‎"Tungnath"

Uttarkhand is a celestial ocean of divinity blessed with profound depth and supreme existence as land of gods which possess the pure essence of almighty at variant places in various forms and beliefs. 

Uttarakhand is adorned with the gems of paradise which are scattered throughout this Dev Bhoomi and I have come up with one of the divine gem called Tungnath. Tungnath is situated quiet near to the sky with the essence of Lord Shiva. It has been believed has the highest pilgrim and is one of the Panch Kedar temples of Lord Shiva which are more than 1000 years old. 

In more vivid & geographical words, it is located in the Rudraprayag district of Tehri Garhwal at 12,073 ft height which divides the Mandakini River and Alaknanda River. The other famous mark for this celestial peak is that it has a trekking path of almost 4 km from Chopta. These beautiful heights are embellished with the surroundings of gorgeous Himalayas as further enhancing the paradisiacal essence here. 

On the part of divine depth of Tungnath, it has been believed that after Mahabharata, Vyas Rishi advised Pandavas to purify their soul from the taints of slaying their own people by attaining pardon by Lord Shiva. At this, Lord Shiva tried to hide away from Pandavas for them being guilty and concealed himself in underground Guptakashi in the guise of a bull but Pandavas found him and appealed for their salvation. 

Further as to please the Lord, the bull’s body parts were rematerialized at five different places as bull’s hand in Tungnath, hump in Kedarnath, head at Rudranath, naval & Stomach at Madhyamaheshwar and hair at Kalpeshwar, as per the beliefs. These places have been called as “Panch Kedar” and at every place Pandavas built the temples of Lord Shiva and worshiped him for attaining his divine blessings. 

Besides this divine depth, Tungnath is a place of supreme tranquility where purity prevails in the air and breathing this air is far enough to attain eternal salvation for a being.

“Elegy to Woman”

She obeyed, even harsh,

Respecting them was foremost,

Played to loose,

Wanted her little to win,

Forgot the self,

When conferred him the core,

Deserted her identity,

To company his soul,

They remained foreigners,

Whom she believed her own,

She gave her part,

Smiled at pain,

Devoted them life,

Nurture them deep,

Gave them strength,

While she went weak,

Called it her happiness,

When lost her smile,

No one returned back,

But no complaints she had,

She loved the world,

Which was never her,

To come here again,

She wished at last.. 

“The life begins from Women… and ends in Women”

“Ocean of Love"

“Love is the pure paradisiacal essence.. and its all true..”

 “Love”, it has variant portraits, exploring different meanings, producing various images and giving many presents. In explicit words, it is a reason to smile, it is a medicine to heal, it is a jewel to adorn lives and it is a way to live.

“Love is the beauty of this land”

Love is an ocean of emotions, comprising variant colors for beautifying human lives and a profound & enormous depth where nobody can reach as it has no end, because it never ends. It is the most delicate thread still nothing can bind two souls more strongly, nothing can fasten two souls for eternity, for never to be apart, for never to be complete without the other, for being one, for ever.

When the divine maker created this mortal land, he left some of his paradisiacal gems upon land for adorning it with supreme beauty and Love was the most precious Jewel of heaven which he bestowed to this land so that we could create our own heavens whenever we would need. It is not something born upon this worldly womb, it’s a celestial presence, something very pure, very pious, which is far beyond the worldly taints and far above the worldly saints because it emerged from the divine soul and its only Love where the divinity resides in this tainted world.

There is a worldly saying that human can’t live without food, cloth and shelter because they are his basic needs but above all, human can’t live without love, even if he doesn’t know the same as the first thing he need when he enters this land is love and the last thing he need when he leaves this land is again love. I often find people saying that they don’t believe in Love but in true they themselves doesn’t know that they do as they have asked for love from many people since they have born. At first, it was our mother, then our siblings, then our friends and the list keeps on extending throughout life but one thing remains the same that is love. We started loving since we born and will keep loving till we die and still its something we don’t understand.

“Love is a way to peace.. a path of purification.. it makes you see the true world.. and leaves your soul in salvation...”

Love is the most potent and still the most fragile presence upon land as it can make you loose as well as can make you win, it could be your strength as well as your weakness, it can be your happiness as well as pain. Its all about the one you want to devote your life for, its all about the one you want can loose for, its all about the one you love to cry, its all about the one you love to see smile, its all about the one you need all, its all about the one you want to live as well as die for. Love can win over anything and can loose everything.

When all you want is the happiness of the other person, no matter how much you would suffer, when all you wish for his/her well being, no matter how you are, when only the presence of that person in your life is enough to make you happily walk over the broken glasses of life, when only the believe of being together is enough to make you win over the hurdles of life and there is no other second thought in your mind when you think of him/her. This is when, we call it Love.

Where Love exists, there is no place of doubt, no place for fear and no place for evil. It has many appearances as some see it in their mother, some in their lover, some in their teacher and some in their god and some even find it with whole human kind or the nature but every time, its chaste, its respect and its belief which never dies and keep the love alive. For those, who knows the meaning of love, its all heaven around when their love stays besides and there is no life in those moments when they can’t see it alongside. They wish to adorn their whole life with this paradisiacal beauty and wish to spend all of their moments in the pleasing enclosure of their beautiful paradise.

“Love.. is a pure ocean.. where you can never reach the bottom.. still you loves to swim alone.. and never wish to be at the shore...”

Love makes you human and let you stay human. A person, who lives with love stays away from the worldly evils of selfishness, covetousness, hypocrisies, wickedness, malice and all other taints of this land. It purifies your core and let you see through the pure vision and that is why we say that a person who is truly in love could never be a part of the evil and tainted world.

So pure.. so beautiful.. so true.. so deep.. it is.. !!

"Divine Beauty of Uttarakhand"

Apart from possessing a profound cultural ocean and potent roots of its civilization, Uttarakhand is endowed with the celestial beauty adorned with divine purity which prevails in the air with the essence of supreme serenity.

I’ve come up with a very simple picture with no wider view of beautiful mountains or clouds hovering upon the hills to support my words because, even this simple view of a road side can express the depth of Uttarakhand’s beauty.

Beauty resides at every corner of Uttarakhand and flourishes all around with the trinkets of nature. One just needs to sit in the lap of Uttarakhand and feel its embrace and that will be the salvation on earth. “Breathe in the air, it will purify your soul, breathe in the beauty, it will pacify your mind and breathe in the divinity, it will free your soul”.

The immense purity shimmering all around upon the gorgeous mounts of Uttarakhand is enough a reason to adore it like a muse, like a lover or like the almighty.

Naxalism…

                             a vivid view…

Naxals are mirror images of Terrorist as they both are playing the role of parasites among our people while the only aspect that makes the Naxals stand apart from Terrorist is that Naxalites are our own country births who are poisoning their own land. On the other part, Naxals could also be perceived as the strong opposition of Government but nothing could save them from being called as Terrorist.

The Naxalism which is also called as Maoist communist groups began in 1967 in the west Bengal part of India when the founders of this evil path, Charu Manjumdaar, Kanu Sanyal and Jangal Santhal initiated a violent moment in Naxalbari village when they revolted and killed some police men for a trivial land issue. This further made other villagers take similar violent steps for land issues with landlords and in the similar way with some span of time; it has reached Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Orissa. On the more explicit picture, today Naxalites have made their home throughout almost forty percent of our country land as comprising approximately twenty states of India which we call together as “Red Corridor”. This widely spread Naxalism holds around twenty thousand armed cadre Naxalites which is continuously growing.

We being human say loud of seeing the bad and evils... but for being human only we fear from seeing the depth behind evils and closes our eyes for the same…

Naxals have their own concept and perception behind their venomous path as they don’t see it the way we do. In explicit words, it started with a disagreement of common people with governmental norms and their institutions for variant reasons including, absence of government at their need, inability of government to reach them and most importantly, lack of concern of government towards them. Naxals were born upon the platter of painful times, its not any foreign body which has been brought and placed here; it was born here in our land only. Then, how could we blame them only for what they are? Yes I do agree that the major share of blame goes to them but not the whole of it.

Naxalites are the people of simple mental composure because being natives of rural areas and due to absence of education and for the same they don’t use any intellectual and technically complicated mind for their path. They only used simple though deep form of strategy which is taking them towards continuous growth and that is, they did and do all those things to the natives of their areas which the government should have done but did not. They become brothers of native people for helping them and being with them in need which is the major reason for their so long survival in a much developed country of ours as today they have much support of natives of their area while they also use compelled and wicked ways to make people abide them when the first way do not work. Today as technologies have reached everywhere, Naxals also possess their utility but their foundation is the support of our own people in rural areas.

“The potent edge differentiating rural and urban areas in a single country… is an explicit reason and the chief ground of Naxalism”

The vivid explanation of my above statement is in front you as a clear picture and that is the reason behind the absence of Naxalites in urban areas even when they are very much potent today. The reason is that in urban areas it is almost not feasible to compel people against government through either of ways as here in developed areas, people are educated and matured enough to differentiate between wrong and right, as here people could see that black and white are dissimilar and as here people are not this coward because of being enclosed in strongly formed defensive structure of government. The another reason for their nonexistence in urban confinements is that in these areas they won’t get secured forest for lurk themselves as they have in rural areas where it is somewhat difficult to reach them. The high level of corruption and wicked presence of politics in our country could also be a reason for the same though it’s not proved yet.

Yes, I do see these Naxals as our own country people who received many wounds upon their soul which killed their core but I hate them for what they are today as all of you would do, I will also call them terrorist as any other countrymen would call them, I also want to vanish them from our land as you want to, but the significant subject is why we are not doing so? Why our governmental bodies are unable to slay them? When we are conquering the terrorist of whole world today then, why can’t we triumph over the parasites residing inside our own confinements?

If you would ask the same questions to a government official, he would answer you in one of these statements as including, that Naxals resides in lurked arenas of dense forests and it’s difficult to find them, Naxals receives the support of native people besides which they could even harm them and these poor people are our weakness. I do agree to all these words but, I may also have some answers for them.

“A problem never comes without a solution… because they both are the two faces of a single coin”

When it comes to answers to Naxalism, the government needs to take this subject seriously as they take terrorism from neighboring countries as it would at least accomplish forty percent of their part. The only major & strong step that our government took was in February 2009, when our central government ordered all the afflicted states to block all the escape routes for Naxalites but this is not at all enough though I do appreciate this single step of their as well.

“Problems are only the questions… for which we require to explore answers… that are solutions”

On a serious note and with a wiser perception, our government & defense should take well planned steps and I believe that they are far competent for the same as they have proved it many a times and nobody could ever doubt the physical and intellectual attributes of our defense. Besides this, we should began from the roots and should free our weaker vain from their tough hold. In further explicit words, we should make the natives of such areas see the truth; we should educate them and should make them believe upon our government while most significantly, they should be given strong defense. This would bring our weaker vain back to us so that we could combat and revolt them in a potent manner. We need to rupture & smash their foundation.

“Transform these rural pictures into urban portraits… it will change every shade they have…”

Today, our attention has been completely towards the development of country besides which we are truly concern about terrorism from foreign lands. We are putting our best endeavor to emerge high but ignoring this disease within us could cost us terribly high as this slow poison would wither our roots through as silent & slow process. In true, it is the most dreadful threat we have and that is because it’s within us and we have to fight inside in our own land.

The growth rate of Naxalism has been awfully high and even it’s not stopped yet as its still walking further. We need to look towards it. We are far potent then these parasites and I don’t require to explain it, as I believe.

Naxalism is not a trivial picture… don’t shut your eyes…!

"Wisdom"

The affluence of soul...!

Wisdom is the inner strength of the man which makes him triumph over the world without creating any noise and makes him stand above all without any war. It is an invincible potency and the purest form of power.

Wisdom is a profound ocean which can be expressed through variant portraits using various colors as in, it is a tree emerged from the seed of learning and fertilized with experience, it is a garden adorned with the flowers of learning and aroma of experience and it is a room made from bricks of learning and decorated with experience. Altogether, wisdom is begotten from learning and experience.

Wisdom is neither weak as emotion nor obstinate as mind; it’s a balance which keeps the emotion strong and mind softer…!!

In further explicit words, wisdom is a balanced blend of intellect and understanding which makes the person see till the heights of the skies and perceive till the depth of oceans. A wiser man would carry a sincere approach towards life but would live life with a vivacious attitude as he knows that the life is something to perceive with a serious vision but it’s something to live not to study.

Wisdom is not something bestowed since birth, as it is the wealth of human soul which a person attains after experiencing and perceiving the subject of life for a longer period with a concerned core. He attains this wealth through a long walk of life in which he fells many a times but still never become afraid of walking ahead as he knows that this scratches have made him learn the chapters of life and grow richer and there are many chapters left yet and he needs some more wisdom, some more wealth.

“The one who is the richest of all wiser is the one who has maximum of scratches”

On the other part, wisdom is a way to divinity as it keeps our soul pure and away from worldly taints and if you are not one of the believers of divinity and stories of paradise then, I would say that the wisdom takes them towards living a paradisiacal pure and truly pleasant life. Wisdom is the supreme trueness of mind and chaste of core which makes the person feel & believe the divinity inside and lead a satisfied life.

In the practical vision, wisdom is not any heavy material as even a little child could carry this when he shares his lunch with the one who forgot to bring his own and a teen when he compromises his love for his friendship and a adult when he ignores his comfort and desires for the sake of someone else needs. It’s all about taking the right decision, on the right time while standing far above from the arena of self interests.

In the end, wisdom is the strength to walk over the righteous path when the world is afraid of it, it is the courage to speak the truth loud when no body want to listen you and it’s the loyalty towards your own core when there is treachery prevailing around. It bestows a person with the vision to differentiate between right and wrong and to vividly find the space between the evil and good. In further simpler words, wisdom is emerging out with the righteous aspect from the tangled threads of truths.

“Wisdom is keeping the positive luminous alive in the core even when you are confined in a darker room”

“Love is still alive”

Love is the most beautiful presence we feel around… the most deepest belief we all have… and the most strongest desire we all wish to fulfill… but beyond this, it’s the most intricate & complex picture which often leaves us in the predicament of variant questions for which we keep asking ourselves but of no avail and no answers in the end. I may answer you today as I have answered myself.

We all are born out of love, so posses’ immense love inside and still keep looking for the same throughout life as if the thirst for love never ends.

Should I say that we are covetous? Or should I call us materialistic? No we are none of that; we just want to live happily, wish to have a beautiful life, want to create our own paradise, we are impatient creatures and can’t wait that long so wish to have our salvations here on earth only and love does all that. We all know.

We are showered with immense love till our little years of ages and we treasure all that love inside us and then, we wish to share that love in the outer world when we grow some more that makes us develop new relations around in this world and then it comes a moment when we again feel the need of the one to again fill the bucket of love inside us as at this time, we were about to finish with what we had. It’s a complex path of the simplest existence that is love.

We keep looking for that one and often misunderstand and make mistakes because of following some deeply settled norms and perceptions in love. When people say that love happens only once, I felt to ask them that didn’t they loved their mother, sister, your friends, your previous girlfriend and won’t you love your daughter, but I never asked, as I knew the answer. The only difference is, we love many but the one who would again fill that bucket of love so that we could again share the love around to make this life beautiful, is the only one.

At this stage of life, we all would have felt to have found that one more than twice and when we failed, we often say that love doesn’t exist in today’s world or at times we feel guilty of being involved in relationships more than once. But, love is never untrue, never tainted, it’s always the purest presence in between the two souls and each soul share this bond with many around but the filler of bucket is always the one. 

Yes, I love many of my friends but that doesn’t makes fall in many relationships, I am deeply attached to my best friend who is a guy but that doesn’t makes me call him the one, I deeply love my cousin sister but that doesn’t makes me become a lesbian. Those failed relationships were not untrue love, neither you did anything wrong, it was only your mistaken vision that made you fall.

You just need to learn to see clearly and explicitly.

“Life has emerged out of Love… will end finding Love”

“Disguised Development”

In reference to Uttrakhand.. 

The whole world around is walking on the path of development as some wants to walk upon it and some are compelled as others are doing the same. Everyone have joined the marathon of development as there is been very effective promotion all around but only very few knows the real meaning of this product and rest are just following the trend.

Recently, I visited my native state Uttrakhand to have some peaceful days in the lap of nature but all in vain as my mind couldn’t stay calm and abandoned me in the lake of questions and predicament. I stayed in my maternal Uncle’s house situated in one of the quiet developed parts of the state known as “Town” there for being quiet ahead in development than the rest of the parts.

It’s true that the state is developing and people there have joined the walk but seeing my native place developing couldn’t please me, even after me myself being the believer of development. It’s not because they are adapting to any western culture that I had problem with neither they are betraying their own culture.

It’s just that they are approaching towards the right destiny but are not upon the right path in ignorance…!!

The educational platter in such developing states have grown enough heightened to compete well with the developed cities of the country which would be worth praising in your vision but I found it otherwise while peeping into it. The majority of students there secure above 80% and their parents are equally concerned towards their education but all they know is to win in the race of development and all they dream is to become a doctor or either engineer. No other dream they carry neither they are allowed to possess.

“They have taken education as a means of survival… instead of a path of learning…”

Besides this, people are adopting to western life style there but without a proper gear. They have modern houses now and live upon high standards but they ignore the requirement of proper sewage system associated with modern life style. In Uttrakhand, the state government has banned to use of plastics in a very modern manner due to which you won’t find poly bags in anyone’s hand as all the poly bags have slipped over road sides since then.

The painful situation is, in this race of decaying development, no one has time to pay even a little concern towards these measures.

“Fashion” is another subject in this process of development, as in such developing states people hastily adapt to whatever new they come across without evaluating it even once which often deserts them in absurd appearances.

Fashion is a major disaster in these states not because people are not intellectual there, it’s because they are blindly following the rest.

In the end, the most complex predicament is about the continuous desertion of their roots by the people of such states comprising Uttrakhand as I experienced it few days back. People in these states are moving away from farming as they believe it to be unworthy to stay involved in the same admist this industrializing world but in true, development never banished farming from its platter as farming has always been the roots and will always be core of development throughout the world. They are following the developed cities where people don’t pursue farming but they ignore to understand that people in these cities are reluctant to do so.

Development is about raising.. not about decaying…!!
