Awakened India..

Happy Independence Day !!

And tell the world—

Awake, arise, and dream no more!

This is the land of dreams, where Karma

Weaves unthreaded garlands with our thoughts

Of flowers sweet or noxious, and none

Has root or stem, being born in naught, which

The softest breath of Truth drives back to

Primal nothingness. Be bold, and face

The Truth! Be one with it! Let visions cease,

Or, if you cannot, dream but truer dreams,

Which are Eternal Love and Service Free.

- Swami Vivekananda, Awakened India, in August 1898

Solar Eclipse 09 - Science with Religious Beliefs

Awesome solar eclipse of '09. The longest solar eclipse of the century.. 6:39 seconds of Totality.. Witnessed by the largest crowd ever..

Understanding it thru science with a hint of religious beliefs, makes a perfect recipe for a solar eclipse in Asian countries !! ..I wish I would have been in India to have a glimpse of it..

Oh My Friend..

While driving to Sequoia NP, Dilip played this telugu song. The "simplicity" of the music piece takes it to totally different level.. I am just hooked onto it.. Hats off to Mickey Meyer !!

"Simplicity".. hmmm... reminds me of somebody.. Oh My Friend, this is for you :) !!

नाहुनीया उभी मी...

नाहुनीया उभी मी सुकवीत केस ओले
वेड्या मुशाफिराने त्याचेच गीत केले.

अवकाश भारलेला, माझे मला न भान
अनिवार एक होती, ओठावरी तहान
खासाचिया लयीत, संगीत पेरलेले
वेड्या मुशाफिराने त्याचेच गीत केले.

साधून हीच वेळ, आला कोठुन वारा

सुकवीत फूल त्याने, लुटला पराग सारा

मग होय चंदनाचे अस्तित्व तापलेले

वेड्या मुशाफिराने त्याचेच गीत केले

दाही दिशात तेंव्हा आली भरून तृप्ती

अंगांग तेवानारी, ही निवांत ज्योती

येई न सांगता जे, असे घडून गेले
वेड्या मुशाफिराने त्याचेच गीत केले.
