"The Hanuman Effect" = Cultivating & Carving our Minds

Our body and mind is ever evolving. While our body grows older, our mind grows younger. At least, that’s how it is supposed to be. How come our minds grow younger? Well, the more you learn, the more you understand simple facts of life, the more your mind can process information and channelize it through right sources. The same statement you read a year back might mean entirely different when it is read today. This is why we have to give special attention to our mental growth. None of us want to go backwards. The first step in order to grow is to understand oneself. Now understanding oneself is easier said than done. But if a person has enough time to notice himself, retrospect his thoughts and actions, and have the humility to learn from others, and accept the beauty in differences, that is when he start being self aware. Ego is the enemy of self awareness. Why is that so? Ego makes you look through a tainted glass, and reality of you and the people you look at, is stained resp...

What/Where is God?

"Quest For God" by Swami Vivekananda O'ver hill and dale and mountain range, In temple, church, and mosque, In Vedas, Bible, Al Koran I had searched for Thee in vain. Like a child in the wildest forest lost I have cried and cried alone, "Where art Thou gone, my God, my love? The echo answered, "gone." And days and nights and years then passed A fire was in the brain, I knew not when day changed in night The heart seemed rent in twain. I laid me down on Ganges 's shore, Exposed to sun and rain; With burning tears I laid the dust And wailed with waters' roar. I called on all the holy names Of every clime and creed. "Show me the way, in mercy, ye Great ones who have reached the goal." Years then passed in bitter cry, Eacch moment seemed an age, Till one day midst my cries and groans Some one seemed calling me. A gentle soft and soothing voice That said 'my son' 'my son', That seemed to thrill in unison With all the chords o...

To my Mother

Heavens greet me in my mother's arms Blanketed in her tender love Moments of despise, blooms to rainbows so bright When she say “its alright, I will hold you tight” Strength is what she gifted me Love is what I gave her back Those quite nights when I wail in pain Her confidence poured with no constrain Her inspiration buds my aspiration Her life is the light I walk during those nights My eyes mirror her long seen dreams My heart breaths her song of love Oh ma! My heart breaths….your song of love....Happy Mothers day ma...

Trust is Non-Negotiable. Its There or its Not

I would like to use Maslow’s Hierarchy of Human Needs to assist me to set the background. After the basic physiological needs (breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis, excretion) the next most important human need is the sense of being safe. Humans derive the sense of safety from guarding their body, job, resources, morality, family, health and property. Then comes the role of being loved : my family, friends, and ofcourse sexual intimacy with the mate. The next most important role of “being”, is directly propotional to the the physiological, safety, and love/belonging needs. Esteem is very important to be successful in every phase of life let it be personal or professional. Esteem factor includes self-esteem, confidence, achievement, respect of others, and respect for others. Any disrupency in Physiological, safety or love/belonging need disrupts the Esteem factor This finally boils up to the Self-actualization stage, which includes morality, cretivity, spontaneity, problem ...

Knowledge

The purpose of this blog is to make myself aware of my thought process, to jot down my thoughts... I asked myself this question…How valid is, “what I know about what I think I know?” What is knowledge? Knowledge is the outcome of energy reaction on human brain. Knowledge is removing maya (ignorance, delusion, and sensory illusion) from the truth. I know that, it is not fair from my side to define one of the most disputed theories in the philosophical world in just few words. Epistemologists define their versions of “Knowledge” based on several theories, they believe holds true. Plato in his dialogue Theaetetus, describes Socrates's belief of what knowledge is. According to his theory, knowledge is justified as a true belief. In order to know that a given proposition is true one should believe in the "true proposition" and also have a good reasoning for this belief. I personally do not agree with this theory. I believe that beliefs change from person to person and so d...

Femininity & Divinity

The following is my theory on Femininity and Divine Energy which is inbuilt in every living and non-living object in the Universe. My understanding is evolved partly from Brahmanda Purana, and Siva Purana. Femininity: "Creation: Sustention: Destruction" Shakti is the hidden power that turns matter into life. She is the divine spark. She is the manifestation of Chitta Shakit = Eternal Awareness; Ananda Shakti = Eternal Bliss; Icha Shakti = Eternal Unification; Gyana Shakti = Eternal Knowledge; Kriya Shakti = Performance to reach Eternity (GOD/Energy). This power is the embodiment of several forms of “known” energies such as Electromagnetic energy, Kinetic energy, Heat, Light and Sound energy, etc. Energy in its true form is the energy required to create, the energy required to sustain and form balance in nature, the energy required to through the seeds of destruction – the combination and wholeness of various kinds of energies form Shakti. Feminine energy has the power to tra...

Aham Brahmasmi : I'm Brahmam

"I shall tell you of the soul. The soul is God -who is immortal and infinite, who has no beginning and will have no end, and who both exists and does not exist. Those who know the soul, are immortal. The soul dwells in every living being, and in every part of every living being; it dwells in the hand and the foot, the skull and the mouth, the eye and the ear. Although it does not itself have senses, it shines through every sense. It is completely independent, yet all beings depend on it. The soul is both near every living being, and far from every being. The soul is both inside and outside every living being. The soul is the cause of movement, but does not itself move. The soul is one, yet has innumerable forms. The soul creates, preserves, and destroys. The soul is the light of every light; and its light transcends the duality of brightness and darkness. The soul is the light of knowledge; and its light is also the goal of knowledge. In the soul the subject and object ...
