Activist sends legal notice to PM for remarks on foreign funding of Kudankulam protests

what an action
what a reaction

where is the right action
where has gone the right to do right action

one japan was enough
why allow history to repeat with a rebuff

who has to guide the guides
should one wait for natures repeated chides

nuclear was a clean source
proved no more trust worthy in due course

why not update
why be obsolete

purusha prathibha పురుష ప్రతిభ

purusha prathibha పురుష ప్రతిభ

purusha prathibha

పురుష ప్రతిభ

విశ్వం , ఇది ఒక దృశ్య కావ్యం
వ్యక్తావ్యక్తల సంమిశ్రనం

కల్పనా వాస్తవికలతో సమ్మోహనం
ఇది నవరస భరితం , సకల కళా శోభితం

ప్రతిసన్నివేశం నవ నవోన్మేశం
క్షణం క్షణం జీవితం ఉత్కన్ట్ట జనితం

నేపథ్యం అరణ్య నదీ నద పర్వత సాగరమయం
ఆకాశ సూర్య చంద్ర తారా మండలాలతో అలంకృతం

వైవిధ్య వైరుధ్య విపరీతాలతో రీతి సవ్యతల సఖ్యం
ఇదొక జీవ నిర్జీవ ప్రతిమా నాటకం పురుష ప్రతిభా పాటవం

ఇందులో నీవొక ప్రేక్షకుడవే కాదు ఒక పాత్ర ధారివి కూడా
దాని సూత్ర ధారివి కూడా

నీ ఈ పాత్ర అతనిదొక చిరు అవతారం
జగన్నాటక సూత్ర దారివిగా ఎదగడానికి నీకిచ్చిన సదవకాశం

సాధించు రాణించు జయించు జగమేలు
మెలమెల్లగా చల్లగా తీయగా హాయిగా

the glory of supreme

universe is a visual poetic treat
a mix of visibles and invisibles, neat

full with 9 moods, bedecked with all arts
it is bewitching with fiction and facts

every scene ever a flow of novelty
moment to moment , suspence, a running commentary

back drop rich with jungles, rivers, rivulets, mountains, oceans
well beautified with sky sun moon stars galaxies

variety, contradictions ,odds in friendship with harmony and order
this is a drama with living and nonliving dolls, the glory of supreme designer

in this you are not only a spectator but also an actor,
and more its director

this your role is his a small incarnation
to enable you to grow into the stature of director of this drama of universe

accomplish, shine, win, and rule the universe
gradually, coolly, sweetly, blissfully

how to overcome hunger i teach, give me a roti

how to overcome hunger i teach, give me a roti


how to overcome hunger i will teach you, give me a roti,
said a great soul

this was a light joke from some elders--i enjoyed in child hood

but not at all a ridicule stuff

but if it is treated as a ridicule, it's reminicent of the harm perpetrated on our rishi sanskrithi,

by the aliens invading the country,

trampling , destroying and defacing the precious values,

education, enlightened approach , the culture the country developped and cherished, preserved thru ages, from ancient sanathana dharma

now by the grace of guru krupa,

i no more laugh at the apparent falacy of the above ,

i am able to see the statement in much more bigger perspective, broader sense and deeper significance, and more universality of its application

आहार-निद्रा-भय-मैथ� ��नं समानमेतत्पशुभिर्नराण ाम्
धर्मो हि तेषामधिको विशेषो धर्मेण हीनाः पशुभिः समानाः


food, sleep, fear and mating, these acts of humans are similar to animals' |
of them (humans), dharma (right conduct) is the only special thing, without dharma humans are also animals ||

yes, man thru learning how, thru guru krupa, raises himself from all the lintations of nature on all animals , thru sidhi sadhana

pathanjali maharishi has shown the way thru his sidhi suthras, in which one is the suthra which when practiced over time intensely , accomplishes the sidhi of over coming the hunger and thirst.

and it must be learnt under expert guru.

also all the above limitations can be overcome by appropriate sadhana in all its intricate detail it is not a thing to be read for information , much less entertainment

a young sanyasi under training to achieve the sidhi of overcoming hunger and thirst, ,with instructions from guru to be truthful , used to beg food as a tradition .

others ridiculed, but he did his sadhana, did learn the art and attain the mastery over them eventually.
but those who scoffed remained , to get the ridicule themselves for the foolish haste in concluding the above as falacy

this remains no more a falacy for us, if we understand a few situations more similarly
1 a sincere student takes loan, joins college, earns sholarship, comes out as a professional shows how one can become prosperous

2 a farmer begs for seeds, gets abundant yield, stands as anna datha

3 krishna takes broken rice from sudama, grants wealth

4 we offer naivedya and get the aishwarya in turn, god is not poor, not hungry

5 bank says put your savngs and earn interest

6 a seed has to be planted , to get the sweet friuts basketful

what is wrong in this?

should we ridicule?

or learn the subtle message that

KRUSHI THO NAASTHI DURBHIKSHAM...MEHNATH KA PHAL MEETTHAA HOTHA HAI

krushi, sadhana can transform one ordinary soul into a great rishi.

yes to acieve some thing one has to invest a little in the beginning, and reap the abundance of benefits

Who came first TIME or BRAHMAND GOD ?

Who came first TIME or BRAHMAND GOD ?

'Who came first TIME or BRAHMAND ? or GOD ?


since time=god, this q on who first is not valid

god=brahma+anda=brahmanda

brahma=nirakar, nirgun, unmanifest reality, non change, non visible to senses ,not peceivable by mind, not reachable by intellect, nor by feelings, it's an experiential reality, beyond the subtlest mind, a thing of direct experience, beyod description even thru best of abundant vocabulary or verbocity

anda= saakar, sagun, manifest reality, everchanging, visible to senses, perceivable to mind, reachable by intellect, by feelings, it's an obvious reality,within the range of mind, a thing of every day routine experience, can be described , discussed shared, debated, lived with all achievements and glories of limited 100 years, it is te whole universe visible around earth sun moon stars sky , trees beings and phenomena

hence
god= brahmanda=unmanifest+manifest

origin when=
now, at every moment it is getting created, getting manifested andgetting vanished the next moment, ever new ever fresh self renewing itself

origin which=
brahma is origin to anda , brahma the unified field the pure consciousness, the pure existence, originates the particle
fiels generates the partcle
particle grows , universe is formed grows and eventually becomes the field

the cycle repeats

What ever you be

What ever you be

 What ever you be

----- sanyasi, householder,student,

senior citizen, active careerist,

a writer, a professor, a singer, a dancer,

a celebrity, a politician, a social worker ,

an artist , a house wife, an aam aadmi ,

a street vendor, a crorepathi, an industrial magnate

a civil servant, a police officer,

or a professional in any field , and all

---you are a human being with mind and body ,

mind governing the body

saints have taught simple ways to take care of mind

if one follows he will rise

if one ignores for what ever reason

he will stay circling around the same track, efforts going into drain

our saints have said --be intelligent and lead a happy life

if this is understood things will be simple

Mortal remains teach

Mortal remains teach


Mortal remains teach one to strive to be immortal,
even in tears, to be in bliss unshaken, achal

come and go my pains
and my gains

my saddest moments
my happiest moments

i be seer,
seeing ever ,

my body covered from head to toe
going to the grave yard,

burning in flame
to turn into fistful ash

stone might be saying

stone might be saying


stone might be saying

what you have not heard

in hampi there are stone pillars sounding sa re ga ma pa dha ni by a hit
it is up to you to see sense feel bhagavan every where , at least a bit

in forms existing or in
forms created by you

guru shows how your utensils talk to you
how water in the tap says its announcement of coming

milk says you have put more heat when it spills over
by incidents of trampling, my temple god says to me,

why do you come here when you can do e seva e darshn
in your heart in your innernet

seer sees the unseen
converses in silence

non seer cannot see the seen
cannot hear the heard

what is meditation

what is meditation

what is meditation

It's a technique of experiencing progressively finer and finer levels of thought, reaching the finest and then going beyond even the finest, reaching a state of restful alertness without a thought.
best learnt from guru who guides enables checks verifies confirms explains all necessary detail in comprehensive most logical clear terms practically

i emphasize --it cannot be learnt without the help of a trained experienced good master.
it cannot be learnt in discussion here--

find your master yourself, explore experiment experience, discover and own this wisdom , practice it , derive the max benefits . good luck, thank you

spirituality in profession

spirituality in profession

spirituality in profession raises once perspective to such a high level , and blossoms one's creativity to such a high level , that he accomplishes the results without hangama, show, domination,talks, speeches, orders,overtakingness, jealousy, bias, fear, hatred, without throwing his weight around,----all doing in fact nothing, but accomplishments happen in visible results, by the environ he creates around him, he not working 24x7, not burning midnight oil, not striving for 3p ' pay perks promotions, padma awards or booker prizes or tv/video shows ,never striving to be most influential .
most of the time he remains unseen, doing his little things alone, but open to any who needs his help . he is not the player not even director, he is more just a scriptwriter, scribbling the bare sketches of future as per his fancy and seeing things happen without his involvement.
People around him are just happy souls enjoying the full confidence and approvals for what they contribute and are just busy in delivering the best possible to make worthy of presenting to the leader .
He never supervises nor controls, but his unit is self disciplined.
He is in fact a manager without limitations.
I am yet to see when our great iim ‘ iit ‘ s will raise such a crop of spiritually enlightened professionals, tho I happened to see a few eg ‘s in my profession around

In contrast , i see the present environ, including at the pm's post --people around with corruption money power favors publicity undisciplined under even imposed discipline .
i only wish that such leadership must rise.

and probably will rise

probably st plays a leading role

Brahman is

Brahman is

''Brahman is pure Being (sat), pure Consciousness (chit), and pure Bliss (ananda)''----excellent topic

but one can get the real import of this at least a small part of it only when --only when---one get the experience of it in his inside.

any elaboration of these are real guides to that journey forward , for real seeker to search a guru and to get into inside depths

my understanding i give in it language

brahman is the 3d empty space with origin 0,0,0
all having their own coordinates in xyz axes with different values , have reference to 000 and exist because space exists


brahman uww universe wide web
gods are likegoogle yahoo etc
home page is isthadevatha for eg google
each has tremendous powers mahima
each is in the uww that is highly interconnected web .the basis for all google etc
man is like pc having potential to become powerful--if only connected with internet
guru is ip
once ip gives the connection to the innernet, all the search engines can be opened and their powers to provide answers to fulfill our desires instantly i made possible pc becomes powerful like that a man connected with his innernet has the access to his internal wealth

But shankara spake thus

But shankara spake thus

But shankara spake thus

Ghato vaa mrithir pando apyaraunubhi cha dhoomogni rachala
Pato vaa thanthurva pariharathi kim ghorasamanam
Vridha kantakshebham vahasi tharasa tharka vachasa
Padhambhojam shmbhor bhaja parama soukhyam vrijasudhi.

This is the pot, no, this is only mud,
This is the earth, no , it is only atom,
This is the smoke, no, it is only fire,
This is the cloth, no , it is only the thread,
Can all this debate ever cure the cruel God of death?
Vainly you give pain to your throat,
By these torrent of words,

Instead worship the lotus like feet of Shambu,
Oh , intelligent one, and attain supreme happiness.

what do you say

Wisdom =knowledge+intelligence

Wisdom =knowledge+intelligence

Wisdom
=knowledge+intelligence
=ability to see understand appreciate evaluate differentiate integrate adopt adapt evolve , when applied in life , thought talk walk become aligned perfectly with laws of nature producing a result life supporting in all aspects with immediate long term benefits, taking the individual higher in the ladder individually, and society collectively, with joy emanating abundantly in every step one takes, never losing sight of the goal of life

guru is one which/who delivers

guru is one which/who delivers

guru is one which/who delivers instantly self realization

it can be any one or any thing,

explore, experiment, experience discover and own that skill of reaching the state of self realization

practice it sincerely,

you will surely enter in to a new world

ever charming, ever new, immensely useful, helpful, elevating, fulfilling

do not discount my typing this --i am fully aware what i am typing,

in no emotion/bhakthi/hysteria/mania/illusion/delusion

/estimation/ imagination/hope/ambition/trust/belief

but it is fact of life , real, ground reality, scientific rational practical.

question your self you got it or not ,proof of pudding in the eating.

so if you got then you found a guru

if not

you met a lesser teacher

you may call fake or deceit cheat magician,

then continue your quest

here you do not fake/ cheat yourself saying that you did enough and not found one

if you did not find one, it means you did not do your work .

it does not mean guru does not exist

choice is for you not by any out side

you get as per your intensity of search not by chance not by fate.

let me see what you will do with these few words.

seeing science

seeing science


seeing science technology thru spiritual insights---- seeing religion spirituality thru scientific insights---- gaining superior comprehension on both views

I get the best

I get the best


I get the best shortest brief precise and overall understanding on life universe god gods veda science technology -----all thru practice of maharishi's transcendental mediation and knowledge of science of creative intelligence.
makes me skip all such great discoveries of modern science, which is still in the elementary stage despite with all its tremendous advancements accomplished in every field.
if it has to accelerate its pace, the the best scientists have to experience pure consciousness at least once in life time for a fraction of a second .
it makes all the difference.
how long to be floating and playing on the surface, and waves surfing and swimming when gems can be reached by diving deep within

puja koti samam stotram

puja koti samam stotram

puja koti samam stotram stotra koti samo japah
japa koti samam dhyaanam dhyanakoti samolayah

(krishna arjuna samvade - uttara gita - mahabharat)

In a conversation of krishna and arjun,krishna said - the result that
we get by performing karodo pujas is equal to performing of 1 stotra,
similarly karod stotras is equal to 1 japa,karod japas is equal to
1 dhyaan and karodo dhyaan is equal to 1 mano layah.

Purnamadah purnamidam

Purnamadah purnamidam

Purnamadah purnamidam ----hence is the conclusion-- that there is no imperfection

this is a very important point which can change our vision

to seeing the ----already present --------ever present-----peace harmony rythme balance all around ---meant for--- conducive for growth and transformation for growth glory n grace. .....

my point is our vision makes all the difference.
the seer sees perfection and order beauty in -----every little insignificant aspect in the universe --perceivable by the senses and perceivable--by the intellectual mind-- and sees divinity all pervading absolutely abundantly, in the sight smell taste touch sound.

for eg

every sound ---is heard as melodious as ----the best raagas sung by the great sangeeth pandit

in every picture or sight around ----he sees the beauty--equal to that existing in the works of picasso or ajantha

in his every movement he finds the grace of classical dance, mudras, and delicate expressions.

there is no need of search or research nor wait or fight, the destination is in every single step as there is no distance nor time--




i perceived beauty in your blog and pursued it long

Theek hai. .... Bandhuo. .....Pranam

i am just enjoying it by enlarging its scope content --not to just argue but to enable readers to see a little more


Every thing is valuable in the universe including the slippers dead body , live beings , trees animals, inert matter
shankara saw beauty and order in the white teeth of a dead dog
the dead bodies are eaten up as valuable nourishment by ants vermin birds bacteria to live life.
nothing is waste
god is in various forms and phenomena
things are ok every where ever

shall we conclude then that desiring..demanding..lacking mind see imperfection all around...evolved..blissful contented mind enjoy perfection in each creation of His...

Creativity and intelligence

Creativity and intelligence


Creativity and intelligence

Though we may seem to be overflowing with creativity.
but

it must flow / meant to flow in the right channels


vikruthi and vikruth chesta is to be bypassed.

or else we will be stuck /misled missing the real target moksha

on the way we may encounter countless wonders ,

But we must cut across all these time waster obstacles ,

take the one right royal road, and reach the target earliest in life

by preserving every moment ,every breath, every impulse of energy

and direct them most judiciously in the best of infinite alternatives.

i go in the purest path certified followed successfully recommended by great souls.

we should never fall for small attractions on the way

So kindly bear with me if i do not relish the entertaining interesting creative discoveries possible in manipulating the

original forms in all possible thousands of ways.

Be krishna then you will act like krishna

Be krishna then you will act like krishna

Be krishna then you will act like krishna
so as long as you be as x y z , self interest counts to to eat anything to live
later all dharma adharma discussion and digest it well til you are hungry again
in hunger burning , men have eaten cloth/wood when trapped in a locked in room, no talk there dhama etc

in life we are trapped in the room of this body and necessarily to think of survival first
but some are fortunate , they can come out and reach better stuff in a life of freedom.

Nalam va paramopakaraka midham tvevam pasoonam pathe,
Pasyan kukshigathan charachara ganan bahyastithan rakshithum,
Sarvamarthya palayanoushadha mathijwalakaram bheekaram,
Nikshiptham garalam na gilitham nodgeerna meva tvaya.
Oh lord of all beings,
Is not your one and only one great help sufficient?
For with a view to give protection,
To those beings which are movable and immovable,
And which are placed inside thine belly,
And also to those who are placed outside,
The ultra fire producing and fearful herbal poison,
Which makes all the devas flee in fright,
Has been stopped by you in your neck itself.
It is neither swallowed nor spit out!
32
Jwalogra ssakalamaraathi bhayada kshvela kadam vaa twaya,
Drushta kincha kare dhrutha karathale kim pakwa jambu phalam,
Jihwayam nihitascha siddha gutika vaa kanta dese bhrutha,
Kim the neela mani vibooshana mayam shambho mahatman vada.
How was the fierce flame like poison
Which made, all the courageous devas fear,
Seen by you , my Lord?
Was that fire carried in your hand,
Did it appear like the fully ripe plum fruit to you?
Was it not kept on your tongue,
Did it appear as pills from the Siddha doctor?
Was it not worn in your neck,
Did it appear like a blue gem ornament to you?
Oh , Shmabhu the great one , be pleased to tell.
33
Naalam vaa sakrudeva bhavatha sseva nathirva nuthi,

Swaminnasthira devathanusranaayasena kim labhyathe,
Kaa vaa mukthi ritha kutho bhavathi chetha kim prarthaneeyam thada
Is it not sufficient oh, God of Gods,
For attaining liberation for people like me-,
To do either service to you, Salutations to you,
Singing about you, Worshipping you,
Meditating on you, hearing your stories,
Or seeing you once .
What other liberation is there at all?
If I can attain liberation by these,
What else should I wish for?
What would I get by getting tired,
By following other unstable gods?
34
Kim broomasthwa sahasam pasupathe kasyasthi Shanbho bhava-
Dairye chedasa –mathmana stithi –riyam chanyai kadaham labhyathe
Brasyaddeva ganam trasan muni ganam nasyat prapancham layam
Pasyan nirbhaya eka eva viharathyananda sandhro bhavan.
Who can ever estimate thine valour, Pasupathe?
Who has the courage that you have, Oh Shambhu?
How can any one else attain thine state of mind?
While all devas loose their stability,
While all the crowd of sages tremble,
When the world is destroyed.
At the end of all-the great deluge,
You in solitude , fearlessly carry on thine play,
In intense rapture and pleasure.
35
Yoga Kshema durandarasya sakalaashraya –pradodhyogini,

Engaged in gathering and preservation,
And giving of all the good things in life,
Teacher great of the known and the unknown,
Who has spread within and without,
Knower of all that is to be known,
And doer of all possible mercies,
What is there for me to tell you?
I daily think in my mind,
That you are very close to my mind,
And you are doer of god to me. Oh Lord Shambhu.

Shiva Manasa Pooja

The Shiva manasa pooja by Sri Adi Shankaracharya is a unique stotra. It in in the form of a prayer by a devotee who imagines in his mind all the offerings and rituals prescribed in a pooja and offers them to lord Shiva with faith and devotion. This stotra is an eye opener to those who are fanatic about rituals as it clearly shows that faith and intentions are more important!
Ratnaih kalpitamaasanam himajalaih snaanam cha divyaambaram

I have imagined a throne of precious stones for you, cool water for you to bathe in, divine robes adorned with many jewels, sandalwood paste mixed with musk to anoint your body, jasmine and champaka flowers and bilva leaves, rare incense, and a shining flame. Accept all these which I have imagined in my heart for you, o merciful God.

Sweet rice in a golden bowl inlaid with the nine jewels, the five kinds of food made from milk and curd, bananas, vegetables, sweet water scented with camphor, and betel leaves – I have prepared all these in my mind with devotion. O lord, please accept them.

A canopy, two yak-tail whisks, a fan and a spotless mirror, a viinaa, kettledrums, a mridangA and a great drum, songs and dancing, full prostrations, and many kinds of hymns – all this I offer you in my imagination. O almighty lord, accept this as my worship of you.

You are my self; Paarvatii is my reason. My five praanaas are your attendants, my body is your house, and all the pleasures of my senses are objects to use for your worship. My sleep is your state of samaadhii. Wherever I walk I am walking around you, everything I say is in praise of you, everything I do is in devotion to you, o benevolent lord!
