Just question yourself and right in front of you dances the answer!! The most interesting thing is, we find the answer from a very unexpected source. It might be a fly, a flower, or any nonliving object, or most commonly and directly a person. One important thing is we should be ready to receive those answers. Recently I was wondering and accepted with my mind that “I never understand the “why” of anything. But slowly I realized – one should play till that end of the broken bridge, only then he can start knowing how to enjoy the play of getting to the other side. Deeply digging into one’s self is always good.. Then only the seeds can be sown deep and a strong-rooted plant can be grown. Finally enjoying the fruits of the result. Let me share a few interesting things… – while you are working on a very important thing without any break..then a small fly comes and starts playing around u… Just don’t get frustrated but try to observe and understand what is not directly explained. There u get the answer and your work might get easier, interesting too… – if you keenly observe, you find a few things very repeatedly and daily. If we make out a list of those things and try to work on them, eventually there lies a very interesting answer. Maybe this is one of the ways how few people practice intuition?? A small trail to share the first gear views of my life journey.. 😉
“Music” – who is not aware of this word? Right from a mother’s lullaby to a music maestro’s hum… Right from the sounds of rhythmic wind to the sounds of sprinkling rainy water…Any sound which is pleasing and rhythmic to hear is music!!
“Language” – In simple terms, it is a mode of expression of emotions, views, thoughts of all the living beings on the earth. It need not be only a verbal (spoken or written) form but can also be a nonverbal (sign language) form of expression.
“Universal Language” – One of the dictionary meanings of this term is Any kind of expression that is used and understood everywhere.
Everything in the world expresses in its own way. It depends on us to keenly observe, understand and perceive. Not only visual signs speak but also audio/sound signs speak. The horn of a vehicle, a school bell, the tick-tock of a clock …what not, everything speaks. The human mind can create wonders, no doubt!!
All the Nava rasa’s can be expressed through musical sounds. If we keenly observe the background music in any film or any visual program, the viewer first understands the situation in tune with the music… Might be for romance, comedy, fear, or happiness. The best example is the background score of news channels’ breaking news item :-p Not necessary to know the meanings of the dialogues!
Emotions can easily be expressed through music. Need not be a lyrical composition, just the play of musical notes that express emotions. In fact, it’s the strongest way to express. Thus music is set to tune with the lyrical expression and sometimes perfect lyrics set in the expression of tuned music.
I feel lyrics help in understanding and perceiving the true expression or emotion of a composer whereas in a nonlyrical composition, to some extent the true emotion can be perceived and on the other hand it entirely depends on the emotional status, perception, and imagination of the listener.
Thus I opine – Yes, Music is the Universal Language !!! The language of the World !!! The language of God !!!Unknown at 10:24
Close your eyes. Just imagine the bluish long neck, small face with tiny round eyes and sharp beak, having its colorful tail opened in a half-circle backdrop, with a beautiful body and thin legs dancing in happiness knowing that the clouds in the sky are going to sprinkle water on to the earth. Yes the beautiful Peacock, The National Bird of India, is really a lovely sight to see and imagine. It is closer to poets and artists than any other birds. It is said that the sight or imagination of a peacock rejuvenates self-esteem levels!! While feeling blank or blue any time, just imagine a peacock and it puts you in a proper mood and you’ll really feel high.
The name peacock is generalized in usage. But the male one is called Peafowl and the female is Peahen. The male bird is good-looking, found in blue and green colors, has a long glittering tail. We can see many eye-shaped designs on its feathers. They are in fact called as eyes on their tail. Whereas the female looks a bit ugly and dark grey in color. Peacocks prey on small plants, insects, snakes, etc. Peacock was given high importance spiritually in many cultures and religions. Mayura (Kannada) or nemali (Telugu) is associated with a number of Hindu Gods. It serves as a conveyance to Lord Kartikeya, Goddess Saraswati, and Goddess Kanya Kumari. We all are very familiar to see Lord Krishna beautifully depicted with a peacock feather on his crown.
It is also said that this bird is the possessor of the most admired human characteristics. It symbolizes Nobility, Royalty, Holiness, Guidance, Protection, Watchfulness, Glory, kindness, compassion, good luck, patience, Vision, Awakening, Refinement, Immortality… This graceful bird also has a great history in Asian, Greco – Roman, Babylonia, and Persian mythologies. The peacock feathers are said to be the bearers of good luck, fortune, love, and positive energies. The ash of peacock feathers is used for healing the ill health of humans related to respiratory and sexual weakness problems. One can see a peafowl dancing with its opened tail in anticipation of rain and to attract the peahen into courtship. These peahens are like those male partners who have a thick plumage.
Peacock is a sign of beauty (as it is beautiful) and knowledge (the hundred eyes on its feathers). With keen observation-only man acquires knowledge. So it shows Knowledge without love is lifeless. There is something to talk about this bird in Astronomy. In the southern hemisphere, the Astronomers recognized a group of stars forming in a peacock pattern. It was named Pavo (Peacock) Constellation. Spiritually, a peacock symbolizes rebirth and regeneration.
The Alchemists treat the view of this bird as a good omen in their spiritual growth. In the five-stage process of an alchemist’s spiritual growth, the peacock omen is the third, crucial, and turning point stage. It signifies the entrance into the inner experience of the astral world and the next level of consciousness. Mmm.. my work is done now, to show my gratitude for this great omen. So, it’s your turn now!! 🙂
The 7 concepts, one of the interesting concepts, I would like to explore on. Being born on the 7th, I have developed a deep interest in this number. It is indeed a very powerful number. There is a lot to know about this number. Starting with 7 musical notes (sa ri ga ma pa da ni), 7 colors of the rainbow (vibgyor), 7 chakras or energy centers in our spinal cord, 7 wonders of the world, 7 days in a week, 7 steps in Hindu marriage, 7 continents, 7 seas, 7 hills, 7 skies, 7 heavens,7 climes, 7 dwarves, 7 sins and many more. Even becoming 7 years old is considered to be a turning point in a child’s development.
We all know the importance of the spinal cord in the human body. This ‘7 in spinal’ article is just about a few well known interesting facts regarding the importance of 7 in our spinal cord
There are seven main chakras or energy centers and they are located along the spine extending out the front and back of the body. They are
1. Root Chakra / Muladhara – “Sa” – R (red)
2. Sacral Chakra / Svadhishtana. – “Ri” – O (orange)
3. Solar Plexus Chakra / Manipura – “Ga” – Y (Yellow)
4. Heart Chakra / Anahata – “Ma” – G (Green)
5. Throat Chakra / Visuddha – “Pa” – B (Blue)
6. Third eye Chakra / Agna – “Da” – I (Indigo)
7. Crown Chakra / Sahasrara – “Ni” – V (Violet)
These chakras are sacred centers and directly influence our physical and emotional life. These energy centers relate to seven energy fields. They are said to be balanced if they are vibrating at the required frequency- opened, bright and clean. When the chakra gets blocked, then it affects our physical and mental health. Scientifically and spiritually gaining knowledge about these chakras and then imagining the healthy spinning of these chakras through meditation will definitely help us in maintaining good and vibrant health… 🙂
“”””All those days watching from the windows All those years outside looking in All those times never even knowing Just how blind I’ve been Now I’m here, blinking in the starlight Now I’m here, suddenly I see Standing here, it’s oh so clear I’m where I’m meant to be……..
And at last, I see the light And it’s like the fog has lifted And at last, I see the light And it’s like the sky is new And it’s warm and real and bright And the world has somehow shifted All at once, everything looks different Now that I see you….”””””
Here I can see the clarity a person achieves in life when the dreams come true… Till then a little (but stronger) HOPE helps to move towards living his dream. Yes… I see the light… This little light of mine, am going to let it shine…
