Bhagavad Gita in Facebook

 
After finish reading the Trilogy of esoteric knowledge
Bhagavad Gita, Bible, Quran

I adopt that medium to share what I learned and started with Bhagavad Gita.

Holy Bible

 
I promised myself this year no matter what I am going to finish reading the BIBLE.
but main obstacle is finding it.
what do you mean? you may ask,
you can find Bible anywhere or everywhere right,
no, I am not reading any bible, I want the TRUTH
THE REAL TRUTH.
what really Jesus said to mankind?
what is his mission, why everybody against of him those days?
what everybody is learning around the world is real preaching's of Jesus or contaminated version? 
I am eagerly waiting for the book written by
Acharya Prabodananda Yogeeswarlu.
when I telephoned and requested his office members for the copy they said we will ask him because
he is not lending the copy since the sensational truth in it is not for general public and it created a frenzy in the community when he released years back.
I got really disappointed but unexpectedly went to India and visited him and requested him personally.
he was impressed with my enthusiasm and my reading list and thought I am a Truth seeker not a trouble and happily gave me a copy.
I was overjoyed and thanked him million times and left with the treasure.
boy what a shocker and it's a small book not with thousands of pages like mainstream bible.
he mentioned in the book he print this book with pure Jesus teaching and left the rest out.
just like he did with Bhagavad Gita and Holy Quran.
cleaning it up and ruthlessly cleared contamination from the holy scriptures for the benefit of the Mankind.
he mentioned in his other writings that mankind must treat
Bhagavad Gita, Bible and Quran
 all three as a trilogy and then only they understand the TRUTH and everything make sense.
three books are about ONE Supreme God and ONE TRUTH.
All three are filled with full of Esoteric knowledge and they are not at all about physical/material world.
so that means, when ever who ever is relating these books with physical world, they are not telling the truth.

roller coaster ride

when we stand out side looking up we are literally in the space  
standing still on grass means we are literally on ship called Earth.
moving all the time! even though we stand still,
while staring at the sky looking at the moon and stars, feeling the breeze, experiencing the enlightening moment and suddenly the question pops, how fast are we moving!?
lets find out :)



we are zooming 800 km/second across space!!
wow!!!!
hold that mesmerizing thought and see how it looks like in a different perspective how our solar system is moving when we stand still outside and staring at the sky!


solar system moves through space at 70,000 km/hr!!!
26,000 years precession cycle.
It takes about 226 million years to orbit the galactic center.

our home (earth) from moon
   so this is what all the spiritual teachers are trying to tell,
don't focus on the foolish stuff in life but focus on why you are here?
to experience and feel this ride?
and see, hear, touch, taste, smell the beauty with our five senses while having this ride. 
spirit and soul both yearning after all for that and that alone!?

what a roller coaster ride!!!
this perspective is not one single human being has ever experienced and i doubt ever will or the sooner the better.

My daughter's new project.
requires a lot of patience and love of art.



if anybody wants to give it a try
here is the link





Rosette/ Sugar waffles

few months back i am looking for a recipe online and unexpectedly saw a video about the long forgotten favorite Kerala delicacy of my teenage years.
Achappam or challaguttulu- gulabi poolu in telugu.


after watching the video, i thought these are easy to make and saved it and searched online for the mold to buy but couldn't find it. so i put that thought to
"what to buy when i visit India list"  
and forgot about it.

recently my husband wants to go long drive on country side and 
visit balloon fest along the way. 
 
my son is ready, me and my daughter are back and forth and joined them at the last minute. like something inside guided me that i must go. so i did.

me and my son walking around the field and an old lady walking with Achappam in her hands!!!!
 i must be hallucinating, and thought, do i really wanted them that bad? 
i ask my son to make sure she really walking with them and to confirm i am not hallucinating.
He thought i lost my mind, 
 guess what!! i thought i did too kiddo, 
but he conformed she is walking with bag full of achppam!



enthusiastically i started walking the opposite direction where she is coming from and Bam!
At the rural Ohio, in a Balloon festival, i found Achappam but they call them sugar waffles!
 

they taste same, crunchy and semi sweet, awesome!
but in India they don't dust sugar powder on them.
if they make here, they sell molds too right, now i know the name sugar waffles and searched online again, but the original name is Rosette.
these pastries are Swedish and Norwegian origin. 

Rosette recipes are popular in the United States among families with Scandinavian ancestry.
 
what a small beautiful world we have as a human species. 
and what a coincidence is that!
that's why earlier i felt that i must go to festival at the last minute?
still unbelievable experience.
synchronicity at it's best.

what is normal and abnormal?

normal people? abnormal person?
who gives these labels to whom?
what is this commotion between normality and abnormality.
who decides these label?
if a person reached out of your expectation or your vision  you call that person abnormal?
a person may be out of box thinker and you try your best to drag that person back in to it,
since it is too much for adjudicator to even try to experience that out of box journey, they simply label a thinker rather than becoming part of it.



Some things should not be taken literally, its about a simple concept, people are basically sheep and there is so much comfort to be part of a herd, but not all, some go in a different direction. I understand this without having to articulate...
It is all a state of mind.
out of box thinkers always abnormal. because they think.
Its all about honest choice.
be honest to yourself and your choices. 
that's all it matters at the end.
at the end no one is going to be there, but yourself.  
some take hundreds of lifetimes to get it. 
for some that understanding is happening
NOW. 

meanwhile.....
 "The test of a first rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function."

science of self-realization (Bhagavad Gita)

Knowledge is a treasure and it is a gift of the Lord. If you sharpen it with good education and the spirit of inquiry, the Ultimate Reality will be revealed to you in a flash.
_sage of Kanchi 
 
 Finally, after years of searching for straightforward translation, Krishna gave me permission to read Bhagavad gita, overwhelmed with gratitude and I offer my respectful obeisances to my spiritual master and guide, 
The soul with in me for the opportunity.

I offer my respectful obeisances unto all the Vaisnava devotees of the Lord who can fulfill the desires of everyone, just like desire trees, and who are full of compassion for the fallen and conditioned spirits like mine . 
 
highly recommended bhagavad-geeta sources to read are:

I Am Restless




I am restless. I am athirst for far-away things.
My soul goes out in a longing to touch the skirt of the dim distance.
O Great Beyond, O the keen call of thy flute!
I forget, I ever forget, that I have no wings to fly, that I am bound in this spot evermore.

I am eager and wakeful, I am a stranger in a strange land.
Thy breath comes to me whispering an impossible hope.
Thy tongue is known to my heart as its very own.
O Far-to-seek, O the keen call of thy flute!
I forget, I ever forget, that I know not the way, that I have not the winged horse.

I am listless, I am a wanderer in my heart.
In the sunny haze of the languid hours, what vast vision of thine takes shape in the blue of the sky!
O Farthest end, O the keen call of thy flute!
I forget, I ever forget, that the gates are shut everywhere in the house where I dwell alone!

~ Rabindranath Tagore
























destination




"The end of religion is the beginning of spirituality. 

The end of spirituality is the beginning of reality, 

and the end of reality is real Bliss. 

When that too is gone, we have reached the destination."
