Ek Onkar - ੴ [God Is One]

Hello To Everyone ,

Everyday, I listen to my grandmother's Holy Mantra Chant's early in the morning... :-)
So thought to share it with you all guys...!!
Actually many of you don't exactly know the actual meaning of it.. because its in "PUNJABI".. Though we all know ""OM"" is considered to be scared among Hindus and it is chanted before any prayer...!!

Om is a compound Sanskrit word , which we consist of the three letters...

अ +उ+ म= ॐ

ಅ+ಉ+ಮ= ಓಂ

Om represents the Trimurti: 

अ for Brahma - The Universal Creator.

उ for Shiva - The Universal Destroyer.

म for Vishnu - The Universal Protector.

Well , in Punjabi its "EK ONKAR" it is the symbol that represents the "One Supreme Reality" or "One God"..!!

The symbol has some resemblance to the Sanskrit OM as seen in the Hindu religion. Ek Onkar forms the Cornerstone of Punjabi belief in the unity and oneness of God.

Ek Onkar is the beginning of the Sikh Mool Mantra, And the first phrase in the Sikh Holy Book,  "Guru Granth Sahib"


So, I am providing one of the popular translations of the "GURBANI" 
It is the first bani/opening part of Shri Guru Granth Sahib..

Here, Goes the actual meaning....

ੴ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ 

ੴ सति नामु करता पुरखु निरभउ निरवैरु अकाल मूरति अजूनी सैभं गुर प्रसादि ॥ 

ik-oNkaar sat naam kartaa purakh nirbha-o nirvair akaal moorat ajoonee saibhaN gur parsaad. 

One Universal Creator God. The Name Is Truth. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying, Beyond Birth, Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace ~

॥ ਜਪੁ ॥ 

॥ जपु ॥

Chant And Meditate:

ਆਦਿ ਸਚੁ ਜੁਗਾਦਿ ਸਚੁ ॥

आदि सचु जुगादि सचु ॥ 

aad sach jugaad sach. 

True In The Primal Beginning. True Throughout The Ages.

ਹੈ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਹੋਸੀ ਭੀ ਸਚੁ ॥੧॥ 

है भी सचु नानक होसी भी सचु ॥१॥ 

hai bhee sach naanak hosee bhee sach. ||1|| 

True Here And Now. O Guru Nanak, Forever And Ever True. ||1||

ਸੋਚੈ ਸੋਚਿ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਜੇ ਸੋਚੀ ਲਖ ਵਾਰ ॥ 

सोचै सोचि न होवई जे सोची लख वार ॥ 

sochai soch na hova-ee jay sochee lakh vaar. 

By thinking, He cannot be reduced to thought, even by thinking hundreds of thousands of times.

ਚੁਪੈ ਚੁਪ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਜੇ ਲਾਇ ਰਹਾ ਲਿਵ ਤਾਰ ॥ 

चुपै चुप न होवई जे लाइ रहा लिव तार ॥ 

chupai chup na hova-ee jay laa-ay rahaa liv taar. 

By remaining silent, inner silence is not obtained, even by remaining lovingly absorbed deep within.

ਭੁਖਿਆ ਭੁਖ ਨ ਉਤਰੀ ਜੇ ਬੰਨਾ ਪੁਰੀਆ ਭਾਰ ॥

भुखिआ भुख न उतरी जे बंना पुरीआ भार ॥ 

bhukhi-aa bhukh na utree jay bannaa puree-aa bhaar. 

The hunger of the hungry is not appeased, even by piling up loads of worldly goods.

ਸਹਸ ਸਿਆਣਪਾ ਲਖ ਹੋਹਿ ਤ ਇਕ ਨ ਚਲੈ ਨਾਲਿ ॥ 

सहस सिआणपा लख होहि त इक न चलै नालि ॥ 

sahas si-aanpaa lakh hohi ta ik na chalai naal. 

Hundreds of thousands of clever tricks, but not even one of them will go along with you in the end.

ਕਿਵ ਸਚਿਆਰਾ ਹੋਈਐ ਕਿਵ ਕੂੜੈ ਤੁਟੈ ਪਾਲਿ ॥ 

किव सचिआरा होईऐ किव कूड़ै तुटै पालि ॥ 

kiv sachi-aaraa ho-ee-ai kiv koorhai tutai paal. 

So how can you become truthful? And how can the veil of illusion be torn away?

ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥ 

हुकमि रजाई चलणा नानक लिखिआ नालि ॥१॥ 

hukam rajaa-ee chalnaa naanak likhi-aa naal. ||1|| 

O Guru Nanak, it is written that you shall obey the Hukam of His Command, and walk in the Way of His Will. ||1||

"MY 20th BIRTHDAY" STEPPING IN AN ADOLESCENT AGE

Hello to Everyone..


WoOoOoHoOoOo, The Day Is Mine...!!! (^_^)


Finally I Stepped Out Of Teenage Life...!!
Jeez, I actually cant believe myself that i am now "TWENTY" [20] :-P :-D
I still feel young today, and I remember my 10th birthday like it was yesterday (I got a kick ass Lego set that year and a hand videogame and trust me i was  so damn overjoyed).
I thought 20 would be a mile stone, but it doesn't feel much different at all. 
Each year, I remember the experiences I got through , and what I've learnt as a whole year passed in my life ..
Now as I am 20 years old man ,I have different perspective and thoughts than a year ago and more confidence in myself, and also excited for my future..!! :-)
I realized that Simplicity is everything ..
I realized that, when I have a family and good health, then I have everything..
And when my parents and loved ones are pleased with me, then I am the most happiest person ever ..
Happiness come from ourselves as well as misery, sometimes unexpected things happen and I can turn them to a good ones by my jolly attitude... :-D
Well, My teenage life was sweet and sour.. :-P "Experienced both good as well as bad things too.. :-D (^_^)
But, my parents have taught me to learn about everything but always adapt and grasp nice things.. and so do i have...!! :-)
So, in order to make my life feel a bit more developed, more knowledge must be gained. So i have promise to keep and....


"MILES TO GO BEFORE I SLEEP"...!!

"REINCARNATION OF BLOGGING WITHIN ME"

Hello To Everyone,

Here I am, blogging again, after like, say few months. As I can see, the last post on my blog is dated SATURDAY 27th August 2011...!!  :D 

Somehow I have started finding the entire idea behind writing, as psychotic :-D hehehe 

I guess, that’s because when I read my blog, it amuses me, and makes me wonder what is this moronic stuff I have written. Well, yes sometimes I do feel like that. Rest of the times, it feels good, that I have somehow managed to kill time :P .I am so happy with my joblessness :P

      

               But people say everything comes with a reason. And in my case, there's one too. After one serious inspiration from a friend of mine, and a promise to myself, I have decided to write again. Don’t really know, how long I'll be able to keep up with that, but for now, it holds true. Well, apart from the comeback, I would say that life has changed immensely ever since. Studies keeps me occupied most of the day, and gets bit messy sometimes, but who cares.."THODI MASTI BHI ZARORI HAI YAAR" :-D , rite? ;)

So For now i am leading a simple guy's life.. :-) "A HAPPY GO LIFE WITH SOME UPS AND DOWNS IN MY DAILY LIFE"...!!
Few high aims yet to be achieved in another land which is yet to be discovered..another life to conquer "Sssssshhhhhh" "TOP SECRET PLACE" Ambition se related hai yaar.. So Jayda Mat Apna DimaG Lagao.. :-D :-P Give some rest to your brain too.. :-D hehehe.

My travel freakishness is rising but sadness *SOB* , there are no good traveler friends around. So let’s see, I have a list of places lined up...

Once I get to them I'll be updating , so for now,I'll Bid Bye to you all..and yes cheers..LoLx

YeS , I AM BLOGGING AGAIN...!!!

"I NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THREE THINGS IN MY LIFE I,ME & MYSELF"

Well i am writing blog for the very first time...so i really don't have any clue about it..!!
so blogging for the first time is not going to be that easy.. it needs lots of patience and i have to play with words in order to write a blog and so as the proverb goes "ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY".


I don't know if any one will ever read these but I am doing this just to speak my mind.


I am known for being a talkative person who is known for talking a lot and speaking my mind.
I want to write stuff and get other people feedback's about what i have to say with respect i might not believe in your opinion but i will respect it.
I might argue but i will do it in a respectable manner. I love discussion and just discussing anything with a debate. 
So what could be more special then writing my very own first Blog on "I , ME & MYSELF" As i am very much SELF OBSESSED ....!!


Sometimes it is hard to introduce yourself because you know yourself so well that you do not know where to start with.
Let me give a try to see what kind of image you have about me through my self-description.
I hope that my impression about myself and your impression about me are not so different. 
So Here it goes....


I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. There are many things I like to do, to see, and to experience.
I like to read, I like to write,I like to think, I like to dream, I like to talk, I like to listen.
I like to see the sunrise in the morning, I like to see the moonlight at night.
I like to feel the music playing loudly in my headphones, I like to smell the wind coming from the ocean.
I like to look at the clouds in the sky with a blank mind, I like to do thought experiment when I cannot sleep in the middle of the night.
I like flowers in spring, rain in summer, leaves in autumn, and Chilled climate in winter.
I like to sleep early, I like to get up late.
I like to be alone, I like to be surrounded by people.
I like My country’s peace which lives as one big whole family like an OCEAN OF HUMANITY , I like metropolis’ noise.
I like delicious food and comfortable shoes.
I like books but not to that extent "I AM NOT A BOOKWORM" and romantic,horror,comedy movies.
I like the land and the nature, I like people. And, I like to laugh.


So i just try to enjoy each and every second of my life..!!
I live my life to the fullest..well i should also mention that i am very much pampered child because i am the only child to my parents so they fulfill almost my all dreams.
Well apart from my happy days there were also some ups and downs in my life..!! I found myself in a messed up situation regarding my career and life.. many people use to taunt me that i am not made for ENGINEERING.
But you all would be shocked to know that ENGINEERING was my only dream.. my childhood dream from standard 3 :)
I was really shattered when my HIGHER SECONDARY results came out. though i cracked my ENGINEERING ENTRANCE EXAMINATION i was left behind with few marks in my boards. It was all because of my carelessness... i use to take my studies lightly.
Used to think that i would finish almost whole syllabus in one day, as everyone knows PURE SCIENCE STREAM is bit tough. But i took them lightly , like always i got the fruit from the seed which was plowed by me only.
So if anybody used to taunt me i just had one answer for all those people "I just want to be myself, do the things I love and pursue my passions in life.
I don’t want to dress in a suit and tie just because that’s how your supposed to dress. I want to wear a suit cause I like it. That’s what its all about, staying ‘me’ and achieving my goal at what i am good at.


Anyways As life gives us never ending opportunities. I took "INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY" as my career, as i was damn interested in COMPUTERS, they just mean everything to me.
So finally , My dream wont be in DEBRIS any more..
"MY DREAM WAS JUST TO GET AN ENGINEERING TAG IN FRONT MY NAME" as a designation..!! and so would i, but its just that i have to travel a long route due to my carelessness during my boards.
But finally at the end , i would be having the tag in front of my name. Hard labour surely pays off well..!!
So i am now just focused to achieve my goal.
Now years later I’m here. I’m doing what I love every day. I’m pursuing my passion "ENGINEERING" but in a long route it doesn't matter to me weather its a long route or a short cut at the end i will reach the same destination what others are doing. :)
People who know me from way back don’t really understand what i am doing for my future's livelihood and what career i have opted for. Even members of my family can’t really explain to other people what I am actually doing. They just have blind faith in me.. and "YES" "I WOULD SURELY PROVE MY WORTH SOMEDAY OR THE OTHER".
Everyone who question's me that "WHAT ARE YOU DOING RAHUL"..?? I just replay That i am "JUST LIVING MY DREAM , MY PASSION" :)
“WHAT I DO TODAY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE I AM PAYING A DAY OF MY LIFE FOR IT. WHAT I ACCOMPLISH MUST BE WORTHWHILE BECAUSE THE PRICE IS HIGH.”...!!
I’ll never grow old. I’ll never stop being curious. I’ll never stop loving what I do. I’ll never stop being me.
That's my promise. To myself.



P.S - "I JUST WANT TO BE I , Me & MYSELF"
