 in the aam aadmi way, aravind kejriwal said ''i do not need security, god is there to take care of me'' this is amid the vip culture of a to z security


i saw a report on tv, that there is a village chenchupalli, varangal ap, in which the houses have no doors, no thefts, even when they go out for days omonths to neibouring villages,

there is nothing we have to get stolen'' they say, and there are no police too


i found another episode in this link on another  doorless village


Undiscovered Indian Treasures: Shani Shinganapur: A Lockless village where God is Guardian

Shani Shinganapur: A Lockless village where God is Guardian

quote

''In the modern times where, together with the technology advances,

crimes too become more sophisticated and the concerns for more and more security measures gains priority,

is it possible to imagine a place where people live in harmony in no-door-no-locks-houses ?

It may seem unbelievable but as a matter of fact, true!

There is indeed a tiny hamlet where houses and other buildings like shops have no doors,

and that place is in the country of countless legends and myths – India.

In Shani Shingnapur village, people live in houses with no doors for generations!

Here one can find only curtains (that is also rare) in the place of doors.

The only temporary guard is barriers – that too to keep off stray animals.

Here villagers get to their daily routines without bothering about their house’s security or fear of thieves.

For them, everything is dedicated to the Lord Shani.

The belief is, whoever steals anything from this place will incur the wrath of Shani God and will have to pay for his/her sins very dearly.

When Shani Shingnapur natives go outside their village, they don’t ask their neighbors to keep vigil on their house & belongings.

There is no Police station in this village too. They have no role here! ''

TAKING NO SECURITY IS A POLITICAL DRAMA...NOTHING ELSE........

GOING BY METRO OR PUBLIC TRANSPORT COUNTS HEAVY ON THE PUBLIC THAN TAKING SECURITY......

ONE SHOULD ACCEPT THE POSITION AND SHOULD ACT ACORDING TO NEED......REPLY  Like (1) Report Offensive Block this user

Agreed sir, as long it is based on requirement, it is ok

and it is desirable too,

but within reasonable limits, but definitely not for show off the status, and distancing from people who gave them that position

there is no justification for vvip augsta helicopters with crores spent, while woman , who needs some care is left to her fate,REPLYDELETE  Like

Finally it is one's own purity that protects , not the arranged security with the best of weapons

Maharishi-''a science is a systematic investigation by means of repeatable experiment to gain useful and testable knowledge

but

The traditional definitions taught to us 

a branch of knowledge or

 study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws: the mathematical sciences.

systematic  knowledge of the physical or material  world gained through observation and ;experimentation.

any of the branches  of natural or physical science.

systematized knowledge in general.

knowledge, as of facts or principles; ;knowledge gained by  systematic study.


In these definitions science is defined as body of knowledge , as if , it's a frozen finality , and one has to simply know it, ie mug it up and and become ''scientist''--the most injustice done to the word science 


if you apply to spirituality--it again says a knowledge that is already made known ---and makes us to face a dead end 


where as maharishi has made it clear as---a systematic investigation'' --meaning that there is a lot more to go, knowing more and more, that is how science is advancing, not standing still.

applying this to spirituality, 

knowing is a process, it is a seeing process, a rishi aspect, seeing deeper and deeper aspects , discovering unending laws of nature .thus opening a vast vista to boundless ocean of knowledge .

so the defining science more completely, more precisely makes the journey unblocked by already known things , man is free to explore more, newer avenues

Do not Get DETACHED from the comments 


---the comments serve the most useful feed back on performance, 
and to know the value of one's output, 
and help in upgrading one's knowledge, one's performance , 
to be able create and deliver more and more worthy better products 
thus to reach a level of godly perfection in the routine. 

readers are mirrors to point out all the angles of view 
one has missed inadvertently , in haste, or deliberately, 
thus contribute a fuller vision of the message 
one wants to contribute to enrich himself and enrich the world , 
and to inspire more and more people to create ever new visions of the possibilities

Shivananda Lahari by Adi Sankaracharya


[Waves of the Bliss of Shiva]
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
This is one of the greatest poetic prayer couched in an undercurrent of practical philosophy by Sri.Adhi Sankara Bhagawat pada. Unlike Soundrya Lahari, this stotra does not seem to have tantric implication. It is more simpler and enriched with several alankaras (Figure of Speech). Any one reading this and understanding it would definitely become a richer man-rich because of the peace, steadfast mind and knowledge of God and Philosophy he gains.

Prayer to the teacher

Imkara hrimkara rahasya yuktha
Srimkara gudartha Maha vibhoothya
Om kara marma prathi paadinibhyam,
Namo nama Sri Guru Padukabyam
I bow before the wooden slippers of my teacher,
Who taught me the meaning of “OM”,
Which is the inner meaning of the sound “Srim”,
Being a holy combination of the sounds “Im” and “Hrim”

.
Shivananda Lahari
1
Kalabhyam choodalankrutha sasi kalabhyam nija thapa
Phalabhyam bhaktheshu prakatitha phalabhyam bhavathu me
Shivabham sthoka thri bhuvana shivabhyam hridhi punar
Bhavaabhyam ananda sphura dhanubhavabhyam natheeriyam
Let my salutations be dedicated ,
To those who are dedicated to art,,
To them who wear the moon in their head,
To them who are the personification of mutual penance,
To them who teach devotees about the results of penance,
To them who grant only good to the three worlds,
To them whose every memory becomes newer and newer,
To them who are supremely happy due to their great knowledge,
And to the result of mystic union of Shiva and Shakthi.
2
Galanthi shambho twacharitha saritha khilbhisharajo
Dganthi dho kulya saranishu pathanthi vijayatham
Dhisanthi samsara bhramana parthapopa samanam,
Vasanthi machedho hrid bhavathi Shivananda Lahari.
Oh Lord Shambu who grants us happiness,
Let these waves of ecstasy Of Lord Shiva,
Flowing from the holy history of yours,
Calming the dusts of sin for ever,
Rushing from the canals of wisdom,
Falling in to the whirl pool of life,
Dousing the fires of sorrow,
Living in my hearts as senses,
Be always victorious.
3
Vrayi vedhyam tripura hara madhyam thrinayanam,
Jata bharodharam chala dhoora gaharam mriga dharma
Mahadevam devam mayi sadhata bhavam pasu pathim,
Chidalambam sambham shiva mathi vidambam hridhi bhaje
I pray with all my heart,
Him who is known by the three Vedas,
Him who is pleasant to the mind,
Him who destroyed the three cities,
Him who is first among every thing,
Him who has all seeing three eyes,
Him who carries the weight of matted lock,
With eminence great,
Him who wears the moving snake as necklace,
Him who holds the jumping deer in his hand,
Him who is greatest among devas,
Him who shines with glitter,
Him who has mercy on me,
Him who is the lord of all beings,
Him who is the only support to holy wisdom,
Him who is always with my Goddess,
And Him who is a great entertainer.
4
Sahasram varthanthe jagathi vibhutha kshudra phalada
Na manye swapne vaa thadanusaranam that krutha phalam
Hari brahmadeenamapi nikata bhaja masulabham
Chiram yache shambho shiva thava padombhoja bhajanam
Thousands of Gods abound,
Offering trifling gifts to them who pray,
And never even in my dreams would I pray.
Or request gifts from them.
To Shiva who is close to Vishnu, Brahma and other Gods,
But who is difficult for them to near,
I would beseech and beg always,
For his lotus like feet.
5
Smruthou shasthre vaidhye shakuna kavitha gana phanithou
Puranee manthre vaa sthuthi natana hasyeshwa chatura
Kadham ragman preethirbhavathi mayi koo aham pasu pathe
Pasum maam sarvagna pradhitha kripaya palaya vibho
Ignoramus I am in the science of law,
In the science of life,
In the art of medicine,
In interpretation of events,
In the art of poems and song,
In the difficult tomes of arty grammer,
In the holy books of yore,
In the psalms of Vedas.
In singing about your great deeds,
In the art of dance and in art of comedy,
And so how can I get favour of Kings?
Oh Lord of all beings,
Oh all knowing one,
Of most famous one,
And Oh , all pervading one,
Tell me who am I?
And be pleased to protect me ,
Showering on me your sea of mercy.

Sri swamini , pranamamyaham

thava suprabhathamaravindalochane


this line'' āyuḥ kāmārtha-siddhaye'' in the first sloka of ganesh in essence ,

beyond the localized nama roopa mahima is the universal potential of statement


''chethana sarva sidhi pradayini''

ie creative intelligence is the field of all possibilities

ie is the clue on How to excel at work, how to accomplish easily , how to overcome obstacles

making every thing possible

so for one who is accessing this field it is just a play


for him

possible is all

అంతా సాధ్యమే


హిమాలయమును ఇంటికి పిలిపించుకోవచ్చు

ఇంటి కంభమునకు కట్టి పడవేయ వచ్చు

అంతా సాధ్యమే


possible is to summon the himalaya, to home

possible is to chain it away, to pillar inside a room

possible is to actualize every dream


is it a conjucture, or truth?

it's nothing but truth!


creative intelligence is the field of all possibilities

experience it, live its abilities


for one most most simple is most difficult, impossible

for some one else, all is most simple


one is an utter failure

other is a success in every endevour


jayosthu, vijayosthu, sakala sidhi prapthirasthu

are the words of god blessing , shubhamasthu!


it's the know how of do howyogastha kuru karmani, not some how


a great way of doing things

complete willingness to do


total involvement in doing

in team with the might of almighty


collecting,consolidating and impinging

abundant rays of consciousness


each quantum of output, a masterpiece,

a classic,a marvel,a supreme show piece


saturated with the qualities of,that master craftsman,

the perfect creator, the mysterious magicianREPLYDELETE  Like

This line

''Whosoever chants/repeats these twelve names at -------dawn, noon, and dusk, ----will never have fear of obstacles, and would always achieve whatever s/he wants (dharma-aviruddha kāma).''


suggests again simply a thrikala sandhya , beyond the specifics of devatha

1. Trikala Sandhya is not simple.


2. Whether to keep it beyond the specifics of devata, depends on the person/devotee.


3. Allow people the freedom to relate to Isvara in their own way.REPLY  Like (1) Report Offensive Block this user

Kindly tolerate and do caution me if i am going against the stream of the blog theme, i am just sharing my raw perceptions , being new to veda


1 i found Trikala Sandhya is very simple by guru initiating


2 yes, on the particular level of rishi who cognized , the suktha, devatha, chandas and described and hence prescribed, truth is universal and total, but each cognition / suktha has the localization specific to that seer at that time, and will be a bit less than universal

hence agree,


3 it's a valuable caution , since every individual has the inevitable /unavoidable local specifics so will surely need a precise way most suitable to his setup in time and geo thanks,REPLYDELETE  Like

Sri swaminiji, thanks for the first and the last caution


sincerely,

Kara charana krutham vaak kayajam karmajam vaa,

Vihithamavihitham vaa sarva methath Kshamaswa,

The fundamental essential for a fruitful relation is the firm connection soul to soul


relations can be between any---
wife husband,
mother father,
sister brother,
teacher student,
blogger reader,
leader cadre,
woman man
human animal
human nature
and
human universe

if the connection is lacking, or is slacking,
then that relation is foul ,unfair, failure ,
the consequences will be unpleasant, if not utterly disastrous

 Nirvana satkam is on ''na'' ie ''not , no, not this,'' negating, discarding the visual manifest, and moving inward, to the core of being , beyond the subtlest, 



where as, as if a contrast, 
chamakam is on ''cha'', ie ''and ,not only, also, all, this and that '' accepting, acknowledging, all that is existing in its varied forms and phenoina, and moving outward, to the all layers of existing , including the grossest 

namo bhavāya cha rudrāya cha
namaḥ śarvāya cha paśupataye cha
namo nīlagrīvāya cha śitikaṇṭhāya cha
namaḥ kapardine cha vyuptakeshāya cha
namaḥ sahasrākṣāya cha śatadhanvane cha
namo girīśāya cha śipiviṣṭāya cha

Prostration to the one who is the most dear (pleasant), to the one who is the most dreaded terroriser (frightening).
Prostration to the one who kills living beings with arrows, to the Lord (benefactor) of all living beings.
Prostration to the blue-necked one (disfigured (discoloured) naturally), to the one with whitened throat (throat smeared with Bhasma (ash); disfigured (discoloured) artificially).
Prostration to the wearer of matted tangled locks of hair, to him of shaven beard.
Prostration to him of a thousand eyes (view from one point to everywhere), to him who has the capability of hundred bowmen (view from everywhere to one point - concentration of the view from all directions).[9][10]
Prostration to the Lord of mountains (conjoint into a mass), and to him who is all pervasive (disjoint and diffusing everywhere).
