Inspiring Thoughts
If I Can
If I can throw a single ray of light,
Across the darkened pathway of another,
If I can aid some soul to clearer sight
Of light and duty and thus bless my brother;
If I can wipe from any human cheek a tear
I shall not have, then, lived in vain while here.
If I can guide some erring to truth
Inspire within his heart a sense of duty;
If I can plant within the soul of a rosy plant
A sense of light, a love of truth and beauty:
If I can plant within the soul of a rosy plant
A sense of light, a love of truth and beauty;
If I can teach one man that God and Heaven are near;
I shall not have, then, lived in vain while here.
If from my mind I can banish doubt and fear.
And keep my life attuned to truth, love and kindness;
If I can scatter light and hope and cheer
And help and remove the curse of mental blindness;
If I can make joy more, more hope, less pain
I shall not have, lived in vain while here.
If by life's road side I can plant a tree
Beneath whose shade some wearied head may rest
Though I may never share its shade or see
Its beauty I shall yet be truly blessed
Though no one knows my name
IF
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired of waiting,
Or being lied about don't deal in lies;
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
Yet don't look too good nor talk too wise;
If you can dream and not make dreams your master.
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster,
And treat those two imposters just the same,
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken,
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings,
And risk it on one turn of pitch and toss,
And lose and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss,
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew,
To serve your turn long after they have gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you,
Except the will which says to them, "Hold on",
If you can mix with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or, walk with kings, nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If you men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With 60 seconds' worth of distance run,
Then yours is the world and everything that's in it,
And what's more-you 'll be a Man, My son!
-Rudyard Kipling
In the lamp of heart;
Put the oil of dispassion,
Insert the wick of devotion,
And kindle the light of knowledge,
By constant meditation;
The darkness of ignorance will be
Dispelled and you will be fully illumined.
-Swami Sivanand
Others
Lord, help me live from day to day
In such a self-forgetful way,
That even when I kneel to pray,
My prayer shall be for "Others"
Help me in all the work I do
To ever be sincere and true,
And know, that all I do for You
Must needs be done for "Others".
And when my work on earth is done,
And my new work in Heavens begun
May I forget the crown I've won,
While thinking still of "Others"
"Others." Lord, yes, "Others!"
Let this my motto be.
Help me to live for others
That I may live for Thee.
Just for Today
Just For Today, Lord
I will live through the next 12 hours and
Not try to tackle all of life's problems at once.
I will improve my mind.
I will learn something useful.
I will learn something that requires effort, thought, and concentration.
I will be agreeable.
I will look my best,
Speak in a well-modulated voice,
Be courteous and considerate.
I will not find fault with friend, relative, or colleague.
I will not try to change or improve anyone but myself.
I will have a programme.
I might not follow it exactly, but I will have it.
I will save myself from two enemies-hurry and indecision.
I will do a good turn and keep it a secret.
If anyone finds out, it won't count.
I will do two things I don't want to do, just for the exercise.
I will believe in myself.
I will give my best to the world and feel confident that
The world will give its best to me.

My New Creation
To be or not to be
I perceive the Woods are wild, dark and deep,
Silver Dark clouds have been hanging all around!
The glimpse of stars and skies are obscure to me,
I can only witness lightening and heed of thunder!
There is no sign of humanity or life around,
There are no sounds of squeaks or roars!
The trembling of the leaves is so leisurely, that,
I can hear the sounds of my heart beats aloud!
I feel, I have lost the sense of direction,
I believe I have no sight of the lane ahead!
Legs have lost sense and the body is chilled,
Stuck at crossroad, astray on my way to home!
No wonder my sleep has vanished for months,
No hankering to fill my guts or quench my thirst!
My pleadings, the Great Lord has graciously ignored,
But I wonder why I have been yearning to live on!
Perhaps I had a distant hope of some divine reprieve,
May be I was convinced that a good old Charlie will,
One day for the sake of old camaraderie emerge,
Out of nowhere, to steer my way out of darkness!
Well now, there is no wise bird left in the Jungle,
Who could be reliable, forth coming with a proposal!
Anticipation of gloom, prospects of misery and quail,
Have dawned, to challenge my very existence and survival!
Having left no stone unturned in my endeavor to,
Prevent impending collapse and imminent annihilation,
It is high time to pack up the series of brute setbacks,
Alleviate me, my Lord ~ just throw me in Hell and oblige!!
(I have missed my bus in this thick Jungle, and left with
No ambition to travel miles and miles, before I sleep.
My Lord, I know, there will be no place for a worthless
Person like me to be awarded a costly seat in heaven...!)

KASHMIR The Holy Land of Saints and Sages
Kashmir,
The only land of sages, saints and
the messengers of God on the Planet Earth
I know of only one Kashmir...!
The land of Yakshas,
That was overpowered with divine powers,
With all humility, His Excellency’s
Spiritual prowess and gained access to,
By its founder the holy Saint
Shri Shri 1008 Kashyap Rishi,
After a very long tapasya….!
Thereby Kashyap Rishi entered into a compromise
A Mutual agreement with the Yakshas
To allow his followers and descendants,
To establish in the holy land that was the land of Devtaas.
Thereby, coining the present name of the valley,
As the mir of Kashyap – Kashmir.
Thereafter, since ages the holy saints,
From all over the country have been visiting
The valley in the womb of Himalayas
For spiritual meditation in order to achieve
Nirvana – the final stage of ultimate happiness
And achieve eternal prosperity after death.
I know of only one Kashmir which is,
Supposed to be the holy abode of Shiva and Shakhti,
Any time for periodical relaxation…!
Lord Shiva has been kind enough to have bestowed
His holy Darshans to thousands of Hindus in Kashmir..!
In fact the folklores of the valley are full of examples
Those have instances of even the Muslim sages too having
Been fortunate to have the blessings and darshans of
Bholenath , being impressed with their Devotion and Bhakhti..!
I know of only one Kashmir, where
You find a small mountain called Hari Parbat..!
This particular mountain is supposed to be
The holy abode of all the 84,000 Devis and Devtaas..!
The only place on earth where by merely performing
Parikrama of this small mountain, you are supposed to
Have paid your prayers to all the deities..!
I know of only one Kashmir, where
We had the oldest Seat of learning of Hindu Culture,
The Sharda Vishva Vidhyalaya (University)
Where you will find the oldest and the original Seat
Of the holy Goddess of Learning Maa Sharda.!
This is the place where the oldest language of Hindu Culture
Was developed and taught called as Sharda lipi
Sharda lipi is the font in which the mother of all languages
The language of Sanskrit was taught...!
At present the oldest Temple and seat of Maa Sharda
Is in POK and of course in shambles
Without any caretaker excepting the Mother Nature …!
I know of only one Kashmir, where
You can have virtual Darshans of Maa Ragnya
At Kheer Bhawaani in Tulamula..!
Swami Vivekananda also had the privilege of
Having bestowed with the holy Darshans of Mata
At this holy abode of the Maa Bhawaani…!
I know of only one Kashmir, where
On the top of a small mountain is seated our
Holy Maa Jawalaaji …!
In the Shrine you will find natural Flame of Jawalaaji
Alive for all the 24 hours round the year.
There is a big size Pindi of Maa Jawalaaji
Standing aloof in the air above the ground …!
Once a Britisher wished to confirm whether
It was really standing in the air and
He dared to take out his sharp long sword
And passed it below the Pindi ….!
He was surprised to see the sword
Pass through easily without any obstruction …!
On his return back down the stairs of the mountain
He was found dead by the passers by..!
I know of only one Kashmir, where
There is a holy natural spring in Sheovpore …,
This is the place where Lord Shiva after taking bath
Could free himself from the sin of Brhamhatya
That was forced upon Him because he had cut the head
Of Lord Ganesha by mistake not knowing the background
On the advice of Rishi Narad did Lord Shiva go to the spring,
And observe the penance for Brhamhatya..!
I know of only one Kashmir, where
That is full of the thousands of such unique
and powerful Pilgrimages all around the beautiful valley..!
One has only to take pains to explore this ancient valley
To increase the knowledge of the History of Hindu culture..!
Where else on the planet will you find the holy evidences
Of the birth of the Mother of all religions… Hinduism!
Kashmir,
I bow respectfully ,
to your deep sense of Humility,
serene Solitude filled gracefully with divine Valleys,
aplomb character of lofty Karakorum ranges,
sublime and bountiful wealth of Natural Habitat ,
crowned upon with heavenly glaciers , lakes and rivers,
A perfect place for Learning , Worship and Meditation..!!!

the fever was in full gear, with the international Athletes adding fire to its well laid tracks , and the beautiful Chinese Cheerleaders to cheer them up..,Indo U.S. Nuclear Deal 123 , has suddenly gained momentum,
Just after hectic turbulence in the Indian Parliament on the Subject,

The TATA’s NANO CAR project facing full steam opposition from Mamta Bannerjee, the fire brand politician of West Bengal, TATAs find themselves unwelcome in its favorite pastures much to their surprise.
Well they are being invited by 12 other states , so it is only the Bengal who will lose not only from the TATAs but other potential industries as well…!
Petrol sailing at a low level @ U.S. $110, but Inflation is still zooming high,Gold & Bullion Market is not simmering too behind ,
Automobile Industry is chasing Double Digit Growth, along withall other Industries Construction, Engineering, Chemicals and so on,Middlemen in the vegetable, fruits market and Agriculture Industryare actively digesting triple digit growth without making noise,Only to suck the blood of the farmers and common masses in general,at the cost of the popularity of the existing Government .....!The two Giant Economists, one with a blue Turban and a humble smile,and the other gentleman with a Snow white Dhoti with an academic look,have become the helpless scapegoats at the hands of cruel tribe of Middlemen,who have happily taken the government and the poor masses for a happy ride.Wake up administration before it is too late…If need be send these irresponsible tribe to the Tianmen Square...!These are the terrorists who are the destroyers of a sound growing Economy.If you do it the common masses will bring you back to Power...!

There is rainfall and thunder storm every where,
Followed by flow of cool breeze and also colling of temperatures.

Hello
Spring is in full swing ,
Summer is at its peak ..!
IPL Cricket is in full gear , with their Cheerleaders to cheer them up,
Indo U.S. Nuclear Deal 123 , has suddenly lost momentum,
Petol is riding high @ U.S. $125 , Inflation is zooming high,
Gold & Bullion Market is not simmering too behind ,
Automobile Industry is chasing Double Digit Growth, along with
all other Industries Construction, Engineering, Chemicals and so on,
Middlemen in the vegetable, fruits market and Agriculture Industry
are actively digesting triple digit growth without making noise,
Only to suck the blood of the farmers and common masses in general,
at the cost of the popularity of the existing Government .....!
The two Giant Economists, one with a blue Turban and a humble smile,
and the other gentleman with a Snow white Dhoti with an academic look,
have become the helpless scapegoats at the hands of cruel tribe of Middlemen,
who have happily taken the government and the poor masses for a happy ride.
Wake up administration before it is too late .
If need be send these irresponsible tribe to the Tianmen Square...!
These are the terrrorists who are the destroyers of a sound growing Economy.
If you do it the common masses will bring you back to Power...!
