Divine Mother's Day Celebration (Cabella Italy, 2007) with HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation. Shri Mataji traveled the World for forty years giving freely the experience of Self Realization - Kundalini Awakening (Union with the Divine Power of Love) to everyone who sincerely asked in their heart. THE GREAT MOTHER. The story of Shri Mataji & Sahaja Yoga www.youtube.com (video) www.youtube.com (The Mother Calls!) MOTHER IS LOVE! Mother´s Day in Cabella 2007 was truly a day in heaven on earth. Sahaja Yogis from all over the World arrived especially for the occasion of Mother´s day, to express their love and gratitude for what Shri Mataji, with Her never ending compassion, has been giving us. Representatives of all the countries present in Cabella were able to offer flowers and gifts to Shri Mataji. (Also large groups from Bologna, Milano, Torino, Ravenna, Piemonte and Rome, as well as the Italian Yuva Shakti) Shri Mataji blessed every person and every country who came before Her, so that we could feel the rays of Her love flooding into our hearts. Shri Mataji seemed especially touched by a massive cake (it had to be brought in on a table!), made by the ladies of the castle, which She ceremoniously cut and vibrated for everyone. It was not easy to leave Shri Mataji´s living room, where She and most respected Sir CP received us. But we were overwhelmed with bliss, when Shri Mataji asked us to sing bhajans for Her in the lounge next door. Thank ...

They say the government's broke But in California alone, $300 million were spent on coastal littler clean-up And my beaches are still swimming in debris What if we all did our part Didn't toss that water bottle Why waste our tax dollars on a problem we created? They say the economy is faltering But American retailers spent $4 billion on plastic bags last year What if we followed the examples of Bangladesh and Rwanda And banned these baggies? The money saved could be the best stimulus package ever implemented They say America is the land of opportunity But when 92% of Americans older than six test positive for BPAs What opportunities do their futures hold? The opportunity to have an increased risk of heart disease and diabetes if their BPA exposure is particularly high They say the earth is in crisis But it's time to recognize that the crisis affects us all Our government Our economy Our children The earth is our mother, when she falls ill we all suffer The plastic plague has sent her to her sickbed When we heal our planet, we will heal ourselves.

Heres a virtual movie of the great Walt Whitman reading his exquisite inspirational poem "Miracles" from his lifelong masterpiece "Leaves of Grass" first published around 1900 that gave vent to every thought this great man and thinker had on all aspects of life as he saw it.. This poem is a celebration of the small things in life that we all take for granted.Things as simple as a walk through the streets of our city or town particularly when in later life as Whitman was when he wrote tthis poem in old age and being able to walk anywhere was both a struggle and something to be celebrated for as long as it was still possible or our taking time to observe an insect in flight these are the realy important miracles. "The best things in Life are free", is the message of this poem i that real miracles are right in front of us every minute of every day, and something we really we can savour if we would only stop for a minute to realize it, . Walter Whitman (May 31, 1819 -- March 26, 1892) was an American poet, essayist, journalist, and humanist. He was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse.[1] His work was very controversial in its time, particularly his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for its overt sexuality. Born on Long Island, Whitman worked as a journalist, a teacher, a ...
The song I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day from The Simon Sisters sing for Children. Carly and Lucy's beautiful album is now available as "Carly and Lucy Simon sing Songs for Children". I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day is a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men. And thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along the unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men. Till ringing, singing on its way The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, a chant sublime Of peace on earth, good will to men. And in despair I bowed my head "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men." Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail With peace on earth, good will to men."

Narasimha, the half-man/half-lion appeared in the Satya Yuga. The Man-Lion Incarnation is the fourth incarnation of Vishnu. When the demon Hiranyakashipu acquired a boon from Brahma, which gave him inordinate power, Lord Vishnu appeared in the form of half-man/half-lion, having a human-like torso and a lower body, but with a lion-like face and claws. Hiranyakashipu could not be killed by human, deva or animal, Narasimha is neither one of these, as he is a form of Vishnu incarnate as a part-human, part animal. He comes upon Hiranyakashipu at twilight (when it is neither day nor night) on the threshold of a courtyard (neither indoors nor out), and puts the demon on his thighs (neither earth nor space). Using his sharp nails (neither animate nor inanimate) as weapons, he disembowels and kills the demon. *source wikipedia

Wake up and smell the devastation, political leaders in DC. I wrote this and performed it at the Global Warming Education Network's Citizen's Climate Congress in DC on Earth Day 2010.
When I look at our planet, on TV, in magazines, in newspaper's, or on the web; when I see families who have lost everything they have, I am filled with dread; when I hear that the most powerful countries are spinning our world out of control; when I read that there may come a day when there will be no ice at the North pole; when I watch an incredible, insightful, invaluable, film like 'The Age of Stupid', that is when I shake my head in disgust at the reality that cannot be hid: that we, the vaunted Human race, may be the architects and the enablers of our own species' fall from grace. The Earth, our planet, the eden from where all life came into being, is burning, changing, and at this rate may one day need quarantining. The reason? We need only look out our window, or turn on our television: we are changing the world, more so than we could ever possibly imagine. It didn't just happen yesterday, and the solution will not happen overnight; but if we all do not start taking climate change seriously we will suffer a blight: we, the self-proclaimed "most intelligent species", will one day cease to exist; we, "the dominant race", will one day be number one on the endangered species list. I am staggered that it has taken the world this long to realise the truth; however, I am not supprised that the clarion call is being made by the youth- because, after all, the children of today may be the last of human-kind; and the facts do speak for themselves to anyone of sound reason and ...

Here is my consideration of a brief poem of waiting in a hospital emergency room. Poem by Peter Menkin (2000) The man from the Veteran's Hospital was late, and the baby cried happily. Two children wore the doctor's bandages in the waiting room. Earlier at evening tide there was a quiet conference in the education center. The man who tip toes through the tulips was pulling his car to the main door of Marin General when I arrived. The beep, the bio feedback, the numbers 106 over, 95 over, oxygen 96. The heart is monitored by machines, the ticking clock sweeps from the hours through Evening Prayer, and the long explanation of conversation with God in a description begins. Our Father, who, art in Heaven where the Lord lives. Hallowed is a joy to us in song and in the Majesty of golden walls. Be thy name, a mystery unspeakable, a land and a place oh joy of hymn. Thy kingdom, a tree where we abide and sing, along the branches like those whose life is tended, as the lily is beautiful so we are without anxiety in your Kingdom where there is clothing that we neither work nor labor and Come. Thy will, your will be done. Me in thee and thee in me. On earth as it is in heaven, the cherubim and the archangels sing a constant hymn of song in worship and adoration in this holy spirit that yours is. Give us this day, to begin and say this is the day the lord has made, let us be glad in it. our daily bread to eat as a manna from heaven a promise of which we are not worthy, oh, I have ...

WH Auden — September 1, 1939 (read by Dylan Thomas) I sit in one of the dives On Fifty-second Street Uncertain and afraid As the clever hopes expire Of a low dishonest decade: Waves of anger and fear Circulate over the bright And darkened lands of the earth, Obsessing our private lives; The unmentionable odour of death Offends the September night. Accurate scholarship can Unearth the whole offence From Luther until now That has driven a culture mad, Find what occurred at Linz, What huge imago made A psychopathic god: I and the public know What all schoolchildren learn, Those to whom evil is done Do evil in return. Exiled Thucydides knew All that a speech can say About Democracy, And what dictators do, The elderly rubbish they talk To an apathetic grave; Analysed all in his book, The enlightenment driven away, The habit-forming pain, Mismanagement and grief: We must suffer them all again. Into this neutral air Where blind skyscrapers use Their full height to proclaim The strength of Collective Man, Each language pours its vain Competitive excuse: But who can live for long In an euphoric dream; Out of the mirror they stare, Imperialism's face And the international wrong. Faces along the bar Cling to their average day: The lights must never go out, The music must always play, All the conventions conspire To make this fort assume The furniture of home; Lest we should see where we are, Lost in a haunted wood, Children afraid of the night Who have never been happy or good. The ...

Synopsis: Told in flashback, this engrossing drama champions grass-roots socialism, disguised as a male-bonding tale of two friends -- one of whom finds work in a factory owned by the other. The storyline leads into misunderstandings between the two friends caused by their boss-employee relationship. Rare Khanna/Bachchan joint appearance added interest to the film. The confrontation between the friends coupled with a powerful performance from Bachchan is the highlight of this movie. This is the movie, in which Amitabh is said to have taken over the superstar mantle from Rajesh Khanna. This movie signalled the end of the Khanna era and the beginning of the long Bachchan era. The movie personified the angry young man image of Bachchan.

Many attempts have been made to set Blake's "Songs of Innocence and Experience" to music, including classical composers, William Bolcom (1984), Benjamin Britten and Ralph Vaughan Williams, and folk singers Greg Brown (1987), and Finn Coren." The attempt I am most familiar with is by hip poet, Allen Ginsberg, who accompanied himself on harmonium on his 1970 recording. As a lover of Blake's poetry I decided to try recording the complete collection of poems, set partly to original music and partly to adaptations of folk tunes. It is presented here in eight videos, with some assistance from my sister, Annette, also a lover of Blake, and my nephew, Lachlan. William Blake (1757-1827), now famous for his unique poetic and artistic vision, was not recognised in his own lifetime. His incredibly rich and imaginative poetry expresses a romantic and mystical view of the world, and, though he loved the Bible, an extreme hostility to established religion and the conventional view of marriage, which earned him a reputation for madness or at least eccentricity. Blake believed Innocence and Experience were the two contrary states of the human soul, and both essential for life. The poems in "Songs of Innocence" either express a child's point of view or are about children. Many have a matching poem in "Songs of Experience", giving a different and darker perspective.Though Blake believed children needed to become experienced, he blamed social exploitation, such as child labour, and dogmatic ...
