Poem: My country Bharat is my relative, not just a land.



My country BHARAT is my relative, not just a land,
She is the mother of the world, with the heart so grand.

Since the beginning of the creation, she is teaching devotion,
Just like in God's kingdom, here also things have emotion.
Emotions are present there, in every particle of her sand,
My country BHARAT is my relative, not just a land,
She is the mother of the world, with the heart so grand.

Rivers and cows are considered as mother here,
In the form of father, elders and Gurus receive love and care,
Through stories and culture, such care is repeatedly enhanced,
My country BHARAT is my relative, not just a land,
She is the mother of the world, with the heart so grand.

The seasons here are also respected as goddesses,
They reciprocate, by giving fruits and vegetables in masses,
The soil here is not considered as dust, but fragrance of God's hand,
My country BHARAT is my relative, not just a land,
She is the mother of the world, with the heart so grand.

Even enemies are welcomed as relatives here,
Even they are transformed, by her warm atmosphere,
Many settle down here to dive in devotion, give up businesses they planned,
My country BHARAT is my relative, not just a land,
She is the mother of the world, with the heart so grand.

Happiness of festivals and seasons is her secondary gift,
Even in difficulties, she want us to be grateful, so that our souls uplift,
For all centuries – Prahlad, Hanuman and Pandavas are her heroes in demand,
My country BHARAT is my relative, not just a land,
She is the mother of the world, with the heart so grand.

To be grateful to everything and everyone around,
Where else can we find the culture so much sweet and sound,
Her culture is full of freedom, for centuries it has naturally spanned,
My country BHARAT is my relative, not just a land,
She is the mother of the world, with the heart so grand.

I would like to conclude the poem by saying that it's our duty and our responsibility to gift such a sweet and sound personal culture of Mother India to the whole world.

We must, proudly, stay connected to our roots!

Why love keeps changing?

It’s interesting to observe how we are absorbed in particular situations in our life. When we are in a particular situation which our heart feels the best, we feel – Oh I can’t live without it, this is what i am here for.  Specifically, our most lovable object keeps changing in life, from childhood to youth to old age. When we are a small child, we are in love with our mother. Mother’s love is considered to be most selfless in this world. And we as a child cry only for one thing always – the love of our mother. We are fully dependent on our mother for everything - beginning with bodily needs like milk to emotional needs like affection.  Gradually we grow up and we find our playmates as our lovable objects. We try to remain out of our home, and wish to play with them always. The same mother whom we loved the most now looks like an enemy as she does not allow us to play with our friends, and we just can't understand - Why she always call me back while playing?...

A lesson for a bike lover.

Once a son, who just turned eighteen, asked his father that he wishes to purchase a new bike. The father replied him to carry on. The son reluctantly asked for the money to which the father replied, "I can not give you the money but I can guide you how to get the money". On further request the father explained, "you can save 50 Rupees everyday from your pocket money for the bike, and the day you are not able to I will help you". The son began to save the money and soon after saving his pocket money for few months he was able to gather the amount needed to purchase the bike he was dreaming about. With his father's permission he excitedly left to buy a new one. To his father's joy, the son returned back with a decent quality second hand bike instead of a new one and saved more than half of his collections. What made him do that? Few months back, he was highly passionate about purchasing a new one! The reason was that he learned the virtues like forbea...

It is possible to get the moon down to earth.

The habit of dreaming is ancient to humankind. We all, whether big or small, have dreams which we wish to accomplish. Even toddlers like to dream big. For instance, many of us had a dream to play with the moon in our childhood. Now if a child is crying to play with the moon, what should the mother do? Neither does she like to say no to her child, nor does she wishes to hamper her child's desires. But, other than saying that this is not an achievable dream, what option does the mother has?  The similar request was placed to Kaushalya by little Ram  once.  She handled it very intelligently. She placed a pot full of water in front of little Ram and Ramji could joyfully witness the reflection of his personal moon in the water. Mother Kaushalya who was full of wisdom added, "My little Ram is so special, that moon has landed on the earth for him".  Thus any parent can make his/her toddler feel that no dream is impossible to achieve. Its just that the way we might...
