SwaDharma(my role)

 I wrote down a thought of mine to a few who still tolerate me despite what I am unto them 😜

Then I thought, 'who knows? Somebody at some future date might find a meaning in it 🙏... Anyway, its my own life experience, and not a fanciful idea seeking patronage for verbal embellishments or ornamental use of language "

Here it is.....

Swa Dharma

ये "सनातन धर्म"

का मेरे से ,

निजी/व्यक्तिगत रूप में कोई सीधा/direct संबंध नहीं है 😜🙏🙏🙏 

मैं खुद उसका एक परिणाम हूँ ( और ये तथ्य या उसके भीतर का तत्व, both are different 😜.... का अवबोध भी अनिवार्य नहीं है 🙂)

स्व_धर्म और उसके प्रकारों के अंतर्गत, मुझ पर लागू होने वाले धर्म का पालन करना ही पर्याप्त है।

विपक्ष दल के धर्म से अज्ञान, पप्पू को ही देखो 😜

उसके वक्तव्य+कर्म, सिर्फ और सिर्फ खुद का अस्तित्व बनाए रखने में ही व्यस्त है 😜 ( struggle to retain the relevance. PM is ignoring bulk of his ड्रामेबाजी)

बाल्य धर्म, युवा धर्म, गृहस्थ 'ashram' धर्म, वृद्धाश्रम धर्म ( पिता/पति/पत्नी/पुत्र/मित्र/बंधू/इत्यादि अनेक पात्रों का अपना विशेष धर्म है 🙏)

Identifying our own 'role' at each stage/situation of our life is not at all a part of our modern Syllabus 😂

When nobody is at the steering wheel, even a stone, which hits the side of a wheel, decides the twist in the direction of a vehicle rolling on its own. ( Problems decide our task/priorities on a day_to_day basis. Not our well defined role/Dharma 🙏😜).

"Who asked you for this lecture?"( I wish, my few recipients oblige me by copypasting this question, back unto me 😥....   Then, my own circle arround me gets better defined for me🙏)

A joke 🙏

The tradition of addressing people using each other's 'surname' was a 'tool' to empower the other to keep reminding me of my kulDharma( clan_duty unto the Society) .

Today, we find people shying away from using the surname. 😂

भाड़ में गया मेरा स्वधर्म 😡

Tail piece:

Once i found a non-presumptous manager as my boss. He never got irritated by any value addition from a non_entity like me( a clerk is a नाचीज़/nonEntity)

I kept my staff-file handy and asked him “sir, where in my appointment order is it written that I_need_to_work? “

He stared. I stretched the paper in that file to read+spot it( copy of my appointment order)

“I am appointed as a clerk at ₹xxx per month…bla_bla_bla…. Where is the mention that I have to “work”???”

He pleaded “please tell me”

Then i pointed to the clause “bound by rules and agreement, time to time updated between the management & workmen “ ( the agreement elaborated my BOUNDEN duties/dharma 😜 

His manager_dharma got updated 🙏

A funny incident: the class teacher of my son when he was in LKG, told her one evening (as my sister went to pick my son back home) : “Madam, i forgot my duty( Dharma). I was supposed to prepare at least one kid for a fancy dress competition in the evening today. There's one more hour time. Can you help”

Sister : 😳😳😳 at such short notice? I can try!

She pulled out my saffron dhoti, wrapped it around the kid asked him to chant a verse in Gita( he learnt it from my mom casually/playfully), holding a stick to look like Shankaracharya ( fancy dress costume, in a short cut). He chanted it smooth.

Sister, to my son : do it now before the microphone, looking up, the mike is taller than you… they may not tilt it to suit your height “

Kid nodded.

Just a “fill up the blanks” for that teacher.

But the judges were unanimous”first prize👍”( the kid had no idea what it_all_meant).

My sister to me : “thank God, i thought of a four_liner from gita, not the 1000 names of Vishnu 🙏😥. That kid keeps the trigger pressed till the magazine is emptied, whether i give him a pistol or a sten_gun !”

Beliefs versus experiential-knowledge

 Beliefs versus experiential-knowledge

I believe an electrician when he says “sir, you can safely touch that wire. It won't ‘shock’ you”

I touch. I get a shock 😥

I don't have any reason as_yet to disbelieve the electrican 🙏

His turn now👍

He inserts the tester_screwdriver into a live plughole. The tester doesn't glow 😜

Sheepishly he apologises: saaari saar( sorry sir,🙏) tester’s bulb is fused !

( “If a concept in irreligious_Hinduism fails to work, better check my premise”, i tolded/told myself 🙏)

A story i heard from my dad.

Centuries ago, when Christianity had just_invaded the shorees of Kerala….

An orthodox Namboothiri and a devout Father(a priest) grew up together as very close friends. Their religion never stood between their friendship ( unlike the ‘forced conversion’ tactics etc of today😓)

Both were aged, when the Namboothiri once got afflicted by a swelling in his legs. All kinds of native treatments failed to at least arrest the swelling . 

During a routine walk along the banks of a river near their dwellings, the Namboothiri asked his friend “hey friend….you also happen to know a bit of Ayurveda, isn't it? Can you suggest a remedy for this leg_swelling? Unable to walk comfortably with you_even, my dearest friend 😥”

Father : “ well, there's indeed a medicine, but it won't suit you, a strict vegetarian by religion 🙏😓”

Namboori : “okay, tell me what it is?”

Father : medicated fat of a snake 

Namboori: Shiva_Shiva!! Can't think of it 😳

Father: i told you, you won't agree to it 👍

Namboori: well, if not medicine, let me try my ‘faith’... Daily sandhyavandan in this river, standing waist_deep in water flow!

A few months later, the ailment got cured 😜

Namboori: see! My prayers worked. I am better now!

Father: Good 🙏… can we take a walk upstream, for a little distance, now that you are better and can walk easier?

Namboori: of course…let's walk👍

About a kilometre ahead, the father stopped.

Father, pointing to a huge pair of rock in the river : “friend, do you see the carcass of a huge python that got wedged between the rocks, and the water flowing over its partly decayed body?”

Namboori: i do see….what about it?

Father, smiling : the water contained the fat of that snake. You sipped thrice each time, each rituals for days, daily. I had suggested just a spoonful. But you consumed a larger dose, unawares 🙏. It seems to have worked 👍

( Forget about the emotional aftermath,🙏. Pause button for the rest of the story)

“Vataapi jeerno bhava( Mr vataapi, may you get digested)”... a dialogue from a puranic story.

A rishi was fed a goat_flesh, deceptively by the other twin brother of a rakshasa pair. The first one turns himself into a goat. The other makes a meal from the flesh of this ‘goat’ and feeds to passers_by in the forest. Soon after the Brahmin eats ( non_veg…please Note🙏), the living fellow calls out ‘vataapi, come out’. Then they both feast on the dead victim! A boon, that the pair got “death will be simultaneously only”. This rishi transcends the misused boon by using own spiritual powers,🙏. 

Shraadha ceremony in ancient days, the designated representative of the invoked_soul was fed meat+liquor ( as per stories). When the capacity to recover from the negatives of eating meat, drinking liquor deteriorated, the meat got replaced by ulud_vada, and liquor by honey🙏

I inferred from the above ( i may be wrong 🙏, but my guess-work…. works for me😜) : The entire Edifice of what is misconstrued as Hinduism today, is actually scientific. What is misconstrued as rigid_orthodoxy today, was actually a scientific concept, aimed for refining oneself for a specific purpose 🙏. 

I read in “Readers’ Digest” during 1960’s….neuroSurgeons abstain from “coffee” a week ahead of a brain_surgery, to ensure a steady pair of hands👍.  I took this clue and tried to ‘look' for a scientific reason behind those ‘seemingly stupid orthodoxic eccentricities’ . ( I coined a sentence for my personal use : any kind of self_refinement necessarily envisages some_kind of self imposed restriction 🙏…. Over years, this verbal form has turned into an instinctive non_verbal response within me 😜🙏).

My own gradual increase in sensitivity beyond sensory levels of perception happened to open the floodgates of insight into the ‘subtle' spiritual bijness/practices 😜🙏🙏🙏. I am constrained only_by the possible limited receptivity of the other, in sharing my experience 🙏

OpenMindedly yours,

Map drawing book

 Map drawing book

Some where in my 4 and 5 class in my school life, a subject “Geography” popped up 😜

My dad's purse got lightened a bit more, when i needed a note book for “map drawing”. ( A set of about 10 sheets of A-4 size…stitched ‘landscape’ mode 😂. Later version came with an inbuilt tracing paper, on which i ‘trace’ the contours of ‘phoren countries+ India) and transfer the impression to the white sheet for “drawing” the ‘map’ . If i colour and ‘mark’ the details well, i get 6/10. I was okay with even 4/10 🙏.

I look at desi scriptures similarly.

A map of spiritual bijness.

Either a guide, or a reference to know where i am. 

The sophistication in the scriptures are awesome 🙏. They function beyond the two basic features of guidance and reference, only for those who manage to ‘tap’ the human potential within with spiritual tools and practices 🙏

A cab driver ‘uses’ Google map to drive through heavy traffic, when it is A.I. enabled in ‘real' time 😓🙏🙏🙏

Scriptures needed to be synchronised with our genetic code ( using the latest technology  https://www.biocomputeinc.com/  )  seamlessly interwoven with quantum physics within us ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_fermion ) to….

Operationalize the chants in scriptures 🙏

( My experience: i was asked to chant a Maha mantra of 6 alphabets in Sanskrit non_stop, all my waking hours in a residential spiritual program 🙏. 4 days later a strange energy started dancing within me criss-cross! The teacher announced very impersonally “and you thought that this is just a STUPID-mantra? 😂”... I could relate his dialogue to my immediate preceding experience 🙏. I don't know about other co-participants there, in 1992. That damn thing still works, though I utter it very rarely, to mention it 😥🙏)

A map, yours,
psn( 2 Jul 2026)

Post script:

मेरा confidence level, after posting this blog can be easily described 😜

My son , when just into LKG class, drew a crude circle on a paper, and showed it to us saying "apple"( very confident about the shape)

My sister: " if you say_so, yes💪"( and to me :"our task in shaping up this kid starts here! Starting point". I smiled at her, undertaking a 20-year project for herself, in grooming that kid.

Not at all bad, i would say to her🙏)

More than I can ask for

 More than i can ask for

'वांच्या समाधिकम "

More than you are 'capable to ask for'( 4th verse of 'waves of beauty ')

1971.

A borrower_ticket to university library nagpur. 

They refused to part with an ancient volume"Original works of Shankaracharya ", translated from German 😜

No copies, if lost/misplaced. Brittle pages🙏😓

I was taken to the"chief librarian "

He : why do you want to read this book? A B.Com student, you are!"

Me: sir🙏. Precious information I am seeking. The best time to study B.Com syllabus is Brahma muhurat. This book might help me to find the significance of 4 to 6 am 🙏"

He: " looks interesting 🤔😃.... As a special case, you can glance through it in my next room. Even if I am not there, i will ask this assistant to provide you the book to read between 11 am and 4 pm only"

3+ months, it took to find the mention of 4 am to 6 am. 

But the efforts yielded "वांच्या समाधिकम "...😂

A funny incident.

Superfluously yours,

Supports to our life energies

 Supports to our life energies

Our life energy and its intensity decides the quality of our life.

We can improve it further only if we become adept at ‘directing’ our energies at will, CONSCIOUSLY and judiciously. ( The skill is broadly termed as ‘prana-yaama(roughly translated as “energy-taming”) .

Eastern ‘fighting’ skills continue to awe us😂. The experts practice meditation, more than the ‘muscle building’! That ought to convince us🙏

TriSandhya is a phenomenon in nature! It supports our perception by balancing our inner/innate energies 🙏

A person, place or thing which supports similarly, are consciously 'sought'. A 'balanced' mind is bound to function better.  Hence the traditional practices like spending a few moments of silence at any place/time which adds an external support. A householder begins with 'balancing' oneself! The functional aspect is standing/sitting for a couple of moments before a fotu, a lamp, ....a place of regular meditation, the shade of a tree in a temple, etc.... ( An example seemingly_exaggerated, is the belief of regular visitors to Sabarimala, using their black_coloured wornout bedsheet when a little sick, during other times of the year😜. It worked for many, and thus a 'belief'! But the urge is not strong enough to 'deduce' the subtle factor in the phenomenon 🙏)

With practice, of a few minutes of quietude during any "sandhya" .....

We should be able to notice the distinction, while sitting at any  place, naturally or consciously consecrated/temple!( Such 'energy' places are supportive to a person/life)

When quite a few notice it repeatedly, too often ( the scientific element of repetitiousness) that object, a stone there is treated as swayambhoo/jyotirLingam etc 😜...

Today's people visit such swayambhoo, using only a belief!( The capacity to 'feel' that energy is too feeble within to 'sense' 😓

I preferred to strive towards sourcing it right within, though an arduous task 😂 ,( its like carrying a torchlight, an oxygen bottle wherever I go 😜) and can be used whenever & wherever I need. ( The hero in the movie “enter the dragon” when suddenly trapped in an iron cage, squats crosslegged and meditates instead of pumping his blood pressure higher due to 🫪… he reorganises his innate energies, to rejuvenate, with nothing ‘else’ to be done on his_outside now!)

Pranically yours,

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/कवच) becomes subtler, the weapon turns harmless 😜😜😜😜

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 😜

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 🙏).

( 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 😂. A symbolic story, to evidence the “subtle Z category security cover, which those spiritually -evolved giants carried along 24/7, at Zero_cost 🙏😜)

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 😜🙏

A very small but significant difference in the ancients was, they devised the security cover into a cost_effective gadget/tool 🙏. ( 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 🙏. My own curiosity got satiated unwittingly, when i practiced a few spiritual tools for a higher purpose,🙏….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_clothes🙏).

Spirituality happens to touch every aspect of material life ALSO 🙏…..and in a Pronounced way😜🙏

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 🙏😂. The security is only from external threats. The stupidities i do inside me is my own responsibility 😥. It is still operative 👍

Promotion versus demotion

 Promotion versus demotion

😜

An odd creature i am 🙏

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

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 🙏.

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 😥. 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 only🙏

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

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

Disowning LY yours,
psn (30 June, 2026)

Curiosity & exploration

 Curiosity & exploration 

The subtle distinction between the 2 drivers.... 

Curiosity

Exploration 

....is easier noticeable in kids 🤣

( 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 🙏😭)

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 😔🙏

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 😜

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

But a joke is okay 👍…..

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 😂. One hour, he described the ‘subtle’ aspects 🙏. He paused.

I replied “ i saw the movie only ONCE 🙏”, 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 🙏”

And i proceeded with my version of what i saw😂…. 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 now👍”( 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.

Inquisitively yours,

Miracle men

 😂

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 🙏 

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 😓

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 😜. Such rare few seek_to_know the rahasya/secret of this ever_joyous guy. 

Miracles are those which eludes our grasp🙏

( 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 😜. Truth is, i lack the basic knowledge when a light refuses to switch on? Wiring, fused bulb or power trip? 🤔)

Human body is a miracle gadget🙏

It can be turned into a below_animal level of indulgence or can be turned to transcend nature🙏 ( personal choice......what i do with my body😓)

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

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

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

Somehow, I wasn't interested or attracted towards any super_powers, or the performers thereof 🙏....  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 🙏.  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) 😜...   Good enough 🙏 👍.   Thus, value_addition became a thing I ended up seeking after😜😂... It stayed and even stabilised my seeking to refine myself 🙏. 

Miraculously yours,
psn(28 June, 2026)

Reincarnation of Rama

 100% fiction 🙏

Assuming that Rama was indeed real(assumption is only to 'please' sceptics 😭)

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 😜

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 🙏)

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 😜 ( to the extent that we don't know what it really means🙄)

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 😭).

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 👍. Those few who wake up despite the negatives all around, will find their liberation too, clandestinely 😜"

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

Inconspicuously yours,
