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.
Love, children, happiness & wealth will come to answer your hopes. Devoted to
your husbands needs, be girded for immortality.
Unite, O lord, this couple like a pair of lovebirds, May they surrounded by children
be, living both long & happily.
May the lord of the clouds protect our stores, piled high in our homes , May the
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,

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.
B =Brain .keep this full of good thoughts / ideas.
C = Charity if one has in abundance.give tosomeone needy.
D = Dhyana / concentrate on the one Almightyto erase racism.

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

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,
-

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.
