MAN.TRAS,,

Mantras..invoke inner strength...

If you ever happen to observe a quiet and slight movement of a Buddhist lips,rest assured he is reciting the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hun"
These four powerful words are used to invoke and hail the precious Lotus(Buddha).And their magic on the reciter s mind is instant and soothing.
Buddhism lays great importance on the need to recite mantras ,anytime and as much as possible.In sanskrit,"man"means 'mind" and "tra"means "freeing".
So,mantras are a sure means to free your mind of all redundant and evil thoughts ,so that you have a clear mind that you can convert into a depository of kindness,compassion,good thoughts and positive feelings.All this will keep you on the right track to make life more purposeful.


Robin S. Sharma,author of The Monk who sold his Ferrari,calls mantras your 'best companion."It keeps you busy and your mind free of evil thoughts.
if,ever you are in a situation where you are scared for your dear life,mantras give you enough strength to cast aside any kind of fear perception.
Mantras have the power to keep you confident and cheerful..When you feel down n out ,recite the mantras of your choice.
Your mind invokes your inner strength  to overpower all kinds of depressive thoughts and lets you come out as a winner.Once that happens you are in a position to think of the more beautiful aspects of life and you soon find happiness.
Gurus tell us that the only limit you have is the limit you impose on yourself.You are what you think.You become what you think you can.
That clearly shows the power of words.And mantras are nothing but a combination of words that you can coin on your own to suit your individual needs

.
Repeat your favourite mantra a hundred times wenevr you feel the enemy within you is threatening you.Its your mind that is reflected on your face,and your mind is influeneced by words.In times of crisis,if you can assure and reassure yourself that you can overcome a problem,then you can.
As they say,faith moves mountains.Your mind too has the capacity to deal with any kind of possibility.But these capabilities have to be invoked,nurtured and made use of.The problem with most of us is that we underestimate our own capabilities.Haven't the sages told us that to create a beautiful 'outside' you have to first create a beautiful'inside'? and that is perfectly within your reach and capacity.Words and Will help you acheive that...!!!

Sufi Music

Sufi music,that has taken the art scene by storm in the last few years,has remained steadfast since the 10th century.Transcending all religions its a link bridging God and the devotees.that takes you far away from materialism.The music is synonymous with serenity,mental peace and divine power,which is a symbol of truth.The word originates from an arabic word,Sufi,which means pure.The music began with the Chistia order in Khorasan and spread its tranquil musical high all over the world.It is attracting the new generation at the international level breaking barriers as an example of unity in diversity.

'Qawwali'recitation is a traditional part of sufi music that expresses an ecstatic feeling of love.This form of music recital is based on ragas and has classical patterns...with a soothing effect of love for God.Hazrat Aamir khusrau,Baba bulle Shah and Kabir are major exponents...what they penned is still able to liven up peoples sinking hearts..The reciation of qawaali  is in praise of God or a saint is a distinctive como of harmonium,tabla and dholak..and is sung  primarily in Awadhi,Brij Persian and Punjabi...The repetitive clapping in sync is spell binding and throws the audience into a trance...In particular the compositions of Aamir Khusrau are great favourites with the musical public because they are written in sweet,simple yet highly p[oetical languageand speak of his love of God and guru (Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia)with great intensity and pasion..These songs are the gift of the soil of Delhi to the world.They are both deeply personal and completely universal in spirit,exactly like God-love..Perhaps thats why they are so popular in today 's crazy world of stress.

Taken for Granted

Two things determine the success of a relationship..How much each of you give and how little each of you take for granted.

Do we really expect  more and give much less…?

R we not worthy of being someone’s first choice even after all the sacrifices??

And, Despite all the hurt,the pain nd d grudge.still .if we r calm n quite.. …wat wud it really be like?

That really means tat our love is more precious nd beautiful than and is above par…rest all can be rectified with tyme ,prayers and  support..But,will it be a lesson fr the other one?? ..ya more ignorance hitherto…sensing tat it makes no difference to u.. thereby..u never know.

Wud  He/She really understand ur cravings,ur demands,ur craziness to be with Him/her..as ur first nd foremost choice..!!!

Not really.

If he wud have understood the depth n sanctity .He wud have never made u an option rather u wud ve been His choice..

We r afraid to accept the fact that we fr sure r taken for granted by the ones whom we love the most..

They knw we r there…no matter what.

they knw they wud be forgiven..no matter wat..

And they knw they wud be loved …no matter wat..!!!

The one whom u chose…has other choices as well…and we have to accept it.

This reminds me of sumthing I read few days ago…”the footwears we wear  r sold in showrooms nd the vegetables n fruits tat our body n soul needs r sold on footpaths n railings”’..!!!!

We ignore the caress of those ..who make us feel important..we take them for granted.
We do seek forgiveness to make each other comfortable..

Is seeking forgiveness justified??to wat extent?? Often, we make a mistake and then try to justify it, because we don’t want to feel guilty. And this justification, does not remove the guilt because you know the justification is superficial. It makes you guiltier. It goes on and deep inside, it keeps distorting your behaviour. Be really guilty, feel it 100%, and that pain, that guilt, that sadness itself, becomes like a meditation..and arises a passion fr the one whom u wanna rest ur shoulder upon…it relaxes ur soul..mind nd fr sure ur heart. 

Make a promise with your sweetheart.. make him/her feel special..let not his life be taken for granted by you.He /she is precious than nything else..
Say a promise,"I promise to be there for you,when you need me,I promise to hug you tight when you are lonely.I promise to keep you,not for the rest of my life but for the rest of yours because you are my everything."

You don't know what you have until its gone, so don't take anything for granted because it could be gone in a blink of an eye...
