Big Bubbles
They arise fast though
They wobble as they up grow
Pumped up n brimming with Life
They are heavy, they’re glistening
The way they expand as they flow
Trailing biggies are smaller ones
Restless in pursuit eager to go
Bubbling bursting with joy… pop
They draw grow collide..bump Awake. I AM
In swiveling’ wigglings a struggle quandary
Journeying form fluidous Hold on to stay perfect
Trust the wind draughts take me farthest highest
Chart trace their path. Swiftest brightest fast
Randomly Orderly Or remain true to
Predict not. Thy Cast
Patterns.
Spontaneous
Free Unburdened
They appear joyful
they burst into.
Laughter. Some aloof
Are self absorbed
As witness of scape
seemingly lone them
Are playing a part
hurry On the stage
NebulouS
Is This birth … in
EnJoy.… the journey
No time wait
Ascend As
You. Play
Whatever be
The course there
Is never any doubt
Not a quandary
In the Self
Carry on!
No Self doubt
In A short breath
This Is what the
bubble said
..:)
WitnesS
Play on the panorama
There is an overlooked
Ignored. Aspect
Fact Truth
All. Of
Identity. Existence
Knowing. Explorings
Of being. Diversities
Their origins. Experiences
Are born from the same
Womb

Amitabh Divakar Poem
..............Baby Steps Out..
..........There's a waiting world
.......Doctors nurses eager staff
......A doting father, mother in pain
.....It is said that we chose our birth
....An act of free will, desired destiny
....The paths are all charted by our will
....This birthday I decided to recall..loll
......A memory jog, back to time of birth
.........An unborn peeping into his future
..............The little steps on roads ahead
.................Unfolding destiny milestones
.....................Cherished moments in wait
.....................Some vivid some smudged
.....................Hand drawn on masterprint
..................Paths to travel people to meet
................The resting places n thirst stops
...............Careful leaps on stepping stones
...........The journeys that were yet to unfold
.........All vivid in storehouse before take-off
.....In the sojourn I was told: Precious is birth
...In baby steps or our giant strides a purpose
.The joys or sufferings are like passing screens
There is an axis a polestar guiding & connecting
A constant the unchanging in all that is changing
Distracted get our senses by colors cacophonies
.Not difficult to lose the picture in such a journey
...Precious is birth- holds many a promise....es ....
......like many seeds...finding ground.. ..yes !!
.........pods germinate ..stored... ..loved ..
...............friends near far ...unmet :)
......................thank you.....<3.....
.................................Fam ....frnds
.........................................................for remembering
.............................................................flowing wishes

How about a One Pot Kitchen
Minimalist to the Max
First sort out Food
Millet - 5 grains
And a Clay pot
Rotate millets
Every 2 days
Soak and boil
Soak for 8 hrs.
In 5 times water
Leave it overnight
Thereafter COOK it !
first thing in the morning
Slow cook an hour on flame
Toss some greens and veggies
The porridge gets ready as base
With warm soup as the first course
add some crackling spice in Niger oil
Now we need just 1 more vessel ..that ..is ...all
I use a cast Iron ‘ kadahi’ from here on
Flame it hot ..cast iron pot...pour Ghee
Add some chopped onions spices et al.
The cooked millet porridge is tossed in
And voila you can make any no.of dish
And yes. NO compulsory need for Salt.
Now the real fun is ‘time management’
In a 24 hour cycle- Clay Pot is utilized
8 hrs soak 16 hrs to store the cooked
Lunch at 11 dinner by7 that’s 8+16 hr
(A 16 hr gap is suggested in between
2 big meals with light eat in evening)
Yes. Entire day the food stays fresh
+ Slight fermenting is encouraged
some add curd or coconut water
Sprouts ginger garlic turmeric
Boiled eggs potatoes sage
Vinegar Garnish
.
Millets in Clay pot

The

Nectar of Life,
Earth beats : The Notes Fertile.
?¿
IF
Only
We could;
Harvest every

Cities....And every!!
speck O Grain that is
produced in our Fields
Thinking Sustainability
We would be- well off.
A life of Sufficiency
and Prosperity
For All
.
Welcome Monsoon Rains!
.
A sobering Chinese thought
'All of the progress on earth
All of human achievements;
Can be attributed to,
1. The Six inch top soil,
2. and the fact -That it Rains'

The cycle of life :

Our Life......As An ...inverted......tree
Asvatha it is called
it is tree of life,
Name implies:
‘Not Forever’
Inverted it is
has its roots
in the skies
trunk below
oh it seems
topsy turvy
our world;
away from
its source
far away.
shooting
spreading
alive-gross
our desires
branches off
our Karmic fold
work. duties deeds
..desires necessities routes
Ordained in-ordained destinies
Deja vu surprises I knew it why me !
Branches bifurcating swaying together outreaching
Joys and Agonies All drawing from A common source
.now on their own accord erect strong grown
Bearing leaves flowers. fruits. inviting avians
Inviting cats for a nap inspiring kids to climb
Inverted Tree Metaphor Explaining Our Lives
Animate...alive...drawing from source...yet
forgetting at times. Was contained in a seed;
Space;Time; Destiny pulled it down. Now earthly
every season wearing a new appearance - Tree of Life
Knowledge gathered are the leaves and flowers
With seasons; some shed; some bear fruits
The fruits are a result of our actions; Karma
Karma are the fruits that the tree bears- only to drop
Tree sheds the fruits, in renunciation
In its own search for nature, aground
The fruits contain seeds
The seed beholding tree
The distance is abridged
As the tree regerminates
In reality or in potentiality
The separation- was never in distance
never a measure
was appearance
our forgetfulness
as we branch off
only to complete
the time journeys
enacted in space
In a play
no birth;
no death
.
Moksha- Is only a concept

Money+Politics
Lurking is the Devil
Donation OR Charity
With/ without objective
Nature of money is to roll
Money must move or it decays
Money is said to have only 3 roles
The first and the best is for Charity
The second comes Enjoyment or 'Bhog'
The third- the result of inaction is Decay or ' Naash'
Yes money can destruct
Money destructs money
Question begging an answer is - What is Charity!
Can offering for a purpose be termed as honest giving?'
Can a political donation by a gun lobby be termed charity?
There are laws for performing good charities
Offerings for self benefit are fuelled by greed
Uncontrolled greed is the way to destruction
Offerings are not bribes to salivating deities
No one writes cheques to any unworthy
Let force moving money be wisdom
Or even charity can be destruction
Oh! In political terms it isn't charity
it is termed as legitimate donation
Blood diamonds , Gun lobbies...
Drug cartels...Loot and plunder...toss a few coins ..SMOKING GUNS
Better still buy off a democracy
Doesn't matter which Govt.!
We cannot live sans money
We cannot be without guns
Cannot do away the politics
How we search for Wisdom
Children Are On Crosshair
.
.
On Gun Violence:
..................Has a new culture taken roots
.........Or worse the tree sprouting new shoots
.....In its wake now nurturing trigger happy kids
Can there be a moral solution to a technological problem?
Trying to find a political will to curb gun control is erroneous
Politics of the times builds mighty armies in name of defense
My jewellry; A semi-automatic; I proudly own; Now- cocksure
How a weapon of mass destruction is now resting on my desk.
....................................Most unfortunate J
.....................................how technology A
......................................is nurturing. M
.......................................trigger

Amitabh Divakar Poem
“ We are
What we eat“
We’ve heard
this before
~§~
Our body is made of
All the plant and animal DNA
Yes that is our ancient wisdom …
Now Modern science looks at body
A Tad differently , elements, calories
The body is seen as a machinery .Car
Engine is heart etc. Nutrition Facts Data
In Yogic sciences. Body has chakras
In neuroscience Body Mind Waves
Four stages Body functions
Body. Intelligent
Is Living. electromagnetic
Has Memories stored in every cell
Has consciousness Every cell is throbbing
Human body is a Beholder of star light
Container also. Is one transmitter
An instrument. A kind of device
A repository Carries a Will
A collective. Memory pool
Transferred. DhruvaSmriti
Over period When aligned
The. Humans
Beholder. Are made
Of light Of Food Out of Love
Our Intake
Constituents
All of our thoughts
All that the body consumes
Through all its senses, Makes us
The device connects to the farthest-
AhaarShuddha leads to SattvaShuddhi
Purity of intake leads to Purity of Being
SattvaShuddha leads to DhruvaSmriti
DhruvaSmriti is our farthest memory
Dhruva is the Polestar . Our axis
Smriti is imprinted memory
Our resource pool
Deepest
Stored
Wealth
all of?
the knowledge
of the universe is within
One has to learn to knock~
At the source of the knowledge
thankfully some of the source is..
?in the form of code encapsulated
?Available to us to be read or sung
In language , floral , metered song
Song celestial the Words in rhythm,
Songs in Vibrant Sattvic Oscillations
To be read, sung, as mantra or chants
?Gods Akashic resources play at source
From larger cosmic intelligence-'Mahat'
Contemplated; reflected or told as Lores
?Essentially Gita is -The Song of the Gods
?Something special the way they're written
The words flow as threads right to -Source
?These are also called Sutra- the path or links?
Encapsulated; Coiled; storehouse of memories?
Memories as distant recall inviting the arrow to pierce : DHRUVASRIMTI.
Memories as distant light flowing down the axis
?The axis aligned to the primal code is Dhruva
The pole star the primal memory seed Smriti
?Dhruvasmriti -deriving all our living memory
?From point of radiant light -at the farthest
From where in Space and Time emerges
All human experience and merges back
?into the source at the point of memory
Flows eternal expression in continuum
Living at the source; in truth is Sattva
Sattva is a state of body-mind-being
As is the Universe; So is human body
As in- 'Yathapinde TathaBrahmande '
?The memories aligned to the source
?Body's access to its memory codes
At the tip of the axis is primal seed
The farthest distant resting within
The source term it thy 'Shiva Self'
the Jiva;Being stationed in Shiva
The target of the arrow to strike
?in larger cosmic being- Brahma
'OM is the bow; Soul the arrow
And BRAHMA is the target ~
Knowing ATMA as alone
Throw off three state
Wake/dream/sleep
never to be born
again. MOKSHA
Upanishads

A sinking feeling
In the City of Djinns
...Pollution is down by 20 % this year
One reason given is economic slowdown
Happy souls- worlds second most populous
A free liberal atmosphere diversity of cultures
Ancient history worlds largest democracy bit by
Growth demon
Expectations
Governance
Infiltrations
Migrations
Right wing
exceptions
Promissory
New polity
Brought in
A New Law
is suspected
anti minority
discriminatory
protest provocations taking turns
clash of ideologies
Capital Burns
OH! Delhi
In a
Tail-
Spin
In the war of Left-Right. Forgotten is Head -Spine
Flying beauties. in Balance & poise
Ever squabbling. Political animals
Still your mind. and take note
Bird flies on 3 wings
Minus rudder
is
cause for
tailspin

A Few
Things
About
What is Money after all
The biggest Security we can have
Locked in Wealth. Safe n secure
Immovable Assets
In everyday. Liquid
Transactions. In cash
Investments At risk
Diversification is key
Is beautiful in gold
Precious diamonds n jewelry
Invest in Art as an asset class
Ok Can’t buy love with money
Honey I belong to poor class
Trust is infallible asset
In God We Trust- Fed
Crypto. Bankman Fried
Funny. Rich in money
Don’t laugh Crash is not funny
Get serious. money Can be a toxic
Donate. Gift Charity is the best use
Enjoy Consume till it lasts cautious
Aware of the worst case
In bad Fate
Money
Is Loss
Cause for
Destruction
Do not store
Steak in a doghouse
The bee toils collects honey
The wealth is luring; invites heist of hive
Wish I had an alchemists drive: pick up scrap and turn it into gold
For everyday transaction would need magic to turn a leaf into promissory
Without these skills, how do I survive; The Systems of Modern Slavery

A “
Light
Aflame
Alight on
A note on- “Brahmarandhra”:-
An aperture in the crown- in our head
In acupressure is referred as- the point GV 20
For Fixing the mind in Dharana is one of the place
The other place is Heart; a lotus, flame, deity or Self
is imagined there. After this focus one should meditate
Between the eyebrows …there lies another vital point
~ Often referred as Third Eye: Is the Place of Thalamus
Pair of Eyes take in light mages are formed in cortex
There is also Amigdyla Like a pair of headphones
Brain operates controls life. Breath, Senses, Regulate
There’s a mechanism in there A circuitry put in place
Our senses travel by thirteen no. Cranial nerves C1-13
The cranial nerves meet At Pons Medulla oblongata
as bulge on flower stalk, pea size In our Mid-Brain
Pair of Eyes~ Speech~ Our Ears ~
Sight locked. Tongue is Stay open
On tip of nose Upturned Can’t shut
Sets a posture Lock onto Nor flap ears
Balancing breath. The palette Yet hearing stops
Inbreath- outbreath In Balance. When in deep sleep
In Jainism, Tradition. Deep Sleep is Meditation
In Kayotsarga - Fourth Turiya Is our true nature -
The bridge on. Beyond Awake, Sleep, Dreamless sleep
Upper lip is key. Beyond Jagrat-Sushupta-Swapna , .the Triad
To keep the focus. The constant in the CNS Central Nervous System
Loci of meditation; 1Exit point: Brahmarandhra. 2.in the cavern in heart
The mouth, the lips, the tongue, the speech, taste, hearing, touch organs
Keeping the senses on hold Connect to Brahmarandhaa, crown on head
Brahmarandhara: Gateway; Life exits through this point upon death.
