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... 

SOMETHING BEYOND SCIENCE....

               There was a session about KRISHNA in our college named 'KRISHNA- AS HE IS'. I was also one of the speakers in it. I expressed my views about KRISHNA as I interpreted Him.After the lecture many of the listeners asked "Is that a scientific approach to justify each & every activity of KRISHNA?"  A very good question in fact!

              But what is scientific approach? Viewing anything only for the purpose of finding shortcomings-is that scientific? The truth is anything viewed with the pre-judgement  is unscientific. There somethings which even science cant fathomed yet. The best example is 'love'..!! 

          Can science detect the love as it detects magnetism and all those things? Can it answer whether the person loves or not somebody? And the answer is firm no. But we know rather we can feel that there is something called 'love' in existence. But from the science point of view love is completely unscientific term!!

           Truth that even the great scientists like Einstein had agreed with is 'science can grasp only matter and there is certainly something beyond the grasp of science'. 

           So the solution to the query is to look at KRISHNA from the eyes of love and from the eyes of science. Because as soon as you look at Him from scientific point of view He cease to exist as KRISHNA. KRISHNA is a phenomenon, an event!!

           And this wordily science is very lame to define KRISHNA.Because He is something beyond science.

           So look at KRISHNA, as he is ...      

WHO ARE YOU...?

Who are you? The most simple question ever! Really think a bit & try to answer yourself " who are you ?"
                              We all are totally distributed in the compartements of status, life-style, economical condition, caste, religion, race & all those bogus things the man himself had created for his own purposes. In all this choas we have lost ourselves, the real person within us!
                               Who are you ? The most common answers are "I am Indian", "I am american", "I am Hindu", "I am Muslim"..... and the list is endless. Who answeres "I am only 'I' and nothing else." We all are completely bound in all this in-vain game.
                                In fact love must be only thing which should bind all of the humanity. But we are bound by the religion, caste etc. Love is the ultimate thing that will dwell here after anything. It is the greatest bliss& boon to us. But unfortunately we are wasting our time in hating others. The Creator of this wonderful existence require nothing but "love" from his creations.
                                 But people go on offering unwanted things like floweres, gold ornaments, timely prayers. But there is hidden hatred & selfisheness in those people. They are offering the prayers only for themselves. They only want the show... real spirit is lost!
                                 So again " Who are you "? ........
                                  " I am only 'I' loving  this existence & flowing with the divine flow..."
