The Originality Of Kirtan

-
Being in Bengal born and brought up, this word ” Kirtan” – chant of God ( specially in the name of Krishna) have been so frequently heard by me. I have heard this in temples and mutts all over, been chanted specially by aged women or widows wearing white sarees. However today I see an adulteration of the ” True form” into a newly evolved modified version. There’s Kirtan revolution taking place all over, right from Newyork to Tokyo. In fact when I used to stay in London, I have seen an adulterated form of Kirtan being sang there. What was once confined to temples and pujas at home, has taken the world stages by storm. New age Kirtans are performed all over the world, like rock and pop shows and the ” Original” Bhakti is missing in the flavour, thereby I would not be surprised if after Ten years the generation does not even know what is the ” Original” version of this Pure Mystical Call to God. Power of Kirtan is always in community singing and sang aloud, but not towards Commercialised singing.
Let the Original be Original and let us not Sell all our Valued Basic Indian Treasures towards Commercialisation.
Happy Reading

Do You Over Think?

-
I believe that as Human beings we should think, as we are the only creatures who have the opportunity of Choice , rest all have the situation of Chance. However when I take Personal sessions or Group sessions one common observation that I am getting these day’s are that most people Over think a lot. They overthink every little problem until it becomes bigger and scarier and it actually is. Even I used to over think a lot at time, however it have not yielded any result except doing bad to me, however have practiced the below which yielded result for me and many others: a) Do not get lost in unnecessary fears b) Spend more time with people who think less and are way more happier, or visualize them c) Realise you cannot control every thing d) Surrender yourself to God, or Nature, or whom ever you believe.
