Three stops on the Ganges, and many things to learn about life! Ganges, Mighty river, a goddess, a queen, You flow, from age to age, City to city, as a spectator and a narrator, Of stages of life itself! By Rishikesh. You flow restlessly, through sages locks, Abounding, aggressive, angry, In the wild abandon Of your youth. By Pataliputra, In mid age, you course by, winding, unwinding, Amused by births of teeming peoples, Only again to lap up their funeral pyres, the burning hopes of the son of Patali, the Queen of yore! In Sundarbans, Amongst beautiful mangrove forests, Your journey ends. Your every drop, joins the ocean, But you seem reluctant, to give yourself up, To the vast unknown!  3 stops down the course of Ganges: Upstream Rishikesh, Midstream Patna and sea entry: Sundarbans forest in the Gangetic DeltaGanges  Sundarbans : Man...

My home in the hills, A young boy, of the age when I left home. On a roof top, as I would have been, among the clouds, with the sharp hoot, of the toy train, from across the hill, and the chug-chug, of its steam rhythm. Thank you, Namkha, you take me home again!

Jeremiah 31:12  Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. Rohit dai sings of our homes in heaven and earth; he sings with joy and sorrow, and stirs the very depths of me. Thank you Rohit dai!

My devotional "My Utmost for His Highest" speaks again of those we hurt as a cost of our obedience! Excerpt from today's reading in http://utmost.org/ What My Obedience to God Costs Other People January 11, 2016 As they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon…, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus. — Luke 23:26 If we obey God, it is going to cost other people more than it costs us, and that is where the pain begins. If we are in love with our Lord, obedience does not cost us anything— it is a delight. But to those who do not love Him, our obedience does cost a great deal. If we obey God, it will mean that other people’s plans are upset. They will ridicule us as if to say, “You call this Christianity?” We could prevent the suffering, but not if we are obedient to God. We must let the cost be paid. When our obedience begins to cost others, our human pride entrenches itself and we say, “I will never ...

Time to get up? There are heaps of promises for those who do! Here are some of them: excepts form the first Sunday devotion of 2016.

Even before I started on the new year, one word kept ringing in my ear! "Breakthrough". As I went through the passage in Isaiah 61; I could see God's plans for breakthrough in many areas. I am sharing the verses in the chapter; which was the fodder for my meditation as well as that of my team as we begun the new year!
