Finally writing the 1st blog at my
home:)
Never thought that I will be writing
like this about a year before.It is always a good feeling to write
something.The best part here is that we can track the way things are shaping up
for us;)
Coming back to home has always been
great,but coming after a span of more than a year is a pure de-javu.
So much has happened over the past
one year but this period has been a real delight with some failures and
obstacles but the overall feeling has been "jolly" with some of the
finest moments coming in small packages.Writing it all in this post may deviate
me from writing the essence of this post,so I am back to the topic
"Heart,Mind and Soul".
After almost a year,I got an
opportunity to visit the great Varanasi Ghats.
I was thinking what is there so
special about these Ghats or the holy river Ganges.
But once you are at the Ghats,you
will soon realize a transformation in your heart,mind and soul.
According to the Hindu
Mythology,these ghats are regarded as the place to liberate soul from human
body to ultimate.It can somewhat complement the concept of divinity and they
are believed to absolve one from all sins.I guess this is the reason why they
attract so many fickle minds like mine,towards them.
So finally I reached there today.The
time was almost 7 in evening.It was already dark and a mild feminine
breeze was blowing at the background and it was time for the famous Ganga Aarti
at the foreground.The chorus sound of Aarti was ruminating and soon it will take
you into a different world.Your waves may match with the waves of your soul and
"Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle" can be practically
proved at this instant;)
In my opinion,the best way to enjoy
this Aarti is to go to some Ghats a little away from all the crowd where you
can get the peace of mind and mild Aarti can be heard.This can be the best
place to enjoy the mild breeze at the bank of holy Ganges.This is a
little ethereal experience,which is difficult to explain in itself:)
After spending some time,you may
forget the very existence of your body and the existence of
two separate entities as "mind" and "soul" will
be realized soon.Sometime I do think,what is the ultimate aim of our
life.Frankly speaking,after spending sometime at Ghat's may act as an
elixir for a person in doubt.
You may not get answers to your
doubts but at least you will get a good feeling that may be temporal but it
will appease your mind:)
So plan your next outing on a
lovely evening at the Varanasi Ghats ,with someone whom you trust and get some
divine help in the state of your confusion.
I know that again I am
sounding hopelessly optimistic on the Varanasi Ghats,which are loosing their
sheen everyday but the key point here is that,being optimistic has its own
hang-over that is difficult to replicate by other means:):)
