Let The Life Flow

I have listened and read many stories about Buddha and his life in my childhood. One of them was about a time when his brother Debadutta wanted Buddha to be killed by a mad/drunken elephant. So the drunken elephant was let loose and it came charging towards Buddha ferociously. But Buddha stood his ground calmly. The elephant came rushing, however as he came near Buddha he suddenly became calm and relaxed and went down on his knees bowing down to Buddha. Buddha just touched his forehead and blessed the animal.   Another time he was given a hut for night halt where there was a poisonous snake inside. But Buddha went and stayed there. He addressed the snake as his friend and requested him to go out into the jungle as the place was not safe for him. He told the snake that humans are afraid of him and hence they will kill him. The snake bowed to Buddha and went out of the hut to the jungle.   I was fascinated by these stories and the power of Buddha to control the mind of others. W...

Today is my Birth Day. So its special for me. Added to that today is Rakhi Purnima. That makes the day even more special. Usually I would have spent the day with my husband and it would have been a usaul quiet celebration. But nature wanted me to have a better party. I am here in Orchha and in this palace replica Bundelkhand Riverside making me feel like a king's guest. Its a beautiful ambience, good food and a lovely weather. And then from the morning I got calls from my family members, loved ones, friends and colleagues remembering me and wishing me. And I have received lovely cards from my loved ones. Nature's gifts manifested even with greater energy as the day proceeded. I was greeted by my colleagues and volunteers present here. In the afternoon came the big surpsrise - a big bouquet was presented to me, a big cake was brought for me to cut and in a palacial hall called Machhli Dalan I did cut it to a chorus of Happy Birth Day to You. And then whoosh... Mousumi sho...

Hi Dear! Have you followed the Love magic method? If you have then you must have known by now that Love is a feeling which fills up your mood with a happy feeling and the warmth of that happiness lingers long, wherever you go, whenever you go, who ever you meet or what ever you do. When somebody says 'I love You' to you, she or he is giving that happy feeling to you and if you are not ready to accept it, then the happy feeling will just rebound away from you. So when you love your self day in and day out, you actually are creating in you the space for accepting more and more love and the space is bound to be filled with Love only. Now that you are filled up with this warm feeling of Love, be ready to get some more. Look at the first person you in the morning with a little more attention. Smile and wish her/him a happy day ahead. If that is not possible just wish for her/ his happiness to the Universe and thank it for the opportunity it has given you for that wish. Do it for ...

Again the question has come back to me. Contemplative OK, but how come I describe myself as a Conjurer of Love? Conjurer of Love means ‘Love Magician’. What a Magician does? Out of nothing s/he manifests things for your sight and senses, mesmerises you and delights you. Being a Love Magician I do the same. Out of unmanifested Universe I gather love and try to distribute around, try to distribute positive spirit of love around and try to distribute happiness of love around. Believe me. This is a Happy Universe and abundance of love is there to be tapped. Oh, no, I am not speaking about only ‘physical love’ or ‘romantic love’. These are only sub sets. Love is a much larger phenomenon. Love is life. And Life is Love. You don’t feel love in your life? Here is a small tip. Get up in the morning, open your eyes, smile to yourself still lying in the bed and say ‘I Love you’. The moment for the first time in the day you face your mirror – pause, look into your own eyes, smile and say ‘I Love ...

Today – oh sorry it is already yesterday – being the Romance Day, let me come back to the feelings and emotions again. Think of it, if you LIKE somebody or something what is your instinct? You would have an inclination to know more about the subject/object, to spend more time on/with that. In opposite when you do not like some subject/object, then you feel like going away and not to deal with it. Try spending time with subject/object for which you do not feel positive emotion. You feel bored and burdened! A denser form of this emotion would what I will call as LOVE. You no longer only feel positive for this subject/object; you try actually devoting and spending more time and feeling happy in doing so. If this is for a person we also want reciprocation and try to do things to get the same. You take effort in becoming more aware about the other person and letting know about yourself. You feel attracted and drawn to this person and feel inclined to attract him/her. If the feeling is mutu...

Finally I thought of giving it a go – expressing myself. And first thing I want to tackle is the persistent question of my friends about the word on the right side of the Orkut profile prompt ‘Passion’. My first submission is ‘Love’. "How can ‘Love’ be somebody’s passion? Yaar, kuchh bhi likh deti ho!" Well, Is it so? In any case, was there any rule anywhere in this site about not writing ‘Kuchh bhi’! I suppose each one is out there expressing her/himself – trying to be as individual as one can in the milieu of the profiles. But I am here to explain and not take refuse in counter questions. So let me try. What is Passion? Go by dictionary and it will say –very strong emotion, an intense enthusiasm for something. Yes it also talks about intense sexual love. But let’s go by the context. When you say your passion is Literature or rugby or scuba diving or what ever ... what do you mean? You feel strongly for it and have intense enthusiasm for it. If your passion is cricket, you ...
