"Radha Naam Mein Kitni Shakti Hai" - Music Video

"Radha Naam Mein Kitni Shakti Hai" is a beautiful bhajan sung in the praise of Goddess Radhika Rani. Sri Radhika Rani is the greatest devotee of Lord Shri Krishna.

It is said that Sri Radha is herself the "Devotional energy" of Lord Shri Krishna who is the Lord of the universe. Her name always comes before the name of Lord Krishna that is why God's one name is "Radha Krishna" also. Just take out only one "R" from "Radha Krishna" & it becomes just "half Krishna" & that is the power of the name "Radha".

"Shyama" is another name of Shri Radha.

"Meri bhav badha haro, Radha nagari soey,
Ja tan ki jhaien parat, Shyam Harit duti hoey."

Hey, Goddess Shri Radha, You take care of my life of all troubles, Who's body shadow is enough to make Lord Krishna happy.

This bhajan is sung by "Shri Baldev Krishan" who generally accompany Shri Vinod Aggarwal Ji. Shri Baldev Krishan Ji too have a great devotion towards Shri Radha Krishna.

Jai Shri Radhe Krishna. I love this Bhajan the most.

Managing Stress

Stress is a very common word in our fast day to day life. In one's life everyone suffers from stress at some point or the other. Stress can be due to workplace pressures, tensions in relationships etc. etc. Stress normally disturbs our physical and mental health. Due to stress a person fails to respond appropriately to emotional or physical threats to the organism.

Common stress symptoms include irritability, muscular tension, inability to concentrate and a variety of physical reactions, such as headaches and accelerated heart beat. Otherwise stress can also cause backache, insomnia, fatigue, hypertension, eating disorder etc.

Now as per one report Stress makes people more superstitious:

Believe it or not, stress makes people “more superstitious”.

A new study has revealed that stress makes people not only believe in rituals but also in conspiracy theories and as a result, they are more likely to “see” things that actually do not exist.

However, volunteers who were made to feel more secure about their lives were less likely to fall back on conspiracy and superstition, the study found— the results of which are published in the Science’ journal.

So it is very clear that STRESS can create havoc with your life. So it is imperative that we need to be cool & calm in life. Stress needs to be avoided in all cases in life. Now how can a person remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances so that he/she never experiences any stress?

As per another article Be Calm like an Ocean :

The main reason why our mind remains disturbed is that we are not satisfied with our present state. If you have something, you are not happy with it. If you have your family, sons, daughters etc. then you may not have harmonious relations with them. If you have a particular amount of money with you, it seems less to you & you want more of it. Same is that, you have Greed for other things & don’t know how to enjoy the one’s you are already having.

To be peaceful at mind, the first & foremost thing is to be satisfied with what you have at present & try to make harmonious relations with the people all around you. Once you are able to do that then you shall find that you are better off & much peaceful.

So if we want to come out of stress then first of all we need to change our lifestyle. Other than following above advice, we need to learn some relaxation techniques such as meditation, doing deep breathing exercises, listening to soul soothing music etc. Having a long simple walk, doing some physical exercises, massaging the body can also help in reducing the stress.

Finally as per teachings of "Bhagwat Gita" we need to be happy with our present state of life & should not hanker after the material desires. We need to have faith in God & should do our own duty as while doing one's own duty only one can be happy.

Find your own Inner Strength

What is Inner Strength? Can we measure Inner Strength? Is Inner Strength a tangible substance? Is Inner Strength & Mental Strength one & the same thing?

Have you ever pondered over above questions? When we are in distress, depressed & sad; in all such times where from we find our inner strength so as to come out of all such negative symptoms? Is there any God on whom we can rely in all such times? If yes, then where God is & how He help us in all such troubled times?

Inner Strength is our Soul strength, Mental strength or Personal Strength which comes into action in our hard times to defeat all such negative symptoms of sadness, depression etc. in one's life. In hard times it helps in building our low esteem and loss of confidence. When we are passing through bad times, we have a feeling of self dejection & a feeling that we will not succeed in life. In all such times only, our Inner Strength comes into play.

Inner Strength is basically an exploration to find our original/authentic self. Now how we can peep into & explore our original inner self? Here is a great book "Bhagwat Gita" which is a reservoir of all such questions. "Bhagwat Gita" time & again tells us that we have a soul inside our human body & this soul has infinite potential. As this soul of ours is a spark of Infinite all powerful, all pervasive Universal Soul, so it's powers are also limit less. This soul present inside our human body, in fact gives strength to our mind to carry out all difficult tasks. Believing in oneself is nothing but believing in one's inner soul. All fountains of knowledge & strength come out of this inner soul only.

In Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Thirteen verse 18, God himself tells that He is situated in everyone’s heart & gives strength knowledge & guidance to every human being. So if we have faith in God, faith in our inner soul then we shall get all the power & Inner Strength to get out of all our adversities.

You really have to look inside yourself and find your own inner strength, and say, "I'm proud of what I am and who I am, and I'm just going to be myself."

Mariah Carey

How beautiful are the above words of "Mariah Carey" & how explicitly it tells us to look inside ourselves so that we can come in touch with our real self (soul) from where emerges all our Inner Strength. Be yourself & be proud of yourself, as your original self is part & parcel of the Universal Self (God) & with His grace you shall come out of all the adverse circumstances. So have devotion in God & it shall strengthen your mind to face all the challenges of Life.

Scientists say 'Faith in God can relieve pain'

God is a matter of faith & we all know that having faith in some supernatural, all powerful being called God helps all of us in matters of trouble. Even when our mind is agitated due to some reason or the other then a little prayer to God soothes our mind & helps us to come out of any trouble. Just listening to devotional music also soothes our mind. Not only that, devotees who have strong faith in God claim that due to their faith in God they have been rescued in life of all the miserable happenings. It is also confirmed in Bhagwat Gita by God himself that He protects his devotees always.

So now in our age when tension is so prevalent in one's life & mind is restless, let's pray a little in life daily so that we can have peaceful life.

Now even Scientists are saying that 'Faith in God can relieve pain'. So let's have deep faith in God & let's pray to Him regularly.

Here is another Blog post which tells us how to be Calm like an Ocean.

You, yourself are responsible for your Misdeeds

In this world there are many people who have a perverted thinking & they do not want to be responsible for their actions. Such people go on doing bad things in life, harming themselves & others in society, yet not feeling themselves responsible for their such actions. Either such people do not know at all how & why they are doing wrongful actions/misdeeds or they think that some invisible force is getting done all such sinful actions through them & many of them call such force as Satanic force, Devil force, Evil force etc. etc. In fact such people do not want to be responsible for their misdeeds & just want some excuse to put the blame on somebody else or on some invisible force.

All such thinking of such people is only perverse thinking which does harm only to such people. Sometimes such people even say that God is responsible for their such misdeeds & make God as responsible for their sinful deeds & quote the below words in support of their belief :

"I know what is right, yet I feel no urge for the practice of virtue, I know even that which is unrighteous; yet I am unable to recoil from it. I do as I am prompted to do by some unknown deity installed within my heart."

The above is the view point of bad people in society who do not want to take any blame for their misdeeds/sins due to ignorance & such view point of theirs is altogether worth dismissing.

Now here below is the right perspective with respect to the commission of sins as per "Bhagwat Gita".

In "Bhagwat Gita" Arjuna asks "Lord Krishna" the following question:

"arjuna uvacha
atha kena prayukto ’yam
papam charati purushah
anicchann api varsneya
balad iva niyojitah" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Three verse 36)

"Arjuna said: O Sri Krishna, by what is one impelled to sinful acts, even unwillingly, as if engaged by force?"

"sri-bhagavan uvacha
kama esa krodha esa
rajo-guna-samudbhavah
mahasano maha-papma
viddhy enam iha vairinam" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Three verse 37)

"Sri Krishna said: It is lust only, Arjuna, which is born of contact with the material mode of passion and later transformed into wrath, and which is the all-devouring sinful enemy of this world."

"dhumenavriyate vahnir
yathadarso malena cha
yatholbenavrto garbhas
tatha tenedam avrtam" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Three verse 38)

"Sri Krishna said: As fire is covered by smoke, as a mirror is covered by dust, or as the embryo is covered by the womb, the living entity is similarly covered by different degrees of this lust."

"avrtam jnanam etena
jnanino nitya-vairina
kama-rupena kaunteya
duspurenanalena cha" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Three verse 39)

"Sri Krishna said: Thus the wise living entity’s pure consciousness becomes covered by his eternal enemy in the form of lust, which is never satisfied and which burns like fire."

"tasmat tvam indriyany adau
niyamya bharatarsabha
papmanam prajahi hy enam
jnana-vijnana-nasanam" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Three verse 41)

"Sri Krishna said: Therefore, O Arjuna, in the very beginning curb this great symbol of sin (lust) by regulating the senses, and slay this destroyer of knowledge and self-realization."

"evam buddheh param buddhva
samstabhyatmanam atmana
jahi satrum maha-baho
kama-rupam durasadam" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Three verse 43)

"Sri Krishna said: Thus knowing oneself to be transcendental to the material senses, mind and intelligence, O Arjuna, one should steady the mind by deliberate spiritual intelligence and thus—by spiritual strength—conquer the lust which is the insatiable enemy."

From the above verses of "Bhagwat Gita" it is very clear that it is the individual's Lust & constant feeding of one's senses that a person commits sinful activities. Due to such involvement in lust, one's intelligence gets covered with ignorance, just like a mirror is covered by the dust & you are not able to see your face properly in it. When one's mind and intelligence becomes covered with the dust of lust & sensual activity, then his/her thinking becomes perverted & that person makes God or some invisible force as responsible for his/her sinful deeds, which is not correct. Let's be very clear that we all are responsible for our own deeds/misdeeds & in no case you can put blame of your deeds/misdeeds on any other person; human, divine or any other invisible force. Let's take responsibility for our own actions & let's not do anything which shall harm others in actions, words or deeds.

The real truth about "God Particle" & "Big Bang"

On 10/09/2008 an "Atom-Smasher" experiment started underground along the Swiss-French border to recreate the Big Bang. It is thought that it can unveil the puzzle & the eternal question, "How we all came into being?" As per one theory, only 4-5% of the universe's content is matter and 25% of it is invisible dark matter. As high as 75% of the universe consists of dark energy about which very little is known. The atom-smasher experiment could help scientists solve some of the above said unsolved queries. This European underground experiment is trying to recreate conditions that existed immediately after the Big Bang.

"God particle": Dubbed the "God particle" by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman, the "Higgs boson" is a controversial theoretical particle believed to bestow mass on all other particles. Higgs boson, or "God particle" is understood theoretically to be the basis of all matter as well anti-matter and dark matter. It is only a theoretical particle not yet observed.

"All world scientists hope to unlock the secrets about the atom, the universe and its origin with collisions of highly charged photons in the "Large Hadron Collider", located 150 meters underneath near Geneva, Switzerland. The Large Hadron Collidor is an experiment which will continue over the next 15 years, to replicate a miniature “Big Bang” that created the Universe.

Neutrons and protons are the best known particles. Scientists hope to discover new particles—Higgs-Bosons, also termed ‘God Particles’ , which they theorize are responsible for mass of atoms. The particles are named after Kolkata-born Satyendra Nath Bose (1894-1974 ) and UK-born Peter Higgs, both eminent physicists. The LHC is the largest and the most costliest experiment in the world ever at over $9 billion.

In one controversy 'God particle' theorist Peter Higgs has attacked his Nobel prize rival Stephen Hawking, describing his work as "not good enough". Professor Hawking once placed a $100 bet that the 'God particle' does not exist. However, Scientists believe the 'God particle' is crucial to understanding the origin of mass. Shortly after the big bang, it is thought many particles weighed nothing, but became heavy later on.

MY VIEWS: As per me, all the above said is only in the realm of theories of particle physics & till date there is no evidence of 'God particle' or "Higgs boson". Now I shall try to present my perspective whose basis is in the realm of philosophy. For me Great Indian book "Bhagwat Gita" is the greatest of philosophical book which answers all your queries from how this universe was created or how one should lead one's life or what is the truth of life & death. "Bhagwat Gita" answers all your queries. Now here I shall try to explain the truth about "God Particle" & "Big Bang".

As per "Bhagwat Gita" God has created this universe out of "Zero" or nothing. Sometimes God himself is also called "Zero" as Vedas tell us that "In the beginning was "Zero" or nothing & out of nothing or un-manifest aspect of God, came everything." Before the universe came into being, God in His "Zero" or un-manifest aspect was there & then He willed to create this universe. That "Zero" substance to which our Vedas call "God" is the source of Consciousness as well as Un-Conscious matter. He is also the source of Mind & Intellect. From this Zero aspect of God, on His will, He created two energies, one was called lower energy & other was called higher energy.

It is to be understood that it is only due to the WILL of GOD that whole creation takes place out of "ZERO". God in His un-manifest aspect just willed & hence the energies required to form this universe sprang out of "Zero" or "Nothing" or "God". Now it is these energies that are the focus of particle physics scientists. These scientists need to know that "God cannot be distilled in test tubes in laboratories" nor "God can come out of 'Atom-Smasher' experiment that has been started underground along the Swiss-French border to recreate the Big Bang. Pl. note that "Big Bang" started with the Will of God & also guided by His Super Intelligence. By just God's willing, Material Energy came into being which in turn created this vast infinite Space & later on out of Space came out the Air, Fire, Water & Earth. Unless until we consider & have faith in God with all His powers & His super Intelligence, we cannot appreciate the reality & truth about Big Bang.

As per "Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Seven verse 4,5,6" :

"Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego—all together these eight constitute God's lower (insentient) nature or energy. Other than this there is another, superior or higher energy of God by which whole world is sustained & is in the form of "Life principle" energy or spiritual energy . All created beings (animate or inanimate) have their source in these two natures or energies.

Now out of the above above two energies, "Life principle" energy or Spiritual energy or also called Soul, is the one which is Un-manifest & cannot be externalized in any case. Though it is everlasting, present everywhere within the space, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same but still it cannot be Manifested or externalized.

But the other energy (lower one) can be externalized & has externalized the "Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space, Mind, Intelligence and also the Ego principle". This energy in it's initial & original form is called "Nature Principle" or even "Om". This "Nature Principle" in it's initial & original form is Un-manifest only & all these "Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space, Mind, Intelligence and also the Ego principle" that came out of it are only metamorphic forms of one another. This "Nature Principle" is the invisible divine power, the only doer, the sole causative & activating force that upholds all creation through vibration. "Nature Principle" or Om or the Word is the creative vibration that externalizes all creation. Now though "Nature Principle" is invisible power lying within the every atom of the universe, energizing & giving life to every atom of the matter; it is so subtle that it cannot be Manifested in such a form that it is captured by the "Large Hadron Collidor" in an experiment in Laboratory. We need to understand that such divine energies lying within the every atom of creation, cannot be manifested by such destructive experiments of "Atom-Smasher". I am of the view that though "God particle" exists in nature which bestow mass on all other particles but due to it's Un-manifest nature it cannot be seen with any machine. It is so subtle that it is beyond the view of any microscope or machine.

It is also called that God is a matter of faith & not of Intellect. The truth of God which lies within every atom of the creation, can be known by faith in HIM & by reading the philosophical books like "Vedas", "Upanishads", "Bhagwat Gita" etc. If someone really wants to experience such forces in nature & our creation, then that person needs to practice meditation & learn those techniques through which great Indian Yogis tuned their minds to Divinity & knew all those truths about God & Nature.

Below are verses of Bhagwat Gita which relate to creation of the universe & God:

"avyaktad vyaktayah sarvah
prabhavanty ahar-agame
ratry-agame praliyante
tatraivavyakta-samjnake" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Eight verse 18)

"Sri Krishna said: At the beginning of Brahma’s day, all living entities become manifest from the un-manifest state, and thereafter, when the night falls, they are merged into the un-manifest again."

"bhuta-gramah sa evayam
bhutva bhutva praliyate
ratry-agame ’vasah partha
prabhavaty ahar-agame" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Eight verse 19)

"Sri Krishna said: Again and again, when Brahma’s day arrives, all living entities come into being, and with the arrival of Brahma’s night they are helplessly annihilated."

maya tatam idam sarvam
jagad avyakta-murtina
mat-sthani sarva-bhutani
na chaham tesv avasthitah (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Nine verse 4)

"Sri Krishna said: By Me, in My un-manifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them."

"avyaktadini bhutani
vyakta-madhyani bharata
avyakta-nidhanany eva
tatra ka paridevana" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse 28)

"Sri Krishna said: All created beings are un-manifest in their beginning, manifest in their interim state, and un-manifest again when annihilated. So what need is there for lamentation?"

"yad aditya-gatam tejo
jagad bhasayate ’khilam
yac chandramasi yac chagnau
tat tejo viddhi mamakam" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Fifteen verse 12)

"Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, The splendor of the sun, which dissipates the darkness of this whole world, comes from Me. And the splendor of the moon and the splendor of fire are also from Me."

"gama-vishya cha bhutani
dharayamy aham ojasa
pusnami chausadhih sarvah
somo bhutva rasatmakah" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Fifteen verse 13)

"Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, And entering the earth, it is I who sustain all beings by My power; & becoming the nectarean moon, I nourish all plants."

"aham vaisvanaro bhutva
praninam deham asritah
pranapana-samayuktah
pachamy annam chatur-vidham" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Fifteen verse 14)

"Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, I am the fire of digestion in the bodies of all living entities, and I join with the air of life, outgoing and incoming, to digest the four kinds of foodstuff."

"sarvasya chaham hridi sannivisto
mattah smritir jnanam apohanam cha
vedais cha sarvair aham eva vedyo
vedanta-krd veda-vid eva chaham" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Fifteen verse 15)

"Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, I am seated in everyone’s heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas, I am to be known. Indeed, I am the compiler of Vedanta, and I am the knower of the Vedas."

Nothing is Yours

Once there was a rich man named "Richie". He was so rich that he had a big walled house. In that house there were big gardens in which all types of fruit laden trees were there. It was having it's own golf course inside the walled house premises. There was an area in which 12 number of cars were parked. Among these cars, 3 cars were of vintage era. Remaining 9 were of modern era, used by two of his young sons & by his one teen daughter. His wife too was a simple homely lady caring for all the family members. Sons were fond of horses too, so they had a stud farm nearby their car parking within the walled house only.

This walled covering of the house was having 4 entrance gates - each in one direction, east, west, north & south. All the gates were manned by 3 security guards, 3 each on one gate. In this vast area they had a palatial palace like living area in which there were 18 big rooms in which whole family used to live happily. There were servant quarters in which 21servants used to live, in which were cooks, drivers & others who used to look after this family.

"Richie" was very happy with his family as all his children were very loving & used to care about him very much. So was his wife, simple, caring & devoted to her family. "Richie" was enjoying the bliss of life, rather happy family life.

One day "Richie" was roaming alone in one of his garden & there was nobody other than him over there. Yes, there were birds chirping in the garden & it was giving a pleasant sound to his ears. He was enjoying the casual stroll in the garden, just by himself. Just while when he was staring at a beautiful small bird on the branch of a palm tree, he was stunned to see a dark bluish-black person of heavy built in front of him. He was wearing strange type of clothing & was fully laden with gold ornaments. He had a golden heavy crown too on his forehead. "Richie" was really filled with fear seeing that person in his garden. He was wondering how come this dark bluish-black person came inside his house when there were so many guards keeping vigil of the whole area at the entrance gates. At last "Richie" came to his natural self & asked that person.

"Richie" : Who are you?

The stranger replied, I am "Kaal".

"Richie" : Who "Kaal"? This is a strange name, I have never heard of this name.

"Kaal" : Meaning of my name is "Time". Kaal & Time are one & the same thing. People call me Time also.

"Richie" : "Kaal", "Time"................ I am not able to understand anything. How come you are able to enter my house? Who allowed you to enter inside my house?

"Kaal" : Your house!!!!!!!........."Kaal" laughs..........who said it's your house!!!!!!!!!!

"Richie" : Yes, of course, this is my house. This whole vast property is registered in my name, you can check with local city office too............all this property is mine, I am the owner of whole of this property.

"Kaal" : Ha, ha ha.................it is really amusing that you say that all this belongs to you. In fact, it does not belong to you.

"Richie" : What the hell are you talking?

"Kaal" : Yes, I am telling you the truth............this property & all these cars etc. are not yours.

"Richie" : This time you have really become mad that you are talking this nonsense to me.

(Richie calls his wife, sons & daughter.......all come nearby him & all are frightened to see this dark bluish-black person inside their premises)

"Richie" to "Kaal" : See, here are my sons, daughter & my wife. All are witness to that I am the owner of this vast property.

"Kaal......Again laughing..............Ha, ha ha.......these people are not your sons, daughter & your wife.........so how come they become witness to that you are the owner of this vast property.

"Richie" : This time you have really, really become mad.

**A great argument ensues between the two & Richie becomes too angry & calls his security guards. No one seems to be responding to his calls. Richie's voice gets louder & louder but no one among his guards seems to be responding. His face becomes too red with anger, he is shouting & screaming. During all this, he gets a severe pain in his heart & fells down on the ground. All his sons, daughter & wife rush to him but........it's unfortunate.........he is not breathing, his pulse has stopped & he is lying dead on the floor.

Richie's soul has left the body & is standing just near his body. "Kaal / Time" is still there in the garden. "Kaal" has all the powers to talk to the souls as He is the "Almighty Time", God himself.

"Kaal to Richie's soul" : Yes, "Richie", now tell me, who are you?

"Richie's soul" : How come have I come out of this body & why this body of mine is lying on the floor?

"Kaal" : You are dead & you have left this body, that's why you are seeing yourself as separate than this body.

"Richie's soul" : I am not able to touch my near & dear one's, not able to talk to them anymore.

"Kaal" : Yes, once dead, you can't do all this, as all these activities can be done with your physical body only & that is dead now. Now all these relations ceases for you. All this ownership of property was only while you were in that physical body, in which everyone used to recognize you. Living human beings cannot see the souls. For them you are dead & does not exist anymore. Now tell me, are you still owner of all this vast property.

"Richie's soul" : No, now when I do not belong to this physical form & physical world, how can all this be mine. When I can't communicate with anyone in this physical world, then how can I own anything of this world. Man falsely believes while living in his physical body that all this property etc. is his own.

"Kaal" : What about your sons, daughter & wife? Do you still feel the same about them?

"Richie's soul" : Yes, my love for them is same, but as I am not able to communicate with them, I am feeling different. I am also seeing that they have considered my body to be myself & as my body is lying dead on the floor, so they are feeling that I am really dead. Yes, all relatives are yours only once you are in the physical body. At the death of the physical body they too believe that their relative is dead & so dead is their relation with him.

Kaal" : Yes, you are absolutely right, Nothing of this World is Yours, neither property, nor relatives. All these seem to be yours, only once you are in this physical body. Once you (human soul) leave this physical body...................."Nothing is Yours".

***ABOUT KAAL: As per Bhagwat Gita, God declares in "Chapter Eleven verse 32" that He himself is Kaal (Time), the destroyer of the world. Purpose of Kaal (Time) is to destroy all people except his devotees. Below is Verse 32 of Chapter Eleven of "Bhagwat Gita" explaining "Kaal" :

"sri-bhagavan uvacha:
kalo ’asmi loka-ksaya-krt pravrddho
lokan samahartum iha pravrttah
rte ’pi tvam na bhavisyanti sarve
ye ’vasthitah pratyanikesu yodhah" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Eleven verse 32)

"Sri Krishna said: I am the inflamed Kaal (Time), the great destroyer of the worlds. My purpose here is to destroy all these people. With the exception of you [the Pandavas - his devotees], all the soldiers here on both sides will be slain."
