Heavenly Rendezvous

          Heavenly ambiance around, ringing bells at the backdrop, over-glowing diyas circling around the idols, melodious chorus of bhajans were transcending the usually chaotic surroundings to the divine atmosphere. This godly scenario I got to enjoy recently in the temple. I remember when I was younger (still I am :D) living in my old house; I used to attend temples on almost every single day. But after I shifted, hardly get time to go there or frankly, I never make time to go there.

The sequence of sliding off the curtains that were in the front of idols was quite histrionic. Metaphorically, it was looking like a truth that was hidden that’s getting finally revealed. The LED lights that were behind the face of idols, creating many patterns, were quite psychedelic. Although, they were artificial but were enough for creating a real magic on my mind. The patterns were quite effective, as if there is some energy coming out from them. There were people of each and every age group sitting around me. The reverent old people and the exuberance of little children were constructing an aura of respectability, an aura of friendliness. There were people of my age too. Some of them may have came just to drop their mothers, some came to observe things around, some came to find the inner peace like me and some came to pray for the things they want or may be for the person with whom they want to be in their life. :)

 

The chorus of bhajans at the backdrop was conceiving the power of togetherness. I was amazed by the fact that, the godly touch to anything transforms the bad things into the good ones. The crowd when observed outside creates an unbearable atmosphere but this same crowd when sing bhajans in chorus transcends that chaos into the euphonious tunes. It was all a divine touch that’s needed. Frankly speaking, I wasn’t getting 100% from those bhajans but yes, they were creating something exceptional within me. May be peace, may be energy, and may be spirituality. I don’t know actually. But whatever it was, it was something good, something better. I was getting closer to myself, I was getting known to myself, may be that what spirituality is. It gets you closer to yourself, closer to your innermost core, closer to real-YOU. My mind was getting free; it was a sense of bliss I was experiencing without any reason. May be that’s why some philosophers say to bring in new, you have to lose out the old. To create new ideas, you have to empty your minds first. May be I was experiencing the same thing. 

I know many would find this post digressing, but folks, that’s what life is! Life digresses and digresses but imparts us to learn from each and every digression. So, ending up with the clichéd thing- Bring in the new, lose out the old and just get closer to you. Peace lies within. God lies within but you must have to have that will to get there. Feel good; feel Peace, Feel God, fortunately everything lies within. :)
