    A BEAUTIFUL PRACTICAL THOUGHT.

    To you, O Lord, the priest, beloved of all men, we bring our praise with reverence,

    Keep watch over our children & ourselves, we pray, Guard both our lives & our

    cattle.

    Of one mind & one purpose I make you, following one leader, be like the gods,

    ever deathless! Never stop loving.

    Have your eating & drinking in common, I bind you together. Assemble for

    worship of the Lord, like spokes around a hub.

    May this our Lord of cloudy sky, bedewed with liquid drops preserve unequalled

    riches in our homes, Lord of the cloudy sky, bestow vigor & strength on our

    abodes, let wealth & treasure come to us.

    Let this man be again bedewed with this presented sacrifice, & comfort with the

    sap of life the bride whom they have brought to him.

    Thus steadfast & firm as a horse, we shall offer our praises, Omniscient Lord,

    forever, Replete with food & with riches, being close to you always, may we never

    suffer reverses.

    be, living both long & happily.

    lord of the clouds give us vitality in our homes, granting goods & riches.

    If we have injured space, the earth or heaven, or if we have offended mother or

    father, from that may Agni, fire of the house, absolve us & guide us safely to the

    world of goodness.

    The subtle self is known by thoughts in which the senses in five different forms

    have centered. The whole of mens thoughts is pervaded by the senses, when

    thought is purified, the self shines forth.

    As per the ancient scriptures, in one of the chapter, which highlights the purerelation between a man & a female, who intend to enter into a sacred

    relationship of an everlasting relationship, emotional psychic closeness, where

    two bodies, souls, become one after sharing the physical intimacy.

    To enjoy this kind of relation a man as well as a female must follow the simple

    rule of protecting their chastity as a sacred treasure. If this rule is observed, while

    becoming husband & wife, their union is very strong & the life after marriage

    remains stable.

    As two bodies become one in the union their psychic nerve currents grow

    together each day as they enjoy the physical union, as this relation grows,

    thoughts, actions, health & unrepressed attitudes towards each other grow as

    well, thereby making their married life so enriched with fun, happiness & above

    all the trust.

    In todays socio-economic life styles, which have changed so rapidly, wherein

    most of the relations are so fast & the physical intimacy has just remained in thebooks, most of the marriages break within 3 or 6 or after one year. These short

    term relations have their own repercussion on the health, mental, as well as on

    the behavior.which has become so very insensitive toward their own self &

    society overall. There are many reasons, of which 40% influence has come from

    foreign culture, which in fact is so very practical, & the lives are taken very

    seriously, as they enjoy every bit of life as per their cultural openness,

    government policies, family values.

    If one observes the lifestyle of European nations, than, one shall really understand

    as to how they became so advanced in most of the fields, then one can surely

    work the same way to enhance their knowledge, not only in terms of clothing,

    eating, dancing, or other activities, but learn the true values of life the way their

    Sacred scripture has taught them.

    At the same time, learning the Vedic ways too, & following the Yoga, Sanskrit,

    Ayur veda has enriched their daily lifestyle.

    We on the other hand learned something which the developed nations gave up in

    70th

    , 80th, century & from early 20th

    or may be even much earlier, the knowledgeattained from ancient Indian scriptures has been brought within the main stream

    of their culture, learning, life styles, especially in food & clothing.

    For any community as one & the populace of this world, faith, values, knowledge,

    compassion are the back bone for any development & long term people centric

    laws being liberal, at the same time healthy for all for making ones nation walk on

    the path of progress, development in all the fields & to add to the health of the

    nation, we need to have healthy bodies with brilliant brains to distinguish

    between the moral, ethical, social welfare & deterioration of their health as well

    as respect for their nation.

    Touching the strings of marriage & married life again, it has been observed that

    the reasons of a break / divorc in a marriage are so small, even a simple

    approach in terms of communicating freely & constructively with ones better half

    in a cordial manner, without criticizing one another, giving full attention & respect

    to each other can solve half the problem & if efforts are taken to understand the

    situation, mental frame, by simply playing the musical chair game, thereby the

    husband (leaving his man ego) occupies the seat of his wife & the other way

    round, resolving these small but dangerous reasons by just wearing one others

    cap,

    we shall win the battle without taking to court & also taking out our arms n

    ammo.

    There is no one greater in the three worlds than the GURU, it is he who grants

    divine knowledge & should be worshipped with supreme devotion.

    Abiding in the midst of ignorance, but thinking themselves wise & learned, fools

    aimlessly go hither & thither, like blind led by the blind.

    Taking as a bow the great weapon of the sacred scriptures, one should put upon it

    an arrow sharpened by meditation, stretching it with a thought directed to the

    essence of that, penetrate that imperishable as the mark.

    Just as the luminous day is born from light, so may the radiant singers shine far &wide! Truly, the poets wisdom enhances the glory of the ordinance decreed by

    GOD, the powerful, the ancient.

    From all knowledge, yoga practice & meditation, all that relates to the AUM

    sound is to be meditated on as the only blissful (SHIVA) indeed, the AUM sound is

    SHIVA.

    Contemplating HIM, who has neither beginning, middle, nor the end, the one ,

    the all pervading, who is wisdom & bliss, the formless, the wonderful, whose

    consort is UMA , the highest Lord, the ruler, having three eyes & a blue throat, the

    peaceful, the silent sage reaches the source of being, the universal witness, on the

    other shore of darkness.

    He should fulfill, according to the rules ordained, for twelve years the observance

    of brahmacharya, such as the service of the guru.

    Let him approach him properly with mind & senses tranquil & peaceful, then will

    this master disclose the essence of the knowledge of Brahman, whereby may he

    known the imperishable real, the person.

    Let him approach with humility a GURU who is learned in the scriptures &

    established in Brahman, to such a seeker, whose mind is tranquil & senses

    controlled, & who has approached him in the proper manner, let the learned

    GURU impart the science of Brahman, through which the true, imperishable being

    is realized.

    The rights of oblation, O lovers of truth, which the sages divined from the sacred

    verses, were variously expounded in the threefold Veda, perform them with

    constant care. This is your path to the world of holy action.

    May the forefathers of ancient days protect me in this my prayer, in this my act, in

    this my priestly duty, in this my performance, in this my thoughts, in this my

    purpose & desire, in this my calling on the GODS ! All Hail.

    Having reached the last order of life, one should sit in a solitary place in a relaxedposture, with pure heart, with head, neck & body straight, controlling all the

    sense organs, having bowed with devotion to the master.

    Once the man & woman enters into a bond chosen by their own will & wish, &

    not by any social pressure or obligation, then comes the cementing process of

    that relationship. The cementing is achieved by giving a birth to a child or in some

    cases, by adopting the child & there after the child, mother & father are

    showered with the blessings of their DEVAS or deities.

    The collective vibration emitted by the mother as well as the father thus blesses

    the child & The Supreme showers Its blessings on the entire family. In the past the

    culture of large or combined / collective families prevailed in India as well as other

    nations, which were very cohesive, more stable, happy, because of the very fact

    that each member of the family learnt the values from the very beginning , hence

    took care of each other at difficult times as well shared the happiness together, &

    all the family members were nurtured in such a manner that at least 98% of the

    members were capable of nurturing the best future for their next generations,

    thereby embedding the family values in all the members & not making them self

    centered humans, as the situation prevails now in most of the nations, which

    could be one of the reasons of signs like depression, anxiety, anger, hatred.

    Like the composite families of the past, where children were provided with

    education, along with food, shelter, clothing, etc etcwith a constant supervision

    while learning, in recreational activities as well being a companion, if all agree on

    the above facts then why not change the present not by going into the past but bygetting & implementing the past value of life into the present and make the

    nations loving, caring, healthy & humane.

    Now there are so many hurdles which a person faces in his / her life time, and the

    main hurdles are, hunger, thirst, laziness, passion, lust, fear, shame, anxiety,

  • 7/31/2019 A Beautiful Practical Thought

    6/14

    Be happy this is the only way ofbeing wise

    6 | P a g e

    Shiva shashi dhar

    excitement, adversity, sorrow, despair, arrogance, delusion, greed, stinginess,

    ambitiousness, death birth and the most harmful is Anger, which gives birth to so

    many diseases, which can become lethal than the self ego also. Therefore, does

    the Creator make us humans to suffer.no not at all, but to learn the lessons of

    life with serene mind healthy body & clean soul. The type of foods a person

    consumes in todays time is very much hazardous, due to artificial flavors,

    chemical colors, being used in most of the fast foods available at a shop near you,

    overweight, diabetics, cholesterol, & God only knows how many more side effects

    are bought along with a pack of fast food, why not restrain ourselves to the

    healthy food which is awarded to each human being right from the time of ones

    birth.!!!

    Why not eat healthy, remain fit, focused, so that we are able to control at least50 60% of the above hurdles, or at least cross these hurdles safely.

    The questions are many, answers are also many, one needs to ask a right question

    at the right time to thyself & from the inner conscious self see how the answers

    start coming your way & problems or hurdles can be cleared by using thy self

    intellect, which again is a great blessing of the creator to us humans. If we achieve

    self-discipline, by doing regular Sadhana, or visiting a place of worship as per

    ones faith for self awakening.

    Ayurvedas for choosing the right kind of food items, ingredients, for ones good

    health & long life (as per some scientific research wrong food intakes can reduce

    ones life span) & prosper.

    Another path or remedy is to know the unknown well in advance by using the

    ancient old scriptures of Astrology, Palmistry, Gemology, 0r the art of using the

    knowledge of numerology, As everyone knows that this universe works on certain

    calculations based on numbers, like the physicists astronomers, star gazers,planet watchers dear ones are also governing our physical bodies at all times, and

    these elements keep changing as per the type of fuel given for their operation.

    There are some simple rules which one needs to follow, for making their lives

    happy & healthy. For every human being, good health, heritage, culture have

    always proven to be the sublime fruits of a profound civilizations, & all this has

    been & can be still achieved in present days by following certain rules of age old

    Ayurveda, which differentiates all types of natural vegetation of prevailing in

    most of the nations as per the climatic conditions in ones nation. The rules as

    mentioned are easy to follow, as mentioned here below.

    Understand the type of body one has, as such there are three types of biological

    rhythmatic patterns in a human body, & these Bio rhythmatic patterns control

    the everyday life of all individuals, such as inter play of inertia, activity &

    essences, each pattern works as per its own rhythm and effects the individual

    body & mind as per their habits of life style, eating habits, that is what Ayurveda

    teaches one in identifying the right kind of food intakes for the mentioned three

    patterns.

    Personal as well as spiritual well being & encompasses every human need,

    physical, mental, emotional along with food habits, this age old science also

    teaches us to follow healthy ways of exercising, like yogic asanas / postures,

    stretching our body as per the rhythm of ones breath, & controlling the breath as

    per the demand of these postures.

    This art has become very famous in various Asian & European nations, wherein

    they brought this art in the main stream along with other fitness related

    exercises, thereby making their lives rich in most of the fields. Now, if the

    collective family concept was adopted along with the other sport, individual lives

    could have been far better than the present, just to remind that in European,

    southeast Asian nations, families who stood bound within one big family scenario,

    weather in financial growth, or otherwise, have gained to the maximum than

    others.

    The answer lies in the bond they share with their families as one compositefamily. These values make our lives joyful, thoughts positive & harmonious

    surrounding for ones better living.

    The above self experienced lessons, may sound absurd for many, but have proven

    to be of great benefit to this small time practitioner. The main aim of sharing this

    bit of knowledge gained with all the readers is to try to contribute that bit for

    every readers good health & prosperity.

    To add some of the more fascinating natural cures, rains, summer, snowfall, wind,

    fire, the rays of the sun, morning & evenings are natures divinities, & as per thecosmic rhythm each type of cure is prevalent on this earth as per the geographic

    positioning, therefore like these natural cures for giving us the best fruits all

    through our life span, to keep us happily going in tandem with the nature, we

    need to use our intellect for keeping & using these natural resources safe so that

    we, our present & future generations bare the fruits as well.

    As most of us shall be aware that this universe is a sacred mystery in sound &

    vibrations, hence, speak those words that are good in hearing, deeds, worst for

    none, because as per the newtons third law there is always a reaction for every

    action.

    By using the intellect, we humans must act positively so that the reactions

    thereafter are also positive, if one takes to arms & starts killing, then one day shall

    come for his own death with the gun, why to hate & spread hatred, when all of us

    have a limited life span to experience & enjoy the creators bounty, by loving &

    caring, we all shall be cared not by the person or persons, but by the self Creator.

    This belief shall be routed through all deeds of a human.

    A simple form of remembering the creator & thyself along with the reason of us

    being present on this beautiful, resourceful earth, by these alphabetical meanings

    we shall understand our very reason of being born as humans!

    A = Ataman / soul.keep this pious always.

    While jotting down these kinder garden alphabets, thoughts & even the sub-

    conscious self went down the memory lane & remembered so many irritating

    events ( experienced as a child) that felt laughing with me after analyzing those

    events today & thought how silly & ignorant a person can be at an age.

    As we grow & have the slightest will to unveil our past, and learn that all those

    irritating events were nothing great than a mothers scolding, fathers gazing on

    us to make us aware of the situations, wherein we were wrong.

    And to correct those wrong deeds & events and now after realizing that those

    processes were for our own betterment & essential for grooming us to become

    good citizens of our nation & be capable after becoming able to help all those

    within our reach at the time of their despair.

    As someone has quoted so perfectly that every hurdle we cross teaches us a

    lesson, & every mistake gives a chance to correct ourselves, every time we

    commit a mistake a new lesson is learned, the wise is one who learns from these

    mistakes, we all have different goals, perspectives in our lives, & to achieve them

    we just need to rewind the magnetic ribbon of our brain & locate our past

    mistakes & by forwarding the same ribbon reach the present & eliminate the

    chances of committing the same mistake again. For this process, we need to

    practice the yogic aasanas / exercises, which shall help us in visiting the past

    within a blink of the eye. Concentration exercises have been proven as a

    successful tool for such type of self-realizations.

    Enough on this subject, because we humans need a change now & than, therefore

    starting a fresh subject, as most of us are aware that this universe works on

    certain laws & these laws work on some mathematical calculations, and these

    calculations are based on numbers from 0 to 9 & by addition, multiplication,

    subtraction & division, we have arrived to hundreds, thousands, million, billion, ortrillion, or in Sanskrit language, shankh, padam, etc etc, or in hindi ek, do, dus,

    hazar, lakh, dus lakh, karod, dus karod, and so on.

    All these numbers keep revolving & evolving around us all the time, & due to

    certain combinations, changes occur in our lives, each planet has been allotted a

  • 7/31/2019 A Beautiful Practical Thought

    11/14

    Be happy this is the only way ofbeing wise

    11 | P a g e

    Shiva shashi dhar

    number & this number primary or secondary as well as a birth number is taken

    into calculations, there after arrived at a conclusion. Depending upon ones

    primary as well as birth number, the subject shall have the positive or negative

    aspects of those planets.

    Traits like the mood, body structure, likes & dislikes, eyes, shape of the hand,

    temperament are virtues of a planet can be observed in a person thereafter

    recommendations are made, so as to decrease the ill effect of a particular

    number.

    The effects good or bad cant be altered with because as a child is born, even if

    mentioned this way that from the time of conception, most of the basic traits are

    also born along with the child & as the baby develops, so does these traits.

    Utmost care should be taken by the bearing mother in terms of food intakes,

    sound vibrations, (as earlier mentioned about the law of universe) so that the

    child is not disturbed, gets required nourishment through the bearers blood, as

    the time comes, a healthy child is born with the best qualities inherited by the

    parents DNA & made stronger with the proper caring in the GHARBA or the

    womb.

    Most of you must be thinking about as to what connection the numbers & thechild birth has, to establish a connection, it has been observed that at least 65% of

    the world population is born under the number 8, which can be derived by adding

    two numbers like, 17, 26, & 15% are born under 4, 13, 22. Out of rest of the 20%

    people are born under 1,3,5,7,9, 10,12,14,16,18 and so on.

    The lord of number 8 being Saturn, the lord of teachings, who teaches all of us

    about the rules & regulations of the creator by spreading so many types of road

    bends, humps, hurdles, & while passing each day He always helps us to improve

    so that we are worth being called humans.

    It has been observed that the persons born under this number go through various

    hardships but always come out as refined as the time passes, the born fighters are

    very helping in nature, sober, emotional but ever alert, excellent soldiers,

    12 | P a g e

    Shiva shashi dhar

    commanders, leaders, fighters, while as other people born under other numbers

    are good writers, artists, painters, businessmen, excellent explorers, adventurers.

    In addition, they are not so boring like the number 8, especially if this number is

    an associate of number 2, then the chances rise. In any eventuality the numbereight people are always ahead.

    Other attributes can be observed at the time of a proper consultation with a

    numerologist, the same way an astrologer, who considers the planetary positions

    at the time of understanding the persons overall condition.

    Like other sciences, these practices are much older to the present day scientific

    findings & all over the world one can come face to face with such king of a

    soothsayer, or an astrologer, palmist, numerologist, like a gemologist whose work

    is to understand the right type of a gem for a person based on astro,

    numerological calculations.

    These have been used from the time immemorial, yes.. earlier without

    knowledge, & then ancient people understood the usage & put these practical but

    scientific ways of enriching their lives, and living with the natural forces, & being

    one with the laws of universe.

    which is as simple as getting attracted to a beautiful child, this law of attraction is

    so simple & innocent that whatever we give in the same comes out, so why not

    give as much positivity as possible so that we live in a positive atmosphere,

    surrounding, neighborhood, nation & a world in common, without the virtual

    barriers of cast, creed, color, race, language, wealthy & poor.

    All have the same blood, which is red in color, irrespective of the skin color, when

    HE did not differentiate then why us???????

    Be a human with humanity.should be the slogan for 2012 & onwards?? Is this

    possible..!!!!!

    There have always been some differences in understanding & interpreting the

    message / guidelines (as inscribed in most of the religious scriptures) from the

    time we humans got our present face & structure from the apes. All have tried

    there level best to translate the holy scriptures for the betterment of the

    generations next to them, & as the time evolved, the holy knowledge too

    revolved but evolved in a different manner, some of the examples can be taken

    into consideration to understand the actual & true message.

    As in the eastern part of the world universe exists in endless cycles of creation,

    preservation & destruction. There is also no absolute end to this world, neither is

    there any duplicity of God & world, but a single unified one.

    On the other the world was created by God & at some point in the future will be

    forever destroyed by Him. He is distinct from it & rules above. Stresses a dualistic

    nature of the world.

    We have one absolute God & most of us speak of Him, souls are destined to

    receive Gods grace through a process of varied experiences in their lives. All

    depends upon the usage of ones intellect, maturity & above all pure love &

    compassion for & by the God.

    One God & only one true religion, & those who accept this fact, Gods grace shall

    be enjoyed by them & others not accepting this fact shall repent, suffer eternally

    in hell. As God is loving and also wrathful.

    So many questions are asked especially young ones that does God really exist &

    most of us are perplexed by these questions at times. The proof of HIS existence

    lies in pure & direct communion & indirectly through an enlightened guru. T he

    God realized saints, seers, of all times & ages who revealed the ancient scriptures

    to the seekers from ages, even today there are so many who direct the seekers

    for their up liftment in spiritual pursuits.

    In western world, the proof ofGods love & promise for man is in the person ofHis Prophet & in His unchanging & unique revealed scriptures.

    Self-experience in the mystical path God is the only truth of religion, we can &

    must know Him during our stay on this earth, which shall be individual &

    introspective.

    It is mandatory for a man to seek personal knowledge of God; the knowledge of

    religion is not experience but full Faith & Trust,which adds to the virtues of ones

    life, socially oriented & extroverted.

    When a man suffers, it is because of his immaturity, a person on a progressivepath leads him from ignorance to knowledge & from death to immorality. While

    some think, is due to disobedience to the Gods will,non-belief & non-acceptance

    of His law.

    Self- conduct & true belief is the foundation stone of any religious life, & to

    prepare this foundation self- liberation knowledge & personal attainment & not

    belief shall lead us to Him. Belief of religion being a historic event started with a

    prophet & His event, even stressed that on the past deeds & the punishment in

    the future is the origin of a religion, while as we all know history never repeats at

    least the same way as it occurred at the first time.

    The actual purpose of the life is to evolve, with ones experienceof spiritualistic

    destiny & the material things are not the purpose of our lives in this world. Some

    of the other thoughts are that the destiny lies beyond this world & not the

    purpose of this life & world.

    So many beliefs in a single world, wherein we all have the same body parts, sameblood, only varies in the grouping, due to fusion of parental DNA, otherwise we

    were created by the Creator as one race, which for the benefit of a handful was

    divided, subdivided, & further divided as per their own whims & fancies.
