Rishikesh...

RISHIKESH
[A RELIGIOUS PLACE OF INDIA]

Lord shiva stopped the pace,
of Holy Ganges in his hairs in this place,
so it was named Rishikesh[ hairs of a saint]
Laxman Jhula[swing] stands firm,
to cross the devotees to Neelkanth[holy temple]
Ram Jhula makes the pilgrimmage more confirm,
Neel dhara[ blue stream] dances wayward,
Gita Bhawan is far more forward,
Swarg Ashram is more holy,
to shelter the persons totally,
Holy Ganges enlightens us,
by its holy touch of purity,
it bears the essence of several medicinal plants,
its Gangajal is our grants,
jingling of bells , sounds of shells,
chanting of mantras, in the holy dells,
Transports us to religious bliss
Go there once, don`t miss

Silence...

Dr. Ram Sharma, India

SILENCE
You,
Me,

And between us a silence,
Why don`t you speak?
The rising and falling of your eyelids,
Your sweet laugh,
Your rhythm of breath,
Your fragrance,
Breaks this silence

Death is new life...

DEATH IS NEW LIFE
A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA , INDIA
Nature has always new to offer us
we see new sunny rising daily
we see blossoming of flowers
we see colourful birds flying across deep blue sky
we become older day by day
one day death will grab us
then will be the new beginning
of this older body

O! Lord Krishna...

O! LORD KRISHNA
A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA ,
O! Lord Krishna,
O! enchanter of the world
hynotise me by holding my hand
hold the chariot of my life
be my charioteer
be with me
in the battle of modern Mahabharata
why are you not coming ???
come and bless us
by your sermon of Gita

Arise.. awake... bliss...

ARISE --AWAKE --BLISS
A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA , INDIA
Do you guess about the waves
only by sitting on the sea-shore
dip deep into meditative sea of life
hear the music of nature
how they can be blessed
they were not able to hear the music
of the flute of wind
they were not able to see

the hide and seek of clouds
inhabit your own city of love
among the corridors of hatred

Laugh once...

Dr. ram Sharma, India

Poem

LAUGH ONCE

LAUGH ONCE
Give up the ways of malice,
laugh only once,

adopt the ways of humanity,
become a man once,
eradicate castism,
become a man,
show humanity once,
get fragrance from an orchard,
become cold in moonlight,
laugh once

Please bless us...

Please bless us
A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA , INDIA

o! God we are your offspring
all offspring are not the same
we have committed so many sins
knowingly and unknowingly
Thou are omniscient
Thou are omnipotent

Thou are omnipresent
give us a place
at your lotus feet

You are everywhere....

YOU ARE EVERYWHERE
by Dr Ram Sharma

YOU twinkle in my memory like stars,
You falls from my eyes in the shape of drops,

You comes to me as unfogotten dream,
You are string of invisible relationship,
You have your presence on my life`s board,
You are source of happiness and sadness,
You are not here and there,
You are everywhere

Love...

LOVE
A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA
Love is the dscending zigzag river from high mountains
love is ardent desire of river to meet the occean
love is violent waves colliding with the hard stones
love is fragrant rose amidst thorns
love is humble prayers of Almighty
love is love for all

Help others...

Its not important what you achieve but what you give. No need for open throat for self -appraisal than to be silently helping others . FEEL THE BLISS OF HELP-----OF OTHERS .-----------------------------

Good Morning....

Good Morning
A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA
After the slumber
arose dawn from darkness
vibrations of positivity
mild red sweet light everywhere
rays awaking men
bathing of the day in merriment
sweet lull echo of music
dance of buds and leaves

one wave merging into other
to say
GOOD MORNING

the true yogi... heart constantly sings...

No matter which way you turn a compass, its needle points to the north. So it is with the true yogi. Immersed he may be in many activities, but his mind is always on the Lord. His heart constantly sings: “My God, my God, most lovable of all!”

—Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

Forget the past....

Forget the past. The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the Divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now.”
~ Sri Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri ji

E Mere Watan

E MERE WATAN
A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA , INDIA
mathe par na hai tanik bhi shikwa shikan
kat rahe apne hi rishto ka gost
or pee rahe lahoo -e- chaman
darindigi ki mita di sab rekhaye
sirf aya paar lootne or kamane hi aaye
kahan gaya wo mera madare watan
jinko apni jaan se pyara tha chaman

pursuits of man's life.. occur in Divine Will...

All the spiritual, moral and cognitive

pursuits of man’s life occur in Divine

Will, therefore, he has no power to

choose for the attainment of liberation

or degeneration into hell; involvement

in worldly elusion or devotion to God;

realization of knowledge or

remaining in ignorance.

(Guru Granth Sahib}

the eternal quest... for something else...

Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda:

• Mankind is engaged in an eternal quest for that ‘something else’ he hopes will bring him happiness, complete and unending.
• For those individual souls who have sought and found God, the search is over: He is that Something Else.

after prior preparation through life... the study and practice of Yoga begins..

Now, after having done prior preparation through life and other practices, the study and practice of Yoga begins.
(atha yoga anushasanam)-- Patanjali Sutra 1

The eight bondages...hatred, shame, fear, grief, condemnation, race prejudice, pride of family and smugness..

The eight bondages or snares are hatred, shame, fear, grief, condemnation, race prejudice, pride of family and smugness. Removal of the eight bondages leads to magnanimity of the Heart.

~ Shri Yukteswar

There is one thing that can never become stale to you-- "Joy" itself..

Even if life gave you at one time everything you wanted .. wealth, power, friends .. after a while you would again become dissatisfied and need something more.
But there is one thing that can never become stale to you — 'Joy' itself.
Happiness that is delightfully varied, though its essence is changeless, is the inner experience everyone is seeking. 'Lasting, Ever New Joy Is God'. Finding this Joy within, you will find it in everything without. In God you will tap the Reservoir of perennial, unending 'Bliss'.

Excerpts from the writings of Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

Can a mind which is caught in endless becoming be aware of bliss?

A result means an ending; arrival implies

another effort to become. The mind is never

at rest, it is always striving, always achieving,

always gaining – and, of course, always in

fear of losing. Can a mind which is caught

in endless becoming be aware of bliss?

Through effort and struggle, through resistance

and denials, the mind makes itself insensitive;

and can such a mind be open and vulnerable?

(J. Krishnamurti)

Spiritual Jewels....

SPIRITUAL JEWELS
A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA , INDIA
O! Dear
why you just remain on the worldly shore
and collect mamonistic pebbles
collect unnumbered pearls and jewels
in the fathom of spirituality
plunge into it
gather as many as you want
there are wonderous pearls of love and peace
there is no lust , anger or malice
do not chase the mundane pleasure
merge into Cosmic Oneness
radiant in the spiritual jewels

the Path differs indeed for different pilgrims...

He alone knows to whom He will reveal Himself under which form. By what path and in what manner He attracts any particular man to Himself with great force is incomprehensible to the human intellect. The Path differs indeed for different pilgrims.

~ Sri Anandamoyi Ma

Reality has no continuity... it is from moment to moment...

Reality has no continuity; it is

from moment to moment,

ever new, ever fresh. What has

continuity can never be creative.

Reality is not to be spoken of; and

when it is, it is no longer reality.

(J. Krishnamurti)

I am the smile on the faces of flowers and in each soul.--Paramahansa Swami Yogananda

Human society exists because it is impossible for us to live in isolation...

Human society exists because

it is impossible for us to live in

isolation. Since we must live

together we should do so with

a positive attitude of concern

for one another.

(Dalai Lama)

O! Unparalleled Patience, silent before an indifferent world!

Thou art meekly waiting to reveal to

all men Thy presence within them.

O Unparalleled Patience, silent before

an indifferent world! Bestow on me

Thy greathearted forbearance. Let me

never retaliate when people wound

me with unkindness.

(Sri Paramahansa Yogananda)

rise above love and hate, tyranny and oppression, wealth and want..

You rise above love and hate, tyranny

and oppression, wealth and want,

and regard your own fate with impartial

calmness and perfect tranquility.

(Lord Buddha)

Happy Vasant Panchami...

January 28, 2012... om Saraswati namoh namah... annual spring festival...

be joyous in spite of all adverse circumstances...

May we be secretly joyous in spite of

all adverse circumstances, knowing

that happiness is our birthright, our

divine “buried treasure”. Guide us

to find in the soul the riches

beyond the dreams of kings.

(Sri Paramahansa Yogananda)

a chastening mirror...

Let me not indulge in fits of selfish vexation

that alienate from me the affection of my

loved ones. Whenever I am rageful,  place

Thou before me a chastening mirror in

which to see myself made ugly by passion.

(Sri Paramahansa Yogananda)

keep a balanced mind... always...cool and calm...

Always try to keep the mind cool and calm.

Keep a balanced mind under all conditions.

Who can keep a balanced mind at all times

is really a strong and happy man.

(Swami Sivananda)

Rope and snake... so it is...

The way we believe, the reality is not so.

A king on his throne, in dream becomes

beggar; his invincible kingdom taken,

he suffers – so is our state. Rope and

snake, so it is; now I know the secret a

little; speaking, I have naught left to say.

(Guru Ravidas)
