a certain evening, two friends were walking together to visit prostitute. While they were walking, they heard a voice delivering a discourse on the Bhagavad Gita. One friend decided to attend the lecture as he seized by guilt but the other man left him there and went ahead. Now the man sitting in the lecture found his thoughts were full of his friend who is with the prostitute and he began to envy him. The other man also has his mind was full of his friend who is attending lecture with admiration. After reading this story a question comes to my mind that who is suffering more????? Definitely the man at the Gita is he who suffered........ Why ?????? Because although Karma denotes action of body, mind and energy, it is not about action alone. The man who went to the prostitute did not pile up as much karma as his friend because hi...

"RADHA - KRISHNA & Our History

Our history is ancient. The 4000- year- old Vedas do not mention Radha & Krishna. The Upanishads mention Krishna & Devaki but whether these are the same figures as in the story we know, we can't say. Krishna is first mentioned in the Mahabharata, the 2000- year- old mahakavya. Here we hear about Krishna and his relationship with the Kuru clan. There is no description of him as a cowherd. Written as many as 1600 years ago, a poem, a mahakavya, called Harivansh first mention Krishna's childhood as a cowherd. In the Mahabharata Krishna as Gopala is mentioned only in the defeat of Shishupala. In the Bhagavata Purana of the tenth century , Krishna sings and dances with the Gopis. Here rasa- Leela is first mentioned and described. Here, too, Radha is not mentioned. Radha first appears in Prakritkavya . There's king called Hala who complied an anthology of prakritkavyas called Gothashabdashati. It talks about the love of Radha & Krishna. Here, Krishna is a cowher...
