Land of Shiva

I live in the Land Of Lord Shiva, my Father Almighty YHWH
He looks over me and my land from the Himalayas
with love, strength and care
Even if in life I'd miss a step or two
I absolutely know HE's there
to carry any burden, heavy or light
that the world tries to load me with
and humble any wanton who belligerently
His own children dares !

Shiva

BRAHMA ! VISHNU ! SHIVA MY LORD !

 ALLAH ! ISHWAR ! ALMIGHTY GOD !

 Bless all children on The Earth,

 the People, the plants, the animals and birds !

To you, Jeff (My next life)

It's 2:15 am in the early morning hours and completely silent. No traffic sounds, or people. Everyone, Achachan, Amachi included are fast asleep. I was awakened from My sleep by My Father Almighty Lord Shiva YHWH, Thou, with a train of thoughts to be put down on paper and delivered to The Chosen Ones.

I ask - What Father ?

and He answers - Write Jeff !

What Father ?

Jeff, just write on ...,

first close Your eyes and listen in to Your thoughts, to My Words.

So I do so.

...and here is what I hear -

You Jeff, have come from The Lineage of Namboodaris and early Jewish Christains, for The Payyappillys (especially The Paravoor Lineage who accepted Christ Jesus into Your hearts and into Your fold through Jesus' own Disciple Thomas and Jewish Christain traders settled in Kerala in the first century of the first millenium AD long before the West got a Visitation from any Apostle and from My Holy Spirit) are a True Repository of My Graces. You span the Best and the Highest of both The Eastern Hindu India and The Western Jewish Christains. The Namboodaris are not an ordinary caste and Your status as such has not been a result of fits and jumps such as can be acquired by a few like it happened with Eklavya in The Epic Days of The Mahabharat. The Namboodari's status is One acquired by consistent and deligent work and devotion to The Holy Spirit through years of dedication by a whole lineage to this Divine pursuit ...

Now close Your eyes and listen in again, Jeff.

And Yes, Your own father has also walked the talk to the best of his ability. ... and You do too, as You write My Word now ... !

The Christian

THE CHRISTIAN - It really doesn't serve him in any way though. It's not really as if the Christian wants to convert others to his own faith. It's just that he wants to tell his fellow man that something very important and profound has happened on this Planet Earth some 2000 years ago, something so unprecedented that it deserves telling even at the cost of his own comfort or sometimes even at the cost of his own life. That's the crux of all the strifes that afflict the excited Christian who, when he himself really understands the importance and profoundness of that event and eventful Life, can't but shout for joy from the hilltop about his discovery. That's really hard on himself too.
How does one announce this Good News without being overzealously aggressive or even zealously aggressive and insensitive ? That's the issue. It takes time and patience to learn it. Sometimes immense patience and effort at self correction and empathy for there is 'as much if not more' to learn from others too - 'SAID HONESTLY! '

Tirath Sthan :)

Ab rahe do tirath sthan
Haridwar aur Hongkong.
New York ko to Washington kha gaya
aur hamara NRI bhai bhi vapas aagaya !!!

From the Ganges to the Hudson - The migrant's prayer 😃❤️

Holy dip in the Hudson river
May it wash my miseries and sins away
and please Lord, may the Dollar... the Dollar...
The Precious Dollar always hold sway !

On Irrational Exuberances, a tribute to The Maestro - Alan Greenspan :)

Salaam-alan-ko
Alan-ko-asalaam ! :D !

Bubbly Bubbly Bursty!
All come tumbling down.
Climbing up the ticker tape
then dive and hit the ground.
The bump that's showing on the chart
now on my head is found.
OOPS! Bubbly Bubbly Bursty!
All come tumbling down !!! :D !

Cradle of life

Up and down
rocks the cradle of life
How does it matter
what I do ?
Whether I lived
whether I died
whether I did
or I didn't do ?
Of no consequence
would be the same
I might have had fortune
or maybe just fame
but none does matter
in the ultimate game
for life seems so small
though my doings look tall
In the light of truth
they have no meaning at all
except to rock the cradle
and that's all.

Post script -

Is life really small ?
Are my doings really tall ?
Or do they just look tall ?
I think-
Rocking the cradle
can't be all !

Stories

Every person's
got a story to tell
If I tell you mine
You admire, I sell !

The Absolute

I came across the absolute
and there's nothing more to say

No need to be a guide to all
No need to show the way

for 2 + 2 = 4
from day to day to day.

Silence

In silence
 we have met
no word
 nor touch did say
everything that
 we felt
when only silence
 held it's sway.

My Father Almighty - The Word of Life - John 1, 10-14.

10 The Word was in the world, and though God made the world through him, yet the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to his own country, but his own people did not receive him. 12 Some however, did receive him and believed in him; so he gave them the right to become God's children. 13 They did not become God's children by natural means, that is, by being born as the children of a human father; God himself was their Father.
14 The Word became a human being and full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father's only Son.
