Look To This Day !

 

One day at a time , This is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering .Every day Enjoy the little things, one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.


Let me share some beautiful lines of Kalidasa, A renowned classical sanskrit poet Dramatist & author of Raghuvasa,Meghaduta & Kumarasambhava.


Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!


Look to this Day!


For it is Life, the very Life of Life.


In its brief course lie all the


Verities and Realities of your Existence.


The Bliss of Growth,


The Glory of Action,


The Splendor of Beauty;


For Yesterday is but a Dream,


And To-morrow is only a Vision;


But To-day well lived makes


Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,


And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.


Look well therefore to this Day!


Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

  Idd-Ul-Fitr is mainly a festival of the Muslims. They celebrate it with gaiety and frolic.Idd-Ul -Fitr is celebrated on the 1st of Shawwal, or the tenth lunar month according to the Islamic calender.  Idd-Ul-Fitr  is celebrated on the day the followers of the Islamic religion break a one month long fast. Idd-Ul-Fitr  is an occasion when the families and friends meet and celebrate the auspicious festival together. It reflects the feeling of togetherness and fellow feeling. The Word "Islam" The "root" of the word "Islam" in Arabic is SALAMA which is the origin of the words Peace & / or Submission, a submission to God and peace to all humanity. It is, thus, no wonder why the salutation in Islam is: "Al-Salamu Alaikum or Peace on You." In this regard, prophet Mohammad ordered his fellow Muslims to salute others Muslims or non-Muslims with peace when he said: "Peace Before Speech" It is a Rule in Islam that during war time, an enemy wa...

Dastkar -The Nature Bazaar

  I always buy some fancy things in the exhibitions. I buy what I like & I don’t think of buying as an investment because the fashions change, different things go in and out of favour and values will go up as well as down. I buy to get enjoyment out of the piece for the years to come & if it becomes valuable then that’s an added bonus. Recently I visited Dastkar Exhibition “The Nature Bazaar” at Palace grounds, Bangalore. Dastkar is a society for crafts and craftspeople. It’s a useful organization that brings artisans of different parts of India under one roof to enable them to sell directly to the public avoiding middlemen. They conduct exhibition cum sales in various cities and give a boost to the exposure, sales and working dynamics of the traditional crafts in this modern age. Dastkar helps the crafts people to use their own skills & as a means of employment, income generation and economic self- sufficiency. I visited most of the stalls and I thoroughly enjoyed it. ...

Victory Of Good Over Evil

  Dussehra is the most popular festival in India. It is celebrated all over India. Dusshera comes from the “Dush” or ten and “Hara” means defeat. The ten headed king Ravan was defeated by lord Rama. From past several years I have been regularly visiting Mysore during Dussehra festival. I am still not able to understand why the effigies of Ravan are burned by the selfish politicians. My questions is when there are so many Ravanas around us whom are we burning? During the Dussehra function in Mysore I was discussing with a scholar regarding the significant of the Dussehra festival. He explained very beautifully, it is the victory of good over evil; one has to hate evil not Ravan. The ten headed king Ravan represents all that is evil. He is the representation of the six negativities in the heart: lust, anger, greed, pride, envy and illusion. He also represents arrogance and imperiousness. The burning effigies of Ravana mean burning all the evil within us. By this we are all asked to b...
