AHAM BRAHMASMI

Now with such a name for a post everyone will think that its all about spirituality but here i plan to talk about anything from Life,Country,Love,Relationships,Politics,Environment...to evrything that comes to my mind worth writing about.

My Dad says that before beginning anything new in life always remember god,and that exactly what this is, "AHAM BRAHMASMI"
It is a MOKSHA MANTRA from YAJUR VEDA. It means I AM BRAHMA...if translated to English it means, I AM GOD... What better way to discover one's spiritual side,to look for God in one's own self. Our AATMA is where the PARAMATMA lives. Yes,that's what i believe. God is in all of us,so i don't think that sitting and worshiping in temples for hours will get any one anything from him,but even if in one day we remember him with all our heart and continue doing whatever is our respective work with dedication that is the best offering to him.
  Born to a family of Brahmans, Since childhood i was expected to be inclined to religion,spirituality,and everything that it takes to be a BRAHMAN. But i have always believed in the above quote. All of us are gods of our destiny....

These lines by Kabir,the saint should be read once to understand my theory about religions and spirituality;

Moko Kahan Dhundhere Bande Mein To Tere Paas Mein
Na Teerath Mein, Na Moorat Mein Na Ekant Niwas Mein
Na Mandir Mein, Na Masjid Mein Na Kabe Kailas Mein
Mein To Tere Paas Mein Bande Mein To Tere Paas Mein
Na Mein Jap Mein, Na Mein Tap Mein Na Mein Barat Upaas Mein
Na Mein Kiriya Karm Mein ReNa Brahmand Akas Mein
Na Mein Prakuti Prawar Gufa Mein 
hta Nahin Jog Sanyas Mein

Nahin Pran Mein Nahin Pind Mein Nahin Swasan Ki Swans Mein
Khoji Hoye Turat Mil Jaoon Ik Pal Ki Talas Mein
Kahet Kabir Suno Bhai Sadho Mein To Hun Viswas Mein..


TranslationWhere do you search me? I am with you
Not in pilgrimage, nor in icons, Neither in solitudes
Not in temples, nor in mosques Neither in Kaba nor in Kailash
I am with you o man, I am with you
Not in prayers, nor in meditation, Neither in fasting
Not in yogic exercises, Neither in renunciation
Neither in the vital force nor in the body, Not even in the ethereal space
Neither in the womb of Nature, Not in the breath of the breath
Seek earnestly and discover, In but a moment of search
Says Kabir, Listen with care, Where your faith is, I am there.....


So with this thought in my mind i begin my journey to the world of BLOGGING....
