ANNIVERSARY  EDITION
   Poem by Rudyard Kipling

                                                IF 
                                 

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

STUDY  :  RANGOLI  DESIGNS

Hello everybody. Todays post is about Rangoli designs.  It is a brief  collection of  points about how to make a Rangoli if you are new to it or simply just enjoy reading this post.

Here are some images i found from numerous sources about a rangoli design. I am sure you could find a lot more options when you look for them in internet ofcourse.

Above are some of the examples of very beautiful rangolis done by talented people. But the whole concept here is there are specific techniques to approach doing a rangoli that make a rangoli more popular among the masses . This does not mean that a rangoli has to be done only in a rigid way of thinking, this post just implies how the some of the designs have specific features in common that appeal to a greater mass or are more popular.

These might be some of the concluded points to look into :

• First and foremost , clean the surface area on which you start making the rangoli.

• Next , check for your design ingredients ,if you have got all the colours you require.We can add flowers ,flowers of all colours , diyas or earthen candles , or any decorative stuff you want to add to your rangoli.

• Make sure you have a lot of the white powder in supply,as it helps bring out the powder consistency in your rangoli,when you add it to other coloured powders.

• This white powder can be used to borderline your rangoli and this brings the rangoli design vibrantly.

• If you observe , most rangoli designs have these common features-     

                 They have concentric circled design pattern , almost all of them are circularly shaped , with geometric designs thrown in them.

                 Most rangolis use either  a Lotus design , Peacock design , a flower design or a Goddess face.



These are the design mostly in rave in common households of India. They are particularly preferred as they indicate festivity or positivity in the house. Ofcourse you may have a better view about these rangoli designs , any sort of creativity is appreciated .

GITA VERSES TO LEAD  A  SATISFIED , HAPPY  LIFE

Hey everyone,
here are some excerpts from the Holy book of Gita that i found from numerous sources. Hope these would enlighten you with knowledge and faith in you.

Lord said:
संनियम्येन्द्रियग्रामं सर्वत्र समबुद्धयः।
ते प्राप्नुवन्ति मामेव सर्वभूतहिते रताः।।12.4।।

English translation by Swami Gambhirananda
12.4 By fully controlling all the organs and always being even-minded, they, engaged in the welfare of all beings, attain Me alone.

English translation by Swami Sivananda
12.4 Having restrained all the senses, even-minded everywhere, intent on the welfare of all beings -- verily they also come unto Me.

यो मां पश्यति सर्वत्र सर्वं च मयि पश्यति।
तस्याहं न प्रणश्यामि स च मे न प्रणश्यति।।6.30।।

English translation by Swami Gambhirananda
6.30 One who sees Me in everything, and sees all things in Me-I do not go out of his vision, and he also is not lost to My vision.

" yada yada hi dharmasya galnir bhavati bharata
abhyutthanam adharmasya tadatmanam srjamy aham"

Whenever and wherever a decline of righteousness and a predominance of unrighteousness prevails;at that time I manifest Myself personally, O descendant of Bharata.

 "vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya
navani grhnati naro ’parani
tatha sarirani vihaya jirnany
anyani samyati navani dehi"

"Sri Krishna said: As a human being puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones."

"nainam chindanti shastrani
nainam dahati pavakah
na chainam kledayanty apo
na sosayati marutah"

Sri Krishna said: The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind.

" Karmanye Vadhikaraste,
Ma phaleshou kada chana,
Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhur
matey Sangostva Akarmani"

You have the right to perform your actions, but you are not entitled to the fruits of the actions. Do not let the fruit be the purpose of your actions, and therefore you won’t be attached to not doing your duty.

"Whatever happened was good
Whatever is happening is good
Whatever will happen will also be good
What of yours has gone to make you cry ?
What did you bring with you that you have lost ?
What did you create which is now destroyed ?
What you have taken you have taken only from here.
What was given was given only from here.
What is yours today, was someone else's yesterday, will be someone else's tomorrow.
 Change is the law of the the universe"
