Kavach (a protective Sheath)

 Kavach ( a protective Sheath)


Our present PM displayed too openly his ability to “trust” when he politely declined to ‘wear’ a bullet-proof jacket, even the vulnerability was great, when he said “then what for, are my security people?( I trust them, more/better  than a jacket “


When a security cover ( kavach/เค•เคตเคš) becomes subtler, the weapon turns harmless ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ

Vashishta offered his physical body to be ‘tested’ by a “siddha_ascetic” who demonstrated his own ability first ( the sword broke, when he slashed his own arm with the other slashing it holding a sword).

To the surprise of that ascetic, the sword just passed through the chest of Vashishta, twice, leaving the body unharmed ๐Ÿ˜œ


Ever heard of the “assassination” of a mahaRishi?

Ever heard of a brahmin lady of the first 3 yugas being ‘raped/molested’??? ( Z security was sophisticated ๐Ÿ™).

( There's a ‘story’ of a mad elephant sent to trample Gautama Buddha deliberately. It became ‘calm’ and sat down at his feet, after it reached His proximity ๐Ÿ˜‚. A symbolic story, to evidence the “subtle Z category security cover, which those spiritually -evolved giants carried along 24/7, at Zero_cost ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜œ)


Even Cyber security was sophisticated. Proof: the pontiff of puri mutt ( a Shankaracharya) had to meditate for some 7 years, to download Vedic maths ( akash_tatwa/nothingness, not just Cloud_computers)!


Our own hidden divinity is held “captive”( a prisoner, not as a security_cover) by our own Wide_spectrum of kavach, our kaarmic residues ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™


A very small but significant difference in the ancients was, they devised the security cover into a cost_effective gadget/tool ๐Ÿ™. ( Evidence abounds even today, if we care to look at few seekers walking barefoot, scantily clothed, in sub-zero temperature around the mountain ranges of Himalayas. Warm clothing are a burdensome nuisance for them ๐Ÿ™. My own curiosity got satiated unwittingly, when i practiced a few spiritual tools for a higher purpose,๐Ÿ™….the byproduct was, i didn't need the ‘normal’ protective clothing from small extremes of weather like hot_sun, torrential_rain, or winter cold suggesting warm_clothes๐Ÿ™).


Spirituality happens to touch every aspect of material life ALSO ๐Ÿ™…..and in a Pronounced way๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™


Securely yours,
psn(30 June, 2026)


Tail piece: This can be an entertainment for readers, but it is an experiential truth for me. Only in 1994 i came to know, that my being within is under a “E-category security cover” provided by my spiritual teacher, under a 400_year_old contract ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜‚. The security is only from external threats. The stupidities i do inside me is my own responsibility ๐Ÿ˜ฅ. It is still operative ๐Ÿ‘


Promotion versus demotion

 Promotion versus demotion


๐Ÿ˜œ


An odd creature i am ๐Ÿ™


Demotion works better for me, when my pursuit is to merge with nothingness ๐Ÿคฃ


Everyone knows about the taste of promotion ( owner's pride and neighbours envy…. goes well with promotion as well, like it used to describe a TV ad)


Demotion, when CONSCIOUSLY opted for, adds an external support to insulate oneself from the inherent tendency of ‘identification’ of the ‘being' within with something that only might ‘belong’ to it, but can never be that something itself ๐Ÿ™.


Rigorous tests emerged when my potential & capabilities started expanding in terms of becoming useful to better_handling of material aspect of life, for myself and others ๐Ÿ˜ฅ. It called for greater caution, to avoid getting identified with this accrued accumulation of capabilities, useful only for handling the life outside of me, and the thing that just belonged to me for this lifetime only๐Ÿ™


Oh yes…. these additional capabilities were an incidental byproduct of my spiritual journey, and were never my purpose of the journey. In fact, ๐Ÿ˜œ, the journey itself largely constituted the ‘distancing from everything that was not_me’ ๐Ÿ™


I don't know how a reader is going to view this narrative ๐Ÿ™… The question of any value addition to a reader arises only thereafter ๐Ÿ™ 


Disowning LY yours,

Curiosity & exploration

 Curiosity & exploration 


The subtle distinction between the 2 drivers.... 

Curiosity

Exploration 

....is easier noticeable in kids ๐Ÿคฃ


( A professional 'teacher', who is unfortunately sincere in teaching, needs the 'use: of sense of Discrimination...to distinguish this, in her each student — for a response to be productive ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ญ)



Otherwise, for mere salary, teacher simply 'parrots' the damn syllabus every year till retirement. Any value addition to the kids is quite incidental and unintentional ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ™


If adults are eager to ‘know' about their own levels of receptivity ( whether it is just a curiosity to know? Or an exploration to rediscover something?)....they can try an honest introspection at their recent sightseeing trips ๐Ÿ˜œ

( I omit mentioning details of my eccentricities in each visit to strange spiritual places, mostly plundered remnants ๐Ÿ™)



But a joke is okay ๐Ÿ‘…..

A cousin of mine, a native of Kerala, and hence understandably ‘extra-proud’ of his grasp in mallu language, boasted of his in-depth grasp of the subtle theme of an old movie “nakhaKshatangal” ( newly released then!). He even described the newer dimensions he noticed incrementally during his second and third viewing of that movie ๐Ÿ˜‚. One hour, he described the ‘subtle’ aspects ๐Ÿ™. He paused.

I replied “ i saw the movie only ONCE ๐Ÿ™”, and continued “i think i can relate the theme to the name of the movie, as a humble guess, since you didn't mention the justification of title of the movie ๐Ÿ™”

And i proceeded with my version of what i saw๐Ÿ˜‚…. Just 15 minutes, since I had to mention ONLY what he missed!

He felt a little awkward to openly say that i noticed even that, which he missed, but he blurted it in another sentence “ i must see that movie again now๐Ÿ‘”( unable to ‘wait’, he traveled a 100 kms to a theatre where it was screened in its second run, morning show, after renewal of licence of 10 years, from censor Board.

Miracle men

 ๐Ÿ˜‚

Miracle men 
The rahasya/secret about their super power!

( I received a forward in WhatsApp.  https://youtu.be/jwdtna3KpbM?is=IvmWgGvojx6coJ6y )

Who within us, is 'seeking' to know?( About such people?)


Whether he is a fakir or Bhagwan?


Any 'miracle' performer becomes popular, much faster than a humble saintly person who quietly minds his own bijness ๐Ÿ™ 


If the 'miracles' are just for show, people seek only entertainment.

If the miracle gives solutions to people, they become 'devotees' 

If miracles cause harm, people hate the person, fear him, and become a slave too ๐Ÿ˜“



That simple fellow going through all the same/similar hurdles of life, and yet remains undisturbed, joyous, emotionally stable, intellectually sharp, highly receptive,responsive etc impresses 'rare few' around ๐Ÿ˜œ. Such rare few seek_to_know the rahasya/secret of this ever_joyous guy. 



Miracles are those which eludes our grasp๐Ÿ™

( A tribal boy from deep african jungle regards even me as a miracle -man, if I touch a wall and a bulb lights_up at the ceiling ๐Ÿ˜œ. Truth is, i lack the basic knowledge when a light refuses to switch on? Wiring, fused bulb or power trip? ๐Ÿค”)


Human body is a miracle gadget๐Ÿ™

It can be turned into a below_animal level of indulgence or can be turned to transcend nature๐Ÿ™ ( personal choice......what i do with my body๐Ÿ˜“)


With rigorous training and practices ( tapas, austerity) this body can become a conduit for receiving+ transmitting subtle energies. Such potential was known as siddhis ๐Ÿ™. The quality of 'mind' is exclusive to such capabilities.


Body can also become a conduit 'naturally' ๐Ÿ˜œ, in rare/stray/freak cases. ( Karmic residues of far_past). How is the extra/super 'powers' going to be used? The quality of mind decides๐Ÿ˜œ..


The people around are also 'driven' by their own mind's quality ๐Ÿ™. ( Rare few bother to 'free' themselves/spirit/atma/whatever, from the clutches of own mind๐Ÿ™. )


Somehow, I wasn't interested or attracted towards any super_powers, or the performers thereof ๐Ÿ™....  Instead, i was keen to make the 'best possible use' of this gadget i got for 'free' and to strive to evolve to my_best, till my last breath. Let the 'giver' of this gadget decide/judge about my performance ๐Ÿ™.  As i grew up, i discovered that i can do something with my body, then something/somebody taught me, i can tame even my mind, using my body&breath ( mind is connected to the 2) ๐Ÿ˜œ...   Good enough ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ‘.   Thus, value_addition became a thing I ended up seeking after๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜‚... It stayed and even stabilised my seeking to refine myself ๐Ÿ™. 


Miraculously yours,

Reincarnation of Rama

 100% fiction ๐Ÿ™

Assuming that Rama was indeed real(assumption is only to 'please' sceptics ๐Ÿ˜ญ)

And, Rama (same character, but present version of aam_aadmi) is around 20 years of age today(2026).

Rama_2026 will live and go unnoticed ๐Ÿ˜œ

No one will vote for him. Deposit lost as an MLA/MP ( even his own family won't vote. They vote for only freebies. Any accidentally honest family fellow will conclude "misfit in today's world. No use wasting my honest vote).

We aam Aadmi are different from aam Aadmi of "RaamRajya"( please see, raamRajya was not about Sri Rama, it was about "rajya", the citizens of tretaYug. Logic ๐Ÿ™)

We are highly tolerant to....
1. Wide spread corruption 
2. Dishonest within+outside family 
3. Mutual indifference 
4. Lack of empathy 
5. Materialism upto 99.99%
6. Display of arrogance of money and it's related power.
7. Disuse of sense of Discrimination ๐Ÿ˜œ ( to the extent that we don't know what it really means๐Ÿ™„)

8) etcetera ( by now, we know what else)

Rama_2026 leans too heavily on outside support ( 100% genuine as 'aam aadmi' and therefore doesn't 'carry' super_powers like other Avatars ๐Ÿ˜ญ).

Meanwhile, those divine guys( somewhere up there) might have perhaps thought "let the aam aadmi do what they like, forsaking the basic_human_values. Anyway 'in the scheme of things'  self_destruction is a pucca embedded software ๐Ÿ‘. Those few who wake up despite the negatives all around, will find their liberation too, clandestinely ๐Ÿ˜œ"

( One guy trying to uplift Bharat is a loner in several subtle ways๐Ÿ™. Trust deficit automatically occupies where negative emotions abound. Love can only feign, not spread ๐Ÿ™)

A tribute to my teacher

 I do not ( rather "should not") expect a reader to find any value addition from this one blog ๐Ÿ™


Nothing prevents a reader to find anything 'worthwhile' in it.


I felt it appropriate to place a gratitude at the feet of my teacher, as a 'gesture' also, since this blog allows me such a freedom ๐Ÿ™ ( my gratitude to the organization "blogger.com")


Any genuine seeker on a spiritual path, finds numerous questions surging from within ๐Ÿ˜œ.

In my case, I CONSCIOUSLY decided to wait patiently till the teacher decides to answer them, unasked ๐Ÿ˜‚.

I did ask one question ๐Ÿ™ ( it was about my disinclination to ask any question ๐Ÿ˜ฅ).

I took every care possible by me, to present the question in strict conformity with verse 110 of chapter 2, in the Manusmriti ๐Ÿ™ ( the care was owing to the reverence I felt for my teacher, despite his flexibility in "ask me any nonsensical question ๐Ÿ‘" )

My question: "why is it that my urge to articulate a question dies by the time I reach your proximity? I fail to ask! ๐Ÿค”"

His reply is too sacred for me to CopyPaste it here๐Ÿ™( it is nothing secret, private, personal, confidential or anything like that.... Just sacred, due to its sanctity๐Ÿ˜‚). I didn't have to ask any question to him thereafter ๐Ÿ™.

Unquestioningly yours,
( this time, "yours" includes my teacher ๐Ÿ˜œ) psn(25 June, 2026)

Stubbornity, firmness, and flexibility

 Stubbornity, firmness, and flexibility 


One blessing in disguise is that my blogs are seldom taken too intensely.( Only one out my 1000+ blogs ‘caused’ a rare and one of the coveted states of spiritual experience. Neither me or that reader can claim any ’credit’. Closest explanation is, like a huge spill at a petrol bunk, with the air super_soaked with the oil, waiting for a spark from a humble matchstick at the edge of the ‘area’ ๐Ÿ˜œ)



My spiritual teacher is a “super” example for me, to learn the ‘basics’ of life ๐Ÿ™ 

It took 3 decades for me to even understand his extra_flexibility in handling ‘me’ as his own_commitment towards the disciple decided upon by_him.  Otherwise, his_flexibility towards many others was like God's own flexibility towards humans๐Ÿ˜œ(“do whatever nonsense you like for a million lifetimes ๐Ÿ‘.  Eventually, you will seek Me”). My teacher's firmness at its subtlest should have been ‘the’ reason for his flexibility unto me! ๐Ÿ˜‚.  



Becoming aware of one's own stubbornity is very basic to living meaningfully ๐Ÿ™. And this awareness leans too heavily upon the need of understanding ”firmness” with utter clarity.

We relax our stubbornity under great stress, mental tension, anxiety, fear etc๐Ÿ˜‚. Perhaps, anger is the only negative emotion that adds to own stubbornity ๐Ÿ™


I leave it at that …. ๐Ÿ˜œ

( I thank my flexibility, which is a gift from my firmness about the reasons thereof ๐Ÿ™)


Firmly and flexibly yours,

psn(25 June, 2026)



Post script:  I can confess here! I haven't been able to adhere to the 110th verse of chapter 2, of Manusmriti, despite decades of consistent efforts ๐Ÿ™.  My own stubbornity is awaiting for a clarity about the need to adhere to it effortlessly ๐Ÿ™. Till then, my firmness is my stubbornity in disguise ๐Ÿ˜ญ, and I am painfully aware of this self_deception ๐Ÿ˜œ

Breath

 Breath


My spiritual teacher narrated a brief story during my first time to a spiritual program, (closest word for its sanskrit name is “synthesis”).


Story:

Gautama Buddha had a very close childhood friend.  A commitment to such friendship is unconditional+ without expectations ๐Ÿ™.

Buddha ‘wished’ that this friend should benefit from the spiritual wealth Gautama possessed. But that friend used to procrastinate every time when Gautama passes by the shop of that friend, saying “too busy with my bijness, next time you visit ๐Ÿ‘”

Years passed. That ‘next time ‘ never came ๐Ÿ˜‚.

News spread that Buddha is going to breathe his_last soon.

Friend was shocked! He rushed to see Buddha ๐Ÿ™.


Disciples prevented him initially “nobody can disturb his peaceful departure ๐Ÿ™”

Friend implored “my kid age friend. Just 5 seconds๐Ÿ™, last_chance for me๐Ÿ˜ญ”

Friend was allowed.


Buddha was lying eyes closed. No movement.

Friend: “Hey, Siddharth ... .I am here. I apologise having neglected you all along ๐Ÿ™. Just tell me one thing. How to get_you after you are gone???”

Gautama opened his eyes, looked into the eyes of his friend and said “watch your breath”. Eyes closed thereafter ๐Ÿ™ 



It is said, these words “watch your breath” became one of the most_powerful spiritual_tool given by Buddha ๐Ÿ™ ( it needs the ‘key words’ for it to function….๐Ÿ˜œ. Only a Guru can ‘initiate’ a deserving disciple to use those ‘key words' ๐Ÿ™. A chant!



( Even otherwise, plain breath_awareness can work….but only according to the ‘fuel of intensity ‘ of a seeker ๐Ÿ˜œ)



I got initiated as well ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™ 


An initiate, yours,

We are basically entertainment seekers

 We are basically entertainment seekers



This blog might disappoint ๐Ÿ™


Readers are advised to exercise caution, similar to reading a ‘notice' for AGM of a corporation, without any ‘explanatory notes’ ๐Ÿ˜œ…  



This blog has many loose ends ๐Ÿ™



In 1970 or so, I was surprised to see a movie being released in morning show ๐Ÿ˜ณ


After seeing the movie, i got the answer ๐Ÿ‘ ( dosage of entertainment is below the minimum requirement of masses ๐Ÿ˜•)


( Chandramohan jain whispered his question, not shouted to the speaker, ๐Ÿ™. He knew the 'nature' of audience ๐Ÿ™. )


Imagine Rajnikant/Amitabh ( even devAnand ) replicating the boxing/wrestling world championship style against villain ๐Ÿ˜œ. Audience will be bored to death.


I was 'eagerly' awaited by my cousins in Kerala during summer holidays. Even after 15 days' stay with each gang, they request 'stay one more week ๐Ÿ™'. ( Now, it is 2 decades since I visited them. They don't 'miss' me ๐Ÿ™. Instead, they feel relieved ๐Ÿ˜œ. I don't entertain ๐Ÿ˜ญ, of late ๐Ÿ˜ฅ).


Remove the frills from crowd_rituals and improve the bare_vedic part, and see if people 'attend' with the same number? ๐Ÿ˜… (The frills obscured the purpose of attendance itself๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™)


Exceptions are everywhere and in everything ๐Ÿ‘. ( Jaggi's third program is a total contrast to the first basic yoga programs, in terms of entertainment. ๐Ÿ˜….... Still, a good number come. เคธिเคฐ्เคซ़, the 'good' in the number is from the 'large' of 8 basic program of 10 places๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ™). 


Seminars are popular today, only because the organisers sacrificed the intrinsic meaning of the word 'semen' in the adapted_concept behind selection of the audience ๐Ÿ™. The main_purpose of 'seminar' is irrelevant now๐Ÿ‘


Patanjali’s yoga sutras( the book) is rarely read. Among the readers very rarely understood. Within those who understood, very few practiced it ๐Ÿ˜ฅ. It is not popular, but antique, and therefore survives today. The ‘preservation’ part is owing to earliest readers who attributed reverence by themselves_becoming a product of that monumental book๐Ÿ™. Today it is a most boring book for today's minds, in its bare form without any explanation ๐Ÿ™



Tersely yours,

A question to WhatsApp University

 A question to WhatsApp University 



Now that this university churns out billions of unsolicited spiritual advices…. ๐Ÿ™



I thought it's worth asking a humble question ๐Ÿ™


Can WhatsApp University provide me the transcript of non_verbal COMMUNICATION received by Mr Paul Brunton, when he visited Sri Bhagwan Ramana maharishi, the second time?


Paul Brunton is the same one who authored the book “Search in secret India”.

The occasion called second visit is described in that book itself ๐Ÿ˜œ ( A.I. search with intelligent key words can yield info very quickly)



Easier question if this one irritated a reader๐Ÿ™


A very famous verse. 

“sruthi smrithi purAnAnAm Alayam karunAlayam |

namAmi bhagavadh pAdha shankaram lOka shankaram “

Dependance

 Dependance 


My PM, Modi has openly declared “dear citizens, i depend on you during my entire term of each 5 years, when you elect me๐Ÿ™”

( Other scam netas depend on me….only on the day of voting ๐Ÿ˜œ)


I like to respond via communication also, apart from performance of my citizen_Dharma ๐Ÿ™. But i failed miserably in reaching him. The intermediaries aren't responsive enough, every time. I have abandoned the idea of reaching my PM, at least till the structure ( interface) is healthy ๐Ÿ™( to convince a sceptical reader, shall i quote an instance where, i failed in my 6_years of persistence to return the freebie amount credited in my family account? ๐Ÿ™. It was just an error, in feeding the rightful recipients account number ๐Ÿ™. But, who else but me can point it out? Public money. )


Kings of the ancient Bharat adhered to a tradition: travel INCOGNITO through the streets of their kingdom ๐Ÿ™. Even the most_timid citizens get ‘reached’ by_the_king๐Ÿ™. Corrupt intermediaries face a threat ๐Ÿ˜œ. King ‘depends’ on the aspirations of common man ๐Ÿ™



A mom depends on her baby, to know how/where/when to give her care.

If parents misunderstood the independence of earning/married children, this “care” for adult children becomes a big nuisance ๐Ÿคฃ 


A joke: 3 kids excitedly reported to their teacher “ M’am, we HELPED an old woman to cross the street today๐Ÿ‘. Our compulsory homework of ‘do a good deed today’ is a completed Assignment ๐Ÿ™”

Teacher: “ Good!”. As an after thought, teacher asked the 3 kids “why did it NEED 3 of you to help her cross the street?”

3 kids : “ because, she NEVER needed to cross the street, and we HAD to somehow do a good_deed ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ”


A doctor depends on the patient's body’s willingness to accept the medicine ๐Ÿ™. We ‘talk’ only about our dependance on a doctor's honesty+ skill ๐Ÿ˜“



A spiritual teacher has a difficulty ๐Ÿ™.  He looks for dependance of a disciple, based on the receptivity of the disciple and not the need/wish/willingness of the disciple ๐Ÿ˜ฅ. That's why a Guru decides, not the disciple about tutelage ๐Ÿ˜œ. And, once a Guru decides, the disciple is choiceless ๐Ÿ™



Godji, (if really an existing entity), didn't take any risk ๐Ÿคฃ. He planted a piece of himself in us, and obviated his dependance on our uprighteousness to manage his bijness ๐Ÿ˜œ. 



Dependantly yours,

Tumour

 Tumour 


I asked Google: can a tumour survive without a host?




A.I. didn't need time to reply๐Ÿ™‚

Quote:

No, a tumor cannot survive on its own without a host. Cancer cells are parasitic; they do not have the complex biological systems required to independently extract nutrients, regulate temperature, or expel waste. If the host dies, the tumor cells quickly perish as well.


Why Tumors Cannot Survive 


IndependentlyReliance on Blood Supply: Tumors cannot create their own circulatory systems from scratch. They rely heavily on hijacking the host's existing blood vessels (a process called angiogenesis) to pump vital oxygen and glucose to the tumor.Energy 


Needs: Cancer cells have a voracious appetite. When removed from the host's tissue and deprived of a steady stream of nutrients, they generally die within minutes to hours.


Extracellular Matrix: Like all human cells, tumor cells need a specific, stable environment (temperature, pH levels, chemical balances) that only the host body provides.





The Only Exception: Laboratory CulturesThe only way a tumor can "survive" outside of a living host is in a specialized laboratory setting. Scientists can extract cancer cells and place them in petri dishes containing a nutrient-rich chemical "culture medium."While these cells can multiply and "live" indefinitely in a lab (the most famous example being the HeLa cell line taken in 1951), they still require constant human maintenance, precise temperatures, and daily feeding to stay alive

UnQuote.


So, a ‘healthy' body simply shows a placard at its door to the tumour “No food, we are closed for today. Sorry for the inconveniences ๐Ÿ™”  And the virus keeps checking for food daily ๐Ÿ˜œ….




Only when it comes to the tumour called FEAR ( in our minds), we don't know how to stop supplying it with its ‘feed’ .  It takes different shapes to keep its supply_chain on๐Ÿ‘. Call it desire, anger, hatred or resistance ๐Ÿ™


( My own conviction: if I can manage to avoid fear in all its forms, I am set_free ๐Ÿ˜œ)


Fearfully yours,

Definition

 Definition 


(x-a) (x-b)

My algebra Teacher had taught this .

I even got good marks in the examination reproducing what was taught .


But as a kid the practical application in normal mathematics came to me only-through a shortcut I learn’t in Vedic maths.


Example:

978 x 990

written as (1000-22)(1000-10)

the short cut doesn’t bother to explain the definition/formula. It simply says “do this mentally, and you get the answer)

I do this:

Step-1: 978 minus 10 (or 990 minus 22, whichever is easier)

I get 968000 (3 zeroes I am ‘asked to add’, no questions)

Step 2 : -22 x -10 , I get = 220

step 3: I add 220 to 968000

answer is = 968220

(Rules are framed under an enacted law, for functionality. Nothing new!)


My physics teacher taught 4 concepts related to water.

Not ‘how to combine and use the 4’ 

Later, I saw water ‘climbing’ on its own at 2 historical places (Paan-chakki & Golkonda fort).


Armed with these 2 (school physics, and visuals of 2 historical places), I resisted paying bribe to the water-Lineman, when I got a house constructed decades ago!

In those days, water was from a huge tank situated far away, catering a very large area of houses, and by the time it reaches my house at the outer edge, the pressure is inadequate to flow out of my tap, 1.5 feet above ground level.

I attempted to combine the 4 concepts(4 chapters, hydroEngr., related), and guidance from visuals of kid-age visit to the 2 historical places. 

I could get water for my domestic needs (without infringing the rules of water-supply, without tapping from underground, illegally )

but the ‘perfection’ in reaching optimal use of the 4 concepts, plus the ancient skills of Bharat, took me 3 decades to ‘reach’.



Moksha/salvation is yet another purpose of life for few at least.

Definitions abound. 

Functional application, to reach that state, attain that state aren’t much sought-after. Because, this activity has no relevance in managing the material aspect of life. 

I was on the look out for tools & techniques, not the definitions, or meaning of salvation (a guru said, “when you attain... anyway you will know it!”. I have reasons to trust him)

Unlike simple task of learning the use of algebra/physics, I had to pour out myself, to learn the subtleties involved in the time-tested tools.... 

one good thing is, there are footholds on the pathless path of spirituality (moksha). Once we plant our feet firmly on any of those footholds, chances of slipping down further is very remote.


Undefinedly yours,

ShringaGiri

 ShringaGiri


A rishi named Shringa is said to have performed penance on that mountain. The mountain got a label ๐Ÿ˜œ…. Shringa’s Giri/hill.


It didn't stop with that…..๐Ÿ˜ญ


The very place acquired certain qualities too. It remained undiscovered, till a ‘visionary’ sighted these qualities ๐Ÿ˜‚

Aadi shankara was that person. He even decided to be charitable about mentioning his discovery ๐Ÿ™. Those life forms, which normally perform ONLY the functions embedded in them ( technical name is PraVrutti…. or, in our ‘way’ of understanding “embedded software”) happened to TRANSCEND this ‘nature' in them and performed a much superior function. 2 examples ( noticed by AadiShankara & depicted in a stone as a picture) is a vulture sparing the life of its prey/food, a snake, and a snake sparing a frog, and instead , both protecting their prey ๐Ÿ˜œ. Sherlock Holmes used to ‘deduce’ . AadiShankara didn't have to, since he was capable of experiencing the subtle energy which caused this Transformation ๐Ÿ™. He decided to institutionalise this quality for the benefit of mankind. A mutt, and a lineage of pontiffs, to this day, came into being, known as Sringeri Mutt. Assignment to the pontiffs is simple ( not quite easy ๐Ÿ˜œ) : to propagate the highest of the 4 declaratory truths, “aham brahma asmi “... ( Tools required for the task, would be a choice according to ever-changing situations). Any visionary can verify the credibility of the place, with sufficient capabilities of perception and sense of Discrimination ๐Ÿ™. ( A symbolic story to illustrate this effect of a ‘place’ like this is ‘The judgement throne of Vikramaditya “ where a cowherd boy happened to sit on a mound of mud, and astounded others by his unbelievable sense of Juris_Prudence, and later a king decided to dig that mound, to discover that throne_of_vikramaditya๐Ÿ™.)


The concept of a place getting energised in a subtle level is available in the science of Temple_consecration ๐Ÿ™. 


( Imagine my surprise, when a once_omitted_paternal uncle wrote an email to me “do you know, the sringeri pontiff, is our KulaGuru ๐Ÿ‘”, in response my email about my visit to Sringeri, for a family_ritual !!! ๐Ÿ˜œ… That, to me, has a new message “never should I indulge in exploiting the commitment of the ‘lineage’ of the pontiffs, no matter if the price i have to pay is Even_my_salvation๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™”)



Humbly yours,

Base and steadfastness

 Base & steadfastness


“เด…เดตเดจเดตเตป เด†เดฏിเดŸ്เดŸ് เด’เดฐു เดจിเดฒเดฏും เดจിเดถ്เดšเดฏเดตും เดตേเดฃം”


I asked A.I.( Google)๐Ÿ˜‚

Perfect! ๐Ÿ‘

My grandmother.

A university by herself. Reason : got her ‘basics'(base) from her traditional lineage and steadfast from this adage๐Ÿ™

But she was illiterate ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

She can ONLY chant what Worked for her ๐Ÿ˜“


Her eight kids couldn't find a reason (situation) to quote this punchline ๐Ÿ˜‚.



A translation looks like this : For oneself, each has to have a base, and the steadfastness ( to stay on that base)


 Such brevity, when it packs too many life_concepts, presents a huge task in finding its functionality, or functional_software to be applied in a routine life ๐Ÿ™ 


I too heard this punchline from her as an advice, in response to my reporting to her, my failure in having missed something very_relevant to me, when i yielded to some other attraction which diverted me away!๐Ÿ˜“. I could understand ONLY THE CONTEXTUAL relevance of this adage at that kid_age. And i did keep in mind, the advice for my use in SIMILAR situations ๐Ÿ™



But now, the subtle sense in it is getting revealed and the value/worth of it seems UNIMAGINABLY deep ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™. ( For example, if the ‘karma’ theory is acceptable as a postulate at least, for an extremely sceptical mind, for a while ๐Ÿ˜œ…..then, applying this adage as a thumb rule, …

Is it not important for a life_form to recognise its ‘base’/เดจിเดฒ & remain steadfast/เดจിเดถ്เดšเดฏം to the PURPOSE OF THAT BIRTH with that PARTICULAR form of body???? ( newer desires, chasing of those desires, creating more complications, inviting more karma’s…. warranted???๐Ÿค”)


Once the base is familiar, and resolve/เดจിเดถ്เดšเดฏം is steadfast, we just dissolve that set of Prarabhdha karma and go๐Ÿ‘. The acquired SKILL of base+ steadfast comes very handy in the next form-of-birth, with next set of prarabhdha karma, carved out of Sanchita karma( our private Godown of karmas๐Ÿ˜œ)

NCC: why do we see things?

 NCC: why do we see things?



This question is what fascinated me more than the lesson in my school NCC ๐Ÿ™

( How to ask oneself, so as to invoke deeper perception, use sense of Discrimination?..... was the derivation gifted by my fascination)



Armed forces are trained to preserve their ‘life’ during a war๐Ÿ™. It is an AWESOME design, which substitutes for the unquestioned sense of obedience ingrained in the same training ๐Ÿ˜‚.

To me, the army training seemed to mimic the style of imparting education in our ancient gurukul—-allow the intellect to function, while the negative emotions within, trying to ask questions which are logically fallacious are bridled, till the intellect reviews them๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™



The answer to the question is simple ( and forms a part of the chapter “camouflage & concealment" as a defense๐Ÿ™)

6 sisters and 1 mother ( easy to remember ๐Ÿ˜œ)


Expansion…

Shape, Size, Shadow, Skyline, Shine, Silhouette (6 S’s)

Movement (1 M)


Army examines thoroughly, the ‘Basics of Life’ thoroughly ๐Ÿ™ ( purpose is survival)

Spirituality, as i saw it,  also looks at ‘Basics of Life' ( purpose is, ultimate liberation, and therefore, the looking/examining is far_deeper ๐Ÿ˜œ. The body gets prepared for serving armed forces as well ๐Ÿ‘… defying comfort zone ๐Ÿ˜œ)

Why should I silence my mind?(Meditative state)

Why should I silence my mind?(Meditative state)



Only a deep examination of 'mind' can reveal it's true nature ๐Ÿ™


Unless that nature of the mind is clear enough, no way to think of attempting to silence it consciously ๐Ÿ™ ( the very low rate of successful meditative state owes to this ๐Ÿ˜Œ..…. )


Accidentally, mind becomes still to everyone ๐Ÿ™. Its value goes unnoticed. Easy example is, mind is non_functional during deep sleep. The advantage is, we feel 'clear' bright and refreshed after waking up in the morning ๐Ÿ˜œ. 

By night, the brain is damn tired. Mind churns out stupid, disconnected scenes which we call dreams ( brain wakes up partially, when dreams are fearsome ๐Ÿคฃ. Oh!๐Ÿ˜ฅ, it was just a dream๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™, says the brain .... Otherwise mind is left to dream .  Science labels it as sub_conscious mind๐Ÿ™... Whereas, we don't need a label 'subconcious' for a brain, a physical organ.




Why should we silence the mind when awake????๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก

( I won't attempt to vocalise my answer๐Ÿ™... Try to find it out only if you are intense enough to know๐Ÿ˜œ....  Experience is enough to convince us)



Mind is a very powerful+ extremely useful tool ๐Ÿ™, only when tamed, harnessed



Mindfully yours,

Side effects of true friendship

 Side effects of true friendship 



Just a humorous note ๐Ÿ™

( Not a preachy stuff intended)


I used to stay alone in a small room in Maharashtra ( a small town) for 9 years.

Being a bachelor then, the infrastructure for cooking was bare minimum. 


Ironically, about 8 of my close friends ‘demand’  for a lunch, prepared by me. A very cumbersome task with just a small kerosene stove and two vessels ๐Ÿ˜“. Cook in installments, pour the dish onto a corner of a large plate, heaped, to have space for the next 3 installments!


Only one fellow ‘bothered’ to come an hour early, to help me๐Ÿ˜ฅ


The pleasure i derive lasts only for 15 minutes, watching them pounce upon the food to gobble it , whereas my labour is for 2½ hours preceding it ๐Ÿ˜“



I didn't mind the effort.


6 of them were very rich. Watching them ‘adjusting’ with gross inadequacies of space, cutlery, etc… so effortlessly was a source of amazement for me, afresh each time ๐Ÿ˜ณ


Once, they mocked at a fellow. I didn't know that he was so_fussy at his home while dining๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ฅ. They said “ look at this fellow! At home, he hurls a glass tumbler of water,  to pieces, if a water drop is seen sticking to the upper edge of its inner side, and here, he quietly pecks at food from a inside of pressure cooker’s lid, parking only ½ of his bottom on a shared steel chair, happily licking his fingers to swallow the last bit of food ๐Ÿ˜œ”( this guy is the youngest child with 5 sisters elder to him. Too pampered. 

I was amazed at the total contrast in him, when he eats in my room, thrice in every 2 months! 


Stubborn, rigid and resistance_filled fellow, displaying unusual flexibility, just to be a ‘part’ of a gang of friends, and to soak into the joyousness of an ambience of ‘unconditional togetherness’ !!!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ


These visuals served “in good stead” 15 years later, during a residential spiritual program ๐Ÿ˜œ…  i just had to ‘tap’ the innate+latent flexibility in me๐Ÿ™. The discipline of the structured program, could cause no ‘discomfort’ to me. I just looked at spiritual bijness as a ‘dear friend’ who can't afford a comfort zone ๐Ÿ™. His(spirituality personified) friendship is all that mattered for me ๐Ÿ™



Discomfortingly yours,

psn(7 june, 2026)
