Just Like the River..!


Just like the river, I should flow carrying everything that floats on me. To never stop and keep running like a bliss. Only if I keep moving forward, nothing can stop me, not even the tallest of mountains and the deepest of the abyss.  
Just like the river, I should move forward and never turn back. Helping everyone on the way, prospering every life I can. Only if I look ahead, past won't matter, as I have a long way to go till I end in the ocean of splatter. 

It might take the biggest of bridges to cross me over, but I never stop. If I stop, the dirt will consume me, polluting every inch of my soul and every drop.  Just like the river, I should help everything I can. Giving away everything I can. 
I will be pure only if I move forward, overcoming every dirt and pain of others, individual or a clan. I should flow even after falling hard from the mountains of failure. But that is only possible if I can be like a river.

I turn, I bend, I fall, I rise. I can reflect the far away skies. I shape according to the path I am given.  Follow the way wherever I am driven. Still, the best things I can deliver. Only if I can be like a river. 
Somewhere I am praised like a god, and somewhere as a useful resource  Only when I try to quit moving, I will definitely end in a pit full of self discourse. 

Sometimes I should move silently but peacefully, so when someone tries to hear me, they feel the harmony in my movement. I should not be differentiated with colors.
I can be mixed with white, I am green in the jungles, blue in the wide sky, and saffron in the evening light. I can choose any appearance I want. 

Only when I get too much of myself, I flood and eradicate everything I see. There will be barriers in the way to show me what has become of me. The ones who will erode shall curse me with an inexplicable fate. But whence I realise the havoc, it will be too late. So instead of taking everything in the way, I shall be a giver, but that is only possible if I try to become like a river.

The Difference Between Asura, Daitya, Rakshasa and Pisach.

One of the primary gods of Hinduism, Shiva, The first Yogi, never discriminates between good and bad, Suras and Asuras, and also in humans. That is one of the reasons he is also known as 'Bholenath', The Innocent one. The Vedas have taught humans to be good even to the wrong ones, as any Human, God, or Devil can change. It always has been the lack of knowledge to cause the mistakes leading to evil thoughts and deeds. The only way to deal with other's mentality is to educate with the right things without hurting the physical body, and that is one of the primary objectives of Dharma.    Not everyone is blessed with the Intelligence and not every Intellectual is selfless. And as it is said, Lack of brain activity makes a home for evil. Psychologically, that's correct. Always the people with less knowledge were sacrificed for the namesake of religion, borders, and greed. Life can be the one-time opportunity in the universe full of possibilities, one should not waste it on

Who are Asuras?

   Asuras, popularly known as the opposites of Gods or the Suras, are often misunderstood for a power-seeking class and tend to be evil. As per some Indian texts, Daksha, son of Bramha, married his daughters, Diti and Aditi to sage Kashyap. To keep the life cycle running, Aditi asked Kashyapa for children and was blessed. Hence the children were called Adityas. Jealous by these, Diti asked Kashyapa for the same blessing and was blessed and borns were known as Daityas. As Diti had the emotions of Greed, Lust, and Jealousy in her mind while the wish was granted, the children were born with the same traits and hence brought those emotions in the world. In the Brahmanda Purana, it is stated the term 'Asura' was used for the Daitya s due to their rejection of Varuni (Goddess of Wine) after she emerged from the Ocean of Milk. So, all we know here is the devas and asuras are blood relatives fighting for the peace of lands.  A British Sanskrit professor, Monier-Williams, tracks the et

Kshipra: Son of Wilderness!

In a small village nestled deep within a lush forest, there lived a young man named Kshipra. Kshipra was known for his ascetic lifestyle, his deep connection with nature, and his unique ability to understand the language of plants. From a tender age, Kshipra exhibited a remarkable affinity for plants. He could sense their emotions, hear their whispers in the wind, and understand the messages they conveyed through subtle gestures. This extraordinary gift fascinated the villagers, who sought his guidance and healing remedies for their ailing crops and gardens. Kshipra had chosen to live a simple life in a modest hut at the edge of the village. He dedicated his days to tending to his small garden, cultivating a diverse array of plants, and deepening his understanding of their secrets. Through meditation and introspection, he honed his ability to connect with the natural world. One day, news spread throughout the village of a severe drought that threatened their livelihoods. Th
