5 actions of Life

Five Actions.

        The image represents all.

        What ordinary humans do? Eat, sleep, play(games or with someone's life), enjoy(moment or someone's weakness), study(not learning actually), etc...

        A few days ago, I was in the lecture and I thought What is perfect life? What are the deeds of a great soul who will achieve liberation? After spending 3-4 hours on various acts of humans, I concluded to this 5 actions. 

LEARN.

ACT.

HELP.

LOVE.

LIBERATE.

        Frankly telling, I am inspired by the teachings of Lord Krishna which are in Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta and incident of their own life. How great they lived! A mixture of everything. These 5 actions also came from them filtered by my intellect. So, according to my level of perception, these are the 5 stages of life. I will not be going to explain these stages. Everyone will understand according to his/her level of perception.

Rakshabandhan

Festivals are the celebration of togetherness the celebrations of being one of the family. Festival of Rakhi or Raksha Bandhan is one such major occasion.The festival is famous for its symbolization of love, care, duty and affection between brother and sister. The main focus point of this fest is “Rakhi” which is made of a sacred thread decorated with colorful stones and some other decoration materials. Sister ties rakhi around her brother’s wrist and make a wish of his good health and wealth, brother also take pledge to protect her during whole life whether the condition is good or bad. (Now, little laugh on your face) Nowadyas, Sisters are also getting gifts from "BHAIYAAS".

Basically, the festival is for Hindu religion but now all communities celebrate this festival in different customs so it is also known as secular and multicultural festival. In India, different states celebrate this sacred festival with different rituals. In Uttarakhand kumaon religion people change their janaue on that day and called it as Janopunyu and in Maharashtra the festival is celebrated as Narali Purnima or Shravani Purnima where Narali means coconut. In different parts of Maharashtra especially fishermen community offer Nariyal into sea to please God Varun (God of sea) and also they believe that new season of fishing starts on this day.

The festival has been celebrated in the same way with the same traditions for centuries. Only the means have changed with the changing lifestyles. There are so many famous rakhi stories. One of the famous rakhi story from history is about the Rani Karmavati of Chittor. Facing the threat of invasion from the Sultan of Gujarat, Bahadur Shah, she sent a rakhi to Humayun the Mughal Emperor asking him to save her family and her kingdom. A much moved Humayun, abandoned his on going military campaign in Bengal and rushed to her help, but was too late to save her. She and the women of the kingdom had preferred to immolate themselves rather than fall into the hands of the enemy.

Today, each and every person is so much involved in their own life so that they could not get time for their family and friends. This cultural festival helps us to realize the importance of our close ones. Raksha Bandhan is festival of brother and sister which brings both under one roof once in a year. It is a way to show feeling of love and care towards each other by performing some ritual things.

Simple Living, High Thinking..!!

Hello all, Mahatma Gandhi was once asked to describe an ideal life style and he responded by saying "Simple Living and High Thinking". I completely agree with his thoughts. Hey, did you ever tried, what Gandhiji has said? anyone?

Don’t worry. I never tried, too. But, Great men of the world have preached that simple living high thinking should be the golden principle of life. Most of the men in the annals of history have practiced this principle and achieved greatness. All the saints like Mahatma Gandhi, Guru Nanak and Buddha who attained spiritual greatness and shook the world by their intellectual thinking are example of this principle.

Simple living is the right way to live. One does not get lasting happiness by living a flashy lifestyle. We do not need branded clothes to wear or have wardrobes full of designer clothes. Simple fare would be far better than straining our system with huge variety of exotic food frequently. Partying every other night neither wins us lifelong friends nor does it permanently remove our boredom. To commute one does not need top end vehicles - I am not advocating public transport for those who can afford private transportation. However, no point in having huge fuel guzzling vehicles to move around.

We know that human wants are limitless. If psychologically encourage, these wants will multiply ad keep multiplying. They make the man a selfish salve from high thinking and bring him down to the narrow cycle of worldly pursuits. They affect adversely his devotion and concentration to higher ideals of life which mostly include service to fellow human beings.

But, if we were to reduce our needs to the bare minimum, we would start being less demanding on the precious and limited resources of the earth. We would start showing consideration for our fellow beings who may not be as well-endowed us. By reducing our demand, we would check inflation and help in making things more affordable for the poor.

High thinking is what will help us in our evolution path. Human beings are superior because we can think far better than other beings. We should make use of this faculty to probe further into the real purpose of our existence and what we need to do to reach our goals. High thinking also refers to rising above petty and mundane issues. As one’s spiritual growth increases, one tends to think about higher things and does not get trapped and lost in the usual worldly matters.

High thinking always needs time or leisure, knowledge, experience, patience, will, determination, discussions, clarifications, and guidance etc. Many factors like experience, education, knowledge, influence our thinking. Other people try to influence their thinking on us or try to enforce their thinking on us. We should have independent thinking. We should never have biased thinking. Then only we would be able to arrive at correct decisions or have our own opinion or conclusion on any matter. More we think more we realize. Behind any invention certainly there is thinking. Development, planning, improvement in the standard of living which have taken place in this world are all brainchild of high thinking only. Nothing could be done without thinking at all.  Anything done without thinking may end in failure or disaster.

So, at last want to say, be simple and be high thinker.

I would like to end my speech by saying one quote from Osho –

Just look all round; Look at the ocean, look at the sky; How can you manage not to be simple and not to be humble?

Why do I like South Korea ?

South Korea Political Map

        Korea was divided into two partitions in 1948 that is North Korea and South Korea. Since 1948, South Korea has developed into one of the Asia’s most affluent countries.

        I like South Korea because of what it selected in past. They selected to become a country where people can live peacefully, flowers can blossom and divinity of Buddhism can be experienced not like North Korea which has slipped into a totalitarianism and poverty.
South Korea, an East Asian nation on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula, shares one of the world’s most heavily militarized borders with North Korea. It’s equally known for its green, hilly countryside dotted with cherry trees and centuries-old Buddhist temples, plus its coastal fishing villages, sub-tropical islands and high-tech cities such as Seoul, the capital.

National Flag of South Korea

        The blue and red circle at the heart of the South Korea flag neatly symbolises the divided Korean Peninsula, but also fluid mix of the ancient and the modern in the country officially called the Republic of Korea(ROK), where the vast majority of visitors will spend their time.

        South Korea is also called as Republic of Korea(ROK). Korea might be known as the Land of the Morning Calm, but dive into its capital Seoul, the powerhouse of Asia’s third-largest economy, and serenity is the last thing you’ll feel. This round-the-clock city is constantly on the move, with its work-hard, play-hard population the epitome of the nation’s indefatigable, can-do spirit.
You can hardly turn a corner without stumbling across a tourist information booth, a subway station or a taxi in this multifaceted metropolis where meticulously reconstructed palaces rub shoulders with teeming night markets and the latest technological marvel. For all its headlong rush into the 21st century on a hallyu (Korean popular culture) wave, what charms me most about the South Korea is its proud promotion of age-old traditions and culture. I fondly recall meditating at a Buddhist temple retreat where the honk of traffic was replaced by the rhythmic predawn chants of shaven-headed monks; hiking along Seoul's 600-year-old city walls; and walking parts of the Jeju Olle Trail, connecting with history and island traditions on the way. My taste buds also tingle with the memory of one of Asia’s least known, but most delicious, cuisines. South Korea’s compact size and superb transport infrastructure mean that tranquillity can be found in easy reach of the urban sprawl. Hike to the summits of craggy mountains enclosed by densely forested national parks. Some of those same mountains transform into ski slopes come winter. Get further off the beaten path than you thought possible by sailing to remote islands, where farming and fishing folk welcome you into their homes and simple seafood cafes. Chill out in serene villages surrounded by rice fields, sleeping in rustic hanok (traditional wooden house) guesthouses. Rest assured the South Korea also knows how to rock. A packed calendar of festivals and events means there’s almost always a celebration of some sort to attend wherever you are – it might be Boryeong for its mud fest, or Gwangju for its Biennale or its annual salute to that most Korean of foods: kimchi. Friendly Koreans are always delighted to share their culture with visitors – often that means over a shared meal with a tantalising array of dishes and plenty of toasts with local alcoholic beverages.So, South Korea is my dream destination – an engaging, welcoming place where the benefits of a high-tech nation are balanced alongside a reverence for tradition and the ways of old Asia.
