Kamakhya Shaktipeeth is considered one of the most eminent Shaktipeeth of of Mata Sati. Kamakhya Shaktipeeth is situated in Kamakhya on Nilanchal hill in Kamgiri area. This comes in Guwahati district of Assam. There is popular belief related to the formation of the Shaktipeeths. 



Shaktipeeth Establishment Story

Once king Daksha organised a Yajna and invited all the Gods in that but did not invited Lord Shiva.When Devi Sati came to know that her father is organising a Yajna she asked Lord Shiva to permit her to attend the Yajna. Lord Shiva tried to explain her that going anywhere without invitation brings dishonor but on much insistence of Mata Sati he permitted her to go.

King Daksha was perplexed to see Mata Sati come uninvited and insulted her and her husband. Devi Sati felt her husbands insult intolerable and jumped and killed herself in the Yajna pyre.

When this news came to Lord Shiva, he came and destroyed the Yajna, took out the body of Mata from the fire, kept it on his shoulders and started roaming in all around the universe. The partly burned body of Mata Sati started falling on the grounds and all the places where it fell became the Shaktipeeths.

The vaginal part of Mata Sati fell at this place so this part of Mata Sati is worshipped at this place. This is why taking photos inside the temple is strictly prohibited.

In addition, Devi remains in Rajaswala position when Ambuvachi Yoga forms once in a year for three days. During this period of three days the doors automatically closes and opens on fourth day. After his a special puja is performed and then the Mata can be viewed and worshiped.

The three days when the doors of Mata Kamakhya temple remains closed is of great importance for the scholars of divine and Mantra powers. This place is also called the Kaumari Tirth(pilgrimage) of this world. During these three days the Tantric meditators from all over the world come here and try to gain the best level of Tantric powers.

Here Mata Sati is called Kamakhya and Bhairav is called Umanand.


kamakhya Temple Importance


The place where Kamakhya temple is situated is also called Kamrup. In the 51 Shaktipeeths, Kamakhya Shakipeeth is also called Mahapeeth. There is a cave in this temple the way to which is very rocky and is called Narkasur Path. There is grand idol of Mata in the middle portion of the temple. There is also a Kund(pond) at this place which is called Saubhagya Kund.

The people believes that offering red stole or cloth fulfills all the wishes of the devotee.
Place to Learn Tantric and Hidden Powers

Along side being the Devi Shaktipeeth Kamakhya is also a place to learn Tantric and hidden powers. During the Rajaswala period of Mata, powerful Tantrics, Aghoris, Hath Yogis and Naga Babas gather here in large. After the end of Rajaswala a spesial puja of Mata is performed. During this Mahakumbh the sages starts thronging this place in large from a week ago.

For Tantric powers, some of these these sages and Tantrics stand in the water, some sit in the water and some stand on one leg and perform meditation.

Pardesi

Tum Nehi Ho Mere Saath

Phir Bhi Har Dum Mere Saath Ho

Meri Banzar Sukhi Viraan Si Zameen

Meri Kadmon Tale Har Waqt Shaash Leti Hain

Woh Chupke Se Meri Badan Ki Bojh Utahti Hain

Tum Ajao Kavi Daabe Pair, Main Hoon Tumhari Intezar Mein

Meri Duniya Ki Sukun Ko Tum, Haan Tum Meri Barsat Ho

Meri Charon Taraf Bahut Sare Nazarein Hain

Jo Apni Khusi Se Haar Din Nayi Rang Badalti Hain

Lekin Meri Nigahein Tumhari Nazar Ki Pyassi Hain

Jab Asmaan Mein Kuch Badal Garaj Ke

Mujhe Bekhud Banake Chale Jaate Hain

Tab Shayed Tumhari Desh Mein Jhoom Ke Baarish Hoti Hain

Meri Nayan Bhi Kuch Rangin Khowabon Ki Chahat Mein Hain

Kya Tum Aao Ge Kavi Woh Sapno Ki Saugat Leke ?

Ajao Khudah Ke Liyeh Tum  Meri Armaano Ki Barat Ho

Ek Saya Sa Hain  Mere Saath Jo Tanhai Mein Samne Aate Hain

Aur Jab Main Chalti Hoon Duniya Ki Bazar Mein

Toh Woh Har Ek Chehre Mein Apni Chhap Chhor Jate Hain

Shayed Isiliyeh Har Ek Shaqsh Mein Main Tumhe Dhundti Raheti Hoon

Mere Dil Ki Khalipan Ki Dastan Main Khamoshi Se Sunati Hoon

Kya Tumne Kavi Suna Hain Meri Kahani Kisise Aise Hi ?

Kaash Kisi Din Tumse Meri Ek Laambi Si Mulaqat Ho

Agar Tum Na Aana Chaho Toh Mat Aao Aye Mere Pardesi

Lekin Meri Tarap Meri Aah Meri Intezaar Ki Kuch Toh Kadar Karoge Na

Main Janti Hoon Shayed Tum Aab Mere Nehi Ho

Tum Kisi Aur Ki Bahon Mein Apni Raat Gujarte Ho

Kavi Kavi Sochti Hoon Kyun Tumse Aaj Bhi Main Pyar Karti Hoon

Yeh Mohabbat Toh Meri Haseen Kuch Palon Ki Dard Bhari Paigam Hain

Phir Sochti Hoon Woh Har Ek Lamha Kuch Murjhaye Huye Kaaton Ke Jaise

Meri Sine Mein Har Din Chubhti  Lahu Se Range Khoobsurat Si Gulab Hain

Jo Na Koi Cheen Sake Mujhse Kavi Tum Meri Woh Anmol Daulat Ho

Tum Kaha Ho Pardesi? Tum Kahan Ho

Unlock The Mind

                                                                                                                                                                   

 Hypnotherapy 

Hypnotherapy is a wonderful healing art and offers a great method of reaching goals, motivating oneself, as well as eliminating many problems. Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy as terms are often used interchangeably. There are several methods of hypnosis, and these include stage hypnosis for entertainment purposes; Self Hypnosis, which is a form of inducing yourself to hypnotized state and offering yourself suggestions; guided meditation, which is essentially the same thing as hypnosis, but generally taught or led in groups; and lastly hypnotherapy, which is using hypnosis to bring about a change or therapeutic benefit.

The late Charles Tebbetts, a famous hypnotherapist in Seattle, defined hypnosis as, "All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, and the power is in the mind of the person being hypnotized." I think very much this is a true statement, as the power is in you to induce changes. Thoughts often turn into action, then snowball into results. Proper thoughts will only lead to proper action, leading to proper results.

Hypnotherapy basically consists of someone guiding your thoughts, ideas, beliefs and then you are lead into a trance like state, offering you thoughts that you wish to follow. This trance like state is like a focused concentration, such as when you feel enthralled in fascination by something. Others may describe it as somewhat like a "blanking out", just as when you drive a long distance on a long stretch of highway. 

Roy Hunter, a well known hypnotherapist in the Pacific Northwest, states that hypnosis is basically a form of "guided meditation". Once you are into this state, the hypnotherapist guides you into a deepened state and offers you a suggestion to your subconscious mind. It is natural for the human mind to focus concentration such that one is able to access and control the subconscious. These 3 steps are the major key to hypnotherapy. Once these are done, repeated sessions may assist in anchoring a suggestion in the subject. One might think that basically hypnosis is a method of uploading new programs in to the mind.

Many of the modern disciplines and forms of alternative medicine are derived from hypnosis. NLP, psychotherapy, sports psychology, life coaching, advertising, communication all use hypnosis principles to bring about a change. Many self-help books all employ hypnosis methods. Even many of the Tibetan vajrayana and yogic practices make use of similar techniques to bring about changes to the mind.

One can't be hypnotized against their will, or be made to do some foolish things like jumping up and down and quacking like a duck as most Hollywood movies and television shows would have you believe. The hypnotically induced state is relaxing and comfortable.

I have creatively combined acupuncture and hypnotherapy to treat certain patients and have experienced great success in depression, anxiety, weight loss and smoking, as well as reaching goals. My "Acuhypnotherapy" is a great development in combining these 2 different but useful arts. Basically in my method, I use the acupuncture to induce the trance state, then offer indirect or direct deepening methods, followed by the implanting of a suggestion. For example, if a person want to lose weight, I interview them as to their goals, plan, and steps to reach their goal, have the entire goal time bound and simply plant all the steps that will lead a person to success. Once known, these are written down to coincide with the patient's beliefs and goals. I then induce them by inserting needles into certain points while they are lying down relaxed, then allow them to rest briefly. I may test the level of the trance or use methods to deepen the mental focus, then simply repeat to the patient what they were wanting to overcome or change.

Properly done, hypnotherapy can benefit one in bringing about changes in behavior, anxiety, eliminate poor habits, problem solve, overcome strong negative emotions, bring about healing to the body, control pain, and deal with substance abuse. The list can be endless, as many problems of the body begin in the mind.

If you're seriously considering hypnotherapy, do so with a person that you have rapport with and check for their qualifications through certification. Many life coaches, psychotherapists, MFT's, psychologists, and psychiatrists have some experience with hypnotherapy or can refer you to a reputable one.

Devi Sharada

                                                                                                         




In Hinduism Saraswati, is the goddess of knowledge, music, arts and science. She is the consort of Brahma, also revered as His Shakti.

The name Saraswati came from "saras" (meaning "flow") and "wati" (meaning "she who has ..."). "she who has flow" or can mean sara meaning "essence" and swa meaning "self". So, Saraswati is symbol of knowledge; its flow (or growth) is like a river and knowledge is supremely alluring, like a beautiful woman. She is depicted as beautiful fair Goddess with Four arms, wearing spotless white saree and seated on white lotus. She is also known as "Sharada", "Vani" and "Vagdevi" (both meaning "speech").


IN ABROAD 



Saraswati, known as Sraosha in Zoroastrianism is the guardian of earth. Sraosha (“obedience”) is also the wife and messenger of Ahura Mazda, and her role as the "Teacher of Daena", Daena being the hypostasis of both "Conscience" and "Religion". She also guides the souls of the deceased to find their way to the afterlife. Her symbolic animal is the cock, whose crowing calls the pious to their religious duties. She is also called Druga for fighting off Drug (Drug, the name for female demon in ancient Veda, from the Sanskrit root druh "to be hostile"). The name Druga is made of Sanskrit dru or dur "with difficulty" and gā or jā ("come", "go"). Saraswati is known as a guardian deity in Buddhism who upholds the teachings of Gautama Buddha by offering protection and assistance to practitioners. She is known in Burmese as Thurathadi ( pronounced [θùja̰ðədì] or [θùɹa̰ðədì]) or Tipitaka Medaw (pronounced [tḭpḭtəka̰ mɛ̀dɔ̀]), Chinese as Biàncáitiān (辯才天), in Thai as Surasawadee (สุรัสวดี) and in Japanese as Benzaiten (弁才天/弁財天). In the East Indian states of Bihar, West Bengal, Orissa: Saraswati is considered to be a daughter of Durga along with her sister Lakshmi and her brothers Ganesha and Karthikeya.


Eulogy on Sarasvati

The Dancing Wall !

                                                                             
The Legendary "Lost City of Machu Picchu" is with out a doubt the most important tourist attraction in Peru and one of the world's most impressive archaeological sites. Built by the Incas on the summit of "Machu Picchu" (Old Peak), overlooking the deep canyon of the Urubamba river in a semi-tropical area 75 miles from the city of Cusco at 7,000 feet above sea level.



 Machu Picchu is also one of the Inca's best kept secrets, since they did not leave written records
and Spanish chronicles make no mention of the citadel, it remains a mystery. Discovered on in 1911 by the American Yale Professor Hiram Bingham. The building style is "late imperial Inca" thought to have been a sanctuary or temple inhabited by high priests and the "Virgins of the Sun" (chosen women). Excavations revealed that of the 135 skeletons found, 109 were women. No signs of post-Conquest occupation were unearthed.



The original entrance to the complex is on the southwestern side of the citadel at the end of the Inca Trail, a short walk away from "Intipunko" (Sun Gate) the ancient final check point to Machu Picchu. The present entrance on the southeastern side leads to the agricultural section.


The complex can be divided in three distinctly section: Agricultural, urban, and religious. The agricultural area consists of a series of terraces and irrigation channels that serve dual purpose, as cultivation platform- making it self sustained -, and as retention walls to avoid erosion. Some smaller buildings next to large terraces are part of this section and thought to have served as lookout posts.
The urban section starts at "the wall" that separates it from the agricultural area, this group of buildings were constructed on the ridge that descends abruptly to the Urubamba Valley. In the southern part of this section is found a series of niches carved on rock known as "the jail" with elements that include man size niches, stone rings would have served to hold the prisoner's arms, and underground dungeons. The group of refined structures next to the "the jail" is known as "the intellectuals' quarters", with tall walls, nooks, and windows built with reddish stone are considered to have been accommodations for the Amautas (high ranked teachers). One of the buildings has several circular holes carved on the rock floor named the "mortar room" believed to have been used for preparation of dyes.


The largest urban section in Machu Picchu, located on the north western part, is reached by a 67 steps staircase and involves a group of buildings not as finely constructed as other parts of the complex.
The central plaza that separates the religious from the urban section, has a great rock in the center. The religious section contains splendid architecture and masonry work, one of the most important and enigmatic is probably the Intihuatana shrine, this block of granite was presumably used to make astronomical observations.
Descending the hill next to this site is the Great Central Temple, a three walled building with fine stonework and an attached smaller temple called the "Sacristy". Next to this structure is another three walled building, known as the Temple of the Three Windows, so called because of the trapezoidal openings on the east wall. Directly across is the Royal sector, with ample buildings typical of Inca royalty. A very important structure is this section is the "Temple of the Sun", a circular tower with the best stonework of Machu Piccho. Its Recent studies show that the actual purpose was for astronomical observance.

OM

                                                                                  


"The goal which all the Vedas declare, which all austerities aim at, and which men desire when they lead the life of continence … is Om. This syllable Om is indeed Brahman. Whosoever knows this syllable obtains all that he desires. This is the best support; this is the highest support. Whosoever knows this support is adored in the world of Brahma."
~ Katha Upanishad I



Om or Aum is of paramount importance in Hinduism. This symbol (as seen in the image on the right) is a sacred syllable representing Brahman, the impersonal Absolute of Hinduism — omnipotent, omnipresent, and the source of all manifest existence. Brahman, in itself, is incomprehensible; so a symbol becomes mandatory to help us realize the Unknowable. Om, therefore, represents both the unmanifest (nirguna) and manifest (saguna) aspects of God. That is why it is called pranava, to mean that it pervades life and runs through our prana or breath.


Om in Daily Life
Although Om symbolizes the most profound concepts of Hindu belief, it is in use daily. The Hindus begin their day or any work or a journey by uttering Om. The sacred symbol is often found at the head of letters, at the beginning of examination papers and so on. Many Hindus, as an expression of spiritual perfection, wear the sign of Om as a pendant. This symbol is enshrined in every Hindu temple premise or in some form or another on family shrines.


It is interesting to note that a newly born child is ushered into the world with this holy sign. After birth, the child is ritually cleansed and the sacred syllable Om is written on its tongue with honey. Thus right at the time of birth the syllable Om is initiated into the life of a Hindu and ever remains with him as the symbol of piety. Om is also a popular symbol used in contemporary body art and tattoos.


The Eternal Syllable
According to the Mandukya Upanishad, "Om is the one eternal syllable of which all that exists is but the development. The past, the present, and the future are all included in this one sound, and all that exists beyond the three forms of time is also implied in it".


The Music of Om
Om is not a word but rather an intonation, which, like music, transcends the barriers of age, race, culture and even species. It is made up of three Sanskrit letters, aa, au and ma which, when combined together, make the sound Aum or Om. It is believed to be the basic sound of the world and to contain all other sounds. It is a mantra or prayer in itself. If repeated with the correct intonation, it can resonate throughout the body so that the sound penetrates to the centre of one's being, the atman or soul.


There is harmony, peace and bliss in this simple but deeply philosophical sound. By vibrating the sacred syllable Om, the supreme combination of letters, if one thinks of the Ultimate Personality of Godhead and quits his body, he will certainly reach the highest state of "stateless" eternity, states the Bhagavad Gita.

The Vision of Om
Om provides a dualistic viewpoint. On one hand, it projects the mind beyond the immediate to what is abstract and inexpressible. On the other hand, it makes the absolute more tangible and comprehensive. It encompasses all potentialities and possibilities; it is everything that was, is, or can yet be. It is omnipotent and likewise remains undefined.


The Power of Om
During meditation, when we chant Om, we create within ourselves a vibration that attunes sympathy with the cosmic vibration and we start thinking universally. The momentary silence between each chant becomes palpable. Mind moves between the opposites of sound and silence until, at last, it ceases the sound. In the silence, the single thought—Om—is quenched; there is no thought. This is the state of trance, where the mind and the intellect are transcended as the individual self merges with the Infinite Self in the pious moment of realization. It is a moment when the petty worldly affairs are lost in the desire for the universal. Such is the immeasurable power of Om.

Bengali Ghazals

                                                                                   
                                                                                
Like the pantoum, the ghazal arose in another language (in this case, Urdu) and has recently come to life in English despite the difficulties of technical translation. A ghazal is a short lyric poem composed of a series of about 5 to 15 couplets, each of which stands independently on its own as a poetic thought, but is linked through a rhyme scheme established in both lines of the first couplet and continued in the 2nd line of each following pair of lines. The meter is not strictly determined, but the lines of the couplets must be of equal length. Themes usually are connected to romantic love and longing, and the closing signature couplet often includes the poet’s name or an allusion to it.

Emperor Of Literature

                                                                                                                                  

Bankim Chandra Chatterjee was born on 26th June 1838 at the village of Kathalpara, near Naihati, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal of Jadabchandra Chatterjee & Durgadevi. Son of a deputy collector, he grew up to join civil service as the deputy magistrate and deputy collector of the district of Jessore as soon a he completed his law degree from Presidency college Calcutta in 1857.

He was a member of an illustrious family, his brother being Sanjib Ch. Chatterjee the famous nature writer and the author of "Palamou". Bengalis, for the 1st time got the taste of a real novel in the pre-Tagore era through Chatterjee. In 1864 his first novel in English, Rajmohon's wife started appearing on weekly basis in the Education Gazette. But somehow it was found missing the charm of the language. His Bengali novel, which he had already started writing in 1863, was soon published. "Durgesh Nandini" as it was called created a sensation in the Bengali literary arena. "Kopal Kundala" followed this in 1866, which was inspired by his rencontre with a 'kapalik' or a sadhu who believes in the worship of 'Shakti' while he was in Negua. In 1869, his 3rd novel 'Mrinalini' was published & the readers for the 1st time found the flavour of patriotism in his creations.


In 1872 he took over as the editor of the prestigious magazine Bangadarshan. In 1873 two new novels "Bishbriksha" and "Indira" were published which totally dealt with social problems. His next novel was "Jugalangurio" published in 1874. In 1880 while acting as the temporary PA of the commissioner of Burdwan, "Chandrashekher" and "Radharani" were published. "Rajani" followed these in 1877 and "Kirishnakanter will" in 1878. In 1882 his eleventh novel "Rajsingha" based on the royal families of Marwar came in the market. His most famous novel "Anandamath" was also published this year. "Anandamath" is termed, as his most political novel which was a source of inspiration to the patriots fighting for the freedom of their motherland.

The chant "Vande Mataram" which later was adopted by the patriots as their slogan in the fight for freedom was coined in this novel. In late 1882 when he was transferred to Judgepur Orissa he started writing his thirteenth novel "Devi Choudhurani". It was published in 1884. The last novel he wrote was "Sitaram", published in 1887. Not only did he write novels, he was also one of the most effective columnists. His collection of essays like " Lok Rahashya " and " Kamalakanter Daptar" criticized the meaningless Bengali customs in a manner that forced an immediate change.

The British Government honoured him with the title "Ray Bahadur" in 1892. He became a CIE in 1894.The great novelist passed away on 8th April 1894.

      Translation by Sri Aurobindo 

Mother, I bow to thee! 
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
bright with orchard gleams,
Cool with thy winds of delight,
Dark fields waving Mother of might,
Mother free.

Glory of moonlight dreams,
Over thy branches and lordly streams,
Clad in thy blossoming trees,
Mother, giver of ease
Laughing low and sweet!
Mother I kiss thy feet,
Speaker sweet and low!
Mother, to thee I bow.

Who hath said thou art weak in thy lands
When the sword flesh out in the seventy million hands
And seventy million voices roar
Thy dreadful name from shore to shore?
With many strengths who art mighty and stored,
To thee I call Mother and Lord!
Though who savest, arise and save!
To her I cry who ever her foeman drove
Back from plain and Sea
And shook herself free.

Thou art wisdom, thou art law,
Thou art heart, our soul, our breath
Though art love divine, the awe
In our hearts that conquers death.
Thine the strength that nervs the arm,
Thine the beauty, thine the charm.
Every image made divine
In our temples is but thine.

Thou art Durga, Lady and Queen,
With her hands that strike and her
swords of sheen,
Thou art Lakshmi lotus-throned,
And the Muse a hundred-toned,
Pure and perfect without peer,
Mother lend thine ear,
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
Bright with thy orchard gleems,
Dark of hue O candid-fair

In thy soul, with jewelled hair
And thy glorious smile divine,
Lovilest of all earthly lands,
Showering wealth from well-stored hands!
Mother, mother mine!
Mother sweet, I bow to thee,
Mother great and free!

Saat Rang Mein Roz Jeeti Hoon

Abb Aathwan Rang Mein Nahana Chahti Hoon

Bahut Pyassi Hoon Main Apni Mauj Mein

Abb Tere Ishq-e-Sailab Mein Bahena Chahti Hoon

Hona Chahti Hoon Main Madhose

Bharke Bahon Mein Mujhe Tu Meri Urra De Hosh

Pyassi Laab Meri Bhigay Teri  Shabnam Mein

Tere Khussbu Se Bhar Jaye Meri Jism-e-Gulposh

Tanha Tanha Yeh Naina Kaajrare

Tu Aake Meri Kismaat Saware

Jo Na Dekh Paoun Main Khuli Nazron Se Kavi

Chum Ke Meri Aakhon Mein Bhar De Woh Bemisaal Nazarein

Meri Bahein Tujh Ko Hi Pukare

Tu Kyun Na Samjhe Meri Ishare

Yeh Manzar Yeh Khali Khali Rahein

Aur Yeh Jiya Jite Hain Teri Aahon Ke Saharein

Tu na Jaane Kyun Yeh Dil Raheti Hain Tang

Tu Hi Meri Jineh Ki Aarzoo Aur Meri Lauti Umang

Aag Mein Tapke Barsat Mein Bhujke

Zaron Mein Kapkapati Hui Yeh Bechain Ang

Na hain Koi Meri Disha

Na Hain Meri Koi Jeene Ka Dhang

Bhikhar Ke Phir Ti Main Hu Haar Ek Gaaliyan

Jaise Koi Dor Se Tuti Hui Kati Patang

Ab Na Jiya Jaata Hain Aise

Ghol De Tu Meri Jiban Mein Basant Ke Rang

                                                         COME SINK IN THE COLOR OF LOVE !!! :-)

Aakhiyaan

Kuch Mili Hain Mujhe Zindegi Se 

Kuch Mujhse Hamesha Khoyee Hain

Jab Jab Dekha Main Tumhari Naino Ko

Hamesha Meri Khoyee Hui Woh Pal 

Unn Hasin Aakhon Mein Mili Hain

Tumhari Aakhein Na Jaane Kya Kaheti Hain

Khamosh Nigahein Na Jaane Kya Saheti Hain

Tum Kholti Ho Jab Palkein Tumhari 

Raaz-e-Savera Unn Mein  Dhikhaee Deti Hain

Kuch Armaan Shayed Roz 

Unn Palkon Mein Tum Bunti Ho

Tarash Ke Mann Ki Nazron Se 

Tum Har Ek Sapna Chunti Ho

Jab Na Koi Hota Hain Kareeb Tumhari

BeKhayal Nigahon Se Mujhe Dhundti Ho

Kali Kali Unn Aakhon Ki Taron Mein

Raat Ki Andheron Mein Tut Ti 

Lakhon Khowahishon Mein

Tum Mujhe Rakhte Ho Mehfuz Karke

Apni Khubsurat Bheegi Si Palkon Ki Shabnaam Mein

Mere Liyeh Tum Doah Karti Ho Rab Se

Chupati Ho Meri Chahat Tum Na Jaane Kab Se

Jab Woh Paak-e- Nazar Dekhti Hain Khudah Ki Taraf

Meri Umar Ki Hisaab Barhti Hain Tab Se

Tumhari Nazron Se Kuch Kahena Hain

Tumhari Palkon Mein Mujhe Yun Hi Rahena Hain

Mujhe Doob Na Hain Har Din Uss Ishq-e-Talab Mein

Har Sitam Har Zulum Har Badnaami Logon Ki Mujhe

Khushi Khushi Aise Hi Sahena Hain

Tumhari Nazar Rahein Meri Hi Firaaq Mein

Besh Kimat Woh Nazar  Rahe Mere Hi Haaq Mein

Main Aagar Tumhare Saath Na Vi Rahun 

Toh Koi Vi Ghum Nehi

Meri Ruh ke Saath Tumhari Aakhon Ke Nur BeShaak Hain

Uss Nazar Ko Meri Lakhon Salam

Nashile Unn Deed-e-Adaon Pe Kar Du

Meri Iss Shar Ko Kalam

Meri Ru-ba-ru Rahe Tumhari Chehra

Meri Zindegi Kar Du Unn Aakhiyaan Ke Naam

                                                                           Eye's Of Eternity !!

Kuch Baatein

Koun Si Aisi  Manzil Nehi Jahan Main Nehi Hoon

Meri Nazar Waha Door Asmaan Mein Hain

Aur Main Yahan Zameen Pe Khari Hoon

Chand Akela Falak Pe Muskaye

Apni Kiran Se Meri Dil Bahelaye

Tum Zindah Ho Avi Le Rahi Ho Shaash

Aise Deke Honsla Meri Dil Ko Sahelaye

Main Chalti Hoon Sunsan Sadak Pe

Aur Chalte Hain Kuch Tez Hawayein

Chalo Tum Mere Saath Urr Ke

Kahe ke Meri Mann Ko Kahin Aur Le Jaye

Jahan Wadiyon Se Ghire Hue Ek Choti Si Basti Hain

Jahan  Machalti Hui Ek Dariya  

Jhumti Hui Laharon Ki Dhuno Ke Saath Hain Baheti 

Aur Saath Kuch Phoolon Se Saaje Ek Chhoti Si Kashti Hain

Baat Karti Hoon Main Har Kisi Se

Lekin Kuch Baatein Kavi Kahe Nehi Sakti

Kuch Parindey Ass Pass Urr Te Hain

Shayed Gaa Te Hain Woh Geet Jo Main Gaa Nehi Sakti

Saab Kahete Hain Kaise Jite Ho Aise

Tumhe Hamari Tarha Jinah Chahiye

Hum Kahete Hain Jo Na Aaye Kisike Kam

Hume Aisi Sharab-e-Zindegi Pina Chahiye

LIVE LIFE !!! :-) <3

Incarnation

                                                    

Lord Jesus reincarnated. Can human do may not be possible But......The Sanskrit word for rebirth or reincarnation is 'punarjanam' and 'samsara' (theround of births and deaths or transmigration of the soul).

Writes S. Rajmohan, research scholar at the Ramakrishna Mission, Chennai, India, in Tattvaloka (June-July 1995): "For death is nothing but the dissolution of the body, which is a mere cage for the jiva (soul). At the time of death, the self entrapped in the snare of the five elements leaves one body and enters another."

The scriptures further clarify that death is a mere point in the soul's journey to the ultimate goal of life—moksha or liberation from the cycle of life and death. Thus, this transmigration of the soul is defined as "the passage after death of the human or animal soul from a mortal body to a new incarnation in another body of the same or another species" in the Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics edited by James Hastings. 
But this network of life is not limited to fables and fantasies. There is documented evidence of children remembering their past lives. However, the scientific community is unimpressed. "Reincarnation cannot be proven scientifically," says Delhi-based psychiatrist Dr Kulin Kothari. "It is a belief propagated by the spiritual and metaphysical schools."

So we have skeptics on one hand and on the other, those who do not need any evidence of reincarnation because they are rooted in a culture that believes in reincarnation. In between are researchers who try to analyze the claims of rebirth through a scientific approach.

KARMA AND REINCARNATION 
To understand reincarnation, we must know its origins. The Bhagvad Purana states: "Just as commodities like gold and other articles change hands, a jiva (soul) wanders from one species of existence to another." So we are reborn and get a life in accordance with our past karmas or deeds.

A little skeptical about this theory, filmstar Suresh Oberoi says: "I don't know about past lives, but I do agree that karma rebounds. Karma is action and just as whatever seed you sow becomes a plant of that species, so whatever action you perform must give its results. When it will materialize is very difficult to say."

Writes Swami Jyotirmayananda in Tattvaloka: "Though the Sanskrit word 'karma' literally means 'action', it implies the impressions of action that exist in the subconscious and the unconscious depths of the mind. Therefore, for every reincarnating spirit, there is a storehouse of karma from the past lives. All karmas don't bear fruit in the same life. Certain karmas continue to exist as seeds and may fructify in future lives."

But the law of karma does not bind you to fate or destiny. It is the propeller to surge you ahead in the evolution cycle. In The Problem of Life and Death, Swami Parmananda of Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai, India, writes: "On the contrary it (karma) declares that no condition is permanent, but if man wishes to escape from the present fruits of his actions, he has only to direct his energies steadily in another channel and he will counteract the results of his past errors." For instance, if you have a bad habit such as smoking, you just have to fix your goal to a higher purpose to get rid of this habit. 
Swami Vivekananda is even more emphatic on the role of free will. He wrote: "We have the power to be what we are, and whatever we wish to be, we have the power to make ourselves." If what we are has been the result of our past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act."

But most of us forget our past lives. Why? Wrote Sri Aurobindo in The Life Divine: "The law that deprives us of the memory of the past lives is a law of the cosmic wisdom and serves, not disserves, its evolutionary purpose... A clear and detailed memory of the past lives, hatred, rancor, attachments, connections would be a stupendous inconvenience; for it would bind the reborn being to a useless repetition or a compulsory continuation of his surface past and stand in the way of his bringing out new possibilities from the depths of the spirit."

According to J. Bruce Long, it could be the fear of transference of karma. "As written in the Mahabharata, the transference of karmas, good or evil, is more prevalent in families. The chaste wife can release her husband from sin. Like all negatives, this too has a negative, so to destroy a man, destroy his wife," he writes in Karma and Rebirth in Indian Classical Traditions.

Most Buddhist sects agree with reincarnation. The Tibetan Book of The Dead describes the soul's passage after death and how it comes back to human form. The story of the Dalai Lama is the best example of children's past life memory. Each of the Dalai Lamas, over many centuries since the birth of the first in 1351 AD, followed the same line; each one was an incarnation of the last, retaining the spiritual wisdom acquired over many lifetimes.
