Hinduism world’s oldest and most diverse
From banks of Indus valley river
Hinduism a union of reason and intuition
With fuzzy edges ,non rigid Hinduism.

Hindus believe in incarnation
One absolute in multiple manifestations
Strong believers of cause and effect
Feel path of righteousness always correct.

Hinduism Sanatana dharma preacher
Meaning everlasting religion and culture
Derived from Vedas addressing all spheres
Spiritual ,scientific, medical seen in scriptures

Om an important symbol for Hindus
An alphabet in Sanskrit revered viewed
Signifying omnipresent god almighty
With no beginning , no end, on for eternity.

Drawing from infinite does not diminish
God infinite, drawn in ways does not perish
God is every where, with in and around us see Him
For humans to visualize monotheist in polytheism.

Life on earth governed by trimurthis
Brahma ,Vishnu, Shiva supreme three
Creator, preserver and destroyer respectively
Visualise god , no idol worship precisely.

Hinduism transcends all aids for worship
To help mortals visualize idol worship
God in the idol of your choice worship
Means for you to comprehend divine lordship.

Castes formed among people
Classify them as they fit well
Education and knowledge pursuit in Brahmins
Military and defense system in Kshtriyas

Economics and business system in Vaishyas
Happy productive work force in Sudras.


Four goals of life, purushartas in Hindus
Thre Pravatti, one Nivruthi
Dharma, kama, artha, the former pravatti
Moksha ,the latter, supreme in nature, Nivritti.

Dhrama righteousness, artha success in material life
Karma gratification of senses, meant to enjoy life
Pleasure, sensual, sexual, and mental enjoyment
Dharma righteousness in life certainly important

Artha success in economic and material prosperity
Moksha liberation from samsara, goal of all human beings

In Bhagavadgita Lord Krishna utters.
With love whatever one offers
With sinless mind , to them He appears
His Heavenly abode He offers.

For one who worships and serves Him
Concentrating and fixing mind on Him
Certainly will have no evil actions in them
With blessings he reaches His abode then.

Shristi and pralaya cycle periodic
Except the infinite , others conditioned by time specific.
Philosophy of karma and rebirths
We undergo cycles of birth and rebirth.

Good actions cause good effects
Bad action naturally bad effects.
Hinduism a way of life
Ultimately to reach Him every life

THOSE WERE THE DAYS

Those were the Days
Those were the days children
Never will you ever imagine
Well used to comforts of today
Days our your parents bygone days.

Mothers day begins with no gas to cook
Blowing the fire on logs of wood
Smoke more than fire,until it catches fire
Tears rolling down the eyes of hers.

No washing machine of these days
With drying feature in built to suit your ways
No emergency lamps to light up the house
Only candle power to cook or hand fans for air release.

No phones to talk to friends or relatives
No TV to watch and relax too
No cars of present days to travel
Tongas or bullock carts means to avail.

Call from neighboring city from relatives
Walk miles to receive to post offices
With wild thoughts hovering in mind
Until you resolve after talking relieved you find.

If abroad, Your brothers or sisters
You need weeks to exchange letters
No vonage or magic jack of today
To talk to them anytime rightaway.

Blessed are you children of today
Technology making life easy in many ways
Day a child is born, starts communicating
With cello phones ,gran first cry of baby

Aging and Memories

AGING AND MEMORIES
Memory you experience , fails you at times
Causing embarrassment in introducing persons by names
Not that you have developed Alzheimer’s disease
Simply a memory break down process you see.

Brain’s over all structure remains same
Or the number of nerve cells just the same
Connections between cells change as you learn
Synapses falter to to retrieve as we become older.

Causes for retention in memory declining
Unhealthy genes, exposed to poisons , or smoking or drinking
Worry not memory loss, dementia inevitable
With physical exercise, mental stimulation improvable.

Stimulating environmental conditions encourages growth of dendrites
While dull environment certainly impedes this all the while
Use your brain, avoid problems due to lack of use
Feel the effectiveness adopting this principle.

Crossword puzzles, word games, brain teasers
Physical activity, health diet and stress relievers
Make it a point to keep up good memory
Fruits of good memory obvious to thee.

Lack of rehearsal cause of memory decay
Experience followed by adverse experience leads to interference
Motivation remembers tasks to be completed than completed
Retrieval failure a cause of improper encode.

Organization of material in form to memory
Focus improves concentration to store and retrieve
Associations with place or task see Loci improving
Acronyms and chunky ways to improve recording.
