SUCCESS OF ENDEAVORS

GITA WISDOM #26

अधिष्ठानं तथा कर्ता करणं च पृथग्विधम्‌।
विविधाश्च पृथक्चेष्टा दैवं चैवात्र पञ्चमम्‌॥

Success of all endeavours depends upon five aspects – the physical structure, the doer, the individual organs, the various actions and finally the (divine) metaphysical forces. (18.14)

इस विषय में अर्थात कर्मों की सिद्धि में अधिष्ठान (जिसके आश्रय कर्म किए जाएँ, उसका नाम अधिष्ठान है) और कर्ता तथा भिन्न-भिन्न प्रकार के करण (जिन-जिन इंद्रियादिकों और साधनों द्वारा कर्म किए जाते हैं, उनका नाम करण है) एवं नाना प्रकार की अलग-अलग चेष्टाएँ और वैसे ही पाँचवाँ हेतु दैव (पूर्वकृत शुभाशुभ कर्मों के संस्कारों का नाम दैव है) है
॥14॥

Success of all endeavours depends upon five aspects – the physical structure, the doer, the individual organs, the various actions and finally the (divine) metaphysical forces. (18.14)

KARVA CHAUTH

Karwa Chauth is a festival celebrated by Hindu women from the Indian Subcontinent on the fourth day after purnima (a full moon) in the month of Kartika. Like many Hindu festivals, Karwa Chauth is based on the lunisolar calendar which accounts for all astronomical positions, especially positions of the moon which is used as a marker to calculate important dates. The festival falls on the fourth day after the full moon, in the Hindu lunisolar calendar month of Kartik.

On Karwa Chauth, married women, especially in North India, observe fast from sunrise to moonrise for the safety and longevity of their husbands. The Karwa Chauth fast is traditionally celebrated in the states of Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh. It is celebrated as Atla Tadde in Andhra Pradesh.

कश्मीर ~ KASHMIR

Navneet Kumar's avatarThe Horizon

भटकती हैं मेरी यादें
उन पर्वतों के गलियारों में
कुदरत का खूबसूरत नमूना
पेश-ए-खिदमत
जिसकी रक्षा की है
देश के जवानों ने ।

कोई इज़्ज़त लूट रहा है इन वादियों की
कोई इज़्ज़त बचा रहा है अपने साथियों की
क्या समझ घास चरने गयी है
सब देश के चालक, समझदारों की ?
मख़मली बर्फ़, आग़ोश में भर पर्वतों को
मरहम लगाती उन जमे हुए अश्कों से
जिसे इंसानों ने पाट, पगडंडी बनाई
मार साथियों को हथियारों से ।

है वो जन्नत पर
उस जन्नत से उसका कोई वास्ता नहीं
यहां बैठे हैं कई राक्षस,
जिनका देवताओं जैसा कोई मुखौटा नहीं
जिंदादिली और ताकत का मिश्रण
जिया है मैंने इन आंखों से
साज-सज्जा में कोई कमी नहीं की
ईश्वर ने संजोया-तराशा है अपने हाथों से ।

ये मूर्ख इतना भी नहीं समझते
इसको बाँट-बाँट, खुद को बाँट रहे हैं
और सारा दोष असीम शाँत घाटियों पर
मढ़ने से बाज नहीं आते…

OUR ATTITUDE DECIDES OUR ALTITUDE

GITA WISDOM #25

ऊर्ध्वं गच्छन्ति सत्त्वस्था मध्ये तिष्ठन्ति राजसाः।
जघन्यगुणवृत्तिस्था अधो गच्छन्ति तामसाः॥

The virtuous ones ascend great heights; the greedy stay put where they are; while the inactive go down to the gutters. Action without fruit-orientation leads to glory. (14.18)

सत्त्वगुण में स्थित पुरुष स्वर्गादि उच्च लोकों को जाते हैं, रजोगुण में स्थित राजस पुरुष मध्य में अर्थात मनुष्य लोक में ही रहते हैं और तमोगुण के कार्यरूप निद्रा, प्रमाद और आलस्यादि में स्थित तामस पुरुष अधोगति को अर्थात कीट, पशु आदि नीच योनियों को तथा नरकों को प्राप्त होते हैं
॥18॥

The virtuous ones ascend great heights; the greedy stay put where they are; while the inactive go down to the gutters. Action without fruit-orientation leads to glory. (14.18)
