The Lotus Blooms..."Nam Myoho Renge Kyo"

The victory is nearby...of my faith and my practice and the divine chants..It's going to be almost an year that i was accepted as a member of SGI family, after being introduced by Swati on 12 July 2010. But i have been into chanting from quite some time. To be honest i have not devotedly did my Daimoku and daily gong-yo or even missed few of the study meetings. However I cannot deny the power and protection of Gohonzon whenever i called for his help and guidance. I cannot forget those days and moments when i took shelter in its faith and belief followed by my clarity of vision and a sudden solution to my bothering problems. Yes, it may sound as miracles but all my answers were listened to. Well, here i would want to make e point that, my practice and faith besides teaching me to rely on the power and principles of lotus sutra, also teaches me the great art of acceptance. There are certain events and incidents which are pre-destined and thus should not be disturbed to change its course in order to satisfy our wants and urges. My practice and membership in SGI have brought immense inner strength, and an omnipresent sense of calm inside me, that have put me into peace with myself, that have taught me to stand still in face of all adversities with stoicism and honesty. it has taught me to expect nothing that i do not deserve or cannot preserve. and above all i learn t the lesson of letting off of things that are not meant to be with me. Am thankful to my Gohonzon!

Write To live

Writing for my own blog is like having a soliloquy..it's like standing near a mirror seeing my own reflection..and sometimes or better say most of the times, it's the trickiest thing to do!We live at a time where 'distance' plays the major role in our existences, however close we might feel to each other coz of the electronic factors like internet, social networking and televisions etc...but a strange dissociation always prevails. And it's the ugliest when we part away from our owns selves..we stop relating to our inner realm...it's a loss if at the end of the day we fail to gather our dislocated pieces of mind, soul and heart. And thus I feel at complete ease with myself when I write..not for an earning or out of a compulsion..but just to my heart's desire. I write on everything and anything that bothers and amuses or surprises me...write away all that crap and trash out of my heart and mind...write and vent out all the negativity and sadism that create disturbances within. Write to the glory of life and wisdom...to the darkness of pain and fear...write to at times hide my tears and shame...I write to keep myself alive and kicking the blues out of my life! Cheers!!...to words! Hail Expressions!!

A Demon In Disguise

We all have it in us…in differing levels although! Some deny it and some has the courage to acknowledge it. Still some has the guts to celebrate it openly!  It is a kind of inheritance that has been passed down to us from our forefathers since a long time. Of all nations India possess it in the most striking varieties. If dealt with wisdom and honesty, its survival can be challenged greatly. But still the slightest of residue might remain…unknown to the person, who’s carrying it. In relationships it plays a major source of disgust and disrespect…hidden bitterness and dishonesty with full of biased behavior towards people and oneself. In professional life, it brings in enemies in disguise and results in loosing co-employees’ trust and reliance. It distances you from your reality, it distances your individuality and honesty, and it distances you from truth, courage, justice and dignity. A person possessed with it cannot differentiate between the right and the wrong, the real and the unreal, the truth and the lie. It is a contagious disease that turns its patient into a backstabber, a pretentious mischief-maker, a sadist and sometimes a dominating destructor. It is none other than ‘HYPOCRISY’! Beware of its entity…don’t let it beguile your soul! It’s lurking somewhere nearby…! It’s a demon in disguise.
