Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror (Official Video)

Man in the Mirror.





The word for mirror in Sanskrit does reflect on the human psyche of wanting to leave an impression.



Let's reflect on the word Mirror today.





The word for Mirror in Sanskrit is दर्पण (darpaNa).



It has other meanings too.



It can also mean Pride,Vanity,eye,kindling,inflaming as to lead to pride.



Well in order to establish "Pride,Vanity,eye,kindling,inflaming as to lead to pride" we need to have a reflection.



A perception of ourselves, the reflection (प्रतिबिम्ब) we project (प्रक्षेप) ourselves to be mirrored by our desires.



Soooooooooooo? Wow! I am starting to sound like Maxim Bady!(go Google Maxim Bady...He is one heck of a guy)



I mean..what was I trying to say here?



Well.. I guess nothing much.



Just wanted to explain about the word Mirror and spoke some mumbo jumbo in the process.

भरतनाट्यम् (bharatanATyam)





Let's talk about dance today.


Yes! भरतनाट्यम् (bharatanATyam)



Now mostly the word भरतनाट्यम् (bharatanATyam) is thought to be dance of India.


But is that what it means?


Not really!


Let's find out what it means.


भरत (bharata) can be broken down into the following:


1) "भ" इति अक्षरेण भावः ("bha" iti akSareNa bhAvaH) =bha stands for bhAva


2) "र" इति अक्षरेण रागः   ("ra" iti aksSareNA rAgaH)  = ra stands for rAga

3) "त" इति अक्षरेण तालः   (  ta iti akSareNa tAlaH  ) = ta stands for tAla

4) नाट्यम् (nATyam) means dance.

Therefore भरतनाट्यम् (bharatanATyam) means a dance that is combination of bhAva+rAga+tAla

So it has to be a perfect balance..surely we would not want to over dose the "ra" part and guess who would come calling? Ra Ra anyone????

Nau Sau Chuhe Khakar Billi Haj Ko Chali

Nau Sau Chuhe Khakar Billi Haj Ko Chali.

There is a saying in Hindi that goes... "The cat ate 900 mice and went on a pilgrimage"


Its pokes fun on those who cover up their questionable acts by acting holy.


So let's learn about the word Mouse today.


Mouse in Sanskrit is called मूषकः(mUSakaH).

Even a rat is called मूषकः(mUSakaH).


Though there are many other words for mouse..मूषकः(mUSakaH) is the most commonly used.


Another interesting name for a mouse is बिलकारिन् (bilakArin).

This name denotes the ability of the mouse to gnaw and make holes.



Since मूषकः(mUSakaH) is so commonly used for mouse and rat so if you actually want to call someone a rat and you do not want anyone to know what you mean, you can always call them बिलकारिन् (bilakArin).

50 Shades of Compassion.(शतार्ध करुणरङ्गः) shartArdha karuNaranga.




Compassion(karuNa)(करुण) is a human emotional response ... a cocktail of love,empathy and a feeling of reaching out to another person with a heavy dose of sympathy.


It's a complex emotional response without which many of us would not be able to emote.


Most spiritual practices advocate a feeling of detachment  vairAgya(वैराग्य) in order to get onto the higher planes of consciousness.


But what is the literal meaning of vairAgya(वैराग्य)?


Well technically it means loss of color.


So why do we want to become "colorless"?


How are we supposed to feel compassion (करुण) is we are losing the shades of life?


A spiritual being is expected to be detached yet be an Ocean of Compassion(करुणसागर)(karuNa sAgara).


Compassion is a bilateral expression.


It's not unilateral.


We flow with compassion and should allow ourselves to receive the pleasure that comes with it.


vairAgya(वैराग्य) need not be a lobectomy of our emotions.


Many view pleasure as a bad word just because it needs to go through the sense organs and many want to by pass the senses to reach a state of bliss(आनन्द)(Ananda) yet forgetting that it's through the senses even compassion flows.


So why deprive ourselves the pleasure and joy of giving and receiving?


We should learn to enjoy the feeling of reciprocation that 50 shades of compassion offers (शतार्ध करुणरङ्गः) (shartArdha karuNaranga)


Mr Grey will see you now.

Michael Jackson - Black Or White (Shortened Version)

आत्मवत् सर्वभूतेषु द्रष्टव्यम्   (Atmavat sarvabhUteSu draSTavyam)







आत्मवत् सर्वभूतेषु द्रष्टव्यम् |





आत्मवत् = Like self


सर्वभूतेषु = All beings


द्रष्टव्यम् = Should look at.









Therefore it doesn't matter if you are black or white, we should look at all beings as we look at ourselves.

This seems simple but very few people can have equal vision(समदर्शिनः).

Most of us have preconceived notions but we do not seek to decipher for ourselves yet feel another is always not on the right path.


There is no right or wrong path.

There is only the path best suited for us.
