OM NAMO SRI SARVA VEDA MANTRA NILAYAYA NAMAHA
DIVYA DARSHAN I opened gates of my palace to give a grand welcome to God I decorated His Mandir with very costly flowers I prepared golden throne and expensive gifts But I could not have your darshan O! God.
I did a lengthy pooja and prayer systematically I arranged for bhajans and songs by professionals I chanted all the mantras, scriptures and stories But I could not have your darshan O! Swamiji
I decorated all the paths with lights and flowers I appointed hundreds of pandits to perform special pooja I requested hundreds of men to offer formal welcome But I could not have your darshan O! Master
I was disappointed and discouraged I cried in anger; prayed in agony I enquired with elders, pandits and scholars I meditated, finally as You taught me once.
I realised in my meditation that My eyes were closed in pride My ears became deaf with knowledge My hands were chained with wealth My heart was filled with desires and doubts.
Now; my eyes are opened; I can see your smile My ears are cleared; I can listen to you My hands are released; I can touch your feet My heart became vacant; I can have your Divya Darshan.

TRUST – THE KEY VIRTUE
There was a small and beautiful kingdom called Swargapuri, at the foot of the Himalayas on the banks of the river Ganga. It was under the rule of a queen called Santhi. All the people in the country were happy and rich. They had no problems because no evil ever entered into the kingdom. People did not know jealousy, hatred, greediness, poverty, violence etc., therefore they were healthy, rich, active and happy.
The kingdom was guarded on eight sides by eight powerful guards; Love, Sacrifice, Justice, Mercy, Discipline, Respect, Truth and Gratitude. The neighboring king tried several times to conquer Swargapuri. But he could not touch even one inch of its land.
The king invited the wise men in the world and assigned them the duty of investigating into the secret of their success and to find out the power that was guarding and protecting Swargapuri. The team of wise men investigated and found the eight guards. They suggested the king to kidnap the eight guards to conquer Swargapuri.
The king appointed eight warriors; hatred, greediness, jealousy, violence etc and ordered them to kidnap the guards. The warriors kidnapped the eight guards of Swargapuri and arrested them in a golden palace.
Now the king declared war against Swargapuri. He was able to touch the borders but could not enter the country. He was disappointed.
With the help of wise men he prayed to God for help. An angel appeared to the king and said, “O! King! I will fulfill one wish of you. Do you want to conquer Swargapuri? Or do you like to know the reason for your failure?
The wise king thought for a while and said “I want to know the reason for my failure.”
The angle answered, “O! King! You are able to kidnap the eight guards but you or your wise men did not notice another powerful guard in the country “The Trust ". All the people in the country trusted each other; trusted their queen and above all they had great trust in God. When there is trust there was a powerful network of communication which created and sustained unity. When trust was absent, love and other guards could not survive for long. So they escaped from your palace and came back to Swargapuri. This is the reason for your failure.”
Trust is the key virtue and powerful guard to a strong world or a country or an institution or a family. When trust is taken care of, no enemy can enter into one’s territory. If you want to win a battle, kidnap the trust from your enemy, then you will be the final winner.
Have trust on you and your plans Trust others and Trust God. This is The secret of our happiness and success.

My thoughts and plans are always moving around you
My actions and interactions are for you! my beloved God But I am not able to reach you
Who is blocking the avenues to reach You?
May be my ego is saying ‘stop, not proceed’
The fear of simple life; terror of sacrifice holding me back
In struggle for time management; no time to think
God of Mercy! I don’t know what I want
But I acknowledge that my weaknesses are iron blocks
Attracted strongly towards the biggest magnet, the world
No anti-magnetic therapy, I know to detach, but
My soul is crying “It is not what I wanted”
God! My Protector:
Help me to detach from this estranged world of magnet
I am innocent and helpless; only suffer in deemed pleasures
You are my guide and protector; show my destiny
Let me reach your temple; Grant me your protection for ever.

Decided to check it

Put them in the order of list
Difficult to find a meaningful gist
O! My! God!

It is the word generating machine house
Unbelievable number of words arose I may find only in dictionary of book house
One page of words as cool as Himalayan breeze Another page as hot as mid summer sun The scientific brain, took all this to a lab Loaded into a computer to analyse, Aha! L.Tab
On the screen I can see ‘I am sorry’ My CPU cried with new sounds of Sony The mouse became sticky and bony I clicked the enter key! There is a big blow, Jony.
I was taken to a Master Healer of a clinic He cleared out tons of garbage from my minds kik I gathered it all these years with my skill and trick Made it empty and peaceful in his clinic
Gave a prescription ‘Do not to worry’
A smile an hour keeps all worries away
Twice a day meditation to mind any way
Tonic of his divine smile by the way
What consultancy fee I can pay to my Divine Healer, Mystic Doctor Can I give diamonds; they are dull before his wisdom radiating eyes Can I give all my riches; they are not equal to his affectionate smiles Decided to touch his feet with love; gave my soul to his clinic.

NO PAIN – NO GAIN
There was a school on the banks of a river close to a big town. One day a teacher was taking a value education class for seventh class students. In the class he was explaining to them the value of hard work. He said, "Those who take more pains gain more and hard work gives permanent results."
Students did not agree and they argued, "short cut or hard work, we should achieve results. If we are able to achieve our target with short cuts it is very good, so that we can save time and energy".
Master said, "No children! Your ideas are not correct. Results of short cuts are temporary. They blaze and disappear. Results of hard work shine like stars forever." But students were reluctant to accept it. He decided to teach them a permanent lesson.
Next day evening he assembled all the seventh class students and showed them a big heap of plants and said, "There are two types of plants. Some plants grow into bushes and bear small berries. They don't require much care. You need not water them regularly. They bear fruits within three months," He showed another group of plants and said, “These are mango plants. They require a lot of care and you have to supply water, manures etc. regularly. They give fruits only after three years but it continues for more years.”
He looked at the students and said, “Each one of you select one sapling and plant it in our school garden. You have to take care of the plant. Your name will be given to the plant.”
All the students except three, selected berry plants. Three students Ramu, Raju and Siva selected mango plants. After three months berry plants started giving small fruits. All the plant owners enjoyed the berries and teased those three who selected mango plants because those plants didn’t even give new leaves.
After two years, all the students came to 9ᵗʰ class. Berry plants died. Mango plants grew into small trees. As they were hybrid plants they were giving fruits 3 times a year. After one more year they became beautiful trees and started giving a lot of fruits to all. Not only in the school, in the town also they became popular as Ramu mangoes, Raju mangoes and Siva mangoes. The trees added beauty to the school and all three students became very popular.
On farewell day, all teachers appreciated the hard work of the three students. On this occasion the headmaster said, “We may be here or may not, but these three trees carrying names of three students give fruit for a hundred more years.”
All the students learnt an excellent lesson.
Hard work is a shortcut for success.

OM NAMO DHEERODHATHA THEJAYA NAMAHA
YOGI, THE MEDITATOR
There was an ashram close to the chain of mountains covered by thick forests. Several tribal families were living in the forest depending on it for their livelihood. The ashram belonged to a great Rishi. To learn under his guidance young brahmacharies come from all over the world.
A group of fifteen disciples who were about to complete their spiritual, philosophical and other related education, were sitting along with another group of junior aspirants and were discussing yoga and meditation. During conversation some of the junior disciples commented on the great meditators and finally expressed that their seniors were also great meditators. Seniors felt very happy and they were hiding the rays of pride beneath dignified smiles. Exactly at that time Swamiji came and enquired "what are you discussing so intensively". All stood up and wished him. One of them replied, "Swamiji! We are talking about the great meditators in the world."
Another disciple said, "Swamiji, you might have met many great meditators. Can you tell us about such meditators?
Swamiji replied, "Sure! But not now. Come let us go to the tribal village to collect 'Veena' that we ordered last month. All followed Swamiji, on the way he explained to them about the socio-economic life of tribals, their innocence, ignorance and religious beliefs. Disciples understood that tribals were illiterates and didn't know civilized life.
They came close to the village. Close to their path under a tree a tribal young man was involved in making final touches to a beautiful veena.
One of the disciples said, "Swamiji! He is Raju. He is an illiterate tribal man, but he learned the art of making veena. He is not even a classical musician, but makes excellent veenas. People come from far away areas to buy veenas from him. We also gave order to him."
Swamiji smiled and walked close to him. But these disciples didn't know that the tribal man learnt that art from their Swamiji only. Raju was so involved in the work that their conversation or their footsteps did not disturb him. Swamiji was looking at his work and involvement with great affection. But the disciples were burning with anger because Swamiji was standing close to him but he was not standing and not showing any respect.
One disciple burst with anger “How dare he is! Can’t he see our Swamy. He is too proud”. He was about to say something more, but Swamiji stopped him with a sign.
Suddenly a big cobra came passing under his arms and over his laps to the other side, but Raju was not disturbed. When the disciples noticed such a big cobra they shouted with fear and took a few steps backward. To that sound Raju was disturbed. He was surprised and excited in happiness to see his Swamy so close to him. Immediately he touched the feet of Swamiji.
Now the snake turned its direction towards Swamiji and Raju. Both didn’t move. The snake touched Swamiji’s feet and disappeared into the forest.
Swamiji said, “Raju are you not afraid?” Raju replied with folded hands, “No Swamiji! I am in my Gods presence.”
The disciples shivering with fear became normal. They reflected on their behaviour when they saw the snake. But it was a common, natural tendency of human beings. For them Raju was appearing as more than a normal man as he did not show that reaction.
Swamiji turned to his disciples and said, “You asked me about a great meditator. Here he, Raju, a great meditator I found in my life. He gave the definition of devotion and meaning of meditation.”
Swamiji blessed Raju with his divine smile and infinite love. All returned to the ashram with happiness in heart, a beautiful veena in hands and a good lesson in their mind.

AS ONE YOU ARE NONE
In an ashram hundreds of aspirants were getting education and training under a Master. His training was for total personality development of students. He always stressed on the principle of unity, because his disciples were from different countries, with different languages, religions and beliefs.
One day in a class He said, “Dear children! In deep ocean fishes in different sizes live. Big fish always eats small fish. There are some fish which are very small in size. They live in big groups, when they find a very big fish, immediately they make a formation of very big fish. The enemy fish runs away thinking that it is encountering a very big fish. This is the greatness of unity. We can find such unity among animals and birds. If you are united you can encounter any powerful calamity and you can conquer a powerful enemy also.”
All the disciples heard the words of Swamiji carefully. But later as usual they were forming small sub-groups. Swamiji wanted to teach them a lesson with an experience.
One day Swamiji formed a group of 50 students selecting them from different sub-groups. He assigned them a task of getting a type of herbal fruits and leaves from the forest. As usual they all were walking in small groups.
Suddenly they found a demon which was as big as a small hill. They were frozen in fear. The demon was approaching towards them. They couldn't run back or shout for help because the ashram was very far to them.
Suddenly one of the students remembered the lesson of Swamiji on unity. He gave a plan to all the students. All of them climbed big tree and stood in the form of a demon. At once they started shouting as loudly as possible. It created a horrible sound. The demon thought that it was a bigger demon and ran away.
All the disciples came down, hugged each other in the joy of victory. They completed the work assigned by Swamiji.
After reaching the ashram all fell at the feet of Swamiji and explained to him how unity helped them to conquer the demon. They promised Swamiji that till the last day of their stay on the earth they would maintain unity. Swamiji blessed them with his beautiful smile and divine love. Disciples didn't know that it was a drama created by Swamiji to teach them a lesson.
Unity is strength to any creature.
If trees unite – they form thick forest
Man cannot penetrate
If rocks unite – they form into mountain
Man cannot shake it
If water drops unite – they form big ocean
Man cannot conquer
If small ants unite – they kill big python
If men unite – they can the conquer the world
Unity is the safest protector to a country or a family which cannot be broken by any missile

WORRIES' CLUB
The dangerous epidemic spreading fast is 'worry'
Scientists, doctors, psychologists all over are in worry
To diagnose the reason; several tests in labs raised query
Meanwhile it drained away skills, energy and Merry
The source of worry is imagination of fears
This gives pains, problems and results into tears
When trees, plants, birds, creatures don't have fears
Why only man laminates and lingers on useless fears
Worrying became a hobby, later turned to a habit
Minds are crowded with worries and became worry clubs
They generate anger, depression and series of illness
Lost the ability to smile, laugh, love and share joy
An Enlightened Master from the spiritual heaven of the world
Noticed the problem; decided to redeem the worry club members
Constructed temple of Dhyanapeetam; sheltered the worried men
Trained in art of Meditation, the mystic medicine to drive away worries
He showered the tablets of energies into the empty mind
And filled with courage, hope, love, joy, peace, faith in abundance
Converted worries into wealth; transformed lifeless into life
Glory to God of Mercy; the world of worries surrendered at His feet.

IN THE ARMS OF MASTER
I was reborn in the Arms of Master
Took steps towards true life Booster
Holding the little finger of Divine Glider
To fly into the Cosmos of Infinite Lover
Learned the alphabets in the lap of God of Love

The medal showed me the way to ultimate destination
The techniques supported me to build Highways of promotion
The certificate guided me to reach God of All Creation

OM NAMO NIRANJANAYA NAMAHA
ATTENTION ALL TENSION
Craving for others attention
Creates all sorts of tension
Let you be filled with compassion
Never beg for love and affection
Be aware of tricky mind's action
Be careful with cunning ego's reaction
Both are one and the same in action
Always try to put your life in confusion
They always say
Oh! What a great person you are
Ah! Compassionate man, lucky we are
Simply wonderful man always you are
All these stamps on your ego, as you are
Don't be foolish to get in to high mood trap
Always look into your wonderful inner map
Be centred in your being with awareness cap
That gives you a true joy without a gap
