| Evolution of Love Part 2 |
| The beginning of spring and the beginning of autumn are two very important junctions of climatic & solar influence. These two periods are taken as sacred opportunities for the worship of the Divine Mother. It represents celebration of Goddess Durga, the manifestation of Deity in form of Shakti, Vasant Navratras, is the festival of 9 days dedicated to the 9 forms of Shakti in the spring season. The Story Behind the Origin of Vasanta Navaratri In days long gone by, King Dhruvasindhu was killed by a lion when he went out hunting. Preparations were made to crown the prince Sudarsana. But, King Yudhajit of Ujjain, the father of Queen Lilavati, and King Virasena of Kalinga, the father of Queen Manorama, were each desirous of securing the Kosala throne for their respective grandsons. They fought with each other. King Virasena was killed in the battle. Manorama fled to the forest with Prince Sudarsana and a eunuch. They took refuge in the hermitage of Rishi Bharadwaja. The victor, King Yudhajit, thereupon crowned his grandson, Satrujit, at Ayodhya, the capital of Kosala. He then went out in search of Manorama and her son. The Rishi said that he would not give up those who had soughts protection under him. Yudhajit became furious. He wanted to attack the Rishi. But, his minister told him about the Rishi's prowess and Yudhajit returned to his capital. Fortune smiled on Prince Sudarsana. A hermit’s son came one day and called the eunuch by his Sanskrit name Kleeba. The prince caught the first syllable Kli and began to pronounce it as Kleem. This syllable happened to be a powerful, sacred Mantra. It is the Bija Akshara (root syllable) of the Divine Mother. The Prince obtained peace of mind and the Grace of the Divine Mother by the repeated utterance of this syllable. The Devi appeared to him, blessed him and granted him divine weapons and an inexhaustible quiver. The emissaries of the king of Benares once passed through the Ashram of the Rishi and, when they saw the noble prince Sudarsana, they recommended him for Princess Sashikala, the daughter of the king of Benares. A Swayamvar was arranged. Sashikala at once chose Sudarsana. They were duly wedded. King Yudhajit, who had been present at the function, began to fight with the king of Benares. Devi helped Sudarsana and his father-in-law. When Yudhajit mocked Her, the Devi promptly reduced Yudhajit and his army to ashes. Thus Sudarsana, with his wife and his father-in-law, praised the Devi. She was highly pleased and ordered them to perform Her worship with havan and other means during the Vasanta Navaratri and she disappeared. Prince Sudarsana and Sashikala returned to the Ashram of Rishi Bharadwaja. The great Rishi blessed them and crowned Sudarsana as the king of Kosala. Sudarsana and Sashikala and the king of Benares implicitly carried out the commands of the Divine Mother and performed worship in a splendid manner every year during the Vasanta Navaratri. Sudarsana’s descendants, namely, Sri Rama and Lakshmana, also performed worship of Devi during the Sharana Navaratri before the battle of Lanka and were blessed with Her assistance in the recovery of Sita. Thus came the tradition of worshipping the Devi during the Vasant Navratri. On this auspicious day of Ashthami, May the Goddess Devi Ma bless you and your family with good health, happiness, opportunity, prosperity and Shakti. May all your dreams be fulfilled, May you be blessed with a year full of smiles and stay blessed forever. |
| Let’s put things back Inside the box Pull down the shutters and bring out the locks. The processions, the garlands, the loudness , the noise. The drum rolls , the traffic, the politician’s toys. That statue of Mary, the frenzied whipping and blood, The colourful buntings, those idols of mud. The cries of the maulvi ripping the dawn, The garbage of crackers littering the lawn. The bleating of goats - a chorus halaal, The groping of women - in public they’re maal! Can we put our religion firmly back in our home, It’s becoming quite rabid- a street dog with foam! Back in our hearts , back in silence, our mind In the quietest corner we can possibly find. Converse with our God, or our conscience in peace, Standing or sitting , or down on our knees. Nobody needs to know what we worship or believe, The intricate patterns of devotion we weave. It’s a private affair like the party you vote, The motherly cow, or the sacrificial goat. Worship or not, but keep it within your walls, Bring out your beads or dress up your dolls. Sing softly to the One , offer prayers and incense , Keep it silent and strong , or quiet and intense. Don’t spill on the streets , don’t scream on the speaker, Don’t hassle the neighbour, don’t prey on the weaker. Think for a minute, could this shoosha be calm They all will prefer that: Allah, Jesus and Ram. Spend a day saying thanks - let the loudness be spared He can hear you quite clearly- not hearing impaired! Whether saffron or green , rainbow or white, Put it back in the box folks - and shut the lid tight. This poem captures the mindset of people of different religion, culture and creed in India. I have tried to add the political and emerging mindset of people in India. Open Prompt: Write a poem over 30 lines, Structured or Free Verse, on the topic of your choosing. Written for "The Whatever Contest."  "The Whatever Contest -- Closed for Now"  Word/Line Count:64lines |
| A conglomerate of fools, Unfettered by any rules Determined to make way For an early Doomsday. Politicians stand by Watching myriad people die! More concerned about rallies And their Assembly seats tallies. Priests their prayers chant, Their concern for humanity scant. Hordes dip into the river, Asking God to deliver? Pray where is good sense? Are we collectively so dense? Let our conscience awake, For our great country's sake. Else this virus will annihilate The pandemic will not abate. |
| Dorab Bawa’s Nepali Servant, Bahadur had this habit of drinking Whisky 🥃from his boss’s Black Label bottle and replacing it with water! Dorab Bawa, did suspect him but tolerated it for a while.. But when this became a daily routine, Dorab Bawa decided to do something to trap Bahadur. So he shouted: “Bahadur?” Bahadur answered from the kitchen: “Yes Shabji?” Dorab Bawa: “Who drank my Scotch and added water in the bottle?” There was no answer from the kitchen. Dorab Bawa repeated the question, still no answer. An angry Dorab Bawa marched to the kitchen and threatened Bahadur! “What the hell is going on? When I call your name you respond with ‘Yes Shabji’ and when I ask you a question, you remain silent. What is this? !!!” Bahadur said: “Shabji, In the kitchen, you can hear only your name being called.You don’t hear anything else that is said, I swear.” Dorab Bawa: “How is that possible? All right, I will prove you wrong.You stay right here in the hall I will go to the kitchen and you ask me a question, OK Bahadur?” So Dorab Bawa went to the kitchen. Bahadur shouted: “Shabji?” Dorab Bawa: “Bolo Bahadur?” Bahadur: “Shabji, Who becomes intimate with the maid in Madam’s absence?” Silence – no reply! Bahadur again: “Shabji, Who made the maid pregnant?” No reply. Bahadur, yet again: “Shabji, who arranged for her abortion?” Dorab Bawa came running from the kitchen and said: “You are right Bahadur. When one is in kitchen, one can’t hear anything but one’s name. That’s bloody strange!”?.. |
The hot water you drink is good for your throat. But this Corona virus is hidden behind the Paranasal sinus of your nose for 3 to 4 days. The hot water we drink does not reach there. After 4 to 5 days this virus that was hidden behind the paranasal sinus reaches your lungs. Then you have trouble breathing. That's why it is very important to take steam, which reaches the back of your Paranasal sinus. You have to kill this virus in the nose with steam. At 50°C, this virus becomes disabled i.e. paralyzed. At 60°C this virus becomes so weak that any human immunity system can fight against it. At 70°C this virus dies completely. This is what steam does. The entire Public Health Department knows this. But everyone wants to take advantage of this Pandemic. So they don't share this information openly. One who stays at home should take steam once a day. If you go to the market to buy Groceries vegetables etc. take it twice a day. Anyone who meets some people or goes to office should take steam 3 times a day. *Steam week* According to doctors, Covid -19 can be killed by inhaling steam from the nose and mouth, eliminating the Coronavirus. If all the people started a steam drive campaign for a week, the pandemic will soon end. So here is a suggestion: * Start the process for a week from morning and evening, for just 5 minutes each time, to inhale steam. If we all adopt this practice for a week the deadly Covid-19 will be erased. This practice has no side effects & doesn't cost anything either. So please send this message to all your Loved Ones, relatives, friends and neighbours, so that we all can kill this Corona virus together and live and walk freely in this beautiful world. |

| One in One, One from One, One for One, One by One, One with One, One to One, One on One and beyond beyond. This formula has been given by pragyanpurush Sri Sri Babathakur. I would like to elaborate on this with an example. This is a simple example of a daily life and it is being taken from the Knowledge of Knowledge (volume 1) by Sri Sri Babathakur. The example states— We get up in the morning, go to work for earning our livelihood by the use of our inner and outer senses, get money from the employees or business based on our quality and quantity of delivery. So this is an example of Jnana(Jnanabhas) in, of, from, for, by, with, to, on and beyond Jnana(Jnanabhas) Here, we can see how consciousness in the form of person, things, work action plays with itself. Everything that we come across in this universe is nothing but Consciousness that is I-Absolute. As long as we think we are in our body only, we think ourselves limited, mortal and our ideas are mostly influenced by the sense of otherness, sense of seperateness and sense of individuality through form, name and idea. Consciousness which is the basic substratum of everything is the Oneness itself. Our beloved Sadguru at this point bestows us with Knowledge Of Knowledge or Science of Oneness or Supreme Wisdom, unfolding the divine nature of everything i.e. the Truth and Reality. This can be felt by the conscious and dilligent practise of the Formula of One. As per our Sadguru, the constant rememberance of oneself as Paramatma or the I-Absolute awakens the inner knowledge which rests within heart of the seeker as a result of which he will achieve a complete Unification with Absolute I-Reality. To realise one's own Self-I present equally within and without everything is the goal of any seeker, hence for him in the words of Babathakur —'birth and death are nothing but attachment and detachment respectively of the consciousness with ignorance.' 🙏🙏🙏🙏 🌸🌱🌸🌱🌸🌱🌸 Joy SriSriBabathakur |
