Happiness or Contentment?

Through my travels in Bhutan, I conversed with the local people, especially the youth and was pleasantly surprised. They were all fully aware of the GNH (Gross National Happiness). I asked random people if they were happy, and I got great responses. I pressed a young college student if he desired a BMW? His response, ‘I am happy with the car I have. If I do well and buy a BMW, I will be happy too’ The Buddhist foundation of their culture was the key reason why the people were so grounded and happy, even the youth!

 

Allah and Om

Ustad Bismillah Khan purified his shehnai with Ganga jal and a maulvi said he saw Allah during Pandit Jasraj’s bhajan at a concert in Pakistan. Sunita Budhiraja looks at music as the Great Unifier.

It was about 10 years ago in Pakistan. Pandit Jasraj had been invited for a recital. As he was concluding the concert, some of his friends requested him to sing Om Namo Bhagvate Vasudevaya — the bhajan on the 108 names of Vishnu.

 

Sri Hanuman Jayanti in India

It is easy to travel in either direction from London fo important celebrations in our India or USA Ashram. I was fortunate to go to India to have GuruMaa’s darshan for Holi, and attend the grand function planned by the Trustee Board in India.

 

Why was Sri Hanumanji born in the form of a monkey?

There are many reasons. Ravana was given a boon by Brahma that any being, other than a human or animal, will not be able to kill him. To jump and fly over the ocean from India to Sri Lanka was not possible by a human being.

 

Sri Hanuman Jayanti

In my opinion, Sri Hanumanji was not an ordinary mortal being; He was Parbrahma Himself. Parbrahma cannot be bound by anything since by name and in form He is ‘Shunya’ i.e. He can appear in any form whenever He wants to.
