The world is strange

-

The world is strange; not all can be grasped,

Our models fail, our plans collapse too fast.

Yet turn thy mind to the cowherd, pure and divine,

Care for the kine, and all that’s needed shall align.


Though reason falters, and the mind rebels,

In simple love, the deepest wisdom dwells.

Attend the herds with patience, heart, and grace,

And heaven’s truths shall open, face to face.

Maniratnam, Raavanan and Ramayana

-
Last week the movie Ravanan got released in multiple languages – Hindi, tamil, telugu. Its a ManiRatnam magnum opus scripted around the character of Ravana – the ten headed villain in Hindu epic Ramayana. Its about exploring the ten different characters in the same person and how they interact, conflict each other. Is it like a multiple personality disorder? I don’t know – haven’t seen the movie. There is a recent spate of movies based on our holy epics. If Rajneeti by Prakash Jha was a take on Mahabharatha, Mani’s version is inspired by Ramayana. In fact this is a first take on Ramayan being used as base for modern day story telling. Mani has to be credited for his creativity and for going in the direction of unexplored waters. What are these epics? Are they just stories, fables or reality? What makes them holy?

How to Understand God's Unpaid Servants: The Glories of Serving the Lord In the realm of divine service, unpaid servants of God exemplify selfless dedication. They receive no salary, no worldly compensation, yet their hearts overflow with fulfillment. Why? Service to God is not a burden but a wellspring of joy. The act itself becomes the reward, as divine service expands the ocean of bliss— anandambudhi vardhanam . This unique experience transcends ordinary mortal understanding. God's servants, being His amsas (fragments), share in His supreme bliss. Service invigorates the soul, akin to tapta jivanam —life-giving nectar. It is not servitude but divine connection, a celebration of love that enriches and uplifts eternally. ----------------------------------------- O Krsna, master of amorous pleasure, O bestower of benedictions, we are Your unpaid maidservants. You are killing us by the glance of Your eyes that steal even the proud beauty of the whorl of supremely enchanting, hi...

How to develop Drshta or seer vision and remain unaffected?

The Supersoul’s Silent Gaze: A Metaphysical Odyssey Everywhere means all places, a tapestry woven with the threads of the supersoul’s cognizance, where not even an inch escapes its silent, all-seeing embrace. The so-called bhalo/manda, the dance of good and bad, unfolds within this boundless expanse, yet it is the supreme soul that permeates every ripple of existence. This strange world, a kaleidoscope of fleeting illusions, swirls with nonsense—joys and sorrows, triumphs and terrors—all playing out in a virtual prakosht, a cosmic stage where dualities exist side by side. The supersoul, ever-present, watches as the drashta, the eternal witness, untouched by the chaos of material realms, inviting us to leap into its serene perspective through abhyasena vairagyena, the practice of detachment. In this sacred shift, we touch the essence of mad bhavam aagatah, aligning with the divine vision that sees all yet remains unstained. Beneath the surface of this turbulent dream, it’s all feelings ...
