Let’s dance

This full moon night, when the moon’s light is the brightest — the lord Krishna did Maha-Raas-Leela. And it is said, since that first time, at every Sharad Poornima He does Maha-Raas-Leela repeatedly.

{Maha-Raas-Leela is something, where lord Krishna is supposed to manifest himself in hundreds of Krishna and dance with each Gopi (the devotee)}

The nectar

It is said, the heaven showers nectar at this night, so people put their things in the moon’s light so that nectar could mix in them — mostly people put eatables.

The eye-sight

It is also said, one who does the eyes’ work in this moon light, mainly the needle work — his or her eye-sight improves a lot.

Few other things

It is also also said, the mothers should have fast this day for their children long and disease free life.

The full moon and no moon (black night) — both of the days, are also considered good for tantrik activities.

“Don’t go to this path!”

“Why?”

“A Killer lives there, he robs and kills ruthlessly, he is Angulimal, he has killed hundreds of men and women” people said, thinking about Buddha’s life.

Buddha replies nothing, and keeps on moving, People say to him again and again … but still, he replies nothing and keeps on moving.

“Oh! a man is coming, coming alone.Perhaps! he wants to kill me,” Angulimal thought, “I take my weapon and will kill him first.”

Buddha making out his way keeps on walking.

“Hey stop!” he leaped to him.

“I’ve stopped long ago, when will you stop Angulimal?” Buddha asked.

First time in life, Angulimal finds someone so silent, unafraid and kind by words and gestures.

“What do you mean by you have stopped and am I not?” he inquired.

“I’ve stopped for good … I have given up hurting people, killing people.”

Some current starts vibrating inside Angulimal’s body and he remains in shock for plenty of time as for the first time now he is opening his real eyes.

“Show me the way,” Angulimal begged.

“Follow me Bhikhu!” Buddha said.

Now Angulimal starts living with Buddha and asks him what if people will ask me that I’ve killed so many people then Buddha tells him that tell people since you are born to noble path you haven’t hurt anybody and if people throw stones at you and abuse you, you need to suffer that, it is the return back from those whose people you have killed earlier and you might suffer this for many lives. Angulimal understands and follows what Buddha says to him.

–

That was a story between light and dark, light wins! I don’t know exactly what actually had happened between them, but one thing is certain: we can put ourselves on noble path anytime we want.

The moment you start looking the purpose of your life, you leave everything, and sit in corner for a while. If you can stretch “for a while,” you can take a plunge to become a divine architect.

A divine architect is one, who makes the pillars of his life, from his “highest identity,” and he sees everyone in their “highest identity.” Highest identity is beyond mortal boundaries, where decisions are only made which are divine, life-enhancing and please to the heart.

Once, the Gopikas of Vrindavan were lifting heavy Ghadas of water, while their cowherd friend Krishna stood by and watched. He made no move to help them … however, a little later when they wanted to remove the Ghadas from their heads, to place them on the ground. Krishna rushed to help them. When asked, Krishna replied, “My task is to help human to unburden their karmas, not assisting them in adding.”

Here is the list of 108 names of lord Vishnu, it is said that chanting name of lord helps in spiritual progress; it stops thoughts, increase vibrations and makes positive energy field. Though, the mantra “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna-Krishna, Hare-Hare; Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama-Rama, Hare-Hare,” is called Maha Mantra, but to chant 108 names is also useful, as it connects with lord’s qualities and attributes.

They talked about ethical knowledge; both of them brushed aside other things. As the subjects like mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, cosmology, medicines and other sciences are nothing to do with improving upon a man’s character and getting truth of life. Though, they help in making better living conditions and to earn money.

When the Greek was plunging into complexities of vague knowledge, Socrates talked about just ethical knowledge, and whole life he insisted upon this.

Krishna said, apart from ethical knowledge, others are ignorance; he gave a list of what comes in ethical knowledge.

The attraction of non-ethical things is too much; we often forget what Sages have told us. Not only these two, but each Sage would say "Ethics make the life worthwhile."

Do you wonder that Hindu God, Krishna, is colored in blue? Not, in green, red and yellow colors? The answer is here.

When there is no color, there is blue color, see the sky, it has no color, but out of its depth the blue color arises. See the rivers and oceans, they have no color, but "blue" color appears out of their depth.

Krishna is the representation of love and spirituality, to show the profound deepness of them, sometimes, he is colored in blue.

He was an enlightened master, he was crying … saying "people don’t understand their sufferings," not one, but Guru has seen many enlightened masters crying profusely, they feel others pains as their pains, others happiness as their happiness. Even, they know what has been created by the mind will end up in zero (nothing), every action will be finished in reaction and nothing will remain, apart from the awareness, non-dual identity, self, God or whatever you wish to say only exists. The people who are much mad about only one marg, i.e., sam marg or bam marg, they don’t know their sam marg will end in bam marg and bam marg will end in sam marg. There is nothing like only negative or only positive, things created by the mind end in balancing themselves.

Krishna could have stopped the war, innocent could be saved, Gandhari couldn’t have cursed him – but he didn’t. He let the people die in front of his eyes stabbing each other; even he encouraged Arjuna for killing. Krishna had all the knowledge of peace and love, all the knowledge of self realization and better life, but no one asked him (apart from Arjuna; Arjuna asked coz he got confused with the purpose of his life). And, without asking Krishna didn’t give the teachings. He enjoyed all the pros and cons, all the complexities and disasters – he played his life.

If you proud that you have big degrees in your hand. Now your proud is going in dust (only if you believe in Bhagavad Gita). Because, Bhagavad Gita tells something else about real knowledge.

I’m not faking you can read Bhagavad Gita yourself, which is considered most valuable and sacred scripture. Listen what it says.

First is in Hindi then in English, I took help of Google translate to convert from Hindi to English and edited a bit.

Do you know: how the three movements of time, past, present and future are contained in now, in present only?

The wisdom of J. Krishnamurti says:

Future is what we are now. Tomorrow is what we are today. Tomorrow is what we are actually now.

If we make a radical change in present; tomorrow, the future is changed directly. The future is only now, the tomorrow is only now.

The time, that is series of past, present and future is only contained in "now." Think it!
