The Magic is Lost ~





I fill a desire & see the music lost!
.
I work day & night to fill my own stomach & the act of generosity is lost!
.
I get attracted to colorful dresses & wonder where is the intrinsic beauty of my soul lost!
.
I carve a place for myself in this existing caste system & see my human values lost!
.
I do nothing to stop these unending constuctions & see the lush green fields getting dissolved!
.
I earn just for myself & see my candle of kindness running all time low!
.
I hear millions affected daily by floods & draught, still my indifferent attitude finds nothing in it wrong!
.






But when i chant the name of my Lord, I experience my senses listening to my heart!
.
Life is not to be lived just like that, for it's every moment is not just the result of a toss!
.
I ought to give much more, if i want peace and satisfaction in my each and evey task!
.
I need to love all living entities much much more; howsoever i may have to work hard & hard!
.
Only then i can understand, how great people touch each other's heart!
.
How a monk had no regrets selling his ferrari, as his heart always urged for a higher cause!


Hare Krishna!!

♫ Music For Soul ♫

I've been reading the holy book, "Shrimad Bhagvad Gita" for quite a while.

The spark triggered in Duesseldorf where i had a lot of time for myself.

I guess the fondness could've also developed because of my birth at a place very near to the city Kurukshetra, the place where Lord Krishna delivered the divine message to the great warrior Arjun.

Though i feel it will take my soul so many cycles of births and deaths to fully understand and apply the holy message in real life, but one of its preachings has really enlightened my mind!

It says that for a peaceful living, one should avoid indulging in sense gratification initiated by our 5 senses ( hear, see, taste, smell and touch) and perform selfless tasks which our soul enjoys to the fullest.

I am trying to figure out if i have encountered any living entity on this universe displaying such a selfless panorama!

My dear blogging friends are heartily welcome to share such experiences in their precious lives! When the mesmerizing white beauty of the moon falls on the ground and brings peace to everyone on this earth!



    When Peacock opens up its feathers at the very first drop of a rain and dances to the holy tune from the heavens!




When a father hugs his daughter whose maiden name is about to be changed and remembers all the footprints permanently embedded in his heart !


When the sea tides fall on little children while they are busy making tiny sheds on wet sand; making them feel completely new, the one like never before!


When an old mother spends her hours remembering the childhood memories of the twinkle of her eyes, her children; even when her weak eyes can't open up fully to see how they look now!


!..............#..............!
When a fighting soldier overcomes his burning fears and a sense of achievement fills him through; as if it was the final countdown of his life!

.
.
It will be really heartening to read & feel all those great events which touched my friends' lives!
.
.
Ending this post with the lyrics of a bhajan, i had been reciting quite a lot these days:.
.
Krishna jinka naam hai, Gokul jinka dhaam hai,
.
Aese Shri Bhagwan ko, mera baram bar pranam hai!!.
.
Radha jinki shaya hai, adbhudh jinki maya hai,
.
Aese Shri Bhagwan ko, mera baram bar pranam hai!!
