Atmānanda- Laharī

Joy of giving - Poem on Da Da Da  As I was walking down the road, a bright lightening struck abode Soon was followed by a loud thunder which made me wonder! Clouds chatter making a huge sound Da, Da, Da .... It goes all around Meaning of these syllables Explored by ancient ṛṣis Expressed in Brihadaranyaka Opens the minds of all ages  Da Da Da  Damyata, Dayadhvam, Datta Da, Da, Da Dama- Mastery over senses Learning to limit with fences Daya- Compassion to all Ability to lift those who fall Datta- Giving, 'as though' no tomorrow Giving, 'as though' no bones in the hands Giving can be in any form Money, time, Knowledge, Love Let it be the universal norm Give- just like the wind Give- just like the sun Give- just like the water Give- just like the earth Give- without a barrier Give- without any hesitation Because everything is given to you Swami TV talk on Vishnu Sahasranama 

  Space for cold This little virus wanting a place to multiply rested on my face. Creating a havoc with cough & sneeze lungs do ache in fatigue & wheeze. With short notice, plans do change As though everything rearrange Body resting with hot tea, Immunity kicks in with Vitamin C Secretly inside a battle is started  Survivor of the fittest gets other departed Virus will move away in few days  Will sure find another body to stay I accommodate everyone with grace Just like the immeasurable space 

Being at the Long Beach   Just be Feel the earth below Sense the wind blow See the water flow Enjoy the fire glow Be the ocean Let the waves come and go Let the thoughts rise and fall  Let the events unfold  Let the stories be told Be the light  Let the roles play Let the lives display  Let there be awards  Let there be festivities   Be the truth  Let the past be  Let the future be Let the present be  Let the space be  Be the flow Let the beach be long Let there be no clogging  Let there be no longing  Let being be the belonging  Just be 

 1. Magic unfolded in Eugene  for the mumukśu engines   Finding the right teacher is by grace, All you need is a sidelong glance 2.   I abide as I am I shine as knowingness I bring joy at all times I is established as Brahman   3.  Universe rises and sets in me, new world is formed in the clouds   I am that Brahman, without any doubts I shine brightly as the sun   4. No destruction is possible for me,   from within or outside for me   I am the seer without eyelids In my presence, all things exist   5. No drying, wetting or burning   No cutting by those four elements   I accommodate all like space I am unaffected just like space 6. I exist even in the insentient I shine through the sentient Understand the reflecting image Transcend the illusionary mirage   7.  Sat is the existence in all things   Sentient and insentient forms   Chit shines joyfully as consciousness Manifesting as a variety of talent...

Accepting With Gratitude Body mind complex may have a name Doctor, Teacher, Mentor bringing lot of fame Ambition, Career, Academics, all a game Ego swells up needing some tame CV is highlighted in freestyle   LinkedIn is updated as a great profile Meetings, panel interviews, job offers Title, bonus, benefits, Dollars Accept the results with gratitude  Attitude determines one's altitude All is well always, that is quietude Prime Mover has a great magnitude Surrender to the supreme power Understand the flow of the overpower Things align spontaneously  Events, results ensue harmoniously Everything is given  Ability to think is given Ability to express is given Ability to work is given Work is by all for all Action is by one for one  Let us work, just like the nature Work for all without a nomenclature Wind blows for all Water flows for all Sun shines for all Let us work for all
