दया

दया
------
दया धर्म  निभाया था हमने ;
बेरहम किसी निर्बोध के लिए ...
वह समझा स्वार्थ कोई ,
इस्तेमाल में लाया सिद्धि के लिए ll

वह कीचड़ लाता गया
मैं कमल लगाती गयी ,
वह बिलखता गया
मैं सुलझती गयी ll

फिर बताया जब कमल बनो ,
अलविदा किआ जिंदगी के लिए ll

#Verdict2014 and the influence of Sri Sri behind it

Big day fr India.
The new PM Sri Narendra Modi ji 's swearing in ceremony.

Gurudev too is invited there to bless the new government n the new PM with His presence :-)

He knew this victory well before.
We all knew it.Nation knew it.
We all were simply celebrating *this big day* since then,since Sri Narendra Modi was nominated as PM.

There was no question of 'vikalp', so this victory.
There was No other leader than Narendra Modi who could be the best option fr the country in such worst situation our Bharat was facing fr decades,so this victory.

This inevitable future came as a clear picture in the mindoscope of ppl when the spiritual leader influenced them channelizing their anger and frustration into the will to serve. Motivated ppl to be focused, to put effort , to become sevaks of motherland....to bring change fr good.

As a spiritual leader,Gurudev has contributed a lot to make this happen.He pushed ppl upto the polling-booth, inspired thousands of volunteers to put their right effort at the right place in order to bring awareness in ppl's mind. #VBI, voting awareness campaign, support to IAC movement, approaching ppl to make their right choice, His contribution cannot be explained or written.
Instead of being criticized by no of ppl who were continuously  discouraging Him not to get involved in politics because it may damage His image, this spiritual master felt it is His responsibility to influence ppl in order to bring a stable n progressive govt fr a better future n prosperity and growth fr our country.

Many of us do not know that He was the founder member of the Anti Corruption movement as He and His ppl hav offered every possible support n help.He was functioning as  major inspiring force behind every movement related to Anti Corruption.
The intelligentsia shall keep doing their ananysis and evaluation But today i tell yu a story which is known to all :-)

Once Swami Vivekanand was invited in a religious meet n there He got to see they have kept Gita below and the holy scripture of their religion at the top.
He was such a leader that he with His words and approach immediately made the ppl understand the value of The Gita.
He said "Yu hav rightly placed our scripture here.See The Gita is placed below and above it yu hav placed your scriptures. It is the Foundation, based upon this holy scripture n this religion, other scriptures hv come up." They understood the value of the Holy scripture then n there n identified n corrected their mistake.

So was The Man. The Guru, The Guide along with His wisdom fr verdict 2014. Sri Sri is that foundation without doership.
That wisdom to bring the motivation in millions in order to make this day happen.
Yada Yada hi Dharmasya.... <3

PRESENCE

The moon in sky today at dawn. Looking at it,was contemplating on the the word 'presence'.

"Our presence is in control of the universe,there is one energy which is controling the universe. Our job is to get connected to that energy and rest is done."

In order to connect that energy which is in control of the universe ; we must know our presence too is in control of the same n to surrender.
And
When we willingly surrender our steering n let go every effort to control our presence - then our presence get its beauty n purpose.

Sometimes our mind wharlpools itself, we get extremely unenthusiastic n lethargic with inferiority complex thinking "i am able only to do a little and my that little part i do will remain unnoticed as it is not that important" n we give up.
Mind tends to compare n whether it gets into jealousy or in depression.

Just look at this moon and think once,
When the sun rises up we cannot see it anymore in the sky. But still it remains there !! Again after the evening twillight it come visible, and serve its purpose of giving us some light, beauty, and reminds us the tithi what is it.
Sun may come up with its brighter presence but when it is dark, it sends its indirect light though moon na !! Contemplate, and yu will know how important your presence is :-)

Love !!

'Ganga-Putra' late swami nigamananda

When Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi is coming up with the great innitiative ' Clean-Ganga Movement' ,We should be grateful to a martyr saint who has sacrificed his life fr "ma ganga" fr his Save-Ganga-Movement.
Swami Nigamananda Saraswati who was often referred as 'Ganga-Putra' .... son of bihar, frm 'matri sadan' Haridwar fought his battle against illigal mining there.
Surprisingly his contribution and his movement was neglected by administration !! At age of 35, this brilliant vedic scholar n saint died, unattended by media,elite society and govt.
I urge ppl not to forget, ppl who are the real contributors...to mark their martyrhood when we further move towards that direction.

Today is the most awaited day fr the indian youth and fr the whole nation, when all are eagerly waiting to see their dream comes true.
A dream to see Ma Bharati as the most prosperous country in hand of the most efficient leader Sri Narendra Modi ji.
Yesterday a good friend n a strong supporter of future PM of India has requested to pray, fr Modiji n the nation, during my morning pooja i used to do everyday during ushakaal.
Was praying since long n has Prayed today too... Let the best happen.
Let the prosperity health n wealth comes in abundance to the country and all its citizens...

Here are the sanskrit verses from rigveda, a traditional morning prayer fr all.

"Aum pratar agnim pratar indram havamahe
pratar mitravaruna pratar asvina
pratar bhagam pusanam brahmanaspatim
pratah somam uta rudram huvema

pratarjitam bhagam ugram huvema vayam putram aditer yo vidharta
adhras cidyam manyamanas turascid raja cid yam bhagam bhaksityaha

bhaga pranetar bhaga satyaradho bhagemam dhiyam udava dadan nah
bhaga pra no janaya gobhir asvair bhaga pra nrbhir nrvantah syama

utedanim bhagavantah syama uta prapitva uta madhye ahnam
utodita maghavan suryasya vayam devanam sumatau syama

bhaga eva bhagavan astu devas tena vayam bhagavantah syama
tam tva bhaga sarva ij johaviti sa no bhaga pura eta bhaveha"
Om Shanti Shanti Shantih !!

This is a traditional morning mantra from the Rg Veda which means :
We invoke the following divine aspects of the Supreme Brahman known to us as Agni, Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Ashwins, Bhaga, Pushana, Brahmaspati, Soma & Rudra. We meditate upon your supreme cosmic energy at Usha,Dawn,the Goddess of prosperity & health.

We invoke Kubera the Lord of wealth, the sone of Aditi & the one who supports the entire Cosmos through his Divine energy who bestows health & wealth on the poor & needy.

We meditate on the Lord of Wealth as you are truly beneficient & please guide us daily. May you protect us by bestowing great intellect upon us so that we may have the courage to distinguish between right & wrong, may you guide us through darkness of ingnorance; may you make us wealthy by giving us foodgrains in the form of rains, may you enrich us with healthy progeny, may you enrich us with cows with abundant milk,may you enrich us with great strength & plenty of horses to till our lands for abundant food grains.

We invoke the Lord of Wealth, let us be prosperous throughout the day & night; may you always grant your kind protection upon us & our families & country; we invoke you for protection & your benevolence always throughout our lives.

'Kochur saag' [A typical bengali dish made using Ghuiyan in hindi, taro/arum stem in english]

There are few dishes which are very popular in bengal. One of it is given here. As i love to experiment with typical reciepe to present with a different aroma, I give it bit of south-indian flavour by adding very less quantity of coconut in the masala paste itself, which brings a good aroma and 'posto dana'/'khaskhas' in order to make it bit crisp.

1.Take "kochur saag" cut into pieces of 2" each , thoroughly washed n put them in a pressure cooker adding a pinch of salt and quarter cup of water. Close the lid and Steam cook fr sometime. Put off the gas before it starts whistle, cause it is very tender n could be overcooked otherwise.
Drain the excess water from it n keep it aside.
2. Prepare a mixture of few ingredients. Mustard seed 1 spoon, postodana 1/2 spoon, 1 /2 or 3 green chilis as per your taste (if yu dont like hot taste yu may just choose green chilli which are less hot. Just add 1 to bring the flavour). And the grated coconut 2 tablespoon. I personally prefer to grind masala in 'Shil-batti' instead of grind it in grinder.
3. Add a spoonful of mustard oil in a pan, add a pinch of kaloungi/kala jeera as tadka OR a pinch of sarson /mustard seed(optional).
Now add the masala paste, 1/4 of termaric powder, a pinch of lal-mirch powder n salt... [[ if yu are frm west bengal n like sweet taste in vegetables, just add a pinch of sugar in it. This is optional as ppl frm other states or taste may not like it :-) ]] and stir fry untill it leaves the oil.
4.Add the cooked 'kochur saag' in it. Let the flavour of the masala paste get well mixed in it while yu cook it further n dry the remaining water frm it. Your dish is ready to serve :-)
Yu may garnish it with grated coconut if yu like.
