It has passed three months since I started - on 15.08.2015, (Independence Day) - sharing spiritual matters, some from scriptures and some from direct experience by divine revelation. To be frank enough right in the beginning I had taken a decision, not to turn back for my shadow following which might hinder my satisfactory pace in spiritual realisation with the head held high towards Blissful Being, revelling in the thought of seeking well being of other noble souls on this earth. Hence, my only request to my readers is to forgive and forget, if the opinions expressed by me are not at all acceptable, on account of readers having knowledge from their better gurus. As matured seekers the readers shall have the noble quality of forbearance of my writings, particularly about non acceptable propositions, if any, of mine.
I shall tell you one example, when I too remained in humble acceptance of the things as they are happening around us. I happened to see in the net that the original name of Taj Mahal was 'Tejo Mahalaya', a Siva Temple, with all proofs locked up in a cellar room, with court decision, against opening it. And when I went through the 'The Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahamsa Yogananda, I read that he mentioned it as Samadhi (mausoleum) on his visit to Agra. Then, of course this happened a few years back, I got a doubt that he being Paramahamsa why he did not reveal the truth behind Taj Mahal to the world. Perhaps, I realize now that, it might be due to his thought of not disturbing the hornet's nest, affecting the prevalent religious harmony in India. So, I left that matter then and there only. The present recollection was due to mentioning of his name in the previous post about 'Paramahamsa' (Supreme Swan).
Recently, I opened two more blogs:- 'Arenar Songs' (arenarsongs.blogspot.in) and 'arenart'
(rnr-art.blogspot.in). The reasons for taking this step must be explained by me in all honesty. Though initially I opined that frequent mentioning of Annmayya and his spiritual works would affect inter continental readership following the scribblings. But the continued overwhelming response to my spiritual exposing is encouraging me to open up and share more information available with me.
I have good number of 'tatva' based (spiritual knowledge) and devotional songs, of course in telugu.
My request to the non- telugu readers is to enjoy the spiritual text in priority and also observe discerningly the Sound of the 'Consciousness within' originating from the navel making this human body a medium (a tool) to reach you all, since language is never a barrier for the melody arising on account of 'total surrender'. In corroboration of this point, I refer to you my school days' poem "The Solitary Reaper" by William Wordsworth. Stepping in to his shoes, just like him you would ask me, "Will no one tell me what she sings?" (in country folk dialect). Be enthralled by listening mine too......
"O listen! for the Vale profound
Is overflowing with the sound.
'Whatever the theme the Maiden sang
As if her song could have no ending.
'The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more."............
When the poet, William Wordsworth enjoyed the high land lass's song - melodious but in unintelligible language, hope you will too relish with a noble heart, my devout voice.
One more thing about the songs. I have noted at the outset in the blog that a star mark " * " is placed before some interesting songs for 'please don't miss' listening. Here some may feel that when my 'profile' is clear about my transcending the tastes and smells, likes and dislike of the mundane by positively declaring - Nil, why the asterisk (star) consciousness? This exercise was mooted only to facilitate you in selecting from many many hundreds of songs in the offing very soon. But for me, every bit of this creation is manifestation of Supreme Consciousness only!
'Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought' (P B Shelley) ! True in my case too! To come out from the melancholic gloom of my better half's demise, my son suggested me to hold a painting brush (painting is known for concentration) for alleviation of the heavy heart by diversion. So, I
was blessed with creativity in challengingly attempting for famous Ravivarma Themes. So, I thought to share with you now, those 'colourful' adventures in my new blog on paintings exclusively.The painting activity has really done a good thing for me by mental relaxation and some good output in hues that withstand the test of time on the walls. Right now, instead of 'The Solitary Reaper' painting enjoy the amusing vivid painting of my better half in the role (local dress) of a "Tea Leaf Picking Lass" in the Tea gardens of Darjeeling, India, in October 1993.
So, I hope ardently that, the new two blogs serve you, all inter continental noble souls, my 'art and voice' beyond language bariers; considering these two by you, as my acts of "divine persuit"!
