What do people do?

Many Buddhists visit temples on Vesak to listen to monks give talks and recite ancient verses. Devout Buddhists may spend all day in one or more temples. Some temples display a small statue of Buddha as a baby. The statue is placed in a basin filled with water and decorated with flowers. Visitors to the temple pour water over the statue. This symbolizes a pure and new beginning.

Blissful life...

Blissful Life
poem by Dr. Ram Sharma about his grandfather

In the fertile orchard of the world
spread a blissful life
spread upon every atom of the universe
everlasting--ever new
spread of honey in flowers
spread as immortality among mortals
fill every new zeal in the dead 
mundane feelings
come forward and hug mortality
scatter riches in life's Divine

Eternal light...

ETERNAL LIGHT

POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA
The eternal light has slept
the darkness of ego of self has arisen
the arrow of worldliness has pierced through our consciousness
silence is my flute as firm faith of divinity
i want to awake from this mundane faintness
fickleness is my lamp of firefly
we have not to make this life as weight
the waves of time are coming and going
we were born and died numerous times
the love has dried , the sun of compassion has set
we have to live with eternal light
of OM

we have to live with eternal light of OM

My leela...

YOUR LEELA
POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA
I want to be part of your leela
i want to dance at your every rhythm
you are sun of this universe
the lotus-era blooms from you
i have no other condition of my life
you met
i am enlightened
i want to become one flower of your garden
i want to become one wave of your great sea
i want to be part of your leela

Loving footsteps...

LOVING FOOTSTEPS
A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA

Great persons are wavesthat touch within
the tender hearts of people.
Great persons are the fragrant air
filling this atmosphere
with such serene fragrance.
Great persons leave their footsteps
upon every way they pass;
living not only for themselves
but loving everything too.
They come planting
life as a tree within hopeful joy;
not for themselves but for all.

Arise! Awake! and Think!

NEVER HAS BEEN BEFORE

by Dr Ram Sharma, Meerut, India

Such kind of pomp and show,
Never has been before,
Men so brutal and uncivilized,
Never has been before,
This selfishness and materialistic blindness,
Never has been before,
Men having all the facilities,
And devoid of love and satisfaction,
Never has been before,
Arise! Awake! and Think

Lord Buddha is laughing at us...

LAUGHING BUDDHA

Lord Buddha is laughing at
On our two faces,
We are fighting each other,
On caste, creed and religion,
We should fight with poverty and hunger,
Buddha is smiling,
To see our creativity of cheating,
Our blood is being shed,
Like water,
The water level is falling,
But blood level is increasing,
Birds and animals have disappeared
He is laughing on our disconcern,
Of these things,
His laugh is more acute on,
Our materialistic blind race
Buddam Sharnam Gacchami

Becoming one with OM through your sadhana.. . daily spiritual practice...

When you perform an activity (kriya) as an offering to the Lord, your own good, what is good for others, and the highest good (swartha, parartha, and paramaartha) all merge!
First, you and I become we. Next we and He becomes One.
The individual soul, the ‘I’ (jiva) should accomplish identity first with the creation (prakriti) and then with the Supreme Divine (Paramatma). This indeed is the significance of the mantra Om Tat Sat (which connects the identity of the individual with the Universal Brahman).
‘He’ and ‘I’ are always there; the spiritual practice (sadhana) is always there too. Just as the sun is inseparable and is never apart from its rays, under no circumstances should any aspirant part with one’s sadhana. It is only then they can be said to be one with Om.

- Prema Vahini.

Open the heart chakra through meditation...

Perhaps there is something to be said for the old adage about a so called "magnetic" personality.... in eastern philosophy, the intent of spiritual practice or sadhana is often to open the heart chakra for greater compassion and a feeling of ONENESS (advaita) with all creation...all forms...

Life is a dream
a rainbow between life and death
a sailing ship amidst upheavals
search yourself
in the large desert land
the sun will arise in your dark abode
a new Ganges will flow
what is life...
life is hope

the science of Being is much more valuable for human life than all the sciences known so far...

"The science of Being, which gives rise to the practical art of living, is a science which is much more valuable for human life than all the sciences known so far." Maharishi‏

Life is nothing but an opportunity for love to blossom...

Life is nothing but an opportunity for love to blossom. If you are alive, the opportunity is there – even to the last breath. You may have missed your whole life: just the last breath, the last moment on the earth, if you can be love, you have not missed anything – because a single moment of love is equal to the whole eternity of love." ~ Osho
“The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.” ~ Osho
