The Magic of New Beginnings

A photo snapped this morning from my bedroom window - every morning, I go to the window and greet the morning sun, thanking it and the Universe for all it gives without having to ask, and then I say to myself, it is a new day, a new beginning, a time to experience the magic of new beginnings, and then numerous birds sing "New day, new day, new day, come on out and experience the magic ---" Jai Ho Surya Devta, Jai Surya Dev Gods and goddesses grant wealth, fame and security from dangers through prayer and sacrifice for them, but peace and happiness comes from doing good and compassionate deeds for other humans in need, children, old, vulnerable, animals, birds, nature etc. and not harming any. It is one of the reasons why there are very many rich persons in the world but they have neither peace nor happiness that is found more commonly in humble homes. That is what I believe the Lord, all of his Angels, all of the gods and goddesses wish of humans, that is my bel...

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...

Best time of day to consume Marijuana/ Cannabis wherever legal

Cannabis is an illegal substance in most countries of the world presently. However for centuries humans have used cannabis for its medicinal, spiritual and recreational benefits, up until around a hundred years ago when it began to become illegal and maligned. Now as modern research begins to unfold medical benefits of Marijuana for various ailments, many for which no reasonable modern treatment exists such as epilepsy in children and PTSD in adults to name just a few, efforts have begun in many parts of the world to re-legalize it. It is something that was legal for thousands of years of human history and created no problems except in the aforesaid period of less than hundred years when it was made illegal. Aside from its medicinal and spiritual use, modern studies appear to have established that it is much safer than alcohol as a relaxant and for recreational use also. Alcohol used similarly can kill and prompt crimes. Marijuana does not kill and suppresses tendency f...

A Tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth

A lthough Queen Victoria could never visit India, she took special interest in it as the Empress of India and amongst all towns in the Himalayas, Nainital. Some Himalayan mystics believe that Queen Victoria was a European reincarnation of the goddess Nanda (as also the Tibetan goddess Tara) and her great great grand daughter Queen Elizabeth may be a divine or angelic reincarnation too, for goddesses when they reincarnate on Earth have often done so as royalty and in current times there is none more supreme than Her Majesty amongst royalty and she has all the attributes of a divine personality. Today she became the longest reigning British Monarch in a thousand years. The reason for a European reincarnation of a Himalayan goddess are discussed at length in the author's book - The Babaji Affair - available at all major online outlets including Amazon. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second. Long May her reign be.  Image source: https://twitter.com/BritishMonarchy/st...

Offensive words, sweet speech

A s we move through life we run into people whose words offend us deeply, others whose words are pleasant and sweet and most in mixed formats. That is what creates a character different from a bland vegetable. If we are unable to tolerate offensive words of someone we know or meet, we can minimize communications with such persons and even cut off completely in the case maxima. A similar thing can be done for electronic communications too, through various means known to those familiar with its use in places like social media through use of block, private etc.   However, two things must be remembered in all this, first is not to be offended much by all kinds of remarks on social media where people having the advantage of distance may feel freer to make offensive remarks, as the picture suggests. I preferred the color red for the graphic in a shade that is the favorite of a a South and East Asian epic god – Lord Hanuman – who was famed for his most appropriate an...
