The pure of heart delight in the Garden of God


A classical photo of Naini Lake by an unknown photographer

When a human reduces concerns, thoughts and desires of worldly things the heart becomes pure and then one begins to find greater pleasure in nature than in man made things, even man made gardens for the garden planted by God or Mother Earth, a part of Him, is far more beautiful.

It is not just mystics and spiritual person who delight in forests, wild fields, lakes and streams but all who have unburdened their souls for such places nourish the soul. Of all wild countryside, it is mountain ones that are most beautiful because from a mountain side one has a vast view of this garden of God as compared to a forest on the plains.

Of all mountain forested areas the ones in the central portion of Nainital Himalayas are some the most beautiful because here the mountain is full of undergrounds streams that create many lakes and lush green countryside. Three roads from the plains lead to Nainital town, One via Kaladhungi, the other two pass through Kathgodam and then split at Rani Bagh into two roads one via the middle and the other via Bhim Tal. It is the middle road that is the greenest because here the mountain is full of underground rivers that produce many springs and streams and lush green hillsides.

Mother Earth loves and nurtures all her children, all life that dwells upon it. Dear reader will you bring a gift to mother earth in the new year? Perhaps an adornment for her dress by planting some trees or flowers in the wilderness or even at home?

The spirit of Mother Earth runs through the goddess personified as Naini Mata in Nainital and the Mountain Nanda Devi higher up. Hail Mother Goddess.

The Goddesses Nanda and Sunanda of Kumaon

S ome of the earliest mentions of divine Nanda and Sunanda are found in ancient Sanskrit texts. It cannot be confirmed if these references have any connection with more recent worship of these goddesses in Kumaon region but they deserve mention for the probable origin of these glorious goddesses. The Bhāgavata Purāna also known as Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, is one of the Puranic texts of Sanskrit literature. It includes  many stories well known in Vedic tradition. The text credits Veda Vyasa, the revered ancient sage, with its authorship. Here is a verse from this text,  “ Also, Srutadeva, Uddhava and others, Nanda, Sunanda and other leaders of liberated souls who are constant companions of the Lord ” Canto 1 Chapter 14 According to this verse, Nanda and Sunanda are close to the eternal lord with the same position as the highest of Angels of the Lord and amongst the leaders of liberated souls that are constantly engaged in serving God. A story in chapter 12 of the s...

Who was Babaji or Baba Haidakhan?

Article Updated May 6 , 2019 If one were to select a likely abode of Gods on our planet, it would likely be highest mountains on the planet, Himalayas- including its greener hills, valleys and caves in lower ranges fed by pristine waters of melting snows of the highest peaks and lakes. Here the air is fresh, cool and crisp and because it is relatively close to equatorial regions, not so cold as to be inhospitable even in the depths of winter. Indeed, fresh air, pure water to drink, green fields, wild flowers and groves of Oak or Pine have created areas within these vast ranges that might be most akin to what one might imagine of heaven. However, over centuries, even the Himalayas have not remained untouched by greed and lust with its associated evils. It is a process that seems to have been set in motion several thousands years ago. Just as it is in the nature of humans to begin forgetting God and goodness with prosperity so it is with civilizations made up of them. As...

Sunanda the Goddess - An Embodiment of Divine Love

A Comprehensive view of Mother Goddess as known in South, East and Himalayan Asia Jai Mata Ki (Praise the Mother Goddess) While it is a purpose of every life form to evolve to yet higher states and eventually attain God and become a part of Him, some godly beings, (known as bodhisattvas in Buddhism, and angels in Christianity)  choose to remain as created beings in the universe in service of Universal Consciousness and out of compassion for others, and in order to assist the latter in their evolutionary journeys towards enlightenment. One significant thing that is paradoxical to outsiders is that while Hindu philosophy upholds monotheism and a single Almighty in the Universe, many Hindus (although not all sects) also follow the worship of numerous gods and goddesses. The reality is that since the Almighty is formless and infinite, any finite divine portion of the Almighty may be personified as a facet or personification of the Infinite Lord and that is the ...
