A li'l way off

The post is my random strolling on profound topics (spirituality).

Got inspiration for this post while listening to 'Bhaja Govindham' song. This immortal song was written by Adi Sankaracharya. MS Subbulakshmi, the queen of music, poured life into the song with her golden voice. If you like carnatic music, you can listen to the song here. You may need to register in the site to listen to the song. If you appreciate philosophy in lyrics, you can take a look at the English translation of Sanskrit lyrics here. Direct link for song is here. 

Have you ever wondered why did we born in this country?
For long time, India has been ridiculed as land of snake charmers, sadhus and sanniyasis. Contrastly, it is a land of deeper spiritual thoughts. The spiritual knowledge of an average Indian is always astonishing. Hinduism is way of life here. Buddhism has its roots here. Zen took out its branch from south India. The way of living without harming others is preached as Jainism in this land. Ahimsa is proven as way to fight against oppression. I am proud for being an Indian and living in India.

Li'l idea on a relaxing vacation
Imagine spending few days with loved ones in a house situated at top of a mountain, surrounded by deep green forests. The place is filled with chirping sounds of birds. The garden of the house has a small pond bordered by lush green plants and colorful flowers. Squirrels play merrily with fruits in the garden. The melodious music and golden voice of MSS Amma fills the air in that place. Wow. Isn't it look like a preview to an eternal bliss

I am too young for a deep introspection. But at times I am baffled with questions like 'Who am i?', 'what's purpose of my life?' .... And felt empty while performing regular rituals and worships in temples. Never heed to humbug spiritual talks. I am atheist at times, agnostic and iconoclastic in arguments. Yet I found few places which give an eternal bliss. The song 'bhaja govindam' is also about spiritual search, explained in layman terms by Adisankarcharya. He is a paramatma, his word and thougts has to be true.
