A memorable event from 2017 ( Archives of The Mind )

Must share this before I sleep - a beautiful though small experience .

I fell in love again ............!!

With that bond I share with animals ( and with humans who respond) .

Was part of an event At DLF's CYBERHUB in Gurgaon 

For those of you who may not know CYBERHUB is a place full of eating joints and cafeterias. Now , most of such places , attract our connoisseur friends , the stray dogs and cats , who love the tit bits and left overs that come out of these places and make it their habitat . 

One such stray came and made himself comfortable at the entrance of the event site as he had time to kill between the hours of breakfast and lunch . 

He was sitting there peacefully minding his own business . Unknown to him he was causing agitation in the humans around who wanted him out . They called the security guard to get him removed only to be informed that DLF has rule not to chase away and traumatise these squatters . (Salute DLF ) 

So yours truly , offered to help with his gentle persuasion techniques and the following conversation ensued (actually ) : 

Me: " Hello Buddy ! 

Dog: ( Tail wag ) - Look : Yes ? ! 

Me : You know you are not wanted here ( Puch Puch ) so please to avoid problems shift to that place . Come I will show you ! Please come " 

That dog just got up and followed me to the place indicated much to the surprise of the onlookers .

Unbelievable but true ! 

( That it saved my self esteem and didn't make me a laughing stock was a bonus ) 

Had it been a human there could have been argument / justification / resistance .

To me this was another incident to valdate my beliefs

Thoughts matching an expression

#The #Catalyst 

" Nobody thinks of me so I don't exist and am a Dead Person Walking " 

" My Boss is unhappy with me " 

" I just can't get anything right at work " 

" My colleagues are set against my success " 

" That person truly loves me " 

" God is a figment of imagination " 

" My joy knows no bounds " 

Etc Etc ad nauseum.......

One could go on ....

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the various Scenes , Acts and Screenplay  humans are constantly creating at different levels and the Permutations and Combinations are a multiple of the number of thinking humans that exist .

And you say Humans are not Creative ? ( and I don't mean in a biological sense - that would add yet another dimension )

Each and everyone is constantly creating and thinking out of the box does not need cultivation - it is thriving and  existing since the time Adam and Eve adopted the pose with the leaf ! 

We are only led to believe that it is to be imported from outside but all it needs is an attention to our Natural Self.

Be You , not intimidated by externals and discover the natural flow .

See how merrily the waters of the river make their way to the Ocean NATURALLY  following the path of least resistance .

Musing

Just musing about the  human situation based on personal experience 

Think of how the Island must be feeling in the middle of the Ocean .

Standing by itself - surrounded by the vast waters unconnected to the larger  land mass of which it is a replica ! 

Sometimes it shimmers like an emerald and at other times it becomes just a looming shape !

To reach it we have to make bridges or cross the waters by boat or ship wondering if  the reception would be friendly or repelling . Will the coastline be a smooth bay or craggy rocks ? 

Most importantly , even in its solitude , its features and natural resources continue to thrive and if it does weep the tears are hidden in the mass of waters around ! 

It is self sufficient and stands there proudly !

The Creators

Reminds me of a story I read years ago 

=====

A priest passing on a road saw a wounded person in the ditch on the side of the road 

Remembering the teachings of his Faith he felt it his duty to offer help and succour .

He proceeded to do so and in the process asked

 " Who are you ? "

" I am the Devil " was the reply.

The man of God jumped back in horror and said 

" I can't help you ! You are the enemy " 

As he walked away the Devil said 

" Come back ! If you let me die so will your profession ! You will have nothing to save the people from " 

And therein lies a school of thought !

Very Good Jokes

I say - 😁😁😁😁😁

 It must have been a 

#Very #Good #Joke !!!

Old Story #1

A man was ushered into a room where a group of people was laughing their heads off as some of them were mentioning a random number .

Intrigued, the visitor asked for an explanation and was told " These are the Tellers of Jokes and having oft repeated them have reduced them to serial numbers which when said brings instant recall which helps saves time ! " 

Just then one of the group said  " twenty-seven " and they all ROFL but when they settled down one guy continued laughing .

Visitor : What happened to him ? 

Guide : Oh he may have heard it for the first time ! 

I say - 😁😁😁😁😁

 It must have been a

Four legged brethren

Verse in appreciation of our four legged bretheren 

=====

I met this guy on the street 

He was looking at my feet 

I asked " What ails you brother ? "

His reply was in a language another 

Bow ! Wow ! ( Barking )

Translation : 

Bow i offer to the Creator 

Wow is for the breath of Nature 

Which makes me find all that I need 

People who voluntarily do me feed ! 

Then he seemed to ask : 

What  ails  YOU  Brother ? 

Your step is heavy , plodding along 

Your brow is creased ,face is long 

Here ' s a  paw , get de-stressed

Trust that , like me , You are Blessed 

So much said and so much learned 

Exchange of energy without a word 

Brought me to the realisation 

It's not speech but the  right vibration

Laughing Together - 4

Just a small funny story to try and emphasise on the importance of having a  #PlanB  in life's situation

===========

  A puny frail fellow having had a couple at the local bar went out and found that someone had painted graffiti on his car ! Realising it must have  been someone from inside he swaggered in to the best of his ability and menacingly demanded to know who had done it ! 

A huge body builder type got onto his feet and looking down on our hero admitted to have done it 

Mark you , his tone had under currents of " So what are you going to do about it ? " 

The hero , quickly ' sized '  up the situation but not to appear a coward ( and still being a bit under the influence of the couple he had taken ) asked 

" Did you do that on purpose  or was it a joke ? " 

The big guy ( deepening the underline to ' what are you going to do about it ' ) said " I did it on purpose " 

Our Hero , showing great presence of mind ( #PlanB ) said : 

" Good , because I don't like jokes like that ! " 

And beat a dignified retreat 😊😊

Mystery from Ancient Times

Very interesting - Can you guess what is common between all these prominent temples.

1. Kedarnath

2. Kalahashti

3. Ekambaranatha- Kanchi

4. Thiruvanamalai

5. Thiruvanaikaval

6. Chidambaram Nataraja

7. Rameshwaram

8. Kaleshwaram N-India

Very interesting - Can you guess what is common between all these prominent temples.

If your answer is they all are Shiva temples, you are only partially correct.

It is actually the longitude in which these temples are located.

They all are located in 79° longitudes. What is surprising and awesome is that how the architects of these temples many hundreds of kilometres apart came up with these precise locations without GPS or any such gizmo like that.

1. Kedarnath 79.0669°

2. Kalahashti 79.7037°

3. Ekambaranatha- Kanchi 79.7036°

4. Thiruvanamalai 79.0747°

5. Thiruvanaikaval 78.7108

6. Chidambaram Nataraja 79.6954°

7. Rameshwaram 79.3129°

8. Kaleshwaram N-India 79.9067°

See the picture -- all are in a straight line.

You will be surprised to know that there are Shiva temples in India which are built in a straight line from Kedarnath to Rameswaram. Wonder what science and technology we had with our ancestors, which we could not understand till today? The Kedarnath of Uttarakhand, the Kaleshwaram of Telangana, Kalahasti of Andhra Pradesh, Akhaseshwar of Tamil Nadu, Chidambaram and finally the Rameswaram temples have been built in the geographical straight line of  or nearer to that of 79 ° E 41 ' 54 "Longitude.

All these temples represent the expression of gender in the 5 elements of nature, which we call the punch Tatwa (FIVE Elements) in common language. Punch tatwa i.e. Earth, water, fire, air and space. These has released these five Shiva LINGAS on the basis of five elements. 

1. Water is represented at Thiruvnanakwal Temple, 

2. The representation of the fire is in Thiruvannamalai, 

3. The air is represented in Kalahasti, 

4. The earth is represented in Kanchipuram and in the cold 

5. The space or the sky is represented at Chidambaram Temple! These five temples represent the wonderful mating of Vastu-Vigyan-Veda.

The speciality is also found in these temples in a geographical manner. These five temples were built according to yoga Science, and have been placed in a certain geographical alignment with each other. There will certainly be science that will affect the human body.

These temples were constructed about four thousand years ago when there was no satellite technology available to measure the latitude and longitude of those places. So how was the five temples so accurately established? God Only Knows.

There is a distance of 2383 km between Kedarnath and Rameswaram. But all these temples fall in almost the same parallel line. After all, thousands of years ago, the technology of which these temples have been built in a parallel line is a mystery to this day. The Shimmer lamp in the Srikalahasti temple shows that it Represent AIR Linga. The water spring in the inner plateau of the Thiruvanikka temple shows that Represent WATER-Linga. The huge lamp on the Annamalai hill shows that Represent FIRE-Linga. The Sawanbhu Linga of the sands of Kanchipuram shows that Represent the EARTH Linga and the incorporeal (NIRAKAR) state of Chidambaram is Representing as the incorporeal, heavens(AKASH) Eather element of God.

What is more surprising now is that the five Lingas, representing the five elements of the universe, have been installed centuries ago in a similar line. We should be proud of our ancestors ' knowledge and Intelligence that they had a science and technology that did not even distinguish modern science. It is believed that it is not only the five temples but also the many temples in this line which lie in the straight line from Kedarnath to Rameswaram. This line is also called the "SHIVA SHAKTI AKSH Rekha". It is likely to be made by keeping the entire temple of Kailash in the regions which falls in 81.3119 ° E!? The answer only God Knows.. ...

Amazing thing. Mahakal What is the relationship between the Shiva Jyotirlingams......??

The distance of the remaining Jyotirlingams from Ujjain is also interesting-

Ujjain to Somnath-777 km

Ujjain to Omkareshwar-111 km

Ujjain to Bhimashankar-666 km

Kashi Vishwanath from Ujjain-999 km

From Ujjain, Mallikarjun-999 km

Kedarnath from Ujjain-888 km

Ujjain to Tryanbakeshwar-555 km

Ujjain to Baijnath-999 km

Rameswaram-1999 km from Ujjain

From Ujjain to Nauseshwara-555 km

There was nothing in Hinduism without any reason.

Ujjain is considered to be the centre of the Earth. As a centre for thousands of years in Sanatan Dharma, a man-made instrument for calculating the sun and astrology in Ujjain has also been created about 2050 years ago.

And when the imaginary line on Earth Imaginary was created by the British scientist about 100 years ago, the central part of it was Ujjain. Even today, scientists come to Ujjain to know about the sun and space.

#The #Essential #Vikaas 

If you have never marvelled at the awesome symmetry , design and colour combination of Creation this might be good place to start . 

Look at the butterflies and moths and bumblebees 

The sunrise and sunsets and the patterns of leaves 

The flowers , their petals and dew - drops upon them 

The clouds making shapes to create your dreams 

The chorus of crickets singing Ave Maria at dusk 

And the moon and the stars twinkling above 

These are just some things you tend to notice 

When love for life motivates your vision 

Look upon all with love in your eyes !
