🔥 Maa Durga Wallpaper Free Download - Full HD Wallpaper Photo & Images




Durga , universal mother of Hindus


Giver of strength, protection, courage


She is associated with destruction and wars

To celebrate  in honor of the divine feminine


Concludes with tenth day , Vijaydasami,   


 Victory of good over evil


Durga removes fear of Samsara


Giver of all  auspiciousness


Compssionate , full of  helpfulness


Bestower of Dharma ,Artha, and  Kama


She is Narayani, take refuge in Her


Your sufferings do disappear


Durga in  multi forms  you appear


Removes from us the elements fear


Durga when pleased with your devotion


Destroys  the rest of worldly diseases


If not satisfied , your aspirations and wishes


Remain as aspiration and wishes


Oh Goddess of three  worlds , I pray to you


Mitigate all our distraction


Your grace  destroys our inner enemies


So says Durga  Saptha  Sloki

MY WIFE

           MY  MY WIFE


In my life on any dark day


Your presence my side, sorrow melts away


In the shadow of your warm love


I feel safe and secure



My love for someone  special


My limited diction to her praise fail


She is the apple in my eyes


That propels my life



She is my sunshine in morning


She is my moonshine in night approaching


My great comfort provider all day


Words fail me in praising right way



She carries many of my burden that mine lessen


She never gets  many times , from me  thanks spoken


We have love for each other in heart


Never expressed with open heart



Back to our marriage day , I recollect


Seven vows we had taken  together 


Called sapta padi * before fire god


To observe all  through our life , with sincerity to God

MOTIVATE YOUR CHILD


MOTIVATE YOUR CHILD


Parents for their children,  full of aspiration


Need to drive their  children with motivation


To reach their goal of ambition


Step by step to  fruition


It is for you to inspire and influence


Not by arm twisting of child,  your action


Promote their internal motivation


By success stories , your  explanation


Easy way to prevent their resistance


As a parent have your values and principles


No play on computer, if he does not finish home work


See how magically it works


Explore and uncover your child and understand


His motivations and  sticking points


Understand him well with your observations


You will be able to help him in his short comings


Tell him the consequences of not doing


He will begin to appreciate and do the thing


Understand the strengths and weakness of the child


As a parent  strengthen his weakness and appreciate his strength


Pave ways to progress and inspire child to goals at length


Social interactions on digital media essential


Motivates and elevates to  difficult problem solving  likable


Problem solving tasks engages, entertains and success feeling thrills


Praise their  effort, aid them in short coming in problem solving that hurts


Be a warm, responsive and accepting parent


Certainly it will reflect in your child’s success in later years


Teach your child emotional regulation, set yourself as an  example


Allow the children to rule their emotions and decision making, guide them well


Never follow reward, punishment approach, but motivate them well


Authoritative parenting certainly has its rewards, children succeed well


Be scientific in approach, rewards will speak for itself

ARCHES

 ARCHES NATIONAL PARK



DOUBLE ARCH






Story  of Arches 65 million years old


A dry bed of ocean spreading horizon to horizon


You stand  and watch its beauty , red rocks standout


What we see today , a buried of thousand years back


An uncovered stand stones


Landscape story  slowly began to change


Geological forces wrinkled and folded


The buried sandstones , like folding of rug


Makes lump across the middle


Called  anti chimes


Sandstones warped


Fractures tore through it


Establishing patterns of rock sculpture


Devil’s garden, striking rock features


Carved over thousands of years


Arches formed as a result of erosion


Through weak spots of sandstone fins  of Jurasic  age Dewey  Bridge


Park has two hundred or so arches

Exit at Patric point StatePark, a camp site nice one


Agate beach,  two miles of solitude and splendour


Happy visit to a  site, for  a Nature lover

Reaching the shore after taking a flight of stairs


Relax and refreshed after ocean stare
