Gods & Their Miracles

Are the wonder stories associated with our Gods the reason behind our acceptance and surrender towards them or there is something more to it. Can we accept our Gods without the miracle stories that are associated with them.

For eg. Suppose Child Krishna never held up the Govardhan Parvat, or Killed the Serpent Kalia, Lord Hanuman Never actually flew with the mountain in his hand, likewise there are these wonder stories associated with Lord Ram  ..Lord shiva , Goddess Durga, Goddess Parvati.. every God we can think of

Lets for the time being suppose these were all just folklores and eliminate these wonder stories from their lives. Would we still recognize them as our Gods? Let’s ponder upon their lives without these miracles. For example let’s talk about Krishna- Krishna stole butter from neighborhood, danced with girls, Krishna who stole clothes of girl bathing in the river, eloped with his wife, provoked Arjuna for war when he could have stopped it, once ran away from the battlefield, only to be named as Rannchhod. Krishna’s clan Yadav’s were fighting among themselves and were getting miserable day by day.

That doesn’t fit into the description of a God isn’t it!! All the above is so human, and the description of the Gods that we are accustomed to is that of a Perfectionist and Flawless being; but these stories too are as true as those wonder stories if not more.

So are these miracle stories the reason that convinces us to accept and believe in our Gods. These stories tell something that is incomprehensible, largely undoable for humans. They depict a larger than life image, powers beyond the dimensions of human capacity. These stories lead us to accept that they were special, superior, they have powers and only they have those powers. Now that we conclude that they are much superior to us we also need to have a story for their birth and death. They cannot be born and die like us mortals, that doesn’t go well with the description of God, we have created and accepted, so we agree that they ascend and descend for a purpose.

Sure enough there has to be a purpose and there is a purpose for everyone born on this earth, the difference is they were the people who could find their purpose in life and endeavored to realize it. The difference is they knew Life, they understood life while we just wander around all our life heedlessly not knowing the real purpose. They are the accomplished ones.

The  Aim should not be to idolize these Great Personalities but to idealize and strive to achieve what they had achieved - The Conscious Living. 

My Dream My Destiny

I have a dream, dream of happier times

Every thought of it is a melodious rhyme

It’s the dream that keeps me going

It’s so profound as if my universe is echoing

I am sure its bound to come true and its just a matter of time

I deserve it and I will live it cos its truly mine

Dear Destiny you better have same plans

After all you belong to me and you ought to be the way I want

Sure you have powers over my will

You can turn it all around and let my hopes spill

But hope you realize it’s the dream that I sow

Makes me love you even after your harshest blow

Destiny -

Dear Self I am you not the other one

Don’t blame me for what you cannot earn

I am that hidden subtle thoughts that you breed

Its upto you to tune me with your actions and deeds

Clear your conscience and unclutter your mind

Do away with all the fears and doubts and see the miracle unwind

If You are Hurt ; Heel !!

If you are hurt; heel,

If you have been overlooked, let someone know they are valued

If you have been betrayed, assure others to count on you in dread

If you have been let down; live up to someone’s expectation

If you think world isn’t all that beautiful, ensure you make someone do away with that impression

It’s all about how you make others feel. So if you are hurt, go out and heel

Let not the adversities take away your kindness,

with every blow ensure more of love you sow

stand for your true self with utter politeness

But don’t expect the world to return the gesture, 

Favors expected in return disgraces acts of compassion

The Giving in itself is the reward, and that of the highest stature

It lets you connect with your own self and reveal its true passion

Because it’s all about how you make others feel, 

eventually you feel what they feel, 

and that strengthens your conviction, every time you are hurt you go out to heel!!!

Happy New Year !!

A New Year is a celebration that everything comes to an end, to start all over again.

The start,the end and the everything amid is momentary and transient

The pattern is defined and circular, but the one that follows it is infinite and incessant 

It’s the Time, the un-ending, everlasting but yet expiring every instant

It will never stop and will never be the same, but after every end it will start all over again

Wishing everyone A Happy New start, A Happy New year .. !!

On The Occasion of Krishna Janmasthmi

Be Born again Krishna

Be born in my thoughts, Be born in my deeds

Be born in my words, be born in my greets

Be born to establish the righteousness again

Be born to release the people from sufferings and pain

Be born again to awaken and enlighten the dormant Arjuna in our men

Be born again to arouse and unveil the Meera in women

Your Geeta sure is safe underneath the temple bricks

But to earn and win in life we rely on Shakuni’s tricks 

You spoke of rituals to evoke devotion, love and spiritual experiences so fulfilling

But for the sake of those rituals people have taken up killing

Duhshashan has become even stronger

For he believes Krishna will not hear Draupdi’s plea any longer

Be born again Krishna, Be born again to reinstate the order

Let us also witness a world full of life, love and harmony

Let the music of your flute purify our atmosphere both inner and outer

Be born again Krishna 

Be born in my thoughts, in my conscience, 

Take me from the darkness to the divine light

Don’t hide any more deep in my heart and disguise

                              Take over my soul, let me feel the bliss and experience the delight.

Krsihna Janmashtmi

कृष्णा फिर से धरती पे आओ

फिर से पुरूषों मे अर्जुन ,अभिमन्यु

माताओं मे देवकी, यशोदा

युवतिओं मे मीरा, राधा जगाओ

धर्म का तुमने जो पाठ पढ़ाया था

जिसको समझाने  के लिए महाभारत रचाया था

उस धर्म के अब मायने बदल गए हैं

रिवाज़ों को धर्म मान लोग अब मरने मारने पर  उतर गए हैं

धर्म तो मंदिरो और कथाओं मे सिमित है

जीने की शैली तो शकुनि की  सोच से निर्मित है

दुह्शाशन के हौसले बुलंद हैं

वो समझता है कृष्णा की  तो आँखें बंद हैं

द्रौपदी का विश्वास भी डगमगा रहा है

अस्त्र उठा लो अब श्याम ना आएंगे हर कोई उसे यही समझा रहा है

कहा था तुमने जब जब अधर्म बढ़ेगा

धर्म की स्थापना के लिए तुम आओगे

मुझे यकीन है तुम अपना वादा निभाओगे

हम भटके हुए लोगों को फिर से राह दिखाओगे

अपने भक्तों के इस भरोसे को सही ठहराओ

हे कृष्णा फिर से धरती पे आओ

पुरुषों मे अर्जुन अभिमन्यु

युवतियों मे मीरा राधा जगाओ 

Old Friend or New

They say old is gold, new is gem
How do I judge which one is you
Somebody please ask them

If they say the measure is time since I know you
please tell them that doesn’t hold true
because with you the time just flew

It feels like just yesterday when we met
but the bond we share
says for ages we have been there

So how do I judge Please ask them

If they say it’s how well you know me
tell them like the other self I think of thee
but it’s the acceptance that you provide
to my unknown unrevealed side
which keeps the newness of our relation alive

The time spent with you helps me find in me something new
How can such a relation be old, so you aren’t  the gold
The comfort we share cannot be with all but only with significant few
How can a relation provide this if it’s still new

So to answer the Gold & Gem may be precious for them

For me it’s our FRIENDSHIP, which I cherish
to define it they will have to find another way
Because like the worldly things with time it won’t perish
And with unexpected it wouldn’t sway
