SNAKE IN AN ICU

Every moment around Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a lesson in the Art of Living!
I heard this latest story from teacher-

Recently a big King Cobra had been lying inside a water pipe in Guruji's Kutir.
When Guruji realised that the the snake had not moved for a couple of days, he had the snake gently removed from the pipe and called a veterinary doctor. The doctor dioganised the problem as that of food poisoning. Guruji was so concerned about the health of the snake that he had the snake moved to an intensive care unit in a veterinary hospital in Bangalore.
This is another glimpse of our master's unconditional love. His love is constant, be it male or female, rich or poor, human or animal.

INDIAN HELL.

“प्रेम कर भिल्लासारखं “

पुरे झाले चंद्र-सुर्य , पुरे झाल्या तारा
पुरे झाले नदी नाले, पुरे झाला वारा

मोरासारखा छातीकाढून उभा राहा
जाळासारखा नजरेत नजर बांधून पाहा
सांग तिला . . .
तुझ्या मिठीत स्वर्ग आहे सारा

शेवाळलेले शब्द आणिक यमक-छंद करतील काय?
डांबरी सडकेवर श्रावण इन्द्रधनु बांधील काय?
उन्हाळ्यात्ल्या ढगासारखा हवेत बसशील फिरत
जास्तित-जास्त १२ महिने बाई बसेल झुरत
नंतर तुला लगीन चिठ्ठी आल्याशिवाय राहिल काय?

म्हणून म्हणतो जागा हो जाण्यापूर्वीवेळ
प्रेम नाही अक्षरांच्या भातुकलीचा खेळ

प्रेम म्हणजे वणवा होउन जाळत जाणं
प्रेम म्हणजे जंगल होऊन जळत राहाणं

प्रेम कर भिल्लासारखं
बाणावरती खोचलेलं
मातीमध्ये उगवून सुध्धा
मेघापर्यंत पोहोचलेलं

शब्दांच्या या धुक्यामधे अडकुनकोस
बुरूजावरती झेंड्यासारखा फडकू नकोस

उधळून दे तुफ़ान सारं मनामधे साचलेलं
प्रेम कर भिल्लासा्रखं बाणावरती खोचलेलं...

Smile

Q: Guruji, i can't smile, coz i have not achieved anything worthwhile in life. Please help...

A: You have come here, that is enough :) Don't wait to achieve something to smile... Smile first, then maybe you will achieve something...



Be like a small baby. What has a baby achieved? It is so completely dependent, yet it smiles doesn't it?!

Don't be Nervous

You could hear this from outside a closed door in a hospital:

"...Its ok... don't worry, its really a minor operation, NOTHING can possibly go wrong... you will be in and out in a few minutes, don't be nervous, why are you worried..."

A man, clearly the patient comes rushing out, slams the door and locks it and starts to run away... When asked why he was running away when there was no need to worry, he looked furtively about and said:

What you heard... that was the nurse talking to the doctor!!!!!!

असाव कुणीतरी......

असाव कुणीतरी......
आपल्या हाकेला 'ओ' देणार.....
रिमझिंत्या पावसात हळूच छत्रीत बोलावनार..
असाव कुणीतरी......

आपल्या सोबत चालणार..
चांदण्यात फिरताना हातात हात घेणार..
असाव कुणीतरी......

कधी वाद घालणार..
खोटा रुसवा आणून,
पुन्हा आपल्यावरच रागवणार..
असाव कुणीतरी......

मनमोकळ बोलणार..
काहीही न सांगता,
अगदी मनातल ओळखणार..
असाव कुणीतरी......
खूप काही विचारणार..
लहान लहान गोष्टीसाठी शपथ घालणार..
असाव कुणीतरी...................

♥♥♥ ...प्रेमात पडूयात थाटात... ♥♥♥

पाऊस अणि जमीन,यांचे किती सुंदर प्रेम,
जमीन झेलायला आतूर,पावसाचा प्रत्येक थेंब ..... !
माझ्या आयुष्यात तू,पावसासारखं बरसावं,
तू बरसण्यासाठी मी,रात्रंदिवस तरसावं ..... !
जगभर पडावी,
आपल्या प्रेमाच्याविजांची रोशणाई,
ती बघून मग,
हसत हसत निसर्गानेतुझी करावीमाझ्याकडे बिदाई ..... !
पुरे झाला तुझा तो,
हो-नाही,
हो-नाहीचा गडगडाट;
पटकन एकदाचं "हो" म्हण,
मग......प्रेमात पडूयात थाटात...!!!

ti ani paus

मला पहाचय तिला एकदा पावसात भिजताना,
सर-सरनार्या सरींमध्धे ओली-चींब होताना...

पहिल्या वहिल्या पावसात,
ती नाच नाच नाचेल
चेहेर्यावरचं हस्य तिच्या,
आणखि खुलुन उठेल..
पाउस सुध्धा वेडा होईल,
तिला ओली करताना..
मला पहाचय तिला एकदा,
पावसात भिजताना...

भिजता भिजता हळूच,
ती केसं मोकळे सोडेल..
डोळ्यावरची ओली बट,
हळूच मागे सारेल..
उर्वशीही लाजवेल बिचारी,
तिचं मोहक रुप बघताना,
मला पहाचय तिला एकदा,
पावसात भिजताना...

भिजता भिजता कदाचीत,
ती माझी आठवन काढेल..
बरसनार्या त्या पावसालाही,
मग माझाच हेवा वाटेल..
पण,ख्ररच माला आठवेल का ती?
अस काही घडताना..
मला पहाचय तिला एकदा,
पावसात भिजताना...

पावसाळा चालू झाला की,
तिचेच विचार मनात येतात..
नकळतच डोळे माझे,
उगाचच पाणावतात..
पण,माझ्या भावना कळतात का तिला?
मी तिच्या आठवनीत भिजताना..
मला पहाचय तिला एकदा,
पावसात भिजताना...

कधीतरी पावसात ती,
माझ्या सोबत असेल..
मी तिच्या प्रेमात आणि,
ती पावसात भिजेल..
पुर्ण होईल का माझ स्वप्न?
मी या जगात असताना..

मला पहाचय तिला एकदा पावसात भिजताना,
सर-सरनार्या सरींमध्धे ओली-चींब होताना...

कणा.......

ओलखलत का सर मला?
पावसामध्ये आला कोणी
कपडे होते कर्दमलेले
अन केसांवारती पाणी

क्षणभर बसला नंतर हसला
बोलला वरती पाहून
गंगामाई पाहुनी आली
गेली घरट्यात राहून

माहेरवाशिन पोरीसारखी चार दिवस राहिली
मोकळ्या हाती जाईल कशी
बायको मात्र वाचली
बायकोला संगे घेउन सर
आता लढतो आहे
पडकी भिंत बांधतो आहे,चिखलगाल काढतो आहे

खिशाकडे हात जाताच
हसत हसत उठला
पैसे नको सर मला
जरा एकटेपणा वाटला

मोडून पडला संसार तरी
मोडला नाही कणा
पाठीवरती हात ठेवून
नुसते लढ म्हणा ......

MY DREAM

अशीच एक रम्य संध्याकाल असेन,
जिथे आम्हा दोघंशिवाय दुसरे कोणी नसेन.

अशीच एक रम्य संध्याकाल असेन,
आणि तिचा हात माझ्या हातात असेन.

अशीच एक रम्य संध्याकाल असेन,
जेंव्हा मी सगले काही विसरून तिच्याकड़े पाहत बसेन.

अशीच एक रम्य संध्याकाल असेन,
जेंव्हा मी तिच्या डोळ्यात स्वतहाला शोधत बसेन.

अशीच एक रम्य संध्याकाल असेन,
जेंव्हा तिच्या तय गोड़ हास्स्यामधे मी स्वतहाला बुडवून बसेन

MOST INSPIRING POAM

उडत्या पाखरांना

परतीची तमा नसावी

नजरेत सदा

नवी दिशा असावी

घरट्याचे काय आहे

बांधता येईल केव्हा ही

क्षितीजांच्याही पलीकडे

झेप घेण्याची जिद्द असावी

EIGHT LIES OF MY MOTHER

EIGHT LIES OF A MOTHER
This story begins when I was a child: I was born poor. Often we hadn'tenough to eat. Whenever we had some food, Mother often gave me her portionof rice. While she was transferring her rice into my bowl, she would say"Eat this rice, son! I'm not hungry."This was Mother's First Lie.
As I grew, Mother gave up her spare time to fish in a river near our house;she hoped that from the fish she caught, she could give me a little bitmore nutritious food for my growth. Once she had caught just two fish, shewould make fish soup. While I was eating the soup, mother would sit besideme and eat what was still left on the bone of the fish I had eaten; Myheart was touched when I saw it. Once I gave the other fish to her on mychopstick but she immediately refused it and said, "Eat this fish, son! Idon't really like fish."This was Mother's Second Lie.
Then, in order to fund my education, Mother went to a Match Factory tobring home some used matchboxes which she filled with fresh matchsticks.This helped her get some money to cover our needs. One wintry night I awoketo find Mother filling the matchboxes by candlelight. So I said, "Mother,go to sleep; it's late: you can continue working tomorrow morning." Mothersmiled and said "Go to sleep, son! I'm not tired."This was Mother's Third LieWhen I had to sit my Final Examination, Mother accompanied me. After dawn,Mother waited for me for hours in the heat of the sun. When the bell rang,I ran to meet her. Mother embraced me and poured me a glass of tea that shehad prepared in a thermos. The tea was not as strong as my Mother's love,Seeing Mother covered with perspiration; I at once gave her my glass andasked her to drink too. Mother said "Drink, son! I'm not thirsty!?8364;This was Mother's Fourth Lie.After Father's death, Mother had to play the role of a single parent. Sheheld on to her former job; she had to fund our needs alone. Our family'slife was more complicated. We suffered from starvation. Seeing our family'scondition worsening, my kind Uncle who lived near my house came to help ussolve our problems big and small. Our other neighbors saw that we werepoverty stricken so they often advised my mother to marry again. But Motherrefused to remarry saying "I don't need love."This was Mother's Fifth Lie.
After I had finished my studies and gotten a job, it was time for my oldMother to retire but she carried on going to the market every morning justto sell a few vegetables. I kept sending her money but she was steadfastand even sent the money back to me... She said, "I have enough money."That was Mother's Sixth Lie.
I continued my part-time studies for my Master's Degree. Funded by theAmerican Corporation for which I worked, I succeeded in my studies. With abig jump in my salary, I decided to bring Mother to enjoy life in Americabut Mother didn't want to bother her son; she said to me "I'm not used tohigh living."That was Mother's Seventh Lie
In her dotage, Mother was attacked by cancer and had to be hospitalized.Now living far across the ocean, I went home to visit Mother who wasbedridden after an operation. Mother tried to smile but I was heartbrokenbecause she was so thin and feeble but Mother said, "Don't cry, son! I'mnot in pain."That was Mother's Eighth Lie.
Telling me this, her eighth lie, she died.YES, MOTHER WAS AN ANGEL!
M - O - T - H - E - R"M" is for the Million things she gave me,
"O" means Only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the Tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her Heart of gold,
"E" is for her Eyes with love-light shining in them,
"R" means Right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell"MOTHER" a word that means the world to me. For those of you who are luckyto be still blessed with your Mom's presence on Earth, this story isbeautiful. For those who aren't so blessed, this is even more beautiful.
