JOURNEY WITH MYSELF

"The technique of Vipassana is a simple, practical way to achieve real peace of mind and to lead a happy, useful life. It is not confined to any particular religion or dogma"

says Satya Narayan Goenka,
the principal teacher.

COMING ON BLOG AFTER LONG GAP.AS I WAS ON VISIT TO VIPPASSANA MEDITATION CENTRE,IGATPURI NEAR BOMBAY,UNABLE TO LOG ON BLOG.IT WAS TURNING POINT OF LIFE TO ATTEND 10 LONG DAY VIPPASSANA COURSE.SOME OF THE QUESTION WHICH IMMEDIATELY COMES IN MIND IS:
WHAT IS VIPPASSANA?
VIPPASANA IS RELIGION WHICH BELIEVES IN LAW OF NATURE.IN ANCIENT INDIA,RISHI,MUNI USED TO DO TAPASYA IN CAVES AND FORESTS,AND USED TO GET MOKSHA.MANY PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE IN TERM MOKSHA.BHAGWAN SHIV IS VIPASSANA YOGI.MANY SADHUS,RISHIS AND MUNIS DONE TAPASYA ,GIVE THIS KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW TO ACHIEVE MOKSHA IN REAL LIFE WITHOUT DISTURBING GRIHASTHASHRAM.ONE OF PIONEER ,IS GREAT MAHATMA BUDDHA.VIPPASANA IS TO OBSERVE NATURAL BREATH WITH SAKSHI BHAV(WITNESS).WE HAD TO DO MEDITATION BY OBSERVING NATURAL BREATH.
WHY NAME BUDDHA?
AS HE GOT NIRVANA BELOW THE TREE BODHI.
MY EXPERIENCES:
I WAS IN IGATPURI FROM 22 APRIL TO 3 RD OF MAY.I CAME TO KNOW FROM MY NEIGHBOURER MR.U .LUNGE WHO IS REGULARLY DOING VIPPASANA.HE SUGGESTED ME TO ATTEND THE 10 DAY LONG VIPPASSANA COURSE AT IGATPURI.HE IS REGULARLY DOING VIPPASSANA.
FIRST DAY OR TWO IS JUST TO ACCLIMATISE WITH THE ATMOSPHERE.AS DAYS PASSED ,WE ENJOY THE ATMOSPHERE AS CENTRE IS SITUATED IN HILLY REGION.
WHAT WE HAD TO DO ?
WE HAVE TO OBSERVE NOBLE SILENCE FOR COMPLETE 10 DAYS.NOBLE SILENCE MEANS IN HINDI ARYA MOUN,IT MEANS NOT TO TALK WITH MOUTH OR WITH EVEN BODY OF SPEECH.
VIPPASANA TEACHINGS:
1}.ACCEPT LIFE AS IT COMES.
2}.DONOT REACT BY MAINTAINING COMPLETE SAMTA[NOT TO LOSE MENTAL AS WELL AS PHYSICAL BALANCE] ,BE THE SITUATION IS GOOD OR BAD.
3}.PATIENCE
4}.SAHAJ-BE AT EASE IN ANY GIVEN SITUATION.
5}.CHANGE IS THE RULE OF THE LAW.ACCEPT THE CHANGE GRACEFULLY.
6}.ACTION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN TALKING.
7}.FACE THE FEAR ,ANGER AND HATRED WITH SAMTA AND SAKSHIBHAV[WITNESS].
CONCLUSION:IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GIFT OF BHAGWAN BUDDHA FOR THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE ON THE EARTH.IT TAKES TIME TO IN REALITY TO INCULCATE HIS TEACHINGS,BUT WE CAN ABLE TO INCULCATE HIS TEACHINGS BY WAY OF PRACTICING MEDITATION.I WILL SUGGEST EACH AND EVERYONE TO VISIT THE VIPPASANA MEDITATION CENTRE AT IGATPURI.WEBSITE ADDRESS:WWW.VRI.DHAMMA.ORG .

Srishti se pehle sat nahin thaa, asat bhi nahin
Antariksh bhi nahin, aakaash bhee nahin thaa.
Chhipaa thaa kyaa, kahaan, kisne dhaka thaa?
Us pal to agam, atal jal bhi kahaan thaa.

Srishti kaa kaun hai kartaa?
Kartaa hai ya vikartaa?
Oonche aakash mein rahtaa.
Sadaaa adhyaksh banaa rahtaa.
Wohee sach much mein jaantaa..Yaa nahin bhi jaanataa
Hain kisi ko nahin pataa,
Nahin pataa,
Nahin hai pataa, nahin hai pataa.

Vanraj Bhatia was awesomE.

CRITICS ? HELPER OR DISTURBING ELEMENTS ?

WHEN ONE IS PROFFESSIONALY WORKING,THE SITUATION TENDS TO COME,PEOPLE CRITICIZE YOU,YOUR WORK.THERE ARE MANY PERSONS WHO ARE DISTURBING ELEMENTS WHO DISTURBS YOUR WORK AND THEY ARE WORKING IN THE SAME SETUP YOU ARE WORKING.WHAT ONE SHOULD DO ?I FEEL IF SOMEONE IS CRITICISING YOU,IT MEANS YOU ARE ON RIGHT PATH.PEOPLE DON'T WANT YOU TO TRAVEL ON THAT PATH.WHAT ONE SHOULD DO?SIMPLE SOLUTION=IGNORE THEM.IF YOU ARE IGNORING THEM ,YOU ARE KILLING THEM.SILENCE PAYS.ANOTHER GROUP OF PERSONS TRYING TO DISTURB YOUR WORK TEMPO,TRYING TO DISTURB YOUR WORK AND THEY ARE WORKING IN SAME SETUP.WHAT ONE SHOULD DO TO REMAIN AWAY FROM THIS PERSONS? AGAIN SOLUTION IS SIMPLE :IGNORE THEM.CONCENTRATE ON YOUR WORK.TRY TO B FEARLESS AND FLAMBYOUNT IN THE GIVEN SITUATION.
BOTTOM LINE IS ,THIS ARE ROAD BARRIERS IN ONE'S SUCCESS.ROAD BARRIERS IN LIFE.WITHOUT ROAD BARRIERS,WITHOUT DIFFICULTY,ENJOYMENT IS LESS.LET'S ENJOY THIS ROAD BARRIERS.VERY GOOD SONG FROM "AMARPREM",MUSIC OF R D BURMAN,LYRICS ANAND BAKSHI RIGHTFULLY WRITES:
KUCH TOH LOG KAHENGE,
LOGO KA KAAM HAIN KAHENA.
HAVE A NICE DAY.

WHO IS BETTER ?

yet another epic match.it is difficult to say who is better-ROGER FEDERER OR RAFAEL NADAL.FIRST,LET'S SEE ,characterstics of both player.ROGER FEDERER IS MUCH WITH PEACE WITH HIMSELF BELONG TO MUCH SERENE ATMOSPHERE OF SWITZERLAND,LAND OF ALPS.FEDERER IS AGGRESSIVE DOESN'T LIKE TO SHOW EMOTIONS.FEDERER KNOWS HOW TO SUSTAIN THE AGGRESSION IN LONGER PERIOD OF GAME,SAY FOR 5 SETS.FEDERER IS MUCH LIKE YESTERYEARS GREATS BORG AND PETE SAMPRAS,THESE PLAYERS WANTS TO PROVE TO THE WORLD BY THEIR RACKET,DOESN'T LIKE TO INDULGE IN WAR OF WORDS INSTEAD THEY WANT TO PROVE THEMSELVES BY ACTION.
ON THE OTHER HAND ,NADAL IS AGGRESSIVE,CONSISTENT,AMBITIOUS.HE IS HURRICANE.HE DOES NOT CARE WHO IS HIS OPPONENT.DOES NOT WANT TO PLAY IN PRESSURE,BUT HIS GAME IS ATTACKING.HE IS JUST LIKE JOHN MCNOEROE.
IT IS ALWAYS PLEASURE TO WATCH BOTH PLAYERS APPROACH TO THE GAME,THEIR STRATEGIES,THEIR THINKING,IMMIDIATE DECISIONS WHILE PLAYING.THEIR OUTBURSTS AFTER WINNING-HURRAH.
BUT IN MY VIEW,I M NOT BIASED,ROGER FEDERER IS BETTER PLAYER AND CLASS ACT.
LAWN TENNIS IS JUST LIKE LIFE WHERE YOU WILL HAVE TO ACT OR REACT. .JOURNEY TO GUJRAT STATE WAS FANTASTIC.GOOD MEMORIES.....SO WHO IS BETTER ,ROGER OR NADAL,IT'S UPTO U.........LET ALL B HAPPY.....GOOD NIGHT...............................GO FOR KILL.

MIRAGE

LEAVING AKOLA TOMORROW,GOING TO VADODARA FOR CONFERENCE.THERE IS ALWAYS EXCITEMENT TO VISIT AND SEARCH FOR A NEW PLACES.VADODARA CITY IS IN GUJARAT STATE.CHIEF MINISTER NARENDRA MODI CHANGE WHOLE STATE IN HEAVEN.I M TOTALLY AGREE WITH ANIL AMBANI THAT HE SHOULD BE THE NEXT LEADER OF OUR COUNTRY.LEADERSHIP CAN BE AUTOCRATIC,PARTICIPATIVE OR SUPPORTIVE.AND IN MODI ALL THIS TRAITES ARE INBORN.I M EAGER TO VISIT GUJARAT STATE FOR FIRST TIME.COMING AFTER 23 JAN.TILL THEN............ENJOY AND GO FOR KILL.

OLD MEMORIES

THIS VIDEO IS FROM SERIAL CHANAKYA.CHANAKYA USED TO COME ON DOORDARSHAN.CHANAKYA WAS DIRECTED AS WELL AS ACTED BY CHANDRAPRAKASH DWIWEDI.HE ALSO DIRECTED VERY GOOD MOVIE CALLED PINJAR ON REAL TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES OF PARTITION.IN THE ERA OF LOTS OF SATTELLITE CHANNELS,CHANAKYA BRINGS BACK OLD MEMORIES BACK ON OUR MIND.AT THAT TIME THERE IS ONLY ONE CHANNEL THAT IS DOORDARSHAN,WE USED TO WAIT FOR SUNDAYS TO WATCH SERIALS LIKE CHANAKYA,MAHABHARAT,JUNGLE BOOK AND STARTREK.THOSE DAYS WERE FANTASTIC.I THING EACH PASSING DAY BRINGS LOTS OF MEMORIES,SO BETTER TO ENJOY THE PRESENT MOMENT.VERY GOOD POETRY WRITTEN BY SAHIR IN THE FILM CALLED KABHI KABHI
"MAI HAR EK PAL KA SHAYAR HOON,
HAR EK PAL MERI KAHANI HAI"
SO,BETTER TO DO YOUR BEST WORK IN PRESENT.

THREE LEGENDS IN ONE GREAT ALBUM.
