Sometime price comes as a Surprise

Strange coincidences,
I started working this week and in my workplace i saw a painting
and for some reason i went to igoogle while getting bored and i see the same painting there and believe me or not it is an artists work "Bathers at Asnieres" Oil on canvas and the painting goes back to 1884 and is being sold for 87$ online.

Things have an impression on us when we know their price or sometimes price comes as a surprise !

Swatantrata Diwas

I got to celebrate Independence day here today along with some Indians. we had a small program with Flag hoisting, it was great to see Tiranga :)

Enjoyed singing National anthem along with other Desh bhakti songs ..

Missed my school days when i used to sing them every year

Missed school day and my country... my home ..

Oh when will it be just you and me ?

Here is a beautiful Amma bhajan, i listened it yesterday for the first time n fell in love with the lyrics and the tune.. just love it so much that i m posting it here..

When will it be Just You and Me ...

If i were a wave in the sea... I'll bathe your feet in my pure embrace

You and me .. Just you and me....You and me .. Just you and me

If i were the wind eternally free ..i could caress your face and comb your hair

You and me .. Just you and me....You and me .. Just you and me

If i were the sand warm and soft ...i'll be the bed in which you lie

You and me .. Just you and me....You and me .. Just you and me

If i were a bird up on your palm, i'll sing you a song of lost melody

You and me .. Just you and me....You and me .. Just you and me

If i were a rain and i fell in your cheek, will u brush me away or let me merge ?

You and me .. Just you and me...You and me .. Just you and me

If i were a wave in the sea... I'll bathe your feet in my pure embrace

You and me .. Just you and me....You and me .. Just you and me

But I am not a wave in the sea, nor am i wind eternally free...

Oh when will it be just you and me ?

Oh when will it be just you and me ?

Oh when will it be just you and me ?

But I am not a sand warm and soft, nor am I a bird up on your palm...

Oh when will it be just you and me ?

Oh when will it be just you and me ?

Oh when will it be just you and me ?

The choices we make ...

... lead the life we live ...

So lead us from darkness to light ...

Back from visiting Amma

Lombard Chicago Amma summer tour 30 june-2 july 2010..

Wonderful darshan, great experiences .. life filled with love just pure love :)

Thank you so much amma for being with us always !

Amma says

Remember O mind, this supreme Truth: Nobody is your own!

Because of doing meaningless actions, you are wandering in the ocean of this world. Remember this song, have satsang and always chant your mantra. Give up talking about others.

We find time for every useless and unnecessary thing, yet we say that there is no time to think of God. Do not go to vulgar movies or read novels. Are we not sitting in front of the television or going shopping for hours on end?

If you always fix your mind on the Lord, peace will be experienced.

Inspirational Do it anyway ! source unknown

Do It Anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and some true enemies.

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.

Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight.

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, people may be jealous.

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see in the final analysis it is between you and God.

It was never between you and them anyway.

Just got this sometime back in a fwd email and it sounds perfect to read at this moment and just perfect new post .....

wandering soul ...

many goals met.. soul still wanders and wanders and wanders .......

I know in my heart it is you ...

In the still of night
from the darkness comes the light

and i know in my heart it is you ....

In my heart in my soul
there is the glory for the lord

and i know in my heart it is you .....

When the truth is revealed
all the sorrows will be healed

and i know in my heart it is you ....


thanks for being with me ...my dearest amma ..

i feel your presence every day every minute and i know it is YOU..
and it is all because of YOU ...
