Radhe Radhe

तेरे मिलने की आस न होती;
तो ज़िंदगी आज यूँ उदास न होती;
मिल जाती कभी तस्वीर जो
तेरी;
तो हमको आज तेरी तलाश न होती।..........

Hare Krishna

कोई चाहे कितना भी महान क्यों ना हो जाए ,

पर कुदरत कभी भी किसी को महान बनने

का मौका नहीं देती ।।

कंठ दिया कोयल को , तो रूप छीन लिया ।

रूप दिया मोर को ,तो ईच्छा छीन ली ।

दि ईच्छा इन्सान को , तो संतोष छीन लिया ।

दिया संतोष संत को , तो संसार छीन लिया ।

दिया संसार चलाने देवी - देवताओं को ,

तो उनसे भी मोक्ष छीन लिया ।

दिया मोक्ष उस निराकार को , तो उसका भी आकार छीन लिया ।।

मत करना कभी भी ग़ुरूर अपने आप पर 'ऐ

इंसान' , मेरे god ने तेरे और मेरे जैसे कितने मिट्टी से

बना के मिट्टी में मिला दिए !

Hare Krishna

तुझे देखना इबादत, तेरी यादबंदगी है ,

तुझे कैसे भूल जाऊँ, तू तो मेरी जिंदगी है ||

तेरा प्यार मुझे अब तक , क्यों हो सका न हासिल ,

समझा हूँ मैं यक़ीनन , मुझ में ही कुछ कमी है ||

मेरी प्रार्थना है मोहन , कुछ ऐसी कर दो रहमत ,

चरणों में ठौर पाऊ, फिर मुझको क्या कमी है ||

WHY STUDY THE GITA ?

The Grace of the Gita, or WHY STUDY THE GITA ?
An obvious question. Especially in an age of untold demands on our time, and an infinite range of possible activities (and inactivities) from which to choose from. Thus, *Why do it ?* is the more natural choice over *Just do it !*
The question itself has been answered at length by various scholars and experts in different ways. In an earlier post,
Gandhiji's thoughts in this regard have been shared. Thoughtsof other leaders like Einstein and Vivekananda will also be
shared in subsequent posts.
But, one of the best answers to the question of Why study the Gita ?; is in The Gita itself.
Lord Krishna Says in the 18th Chapter of The Gita -
Those who shall study our sacred dialogue shall be performing a holy act of sacrifice (JnaanYajn, knowledge-sacrifice). This is My promise. (18.70) Whoever hears or reads this sacred dialogue in the form of the
Gita with faith and without doubts becomes free from sin, and attains heaven --- the higher worlds of those whose actions
are pure and virtuous. (18.71)
O Arjun, did you listen to this with single-minded attention?
Has your delusion born of ignorance been completely destroyed? (18.72)
Arjun said: By Your grace my delusion is destroyed; I have gained Self-knowledge; my confusion (with regard to body and
Atma) is dispelled; and I shall obey Your command. (18.73)
Sanjay said: Thus, I heard this wonderful dialogue between
Lord Krishna and Mahaatma Arjun, while making meastounded. (18.74)
By the grace of (guru) sage Vyaas, I heard this most secretand supreme yog directly from Krishna, the Lord of yog,
Himself speaking (to Arjun) before my very eyes (by theblessing granted by sage Vyaas). (18.75)
O King, by repeated remembrance of this marvelous and sacred dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjun, I am thrilled
at every moment, and (18.76)
recollecting again and again, O King, that marvelous form ofKrishna I am greatly amazed, and I rejoice over and over
again. (18.77)
Wherever there will be both Krishna, the Lord of yog (or Dharm in the form of the scriptures (Shaastr)), and Arjun with
the weapons (Shastr) of duty and protection, there will be everlasting prosperity, victory, happiness, and morality. This is my conviction. (18.78)
Once the Why do it ? is answered, the auspicious task of Lets
Do it, can begin in earnest.

Bhagwad Geeta - Lord Krishna

Lord Krishna - Bhagwad Geeta - 18.69 and 18.70

"There exists no man among men in this world, who can do a greater service to Me than to extend My words of wisdom and eternal truths to those who are worthy of hearing them.
O Arjuna, I hold this man to be very dear to My heart."

"He who studies and truly learns this sacred conversation, O Partha,

worships Me through his intelligence and light of wisdom."

May all be prosperous and happy, May all be free fromillness,
May all see what is spiritually uplifting, May no one suffer.

Holi celebration

Page from the History of Bharata Varsha: Start Of Holi Celebration

1 ) Krishna and Radharani

The Holi of Braj is famous all over India for its intimate connection with the divine deities and their love plays. It is said that when Krishna was a young boy, he asked the reason for his dark color while Radha was so fair.

His mother Yashoda playfully suggested that he should smear color on Radha’s face too and change her complexion to any

color he wanted. Captivated by the idea, Krishna proceeded to do so and thus,

introduced the play of colors on Holi.

Even today, Holi is one of the most important festival of Braj,where the men of Nandgaon and women of Barsana play

‘latthmar Holi’ in the remembrance of the playful throw of colors by Krishna on ‘Gopis’ and their resistance.

2 ) Sacrifice of Kamadeva

According to Hindu mythology, the world is looked after the Trinity of Gods - Lord Brahma, the creator; Lord Vishnu, the

nurturer; and Lord Shiva, the destroyer.

According to a legend, Goddess Sati, the daughter of Daksha Prajapati, one of the first sons of Lord Brahma, married Lord

Shiva against the wishes of her father.

Thus, Daksha did not invite her and her husband to a grand yagya arranged by him.

When Sati came to know about the event in her father’s house, she thought it to be a slip of mind and proceeded to

participate in the event despite the warnings of her husband.But once she reached there, she realized her fault and was infuriated by the insult of her husband.As a penance

for her disobedience, she entered the fire. When Lord Shiva came to know of her sudden demise, he was furious. Even

after he controlled his anger, he started a severe meditation and renounced all work.

The world’s balance soon crumbled in his absence and Sati took rebirth as Goddess Parvati to try and win Lord Shiva’s

heart and wake him up from his trance. She tried all ways to get the attention of Shiva.

When she had exhausted all her feminine ways, she invoked the help of Kamadava, the Indian cupid-god, who agreed to

help her in the cause of the world despite the risks involved..He shot his love-arrow on Shiva’s heart. Disturbed in his trance, Lord Shiva opened his third eye thatfired anger and instantly incinerated Kamadeva. It is said that.it was on the day of Holi that Kamadeva had sacrificedhimself for the good of all beings.

Later, when Lord Shiva realized his mistake, he granted.Kamadeva immortality in invisible form.

Moral of the incident: This incident of burning off kama is called kamadahana or Holi. As the lust was won over by Lord

Shiva the kamadahana or Holi festival is celebrated as an event associating with the Bliss of God. So following

kamadahana during holi, people put the powders on themselves and others remembering this victory over lust.

3 ) Invincible Dhundhi During the reign of Prithu, there was a terrible ogress called

Dhundhi, who loved to devour innocent children..She had performed severe penances and had won several boons from the deities that made her almost invincible.

However, due to a curse of Lord Shiva, she was not so immune to the pranks and abuses of young boys as she was to weapons and arrows.One day, the courageous boys of the village decided to get rid of her forever and chase her away from the village forever.They got intoxicated on bhaang and drunk and then followed

Dhundi to the limits of the village, beating drums, making loud.noise, shouting obscenities and hurling insults at her and

continued doing this until she left the village for good.

This is the reason that even today young boys are allowed to.indulge themselves in rowdiness, using rude words andintoxication on Holi.

4 ) Bhakt Prahlad & Holika

There was a mighty demon king named Hirnakashyipu who.had won all the three worlds of heaven, earthand hell and had

thus, become very proud. He assumed that he could defeat even Lord Vishnu with his valor. He went to the extent that he

had enforced a law that everybody would worship him instead of gods and deities.

However, his little son Prahlad refused to accept his.commands and continued to worship Lord Vishnu with.complete devotion. Infuriated by this defiance of his son, he ordered his soldiers to throw him down a hill. Praying.fervently and having full faith in Lord Vishnu, Prahlad did not

retract from his word. True to his faith, Lord Vishnu rescued him at the last moment.

Flustered by this news, Hirnakashyipu invoked the help of his sister Holika, who had a boon that she could walk through the

fire unharmed to do away with his son.

The wicked aunt agreed to the evil desires of his brother and entered the fire with her nephew Prahlad. However, the brother and sister had forgot that Holika could only enter the fire alone or she would perish. Thus, blessed by Lord Vishnu, the child Prahlad remained unharmed but Holika got burnt and died instantly.

Holi is thus celebrated to commemorate the death of the evil.aunt, after whom the festival is named, and the new life granted to Prahlad for his devotion and faith. To this day, cowdung is hurled into the fire and obscenities are shouted at the Holi fire at some places to insult Holika.

Moral of the Holika incident: Those who love God shall be saved, and they that torture the devotee of God shall bereduced to ashes. When Holika was burnt, people abused her

and sang the glories of the Lord and of His great devotee,

Prahlad. In imitation of that, people even today use abusive language, but unfortunately forget to sing the praises of the Lord and His devotee!

When we understand our relationship with God then we all will

be has Hare Krishna ... Jay Jagannath ...
