Love Travel Meditate
There is
But One Love
And that is Love Divine!
It simply gets coloured
With the feelings of the heart
Father, mother
Sibling, spouse
Friend, beloved
It is the One same Love
The Love Divine!!
But alas…
at times…
A parent abuses
A spouse betrays
A friend turns foe!
Temporarily veiled
Possessed by evil,
Are still His ways
To bring us back home;
To the One Love
Eternal
Unconditional
Divine!!

For more than a year now we have been having online meditations led by monks of Self Realisation Fellowship and Yogoda Satsanga Society of India. These have been God sent during this period of social distancing and lockdowns, when group meditations were suspended.
My guru, Paramahansa Yogananda, has written so much about God as Divine Mother; and has also composed some beautiful chants around God as Divine Mother.
During last Sunday morning meditation we were chanting: Mother I give you my soul call, you can’t remain hidden anymore…and my thoughts went to my mother and I started to cry. I thought if our mother was such pure love, how loving Divine Mother would be. How loving God would be. Guruji has said that if we could see God once, all of us would leave this world and go to Him 😊💖
We have been so blessed to have had parents like ours. They were poles apart and yet lived lovingly together for 71 years! The only thing they had in common was — Goodness and immense love for their children. And they loved my wife, their daughter in law, equally or more.
Our parents represented God so beautifully: Our father as Heavenly Father — Wisdom; Our mother as Divine Mother — pure Love.
It saddens me no end when I hear of children, who are deprived of this divine parental love and care; which is their birthright. And the worst is to hear so much of child abuse. I hope and pray that no child is ever deprived of the love of his parents. And that we learn to love all children as our own.
God is Love and Love is all there is.
Stay safe. Stay loved. Keep loving 💖💖

There are no half lies
There are no half truths!
There are your truths and
There are my truths
There are billions of truths!!
Yet all these truths
Are mere lies!
Stories we tell
Yours and mine!!
There is but
One Truth:
God – who is Love!!
Everything else is a lie!!!

Let the stream of love flow
In Life or Death
In Pleasure or Pain
In Loss or Gain
These dualities
Ever at play!!
But let your stream of love flow!!
Life is but a dream
Of shadows and light
But why look at the mud
In a star filled night
Let the stream of love flow!!
Those who love truly,
They live!
For love abounds
In unending life!!
Let the stream of love flow!!
And merge with the sea
Into One
Eternal Love

When I had published Small Joys Tag with 15 day to day small things which bring me joy, Sujata had mentioned a few small things which bring her joy. I had realised that those things brought me joy too but I hadn’t mentioned those: I had to list 15 things only and my list was hundreds! But more significantly: I think of many such joys with gratefulness. I am grateful for 💯 things everyday 🙏
And this realisation made me think: how closely related Joy is to our feeling of Gratitude. Once we become grateful for every circumstance, every situation, every happening in our life: we shall always be joyous and at peace. And that this gratitude should not be kept only for big and momentous happenings of our lives, but should be expressed in our day to day blessings. We take so many of our blessings for granted, as our birthright!
Always be Grateful to everyone, everything and every circumstance. That’s what our Holy Books say too:
Every living entity, especially persons in the human race, must feel grateful for the benedictions offered by the grace of the Supreme Lord — Srimad Bhagavatam 3.19.36
If you give thanks, I will give you more; but if you are thankless, My punishment is dire — Quran 14:7
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Jesus Christ— Thessalonians 5:16-18

Dear Corona,
Why have you come
Whence have you come
When would you go
Whither would you go
Are there other planets
And dimensions that you roam?
Corona, O mighty Corona
Do tell us all that you know!
O yee humans
I am a tiny little virus
What would I know
That you already don’t!
Yet however small and however little
I am part of the One Big Whole!
I shall do my bit and leave
As others before me have
I know it and accept it
I don’t have grand dreams!
But yee mighty humans
Who are blessed
With such INTELLECT and
CONSCIOUSNESS supreme
Why do you kill?
Oh why, humans, why
do you suppress
And subjugate
Your very own
Is there no end
To your greed?
Like me you too shall leave
You too shall have to go back
Like others before you
But you still don’t learn
And you still don’t see
That you too are a nothing
Just like me!
O humans, wake up
Wake up before you
Are smothered and vanquished
Just like me and the likes of me!
Kill me if you would
But don’t hate me
For: Hate consumes the Hater
And not the one hated.
How many vaccines
Would you make
How many remedies
Would you use
Mightier viruses would come
And shall keep coming too
Till you learn …
Till you learn
To become more humane
Till you learn
To become more kind,
And till you learn
Oh yes, till you learn
To conquer your very own
INNER-SELVES!!
For I am not your enemy
It is within you
And it is your EGO
Which is MIGHTY BIG
And not the tiny me!!
Let go of your Ego
And let go of your Pride
Bow down with Humility
Then you shall learn
That there is no separation
We are all ONE – LOVE
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

It was on the 6th of October 1920 , one century ago, that Paramahansa Yogananda had addressed the International Congress of Religious Liberals in Boston, as a delegate from India, and the subject of his talk was – The Science of Religion.
His only desire, as a youth, was to be with his guru, Sri Yukteshwar, and commune with God. But he was chosen by the Masters to spread Kriya Yoga, the scientific method of God realisation, in the west. A very reluctant Swami Yogananda left the shores of Calcutta on 2nd August 1920. He was only 27 years old! One can only imagine the multitude of feelings in his heart as he watched his loved ones fade away from view: apprehension, excitement and aloneness!
Guruji was very insecure about his English but Sri Yukteshwarji (his Guru) had assured him all shall be well! His skill was put to test when he was urged by the captain of the ship to give a talk to his fellow passengers. The topic was – The Battle of Life and How to Fight it! When the captain introduced him to audience, he was stuck mute. He has said that his mind went blank for ten minutes. Some of the audience chuckled. Then the voice of guru came to him: “You can! Speak!” He did and did a great job of it!
And just a few weeks later he received standing ovation from hundreds of delegates to the International Congress in Boston!!
Paramahansa Yogananda had said: God is one, necessary to all of us, so religion is one, necessary and universal. Only the roads to it may differ in some respects at the beginning. As a matter of fact, it is illogical to say that there are two religions, when there is but one God. There may be more than one denominations or sects under that one universal religion.
And it is that Universal Consciousness that he, and the organisation (Self Realisation Fellowship and Yogoda Satsanga Society of India) he set up, have been teaching and spreading for 💯 years. Paramahansa Yogananda was Love Incarnate and that is what his legacy to the world is : Love 💕
After this memorable day of 6th October 1920, Paramahansa Yogananda traveled length and breadth of USA and many other countries to spread his message of universality of religion and his love for God.
I am truly blessed that I have two of his traits – Love of travel and nature. And even if I can get 1% or less of his consciousness, my life would be worth its while. It is going to happen only with His grace 💖🙏
God is Love. My Guru is Love. Love is all there is 💕💕
