Taking responsibility- Saturday Feb1st , 2014

While singing a raga.. all the notes or suras are important. whether it is 're' or 'ga' 'dha'.. We need to appreciate how and why they are used... what mood they create... its all very subtle and enchanting ... and can only be revealed to a quiet and still mind.

Similarly we can feel the soft and subtle notes filling our lives by being in state of dhyan always.. Just continue to feel the vibes and feel the blessings of the universe bestowing us with positivity within...Its like merely feeling the powers within, without shouldering any responsibility... but real power lies in taking responsibility in taking the initiative and the task upon our own shoulders.. the task for which we feel passionate about .. be it X Y Z .. We have to feel for it.We do not have to justify to anyone out side .. just to ourselves........


Take responsibility in every sphere of life, Have faith in the subtle notes of life  For instance ....a person who is suffering from lung disease.. let him sit in the sun, in the open air.. open the windows and doors and let him feel the fresh air..let him sleep with doors of his room open.. with a window slightly open.. so there is circulation of air.. even if it is winter.. The air will coat him and give him life. Feel the subtle powers in the sun, in the air.. These are the 're' 'ga' and 'dha' in our lives.. the beautiful soft notes which have the potential to change the mood of the raga with its ethereal touch..

 If required switch on the heater also so that the air is warm, but let the air be full of oxygen and freshness .. Let it not be stale air circulating... let the fresh sunlight fill the person with warmth and goodness. Don't  give  artificial oxygen... let him feel the beautiful notes given to him by 'prakruti' and enjoy the music...Give his body and soul nutrition and it will grow back... Give him the elements from mother earth like garlic, sprouts, raw veggies and fresh oil ..all straight from the lap of Mother Earth..........

Massage with pure coconut oil/ sesame oil Avoid plane journeys, where the atmosphere is suffocating.

Listen to powerful mantras.. like the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra- the more we listen , the closer we get to self realisation.

The original religion of Buddha and Mahavira-- the message of love is lost..

Shower his soul with love like Mother Nature and all is taken care of.

Life is beautiful!!!

The ten hands of Durga

Why did Goddess Durga have ten hands??
two hands represent the Laxmi 'tatva' in all of us-- the beauty, the prosperity
two for Saraswati 'tatva'- which represents knowledge, diplomacy...
two for Parvati 'tatva' which symbolise.. love and passion
two for Ganesh 'tatva'.. which is for removal of all obstacles, when we ask inccocently.. we get all that we desire..
two for Kartikeya 'tatva'

All successful ladies have all these traits. only then can they kill the 'Mahishasur' in the society, in their minds and hearts and abolish it completely from the system.

Some ego is also required to kill.. Otherwise one cannot engage in any battle .. and at times a confrontation is required too. Ego here is beneficial and leads one to confrontation essential to face and destroy the evil.

A combination of all this .. leads to victory.
