Randomness

This article is inspired by one of the guest lectures in my college.
This just an attempt to put whatever I learn...

"Randomness is a Natural Rule"

If we toss a coin 20 times then there have to be 3/4 Heads or tails one after another i.e. HHH or TTTT or TTT or HHHH... it was of course hard to believe; but when I tossed coin 20 times there was one trail of 4 tails. Then I did it again and again and I found its true. I can't get all heads or all tails or rather alternate head and tail combination or two head then two tails kind of combination.

A very simple observations I did about the events happening in life and realized something, if we think that the Particular thing should work in particular way only, then there are going to be variations... We might start with something in mind and end up with something which we never thought of.

If things work in the way we thought of then there is something to think about either something is very nice or something is going wrong somewhere.
"Nothing can go straight there has to be fluctuations, if not then there is something to look for."

I feel Randomness is what applicable for life too, if I look back whatever I have gone through was all random... Rule applicable to everywhere.

Actually not getting more words to explain in details so not typing anything more...

Water flooded in my House....

Today was an Amazing day.... I realized that when I "accept problem as it is"; acting on it become more easier and rational actions can be taken.

After lunch, I get call from one of my room mate, asking me to come home as soon as possible... Voice was surprised? There was question mark ? and Confusion in his voice... Like something wrong or unknown is there.... Then I insisted him to tell, he said there is water all over the house, Washing machine's water outlet was kept outside only (While coming to college we normally put our washing machine on so when we come back we can have washed clothes).

But scene was different today, there was water all over our house, so I and krishna finally went home with total acceptance of situation... As soon as we reached we started acting on the problem, it was more like action oriented than "arguing on why this happened and how some one can be so careless in small small things and stuff" never wanted to disturbed my peace of mind so we took rational actions to find the solution than cribbing on problem .... Actually I remembered one Guru Story "Once Guruji was suppose to stay in one room and one of his devotee or someone suppose to look after room. When Guruji actually came there was water in his room, people around thought he will get angry now, but he acted fast and started throwing water out of the room, with full innocence and smile on face."

I liked today's experience... It was good learning "Accepting problem and acting on it is more easy than sitting and cribbing on it..." Cribbing is waste of time... that is what I realized today.

Back to School Days

This Saturday was a day of adventure, with my School friends... Our most awaited visit to ShinhGadh (Shivaji's Fort near by Poona, will discuss about it briefly in later part of this post).

Rainy day, three bikes and five old friends, biking till we reach top of the mountain. During rains this fort is under clouds; nature is at its absolute lovable mood. I am always in love with such places. On the way there is Khadakwasla Dam (Whole Poona city drink water because of this Dam)... We specially go to sinhgadh to just chill out and have typical village food on top of the fort.

Its is really wonderful to have school friends and being able to freak out with them... Each one of us have some or other nick name (given by someone in school in some and the otherway.) .
Nikhil named nikhlya, nikhya, taklya.
Uday named udya
Rupesh named rupya, rupdya..
Ashish named ashya,ash,ashu,ashi, kashi, boo, lambu,tangya, tangs... ohhh my god so many names these people gave me during my school days...

Sinhgadh is one of THE spots for us... Whenever rain starts first thing come in our mind is just to visit sinhgadh. This place has its own beauty which I just can't explain...

Yes... this time also I was doing crazy thing there, I went up on top of some hill on the range of high mountain, to take snap of one flower... :).... Only thing is; the WIND was in its full speed and felt a big time push to valley, I was about a one-and-half foot away from valley and somehow managed to hold some small stone... Flash of time... and ... I was smiling with a wonderful WOW experience, uday with his stupid and helpless face looking at me...


Ofcourse we visit Wind Point (This point has historical back ground too...) to experience treamandous wind force and clouds moving directly on face from damn green valley... Wind point is too good place...



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brief history of SinhGadh


Tanaji Malusare (Maratha worrior) is responsible for the capture of fort named KONDHANA from Mughals, this fort is strategically placed in the center of a string of forts of Rajgad, Purandar, and Torna. The capture of Kondana was necessary if Shivaji Maharaj was to re-establish de facto control over the Pune region.

Recognizing the strategic importance of Kondana, the Mughals had maintained a battalion of 5000 troops led by Udai Bhan, a relative of Mirza Raja Jai Singh. The fort was built in such a way that all its approaches were covered by cannon-fire. Only on turret was not well defended as it was at the top of a vertical overhanging cliff.

Tanaji decided that this was the only way, he could enter the fort. He dressed himself as a Gondhali (devotee of the Goddess Bhavani of Tuljapur) and roamed the surrounding villages. He won the trust of one Mahadev Koli who was in the service of Udai Bhan. Koli presented the disguished Tanaji to Udai Bhan, who was suitably impressed by this "devotee" and allowed him free access to the fort.

Tanaji carried out a careful surveillance of the fort and at that very night when he was told that at the overhanging cliff Udai Bhan and all his senior commanders would be celebrating a usual party with an alcohol and dance orgy; Tanaji decided that he should seize this opportunity.
With almost all his troops, Udai Bhan had a roaring party on top of the overhanging cliff. Unknown to them after midnight, Tanaji and his brave followers who numbered 300 scaled the cliff using ropes tied to a reptile called Ghorpad. The Ghorpad can stick fast to any surface and a number of adults can use this force to scale a vertical cliff with the help of a rope, one end of which is tied to the Ghorpad. Silently Tanaji and his comrades slunk up to the top of the cliff.
On the other side his uncle Shelar Mama and his brother Suryaji had moved close to the other gates of the forts with another 300 Mavalas (Maratha Soldiers). On a signal from Tanaji, all his comrades who has taken up strategic position all round the celebrating Mughal army, broke into the party and mercilessly fell upon their enemies. They started slaughtering the surprised and ill-prepared and drunken Muslim soldiers.
When Udai Bhan saw that Tanaji - the leader of this invading band of Marathas was no other than the devotee whom he had given permission to visit the fort, he flew into a mad rage. On seeing Tanaji, Udai Bhan rushed at him and we are told that for a few fatal seconds, Tanaji started dancing in the same fashion as he had done as a Gondhali (devotee) when he had met Udai Bhan earlier in the day. The enraged Udai Bhan lunged at dancing Tanaji and cut off the arm with which Tanaji was holding his shield. But undaunted Tanaji used his turban to ward off further thrusts from the blade of Udai Bhan's sword and continued fighting him for 2 hours in this state with his wristless left arm bleeding profusely. It is for this feat of Tanaji, that he is called Narvir - Brave amongst Men.At the end of this ordeal, the exhausted Tanaji fell to a fatal swish of Udai Bhan's sword. But Udai Bhan too was throttled by Shelar Mama and thus lost his life.
When Tanaji was in midst the festivities of his son's wedding and he was summoned to fight and recapture the fort of Kondana. All the guests persuaded him not to leave until the wedding of his son was over, but he was determined to fight back and he said the following words in Marathi," Aadhi lagin Kondanyache, mag lagin Raibache", (Marathi: आधी लगीन कोंढाण्याचे, मग लगीन रायबाचे) which means"First the marriage of Kondana(Fort) and then the marriage of Raiba(his son). By the statement, what he meant to say was that first priority was to recapture the Kondana Fort and then attend the wedding of his son Raiba. Due to his bravery and courage and his selfless devotion towards Swarajya and Shivaji, was he able to leave his son's marriage and die a martyr's life for the Maratha kingdom. So deeply moved was Shivaji by his devotion, that Shivaji himself quoted, "Gadh aala pan sinh gela", (Marathi: गड आला पण सिंह गेला) which means,"The fort is ours but we lost a lion". and this was the time when Fort Kondhana became SinhGadh, in the honor of great Tanaji Malusare. He was the Lion (सिंह) and Gadh (गड) means fort.

WIND POINT is the exact place from where Tanaji and his soldires came to Sinhgadh, top of the cliff... (How they would have manged to climb in Midnight.?????)...

I feel really proud to know so many things about the Great Marath Shivaji Maharaj and his loyal army, who were always ready to build Swarajya for Shivaji. Somewhere in the English literature I have read that, if shivaji would have lived for more 5-8 years, british people whould not even looked at India to cpture it... They were so much scared of Shivaji so Mughals too...

Affection that matters not perfection.

After being in banglore for such a long time, some of the really wonderful things and learning experiences happened... Some of the learning (sweet and bitter but pointing straight to the situation) are here...

Never being dependent on anyone though there is a direct confirmation from the other person or a friend; they may not be ready to go out of the track for even few moments.

People say, "give more and expect less", I feel you only give don't expect anything thats the best sutra.

When you have nature of giving,caring and sharing, never think that things wont go wrong,right intentions may lead to wrong result... At times its a happy realization "Ohh!!! I Never thought of it???"...

I wonder about this city, people who are not supposed to be stressed out, are under stress, then what will be the state of the mind of other normal people... It's a big city, but everyone here is alone... How can people live here without being affectionate with each other...???

Some evening one may have a really big fight with very close friend, but can both of them are affectionate enough to just drop whatever is happened; that matters...? Just like fight between two small kids... They fight and next moment they are together...

Nobody is perfect (I never understood, what is exact meaning of PERFECTION...???)... Mistakes, miss-understanding, miss-communication and miss-behaviour are part of any relation. It should be like that only right?

Never take anyone for granted, you never know, what the individual must be going through, be bit sensitive and non judgmental... Just let go.

Some days are just better and some are not so good... So what???... Just be calm...
-------------------------------------------------------------
There was one day in banglore when I was sitting on a foothpath(on a stool); when I went to stich my formal shoes(Formal sucks), that cobler was so calm and happy in his work, he was giving 100% and i was just observing his work.(After a very long time I was sitting under a huge,green tree.) Sitting there and obersving people like me was again a fun part.
On the same day evening I was in a big 5-star or 7-star hotel with my friend for dinner, waiters there were also very happy and giving there 100% in work. we both were also giving our 100% while talking, shraing and listening... I felt, whether I am on footpath or in a big palace, nothing is going to change inside. The person inside remains same...
-------------------------------------------------------------
Some days back I got a SMS on one of the perfect moment saying, "If you trust some one trust till the end; whatever the result may be, in the end either you will have very good friend or a very good lesson..." And this was THE moment when such kind of thought was required. It was the perfect timing for this sms...

Come what may what finally matters is the affection and not the perfection, no one is perfect...

When Time Stood Still...!!!...

When time stood still….
There were some blissful moments when time stood still for me… This is just an effort to recollect all those moments.

• Sitting on the edge of a fort and watching never ending valley… Everything remains the same except me… time just stop making its presence, no one is around only I and the valley- full of silence. Wind is the only one who was touching my existence…
• Getting very tired, doing tough hard physical work… Coming back to home and taking cold water bath. The very 1st drop on the body and that ahhhh!!!! Feeling….. That very moment, for a fraction of second time stood still.
• Sitting on the top of hill and looking at setting sun… dance of colors in the sky…
• Mid night, no moon, sitting on a beach, listing the silence between two waves and watching the sky- full of stars … Time stood still big time…
• Playing a piece of music and all notes touches at exact point … music just flows with in… Time stood still…
• Closed eyes, body is still, sitting for meditation… time stood still…
• Going close to nature, looking at a big waterfall, only I and that waterfall… Sound of falling water and movement of white color… Time stood still…
• Early morning, open eyes, lovely sea in front of me …. Time stood still…
• Rainy season, going for a long ride on bike, getting wet and looking at beauty of three parallel rainbows… Time stood still…
• Floating in sea water, looking at sky and relaxing the body on moving waves… listing to sound of breath… Time stood still….
• This one is Scary… Going in a Jungle with full of enthusiasm, going in and in; and at one moment I realized “I have lost the track, don’t know how to go out, no one is around, all directions look exactly same, mobile but no range battery was about to die, look up and look down, listening to the sound of wind, leaves of trees, some voices and sounds…. Body feels cold and breath becomes hot…” TIME STOOD STILL… This was a big time stillness I have ever experienced…
• This one is more Scary… During trekking there was one cliff almost vertical with very less ups and downs to hold while climbing and I had no equipments to climb, Somehow I managed to climb half and there was nothing to hold on, neither I could climb up nor could go down, nice cool wind was moving in the deep valley… I was in between couldn’t even float in air… I looked down green jungle and nothing was moving everything stood still….. !!!...

For me time always stood still whenever I came across something which is very vast either inside or outside, may it be a silence, music, water, personal experience or a Big Scary Jungle…. Time stood still is a very beautiful phenomenon I always loved to experience…

Not many photos to post .....

It's My Birthday....

Yesterday was a charismatic day; I was waiting for this day from last many years, to meet Guruji on my birth day. Yes it was my birth day and I was in the ashram to celebrate it. I experienced a shift of mind in some moments.

“Feeling normal!” Actually it’s a state of mind I was missing from the day I came to Bangalore. Many things were buzzing my mind for no reason. uff.... I was observing my mind at times and use to tell myself "chill this will also pass, and there will be shift in mood of my mind." during these unstable days I tried to be quite. I was waiting for my birth day; I knew that there is going to be change in the state of my mind.

On Saturday only I went to ashram for stay, and got a very good accommodation. In the morning I woke up after breakfast timing. No breakfast!!!... In night many calls on mobile to wish happy birthday, so couldn’t sleep on time (feels good to receive so many calls on birthday). I got ready by the time of 10.30am and Kriya starts at 11.00am. I had decided that, “come what may I am not going to do kriya, I am not feeling well so I am going to canteen to have hot milk.” I convinced my 4-5 friends that I am not coming for kriya. Around 10.50am one of my close friend called me for birthday wish, asked me to come for kriya, “Now this voice was like an angelic voice for me and message I got was, Birthday Dude what are you doing come for the kriya….” This was really like an angel talking to me, my ego of not going to kriya just melted and evaporated in atmosphere. Now I just can’t resist the kriya and ran to do sudarshan kriya.

“After kriya” experience was the special effect of THE KRIYA and THE CALL to get me back to the normal mood. Yes form that moment I am feeling absolutely normal. Exactly same way I use to be, I just came back to my original nature and feeling more stable. It’s like a transition from one state of mind to another state of mind. I feel that, this one month was a time required for transition and my mind was wondering big time… After being in Art of Living for years, handling mind and situations in the utterly pathetic conditions was a fun for me. Just apply all the sutras learnt and get ready for the magic, yes it is magic just breathe, and there is better world in front of you.

Once I came back to normal, there was a treat in kitchen; I was very hungry, happy and normal… I hogged. It was like my birthday and whole ashram was celebrating it, food was delicious- chapatti, subji, rice and dal along with curd rise and khir (Of course everyone around me was happy with food). Wow food I really hogged big time. (Actually in Banglore all the time, what I ate was Dosa or some food belongs to Dosa family.)

Canteen people were waiting for me to order a cake, almost all people in canteen knew that it’s my birthday. I ordered cake, the chocolate one! Now I wanted to buy some gift for myself so I bought one nice kurta (I was missing one kurta, I am very bad in choosing good cloths. My friends helped me out for it. Everyone also liked the Kurta.) No need to say that I was missing my family people there and some of my old friends who always use to be around for my birthday…

During satsang time I was waiting with my cake for Guruji to call all birthday people on stage. I prayed that “there should be only one person who have birthday today” there were some 3-4 people with me, he blessed me and gave garlands…

After I met guruji some small kids came running to me for cake, I did give cake to all the people around and managed to keep some cake for my near and dear friends. ..
This birthday was really different one- Lovely atmosphere in ashram, the call, sudarshan kriya, delicious food, meeting with guruji, and extra ordinary presence of my absolutely lovable friends (there were more friends of mine than expected, feel good to get birthday wishes from few hundred people)…

This was a real transition for me… Yes I am back to the normal mood…. Feeling Normal….

There Exists Better World Few Breaths Away

"There Exists Better World Few Breaths Away" this is by BAWA, my teacher... He said this yesterday when I attended one of his session in Banglore.

In Art of Living, what we do is just “Sit, meditate and Breath...."; ofcourse we do lots of fun.
The most important thing in our life, which is our breath, is something which we are least bothered about... and after coming to Art of Living, understanding the breath, really make huge difference to me….and whatever is a problem, there is always a better solution for it... there is always a better way to live life and it becomes even more simple when it comes to breathing...

Seriously a better world exists just a few breaths away...

Something to Say or Say something

I wonder at times - it happens that, when you desperately want to do something, or say something to some one, or you are in a such a condition that you really want to share it with your very close friend and then some how you can't do so....?

At times others are busy or you are busy and time just flies!!! forget what you wanted to say.... Many times you wait, wait and wait for the other person to get free or situation to change so that you can still go ahead and share what you wanted to share.... But you keep on waiting ......
All small-big things remain unsaid-unanswered and intensity of sharing just diminishes..... Deep down.....

I think and thank for all those moments I were able to share with all my close friends things from mid-night Maggy to long long chat on mobile, small-small things and huge differences... Some times just a simple voice call of friends make huge impact and at times just a smile works.... Wonderful experiences and... now.... I wonder....

They say "Just Be silent when you can't do anything..."; I say "Other than being silent what else we can do? when we know that we can't do anything..." We can bang and bang, but not necessary that door will open, person might be wrong or just a wrong door....

Some Fun - Some Pain

This is the time of slogging for almost all of my college friends, as there is good amount of work each one of us has to finish before going for internships...

"Wow" Feeling (HERE WOW is a feeling) comes to me when I am very tired and in the night or mid-night I go home to take some rest... As soon as I go home, there is happy realization that I am suppose to wash my cloths; It would be easier for me to sleep actually but wet cloths in the bucket are waiting for me only... And I smile... Then again smile... now I start washing my cloths, such a fun to wash cloths in mid-night.. :)

Its a bliss to go home after a good working and studies, in pursuit of happiness to happy realization of having some cleaning and washing work at home...

Actually this is my last month for the rental house, so before I leave that house and prepare to go to some part of country for interns, Its my moral and social responsibility to wash my cloths and clean house. So every night I put some cloths in bucket to wash and promise my self that I will wash them in the morning... Now I am about sleep after brush and again I realize ohhh... "Aaaj to Sadhna nahi kiya???...!!!" This time also commitment wins and I start doing my sadhna, also doing sadhna is a "Promise"... Sometime in the night I go into deep sleep after sadhna...

Ahhhh... waking up in the morning it's and exercise for the mind and routine for the body... There is one home some distance away from my so called BED ROOM... The person staying there is fond of hindi songs rather one hindi song, daily morning I wake with an alarming hindi song "Jita tha jisake liye, jisake liye marta tha, wo aisee jo ladki thi...." on top of this I listen this song more than 5-6 times within an Hour... This is how I wake up, always late and then running to reach college on time... Trust me I reach exactly on time!!!... :)

As we are MBA students, whenever we get a chance from such hectic schedule may be in night or mid-night, we run to see a sea... Best part of this is to "Listen the silence between two waves...", all my pain simply disappears... Simply blissful moments...

Visit to Ashram

Ashram Visit to meet guruji on Gudi Padwa (Ugadi), Start of the new year and meeting guruji on such a day is absolute bliss. I was sitting exactly in front of guruji, one small table was between me and him...
Guruji spend around 20 min with all of us (SSIMS students, he invited us to meet him, such a bliss).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually we reached ashram in morning 10.15am, New year devi pooja were happening in VM. We ran to see him,(some of us were not interested in such stuff :( sad people). I was longing for such moments in ashram to meditate in VM when guruji is there. Of course the connection was immediate with out any effort.

Many things happened in ashram, meeting with bawa and dinesh bhaiya, allocation of rooms, etc... But meeting with guruji in Ganga kutir was something I was waiting for and we got message guruji called us to meet. No need to say we ran to his kutir. I managed to sit in front of his place exactly at Zero degree. WOW meeting guruji and it was so privileged feeling, thousands of people wait to get his glimpse, and I was able to sit in front of him and see him for 20 minutes, felt really blessed..... Again, somethings are good to experience than talking about....

Guruji spoke about many things, but I was only looking at him without even moving my eyes. After some time some one poke me, I didn't realized, then some one put my camera on my lap, and some body again poke me to click Guruji's snap [:)] I was lost actually....
Then I clicked some of his pics...



After spending 20-25mins with us, he left out to meet other devotees, who were waiting for him from long time, while going he said, "take pose for the photo, I will quickly come back :) "

From Infinity to Eternity

Such a blissful meeting...... some chief minister was waiting to meet guruji...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knowledge Point
Guruji told something special about this new year, there is a cycle of 60 years in Hindu Calendar and each year has name. Name of this year is VIRODHI, means conflict, this is the year of conflicts. Many conflicts will happen this year. So guruji advised everyone to be aware of this fact and do sandhna daily. Doing sadhna will make everyone lucky, he said we find some people are extremely lucky, this because at some point of time they have done sadhna.

He also said one person doing daily sadhna will help other 99 people around, in some or the other way.

Then he took meditation, till this time I was already experiencing THE after advance course experience....of course spending 20 min with guruji is enough for this..:)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next Day
Morning some time after breakfast, me, krishna went to meet bawa along with nandadip and bawa was doing something on computer, he asked us to wait out side.

He came out and asked us to come to his kitchen and we had lovely breakfast with bawa, he gave apple pickle too, bawa said some one from Switzerland always send this pickle for him. :), too good experiences in ashram....

Saturday evening (same day), we were suppose to leave and I really wanted to meet two of mine very close friends, I met one of them and made sure that he will come with me to ashram, so he did. And some how I couldn't meet my other friend as she was engaged in some work (although she managed to meet me ashram a day before for 5-10mins)... On top of this there were meeting with bawa and dinesh bhaiya so wanted to attain that meeting too. I wished I should spend some good time with my friends and attain meeting too, and some how our departure timing postponed. I had really good time with my friends; never wanted to come back...

Then of course we left ashram and came to goa next day morning.
Actually many small small things happened, but putting all of them will make this post longer....

From Infinity to Eternity

हमेशा

in this poem the word pyaar indicates attraction about many things, not a typical LOVE scene...

हमेशा.....
जिसकी कोई शुरवात नही,
अंत को जिसके अंत नही,
हमेशा वो है बस; जो रहेगा,
हमेशा.......!!!

वक़त है हमेशा से,
या वक़त ही है हमेशा,
वक़त तो कभी बदलता नही ,
बदल जाता है मुखवटा ||

मुखवटे ही बदल जाते है,
प्यार भी रहा है हमेशा ,
वक़त है गवाह प्यार का ,
पर वक़त का गवाह हमेशा ||

ना जाने कबसे है वक़त,
ना जाने कब तक रहेगा,
प्यार की भी शुरवात कबसे ,
जिसका कभी अंत ना होगा ||

दुनिया से पहेले वक़त,
या वक़त से पहेले दुनिया,
प्यार की शुरवात इसी धरती से ,
या प्यार भी है हमेशा ||

एक ही है हमेशा,
दो रूप है जिसके,
वक़त है हमेशा,
या प्यार है हमेशा ||

डर...

डर
डर कितना अजीब होता है,
कभी कुछ पाने का डर,
कुछ पाके खोनेका डर,
डर हर पल कुछ कहता है,
जिंदगी के लम्हों को, वक्त से बांधते हुए,
डर... कुछ सिखाता है,
खुबसूरत है डर बहोत, महसूस करने की देरी है|

रंगोंमें उलझना, और निकलने का डर,...
अपने आप में ही; चुपचाप बसा है डर...
अपना हाथ थामे दूर तलक ले जाता है डर ... ख्वाबोंकी तरह...???
पर सचाई से आगाह करता है डर, सपनों से बचाता है डर,
खुबसूरत है डर बहोत, महसूस करने की देरी है|

डर एक उजाला है, छुपती हुई तन्हाई का...
कुछ अजनबी रहोंपें बिचडे हुवे सवालोंका...
डर एक आइना है ...
कुछ सिमी परछाईओंका ...
कुछ गहरी अछाइओंका...
कुछ अनकहे जवाबोंका...
खुबसूरत है डर बहोत, महसूस करने की देरी है|

I have written this poem two years back... 1st poem on blog

Something Different to Say Today...

Finally some thought stricken my mind today... Were watching one beautiful play... Hell lot of meaning about human race of understanding matters and themselves... There was one message, "we need to understand ourselves to understand others..."; this thought really made sense to me, and remebered guruji's saying, which he said during navaratri last time, "If you are finding fault in situation, then there is no fault in situation, that is you who has problem..."...

Some points I could recollect from that play, I am putting down..

People have 400-500 years of history-past, we do have 400-500 years, but of future. We take and celebrate all things which have glory, in the history of India rajput people might have lost some wars, but artist should present victorious part of that history so that in coming generation none of those people will loose war again...

Artists and art is not bounded to audience, money, glamor and borders, for artist heaven is in every moment, they do not need to search for the heaven...

Each and everything has impact some and the other way, but artist takes exactly what is made for him, what is meant for him, and this way artist grows...
We need to understand our selves, this is what they do, whatever they knows about themselves they put it in an Art, and for them 4 or 400 audience make no difference if things came from their heart.... If something is very genuine then what is boundary? and what border? No religion, no laguage can stop it, it has to reach everywhere....

Art is an journey from heart to heart and not from heart to head... Though we have so many languages, religions, cultures and etc, etc; what is more appealing and connecting is the Art... Since its the language of heart to heart...

I always wonder, we can connect to some people and not to all, but if we are able to connect ourselves then connecting to each and every one will be so easy... AND WE KNOW ONE PERSON WHO IS CREATING WONDERS BY CONNECTING TO ALL KIND OF PEOPLE...

It is nice to know that something we remember, something which have impact on our mind, may be a person's behavior, or something we heard, or something we read, played, liked, thought of, whatever it is...; one day one small thing make us understand so many things related to that impression, which we must be carrying almost unknowingly...

I understand why artists are so passionate about the art, every time they reach to new depth, may be doing similar kind of art, but each art if different; it is a simple variation between, SAME VS SIMILAR... When art touches me, it must be came out from with in the passion of particular artists... When there is an art, artist never need an introduction :)...

Visit to arambol...

[This article is written on monday (9th Feb 09, but because internet was not working couldn't upload the post...)]
Yesterday was one most crazy day in goa...
This was mine and krishna's 1st visit to Arambol beach, one of the coolest beach in goa, and yesterday was one of coolest day in Goa though we got tired it was worth to be tired.
Biking in goa and photography are two more cool things I am addicted for, yesterday my bike ran for more than 160km, quite long if I drive 82Km one stretch. We left early in the morning by 7am or something and reached there by 9am ofcourse we lost road also in between…
And once we reach to beach it was soothing experience morning sun and beautiful beach, fresh air to breath and felt better after sitting too much on bike :) …

From Arambol

As soon as we reached beach we started walking on left side as on right side there were hill, actually there is one more beach next to the hill and that was much beautiful… The second beach is in between 3 hills with one Water Lake like, and jungle.
We took a long walk on beach and reached to next beach, actually waked for more than 2hrs and then went to the other beach, located in between hills. Lunch and then went in a Jungle…
Jungle!!! And then lost in Jungle had no idea where we were heading and which path to choose for either to reach up the hill or go back… We could locate some of the big stones and dry waterfall a big one.

I and Krishna were searching for the way out for long time and finally seen some more people coming but they disappeared in jungle so we couldn’t even ask how to come out… huh… Then finally somehow we were able to choose one path to go out and came out from that BHOOL-BHULAIYA….
Then we had fun on beach, lunch, enjoyed sea and came back… Many things to type but unable to put them in words….


Tempting to go again actually….

Winter Break Dec 2008- Yes++

Back form the Ashram.....
This advance course in winter break gave me very amazing experience, dinesh bhaiya, bawa and vikram hazra's satsangs were rocking; and I we were 1100 participants.

Hmmm.... Reached Bangalore two days before only, wanted to meet some of my very close friends, and best part is all of my friends whom I met have impact on my life some and the other way...Some of the best pals, I have spent with them... My stay was at antariksh's place...

1st day only I planed to meet one of my friend...Its fun to drive bike in Bangalore... Unknown city, don't know how to reach to a destination; where my friend were waiting for me... Actually I was one and half hour late to reach there... Huh and Bangalore traffic...[:(]... And have spend 45 minutes with my friend or 45 amazing minutes with 100% being in present movement... 45 min are very less actually....

Then second day I was suppose to visit two more friends' places, who are married and settled in Bangalore, old fellows.... Morning I left from antariksh's place and visited some place called ..... ufff forgot the name of place... spent many hours their and then went to MARATHALLI, name of some place where antariksh picked me up and we directly went to my college friend's place, here we stayed and had big laugh... after a very long time actually...

As next day was the day of reporting and supposed to go to ashram as soon as possible so that will reach on time, from evening only session started...

Bawa's question answer session and silent present of dinesh bhaiya and all of us in Vishalakshi Matap, very tempting situation for me, missing all that...I am back to Goa ...On that day after everything get over I got a chance to click snap with bawa and dinesh bhaiya, of course I took an opportunity to freeze that moment...

From Infinity to Eternity

Bawa, dinesh bhaiya and virkam hazra's satsang rocked my advance course.

All boys got accommodation in Khodays; Bangalore winter, in ashram, in khodays, and in the early morning 4-5am taking cold water bath... Water was ridiculously cold. I do take cold water bath daily but khodays cold water!!!...Being silent and taking cold water bath is one of the adventures in advance course, especially in ashram during winter break...

This advance course was more effective than those I did before... each time I feel same way... [:P]... During advance course dance of Chappals was the second most adventure for all participant, though there was one person who were taking care of all chappals, there were many people who were having same kind of chappals including me, so chapplas were getting exchanged during each break, i.e. 3-4 times a day... I lost my so call wired chappals and got same kind of much more wired chappal during the course; which I have thrown to garbage box...

My 31st dec was in silence, like most of us in ashram; bawa's guru pooja and vikram bhaiya's satasang rocked our starting of new year...

And finally the day come when advance course ended, and time came to live ashram, most of us never wanted to go back to respective cities... again same feeling each time!!!

On the 3rd Jan me and two of my Poona friends were visiting MG road, as I was suppose to stay back to my friend's place and leave for Goa on next day, and two of them had to finish up their work or meeting with people... Actually I also managed to meet one of my close friend again... Now one of my friend named shashank from Poona, were carrying my Camera in his bag, as usual his mobile was not working as well and I forgot to get my camera back from him... Uff... Then I started calling other Poona people in ashram, but none of them were picking up my call as well...
I was planning that some one from Poona or Goa will take my camera and go to either poona or Goa so that I can get it back...
Fortunately none of Poona or Goa people picked up my call, finally I went to antariksh's place and took his bike to go to ashram to get my camera, when I was half the way to ashram I realized that my train tickets are in my camera bag!!!...???

Back to ashram on bike was like a blessing, satsang started already, last chance to attain satsang to I ran to grab my place...Now this time I was wearing my Reebok shoes, I removed them and were putting them on stand and there it is; I found my lost wired chappals there... and as soon as satsang finished my camera search started and managed to get it...

Then back to antariksh's place... and good night sleep... morning left out had some work and then to railway station... Next day early morning back to Goa...

There are many things which I have not included in this article as it's hard to put everything....

Waiting for next opportunity to go back to Ashram... Or go back to HOME...
