But yes its been a great journey Friends and thank you all for being with me sharing my joy, reading my thoughts and Haiku … hope my blogposts have helped you some how as it always does for me…
SO HERE IS ANOTHER EDITION FOR YOU TO READ AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU LIKE IT… CHEERS!!!
After many years, I started reading Tao Te Ching (the translation by R B Blakney) again and
realize again that the real great books always gives deeper insight, every time you read it. The book “Tao Te Ching” by Lao Tzu is the most translated book in the world after Bible and reading these books, actually can transport one to the ancient times and align with the thought processes that started thousands of years back and still survive the test of living mankind’s journey across time. To understand the early history of human lives and its meaning, the old books are far better than the archeological remains. Just like the Veda’s for Hindus, perhaps to know more about those ancient civilization, books like “Tao Te Ching” gives a better perspective and insight.

STILL LIFE:
Recently one of my friends asked me, which temple I visit to meditate and practice sadhana and I said, "You don't need a temple, just sit down any where on the banks of Holy River Ganges, you will find peace". And I believe it so... as many of the Rishi, Saints and Sadhu's have been doing Tapasya in and around this place for thousands of years and the Ganges has been the source of their energy...
