Devotion

Poems, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Devotion has been the core part of Indian culture. People like Ramanujan, Poet Kalidas, Swami Vivekanand and many more where the ardent devotees. Which became successful not only in their career but in life itself.

When you are in devotion ‘you’ don’t exist then the object of devotion becomes a huge part of you. Object of devotion can be your Guru, God, Work or just life.

Devotion is the sweetest way to live. Because in devotion everything becomes sweet. But to be a devotee you must be like a child not judging each and every person you encounter. You must pull of the plug from the likes and dislike. If you are like this something bigger than you will take care of you.

There are numerous stories of bhakti (devotion) where the god came to rescue for the devotee in their hard times. For example:

Poosalar was a sage who lived in a town in South India. The king of that area was building a huge Shiva temple. After many years of work, the temple was nearing completion. The night before the opening ceremony of the temple, which was the king’s lifetime’s ambition, Shiva appeared in his dream and said, “I will not be able to come to your temple’s inauguration because Poosalar has built another temple in the same town. I need to go there. He is also opening it tomorrow.”

The king woke up with a fright, because after he has strived to build this temple for so many years, after so much money and effort, Shiva says he has to go to some other temple built by Poosalar in the same town. “Who is this Poosalar and which is this temple that I do not know about?” He went searching for Poosalar.

After a lot of searching, they found Poosalar, a cobbler by profession, in a small hut. In those days, being a cobbler was a profession that was looked down upon. The king went and asked him, “Where is your temple? Shiva says he is going to go to your temple, not mine. Where is it?” Poosalar said, “I just built it in my mind.”

Every brick, every stone, he slowly built it for many years in his mind, and that is more of a reality than what you build with stone and brick.

So this is the power of devotion.Be in devotion and let life happen to you more intensely

Inner engineering, which changed my life totally

Namaskaram Everyone,

My self Ritesh Shenoy from Mumbai I did my Inner engineering in September 2016 the day I stepped onto the step to change my life.

So I had written My experience of inner engineering last time also. But I didn’t wrote everything in it so thought of writing it elaborately.

I am born in a Middle class family and when I was 6 years of age Chicken Pox invaded my body and made me suffer my whole of Childhood and Teenage. The Chicken Pox brought the allergy with it and from birth my ability to understand and articulate something was weak and also I could not understand many things in the world except martial arts movie (Bruce Lee is my favorite).

This was the most toughest thing as a child I went through to understand the life what is happening around me and why it is happening. Many questions in my head but I could not speak up. I was bullied, teased, I consumed lots of medicine etc.

So I started searching for happiness in the world.

The first thing I saw was people who were having girlfriend were quite happy so I tried to get myself a girlfriend and it was a bad idea. Because there is one thing I saw which I was unaware of is the breakup and when I saw the amount of suffering the people go through the break up made me not to approach anyone (hahahahaha).

Then another thing I got attracted to solace myself was drinks, smoke and drugs. As I grew up, i thought of trying this and side by side I was having my health medication also. So the time came when I went study out of station to study.

In the name of study I tried many things to solace my suffering of my past but everything just maximized my suffering and made me take drastic steps that is to jump to end the life. But when I was about to do something within me said don’t do it and I got down.

So after failing every attempt of bringing happiness to myself and I returned Back to home dropping the education that I was doing. So I started seeing for the videos where I could my suffering little. So started doing the Om meditations from the YouTube which was a hour long but I couldn’t sit for a minute.

So after searching long enough i started searching the meaning of meditation and how it can be used. So during the search there came the first video of some white bearded guy (A typical Indian yogi) from my childhood I didn’t believed an yogi or baba but this one intrigued me.

His English was so amazing and the logical explanation of life i started to search about him more. So i realized that after enough searching that he offers yoga programs and many people have got many health benefit and over came through stress problems (which i was going through). And so i enrolled for the first basic program called as Inner Engineering the name itself attracted me.

It is a 7 day program (I will provide the link of the program down) this was a turning point in my life.

In that program there is 21-minute meditation called Sambhavi Mahamudra kriya has been thought and after practicing it for 4 months my whole suffering went away, Addictions went away and my medication came down drastically. I started to express myself more joyfully, my speech and pronunciation became fluent. And the important thing I understood life in a different way.

Inner Engineering is a gift that i gave to myself and through my guru’s grace many things have changed in my life.

Lastly I would like to say that whoever is going through depression or stressed out or anything. If you want to know the joy of life you have to turn inward and this is the best tool.
