Today is a new day

I vow to remember that today is a new day
Full of new beginnings and fresh moments
Today, I will not cling to events of yesterday nor yesteryear
But stay connected with what today brings.
I will not madly pursue my desires at the expense of others
Nor flee from challenging tasks.
I will remain true to the unfolding process of today
Without losing myself in thoughts of what was or what might be.
I will treat today with awareness and sensitivity
Even in the most ordinary of tasks.
I will apply myself wholeheartedly to the fullness of today
For I know that today holds the resource for authenticity.

Padma Sadhana - its importance

IMPORTANCE OF PADMA SADHANA I've been with yoga - off and on :D:D for various reasons... sometimes for health benefits, sometimes for tranquility. Yoga means a beautiful "Yog" or "union" of mind, body and soul. There are various padvatis or forms or paddhatis of yoga giving various benefits and experiences (Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga etc), and would like to highlight the importance of Padmasadhna here. Padma Sadhana is a sequence of yoga asanas specially designed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar for the DSN (Divya Samaj Nirman) Course. Padma means lotus and Sadhana means effort. In the Agama tradition, it is said that the Devi (Goddess) sits on a 5 layered seat or asana. The base of this seat is a tortoise, which represents stability. The second layer is the snake, which rep resents awareness. Above the snake sits the lion, it symbolizes grace. Above the lion sits the Siddha, The Perfect Sage. And above the perfect sage sits the lotus, the symbol of full blo...

Mai atoot pyaas tu jheel hai - I am the seeker, Thou the ocean

Oh! I just came across these beautiful lines today at a divine Satsang and could not help but putting them across :) Something very close to my heart <3 :) Na sabut hai na daleel hai, mere sath mera rabbe-jaleel hai. Teri rehmaton mein koi kami nahi, meri ehtiyat mai dheel hai. Kaun juda kar sake hame, mai atoot pyas tu jheel hai" which roughly translates to ....(on request - any better suggestions are welcome :) "There is no evidence, nor is there any debate, God is for sure with me, There is no dearth in His generosity, its me who's the careless.. There is no force which can separate us, I am the Seeker, Thou The Ocean " Om Namah bhagwate vasudevayah

Life is really too short to be insignificant

I have forgiven mistakes that were indeed almost unforgivable. I've tried to replace people who were irreplaceable and tried to forget those who were unforgettable. I've acted on impulse, have been disappointed by people when I thought that this could never be possible. But I have also disappointed those who I love. Life is too short to be insignificant - Charlie Chaplin I have laughed at inappropriate occasions. I've made friends that are now friends for life. I've screamed and jumped for joy. I've loved and I've been loved. But I have also been rejected and I have been loved without loving the person back. I've lived for love alone and made vows of eternal love. I've had my heart broken many, many times! I've cried while listening to music and looking at old pictures. I've called someone just to hear their voice on the other side. I have fallen in love with a smile. At times, I thought I would die because I missed someone so much. At oth...
