HERE COMES SPRING!

Sharing some Nature Photography in-between Ethnic wear, Temple Jewelry and Blue Pottery product photo shoot today.. Being with nature is such a stress buster. Hasn't it become rare these days that people stop to listen to the birds, feel the breeze, soak the sun and just be... ?

Ah! yes the ducks & swans also know how to enjoy on a bright sunny winter afternoon :)

"Steeped in mundane we miss the beauty of the Subtle. Time & again lift your eyes to the Ethereal. The world of Gods is just inches away. The challenges we face have a purpose. Events have a message. Confusion turns into Cosmic Infusion. Suddenly everything is meaningful."

RAVANA'S IN LAWS WERE MEXICAN?

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar told an interesting fact yesterday about Mandodari, who was Ravana's wife and queen of Sri Lanka.  On Dussehra eve, in satsang, Gurudev shared a very fascinating fact about Ravana's wife Mandodari that really made me wonder that even without wireless internet & mobile phone technology, people from different far away continents were so deeply connected. Mandodari was the queen consort of King Ravana in Sri Lanka. In North India, people celebrate Dussehra by burning huge effigies of King Ravana and his brothers Kumbhkaran and Vibhishana as a celebration of victory over evil.

Mandodari was the daughter of a king

Lord Dhanvantari is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. We get his first reference in Srimad Bhagwatam, where he emerges out of the churning of ocean milk by the devas and the asuras, holding a pot of ambrosia or nectar in his hands. He is one of the 14 jewels that emerged from the churning of the ocean. He is depicted as a handsome figure with four hands holding a pot of nectar, shankha, chakra and a leech. The story goes that both Devtas/Demigods and Asuras/Demons wanted to become immortal, but for that they needed to churn the ocean of milk. So they decided to come together and with the help of Lord Vishnu who incarnated as a tortoise, Mandara mountain which acted as the pole and Snake Vasuki as the rope, they start the churning process (sagara manthan). The churning of the ocean of milk can be compared to the spiritual endeavour of a person to attain self realisation. The churning of the ocean of milk first produced a deadly poison. (halahala) Nobody knew what to do with it and ult
