O LORD, PLEASE COME & SIT IN FRONT OF MY EYES (मेरे दो नैना दे अग्गे) #Blog0044

O LORD, PLEASE COME & SIT IN FRONT OF MY EYES (मेरे दो नैना दे अग्गे)

आन बवो मेरे दो नैना दे अग्गे , कन्हैया लाल, आन बवो

मोर मुकुट मत्थे तिलक बिराजे, गल वैजयंती माला साजे

मुरली होंठाँ ते सज्जे 

कन्हैया लाल, आन बवो मेरे दो नैना दे अग्गे  

आ प्रीतम अखियाँ च लुकावां, जग तो लुकाके तैनूँ दिल च बसावां 

नज़र किसी दी ना लग्गे 

कन्हैया लाल, आन बवो मेरे दो नैना दे अग्गे   

आ मोहना गल्ला दिल दियाँ करिए, प्यार वाला रंग एना अखियाँ च भरिए

पता किसे नूँ ना लग्गे 

कन्हैया लाल, आन बवो मेरे दो नैना दे अग्गे  

(ये जो श्री कृष्ण का शृंगार है बड़ी महिमा है प्रभु के श्रृंगार का चिंतन करने से मन का विकार दूर होता है मन बार-बार विषय में जाए विकार में जाए तो नख से शिख तक प्रभु के रूप की परिक्रमा लगाइए, नख से शिख तक निहारीये जी भर के)

प्रेम स्फुरित होता है हृदय से, प्रेम ठहरता है अखियों में, प्रेम विश्राम पाता है प्रभु के चरणों में   

O Lord, please come & sit (आन बवो ) in front of my eyes (मेरे दो नैना दे अग्गे)

Your crown with peacock feather adorns You beautifully, a lovely flower garland also bedecks you

& to top it all is Your flute

Come O Lord, let me hide You in my eyes (आ प्रीतम अखियाँ च लुकावां)  & then in my heart (तैनूँ दिल च बसावां ) away from prying eyes of the world (जग तो लुकाके)

Come O Lord, let us talk heart to heart (आ मोहना गल्ला दिल दियाँ करिए), let our eyes ooze with tears of mutual love (प्यार वाला रंग एना अखियाँ च भरिए)

wish that none comes to know of this (पता किसे नूँ ना लग्गे)  

so that none’s black eye falls on You (नज़र किसी दी ना लग्गे)

The make up decoration of Lord is extremely significant – if you contemplate on this & enjoy the blissful nectar of His darshan – right from His head (शिख) to toe nail (नख), all your faults vanish & mind & heart are purified effortlessly

Love sprouts first in heart, it is reflected then in eyes & ultimately finds eternal rest at Lord’s feet

SPIRITUALITY IS MEANT TO EMPOWER YOU FROM INSIDE and CLEAN THE “MIRROR” OF HEART #Blog0043

Spirituality is meant to empower you from inside clean the “mirror” of heart

बाबा फरीद कहते हैं  

“के घर पंडित बुलाए, ते राहु केतु वी वखाए

जे हथ ना चलाए, फेर तकदीर की करे

मत्था टेकना ना आवे, फेर फकीर की करे”

क्या करेगा कोई यदि आप धर्म को कामना पूर्ति का साधन मानते हैं, धर्म कैसे जीवन में सुख दे

धर्म आपकी कामना पूर्ति के लिए नहीं है

धर्म तो आपके जीवन का अभाव दूर करने के लिए है

धर्म तो आपको भीतर से सबल समृद्ध बनाने के लिए है

धर्म का आचरण है, अनुशासन है

How can anybody help a person who prays only for worldly gains.

How can spirituality help in fulfilling your transient worldly desires.

Spirituality is meant to empower you from inside core, to remove all its shortcomings, to clean up the selfish petty desires & clean the “mirror” of heart so that you can see yourself clearly & thereby find true love of Lord and fulfil the true purpose of human life. 

Bhagvatam: GOD CAN PROTECT US FROM ALL DANGERS, 21st June

Bhagvatam: God can protect us from all dangers.

TRANSLATION
May the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His incarnation as Dhanvantari relieve me from undesirable eatables and protect me from physical illness.

May Lord Rshabhadeva, who conquered His inner and outer senses, protect me from fear produced by the duality of heat and cold.

May Yajna protect me from defamation and harm from the populace, and may Lord Balaräma as Sesha protect me from envious serpents.

PURPORT
To live within this material world, one must face many dangers, as described herein.

For example, undesirable food poses a danger to health, and therefore one must give up such food.

The Dhanvantari incarnation can protect us in this regard.

Since Lord Vishnu is the Supersoul of all living entities, if He likes He can save us from adhibhautika disturbances, disturbances from other living entities.

Lord Balaräma is the Sesha incarnation, and therefore He can save us from angry serpents or envious persons, who are always ready to attack.

Gita shloka 3.14, ALL LIVING BODIES SUBSIST ON FOOD GRAINS, WHICH ARE PRODUCED FROM RAIN. RAINS ARE PRODUCED BY PERFORMANCE OF YAJÑA, 20th June

Gita shloka 3.14, 20^th June

TRANSLATION

All living bodies subsist on food grains, which are produced from rain. Rains are produced by performance of yajña [sacrifice], and yajña is born of prescribed duties.

PURPORT

Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa, a great commentator on the Bhagavad-gītā, writes as follows: ye indrādy-aṅga-tayāvasthitaṁ yajñaṁ sarveśvaraṁ viṣṇum abhyarccya taccheṣam aśnanti tena taddeha-yāntrāṁ sampādayanti te santaḥ sarveśvarasya bhaktāḥ sarva-kilviṣair anādi-kāla-vivṛddhair ātmānubhava- pratibandhakair nikhilaiḥ pāpair vimucyante.

The Supreme Lord, who is known as the yajña-puruṣaḥ, or the personal beneficiary of all sacrifices, is the master of all demigods who serve Him as the different limbs of the body serve the whole.

 Demigods like Indra, Candra, Varuṇa, etc., are appointed officers who manage material affairs, and the Vedas direct sacrifices to satisfy these demigods so that they may be pleased to supply air, light and water sufficiently to produce food grains.

 When Lord Kṛṣṇa is worshiped, the demigods, who are different limbs of the Lord, are also automatically worshiped; therefore there is no separate need to worship the demigods.

 For this reason, the devotees of the Lord, who are in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, offer food to Kṛṣṇa and then eat-a process which nourishes the body spiritually.

 By such action not only are past sinful reactions in the body vanquished, but the body becomes immunized to all contamination of material nature.

 When there is an epidemic disease, an antiseptic vaccine protects a person from the attack of such an epidemic.

 Similarly, food offered to Lord Viṣṇu and then taken by us makes us sufficiently resistant to material affection, and one who is accustomed to this practice is called a devotee of the Lord.

 Therefore, a person in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, who eats only food offered to Kṛṣṇa, can counteract all reactions of past material infections, which are impediments to the progress of self-realization.

 On the other hand, one who does not do so continues to increase the volume of sinful action, and this prepares the next body to resemble hogs and dogs, to suffer the resultant reactions of all sins.

 The material world is full of contaminations, and one who is immunized by accepting prasādam of the Lord (food offered to Viṣṇu) is saved from the attack, whereas one who does not do so becomes subjected to contamination.

 Food grains or vegetables are factually eatables.

 The human being eats different kinds of food grains, vegetables, fruits, etc., and the animals eat the refuse of the food grains and vegetables, grass, plants, etc.

 Human beings who are accustomed to eating meat and flesh must also depend on the production of vegetation in order to eat the animals.

 Therefore, ultimately, we have to depend on the production of the field and not on the production of big factories.

 The field production is due to sufficient rain from the sky, and such rains are controlled by demigods like Indra, sun, moon, etc., and they are all servants of the Lord.

 The Lord can be satisfied by sacrifices; therefore, one who cannot perform them will find himself in scarcity-that is the law of nature.

 Yajña, specifically the saṅkīrtana-yajña prescribed for this age, must therefore be performed to save us at least from scarcity of food supply.

(saṅkīrtana-yajña  means  HARE KRISHNA MAHAMANTRA)

 

 

Bhagvat: ACTUALLY, THE LIVING ENTITY IN HIS PURE CONDITION IS ALWAYS VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO THE LORD, AND THE LORD IS DEAR TO HIM, 20th June

ACTUALLY, THE LIVING ENTITY IN HIS PURE CONDITION IS ALWAYS VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO THE LORD, AND THE LORD IS DEAR TO HIM

TRANSLATION
He holds no one as very dear and no one as inimical.

He has no one for His own relative, and no one is alien to Him.

He is actually the soul of the soul of all living entities.

Thus He is the auspicious friend of all living beings and is very near and dear to all of them.

PURPORT
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, in His second feature, is the Supersoul of all living entities.

As one's self is extremely dear, the Superself of the self is still more dear.

No one can be the enemy of the friendly Superself, who is equal to everyone.

RELATIONSHIPS OF DEARNESS OR ENMITY BETWEEN THE SUPREME LORD AND THE LIVING BEINGS ARE DUE TO THE INTERVENTION OF THE ILLUSORY ENERGY.

BECAUSE THE THREE MODES OF MATERIAL NATURE INTERVENE BETWEEN THE LORD AND THE LIVING BEINGS, THESE DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIPS APPEAR.

ACTUALLY, THE LIVING ENTITY IN HIS PURE CONDITION IS ALWAYS VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO THE LORD, AND THE LORD IS DEAR TO HIM.

THERE IS NO QUESTION OF PARTIALITY OR ENMITY.
