உள்ளது நாற்பது - பகவான் ரமண மகரிஷி  

மங்கல வெண்பா -1

 உள்ளதல  துள்ளவுணர் வுள்ளதோ வுள்ளபொரு 

ளுள்ளலற வுள்ளத்தே யுள்ளதா - ளுள்ளமெனு 

முள்ளபொரு ளுள்ளலெவ னுள்ளத்தே யுள்ளபடி 

யுள்ளதே யுள்ள லுணர் 

 பதம் பிரித்தல் 

உள்ளது அலது, உள்ள உணர்வு  உள்ளதோ? 

உள்ள பொருள் உள்ளல் அற உள்ளத்தே உள்ளதால்,  

உள்ளம் எனும் உள்ள பொருள் உள்ளல் எவன்?

உள்ளத்தே உள்ளபடி உள்ளதே உன்னால் உணர் .

A Tale of Two birds

  A   Tale of two birds Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree there sat a bird, With a  coo coo  here, and a  coo coo  there, Here a  coo , there a  coo , Everywhere  coo coo ! This bird eats the berries, Some are bitter, some are sweet. Fluttering here, fluttering there, Restless in its endless search. Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree there sat a jīva, With a  glub glub  here,  and a  glub glub  there , Here a  glub,  there a  glub   , Everywhere  glub glub   ! The jīva whines in sorrow, The jīva whines in fear. Forgetting its true nature,  It suffers birth after birth. Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree the jīva met the Guru, And the jīva turned into a bhakta.

Life is a Yajña

I rise above all selfish demands  I transcend all trivial concerns I allow life to become a yajña. .. I offer this life, as an oblation I offer the personal self,  Me and Mine as an oblation in the fire of wisdom  Vak- The organ of speech I visualize it as Rig Veda I offer all the words that come out I offer speech as an oblation ...

Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike — An Adventurous Awakening Journey Within

Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike — An Adventurous Awakening Journey Within Paro Taktsang , famously known as the Tiger’s Nest Monastery , is one of Bhutan’s most sacred and breathtaking places — perched on a cliffside at an altitude of around 3,100 meters (10,200 feet) in Paro, Bhutan.  It’s not just a hike; it’s a pilgrimage.  We began our hike from the base around 7 AM. Wooden walking sticks rented from locals in hand, Strava app turned on, and spirits eager, we followed our guide, Kinzan, who kindly guided us along. We took a “before hike” photo — smiling, unaware of the lessons waiting ahead. The winding path stretched ahead, shaded by tall trees, strings of prayer flags, with hundreds of steps ascending through the forest.  Around us, travelers from all over the world climbing along—each group led by its own local guide. Step by step, one foot before the other, the hike began.  With every upward step, doubts crept in —  Will I make it?   The walking stick ...
