A masterpiece by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,  And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. -Robert Frost

Four Vedas - Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda & Atharva Veda

The Rig Veda: Also called “The Book of Mantra” The Rig Veda is a collection of inspired songs or hymns. It is one of the oldest book in any Indo-European language. It contains the earliest form of all Sanskrit mantras that date back to 1500 B.C. - 1000 B.C.  There are some scholars who feel that the Rig Veda dates back as early as 12000 BC - 4000 B.C. The Rig-Vedic collection (samhita) of mantras consists of 1,017 hymns (suktas), covering about 10,600 stanzas, divided into eight ‘astakas’ each having eight chapters (adhayayas), which are sub-divided into  various groups. The hymns are the work of great seers called ‘rishis’. There are seven primary seers identified:    1. Atri    2. Kanwa    3. Vashistha    4. Vishwamitra    5. Jamadagni    6. Gotama and    7. Bharadwaja It is a primary source of information on the Rig Vedic civilization. The Rig Veda accounts of the Rig-Vedic civilization’s social, religious, political and economic background in de

10 Things You Must Give Up (Part 2)

Cont......   6. You need to be right. Aim form success, but never give up your right to be wrong. Because when you do, you will also lose your ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. 7. Running from problems that should be fixed. Stop running! Face these issues, fix the problems, communicate, appreciate, forgive and LOVE the people in your life who deserve it. 8. Making excuses rather than decisions. Most long-term failures are the outcome of people who make excuses instead of decisions. 9. Overlooking the positive points in your life. What you see often depends entirely on what you’re looking for. You will have a hard time ever being happy if you aren’t thankful for the good things in your life right now. 10. Not appreciating the present moment. Too often we try to accomplish something big without realizing that the greatest part of life is made up of the little things.

10 Things You Must Give Up (Part 1)

T ribute to Stephen Covey 1. Letting the opinions of others to control your life. It’s not what other think, it’s what you think about yourself that counts. You have to do exactly what’s best for your life and not what’s best for everyone else. 2. The Shame of past failures. Your past does not equal to your future. All that matters is what you do right now. 3. Being indecisive about what you want. You will never leave where you are until you decide where you would rather be. Make a decision to figure out what you want, and then pursue it passionately. 4. Procrastinating on the goals that matter to you. There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they are, or accept the responsibility for changing them. The best time to plant tree is twenty years ago. The second  best time is now. 5. Choosing to do nothing. You don’t get to choose how you are going to die, or when. You can only decide how you are going to li

Last Words Of Greatest Saints

"When I was born, I was ignorant. So there was a little noise about my birth. Now that I have attained wisdom, there shall be no sound about my death". "Beware of me!" "I have known life, I have lived life, I know the taste of life. Now I am so curious about death! That's why I am in such a hurry. I am pulsating with great joy -- the very idea that now I am going to die, and I will be able to see what death is. I want to taste death. I have tasted everything else, only one thing has remained unknown. I have lived life and known all that life can give. This is the last gift of life, and I am really intrigued."  "I am not going to be worshiped." He wanted to die in the eternal snows of the Himalayas. He wanted that there should be no tomb, no temple, no statue of him. He did not want to leave any footprints behind him to be worshiped; those who love him should enter into their own being.
