Shraavan

श्रावण म्हणजे हिंदू महिना. आषाढानंन्तर येणारा.

श्रावण म्हंणजे, ऊन पावसाचा खेळ. अवचित गाठणारा पाऊस. पावसात भिजण्यासाठी "छत्री विसरले ", असा केलेला बहाणा.

श्रावण म्हणजे आई-बाबांसोबत पावसाळी सहल. मुंबई जवळचा हिरवा गार निसर्ग. हिरवा शालू ओढलेले डोंगर , वाहणारे झरे. आकाशातील इंद्रधनुष्य, उडणारे बगळे.

श्रावण म्हणजे शाळेतल्या पावसाच्या कविता. नवीन सौंदर्य दाखवणाऱ्या. कविता लिहिण्यासाठी उत्साह देणाऱ्या. तरल भावना जागवणाऱ्या 

श्रावण म्हणजे श्रावणी सोमवार. देवघरातील पूजा. देवळातील गर्दी. प्रसादाची वाटणी. गोडा- धोडाची  देवघेव. मोठ्यांचा  उपास आणि संघ्याकाळी लवकर जेवणं . अळुवडी , पुरी आणि पक्वानं .

श्रावण म्हणजे केवढे सगळे सुवास! पावसाने भिजलेल्या ओल्या मातीचा, अगरबत्तीचा, खमंग जेवणाचा. 

श्रावण म्हणजे मंगळागौर . रात्री जागरण. खेळ  आणि गप्पा. नटणं मुरडणं . साड्या आणि दागिने. 


श्रावण म्हणजे राखी . दादासाठी मिठाई बनवण्याचा नवशिका प्रयत्न. ओवाळणी आणि कौतुक. भावंडांची पुनर्भेट. 

आता श्रावण म्हणजे परदेशात येणाऱ्या आठवणी. इंटरनेट वर पाठवलेल्या शुभेछ्या . मुलांसाठी आणि स्वतःसाठी नव्या आठवणी निर्माण करण्याचा नवा प्रयत्न!

    Yes... Shravan has a very special significance..genius of this country's thinkers in terms of connecting humans with ecology is exemplified vividly in Shravan traditions. This indeed calls for revival again. Nice spot 😊

A lesson of a woman who is no one

 As a little girl, she always looked for a companion and safety in her family. She was very close to her mother and brother. They also loved her a lot and reciprocated all the feelings she showed. At times she got sad though because her mom seemed distant and busy in her own world. The girl understood that mom had her own problems to deal with and brother had to go his way to pursue his life's dreams and ambitions. The girl many times felt lonely, but she knew that she was loved by her family.  She soon found solace in friendship. She found many friends and a whole new world of opportunities to explore. As a teenager, she found her best friend. He was funny, always cared for her and loved her as if he was her brother. She felt happiness and a sense of belonging with him. They shared the deepest secrets, happiest moments and worst times together. She was surprised when he started feeling distant when he found his girlfriend. The teenager was happy for her friend but felt alone ...

Always Ask Questions

            I will always be grateful to my teacher For the advice that changed my life He told me to always ask questions for questions are rare and empty solutions are rife.   A question opens a door To limitless possibilities Possibility to understand and answer all the longings.   Without a question The teacher is not challenged Without a question A student will not be engaged   Asking a question Will resolve deep mysteries Who am I and what the world is about which has been existing since centuries.   What is my purpose Why do I exist The answer lies in a question If you really persist.   Try asking how I can help Instead of complaining To your surprise The answer might be fulfilling.   Do not forget to ask what the lesson is. When in a situation happy or sad An answer will teach a lesson The difficulties are not all bad.   Where is my attention? ...

And at the end I am yours

Where all the conflicts end And the duality dissolves  Where all the noise calms down The chaos rests in peace  At that serene place I am yours. All my demands sink  in the depth of your eyes All my complaints Disappear In the curves of your smile All my anxiety melts  In the embrace of your arms All my questions are silenced  When our lips are locked Good or bad  Nothing seems to matter Right or wrong  The questions do not bother Where my material identity ends It blends in yours At that beautiful place  I am all yours.
