MARTYRDOM

In sheer gratitude, a tribute to the spirit of every purposeful fighter in life.

Nagpur bears the Zero Mile marker of India/Bharat.
In the Dhantoli Park @ Nagpur, an etched Granite memorabilia has been
installed in September 2015 in honor of the 50th Anniversary of martyr
Maj. Surendra Madhusudan Deo and the joint spirit of his martyred
comrades in the Indo-Pak Wars.

The Motto of Indian Artillery in which Major Deo served until his Martyrdom
is “ Sarvatra Izzat-O-Iqbal “ ( Everywhere with Honor and Glory ).  
Now Indian Artillery is identified as Missile Battery.

After having served the motto or creed of professional responsibilities to
the best of individual abilities, every Martyr lays in peace and tranquility
without any luggage and baggage of life.

A sculptor team of Jaipur, Rajasthan has crafted and executed the elegant
piece of sculpture while Maj. Deo’s wife, Anuradha, has solely directed and
financed the entire project including the renovation and maintenance of
the park during 1965-67.  During the same period Nagpur Municipal Corp.
graciously renamed the Dhantoli Park in honor of the city’s Martyr Son,
Maj. Surendra Madhusudan Deo, who was born adjacent to this park in
Dr. Nakhare’s Bungalow @ 389 Abhyankar Road, Dhantoli, and had
frequently played in this park during childhood and high school years.

Born 26 September 1934, Martyrdom 16 September 1965.

Wreath bearing silent and respectful devotion is offered on 16th September,
which marks the Anniversary of Maj. Surendra Deo’s Martyrdom along with
his fallen comrades.

Martyrdom is an ever present spirit in defense of uncompromised freedom,
leaving its indelible mark in the hearts of  all countrymen; expressing itself
through every thing that lives; including plants that grow up and blossom
to their fullest beauty, and fragrance in fulfillment of life.  

It is a sincere desire that every purposeful fighter’s life and sacrifices be
blessed with the Grace that transcends physicality and its limitations.
Following song seems to touch a cord of this emotion.

Neele Gagan Ke Tale Dharti Ka Pyaar 

Often It occurs to the mind,

We are born in the silence of our Mother’s womb.

With the Grace of our parental world of relationships,

We experience the fathomless dimensions of life,

And with a purposeful pursuit of life with self-responsibility,

We become available to the cosmic wisdom of Oneness .

कभी कभी ख़याल आता है ,  

माँ के गर्भकी शांततामें से हम पैदा होते हैं,

सदा मातृपक्ष और पितृपक्ष की दुवाएं पाकर,

हम जीतेजी  जिंदगी को आझमाते हैं,

और खुदके पुरुषार्थ और जिम्मेदारिओं से ही,

एकमेव वैश्विक अनुभूति को प्राप्त होते हैं।  ॐ।

Martyr Maj. Surendra Madhusudan Deo

THE LAST SUPPER

Sketch - The Last Supper

Some are sure that it is their Last Supper before the Revelation.

Some lose their appetite for Supper because of an inner undiagnosed Leakage. .

================================================

Teacher, Preacher, and Yogi-Brother

Image - Yogi Brother that communicates and shares at equal level

A Teacher teaches from the pulpit using authorized books of knowledge such as Torah, Bible, Quran, Purana, Gita,
Mathematics, Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry and the likes.

A Preacher preaches from self-elevated pulpit, but lacks direct personal experience in what is lectured to audiences
time and time again.
Repetition don’t make no Truth says Mississippi brotherhood.

A Yogi-Brother simply shares internalized wisdom with every Brother-Seeker that is desirous of it; in a spirit of equality
that condenses and coalesces together the Seeker and the Sought.

In the world full of dualities, Yoga implies condensing and coalescing into a singular identity, as do Dewdrops.  

This composition is not about  Quantum Physics nor a Book of Revelations;
it is only about nascent self-realization in the dynamics of the constantly changing Universe of which every life is
an integral part.

The same Sun, Moon and the starlit Sky is the constant witness to the same, one and only,  timeless and spaceless Truth.

Independence Day

INDEPENDENCE DAY - स्वतंत्रता दिन   

15 August 2018 - १५ अगस्त,  २०१८

---------------------------------------------------------------

Reflections -

Reflections - Dancing Waters

Independence Day or moment is experienced differently at individual
specific level and at National level because it engulfs broad spectrum of freedom
consciousness.

1. भाबी -

जीवन में सदा संतोषीरूप भाबी ( जमनी नावाणि बुट्टाणी  - Jamni
Navani Butani ) lay in tranquil demeanor on her bed in दिल्ली  
Hospital under the affectionate presence and care of her three children Pushpa, Usha, and
Jawahar. One day during that period, Bhabi confided in her usual soft voice in pure Sindhi
tongue "Guru is coming to fetch ". A short while later during the same day, Bhabi inhaled a
few deep breaths and peacefully relinquished her mortal body.,.. उड़ गई हंसा अकेली अवधूता बनकर।  
अवधूता = शरीर, मन, बुद्धी, और स्मृतियों से स्वतंत्रता / आझादी।  

Note :The above incidence was almost two decades ago.

2. India Independence Day - भारत स्वतंत्रता दिन

India claimed Independence from the seemingly indirect and direct stages of British
Rule of 250+ years on 15th August 1947, while still retaining itself as a honorary member of the
British Commonwealth as if it was a Jewel hanging in the Crown ego.
The self enslaved mind of India / भारत ushered into a new era of splitting itself further into
independent Nations namely India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Earlier to that during early 1900,
the British had used their own prerogative to subdivide the Indian subcontinent into India, Burma
, and Ceylon for their own convenience of more effectively ruling the territory.

From an overall perspective, the political splitting of the subcontinent had claimed unaccounted
million native lives and increased mutual animosities for which every native resident  of the
subcontinent bears full responsibility.

Finally on 26 January, 1950, India declared itself as a free Independent Republic.  Freedom came to India in tumultuous steps of self realisation.

Now almost seven decades later, the remnants of the enslaved Indian mind still imitates the
foreign elements like Chimps do. The original precious identity of the subcontinent namely
Bharat-भारत  is still spelled in English as India instead of Bharat; while it sings its National Anthem
with the words“ Bharat Bhagya Vidhata - भारत भाग्य विधाता ! ( Ref: Vatan - Zero Mile by
Suresh Deo @ Scribd.com, and Amazon.com ).

From a self enriching perspective, the word Bharat - भारत  is indicative of the seamless conscious
awareness in which to realize our intrinsic and all inclusive universal identity; in which life
blossoms and fulfills itself.

These are the Dancing Waters of Life and their reflections in full freedom of being and becoming
our natural selves.

May the freedom spirit of mutual harmony reign supreme at all times .

BIRTH, LIFE AND TRANSFORMATION

------------------------------------------------------

It seems that :

In the seamless process of natural evolution, Self-induced we arrive in this world to explore the possibilities of existence.

Grazing on the pastures of possibilities, we explore life in its unfathomable  dimensions.

In vain, we intellectualise and define life realising only our ignorance.

Gradually, we realise that intelligence and wisdom of life may be unrelated faculties.

Intelligence is only gathered from outside, whereas wisdom is realization condensing from within our
conscious awareness as pure Dewdrops.

Eventually,  through the passage of birth, life, death and transformation, our consciousness moves on  to soulfully
more nutritious pastures of possibilities; until there is no further need for another pasture.
In the silence of physical body. It is the consciousness of transcending the limitations of all physicality in which
the finite and the infinite coalesce into a singular identity.

The philosophies of life originating from the Indian subcontinent identify the unitary consciousness as Advaita   ( अद्वैत ),
Nirvana ( निर्वाण ), Ekonkar ( एकांकार ) or Om ( ॐ ).
Philosophies of life originating in other cultures of the world subscribe to the expressions of Amen and Hu’ ( हूँ ) .

Ultimately, life forever remains as the perception of the perceiver while living under the same deep blue skies.  

Yoga -  योग

----------------

A Perspective  :

Yoga = Conscious union or consecration of the Finite with the Infinite dimension.

योग = जीवन शक्ति एकीकरण: समीकरण नही।

योग है, सनातन अथवा अखंड आत्मज्ञान परम्परा।  

योग एक समर्पित धारणा / इबादत है जिसका बौद्धिक विश्लेषण करना,  
वक्त की फजूल बरबादी होती है।

कर्म धर्म और योग संयोग के द्वारा, जीवन अनुभूति को प्राप्त होना ये गहरा एकमेव लक्ष है।  

FATHER’S DAY - 2018

---------------------------------

First of all, Wishing a Happy Father’s Day  to each and every Father.

What the above expression “ Happy Father’s Day ”  means seems to be
audible to the commercialized world of Greeting Cards!

From an individual specific perspective, enjoy the Father’s Day in the
warmth and celebration of family togetherness.

From a parental perspective, each child is an immaculate conception of
existence ( प्राकृतिक प्रभाव और स्वभाव ); and Grace ( कृपा ) of existence itself.

The third Sunday of June  is traditionally observed as the day for wishing happy
Father’s Day to every individual specific fatherly instinct.

Piggybacking remains an indelible memory through lifetime for both Father N Son/Daughter and equally so for
Mother N Daughter./Son.

From one perspective, Fatherly instinct seems to endear looking beyond the outward horizon,  whereas Motherly
instinct digs into the inner horizons of existence or conscious awareness.

Life seems to be about establishing and maintaining a constant balance between the outer and the inner horizon,
revealing the fuller dimensions and possibilities of blissful existence.

All inclusive Universal wisdom ( सनातन सोच  ) seems to subtly prompt that Father’s Day N Mother's Day should be
celebrated integrally on the same day as “ Father N Mother Day “ .

पितृ दिन और मातृदिन ये दोनों एकही सोच की दो परिभाषा महसूस अथवा प्रतिबिम्बित होती है।  

सत्यम शिवं सुंदरम।   

Image - An Italian artist’s sculpture in Salarjung Museum @ Hyderabad, India.

The sculpture depicts a fullY armored soldier from the front view and its reflection of the back seen in the
mirror in the rear shows a gentle feminine figure integral with the same statue.

It appears to be depiction of Masculine and Feminine instincts as being integral and mutually complementary.

ऐसीही विचारधारामें भारतीय सनातन सोच है जिसमें नीचे लिखित  कुछ नाम हैं जिसमें पुरुष और स्त्री तत्व का एकीकरण होता है, समीकरण नहीं किया जाता . :

लक्ष्मीपुरषोत्तम, लक्ष्मीनारायण ।  

सीताराम, सीतारामैया।  

गौरीशंकर, अर्धनारिण्टेश्वर।

राधाकृष्णन, राधेकृष्ण,  राधेश्याम।

वैसेही, एकीकरण भावमें,   

त्रिगुणात्मक भाव ( आ, ऊ और हं ) का एकीकरण होता है ॐ ध्वनि तरंगमें,  जिसमें सारी प्रकृति विराजमान महसूस होती है ।

तू ही पिता, तू ही माता, तू ही  ंबंधु, सखा।

भगवान  प्रणाम तुम्हे करते, हम छोटे छोटे बालक हैं।   

HAVE A GREAT FATHER’S DAY U-ALL !
