Another new place

It had started snowing in other parts of H P and the higher altitudes of Chamba are also covered in Snow. Many had migrated to other warmer parts, so I had to look for another place for a week. I bought new jackets ,inners,gloves and shoes else my body may not be able to survive. All people are living inside and the fire inside i
s let up or the heaters are on.


I am now in Chuari ,50 Km away from Chamba town.This is a small silent town with less than 10000 residents. I was not coming here for the first time ,this is my second visit. The 50 Km road passes through lots of mountain passes and valleys.It took an astounding 4 hours to reach this place.(Speed =12.5 Kmph!!!).These roads are so dangerous that on the sides we have 300-400meter deep canyons. People say if the vehicle goes down then nothing is left. Actually I am not afraid of such places but what to do I had a slight fainting feeling and nausea!. But life goes on for these people. Nice and beautiful people. New people, New place ,New begining..
A class is going to start from Tuesday.


As Asha had said I am enjoying this winter,what else can I do ,I am now not in a position to change the climate ,so wherever I am in I have to be happy !!!

A new place

At last I got a connection through Airtel to internet (though very slow !)and I am here again!

I am now in Chamba, Himachal Pradesh a picturesque landscape made by the creator and people call it the land of Shiva. As the scenic beauty , people are also beautiful inside and outside.
A land of rich tradition ,of more than 1000 years which is untouched by many of the invaders. It is also going to be the largest producer of Hydro electric power for HP which is going to harm the entire mountain system in a great manner.
But the new generation is not interested in any of the above details ,for them Chamba is just like anything and they are mainly in to drugs and alcoholism .
And I am here to know all these and if possible do whatever I can to stop this place from ruining. I had already got some like minded people here who know of this and they need someone to lead with spirit .
And I understand that without a spiritual awakening nothing will happen , we need to revive Chamba!

Going to Himachal Pradesh

As there are lots of work to do in HP for Art Of Living I will be leaving on 26th October to HP.
For the time being all out there ,,Bye bye"

My Comfort Zone

I use to have a Comfort Zone
Where I knew I couldn't fail
The same four walls of busy work
Were really more like jail.

I longed so much to do the things
I'd never done before,
But I stayed inside my Comfort Zone
And paced the same old floor

I claimed to be so busy
With the things inside my zone,
But deep inside I longed for
Something special of my own.

I couldn't let my life go by,
Just watching others win.
I held my breath and stepped outside
And let the change begin.

I took a step and with new strength
I'd never felt before,
I kissed my Comfort Zone 'goodbye'
And closed and locked the door.

If you are in a Comfort Zone,
Afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners were
At one time filled with doubt.

A step or two and words of praise,
Can make your dreams come true.
Greet your future with a smile,
Success is there for you!

The pain deep within

Something stuck deep within
Will pain for so long
This makes feel it is eternal
Though it is for a moment

Cause of the pain
Is always the love to be?
This never happened to be
And it always happened to me.

Losing is as good as winning
AS, nothing is as good as losing
Because the one who have lost
In love, wins it all

A big smile can always hide
All the grief inside
Make it a smile always
Only the brave can smile always.

The longing, the praying
So pure and deep
Will move the divine
Make this world a wonder

What do Angels Look Like?

What do Angels Look Like?
Like the little old lady who returned your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told you thatyour eyes light up the world, when you smile.
Like the small child who showed youthe wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offeredto share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed you itreally is all possible, if only you believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along,when you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart,when you didn't think you had one left to touch.
Angels come in all sizes and shapes,
All ages and skin types.
Some with freckles, some with dimples,some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguised as friends, enemies,teachers, students, lovers and fools.
They don't take life too seriously,
They travel light.
They leave no forwarding address,
They ask for nothing in return.
They wear sneakers with gossamer wings,
They get a deal on dry cleaning.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed,
ButThey are everywhere you look when you choose to see.

My trip to my masters show

My master was in Trivandrum .

Me and my friends took a car and travelled the 700Km destination in the most dangerous roads available for regular users(!)

We reached Kollam in the morning of 6th September .I was visiting it for the first time ,this beautiful Ashram at Kollam.
Also visited a local temple of great reverance.
En route we visited Shiv Giri Ashram ,The Samadhi place Of Sri Narayana the great reformer
Reached Trivandrum by 3 0 clock.The Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium was beautifully decorated and a stage was also built.

He arrived at around 4 30PM and gave PDS and SudarshanKriya.
The master went for a brief temple visit to Padmanabha Swami Temple and later on came back to have a beautiful Satsang and messages to all of us.

We returned back by 11:oo PM and reached Chotanikkara Devi Kshethram at 4:00 AM
From there to Kodungallur Thripayyar, Guruvayoor and Kadampuzha Temples.
My trip was extremely great and beautiful by the grace of the master.

Life story

When the wind sings through me
By the sides of my ears

Standing beside the sea
I can hear the rumble of the ocean

I can feel the strength of the waves.
Feel it crashing in to the rocks

Some little ripples and simple waves
Some high and big thundering waves

Frustrated and desperate
Sometimes joyful and enthralled

But when I look afar
I don’t see the anger nor the sadness

Its really calm and serene
When one look in the distance

All through these ages ,till the eternal
Life goes by ,roaring high and sighing low

About unconditional love

Yes I am going to the basics



Love



The most misunderstood,misused, word in English vocabulory



When we see life ,all the beings need love and affection . Parents, Children ,Spouse ,relatives ,friends everyone even pets needs love and all they do is demand love.



All the problems in life is one way or other way connected to love.



Love forms in to lust

Lack of love gives rise to anger

Love exists so do hate.

You love a person dearly and you can hate that person as much as that.

Love kicksup the jealous person inside you.

Love creates war

Love makes things done.



All this happens still we are unaware that love is what everyone needs.



A child loves its mother since that woman is its 'mother'

Somebody is your friend because there is something in you that is appealing to that fellow.

This is not true love its 'business or give and take mechanism'



Neither is your girlfriend/boyfriend your true love.Since it may change at anytime.



You love the beauty? you love the money?you love fame?



good but its not true love



We demand love but we are very poor in giving love.



If we can stop demanding and start giving ,that will make a different world.



This is the only solution ,for a better tomarrow.



Just see around you.



The sun is shining or there are clouds or there is rain.the wind is blowing or its calm.



What about your existence.



You are alive.

You are breathing air.

The nature loves you so much.



But it is not asking anything in return ............thats unconditional love ,the true love.



however , whatever manner wherever you are ,You are loved. If you dont love back in return also its alright you are loved.



the lord,the god ,whatever it may is loving you this way.



where can you find this love?



deep inside you. nowhere else .



its you the sarting point and you are the culmination.



Know this you will get a glimpse of bliss (Samadhi!!!)
