Humne dekhi hai un aankhon ki mehakti khushboo
Haath se choo ke isse rishton ka ilzaam na do
Sirf ehsaas hai yeh, rooh se mehsoos karo
Pyar ko pyar hi rehne do, koi naam na do
Humne dekhi hai un aankhon ki mehakti khushboo
Haath se choo ke isse rishton ka ilzaam na do
Humne dekhi hai…

Pyar koi bol nahin, pyar awaaz nahin
Ek khamoshi hai, sunti hai kaha karti hai
Na yeh bujhti hai, na rukti hai, na thehri hai kahin
Noor ki boond hai sadiyon se baha karti hai
Sirf ehsaas hai yeh, rooh se mehsoos karo
Pyar ko pyar hi rehne do, koi naam na do
Humne dekhi hai un aankhon ki mehakti khushboo
Haath se choo ke isse rishton ka ilzaam na do
Humne dekhi hai…

Muskurahat si khili rehti hai aankhon mein kahin
Aur palkon pe ujaale se jhuke rehte hain
Honth kuch kehte nahin, kaanpte honthon pe magar
Kitne khamosh se afsane ruke rehte hain
Sirf ehsaas hai yeh, rooh se mehsoos karo
Pyar ko pyar hi rehne do, koi naam na do

Humne dekhi hai un aankhon ki mehakti khushboo
Haath se choo ke isse rishton ka ilzaam na do
Humne dekhi hai…

This is just an article which I came across while browsing. I found it interesting and thought there may be some other friends of mine who are interested in such articles and may enjoy reading it. I post it here for all of them.

There have been accounts of unusual experiences reported by those who have come close to death since the earliest times in many cultures. It wasn't really until the 1970s that this subject entered the realms of science. This interest started after Raymond Moody, an American medical student with a background in philosophy, published his best selling book "Life after life", in which he had collected the accounts given by 150 survivors of near death encounters. Remarkably, he found that the survivors had all described similar unusual experiences. These included feeling peace, having a life review, seeing a tunnel, seeing a bright light, seeing deceased relatives, having a perception of separation from the body (out of body experience) and entering a heavenly domain. The experiences were usually described from a time when the individual had been unconscious and had often left the person with a positive life effect making the individual more pious, religious and less afraid of death. Moody termed these experiences 'near death experiences' (NDE).

The following Hindu near-death experiences come from Pasricha's and Stevenson's research as well as other sources on near-death experiences in India.

Vasudev Pandey

Vasudev Pandey was interviewed in 1975 and again in 1976. He was born in 1921 and had nearly died in his home of what he described as "paratyphoid disease" when he was about 10 years old. Vasudev had been considered dead and his body had actually been taken to the cremation ground. However, some indications of life aroused attention, and Vasudev was removed to the hospital where doctors tried to revive him, using "injections," with eventual success. He remained unconscious for 3 days and then became able to describe the following experience (as narrated to us in 1975):

"Two persons caught me and took me with them. I felt tired after walking some distance; they started to drag me. My feet became useless. There was a man sitting up. He looked dreadful and was all black. He was not wearing any clothes. He said in a rage [to the attendants who had brought Vasudev] "I had asked you to bring Vasudev the gardener. Our garden is drying up. You have brought Vasudev the student." When I regained consciousness, Vasudev the gardener was standing in front of me [apparently in the crowd of family and servants who had gathered around the bed of the ostensibly dead Vasudev]. He was hale and hearty. People started teasing him saying, "Now it is your turn." He seemed to sleep well in the night, but the next morning he was dead."

In reply to questions about details, Vasudev said that the "black man" had a club and used foul language. Vasudev identified him as Yamraj, the Hindu god of the dead. He said that he was "brought back" by the same two men who had taken him to Yamraj in the first place. Vasudev's mother (who had died before the time of the interview) had been a pious woman who read scriptures that included descriptions of Yamraj. Vasudev, even as a boy before his near-death experience, was quite familiar with Yamraj.

Durga Jatav

Durga Jatav, a man approximately 50 years old, was interviewed in November, 1979, and again 3 months later. About 30 years before, he had been ill for several weeks, suffering from what had been diagnosed as typhoid. When his body "became cold" for a couple of hours, his family thought he had died. He revived, however, and on the third day following this he told his family he had been taken to another place by 10 people. He had tried to escape, but they had then cut off his legs at the knees to prevent his escape. He was taken to a place where there were tables and chairs and 40 or 50 people sitting. He recognized no one. They looked at his "papers," saw that his name was not on their list, and said, "Why have you brought him here? Take him back." To this Durga had replied, "How can I go back? I don't have feet." He was then shown several pairs of legs, he recognized his own, and they were somehow reattached. He was then sent back with the instructions not to "stretch" (bend?) his knees so that they could mend. (Durga's older sister, who was also interviewed, corroborated his account of his apparent death and revival.)

Durga's sister and a neighbor noticed a few days after he revived that marks had appeared on his knees; there had previously been no such marks there. These folds, or deep fissures, in the skin on the front of Durga's knees were still visible in 1979. There was no bleeding or pain in the knees other than the discomfort engendered by Durga's following the "instructions" to keep his knees in a fixed position. X-ray photographs that we had taken in 1981 showed no abnormality below the surface of the skin.

Durga had not heard of such experiences before his own near-death experience. He did not see his physical body from some other position in space. He said that afterward the experience seemed like a dream; nevertheless, he claimed that it had strengthened his faith in God.

One informant for this case (the headman of the village where Durga lived) said that at the time of Durga's experience another person by the same name had died in Agra (about 30 km away); however, neither Durga nor his older sister were able to confirm this statement.

"Never the spirit was born, the spirit shall cease to be never. Never was time it was not, end and beginning are dreams." - The Bhagavad Gita

Liberation while living is considered in indian life to be the highest experience - a fusion of the individual with the universal. The individual manifestation is like a spark of cosmos, as the human organism, the microcosm, parallels everything in the macrocosm.

The whole body with its biological and psychological processes becomes an instrument through which the cosmic energy reveals itself. According to tantric principles, all that exists in the universe must also exist in the human body. If we can analyse one human being, we shall be able to analyse the entire universe. , because it is believed that all is built in the same plane.

The purpose is to search for the whole truth within, so that one may realize one's inner self, unfolding the basic reality of the universe.

The Sanskrit word kundalini means 'coiled-up'. The coiled kundalini is the female energy existing in the latent form.  Not only in every human being but in every atom of the universe. It may frequently happen that an individual's kundalini energy lies dormant throughout his or her entire life-time and he or she is unaware of its existence. The object of the tantric practice of kundalini-yoga is to awaken this cosmic energy and cause it to unite with Siva, the Pure Consciousness pervading the whole universe.

The static, unmanifested Kundalini is symbolised by a serpent coiled into three and a half circles, with its tail in the mouth, and spiraling around the central axis at the base of spine. When kundalini Sakti is ready to unfold, she ascends to unite above the crown of the head with Siva(Pure Consciousness).

Long training and preparatory disciplines are undertaken  for the arousal of kundalini, but there is no fixed rule. Several yogic principals are used in arousal of Kundalini Energy. Breath provides the means of symbiosis between different forms of life and also between existence and awareness. Yoga is concerned to direct this bio-motor force towards the expansion of consciousness in the human organism. It is through the science of breathing that the body's subtle centres are vitalized

Yoga has developed systematic techniques of breathing regulating its speed, depth and rhythm. In normal circumstances our breathing is very irregular. not only are inhalation and exhalation shallow but they lack harmony.

The cosmic principles moving with the outgoing(i.e. descending) current of vital air are involuted with the starting of the return current. Ascent is to made in the reverse order to descent. This repeated filling and emptying of the breath is the rhythm of the universe itself, sending waves to strike at the root impulses of the kundalini. When Kundalini is struck, she awakens, uncoils(i.e. is dynamized), and begins to rise upwards like a fiery serpent, breaking upon each chakras as she ascends, until the Shakti merges with Siva in the laya-yoga.

The dynamization, transformation and sublimation of the physical, mental, and spiritual state is only possible with the arousal of Kundalini Sakti and her reorientation from downword to upward movement as she rises to unite with Siva, resulting in the flooding of whole being with indescribable bliss. The aspirant raises himself from the grosser elements to the subtler, and realizes, in a transcendental experience, his union with Siva-Sakti, to become a 'cosmic-man

Yeh sham younhi guzar jai gi da bey paoun

This is not my creation.

You're from the north
I'm from the south

We're a world apart
yet found each other

Against all odds
God knows what's best

Two hearts together
forever to be
Having you in my life
means so much to me

Together you and I
can reach stars in the sky
Together you and I
can touch rainbows if we try

Together you and I
can make the moon smile
together you and I
make heaven seem like a mile

Together you and I
can make the rain fall
Because our love is special
and together we have it all  
 
Your voice is as sweet
as a morning in May,
Warming my heart
on a cold winter's day.

Your words fill my heart
and your touch fills my mind
I swear, I will love you
till the end of time

I wrote this for my children. Other children may also enjoy it. 

                                                  FREEBIRD

She woke up in the morning with a lot of anticipation and a pleasant tingling sensation.  Bela tried to remember what was so special about that day. Suddenly she gave a whoop of joy. They were going to her grandparents’ village that day. She went out in search of her mother, who was busily preparing snacks for their 36 hour journey. Her brother was still sleeping, hopefully dreaming about something nice, as his cute smile indicated.  Bela didn’t have anything to do, her case was packed the night before, her Barbie dolls and quiz books packed in her shoulder bag.

 

Bela was nine years old, and lived in a metropolitan. Her parents worked in a multinational company, so they rarely got time to take a vacation. It was a usual procedure in her family to call her grandparents to stay with them during the vacation. But this year to her joy, her father planned to visit his village. Though Abhi, her brother was still too young to understand, Bela was very excited.  She didn’t remember the village quiet well, but could vaguely remember the mooing of cows, early morning mist, and her grandma, performing pooja to Gods and cows everyday.


They got down in a small railway station. From there they had to go into the village by bullock cart. Bela’s grandmother welcomed them inside with a cool glass of homemade lassi. Grandfather was at the fields. After snacks and lassi, grandmother sent Abhi and Bela, to the fields with houseboy. Grandfather was very happy to see them. He made them sit with him, and gave them fresh corn, and mangoes. The taste was so different here .when Bela expressed this, grandfather said,”This is the taste of natural food, uncontaminated with preservatives and chemicals.” Next morning Bela got up very early and accompanied grandfather to the fields. The sight of rising sun had to be seen to be believed. She never saw such a beautiful scene, and never felt so close to nature. It was so pure, she was overwhelmed .The parrots were sitting on mango trees and guava trees, eating ripe fruits.  Grandfather explained to her that they had so much fruit that they picked only after the birds ate .Same was the case with milk; they let the calves drink to their fulfillment then, milked for themselves. Bela thought here nature is so pure and so are the hearts of people. Next day she woke Abhi with her and took him to show the birds and animals

 

The holidays passed too soon for them, and it was time for them to go back; with a heavy heart she said good bye to everone, with a promise to return as soon as possible. When they stepped down at their station, it was crowded as usual, with vendors shouting, people rushing, and general chaos around her. Suddenly Abhi nudged her.”didi see that parrot”.Bela saw a bird seller with a cage of few parrots. it was a very depressing sight .she heard Abhi asking her father ,”Papa why are these parrots so thin? And so silent?” those in grandpa’s village were fat and forever making noise. Her father replied,”Abhi that’s the difference between a free bird and a captive bird. when you remove them from their natural environment and put them behind bars, they will lose their spontaneity. They miss flying freely in the sky with their friends.”

 

When bela heard this she got tears in her eyes, and vowed never to put any bird behind a cage.
