         Maa , Mother : the most precious, pious word across the World

*************
**********************

                                           

                                                         The utterance of the very word "Maa" - the Mother - makes us feel protected from any danger ; builds up a great wall of added security shield. "Maa" fills the body with lots of love and affection ; trances the mind with pure ,pious, positive thoughts and ecstasies joyfulness  ; imbibes the spirit with complete devotion, peaceful prosperities. 

When we face any danger ,  suddenly n spontaneously  - we utter the word Maa to protect us. And , Lo! the divine hidden power of Mother protect us n our imminent danger situations swept away . You must have experienced such situations in your day to day  life. Isn't it ? So , in the event of any imminent danger situation , the powerful word ''Maa" crop up to our minds instantly and  protect us from the dangerous situations.

Friends !  We have read the puranic stories on the affections n attachments , deep love n likings of Maa Parvati for Ganesh ; the instant vigilant care n nourishment of Maa Yashoda for the little master Krushna ; Maa Sita's love for her twin off springs Luv n Kusha   and so on .

In every faith - Mother has been given the highest regards , the upper most echelon. Mother has been revered, respected ,regarded ,worshipped, praised . In our Hindu faith , we respect the mother as the living Goddess - the divine entity. In Nepal ,''Mata Tirtha Aunshi" , i.e.  Mother Pilgrimage Fortnight has been observed every year on Vaishakh  Amavasya . Buddhist communities observe  ''Ullambana" to pay homage to the mother community. The Quran teaches that children  should give priority to love their Mothers. In Churches , the Christians pray Mother Virgin Mary and so on .

Adi Shankaracharya had has tremendous love n regards to the Mother community . At some instances , a father may be rude ; a  brother may deceive ; a son may betray  - but a Mother can  never ever become bad or evil to her off springs.

We in India too pay respect to the women spiritual masters like Sri Maa,  Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Amma), Jaya Kishori Devi , Mother Teresa ... 

We celebrate the Mother's Day on every 2nd Sunday of May each year . The American activist  Anna Jarvis has been regarded as the founder of  Mother's Day in USA. At her initiatives , the first official Mother's Day was celebrated on the 10th May ,1908 in Grafton, West Virginia.

Friends ! Mother is the epitome , store house of all the good qualities , virtues created by the Almighty . She represents hard work, labor, toil , patience, compassion, kindness , humbleness , empathetic, sympathetic , loyalty , loving n caring , affection n attachment , a rare sense of belongingness for the off springs, and other family members too.

Words can not completely narrate the many facets of the Mother ; yet in parts n parcels -  we submit herewith the English rendering of a Sanskrit verse - eulogizing the virtues of a Mother .

" A charming face , a heart full of compassion , whose speech is like Amrut ( nectar ) and who always extends a helping hand to the needy...such a motherly person is always the most revered one. "

Yes, Friends! My mother Hemalata Devi succumbed to death on the operation theatre , while treatments were going on to cure her cancer ailments in the MKCG Medical Hospital n College , Berhampur , Ganjam , Odisha on 30 June 1978. That was the most unfortunate day in our family lives. I felt that everything was lost.  I was a living corpse. There were big vacuums all around . The book written by Swami Sivananda - '' The Life after Death " solaced my  soul ; As times passed by - I learnt to live again - remembering the love , care , affection , good teachings of my Mother , when she was alive . 

Now , Friends! Am going to tell you on an immortal MAA SONG ,  I came across on 29 Nov. 2016 - while scrolling You Tube videos . That immortal song was : " Puja hai Tujhko Pujenge Hardum ..." The lyrics was by the famous singer performer Devyani Karve Kothari ; sponsored by late Ratanben Mohanlalji Mehta of Desuri of Puna . And the Singer was Vicky D Parekh ...

 (You can watch the video on https://youtu.be / 6TAdgBvpc9c )

Friends ! I was so greatly impressed by this song on "Mother" that on the very day  of  29th Nov.2016 , I forwarded the video to my thousands of friends , relatives ,colleagues n strangers too. The superb song was well sung with lilting music by the great in born devotional singer Vicky . I would give millions of Stars Likings n Rankings to the composer , singer n the team for presenting us - such an immortal, ever green , unforgettable, meaningful, devotional master piece song on Mother. Everyday , I  start my day , by listening to this song - remembering my Mother and the Divine Mothers too. I feel the very presence of my departed Mother by my side, whenever I murmur  the song in my mind ,listen to or watch the video.

 Friends! I have been immensely impressed n moved by the  Mother Stories , Melodious Devotional Music n Songs... I wish all of us pay respect to our Mothers , our rich Indian culture on Mother Worships , Bhajan Songs that steer our souls , give strengths to us and pacify our minds with soothing, scintillating ,serene musical notes...

TODAY'S THOUGHT : WHAT IS LIFE ?

                          TODAY'S THOUGHT : WHAT IS LIFE ?

                 Today's Date : 07March ,2022 ;23 Dwijaa Mesa ,Panchami Tithi

***********************************************************************************

Hi!! Friends - What is Life ?

This really a very very broad question to ponder upon n answer. Isn't it ?

You may term it : A million Dollar Question !!!

Scientifically , we can define Life ,"The condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth , reproduction ,functional activity ,and continual change preceding Death ". The simplest definition to describe Life in few words is : The period between the Birth and Death of a living being . We may put it simply : Life is the existence of an human being or animal or plant -flora n fauna. In more elaborate words ,we may describe Life  as the aspect of existence that processes, acts , reacts ,evaluates and evolves through Growth...and so on.....

                                      

The meaning of Life can be described  in three words ; those are : Intelligence , Usefulness & Responsibility. The meaning of Life is to find YOUR meaning. What an splendid explanation indeed!!!

Mahatma Gandhi has rightly remarked :

                                        

The quality of Life depends upon the individuals activities , contribution to the Nation or Society. This does not not merely depend upon the Life span. Swami Vivekananda lived for only 39 years ; but he is still alive in our memories for his practical ,brave, courageous ,roaring Sayings , which aroused our Nation internationally- across the Globe. Similarly , the life span of Adi Sankaracharya was too short. But his divine works, deeds, preachings ,teachings aroused the whole nation . The words of our Gopabandhu Das that a man does not live in years, months ,days or moments...but a man lives by his good deeds. Please ponder over the great sayings of these illustrious masters...

Yes, Friends - when we say she or he lived " in full life " - we understand that she or he lived  life with  duty, dedication to works n deeds wholeheartedly in a very intelligent way. We may term this as the Art of Living. The lives of great men has indeed impressed n influenced our society in a very big way.

Now , Friends - we may conclude by putting the following Landmark Lines on Life :

LIFE is a Dream for the WISE ,

LIFE is a Game for the FOOL,

LIFE is a Comedy for the Rich,

LIFE is a Tragedy for the Poor...

Now, Friends it's our turn : how to live our lives ? Live Life King size!!!

                                            

                                   

In my humble opinion - Life is your work ,deed ,assigned duties , dedication for the society -where we live in...

Hence , Work as a Laborer ; Enjoy like a Princely Entrepreneur... 

LIVE Life with Love & Laugh...

                              ABCDE to Check Control Corona Virus
                                                **********

 Friends...It is very saddening, sorrowful, harrowing, horrific to note that the world has been grilling, griming under the worst wrath of the dreaded disease Corona Virus.
Now, the increasing trend of this Killer Corona is very much felt in our populous country India.
The severity & seriousness of the Corona super spreading can easily be confirmed from the fact that more than one Crore people have been affected by the Corona Virus in the world on yesterday. Now,more than Five lac people have been affected by the Corona Virus in India.
Government of India & our State Govt. are taking immediate steps to check, control the
spreading of Corona Virus Pandemic.
Health experts have cautioned that the coming months of July n August 2020 - will be the most sensitive, severe months for spreading of Corona Virus, during the monsoon season. It will be the peak stage for transmission of the Corona Virus.
Hence, we have to follow all the Corona related Govt. Guidelines , Lock down, Shutdown directives - very scrupulously to save the lives and livelihoods of people from the clutches of Corona with utmost
patience and prudence.
Friends, we again felt it necessary to make ourselves aware and act against the invisible enemy Corona unitedly.
Here, we elucidate the ABCDE to Check , Control Corona Virus .

                                                 ( Mask a Must to Wear on Outings)

*A. Awareness : Awareness in manifolds must be created in the Society to control the Corona Virus Pandemic.
What is Corona Virus ? Corona disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a SARS - Cov -2 type Virus.
SARS stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.Previously, people have already affected by a more severe virus -MERS , which is known as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome.
COVID-19 disease may range from common cold to more severe ailments in the respiratory system, causing death to the affected person. Aged people who have high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetics -
are more vulnerable to this Corona Virus, due to lack of a sound Immunity system.
Hence, now one has to keep one's immunity system strong & sound to ward off the Corona Virus . The precaution measures are : Stay Home , Stay Safe ; in case of any essential outings, one has to - wear a Mask, observe Physical Distancing, frequent Hand Washing with an alcoholic based sanitizer, put on Gloves etc.
Awareness makes one self alert & leads to take Action against the Corona Virus. At the very first, You have to be the Corona Warrior and help other Corona Warriors in the ongoing Viral War to curb the Corona Virus Pandemic.
This war must start from You, then in your family, Society,State and Country - to check, control & eradicate Corona Virus from our
Nation.

                                             ( Frequent Hand Washing Help )

*B. Begin: Begin your day with practicing Yoga or any health fitness activities. Tone up your body ,so as to maintain your immunity system strong and sound from the invisible invasion of Corona Virus.
Please take luke warm water at regular intervals, eat hot healthy food & exercise regularly  to boost up immunity.

*C. Check : Check, control your daily routine and keep a strict vigil on your Health and Lifestyle to combat with Corona Virus and to keep the Corona at Bay.

*D. Do it Yourself : Do it Yourself - all the preventive measures for tackling with Corona Virus, as a responsible citizen. If You check it for yourself,  You can do it too for your family, Work Place, Locality, Society , State and Country - as a whole.

*E. Educate : Educate, update your know-hows on Corona Virus ; Govt. Guidelines there to - so that you can take the required steps on Corona.

Friends, if you check & control Corona for yourself, then in your family and locality , there will be no Cluster Spreading . If we can check mate Cluster Spreading, there will be no Community Spreading of Corona Virus. Similarly, if we strongly control Corona at Cluster or Community level - these will surely help our Country to curb the super spreading speed of Corona Virus.

We conclude this Blog on Corona with a caution that : Prepare for the worst -
with high hopes that : Hope for the Best...
Corona will be wiped out...
India Wins...India Wins...
