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 other times, I felt very afraid that I might lose someone very special. But I have lived! And I still continue living everyday.
I'm not just passing through life and you shouldn't either Live!

The best thing in life is to go ahead with all your plans and your dreams, to embrace life and to live everyday with passion, to lose and
still keep the faith and to win while being grateful. All of this because the world belongs to those who dare to go after what they want. And because life is really too short to be insignificant.

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

Revitalizing your chakras - Sun Salutations

Surya Namaskars Vitalize one's Chakras How many rounds do you do? Oh! and as many people asked, what is the best time to do Surya Namaskars? Well, the best time is at Dawn when the Sun rises, but that doesn't mean that you cannot do it in the evenings. Start at a suitable time, get your body going, and then move to a morning time.. Howzat! A lot of people have posted to write something about steps and collective information here :) I found some useful information on the web, which I am consolidating here: Surya Namaskara ( IPA: [su:rjɐ nɐmɐskɐ:rɐ] ; Sanskrit : सूर्य नमस्कार ; IAST : Sūrya Namaskāra ) also known in English as Sun Salutation (lit. "salute to the sun") is a common sequence of asanas . Its origins lie in a worship of Surya , the Hindu solar deity . This sequence of movements and asanas can be practised on varying levels of awareness, ranging from that of physical exercise in various styles, to a complete sadhana which incorporates
