faith

Faith is the thread God wound in our souls before we entered the mortal body --it was the umbilical cord connecting us to the cosmic energy. he sent a small part of his self with us and it is no small wonder that when we connect to the faith we are at peace. we return to the womb--the womb of cosmos when we were free and soulful. Now caught in a body and fetterred by desires and vasnas we forget and cease to be the soul we are; we feel no longer God's hand that follows us. We cry in despair every day, lamenting the trivia when God has a bigger design for us. it is this faith that remains of Him in us and without it we are derelicts on this planet. In faith we shall be salvaged.

sanchita.........

there is a vaccuum my dear. you have gone so unexpectedly...my words like my soul seem frozen and no lamentations spring forth either.

my tirupati experience

after my panel discussion- which was about bhakti and its contribution to wellness, this concert followed. i too had concluded with a kabir bhajan and so did these artists. they are the eminent dhrupad singers- gundecha brothers from bhopal. you just have to click this button and whatever i recorded would come alive for you. give it a shot.

PRAYERS SENT YOUR WAY

dear god, i hope you will visit our blog today, because this is urgent.
there is a soul so beautiful caught in an ailing body,
it has not lived its share of happiness yet,
it hasn't had time to paint the world in a hue only it knows,
this soul has sung songs of your glory in pain,
it has celebrated your world in darkness,
let it not pass thru this world unknown.
you have more sense than this, to take a life with a purpose as glorious as you.

yours sincerely

a rose from my garden for you

this my dear friend is a rose that blossomed in my garden. no longer it lives except in my photograph of it. but i did want to share the image with you. a symbol of friendship, hope and brightness...

a part of my time goes this way...

this video will give you an insight my dears. i love the energy of the dogs and though am unable to train them right now, i take from them the sense of fun and activity. but apart from that no serious singing work is happening. i did of course get my second tanpura here as well today.

PARENTAL PLIGHT

getting my child to find a school is becoming a block----it is blocking all the energy, time i have and soon money will flow that way too. there are examining bodies to decide on first, then the schools and finally who will let u in. middle class typically spends a large share of its earning on childs education, therefore the need to invest time in this exercise.
the school matters but just how much i am not sure.
in my childhood all that the parents ever did was to take the little one for interview sessions to schools in the vicinity but today my cousin is willing to shift into a rented accommodation next to a good school. all good schools are nestled in certain neighborhoods as if kids across can do without quality education.
the thing to go for is I.B. EDUCATION, now look at the fuuny side---only four schools with I.B in all of delhi and gurgaon or lets say gurgaon and vicinity.
i musrt go to isha who is out of bed now.
