Meditation

The best form of meditation sometimes happens when you sit in a train with absolutely nothing to do. You just sit there but you don't think consciously of meditating, and in doing so you slip into a state
of meditation. Therefore meditation does not need to be a practice. Just be there and wait to fall into
it. Once you really start to be in touch with the inside, an emptiness comes upon you. Meditation then
happens by itself.

Does Life need managers?

Did you decide to be born? It's life's evolutionary process that you are born,whether you accept it or not.
Are you going to decide when you die? And are you going to decide how your process of death will be?
It will happen when it happens, whether you like it or not.
Now if your birth and death happen without your will why do you think that everything in between can be managed by.
Life does not need managers. Life needs creatures who live it.
So, think again and again " I am not the doer" and be happy

Rhythm - A note from Dad the Great

Dad the Great is no more in this  material world now. He left this world on 28-05-2012. at Jamshedpur.
Following is the note written by him on`19-2-2008
Life cycle is based basically on rhythm. Right from morning to evening we like machine work in rhythm..
Marriage, children and death ,every thing  happens in rhythm.
We remember the departed soul in rhythm and we forget him in rhythm
So, Rhythm in life cycle is  a whole human life.

Nag & Nandi

   NAG
---------
Entwind around the blue neck of Lord Shiva,the cobra sybolize hypnotic spell and meditative trance of this ascetic God. A Nag with three coils symbolize "Trikal"- the past ,present and future. It is extra ordinary in Indian mythology that the serpent symbolize time. Creation is time dependent.. But Lord transcends time.
Nag's looking towards right side symbolize approval to human activities based on knowledge, reasoning and logic. Lord's eternal laws preserve orders in the universe.

NANDI
---------
is both "Vrisha" and " Bull  ". When 'Vrisha', it symbolize ignorance, humility and selfless service. The bull however best symbolizes 'Kama'. He has controlled the desire. Bull is a symbol of both masculinity and fertility. No Shiva temple is comlete without an idol of Nandi. If ever any thing happense not conducive to liking of his swami, he takes no time to show the aggressiveness and power of a bull which is to be controlled then by the master ( Lord Shiva ) himself.

The Universe bows to Shiva & Shiva bows to His companions- Cobra & Bull -- Nag & Nandi
