Legend of Prince Rama

Praise be to the Lord Almighty whose name let even rocks float on the ocean! Vijaydashmi marks the victory of Lord Shri Raam over Ravan.. The imagery of this final part of the Ramayan is beautifully reflected in these words by Romesh C. Dutta.

Still the dubious battle lasted, until Rama in his ire,

Wielded Brahma's wrathful weapon flaming with fire,

The weapon that Agastya had unto the hero given,

Winged as lightening dart of Indra, the fatal bolt of heaven,

Wrapped in smoke and flaming flashes, speeding from the bow,

Pierced the nectarian navel of Ravan, laid the demon low,

Voice of blessings from the sky fell on Raghu's valiant son,

'Champion of the True and Righteous, thy noble task is done!'

Beautiful words that capture the essence of the battle.. the vivid teachings from our epics all guide us to walk on the right path.. only by serving the path of righteousness we can achieve the Lord..

'Mann se Ravan jo nikale Raam uske mann mein hain!!'

The Journey of Life

Sometimes it feels reality is just an illusion and 'free-will' a charade created by the Gods to mislead us into a sense of having control over our life..

We are victims of Causalty, the slaves of Karma, all along trudging the path charted for us by destiny...

We may try to escape by surrounding ourselves with others, by drowning ourselves in a sea of humanity.. but all the time the emptiness inside our heart just keeps on growing...

Perhaps every life is just an arduous journey to a solitary destination...

Each path in life is lonely, but then... you need not walk it alone!!

Michhami Dukkadam :)

For those who r wondering what it is, its the beautiful Jain tradition of asking for forgiveness from all and granting forgiveness to all at the end of the Samvatsar each year..

It is so difficult and painful to hold someone out of your heart.. how can u hold on to that pain, that resentment even a moment longer? Let go of ur fears, ur doubts and for this moment, this point in time, touch them with ur forgiveness and allow urself to be forgiven..

I forgive all living beings i have interacted with; May all of them forgive me...

Mikshamami Dushkritam :o)

Bought the first book in NMIMS :P

Words are all I have..

As I officially start my blog today, was wondering why does one write on a public platform?

Is it the desire to pen down ur feelings.. the ones u r too scared to share wid anyone else? there is a strange comfort in writing down all you feel here…u don’t mind if some random person stumbles upon ur most intimate secrets.. coz there are words u cannot say, feelings u cannot express and guards u cant let down when u r talking to people in person.. u strive to maintain that image of invincibility and try to protect urself from the reactions of those around u..

Sometimes u just want to be kind… not wishing to drown ur dear ones in ur sorrows.. u might not even want to accept that u r feeling low.. not willing to accept that whenver u feel u hv got over a particular phase of life, a single thought can bring it all back crashing on ur head.. numbing u into silence.. pushing u into d oblivion..

A random thought, a random fragrance, a random look from a stranger may bring out that which u had hidden in the deepest recesses of ur soul for an eternity.. the walls that u had built around u come crumbling down with just one glimpse of a picture, one hello from that voice and one memory of that touch.. ur eyes sting as the tears try to force their way out.. u may not be able to share it with anyone.. but u may write.. and write again to let it all out.. to relive it again and again.. to never let it go..

For all that u are today and all that u will be tomorrow.. is a result of all that u have been in the past.. it is a mixture of all ur feelings, all ur hurts, all ur happiness.. all d good and d bad times.. all that loneliness and d occasional smiles.. all the devotion and an occasional deceit.. all d words said in anger and d ones said in passion.. its who u are.. its who u have been.. and its who u will become tmrw..
