This blog is our space to write about our thoughts, views and notes about our travels. Osho owned 90 Rolls Royces while being a Sanyasi …. The so-felt contradiction is very fascinating and hence the name !
Paasuram #30, marks the conclusion of the Margazhi Nonbu. There are deep concepts for spiritual growth in these simple songs. They also offer several insights for leading a happy life and being effective at work.
Paasuram #29, is all about transformation of desires. Change at work also is slow, needs regular communication and incremental steps.
Bhagwan Krishna doesn’t worry about the rituals, he only looks at the depth of your devotion and surrender. In organisations, the norms matter more than the stated culture or values !!
Material wealth enables the spiritual quest… and that’s why Andal asks Krishna for material wealth too !!! Remember a rich country is respected, a poor country is exploited.
Bhagwan Krishna’s life is an example of living upto our potential despite all the curve balls life throws at us. Adversity helps you rise … remember the kite soars against the wind !!!
Paasuram #23 is about pursuing lofty goals that help the community and not be stuck with our small personal gains. Just as you should ask for Moksha from Bhagwan, set lofty goals.
Thirupaavai Paasuram #21 is the essence of Hinduism – fear doesn’t work in your relationship with God, only love works. It’s the same at work – fear creates a toxic work environment.
In Paasuram #20 Andal speaks about Krishna’s greatness and how he meets his devotees halfway… its also about putting in the hard work and not just hoping success would find you !
Paasuram #19 is very nuanced. We have to find many ways to reach our goal. Especially when the goal is for the universal good, means don’t matter much.
Thirupaavai Paasuram #18 is all about women empowerment. My new insight is, this is about being a sponsor for Women rather than just “talk” about empowerment !
