silence!

                    I am a good listener of Indian classical music. Though I am a very beginner about it's knowledge, most important is the pleasure and refreshment I get from that music! Because music is not the thing to know, rather it is to be experienced. Anubhuti of music is the main thing!
                     Yesterday I was listening to Hariharan, one of my favorite vocalist in this field. Between the song he mentioned the importance of silence for music. How true! In fact music and silence are complementary. There cannot be music without silence or the reverse. It is very important for the listener and the singer also to maitain that eternal silence. 
                       Silence is the real voice of soul. Many saints in past used to remain silent for long period and they really experienced the power of that. There is silence therapy developing recently. Fortunately India is already endowed with all this knowledge from very past. 
                        Today what we really miss is the silence. Nobody should be around is not the only requirement of being silent. It comes from within. One can really be silent at any place, any time.It is just like to be dry in full of water everywhere. The nature is silent at its own. So maintain the resonance between 
yourself and nature that's the way to experience 'that' divine silence!!

MILE SOOR MERA TUMHARA...

            His voice is unmatched...He is the legend...He is the God of Indian classical music... He is the unparallel vocalist of Indian classical.... Uncountable people forget everything while listening Him... Tears simply roll down while listening Him... He left everything at very early age for the love of singing... No puraskar or anything can justice Him... He is none other than BHIMSEN JOSHI JI!!!!
             In morning when I was about to take bath, my phone rings and friend there told me that PANDITJI passes away... I was shocked, speechless& coulden't move... That was shock not only for me but to whole of His lovers.
             In fact I had never experienced PANDITJI live but listened him lot from the very childhood of mine. My grandpa used to start his day with " tirth vitthal, kshetr vithhal" - PANDITJI'S very popular bhajana. So I along with him also started listening PANDITJI. His " mile soor mera tumhara" is like a boon to we all. To be honest I hardly know much about classical music. But when PANDITJI start singing , classical feels like your own rythmatic heart beats..something very close to your heart....
             I was just watching His video of ' Santa-vani'. He was singing with the eyes closed...and mine eyes were full of tears... He was searching something inside...Rather he was refining himself....
             SWARABHASKAR  BARATRATNA PANDIT BHIMSEN JOSHI was a divine personality... listening His voice is like being in paridise.. Though He is not in us today physically His voice will be with us forever... My sincere pranama to this PANDITJI !!!

philosophy!!

         We in our engineering college have a club of some interested people named 'PHILOMYSTIC CLUB'. We meet each week and discuss our views. It is really a great experience to be part of it. Many of my friends used to ask me many questions like "what do you discuss there?", "what is philosophy exactly?" and the list is endless.
          What is philosophy? Is that something tangential? Is it something beyond understanding? The answer is firm "no". Till the date we had been told that philosophy is something for only saints or aged people. But it is really not that.
           Philosophy is nothing but your view towards anything!!! So it need not to be moral. Morality, spirituality and philosophy are completely different things.  Everyone of us is philosopher. Our view is our philosophy. Only difference between the we people and enlightened persons is that we are unaware of ourselves.
            What we want to do is simply to amplify our circles. We have to just enlarge our own views. That is we have to just become aware of ourselves! I always say that the new born babies are enlightened!!! But their    innocence, enlightenment comes from unawareness!! We wish it to be stemmed from awareness!!
            So this is what philosophy is ...so simple and so mystic too...just awareness is needed...
