Mandala - Limitless Cricle

Mandala is an archetypal image whose occurrence is attested throughout the ages. It signifies the wholeness of the self. As quoted by 

- C.G.Jung

I being a creative person by nature see wholeness and happiness, in all the creative things and nature. I always had a great urge and belongingness to learn this beautiful art form. If one sees a minute designs of this art form it has a lot of things to say.

I believe each person's life is like a Mandala - a vast, limitless circle. We stand in the centre of our own circle, and everything we see, hear and thinks forms the mandala of our life. What lies behind us, what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.

If you see Sun, it is also in the form of a mandala a Circle. It starts with a promise of new beginnings. Every time a Sunsets, it lives behind luminous colours. Those colours are the suns promise for a new day to come. Every individual should learn this nature of giving something in return for whatever we have been blessed with abundance and lead life with gratitude.

Each one of us should be grateful for every ray of the sunrise, as it means that we have another day to make a positive difference for the people around us and to yourself. Start each day with a positive intention of leading life in a positive manner with spreading rays of hope and love around us. 

Our life keeps going around similar to this Mandalas, with various relations, people, promises, which we keep meeting again and again. Start each day with positive intention and send out only love in the future. And all should live life with inspiration and gratitude. 

As we are all ready to ring the bells and welcome New Year, let's make a promise to ourselves - "  Let's take care of our physical body to allow the spiritual self to blossom and flourish.  And extract all the sweetness in life, without filling our life with any harmful substance. And make the choice to lead a life with love and harmony... 

Happy New Year 2020 🌠⭐🌷💐🎂

Intezaar

Baat ek raat ke thi

Ek raat woh gaye thi baat rokke

Abhi thak wohi ruka hun

Raat rok ke

Sanam tere Intezaar mein

Wohi Zidd, wohi hasrat,

Na dard-e-dil mein koi kami huyi

Ajeeb hai mere mohabbat,

Na mil saki na khatam huyi

Sanam tere Intezaar mein

Yaad hai hamhe woh phele baarish

Jab bheege thi hum dono

Kudarat bhi jhum utta tha

hamara pyaar dekh kar,

Kasam hai tumhe un bundo ka

Ab tho aa jaa sanam,

Khade hai tere Intezaar main

Un dino bhi intezaar karya tune,

Itne mashruf thi, apne sahelion ke saath

Aaj phir mele itne arson bad,

Laga intezaar khatam huva mera

Kismat mere zalim,

Dekhaya Tujhe kisi aur ke saath

Mann bana leya hai humne

Kabhi ayenge nahi tere samne

Phir dekh kudrat ka khel sanam

Milaya kyun hamhe phir se ek baar

Tu kisi aur ki, mein kisi aur ka

Laga tu muhje bhool gaye

Laga khisa khatam huva hamare pyaar ka

Tere woh ek nazar kafi tha,

Jisne jataya mera pyaar tha abhi wohi

Ab jab mele, nazar chahti hai didar karna

Dil chatha hai pyaar karna,

Kya batayien iss dil ka aalam,

Shayad hamare pyaar ke

Naseb mein lekha hai

Bas Intezaar karna !

A Tiny White Dot

A tiny white dot. Seeing the title you must be thinking what is that I am talking about.  Well, I happened to come across this beautiful picture seen above. That small tiny white dot. It's our planet "Earth",  which is seen from Saturn ring. One of the iconic photograph taken by Voyager spacecraft from the vicinity of Saturn ring.

Our planet Earth existing from millions and millions of years now. Seeing that small white dot, I felt where do we stand. They say 7.6 million people live on this small tiny white dot. We have seen so many civilisations, dynasties, emperors, great rulers, scholars on this planet. All our great kings who wanted to win the universe were fighting for this small particle of dust in the Universe.

But strangely, the residents of this planet have individual egos bigger than the Universe.  Seeing the picture I personally started thinking we humans at times become so much greedy and forget our own roots and start thinking about self-pride, dignity, and start living with society based norms. Doesn't even think about what we want, what is right.

Now we have reached a level where we have taken our mother Earth for a troll. What not happening, the very major disaster global warming.  Our own planet which has always accepted us with open arms, now we are in the rage to take it totally for granted and destroying it. What have we left to our future generations, just nothing?

The air we breathe is no longer safe. We use an air purifier at home. Malnutrition is increasing. Adulteration in food taking human health for a toss. We humans are in the race to get a tag of developed countries. In that race mercy lessly cutting the trees.  Polluting our surrounding with garbage waste, contaminating our oceans with garbage and plastic which is affecting our marine life. What not, the list never ends.

Let's all come together and put an end to all this disastrous and make a significant remark in saving our mother earth and make that small white tiny dot shine for many more generations to come. 👍🙂

Soul Connect

Many times we all have come across this heavy word people keep talking about soulmate concept.  For example - Soul mates, Soul sister etc. Even I think at times, does this concept really exist. YES, it is. I am sure we all have come across this phenomena. When we meet somebody, at times we immediately get so well connected to each other as if we know them from ages. I have experienced this many times.

Let's put some more light into it. I had read that there are essentially four types of soul mates we encounter in our life. Not necessarily that all soulmate relationship that you encounter have to be romantic in nature. Some enter your life to teach us, to heal, to forgive. These will help us to grow in more ways than one. Here you go with 4  types of soulmates - 

1.  Healing Soulmates -

We have many people who inspire in there own way. From friends to colleagues. Some people come in our life just to "heal" us. Whoever we meet is there to help us grow. They arrive with the intention to provide you with the life lesson. These healing soulmates show up in one's life with divine timing. They know exactly what we need to learn and how they have to teach us. A healing soulmate exists in your life as long as the purpose aligned and the lesson is still unlearned.

2. Karmic Soulmates -

We all are bound by the bonds that are beyond our understanding and knowledge. Some people we meet in our life are connected with us through a past life. These connections are deep and karmic in nature. And these relationships are more often not so painful in nature.  What most people don't know is the fact that karmic soulmates have twinlike a connection. In some cases, they can even feel each other's emotions.

3. Past Life Soulmates -

More often than, might not be the people you meet in this lifetime may be connected with you from a past life. They might have been a lover or soulmate in your past life, and now they are back in this lifetime. You will feel the instant connection and more often that relationship is not that easy. You might feel that the person you met, you know them for a very long time. This kind of relationship will likely last for a longer time. You will not hide or keep any secret from this type of person. Past life soulmates help us to shape in to being a better human being. 

4. Twin Flames Soulmates -

It is a known fact that twin flames work together to overcome emotional and spiritual barriers. This connection is such that they can talk for hours at a stretch without running out of things to say. From thinking alike to finishing each other sentences, twin flames soulmates do things naturally as a pair. When you meet the twin flames you naturally experience a sense of completeness, that wasn't experienced before.

So after reading this have a look into your relationship around and find out have you come across anybody who stands in any of the above categories. 😃👍

Life Love Food

As we all know food is the most integral part of life. It is the very first basic need for all of us. Today I will tell you what is the importance of food according to me.

From my childhood, I have been a great foodie. In my college days, I use to cook evening snack on the weekend. In those days Maggie was very famous. A hot bowl of Maggie noodles in hand and watching Doordarshan channel. We used to not think about whether it's good or bad or junk or unhealthy. All these were thousand km far away from our mind.

Later after joining job I hardly used to get time to cook.  But that craving for cooking never got less. After marriage, I started cooking and trying my hands in different cuisine.  Being creative by nature whatever food I used to taste and find it tasty I used to try it at home. And 98% times my first attempted cooked food used to be a hit.

We have a cook at home who help me in my daily cooking chores. And I cook fresh food all three times in a day with varieties. I never get bored of cooking. I learnt north Indian and Chinese cuisines from our cook. Its been 10 years now as we know him. He has become an integral part of the family. From morning till night he is on his toes working in different houses as a cook. I have never seen him tired.  Always active.

I believe food cooked with a pure heart and love always tastes best no matter if it's simple daal and rice. I remember my mom used to tell us how my grandmother used to cook. My granny was the most religious lady I have ever seen. Cooking for her family was like the greatest ritual for her. As per Hindu tradition, she used to first offer the food cooked for Agni (fire God) then to animals and birds. Even my mom used to offer first cooked food to birds. She used to call me or my younger sister and tell us to keep it to birds. I too try my best to inculcate this in my son. At times I give him roti to offer it to cow on his way to school.

After my son was born my cooking took to a different level. He is a big foodie and wants variety. I started baking cakes and muffins. Many times I have baked in early morning hours and packed cupcake to R school for his school x-mas party. His whole class kids enjoyed my cupcakes. His class teacher used to send a thanking note as all kids enjoyed my cupcakes. The level of satisfaction, I get in cooking food and feeding people can't get it from anything. Being vegetarian I totally believe and enjoy satvik food. As we have heard what you eat is what you are. Food plays a vital role in developing once personality.

R loves sambar idly dosa chutney, noodles to parathas. Nowadays he has started loving Mexican and Italian food. He just can't stop eating his favourite white sauce pasta made by me, so am I. I prepare white sauce at home and cook it in a healthy way. Without using outside mayonnaise etc. After all only cooking food and feeding people is not enough. It should be healthy, tasty, and people should remember that very first bite.

From few days I have been handling kitchen alone as our cook is unwell and has gone to his native. it's nothing less than a marathon for me in the morning cooking food and packing it for the family. Food has to be tasty as well healthy with variety. Once I get free from work I sit and think why we work hard so much and earn money to eat a nice healthy food cooked by love and care. So that the entire day tiredness vanishes.

Nowadays I see this online food delivery service who deliver food at your doorstep. I keep thinking about how I still enjoy and cherish food cooked by my mom with so much love and affection. Seeing nowadays trend will the future kids remember what is the signature dish of their mom. I doubt. They will remember the restaurant's name.  Let's not make food as only an eating ritual because we need to survive. It has a much higher value in life. As we say in Hindu tradition before we start eating food - Annadata Sukhibhava. 😇🙏 it is a prayer we offer to the people who strive so hard and make this food grains reach to us Let thy be always content and blessed.

Now tell me what is your views on this and how much importance you give to food. 🙂

Being Eternal - Nandi

As we all know that in Indian mythology all our gods and goddess have an animal representing to them. Lord Ganesha has Rat, Lord Karthikeyan has Peacock, Lord Shiva has Nandi. Have you ever observed the quality of Nandi? It sit so graciously facing opposite to Shivling. We all have seen this whenever we have visited lord Shivji temple.  Here I have come up with qualities of Nandi.

Whenever I have visited lord Shivji temple I have always observed Nandi statue facing to the Shivling.They say Nandi is a symbolism of eternal waiting because waiting is considered as greatest virtues in Indian culture. 

One who knows how to sit and wait patiently is naturally meditative.  Likewise, Nandi is not expecting lord shiva to come out tomorrow. He is not expecting or anticipating anything. He is just waiting. Likewise, before you go to a temple, have the quality of Nandi - you simply sit. You don't think of going to heaven, you not getting anything. You just simply sit and meditate thanking God for giving this wonderful life. Pray without expectations.

Usually, people have always misunderstood meditation as some kind of activity. No, it is quality. A time when you sit with yourself just observing your breathing. What is the difference between prayer and mediation -
Prayer means you are trying to talk to God.  Meditation means you are willing to listen to God. You are willing to just listen to this existence. To the ultimate nature of creation.

You have nothing to say, just simply sit and listen. That is the quality of Nandi. He just sits, and be alert. Being alert is important, not sleepy. Nandi not sitting in a passive way. He is sitting very active, full of alertness, full of life. But just sitting. That is meditation.

Likewise one should get this quality of Nandi in one's life for own betterment, harmony, peace.  One should cultivate this habit of sitting doing nothing which is called meditation. When we meditate they say our ancestors who are in another sphere of the journey they get moksha by we doing meditation. And they bless us.

So simple things and have a greater meaning in life. Which we often ignore, due to lack of knowledge. Hence it's best to be in knowledge. 

Swatantrata

What does Independence mean to you as an individual or as a society. As India celebrated its 73rd Independence.

As an individual for me " True Independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right. From the beginning I always believe in this. One should not do things or try to be happy or compromising for others. Because Independence can come only with freedom. Its our life and we should lead it as per our terms but keeping in mind that people around us are not getting hurt. When you do right there is no chance of lying to anybody or to be answerable for others nor to hurt others feelings.

Crystal clear thinking which makes life more easy and hassle-free. It helps us to maintain a healthy relationship with everybody around us. At end of the day you feel happy realising that i had a nice lovely day in keeping people happy whomever who came in contact of me. 

I just admire this wonderful quote by Albert Einstein :- "Everything that is really great and inspiring  is created by an individual who can labour in freedom."

Now living in a society how one can expect independence and freedom. This is still a myth. According to me the most unpardonable sin in our society is Independence of thought.  People have sticked to some old ideology and misconceptions so much that they don't believe in freedom of thought. As far as I know "society values cooperation over Independence, obedience over individuality and niceness above all else".

To keep pleasing people all the time. Think and act according to others wish.  Even after attaining Independence of 73 years, we are taking a tortoise steps in opening our views and thoughts. Once someone raise there voice of freedom, equality, and Independency. Society, community, people around you will start becoming judgemental to you.

Though one has become aware of his thoughts views and ideologies but its getting refrain because of few people in society who thinks being Independent in ones own thoughts, actions is a myth. We can't change people mindset and thinking. But one who is in knowledge is always free from of all this.  Nothing can avoid them in doing what is right.

It is believed that - "If we don't get rid of yesterday  by talking about it all the time, atleast we can get rid of its effects by moving forward". And try educating people with freedom of thought liberating from old ideologies. Taking them towards turning inwards seeing what they want- Is the real Independence. 

Easy To Look Cool

Recently I came across a very beautiful picture as above. seeing it lot many thoughts started jumping in my mind. 

I have seen many a times where people keep ordering work. Not even thinking of opposite person have been loaded by work without having a break. Some people love themself so much they forget that they staying in a place where every individual have to be treated equally. Even they need equal amont of rest. 

You take any field for that matter. At your work place at home everywhere it has become a common phenomenon. One person always on there toes. Rest of them enjoying there so called "ME" time. 

From my childhood my mother has taught me and my sister to value and to be greatfull of whatever we have been given in life. Everyday we used to lead life in gratitude.

In my early college days i always used to watch construction workers . They slog day and night and build our dream home. After complition of work people go royally and start staying in the house. Have we ever thanked them. People come see and praise our home. We look cool feel happy and pride because of these workers day and night hardwork.

From that point when this thought arised in my mind i had thought whenever we  construct our dream home I will thank these workers with lot of gratitude. And YES we did the same way when our dream house was ready. we made a point to thank each and every person who made it look THE BEST. By whatever help we could do at our best.

So never overlook, ignore or take people for granted and keep yourself  look cool. Who gave you happiness, support, help, love when you had need them the most. Live every second , every day with lots of gratitude.

So get up look out if you come across anybody who are in need of your help. Inspire people around you and make your life more meaningful. When you give more you get in abundance. That is the Law Of Nature. 🌱🌿🍁

The Sunflower

Sunflower or Surajmukhi - Seeing the flower itself give so much freshness and feel so vibrant. Flower which always change its position towards the sun. Rather say  "Chasing the light". I am fortunate enough to see the beauty of early morning sun rise  through my balcony, I feel a sense of calmness and hope in life. Those beautiful colours amidst the clouds. The birds creeping  sound which adds music in life.Now coming to the flower I just admire it's belongingness with the sun. Though they both are so far from eachother yet stay so connected.

So now the question is what happens on a cloudy and rainy days ? Do they weither ? Will they turn down towards ground ? No not at all.  Well the answer is extremely awesome... They turn towards eachother to share their energy . 🌻🌻 Their is so much perfection and belongingness in nature and it's so amazing isn't it. 

Well if we humans try adopting this amazing lesson from nature how peaceful, loving our life would be. There would be so much harmony in every relation. Now let's apply this reflection in our life and seek the light in different ways - with our family, friends, work and so on. 

So now we also have cloudy and gloomy days, by which we cannot escape from them. When this happens, most of the people become so depressed, overwhelmed, low spirited, zero energy. Let's follow the example of beautiful Sunflower - Supporting and empowering each other. 

Let's make everyday with lots of hopes , blessings coming our way. Let's not sit and crib for small little things which didn't happen as we want ,rather celebrate every new day with a new hope of achieving things which we always wanted to do. Every new day comes with new hope , ambition, goodness, a fresh start.

Wishing everyone with a Sun Flower 🌻 traits of turning towards each other on their - gloomy and cloudy days. And to spread goodness around everyone as it always comes back to you 😇🌻🌻 

Intuition

What is intuition ? Right thought at the right time. We all have Intuition. The sixth sense. We all have experienced this in our life sometime or other. Some incident occur suddenly and we would have thought that just before a second. 

How will it be if we start using this amazing sense or train our brain in such a way that we can be aware before or avoid any such unforseen things taking place? 

Now adays especially kids are getting bombared with so called technology world. They are becoming more hyper, so much competition all over in each and every field. At times due to lack of parents guidance they are not able to analyse what is good and what is bad for them.

Few months back my 5 year old son attended  a two days workshop in "Art of Living".  Which is called IP course. Intuition Program. It's a half a day course age starting from 5-7 and senior level :- 8-16. So my son was in junior batch. I had heard about this amazing program. Was badly waiting my son to turn 5 😄 

In his summer vacation he attended this Intuition program and after his course I would say it has been a turning point in is life. A best summer vacation gift for him by us. He being extremely spritual and super active in all his day to day activities. we were finding some means to chanalise his energy in a appropriate way. And this course made it happen. After the course everyday is Miracle for us. Now he has become more aware, subtle, calm there is a stillness in him now.  And yes "Zero Screen Time". At home nobody on the television until my son goes to sleep. So its my job to keep him busy from the time he gets up in the morning until he goes to bed. And trust me this habit work wonders on kids. He is still naughty, but that's how a kid should be right 😄

After the course kids should do there practice at home regularly without missing a single day for a given period of days mentioned in the course, which is thought to them during there two days workshop. And has to be continued  even later as well and inculcate as there daily routine. Intuition process kindles the sensitivity in childrens where they are able to understand others intuitively. Kids with regular practice can read, write, identify pictures, shapes, through blind folded. They are able to download different languages which they have never even heard about it or seen.  which is not even seen or written in recent times. Even R does it at home after his practice. And I keep getting shock in every blind bold of his. Thinking how ??😄 But these kids are choosen by the master. (Guruji). And they getting knowledge from there Guru. And we as parents are blessed with having kids like them in life . 

With regular practice kids become so intuitive that they will be able to understand what is right and wrong for them. We have listened to stories where kids have saved lifes. People have got there stolen things back. Kids with just closing eyes and identifying things like GPS. This is the power of this course. It is also a boon for physically challenged and kids with zero vision. The results after this course is just unbelievable and magical. Children's who are born blind by birth are able to name the Colors, shape's, identify pictures , languages, which they have not even seen. Our body works with signals given by our brain right ? This amazing process train our brain to think correct, act before, and stay safe. 

This Intuition Program is designed by my beloved master - Sri Sri Ravishankar (Guruji) we call them out of love. This course has been conducted across globe by AOL teacher's 365 days. This program acts as a revolution in the education system. Kids excelling unimaginable after being part of this Intuition Program..

This course empower your child with:-

• Sharpen perception and intuition.
• More clarity in mind and awareness.
• Improve learning and leadership skills.
• Freedom from fear of unkown.

Every child should be gifted by this amazing knowledge. 

Right now leading life in total bliss. With everyday miracles, surprises. Life has become magical and happier. Thanking our beloved Gurudev, for choosing our kid and giving this knowledge.

Jai Gurudev 💕

The Rough Book

Recently I came across very beautiful lines, it just touched me so much, thought of writing about it.

"In a school bag, the Rough Book will have the worst condition because it bears the load and responsibilities of all other subjects.

Only because of the presence of Rough Book
Fair Books of all subjects are found very neat and tidy, well maintained and decorated.

==================================

In our family who takes the load of the entire house, like say from morning till night on their toes. For me, it's my mom. From childhood,d I am seeing my mom working 20 hours a day nonstop tirelessly with a smile twinkling on her face always. Her day starts at early morning at 4.30 am, cooking, cleaning, making us ready, she was a teacher later became a professor. Working for 8 hours a day, return back from school make us fresh and give us evening snacks, again she used to sit for tuition. Even after so many years, her routine is the same. Getting up early morning, cooking, after retiring too she takes tuition. Teaching is her passion. She forgets all her pain misery being with her students.

As I started growing up I used to see her and think whether I could able to do at least half of it. I used to ask her, mom how you do all this. U don't get tired. She used to just give a smile and say I am doing this for my kids and family with a lot of love, as you all are my world. How can one be so selfless, determined, never complaining?

In our family also have we ever thought of saying thank you or showing gratitude to that person who carries all our responsibilities, keep us first and keep themselves last. We all are busy. Never bothered to know about them. Because of the presence of one rough book, we all are enjoying at our convenience. Hats Off to this rough book.

Who is the rough book in your family? Have you ever acknowledged their presence? please do it before the rough book gets over?

With lots of gratitude, love, respect, thanking God for giving me this wonderful person in my life, with the blessing of becoming your daughter.  I will make sure you will not be a Rough book. You are our inspiration. Can't imagine our life without you.
Love you, Mumma. Thank you for everything.......

Naari - Celebrating Life

The very first thought - how do you define a woman? She is classy, emotional, loveable, responsible, Independent, caring, affectionate, worth, pretty, joyful, courageous, inspirational, the list never ends. 

She plays a lot of roles:-

·         You can feel her INNOCENCE in the form of a daughter

·         You can feel her CARE in the form of a sister

·         You can feel her WARMTH in the form of a friend

·         You can feel her PASSION in the form of a beloved

·         You can feel her DEDICATION in the form of a wife

·         You can feel her DIVINITY in the form of a mother

·         You can feel her BLESSINGS in the form of a grandmother

You wanna keep your girl? Respect her, Love her, Care for her, make sure she knows how you feel about her. Never lie to her. Truly powerful women don’t explain why they want respect, they simply don’t get engaged with those who don’t give it to them.  The true beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul. A charming woman doesn’t follow the crowd, she is herself.. A woman looks at a challenge in the eye and gives it a wink…. Women not only love Diamonds, but they are strong like them 😍 Never ever mistake her silence sign of weakness, Remember that sometimes air stills, before the onset of a hurricane.

Strong women aren’t simply born, we are forged through the challenges of life. With each challenge, we grow mentally and emotionally. We move forward with our head high and the strength that cannot be denied. Be a woman who can be so strong so they can be gentle. So educated, so they can be humble. Be a girl with a mind, a women with an attitude a lady with class….

Every girl and every woman has the potential to make this world a better place, and that Potential lies in the act of thinking higher thoughts and feeling deeper things. When women n girls everywhere, began to see themselves as more than their inanimate objects, but as beautiful beings capable of deep feeling and high thoughts, this has the capacity to create change all around

“Live every day as a celebration. Thanking God for creating us. The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more in life to celebrate”…
