Came Back

After a long time, I am writing again. Once again, as usual out of my favourite habit of saying thank you to Lord Krishna, I am back in so many sense , with so much learning to share that will back the refreshing touch way of life “As It Is”.

So much happened, and I must say that level of excitement reading not just gita but Bhagavatam bought in Hindi from India, really just adding more meaning of life. I truly that at good pace, the various knots of life are loosening itself. I am becoming more relaxed, responsive and clearly express myself even in tough conditions. This book is bringing so much carefreeness with full feeling of responsibility. I feel that, Krishna is simply not letting me do karma in my mind, just saving me from any karmic reactions, because he has taken the pilot seat.

But What I am talking about?

Karma, Karmic Reactions

Bhagawad gita explains that do karma for me and give all the results to me. But Why? This is how Krishna will take pilot seat and will omit the fact that “I am the doer”. What are the advantages, you will save yourself from the proud feeling and will not attract the other things that come in package like an example “EGO”. In gita, Krishna clearly do everything for the sake of doing. In this way, you will not be affected by changing time, and will carry on. This is more meaning of “As It Is”, I am experiencing, this is superb, now I am more calm, recently took a new job from simple Sales Adviser to Data Analyst which is no doubt bringing challenges but this is how “As It Is”.

This concept will take more post to reveal underlying meaning, I am so excited about the content that will come through by grace of Shri Krishna. This time, I am also posting a short video of musical chanting name of Krishna, listen and please let me know how did you find it, would really appreciate it.

Last thing, Why to wait, stopping yourself to dive in Ecstasy. Order Prabhupad’s Bhagawad-Gita As It Is by checking this website or google your local iskcon bookshop.

Saturation Vs Satisfaction

This topic, I have come across, a very interesting exploration by Dr Nitaisevini Mataji, a ISKCON inspirational speaker. I am going through a very similar stage of life, and this video just supported in the way I was looking for.

Why it is our requirement, or what changes it is bringing in my life?

Saturation attribute of life or our personality more points that there is plenty and having more will satisfy my senses but how is it possible, when you don’t know where to stop.

How I found it relevant, when I applied in my life whether I am satisfied or saturated. I checked the fact that if my life was different or people around me ,then I wouldn’t have been so enthusiastic, or so keen to know more about life in general. All the conditions or people have nurtured me so far, and still motivating me to be focused in defining the

” Purpose of Life”

Thinking this, is bringing more acceptance and really what more I can ask for? This insightful check about satisfaction, it can bring lots of benefits, make the best of this life bargain whether you consider it good, bad, hard work and so many names that we keep doing it.

Yipeee

Another Exploration on Yogas

Hare Krishna Friends. This is my way to addressing this article simply because I find it very peaceful and full of love. Nowadays a lot is happening, whatever is happening it is for good. “This is the main message I grabbed it, during the days when the old TV program Mahabharat was quite famous in 90’s in India, when supreme lord Shri Krishna was giving wisdom right in the middle of Battlefield”.

I am enrolled in Gita Course by Radhika KripaJi, she also speaks English, the link below is mix of English and Hindi. I must say her class are purely like a Spiritual mother with full care, to make us understand the pure wisdom that we need all the time.

Why the Class now, when I am Gita reading anyway, reading definitely is a good start and having a guru to fast-track to absorb the wisdom is bonus. This gives me opportunity to listen with full attention, get organised and do the assignments.

I am on chapter 6 which is Dhanya-Yoga, the teachings by my guru no doubt are so valuable, would love to share with you some highlights. The chapter 6, mainly I would say that a way to address that there are different ways to come near to Krishna who is the causes of causes, who is the perseverance of happiness but the most efficient way is to be active in devotional service or Bhakti Yoga.

But why devotional service, why not try mediation yoga, ashtanga yoga, Dhanya yoga various names? Krishna explained about various methods ,an example Ashtanga yoga in real means is tedious & difficult process, you have to go to secluded place, sit on grass mat, no materialistic life and focus on mind not to wander around.

A devotee also need wisdom but rather than going to solace place, that person will simply read Bhagawad-Gita, lord’s own words, will focus on building pious relationship with Lord as devotional servant. Devotee simply need chant to lord’s holy name, read lord’s words, in next posts I will also explain about other lifestyle aspects to be more simple.

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Ram Hare Ram Ram Ram Hare Hare

The deep, simple and pure consciousness a devotee builds due to the fact that “Everything belongs to Krishna, he is the supreme enjoyer” and “When we get the unlimited mercy by serving him then we as eternal servant enjoy”. This will automatically get rid of materialistic play of mind, ego, intelligence, hence devotee is free already.

Why and what to wait for? Gita has answers to all complex, simple questions and a proven way to realise the full potential which is no doubt very short but a golden opportunity to make the most of bad bargain.

Nip in the bud Concept

Why I am talking about this suddenly?

Well yesterday in the evening, when I was completing my assignments along with it, I was also listening Hare Krishna TV, a channel on YouTube dedicated to Krishna Consciousness. I listened an interesting lecture “Nip in the Bud” concept by Mahatma Das to identify early stage of intelligence when we mediate on anything, I felt so thankful & filled with excitement to share with readers on WordPress. My obeisance to him, it is Krishna mercy through him. I would definitely recommend checking his website.

https://mahatmadas.com/

What was the Lecture?

Krishna ,when we meditate on anything more and more, we start losing the first stage of analysis when our intelligence is more active that’s the time we need to recognise and stop it before it slips and turns into lust.

Beautifully said that, recognise the early stage of mediating whether it is your career, buying a product or any thing. It is the stage ,when intelligence is very active and asking questions “Why I need this”, “How it can satisfy me” ,quality questions for mutual benefit. This is the right time to nip in the bud before it gets too late turn into attachment second stage and lastly third stage “lust”. Mostly marketers, they use lots of parameters to connect to products, to increase our meditating time.It is upto to us to ask quality questions rather than directly jumping to third stage straightway, means ending in I have to have it, a dangerous stage to pull out from.

He explained by taking an example of marriage, they break because when you are looking more than required, which ultimately goes to unpleasant stage. I hope , it has helped you to recognise,

“Our intelligence is Our Ally”

Insight Thoughts

This post is mainly related to application of all knowledge gathered by the chapter 3. Before I move to chapter 4, it is important to reflect insights. The main application advantage of reading Geeta so far is that you learn to see the full framework/picture. You are no longer carried away from attached feelings all the time, you are fully convinced on the strong understanding. But this seems to be easy to say rather than done. It takes continuous practice each and every day.

At present I am feeling that moments are clearly communicating that you need to tear off the comfort layer, get more active, don’t waste a single moment not living in active consciousness, by the greatest tool is be firm in your regular spiritual day practices. The result is the holy sound/talk inside you become so strong enough to break your limited perspective, it is like falling deck of cards. I never thought in my life, that I would come across such a strong purification process, as a result I have recently left tea/coffee, fully caffeine free now.

You would think that what is the relation of caffeine?

As I am following daily spiritual practices ,it is bringing a transition phase, that’s why my queries have gone up, I wanted to know more about Krishna, what are special qualities makes him so popular? I came across a very influential speaker Nitaisevini Devi Dasi. Check the link http://nitaisevinimataji.in/

Her lecture on 64 qualities of Krishna part3 on YouTube, initial 13 min video made me so melting like that I started crying .It is explained so beautifully that Krishna is so merciful that every single day he forgives, on small effort for him, he gives back so much in return and for him we can’t leave caffeine, garlic/onion, non-veg diet, so small changes. These are simply hurdles in elevating consciousness, we just need to eat only that much to keep body healthy supporting our consciousness, and immediately I decided that I would leave caffeine. Since then there is no going back, I am enjoying transition the herbal teas.

Some lines from chapter 4

As a blazing fire turns firewood to ashes, O arjuna, so does the fire of knowledge burn to ashes all reactions to material activities.

Insight Thoughts

“As It is “

Reading Bhagwad-Gita every day and feeling the direct and main message of the book is simply that “It is time go Back To Godhead”. Chapter 2 is simply the elaborate explanation of Arjuna’s confusion or I would say that his desire to re-announce his duties and simply live in forest. This whole confusion starts getting its way from the start of Chapter 3.

I am on chapter-3,here Krishna is taking over the conversation insisted that ignoring the real-facts of life, you will fail in attaining peace & happiness that you have been talking about for so long. A warrior has duty to fight on the intention to establish kingdom on right principles, you are just dealing situation with an escape-mindset. Krishna emphasis on giving up your duties without purification of inner-self ,on the top of that talking flowering language of Vedas to keep society in order is simply based due to bodily attachment to life.

Gita has so much to offer and I am feeling helpless to summarise the chapters. This effort is just like that trying to get an ocean in a small jar. I really don’t know, what more I can write but by Krishna’s mercy, I am hoping that via this blog if even a single person get interested in Gita that will be so much for me.

I never thought that I would be so consistent in reading Gita every day. This book written by Shri Prabhupada delivers message ” Go Back to God”, otherwise when you are gonna go back, when that moment will come to be free from dwelling situations of life. More clarity paved my way, when I wondered how a Krishna conscious person carry on with duties.

A Krishna conscious will do the same duties comparing to non-Krishna conscious person but there is a gulf of difference. Krishna conscious person never take shelter of false ego considering himself as doer of everything ,hence free from any reaction, on the other hand a materialistic person finds his way to build ego, hence will have to be the cause of karma as well, in this way you can’t turn away from the reactions of karma as well.

“As It Is”

As I am reading more and more Bhagwad Gita , I am becoming more enlightened person. This book is simply I feel a “Love letter from Krishna”. My usual habit used to be always jumping to chapters not reading Introduction part but this time don’t know I was inclined towards first read Introduction part. I am so glad that I read and understood the importance of taking book in right comprehension guidelines. The overall summary is that I start with first is that “Bhagwad -gita is not an ordinary book, it has power to change our conditioned thinking.

Introduction introduces meaning of Santana-eternal. The supreme lord and we are eternal and combination association of the Supreme Lord and the living entities is the perfection of human life.

Every living being is rendering service to another living being in various capacities that’s why living entity enjoys life. For eg mother serves son, wife serves husband, the husband serves wife and so on . The book intelligently concludes that rendering of service is the constant companion of living being, it is eternal religion of living being, and yet we claim belong to particular faith like Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, labelling is non-eternal.

Factually we are related to Supreme Lord in service, the supreme lord is the enjoyer & we are his servitors. Krishna clearly says that “Arjuna(warrior & friend) ,simply just fix your mind on me, with your activities, intelligence dedicated to me , you will simply be free from all sins, pious karma concluding free from hell/heaven desires and you will attain me.

Krishna’s whole communication pattern was not to discourage from doing karma ,as one has to work in the world but offering fruits of karma to Krishna you are simply free from ups & downs & become eligible to be in supreme abode i.e. Peaceful & Happy.

Hari Bol.

Each day when I wake up, I just wake up in happiness that what more insights, what more revelations this book will give me that will just transform things. I hope you enjoyed this blog post. I simply wish the way “Gita” is bringing daily dose of happiness, it brings in your life as well, why to wait for this beautiful song from Krishna for us.

“As It Is”

I wonder that when I started this journey “As It Is”, that moment/day must be very special moment because it has taken an extremely beautiful and meaningful turn. I am reading this book at present and I am loving it. But why this book, it matches to my to the concept/philosophy that I have been exploring and the most important thing is that I clearly felt that life is too short and why not do that you really care for yourself and for others.

After battling for about 10 days with covid-19 infection, along with my husband was simply an eye opener. At one point, I felt that “Why this to me “? I again paused and listened the voice inside .”This could have been worse, at present you are in this much fitness that you can cook and clean”. This is not on ordinary situation, this deadly virus has taken millions of lives around the whole, businesses have turned upside down and yet you have survived so well.

To be very honest, this disease brought so much purification in my life, that I never thought of before. I feel that this is the right time to read the pre-ordered book and spread the awareness, that we are truly eternal entity. At present, I am reading the introduction part which is clear explanation that we are eternal beings.

“Faith can change, a Hindu may change faith to become Christian or Muslim or vice-versa but in all circumstances the change of religious faith doesn’t affect the eternal occupation of rendering services to others.“

I will be bring more good points (attached with possibly a story).Till then, I am attaching the two links to know more about book distribution or to order one. I hope visiting these links will provide will give the answers that you are looking for.

Hello Readers, I am back again to talk more about “As it is”. This time I am feeling “As it is ” is seeping deeply in me. I would elaborate in the sense my reaction level has gone down by 80%.
A story will support it. Today in morning, when my husband left to drop my elder son to school, so straightway as per my plan, I went outside to clean my car. I have been thinking about for long time. During the cleaning, the old recycled thoughts took over my mind that I did ask my husband to get that fully professional clean but he didn’t do it, then I observed it multiplied into fault finding process. I said to myself” Hang On”, I think, I should be just cleaning the car.

I should see the full picture as well. He loves cooking, he loves spending time with children, he takes care of kids homework. As soon as, I finished the chore, I checked my Instagram, I saw this quote.

“Taking responsibility of one own’s action is the step towards understanding Karma” by Dandapanillic.The quick acceptance of the way he is, mind is not reacting anymore, assisting to see the full picture. As the result, the introspective mind turned questions turning towards me, like the way I grew up or what type of personality I am, to be honest it was feeling very satisfactory & fulfilling inside instead of external factors, I was assessing internal factors.

There is one tool, I am using to develop focus which is beads. Every morning and evening I am chanting mantra on beads, this is helping me slowly build impeccable way of making sense of life. So, what is your story, anything you have recognised in your life to exercise “As it is”.

Eager to listen story, see pic or any video that you use to practice “As it is”. I am thinking to launch painting shop on “As it is” campaign, what you think.

Hello readers. Now back again to explore more “As it is”, so far I have been recognising this and developing my understanding on outer situations, didn’t apply much to myself. Now, I completely feel that things are changing a lot for me. I am standing at a point of time that it has become crucial for me to listen inwards ,spend more time with myself.

• 

Liberation, clarity, sense of fulfilment are already setting the path and by grace of shri Hari, the creation ability in me will flourish to a great extent. But what I am talking about, the story is that I always looked here and there to search myself, what I want to do, which is best career for me listened to everyone, straightaway followed them but ignored my inner voice.

This is so blissful, fearless feeling that leads to pure consciousness, without worrying about future, all because of I accepted “As it is” inwards. After 6(even before) months of continuous trying to get my feet on first step of Data Analysis job ladder, I realised that in all this, I totally forgot/ignored my skills, I already have in which, I truly put myself in. My writing, critical thinking, art all gives me sense of blessings. Hey shri Hari, I am so thankful to you are employing me in your service. I will definitely reveal more about it, when the work will be more progressive state.

What is your story? Have you experienced “As it is ” in yourself. Please like, comment or subscribe if you like this blog. Thank you so much for the love and support.
