Circle around the sun

 

As I completed another circle around the sun

What did I accomplish and how did I run ?

New experiences and new places, did I see ?

New people and new friends, did I meet ?

New tasks, new skills did I learn ?

Old habits and behaviors did I unlearn ?      

 

Have I been too busy with my life

Am I still the same or did I lose myself ?

As hours rolled into day and days into week

Am I still strong or have I become weak ?

To see, meet, learn and have fun

To help another without asking any return

As wishes poured in from near and dear

Here’s starting another circle around the sun

Smile from your heart

 All I want is for you to smile

A smile visible on your beautiful face

A smile which comes from your heart

A smile which shows that you care


All I want is for you to smile

A smile visible to all who care

When you smile, the world smiles with you

And you look good, as it increases your face-value


It's easy to smile in good times

But the real art is to keep smiling even in not-so-good times.

A smile , so child-like

Its easy , if you make yourself light

Its cheap and costs nothing

Its priceless and is everything


So, All I want is for you to smile

Is writing a forgotten art ?

With the advent of short messaging and WhatsApp , it seems to me that blogging and writing longer posts is becoming a forgotten art. Why the verbose explanation when you can send an emoji ? That maybe the thinking in general and is very much suited for the smart mobile world. But writing is an expression of self and its always a pleasure to experience the flow of thoughts that translate to words on paper. Writing is one of the small pleasures which I used to enjoy earlier. Sharing of emotions in words , expressions in meaning., the play of words within paragraphs , sometimes not so much in order , but it all adds up to the natural beauty of the Art which is Writing !

Back to Writing

Here is starting off 2020 with a post - BacktoWrting
This post is mostly for myself. As I have been away from writing for quite a long time now, I need this reminder that writing is still wonderful. Get back to it and let the words flow, even for a small time each day.




In our busy days, we forget to look at the small things which make us smile and feel wonderful about ourselves. One of these small things for me, is writing. I should take out time more regularly for writing. It does not matter if what I write is not read by anybody else apart from myself. Its of course good to have readers and write from a readers perspective. But ultimately , writing is for the self , not for the other self.




This makes me wonder, what is keeping me away from writing for a long time now. Is it the work pressures , less time to spare , no great ideas to write about ? Maybe its a combination of these factors. Well , whatever it was , lets hope that it stays in the past. I got started with this post and would continue to a bit of it every day.

Maths of Mantra

In my previous blog , we discussed about the mathematics of breathing and the basic concept of controlled breathing. In this blog, we shall see the mathematics behind reciting mantras. 
First , let us take "Gayathri mantra". I suppose this requires no introduction and most of us are familiar with this mantra. It is said that one person should not recite the mantra more than 3000 times in a day. Well , what is the science behind that number 3000 ? To answer this , we need to first understand the relevance and the power of the mantras upon human body. The Gayathri is a very powerful mantra if practiced in sincere belief. The Gayathri is to be recited in the proper chandhas 3 sessions in a day , maximum of 1000 times per session. Why this maximum limit ?
If you study the Gayathri, its made of 24 aksharas, So please read the below simple calculation:

24 X 1000 times in one session = 24,000
24,000 X 3 sessions in a day  = 72,000

Our body is said to comprise of 72,000 nerves ( called as naadis ). This was well know to the ancient people and is also now scientifically proven. Reciting the mantra is like charging each of these nerves. Reciting the mantra for maximum 3000 charges the entire body comprising of 72,000 nerves. While recitation of the mantra is good , it has to be within this limit. Practicing beyond 3000 a day would overcharge the body and may lead to problems like frustration , depression , neglection of ones duties , impatience , anger , dejection with worldly affairs, etc. I hope that the reader can compare that to a bulb of x volts, if more voltage is supplied , the bulb cannot withstand the excess power and would burst. Similarly, the mantra is nothing but concentrated energy which affects positively if done within limits. 
Similarly , the ashtakshara mantra is made of 8 aksharas.
8 X 9000 times in a day = 72,000
So, the ashtakshara can be repeated to a maximum of 9000 in a day. Or three times the Gayathri.
I hope to have shared the maths and science behind our beautiful and wonderful practices. If one tries to understand and then perform any sadhana it would become enjoyable. Instead of blindly following , let us seek to understand and then with that knowledge , perform the daily practices with belief.
