7 Ways to Achieve Inner Peace and prosperity in the New Year
By H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar


Happiness, peace and prosperity are wished for by every lip on New Year, but do we really know what peace means? Peace lies within us and we know it too. As we move beyond a year and enter new year, lets all take a resolution to become aware of this peace inside and allow our smiles to reflect the true sign of the prosperity that lies inside us. Here are seven ways to do it.


1. Give divine a chance, be grateful

This year, let the devotion flower to its fullest and give it a chance to work. Our love, faith & belief should be deep rooted, and then everything else moves on its own. The feeling that “I am blessed” can help you overcome any failure. Once you realise that you are blessed, then all the complaints & grumbling disappear, all the insecurities disappear & you become grateful, contented and peaceful.


2. Take out time for yourself

Everyday you are engaged in only gathering information and you do not take out time for yourself to think and reflect. Then you feel dull & tired. A few quiet moments are sources for creativity. Silence heals and rejuvenates and gives you depth and stability. Some time during the day, sit for a few minutes, get into the cave of your heart, eyes closed, and kick the world away like a ball. Taking out some time for yourself improves the quality of your life.


3. Know life’s impermanence

See the impermanence in this life. Millions of years have passed & millions will come and pass. Nothing is permanent. What is your life? It is not even a drop in the ocean.

Just open your eyes & ask; who am I? How am I on this planet? What is my lifetime? Awareness dawns & you will stop worrying about little things. All smallness will simply drop & you will be able to live every moment of your life. If you review the context of your life, the quality of your life improves.


4. Do random acts of kindness

Make a commitment to make this world a better place to live. Do some acts of kindness without expecting anything in return. Service alone can bring contentment in life. It creates a sense of belongingness. When you bring some relief to someone through selfless service, good vibrations come to you. When you show kindness, your true nature which is love & peace comes to play.


5. Make your smile cheaper

Every day, every morning, look at the mirror and give a good smile to yourself. Don't let your smile be snatched away by anybody! Usually, you give your anger freely and smile rarely as though a smile is costly. Make your smile cheaper and anger expensive! When you smile all the muscles in your face get relaxed. The nerves in your brain get relaxed and you become peaceful within. It gives you the confidence, courage & energy to move on in life.


6. Make meditation a part of life

When we have higher goals in life it leads to stress & restlessness which can only be released through a few minutes of meditation & introspection. Meditation gives you deep rest. Deeper you are able to rest, dynamic you will be in activity. What is meditation?

Mind without agitation is meditation.
Mind in the present moment is meditation.
Mind that has no hesitation, no anticipation is meditation.
Mind that comes back home to the source which is peace & joy is meditation.


7. Be a Student always

Know that you are a student forever. Do not underestimate anybody. Knowledge may come to you from any corner. Each occasion teaches you & each person teaches you. The world is your teacher. When you are always looking to learn, you will stop underestimating others. Humility will dawn in your life.


Wish you all a very Happy & peaceful New Year.
Warm Wishes and Love
Mayank.

A Collapsed Father and A Successful Son.

When my Father was successful, I was a kid, a kid with bare eyes to see the distance, for nothing, between us. When he started declining from the mounts of success, I was somewhere in the way, we were on same track but still far and away, the only thing he was struggling and I was enjoying with a sense of "real defeat" of my Father, but the real pleasure was to be with him still far but in the same path. After a certain time he collapsed and I rejoiced, I collapsed and again he collapsed but this time I cried.

Time passed and I started feeling the distance was growing more and more, as two unsuccessful people can't be friends as it's a law of nature “Opposites attract each other ". Friends, I wanted, desired, wished, prayed only to be Friends. As I always saw from last few years or my whole existing years he was alone beside the family but don't we need friends.
I was nothing, I am nothing only the dark shadow of my father, as he liked to be alone in all the journey of life, the same I am but I don't want to walk alone, I want him in my life, in each of my steps coz " He always needed a friend", He need someone who is not different from him, only Him, only Me, only Friend.
With the blessings of whom they really blessed me, I started walking "alone", Everybody was running beside me but few were dead, quite and some who collapsed like "My Father" without any pre intention but with a acceptance, a acceptance of defeat over victory, a acceptance of grief and closed eyes. I walked away as we were never close, so the distance didn't matter whether it s few or very far.
As today I'm sitting next to HIM, I want to walk away on a indefinite distance becoz like him I like to be alone but his hand is closely wrapped to my hand, his eyes changed from ordinary color, a dark red color is filled in his eyes, in tears, in a different language between a son and his father. He wasn’t collapsed at any moment in his life as the only thing he was helpless but suddenly he collapsed in the successful arms of his own son. He fought till the last breath and he was certainly aware where he can make him free, in his own shadow, in his little kid's presence, in his best friend's successful arms.

Very special thanks to my good friend who shared his own dilemma and conclusion, which he rejoiced in his own life.

Cheers

Blessed

For all the worst and all the best, Am I Blessed ?
My silence was long enough although it was not actually what it has to be, it was more of a chaotic painful strom which was under wraps and named as SILENCE. I started with a purpose, with a straight motive, to keep away myself with the most precious and joyous platform (my blog). My exams, My studies, My work and nothing else is always a great excuse for me to do nothing except doing everything which I HAVE TO DO ANYWAY. To realise this and to do things which i WANT to do is still a mystery for me..but it won't always.
I accept here I' m crazy to write, to click the present of mine in a frame of STRANGE AND UNDEFINED WORDS, but then i also Promised not to write on a single topic untill i get over from the RECENT DILLEMA which will take few more months. A promise By me, To Me, For me, going for a break not silence this time..for few months, for few reasons.
Time to go again.. with a smile, with a cheers in eyes and with a feeling of being Blessed.
Gonna Miss Everything.
Cheers!!

Celebrating Silence

After a long time, after a pinch of mistake, after a khalbali.. Its not worth to write anything that will not suit me anymore. So I am enjoying the pinch and in silence for sometime, Hope this Pinch will take me on a high sigh.Enjoying days and moments in sikar, I started my blog with a great enthu. and still i have but don’t want to write something for some time bcoz this blog is a long term proccess of redefining myself but just to refresh My Blog I am giving heading to this POST and adding it to my list.Enjoying the pinch of mistake, But what i can see is “My Mistake is Nowhere, His Grace is everywhere."

From a Father..to his Prince.

You are a prince in my heart,
And I care for you so much.
I looked at you when you were born,
And knew then straight away,
That I would be forever here,
To watch you grow and play,
You bring to me a heart of joy,
And memories so great and a powerful sense of
Fatherhood that no one can debate.
I watch you sleep and dream of things,
That I can only wonder.
That innocent look upon your face,
Just makes my heart grow founder.
I see you run and jump and shout and calling,
Out my name.
No love that I have ever known,
Could ever feel the same.
No suffering or tragedy nor deeply seated pain,
Could ever over shadow the bond,
That we retain.
And so my little PRINCE before,
You go to sleep----
Remember I am your PAPA and
I am yours to keep.

PRINCE Mayank
My Parents… My Strength.
