Hindustani classical music

Past few months, I have been taking a break from Sahaj music.  I felt there were too many things on my plate.  These are the activities on my agenda: Learn mandarin Finish cross stitch (x10) for my new room Move room, arrange, decorate, etc Prepare for registration of marriage Wedding planning The big bulk of to-do comes from wedding planning.  Besides working full-time and having to face the oncoming restructuring which complicates matter and having to deal with lots of red tape, I told myself, enough is enough.  Not putting anymore things on my plate. Recently my life have been very busy.  Mainly having to deal with other people and not my own things, accommodating to other people's needs and doing things for other people.   At first, I agree to do it.  I don't know how to say NO.  Then it began to weigh down on me and putting a burden in my day-to-day life that I felt paralysed for waiting for other people's decisions, instructions, w...

Discrimination

Yeah, the title is not that great.  Ever since I got matched to a Chinese guy from China, this word has been popping out a lot more frequent and I realised that we do have a lot of discrimination against a lot of people, whether we know it or not. I am a third generation of Chinese origin, born in Malaysia.  In another words, I am Chinese but a Malaysian.  Growing up in Malaysia, we mingled with other races a lot, especially the Malays and Indians.  Everyday in our life, in one way or another, we have to deal with them, whether it is paying to an Indian cashier or ordering from a Malay waiter or getting Chinese credit card sales rep bugging you, to us Malaysians, seeing another race is very common. We do have some racial differences which I feel we should all appreciate and understand each other's culture and tradition instead of discriminating. At my work, I have Indian and Malay colleagues, as well as Chinese colleagues.  We work together, share our differe...

Marriage is more important than Wedding

After blogging so much about wedding planning, it's time to emphasize that the marriage is more important than the wedding.  Some people have grand weddings, but ended up divorce.  So, to me I feel, what is most important is the Marriage, how both people learn to live together, how both people learn to ascent and work towards a successful marriage. I was a little tired from wedding planning, tired of being bothered by relatives and fed up of accommodating to people around me.   I find a Chinese wedding is more for show, more for relatives and for my parents, rather than for the newlyweds themselves.  To me, a Sahaj wedding is more important and is more meaningful.  Every single step, every single mantra has its significance.  It's such a beautiful and auspicious ceremony that it will bring tears to my eyes.  I love the mantra sang by the late Dr. Arun Apte at the beginning of the ceremony, where the brides and the grooms yet to meet each other, with ...

Love Should be Your Rule

I found this in an old email of mine.  Thought it's really a short but good article.  I don't know who wrote it.  It's so true and Shri Mataji always tell us to love. Love  Should Be  Your   Rule If there's a single word you should live  your  life by, it should be this:  Love . It might sound corny, I know … but trust me, there's no better rule  in life. Some would live by the  rule  of success. Their lives will be stressful, unhappy and shallow. Others would live by the  rule  of selfishness — putting their needs above those of others. They will live lonely lives, and will also be unhappy. Still others will live by the  rule  of righteousness — trying to show the right path, and admonishing anyone who doesn't live by that path. They are concerned with others, but in a negative way, and in the end will only have their own righteousness to live with, and that's a horrible companion. ...

I am not feeling too good

Too many things happened in a short time.  I guess it took a toll on my health.  I have been having low blood pressure and dizziness.  The dizziness comes and goes.  But each time I am dizzy, I am disorientated and blur.  I made mistakes, bump into furnitures, walked like crab and my mind is so messy.  It's been 2 weeks since I am like that.  Now I am getting worried that it might be something else that trigger the low blood pressure as I was fine all the while. My swadisthan, nabhi, heart and agnya is caught up.  I need to get back to discipline and get back into my Sahaj routine.  It's been weeks since I meditated properly.  So, now I am keeping record of what I am doing to recover from this.  If I have recovered from GERD  and plantar faciistis , I am sure I will recover from this soon. Tonight I did the 108 names of Shri Durga Mata because I could feel my left and right heart chakra very caught up.  After I di...

Today I decided to surrender to the Paramchaitanya

After so long, finally I have decided that enough is enough, I can't handle it anymore.  I want to surrender completely to the Paramchaitanya.  And guess what, everything worked!  I understand now!  Thank You very much.  Today, I am also very thankful to Shri Mataji for watching over us and save us from a terrible accident that could happened in a split second.   "...I hope that enthusiasm, that venturesome nature will vibrate your Pingala and, without feeling any ego about it, in the most humble manner as Hanumana was, will do the jobs. So much of dynamism and so much of humility - what a combination it was. And that's what you have to just manifest.The more you'll work, the more you'll assert yourself. You'll find that humility is the only thing that helps. Obedience is the only thing that helps to carry out your work and you'll become humbler and humbler. But if you think, "Oh, I am doing this" - then finished. But if you know that i...

Happy Birthday, Shri Mataji

On this auspicious day, I would like to say 'Thank You' for being there for me.  Thank You for giving me self-realisation, so that I can be in contact with You, anytime, anywhere.  Thank You for taking Your birth on earth, to give us Your love and vibrations.   Today we will be celebrating Your birth on earth.  Though this year is the first year Your birthday will be celebrated in the Nirakar form, anywhere in the world, but the birth of a beautiful Mother and Guru, on this earth, will forever be cherished and remembered. Although You have gone back to where you came from, thank You once again, for coming to earth. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHRI MATAJI!
