DASSERA...


BLESS US!

JUST BEHIND MY THOUGHTS......

Just behind my thoughts,
Just behind my worries,
I find you!

Just between my jobs,
Just between my pastimes,
I find you!

Just in silence,
Just in noise,
I find you!

Just over my impatience,
Just over my agony,
I find you!

Like melting ice, sorrows disappear
Like the raising sun, hope appears,
Just when I find you!

Calmness

Calmness is the cradle of power.


God..help me to stay calm!

Who am I?

In this sea of humanity, who am I?
In the whirlpool of desires, who am I?
In this matrix of events, who am I?

Lost in the world of people,
Caught in the bog of desires,
Trapped in consequence of events,
Who am I?

Thoughts and feelings rule the roost,
Anger and sorrow carry my mind,
Aspirations & desires take this life away.

I am that which I dont relate with
I am that which I have never seen,
I am that which I have never felt.

I am the spark,
I am the bliss,
I am the Aum,

I am that, that I have never known,
I am that, which I want to know!

(Main woh hun jo chahu woh paavu)

Today is my birthday!
Celebrating it for "n" th time? Who knows which birth this is...and how many more...
Yet its time to rejoice and celebrate every year in every birth.

I bow to the Lord...for HE is with me every birthday...every incarnation.


Verses from Vishnu Sahasranamam - 1000 names of Lord Vishnu

Shanta Karam Bhujaga Shayanam
Padmanabham Suresham
Vishvadharam Gagana Sadrsham
Megha Varnam Shubhangam
Lakshmi Kantam Kamala Nayanam
Yogibhir Dhyana Gamyam
Vande Vishnum Bhava Bhaya Haram
Sarva Lokaiaka Natham

Meaning:
I adore Vishnu, the embodiment of Peace, who sleeps on the serpent,
Whose naval is the lotus of the Universe
Who is the Lord of the Gods, who is the support of the Universe, Who is in the form of Space (the Omnipresent)
Whose color resembles that of clouds, Whose body is auspicious
Who is the Lord of Lakshmi, whose eyes are like lotuses
Who is attainable by Yogis through meditation
Who is the destroyer of the fear of birth and death
And who is the One Lord of all the Worlds

LEAD MY WAY LORD...!

HOLD MY HAND

HAPPY UGADI - Today is Telugu New Year..

A poem of Alfred Lord Tennyson...

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.

Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.

Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times;
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.

Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
Today is Telugu New Year.
