isms are not religion and even far away from spirituality ....religion is a fire that is lit between a guru and a disciple and such is a very rare phenomena .`the fire is then fed by both the guru and the disciple .
the guru by his guidance , transmission of energy , the disciple by leading a spiritual life in daily life and above all practice deep meditation .until he reaches the apex of meditation called samadhi

we call grand bassin the sacred lake, pari talao and even ganga talo
hmmmm..... maha shivrathri should then be a time which gives that place its real value , but what do we see , its like a fancy fair , a discotheque . it seems like a tamasa
we ban the sale of religious books but allow noise . prayers, sloks and bhajan remakes played loudly ..... i don't see any thing religious in all these . people move around unconsciously undisciplined .
what to say about the big kanwar which represents the big egoes rather than the symbol of balance and middle path . who cares whether there is a huge traffic jam and creates so much stress to so many people
its all an escape from the inner shiva ... noise is a very good excuse to flee one's inner self with all its ugliness ..... those people have not realized that prayer is a silent communion with the lord within ...so keep going till the mob is in favor of all these .

Reciting the recipes! :
When people are sick , what do they do ? of course take medicine , go to doctors , get examined , do tests where necessary , take medicines, sometimes have to undergo surgery . have to follow doctor's advice , right ? or do they go on lamenting , complaining criticise others , or take medical prescription and recite them loudly ? n why do people recite prayers loudly without doing the appropriate actions as laid down by the scriptures , but instead recite the slokas, mantras and so on instead of taking to appropriate sadhana ? people recite '' lead me from darkness to light '', yet they live in darkness and create more darkness by their style of living ?
they recite aum namaha shivaya . which means i minus my i and replace it by shiva, yet their "i" is always manifesting in all their actions ?
from mortality lead me to immortality , they recite but are daily killing their body, mind and heart , which prevents the birth of their soul?
when will people stop reciting blindly and start to walk the talk ?
let those who can think , think .

`i have heard that if the only equipment you have is a hammer , all problems seems like a nail .then what can you do apart form hitting on the nail or sn**ch it away . there is another possibility ..to throw the hammer away , but that demands courage
i mean that all legal , social , religious and other authorities knows only one thing ....laws punishment prisons fines and so on to prevents moral degeneracy .. we have the police judicial system , suppression from religions , parents schools and whole society .
for me this is a sign of an absence of life and self and life education the very foundation of civility , spontaneous and natural morality .

light everywhere but darkness within....
our conditioning and the illusion of '' i know , i think and above all our social , emotional , mental conditionings and bookish knowledge is acting like a thick dark cloud preventing the light within to shine .....and illuminating our heart and mind .

meditation.
i have always written or i should say , given hints on what meditation is . today am going to write on what it is not as there are so many so called gurus and meditation teacher out there who are misleading people .
it is not mantra and prayer reciting . it is not imagination , neither any sort of technic or therapies . it is not even concentration , nor even mind control .these can certainly be of some help but should be taught by living buddha , not by a representative of any religion .. a buddha is beyond all religion and communities .....
meditation is miracle that flowers in the mind as expansion of consciousness and flowers as supra sensual supra emotional love in the heart chakra ..... it is a miracle that is prepared for by living spontaneously, authentically but with full awareness and harmony with the laws of nature .
let intelligent people realize how many people fall in this category
