True Love






In love, saying that you just love and you dont expect is not true..
In love you do expect..
love is silent...
love is blissful...
love is eternal...
a never ending story...
love is spiritual...
Its a feeling of extreme agony and longing...
but its not about invaluable sacrificing...
Its not about worthless pains...
Its about giving your very self...
Its timeless...
Its about the smile of your beloved...
Its about her wonderful eyes...
Its about her crazy lunar laughs...
Its about her crackling bangles...
Its about her innocence...
Its about companionship...
Its about tendency to get back to one...
Because two is painful...
Everything wants to merge into something...
That is what is called Love...

The Power of love is so overwhelming that even in its skewed form as lust, it impells two people to come together in the name of love. Genuine love essentially commits itself to first giving or offering best from the heart with an attitude of pleasing the recipient. Lust wants to take from others, lust feeds on feverish praise, dominance and recognition, where as love maintains detachment from selfish gain.

Heres an analogy : Both gold and Iron sell in market as metals but a few grams of lustrous soft rare metal costs more than a tonne of its hard and dull counterpart (Iron), similarly selfless love doesnot lose its unprecedented value just because it is rarely experienced. Pretentious words and vain promises are favourite disguises of lust, love on the other hand wears garb of spirituality, speak language of purity, walks path of humility, adopts code of tolerance, being willing to sacrifice everything for welfare of the beloved.

Gentle love is invincible, whereas brutal lust because of its inflamable nature burns to ashes all traces of compassion, reason and empathy, when lust turns to frustration all illusion, false attraction and attachment turns into retaliation in form of abuse, defamation and destruction. THERES NO TRACE OF LOVE HERE...until and unless one is able to descriminate between true love and deceptive lust, one is unable to understand that the ardent lover of god is fully prepared to undergo any kind of adversity birth after birth to attain the lotus feet of the lord.

Once Lord Krishna had a splitting headache, no doctor could cure him, finally krishna revealed that only dust of his unalloyed devotees could give him relief, so the gopis, who were his unalloyed devotees inspite of being aware that this would be the most serious crime to put the dust of there feet on the head of the supreme lord, still went ahead and did it because of there unalloyed devotion, true love for the lord.

Seven Dhaatus (Metals)

According to Ayurveda, there are seven dhaatus (metals)-gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead and zinc-which are essential elements of the body. Perfect health is attributed to the state of equilibrium of these dhaatus in body tissues. Any imbalance excess or deficiency-disturbs the functioning of the body.

Gold is present in trace amounts in blood, semen, eyes, upper layer of skin and intestines. Imbalance affects vision, causes general weakness in the body, dullness of intellect, loss of imaginative power, voice and general complexion of an individual.

Silver is present in the bone marrow, upper layer of bones, gall bladder, pancreas, inner layers of the skin, lungs, muscles, blood vessels, meninges (the membranes investing the spinal cord and brain), and septum of nose. Imbalance leads to neurological disturbances, problems related to teeth, cataract sores and absorption from gut.

Copper is present in the upper and inner layers of skin, mucosa of soft tissue, large glands, pupil of the eye, hair, pleura and pericardium. Imbalance causes defects in cardiovascular, central nervous and skeletal systems. Deficiency affects production of red blood cells and hair keratinisation. Imbalance causes chronic inflammatory disorders in soft tissues.

Iron is the major constituent of blood, present in the villi of the intestine, pupit hair and in small quantity in all tissues of the body. Imbalance causes arteriosclerosis, anaemia and general debility.Lead is present in blood and lymphatic tissues. Imbalance causes anaemia, disturbance in gastrointestinal tract due to poor secretion of digestive juices, haemolytic anaemia and ascites.

Tin is present in every tissue. However, it is found more in abdominal muscles, blood and blood vessels, synovial membranes lining the capsule of joints, outer layer of uterus. Imbalance causes malformation in bones, diseases of reproductive tract, affects formation of urine, polyurea and increased perspiration.

Zinc is present in blood, brain, nerve tissue and muscles. Imbalance causes problems related to nervous system like depression, anxiety, dullness of intellect, extreme forgetfulness and irritable temperament.

From Vedic point of view...

Sometimes it really becomes difficult to analyze wether a "decision taken" is out of our own capabilities or something that was destined to happen..

We cant say that everthing is the out-come of our own capacities, if it was so, then why a person working very hard earns much less than those priviledged ones who work less and earn more.
The vedic science and astrology says that a human is under the control of 3 different types of planets that rule our day to day activities and results. One of these types are the planets that in any circumstance give only positive result ( the variation though may differ from person to person) and also there are those types of planets that in any circumstance give only negative results (again the variation may differ from person to person) and finally there are those types of planets which on there own donot give what we want but they also donot obstruct (it means how much we work, that much we get)

Now this sounds amazing, but how to know that in which circumstances which kind of planets were having more influence, this is something I believe is just not possible to find out.

Now if I co-relate this with what Bhagwad Gita says is that "When one performs his prescribed duty according to his position (his position out of the four, ie.wether he is a Brahman (learned, teacher, guru), or a Kshatriya (protector), or a vaisya (trader, merchant, businesman) or a sudra (the labours), abandoning all attachment to the results of actions of failure or success and never considers himself to be the cause of results of actions and also never attached to not doing the prescribed duty, thus one never incurs sin-This is called Yoga.

Strive for yoga, the art of all work, surrender unto Lord Krishna and in Krishna consciousness perform your work, thus at the time of work do not concentrate on the result of the work performed, the result wether you will succeed or lose. Thus we can also be free from the the bondage of work. Sounds fascinating......

So finally though one may not know that out of the 3 types of planets which one is effecting more at the time of a particular action performed but atleast in above way we can atleast free ourselves from incurring sin..

The Soul is called Brahmaan and his nature is called "Adhyatma" (self), actions done are called "Karma", physical nature ie. the changes in the body is called "Adhibhuta", universal form of Lord Krishna is called "Adhidaiva" and Lord Krishna as supersoul is called "Adhiyajna" (lord of sacrifice..

Indian culture and the vedic science was much much ahead from the rest of the world but we did not value its importance...

Bhagwad Gita - A sure way to fight depression
In our day to day life, whether working for an organization or doing your own business or your responsiblity for your household work, the most common thing many times is that you get depressed while doing your work. Depressed employees in any organization is a common sight. Dejected employees, depressed employees, unmotivated employees, desolate employees, morose looking employees are very harmful to any organization as they not only decrease the productivity but they also create an atmosphere in which other colleagues may also feel de-motivated & dejected. Similarly if you run your own business & remain depressed while doing your work, certainly you shall not achieve that much in your business if you would have been highly motivated & energetic.Now, De-motivation, Depression, Dejection, Desolation all these D-words relates to your mind or relate to your mental position. It's only your MIND that gets depressed, dejected. You may be physically fit with blood oozing in your nerves, but if you are not well with your MIND then you are certainly not going to perform to your full potential. Mental health is where the key to success lies. If you are mentally supercharged then you can achieve any milestone in spite of having any physical inadequacy.Now, how to get out of this Depression, De-motivation & how to increase the productivity at work is where the great teachings of "Bhagwat Gita" come into play. Now for those who do not know about "Bhagwat Gita"."Bhagwat Gita" is an ancient religious book of the "Hindus" & in this book are great philosophies of Hinduism. These philosophies teach you all about, how you should do your duty, how you should lead your life etc. This "Bhagwat Gita" teachings were given by "Lord Sri Krishna", God Himself, to his disciple "Arjuna" on the battle field of Kurukshetra in Haryana state of India in ancient times. "Arjuna" was involved in a war against his enemies (some of them his own relatives too) but he refused to do his duty of fighting a righteous battle as he got infatuated & started thinking of his enemies as his own near & dear ones. He told his master "Lord Sri Krishna" that he is going away from the war & do not want to fight on the battle field. Arjuna's mental health became weak & he got deeply depressed. To overcome his disciple Arjuna's depression & to motivate him to fight a righteous war, "Lord Sri Krishna" gave the great teachings of "Bhagwat Gita" to his disciple "Arjuna". After listening to all these great teachings, Arjuna's mental health became well & he became motivated & energetic to fight the war.Now many of us & many of our employees in our organization find themselves in the same state of mind, as that of "Arjuna". Their de-motivated, depressed state of mind can be changed to motivated & energetic one by these teachings of "Bhagwat Gita". Through these teachings, mental equilibrium of any depressed person can be overcome & he can come out of any crisis situation. The teachings of "Bhagwat Gita" can simply transform a person.Now Bhagwat Gita teaches about "Mind Control". Mind is that makes the personality of a person. De-motivated mind makes a person depressed one & a motivated one makes a person cheerful. If one's mind is in one's control & he/she can concentrate deeply on one's work, then that person can do wonders at work. Mind is very powerful one & to control it, to keep it in one's control is very difficult. It just wanders like wind here & there & it takes enough of self discipline & practice of meditation to control it, to get it concentrated on any job or activity. As per "Arjuna" to "Lord Sri Krishna" in Chapter Six verse 34:"chanchalam hi manah krishnapramathi balavad drdhamtasyaham nigraham manyevayor iva su-duskaram" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Six verse 34)"Arjuna said: For the mind is restless, turbulent, obstinate and very strong, O Krishna, and to subdue it, to control it, I think, is more difficult than controlling the wind.""sri-bhagavan uvachaasamsayam maha-bahomano durnigraham chalamabhyasena tu kaunteyavairagyena cha grhyate" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Six verse 35)"Lord Sri Krishna said: O mighty-armed Arjuna, it is undoubtedly that mind is very difficult to curb & is restless, but it is possible by suitable practices of meditation and by detachment.""asamyatatmana yogodusprapa iti me matihvasyatmana tu yatatasakyo ’vaptum upayatah" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Six verse 36)"Lord Sri Krishna said: For one whose mind is unbridled, uncontrolled, self-realization is a difficult work. But he whose mind is controlled and who strives by appropriate means is assured of success. That is My opinion."So in the Bhagwat Gita, "Lord Sri Krishna" first of all asks one to do his DUTY. If a person does his/her duty then half of the problems of that person are solved. Not doing one's duty is very harmful as it produces negative results only in one's life, like frustration, depression, de-motivation etc. If one does at least his/her duty, then such negative factors affect that person to a lesser degree or do not affect at all. As per "Lord Sri Krishna", doing one’s prescribed duties, even though faultily is better to have a better Mental Health."sreyan sva-dharmo vigunahpara-dharmat sv-anusthitatsva-dharme nidhanam sreyahpara-dharmo bhayavahah" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Three verse 35)"Lord Sri Krishna said: It is far better to discharge one’s prescribed duties, even though faultily, than another’s duties perfectly. Destruction in the course of performing one’s own duty is better than engaging in another’s duties, for to follow another’s path is dangerous."Another teaching of "Bhagwat Gita" is to do one's work for the sake of work only without caring for the fruit arising out of that work. That simply means to get deeply involved in one's work or to just think single mindedly about performing the best in one's job without thinking about the results arising out of those actions performed while doing one's work or duty. Just concentrate on your work, that's it. Below verse of "Bhagwat Gita" explains this."karmany evadhikaras tema phalesu kadachanama karma-phala-hetur bhurma te sango ’stv akarmani" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse 47)"Lord Sri Krishna said: You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty."Another below verse of "Bhagwat Gita" explains that one should do one's duty equi-poised or to have the equanimity of mind, without caring & renouncing all attachment to success or failure. If one does one's duty efficiently & with single minded devotion, without any fear of success or failure in his/her Endeavour, then certainly that person shall succeed in his/her work, as he/she is doing that work without any fear of success or failure. His/her mind shall be at peace & ease while doing such work without any fear of success or failure. Any person whose mind is at peace, certainly works effectively."yoga-sthah kuru karmanisangam tyaktva dhananjayasiddhy-asiddhyoh samo bhutvasamatvam yoga ucyate" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse 48)"Lord Sri Krishna said: Perform your duty equi-poised, O Arjuna, abandoning all attachment to success or failure. Such equanimity is called yoga."So if a person is dedicated to his work & works for the sake of work only without any fear of success or failure, then that person is going to be certainly successful in his/her carrier. By doing meditation & other yoga techniques, one can control one's mind & a disciplined mind can be made to concentrate on one's job better, producing better results. So by following the teachings of "Bhagwat Gita" one is certainly going to excel in his/her job & in life.--------------------------------------------------------------------Read the magical book "Bhagwad Gita" and the wonderful pastimes of the beautiful lord Krishna and see how one can come out of the two forces "negative & positive" which keep contemplating all the time with this Human body giving us happiness but temperory and also distress though that also temperory, but we humans are the final sufferrers, hence come out of this "negative / positive" web and attain bliss in the company of Lord Krishna - the ENDLESS ONE...........bharat b bajaj

The 9 governing planets

The Nine different planets that govern our destiny:

SUN - Royal by nature, gives fame, power, wealth, represents father, prosperity
MOON - Fickle, represents mother, emotions, colour white, silver, water, a favourable moon solves various problems
MARS - Ful of energy, represents courage, strength, status, colour red, wealth
MERCURY - Represents communication, interaction, business, trade, intellect, thought process, speech, marketing
JUPITER - Wisdom, knowledge, authority, luck, steadiness
VENUS - Beauty, wealth, luxury, diamonds, jewellery, media, art, music, flowers, comforts
SATURN - Being practical, balance, hard work, labour, Iron, strength, industry, electronics, foreign languages, factories
RAHU - Diplomacy, cheat, intellect, balance
KETU - Wisdom, luck, breaks, obstructions, knowledge

Saturn in virgo and Jupiter in capricorn seem to make things difficult, there can be more terror attacts, natural disastors, major accidents/ floods, financial/ economic problems around the globe, somehow I feel theres something special about saturn, if strong in the horoscope and if supportive can really do wonders, Saturn being the Son of "Sun" and the brother of the lord of death "Yama", seems to be an impressive personality, daring, rigid but at the same time co-operative once its in your favour.




Saturn and Lord Krishna

When lord Krishna was born in Nandgaon, hearing the news of the birth many saints and gods visited Nandgaon to see Lord Krishna, one among them being Shanidev. Everyone was allowed to have Krishna's darshan except Shanidev. Yashoda stopped him at the door and saying that her son would be frightened at the sight of Lord Shani. Shanidev was highly disappointed and went to the nearby forest and prayed, "O God! I am your servant. You have appointed me to judge and punish sinners according to their karmas. Then why does everybody think of me as being malignant and cruel; why do they avoid even my shadow? Today, when all gods and demi-gods could enjoy the bliss of your darshan, I am denied that right and benediction." Touched by his prayer lord Krishna manifested Himself to him. He advised him to stay put near Nandanvan and granted him the boon that anyone who came to his temple to pray would immediately be freed from all worries and afflictions. That part of the forest where Krishna appeared before Shanidev, has since been called Kokilavan and one can visit the renowned and ancient temple of Lord Shani (Saturn) today which is just six km from Kosi (UP) on the Nandgaon-Barsana road.

Love..




True Love is Eternal, a never ending story, something rushes through as you come across your beloved, the atmosphere around transforms, as if everything becomes ful of life, ful of breath. The most beautiful thing is right there standing infront in flesh and blood as if going to take control of all the problems and you can rest in peace in its arms, feeling completely protected..


The wonderful qualities of your beloved, from her crazy lunar laughs to her apple cheeks,and that childish innocence, plus the maturing passionate appeal, the desire to be with that special one..


Mind keeps ticking all the time remembering all that makes you go head over heels about the special one..


And you wanna give your best shot to fulfil all the desires of that special one...


And with all above, when the two unite as if two bodies, One Soul which gives that feeling of companionship, so true,quite enough to give power in facing all the obstacles that life offers.., a beautiful journey begins..


Surrendering your very self to make your better half feel good..


So True, extreme agony and pain of longing keeps love going, because if love becomes complete, you have marked the boundries which cannot make love infinite, for love to be infinite it has to remain incomplete..

Pacifying the Bad & Strong Planets...

If I say, chanting of the following mantras on specific days really works in pacifying your bad planets that brings distress to you in your day to day life , would you believe?, yes , they do work thats what I understand...

  • SUNDAY "Om Hraam Hreem Hraum Sah Suryaya Namah" or even "Om Suryaya Namah"
  • MONDAY "Om Chandramasay Namah" or even "Om Shraam Shreem Shraum Sah Chandramasay Namah"
  • TUESDAY "Om Kraam Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumai Namah"
  • WEDNESDAY "Om Bum Budhaaya Namah"

  • FRIDAY "Om Shum Shukraaya Namah"
  • SATURDAY "Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah" or even "Om Sri Shanaishwaraya Swaaha"

The results would come slow, but they do work, anyway my favourite day is Friday, ruled by planet Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, and Saturday - ruled by Saturn, the God of Law and Justice, some interesting facts - Venus takes around 18 years to pass through all 12 Houses in a horoscope...
