Rainbow Colours Of Life...

Today it was a day when nature had decided to put up a grand spectacle of colors. It had rained heavily for a few hours and now the Sun was out in all its splendor. The sweet smell of wet earth pervaded the countryside. The greenery glistened, the birds chirped and the butterflies glided around flowers in full bloom. And in the sky above was the grand spectacle of a magnificent rainbow. Rainbow comes from Sun Shine and rain seven colors true. It paints the sky with seven colors and dazzling hue. It bridges the Earth and the beyond for a short moment. Arched,  end to end, never changes, same as past and present.

People say that life is colorful as the rainbow. Is the life of everyone is colorful? Only few people are lucky whose life is like a rainbow. Every time in the blue sky, One can’t find bright colors, Because life is blinded by raindrops of cry. Rainbows are rare because it arriving after the mighty storms. What would it be like if you approached those stormy times in your life with more sunshine?

When things look their very worst, Just when the skies are darkest grey, , When you feel battered by life's storms, And you are filled with doubt and dismay; When you feel there is no hope.. , Look for the rainbow first.God Make these rainbow color because everyone on live the life with 7colors happiness, sorrow, enjoy bored, ingenuity , ambition ,angeriness. In day today day life everyone is dealing with these colors different color has different meaning. Rainbow is the symbol of hope and rejuvenation.

A bridge which joins aspirations and dreams to reality. Its seven colors, the different aspects of the mysteries of life. GREEN: The color of life-- It soothes, it heals, it lasts; YELLOW: The color of energy--The color of sun, the color of fire; BLUE: The color of existence---infinite sky, vast ocean; Cool blue generates tempo and motion. RED: The color of love-the color of blood & the color of passion; WHITE: The color of peace------Color of dove; always in background, Present everywhere but rarely found. BLAcK : The mother of all colors-------The earth crust is black; Black is slate, black is rock, and black is coal. LIFE IS A RAINBOW ENJOY ALL ITS COLOUR.

Thoughts..

SOMETIMES WE SIT BACK AND REMEMBER,

THE WAY THINGS USED TO BE,

MEMORIES THAT LIE IN OUR HEARTS,

STAB US LIKE A KNIFE.

PART OF US WISHES THEY WOULD GO AWAY,

BUT PART OF US DOSEN'T WANTS TO FORGET.

THE DAYS WE LOVED SO MUCH,

WENT BY SO VERY FAST,

AND THE NEXT THING WE KNOW,

THEY'RE GONE FOREVER,

EXCEPT FOR THE PAIN THAT LIES IN OUR HEARTS.

BUT THAT'S WHEN WE REALIZE,

THAT THERE ARE DAYS WHEN WE WAKE UP,

WITH THE SUN SHINGING THROUGH THE WINDOWS,

ANTICIPATING WHAT THE DAY WILL BRING.

BUT THOSE DAYS ARE NOT ETERNITIES,

THEY AREN'T FOREVER YOU SEE.

AND WE'LL REALIZE THAT YESTERDAY HAD NOT BEEN A DREAM,

BUT A MEMORY.

TODAY IS DIFFERENT THAN YESTERDAY,

AND TOMORROW WILL BE DIFFERENT THAN TODAY.

BUT AS LONG AS WE HAVE OUR MEMORIES,

EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.

Bhagavath Sevai

"Bhagavathi Sevai" is a special type of Puja and is based on Tantrik rituals and Agama  Principles of worship.This pooja held in our home on poornima day. Past ten years we are celebrating this pooja.Bhagavathy Sevai is for worship of Devi Durga. 
 
This Puja is done in temples and in homes as well. This is done in the evenings. the preparation of this  pooja starts in the early evening itself. 
 

The Padmam

                    It starts with the drawing of a padmam in Which the devi would be invoked.This chakra also has the asanas for other gods and goddesses namely the ashta dik baalakas (Indra, Agni, Yama, Niruruthi, Vayu,Varuna,Kubera and Eeshana) and the various forms of devis  that include Braahmi ,Maaheswari, Kaumari, Vaishnavi, Vaarahi, Mahendri, Chaamundi, Mahalakshmi.

There are two more Padmams drawn : one for Lord Ganesha and the other for the Kuladevatha.

The priest draws a special kolam design (Sri Chakram) drawn on a clean floor using Rice Powder, Turmeric Powder(Manjal Podi) and Raktha Choornam (Red Kumkumam). On the floor and fills with colour powders.(Black is avoided). This is named as Padmam, which is the main kolam. On either side of the Padmam two smaller Kolam/padmam is made and filled with color powder.

After finishing with the Padmam, he took the tall Nilavilakku, and started decorating it with flowers garland and a silk pavadai. It is believevd  that when Devi has to be invoked, she has to be propitiated in her favourite colours and ornaments.  .  Finally, he applied red coloured kumkumam, on the narayam of the Vilakku, All this work had taken him the better part of two hours, and  he left for his bathing ritual.  After tying the special panchakacham, and applying  the vibhuthi he came down and took his seat before the Nilavilakku.

The Puja starts with lighting of the lamps of Three Kithhuvilakku by the priest and puja begins - One Big and two smaller ones are readied. They are well polished and filled with Til oil, and cotton wicks (Thiri) are placed in the lamps in five directions (anju mukham) for the Main Big Vilakku. This Big Kuthhuvilakku is placed on the Padmam. The other smaller Kuthuvillakkus are placed on kolams on either side of the Padmam. They contain only 2-directional thiris (rendu mukham). About the smaller lamps - one represents Lord Ganesha and the other is for Kula devatha.The Lord Ganesha, Devi Durga and Kula Devathai are invoked in the Kuthuvilakkus. First Puja is done for LordGanesha and Naivedya Vetrillai(Pan) Pakku (Supari) Banana  Kela, Coconuts, Panchamurthamis offered. Next Kuladevatha is worshipped. The Naivedyam offered is Vetrillai(Pan) Pakku (Supari) Banana, Payasam ,Coconuts

Then Devi Bhagavathi is worshipped. This is done a bit elaborately as compared to the other two deities. The priest recites Devi Mahatmyam. Then he recites the Lalitha Sahasranamam using a lot of fragrant flowers for the archanai. Then he does Kumkum archanai reciting the Lalitha Astothram and then later on he recites the Lalitha Trishathi.A series of Namaskarams are offered by the assembled devotees, to the deities, interspersed with different sukthams ,mantram,slokams in praise of Devi.

Then the Neivedyam is offered which is very special- the Nei Payasam to the Bhagavathy. the time comes for the Neivedhyam to be offered to the Devi it is divided into three parts,   This Payasam has a very unique taste and it cannot be described in words. 

At lastPanga Arathi, Kalpoora Harthi  is done. Small cubes of kalpooram is placed like a circle surrounding the Kuthuvilakkus and they are all lit together. So a beauthiful ring of fire with the Kuthuvilkkus in the middle is made. The Medhu Vadai also becomes a part of the Neivedhyam.

 This  Pooja has to be performed with utmost devotion and concentration, and when  we performed this pooja  properly, we can feel her presence through the exciting atmosphere in the Pooja. Devi is requested to return to her abode with the "yathasthanam and keeping milk in vilaku pooja ends.Then for Ladies I gave vetrilai pakku  kumkum, haldi, blouse piece etc.) We distributed Nei Payasam, vadais. Along with wonderful dinner.each and every year my family enjoy this pooja and having devi’s Blessings

Close To Nature...

In an increasingly urban landscape, we are guilty of destroying the natural habitat, polluting the atmosphere and poisoning water resources. We increasingly find ourselves surrounded by unhealthy living conditions, which lead to chronic maladies, lifestyle ailments. Living in the clutter of concrete jungles, pollution, stress, traffic jams, noise, we are in search of silence. We got an apartment one hour drive from Mumbai, 

As you step in, a wave of calmness engulfs you surrounded by lush green trees, beautifully landscaped gardens, manicured lawns and pathways. It's a splendor of greenery and serenity. Surrounded in pristine green environment, Riverside overlooks the picturesque River providing spectacular views and a lifestyle that is close to nature. It's a splendor of greenery and serenity.

 A morning fog surrounded my building.It looks amazing!

A green fields, along with trees  beautiful view from my place

Nestled amidst a rustic ambience away from the noise and pollution of the city, the home makes a favorite stay for a person like me who respect nature and knows to appreciate its beauty. I still am blessed to be closer to nature. A Rising Sun, Full Moon, Galaxy of Stars, a group of Parrots flying, Colorful  Kites Everything nature has for display. 

A Colourful sunset from my Home!

Even simple clouds colored in the morning or evening skies are a joy to watch.

During the early mornings The air is also filled with the 'kooooh' of the koel and the screech of the birds Saw sparrows ,parrots, pigeons playing  in my balcony early  morning….a rare sight for me . The beauty of their forms, the immaculate color of their feathers, the buoyancy of their flight and the sweetness of their song are all a treat.. Taking a moment to watch their antics or admire their beauty; its fun!  i have started to keep food for the birds in my balcony. A wonderful variety of birds come to eat. Although, it’s mostly pigeons, I’m also getting sparrows, doves, mynas, a crow ,bulbul…

In Night what could be more magnificent than gazing at the night sky? With an unobstructed view of the Milky Way, find your spot in the open air to lie under a blanket of stars watching the constellations beam their lights through the beautiful night sky they beam like jewels to the naked eye. We can see a sky full of stars! But stars aren't the only things up there. The night sky is full of strange and wonderful things. Sometimes, we can see something that looks like a star moving slowly and steadily across the sky.

Still I consider myself lucky that though living in a crowded city, I still am blessed to be closer to nature.. I find myself in nature, I am a complete nature lover. Nature is a beautiful gift by the almighty. 

I LOVE NATURE day to night by watching the clouds move across the sky, sweet smell of the soil, i love being in the moonlight at late night where i am alone listening to slow songs and just gazing at the moon....i just love that; listening birds-make different sounds,colourful flowers,. Everything has its beauty:-Thanks to these birds, stars surrounded by nature for making me living on the seventh floor more meaningful. I feel A gentle, loving, inner peace and silence is here and now in this moment.  

“One Of These Days”...

“One Of These Days”....

I got this beautiful message in my inbox..Wish to share with you all:)

Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view.

We spend more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses, but smaller families. We have more compromises, but less time. We have more knowledge, but less judgment. We have more medicines, but less health.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much.

We reached the moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors. We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space.

We have higher income, but less morals… These are times with more liberty, but less joy… With much more food, but less nutrition…

These are days in which two salaries come home, but divorces increase. These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes.

That’s why I propose that as of today -- You do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that you live is a special occasion. Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to the needs. Pass more time with your family, eat your favorite food, visit the place you love. Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; it isn’t only survival.

Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume… use it every time you feel you want it. Take out from your vocabulary phrases like, “one of these days” and “someday”. Let’s write that letter we thought of writing “one of these days…”

Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them. Never pass up a chance at adding laughter and joy to your life. Every day, hour, and minute are special… Because you never know if it will be your last…

“one of these days” can be very far away, and you may not be there to see it…
