Krsna Janmashtami 2016

Aug 25, 2016 -  the joyous day of celebrating Little Krsna's appearance...
On this very good day itself a lot of good things came by to me
Flourishing...
During the day,the good news of an accomodation confirmation came by from an ashram (upcoming journey),
also got  an unexpected generous gift by a good friend..to replace a damage.how kind & thoughtful of her.
and due to that,it is also the start of a new discovery for me.need to get into learning mode.

The evening of this day,was a little hectic but very productive - with 1 Odissi replacement class & another Odissi dance practice (upcoming show) back-to-back
After refreshing  myself - I head on to Shanta Mandir, to catch up with the Krsna Janmashtami prayer that starts from 10pm up till midnight. Upon reaching the mandir,it was just nice to catch up with the milk abhisegham of Krsna.
And there I came across many cute little Krsnas & even Radha / Gopis ,where the little ones adorned with costumes & adornments ..
they caught many attention - roaming about in their innocence and excitement/wonder
Well how nice,is that...
Also during the prayer, there is a beautiful aradhana - dance offering by the TFA dance students
It is a warm dance of Lord Krsna & with the Gopis (a small snippet below)
It was lovely that the song is so soothing & so loving.
And right at midnight , the prayer came to it's end enveloped with bhajan sung by Swamiji (Aadugindran Ennul Paadugindran Ananda Radhaiyudhan) as well the Manggala Arathi.
In whole,it was truly a blissful experience & wonderful to be hearing Swamiji's loving voice- throughout the mantras,hymn,chants, bhajans.
Krsna becomes the highlight ~ as He looked enigmatic & charming on his birthday - shown in the images,below..
Lets all be drenched in the love of divine devotion.
The thirst shall never be quenched, towards eternity.
Ever flourishing as Karuna Sindhu..the Ocean of Mercy/Compassion..

feeling Humanity

Yesterday , Monday the 8th of August -

as I was walking home after work,  I came across two men whom themselves are strangers to each other.
One of them is a homeless man & another is a foreigner who seemed to look like a man of profession.

I noted them,  I stopped & watched.

The foreigner was kneeling down towards the homeless man (Malaysian) who is seeking shelter under a posh residence, and giving him some stuffs while politely speaking to him.
From his accent - I knew he is an African by his Origin..
and after he is done - he was walking towards my path.

I did not think twice - spontaneously started a conversation
I asked if he helped the homeless man
He said "Yes" and humbly shared on what he have got for the homeless uncle : Mat, thick blanket, toiletries, new shirt, food etc
I was very impressed & greatly inspired
Such generosity - too precious.

heartwarmed.. i requested him to keep up the good job
for being such a selfless soul
and we kept on walking together while we had a little chat
he introduced himself as Matthias & shared that he is from Tanzania
and so did I, in return

and soonafter, we parted our ways.

It was such a good wrapup for the day
to witness such loving kindness.

Thank you Divine Energy

fragile life

have you ever wondered or come across this?
the person that you love , whom you had a wonderful bond with - one day..changes,turns away from you - leaving you...

Heartbreaking.it is.

even worse , when they leave you with no closure.no goodbye.

in this life
one thing for sure, as we all know : nothing is of certain or permanent

the person that you used to know - (may) become a stranger one day
just like nature - ever changing,so is human.
Change is inevitable. 
but love never changes.
Only ego,ignorance clouds it.misguiding it

So if you were to ever face any loss.
nothing more can be done, they may or never come back - you can mourn for their loss (for a while) yes - it is okay to cry..
and then, you are just good to go - move on, carry on - gently

Letting go is never easy but you can make it so by just putting in your thoughts & effort
it will come to you.flow with it.

I am still finding my way,though...
