Meaning of Gayatri Mantra
Rishis selected the words of various Mantras and arranged them so that they not only convey meaning but also create specific power through their utterance.

Gayatri Mantra inspires wisdom.

Its meaning is that

"May the Almighty God illuminate our intellect

to lead us along the righteous path".

All the problems of a person are solved if he/she

is endowed with the gift of righteous wisdom.

Once endowed with far-sighted wisdom, a man is neither entangled in calamity nor does he tread the wrong path.
A wise man finds solution to all outstanding problems.
Only those persons who do not think correctly find difficulty and
take wrong steps due to foolishness.

Chanting of Gayatri Mantra removes this deficiency. The teachings and powers incorporated in the Gayatri Mantra fulfill this purpose. Righteous wisdom starts emerging soon after Jap(recitation) of this Mantra is performed.

SAY WHAT YOU FEEL.....

Be who you are
and say
what you feel
because those
who mind don't matter
and those
who matter don't mind.

CALM ... of Heart

peace.

it does not mean

to be
in a place
where there is

no noise,
trouble or
hard work.

it means to be
in the midst
of those things

and still be calm in your heart. ~ unknown ~

There are only two ways to live your life......

One is as though nothing is a miracle.....

The other is as if everything is a miracle......

down,

get rid of it.

you'll find

that when

you are free,

TRUTH....

If you want the Truth,
I'll tell you the Truth,
Listen to the secret sound, the real sound, which is inside you.

~ KABIR ~

Recognize that you are the Truth....

(so says my morning tea bag tag on the string)

somewhere it was also said...

....and the TRUTH shall set you FREE...

so

I am

the Truth

therefore

I am

already

Free

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together..
there is something you must always remember.

You are braver than you believe,

stronger than you seem,

and smarter than you think.

But the most important thing is,

even if we're apart...

I'll always be with you.”
~ Winnie the Pooh ~

~ Kahlil Gibran ~
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

“Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known."
~ Winnie the Pooh ~
