A Very Good One

It was a sports stadium.  Eight Children were standing on the track to participate in the running   event.
*       Ready!
*       Steady!
*       Bang!!!
With the sound of Toy pistol, all eight girls started running.
Hardly have they covered ten to fifteen steps, one of the smaller girls   slipped and fell down, due to bruises
and pain she started crying.
When other seven girls heard this sound, stopped running, stood for a   while and turned back, they all ran back to the place where the girl fell down.
One among them bent, picked and kissed the girl gently and enquired .  'Now pain must have reduced'.
All seven girls lifted the fallen girl, pacified her, two of them held  the girl firmly and they all seven joined
hands together and walked  together and reached the winning post.

Officials were shocked.

Clapping of thousands of spectators filled the stadium.
Many eyes were filled with tears and perhaps it had reached the GOD even!
YES. This happened in Hyderabad, recently !
The sport was conducted by! National Institute of Mental Health. All  these special girls had come to participate in this event and they are  spastic children.

Yes, they were mentally retarded.
What did they teach this world?

Teamwork?

Humanity?

Equality among all?. . . . . . . . ????

Successful people help others who are slow in learning so that they are not felt far behind.  

A Heart Touching Story

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. Time went by... the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree everyday.

One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. "Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy. "I am no longer a kid, I don't play around trees anymore."

The boy replied, "I want toys. I need money to buy them."

"Sorry, but I don't have money... but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money."

The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.

The tree was sad.

One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. "Come and play with me" the tree said.

"I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?"

"Sorry, but I don't have a house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house."

So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and play with me!" the tree said.

"I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?"

"Use my truck to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy." So the boy cut the tree truck to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. "Sorry, my boy. But I don't have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you... " the tree said.

"I don't have teeth to bite" the boy replied.

"No more truck for you to climb on"

"I am too old for that now" the boy said.

"I really can't give you anything ... the only thing left is my dying roots" the tree said with tears.

"I don't need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years." The boy replied.

"Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, Come sit down with me and rest." The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.......

This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were  young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad...When we grow up, we leave them... only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy.

You may think the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parent.

Understanding the Gayatri Mantra

The Gayatri Mantra is the universal prayer enshrined in the Vedas, the most ancient Scriptures of Man. A Universal prayer is that which is to be chanted with devotion for one's spiritual benefit in all the ages in any part of the world. We have to recite the Mantra as follows. ॐ भूर भुवा स्वाहा तत सवितुर वरयनियम भर्गो देवस्य धीमही धियो यो ना प्रचोदयात   OM BHUR BHUVA SVAHA TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM BHARGO DEVASYA DHEEMAHI DHI YO YONAH PRACHODAYAT The Gayatri Mantra can be translated as ॐ OM Para Brahman BHUR Bhu Loka (Physical Plane) - This refers to the five elements this body is made up of BHUVA Bhuva Loka (Middle Plane) - This refers to the power in man which animates the body. This is actually the Prana Sakthi SVAHA Swarga Loka (Heaven) TAT That, this refers to God, or Paramatma. SAVITUR That from which all is born VARENYAM Fit to be worshipped BHARGO The Radiance, the Spiritual Effulgence, the light that bestows wisdom. DEVASYA Divine Reality DHEEMAHI We Meditate DHI YO Buddhi, Intellect YO Which NAH Our PRACHODAYAT Enlighten. The Gayatri Mantra may be translated as follows OM (OM) - We meditate (DHEEMAHI) upon the Spiritual Effulgence (BHARGO) of THAT Adorable Supreme Divine Reality (VARENYAM DEVASYA), the Source (SAVITUR) of the Physical (BHUR), the Astral (BHUVA), and the Heavenly (SVAHA) Spheres of Existence. May THAT (TAT) Supreme Divine Being enlighten (PRACHODAYAT) our (NAH) Intellect (DHIYO) (So that we may realise the Supreme Truth). Sage Vishwamitra discovered the Gayatri Mantra. This mantra enabled the sage to use rare weapons, which bowed to his will, when this mantra was invoked with faith. Through the power he attained, this way he was able to create a counterpart of the cosmos. The Gayatri Mantra is addressed to the energy of the Sun - Surya. It is addressed to the Immanent and Transcendent Divinity. This mantra has infinite potentiality; it is a vibrant formula. It has immense powers, which are truly amazing, for the Sun is it's presiding Deity. The Gayatri Mantra is enshrined in the Vedas, the most ancient Scriptures of Man. Gayatri is the Mother of the Vedas and Gayatri redeems the chanter of the Mantra. Ma Gayatri is present wherever the Mantra is chanted. Gayatri has three names - Gayatri, Saavitri and Saraswathi. These three are present in each one of us. Gayatri is the master of the senses, Saavitri is the master of Prana (Life Force). Saavitri signifies Truth. Saraswathi is the Presiding Deity of Speech (Vaak). Theses three represent purity of Thought, Word and Deed. One who practises the purity and harmony of Thought, Word and Deed will have Gayatri, Saavitri and Saraswathi in him. The Gayatri Mantra Has Three Parts 1. "OM BHUR BHUVA SVAHA TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM BHARGO DEVASYA" 2. "DHEEMAHI" 3. "DHIYO YO NAH PRACHODAYAT" These three parts refer to the three elements that figure in the adoration of the Lord - Praise, Meditation and Prayer. These Parts may be described as · Prayer to Savitha, The Divine is first praised · Meditation on Savitha, The Divine is then meditated upon with reverence · Prayer to Savitha. An appeal is made to the Divine to awaken and strengthen our intellect, the discriminating faculty in us. The Gayatri Mantra is considered to be the Essence of the teachings of the Vedas, The Veda Sara. Chanting it fosters and sharpens the knowledge-yielding faculty in man, and one who chants it regularly with faith the mantra relieves him of diseases, wards off all misery and fulfils all the needs of man. It bestows all that is beneficial to the chanter. The Gayatri should not be chanted casually, as it give the chanter various kinds of power. This mantra should be chanted three times a day - Dawn, Noon and Dusk, although the mantra is not bound by these three time periods of the day. Remember it can be chanted anywhere and at any time. The chanter of Gayatri mantra should not treat it casually and his heart should be pure at all times. The Gayatri Mantra is an essential requisite for the young and students because it ensures bright and auspicious future for them. The chanter of mantra has sharper intellect, they become more zealous, more enthusiastic, and certainly become qualified to get better marks, ranks and first classes. Just as we take bath to cleanse our bodies, so also we should chant the Gayatri Mantra to purify our mind and Intellect.  The most recommended time for chanting the Gayatri are : · When we get up from bed in the morning · Before every meal · When we go to bed in the evening After the Gayatri one should chant 'OM' and 'Shanti' Three times. The Gayatri Mantra protects the chanter wherever he may be. The importance of the mantra are given as follows: · If Gayatri Mantra is not recited correctly it has opposite effect of enveloping the chanter in darkness. If it is chanted with Love, God will accept it. · Each word should be pronounced clearly and distinctly, without undue haste or hurry. · Gayatri is the very basis of Vedas. It is also called Veda Mata (Mother of the Vedas) · Gayatri is the mantra, which preserves, protects and rescues the chanter from mortality. · The Gayatri mantra is a Universal prayer, which asks for a clear Intellect so that the Truth may be reflected therein without distortion. · Men, Women of all climes and creed, can chant Gayatri Mantra. · The heart needs to be cleansed atleast three times a day with Gayatri. · The Gayatri Mantra is synonymous to the Divinity and therefore must be approached with humility, reverence, faith and love towards the Mantra. · Chanting with humility, reverence, faith and love is more important than mechanical repetition while the mind wanders. · Full faith in the power and potency of the Gayatri Mantra will be generated only when the seeker has developed requisite degree of enthusiasm, reverence and love towards the Mantra. · The more one chants the Mantra, the greater benefit the chanter gets.

ॐ शान्ति शान्ति ...

कई बार एक अजीब सी हुड़क उठती है की आज फिर कुछ लिखूं लेकिन समझ नहीं आता की क्या लिखूं , विषय तो बहुत सारे हैं लेकिन सब वही हैं और उन पर इतना लिखा जा चुका है की अब तो लिखने का या पढने का मन भी नहीं करता, रोज़ की एक नयी अमर गाथा लिखी जाती है, रोज़ एक नया घोटाला मिलता है और कई बार तो लगता है की हम इन घोटालों मैं इतना घुट चुके हैं की अब ये भी नए नहीं लगते, एक डाकू और एक राजनेता एक जैसे हे लगते हैं क्यूंकि दोनों ही लूटते हैं और राजनेता और अभिनेता भी एक जैसे हे लगते हैं क्यूंकि दोनों हे अभिनय करते हैं एक असल जिंदगी में और एक पर्दे पर और दोनों ही हम लोगों को बेवकूफ बनाते हैं और अब तो ये दोनों भी अपना व्यवसाय बदल रहे हैं नेता अभिनेता हो गए और अभिनेता नेता बन रहे हैं , में इसे व्यवसाय कह रहा हूँ क्यूंकि इसी से उनकी रोटी रोज़ी चलती है और अब तो राजनीति भी एक व्यवसाय ही है, योजनाओं को बेच देना, पद को बेच देना, और देश को बेच देना भी एक व्यसाय हे तो है, पर में ये सब क्यूँ लिख रहा हूँ......

ये तो वो बातें हैं जो अब एक आम आदमी भी समझता है और जानता है की क्या हो रहा है और क्या दिखाया जा रहा है, वो भी समझता है की अचानक सदके क्यूँ बनने लग जाती हैं, क्यूँ नयी योजनायें आ जाती हैं , क्यूँ अचानक हमारे राजनेता दिखाई देने लग जाते हैं और हम लोगों के बीच में आ जाते हैं जो ढूँढने से भी नहीं मिलते थे, उन नेताओं के चमचे भी सक्रिय हो जाते हैं और उनके गुणगान में बडे बडे होर्डिंग और पोस्टर लग जाते हैं, अचानक जो हम सालों से गन्दा पानी पीने को मजबूर थे और अनेको शिकायतों के बाद भी कुछ नहीं होता था वो भी साफ़ आने लगता है, बिजली भी ठीक से आती है, रोज़ नालियां साफ़ होती हैं और हमे भी ये अहेसास करवाया जाता है की हम भी इस देश के नागरिक हैं और हमे अपने अधिकार पाने का हक है और हमे मिल भी रहा है , जो जिंदगी बेचारी सी लगती है वो अचानक अच्छी सी लगने लग जाती है, और जब एक नेता जी अचानक हमारे सामने आकर हम से हाथ मिलाते हैं तो हमे भी अपने इम्पोरतंत होने का एहसास होता है और हम फ़ौरन साड़ी महंगाई , सिलिंडर के रेट, होम लोन , ये टैक्स वो टैक्स सब भूल जाते हैं और कुछ दिन उसी एहसास में जीते हैं, फिर कुछ हे दिन बाद जब वापस नींद खुलती है तो वही बेबसी और लाचारी भरी जिंदगी सामने आ खड़ी होती है और जिंदगी फिर से अपने ढर्रे पर चलने लगती है .....
