Premium Member Surya Namaskar - Patanjali's Lost Sutras

First motion is practiced at sunrise
With devout courage and humble strength,
Unobserved, unguided, and alone.

First motion glides over the accent.
Some say swan dive, some jack-knifed tractor trailer,
Balanced graceful as a feather on the sharp edge of a sword.

First motion goes down with a karma chaser.
Repeat until you leave with empty pockets.
First motion isn’t drunk, just happy-go-lucky.

First motion is taken as given, 
Today, and the day after today, and tomorrow.
Having so prepared, one is ever poised to face battle.
As Prince Arjuna knows, this world is no place for pussies.

Tesu a Folk Love Story of India 6

Tesu A Folk Love Story of India  Part. 6

Prelude Note: Please see Part 05 for Prelude Note

Important Note: Sorry friends for some delay in writing the next part 6th of this 
Beautiful Love Story. The reason for writing this wonderful story is the fact the gradually the traditional singers (boys and girls) of Tesu, who used to come once in a year with the earthen pot and a light in it on their heads,  while singing the songs of Tesu have almost disappeared. This year on Dewali no Tesu was seen by me. I hope that those who have an open heart for other cultures and their beliefs and traditions would welcome this series and would find wonderful love story worth enjoying. Love and best wishes…..




Tesu A Folk Love Story of India  Part. 6

While planning the strategy of Mahabharata* war,
Krishna was worried only about one thing,
He knew that there was none to match his Arjuna 
His most beloved disciple  except the mighty warrior Tesu. 15

Unfortunately that hero Tesu was preparing to fight
From the side of Kauravas, who were on a wrong path
Krishna also knew that Tesu's weakness was his determination
That he would fight for those, who were weak and at a losing end. 16

Krishna also knew that Tesu was true to his commitments
And he would not agree to change his side only because
Lord Krishna was asking him to fight from the side of those
Who wanted to establish the principles of truth and justice. 17

Premium Member Doing Duty

Arjuna, a grand warrior, well habited to,
Fight against nastiest of warrior crew;
Finds himself faced with kith and kin
To fight a war, hence, he fears within;
Dilemma-filled he calls out to God,
God hears him and hurries to his aid;
Erasing the doubts shrouding him,
He bids him his duties to perform;
Duty of a warrior is fighting, he says,
Not ever thinking of victory of loss;
Pleasure or pain or victory or defeat
Reckon on actions with no deceit;
Fighting against inner inclinations, 
Demeanors, evil desires, illusions;
Losing all that’s imperfection within,
Combating to gain the life’s soul win;
Knowledge combined with love is ideal,
Action and no inaction – must be real;
Doing duties with no fruit expectance,
Must be the pursuit of human existence;
Though it may not be always possible,
Striving towards it is, indeed, feasible...

Blood Has No Caste

The calamity on the leaders of the dynasty was very heavy.
 Drona, Bhishma, Arjuna, all faded, all getting sad,
 A Suyodhana rose, speaking, 'Veer!  Well done!'

 He again challenged Parth (Arjun) for a duel,
 The Guru hinted at Arjun to remain silent.
 Kripacharya said- 'Listen, heroic unknown young man'
 Arjuna is the child of Bharata-dynasty-Avatans Pandu.

 'It is a Kshatriya, it is a Rajput, who will not fight like this,
 How would one jump into the melee?
 If you want to fight with Arjun, do not go silent in the gathering
 Say something, tell me who are you? '

 'Caste! Oh caste!  Karna's heart throttles,
 Looking at the enraged Sun, he spoke with heroic anger
 'Caste-caste rites, whose capital is only heresy,
 What should I know?  These are my arms.

 'Kanak-chhatra on the head above, black-within-black,
 Don't be shy about asking people in the world.
 I am a sutraputra, but who was father Parth?
 Say courage, do not remain silent in guilt.

 'You raise the head, you take the name of the caste,
 But, with the power of unrighteous exploitation, you thrive in happiness.
 Your soul trembled with the half-castes,
 You ask for the donation of thumb by deception.

Premium Member The Awakened Warrier


Source material : The Hinduism classical mythology epic, The Mahabharata.


Arjuna, the great worrier of the Mahabharata epic,
stands transfixed at the fringe of Kurukshetra battlefield,
hears the thunder of thousand conch shells
announce the start of the valiant battle.
He lifts his heavy bow, but it slips from his hands.
His brave spirit falters,
for he sees in front his kins and mentors,
lined up to fight against him;
he ponders to win the war he needs to kill them.
Faced with humane predicament
the hero in him feels disheartened,
for the load of bravery is too heavy to bear,
urging him to exit the battlefield.
He asks his conscience in despair,
“what is the meaning of victory 
if it entails killing the loved and revered ones.?”

He then hears the godly voice of his charioteer
that echoes the eternal truth :
“the soul is immortal and indestructible,
transcends birth and death.
Perform you duty with equanimity as a worrier,
for true karmic liberation lies in seeing oneself
as an artifact of divine will,
balancing the modes of success and failure.”

Transformed by the guidance of his charioteer,
Arjuna comes out of the emotional dilemma,
regains his mental acumen
that expands his vision beyond victory and defeat,
far away from the conundrum life and death 
to perceive selflessly the need 
for surrender to the supreme.
His gloomy mind is then illumined 
by the gracious glare of dharma.

As he picks up his bow and arrow 
for the fiercest of all battles,
he realizes that the toughest battle of life
is fought within the awakened soul.

Premium Member Wars One and All

War at Kurukshetra (Bharat) was great,
Where human and divine face to face met;
Arjuna and Pandavas won the tough war,
Arrogant powers of Gauravas brunt bore;
Could this be compared to Goliath-David?
Where humility and faith in God got elated;
Though won and gained glories abundant,
David depended on divine triumphant;
Arjuna, in Kurkshetra war, knew his power,
Yet pleaded the power of God to empower;
God too heeded him and came to his help,
Does God leave the children just to self-help? 
Though the war was fought long-long ago,
Implications of it make us many miles go;
When we’re wearied and need God’s favor,
He’s ready waiting to hold our hands ever;
Amidst sufferings and shadows of pain,
Decease and death and physical corruption;
Hands of God is ever extended over us,
His footprints guide and safely lead us;
Kurukshetra war or Israel-Palestine fight,
Buddhist uprising or Chinese conflict;
Abyssinia or Somalia or Yugoslavia,
Lebanese fights or wars of Pakistan-India;
Humans should control the surging ego,
Or fall will go before their pride does go; 
Forgetting divine power if we proceed,
History will forever to involution recede…

Premium Member Atman, Atman

I have no clue what Krshna taught Arjuna
but I like the name Atman a lot.
Atman. Atman. Where a man is at.
At all times. No matter what.
Gita, get in the action, gorgeous girl,
God is the answer, keep the meter.

Wisdom, none. 
What Krshna tells Arjuna makes no sense.
I prefer mathematics.
Knowledge of how things are made and done
more than meditation on the Self
as a manifestation of the One.

I’ll never have to leave this comfortable planet.
We have this asset but can we sell it?
In Paradise Lost, Satan executes his plan
but God already knows all about it.
Still, whether it succeeds or fails is up to Man.
Same here, when it comes to nuclear armaments,
a distraction from the work of making life permanent.

It is all premised on the mystery
of invisible but sentient particles—
little Krshnas and Kachinas
nesting inside one another.
Meanwhile life goes on outside all around you—
WWII, the Napoleonic wars,
the Civil War which we’re still fighting.

Krshna says behead your brothers 
without prejudice or justice.
So it transpires in the nuclear fire.
Whatever forever.
Teacher, teacher—tiger!

Negative People Criticize

"Criticizing others is akin to criticizing God" 
"Moment we are critical of our critic we become a critic"
Quote by Author
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Words pierce the soft heart, stay there forever
Mind recollects them oftentimes in life
Spoken words for lifelong give joy or tear
Still criticizing others is in rife

Feeling worthless, many tears often shed
depression often ends in suicide
Painful thoughts, existing as living dead
If they did the same, wouldn't it hurt your pride

You speak out of hatred, bloated ego
He who can't praise is never respected
Only if your habits you will forego,
you will receive love, help, praise and respect

For critical talks you're hated by all
All condemn, in everyone's eyes you fall
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bhagvad Gita 18.61 - The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy.

Matthew 7: 1-3
Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
