At Yuksam

Yuksam: After long break i had been to Yuksam. I’m here at the first capital of Sikkim. Its name derived from the legendary story; meeting place of three lamas. The evidence can be seen at the little hill lock behind the small market. It is base for Mount Kanchenjunga trek. Yuk- means monks and Sam – means three in Lepcha language. In the beginning of 17^th century three Lamas (monks from Kham (present day Tibet) came southward to establish new Buddhist kingdom. According to their forecast they meet here at place called Norbugang (now Yuksam). So, in 1642, first king of Bye-yul Demojong, Chogyal Phunchok Namgyal was consecrated. The evidence of palace can be seen in ruins till date. Nearby there is Dubdi monastery, one of the oldest monastery in Sikkim.

After 7 kms drive on way to Pelling from Yuksam, a miraculous stone can be seen. It is rock resembled like old age stone grinder. The upper portion sound like bronze. Its metal sound derived its name as Ting Ting.

When anybody visit these route can visit the site.

The Incomplete Shine

       The Incomplete Shine

The ornamental shine of the east

Is like a mirage of the moment

It disappears in a blink of eyes

The rays keep dazzling for new beginning

Later it will vanishes in horizon

Someone tell me to hold, the Time.1.

The shiny beams may be wrongfully seen

I tried to understand the sparks

No one help me to whisper in heart

Moment I hold the belief and aspects

Illusion of possibility does agony

Someone tell me hook the Time.2.

The dawn shines with millions hopes

Spilling the scopes all around carelessly

Not a single dash to be taken by pleasures

I ran whole degree twice thrice in vain

Not a single can be touch by now

Someone lead me to destiny.3.

Everyday use to miss them moment

That has been carried by mystery past

Loving cheerful measures of comfort

The excitement which loaded in mind

Soiled by the burden of worries and fear

Someone give me courage to rest.4.

Shining morning with glowing happiness

Says farewell to freshness and purity

Only the lonely accompany of separate

Hurricane of optimist thoughts over ruled

Shivering cold of falsehood start smiles

Someone support me to comfort.5.

Tried to listennothing of abundance

Then green wings flappers with poor steps

In the hollow and empty mind of hopeless

Memories of the sweet adorable time

At dark retired with soled pain

Someone tell me happy ending.6.

My Understanding of Spirituality-3.

           

My Understanding of Spirituality-3

         Of course spirituality gives the lifeline to every religion. It is our way we perceiving like loving, accepting relating to the world and people around us. It is the satisfaction of loving others and not expecting anything. It is the way of connecting ourselves with our Creator. 
       Spirituality shows us the way of living and how to live. It is food to the seeker which satisfies and pleases to the senses. It is infinite in nature is liberty in awareness. When I joined Vedanta course, spirituality became clearer and louder. Earlier my thought was practice of ritualism and directionless faith. 
     When I grew in this path I convinced. Every step taken by me was in spirituality. My thoughts became crystal clear. When I was not able to understand the world around me, I would like seek some plans which would change my fortune. Then I found the place in real. 
       Actual knowledge and history has come to me only through spiritual knowledge. The spiritual way of living and worldly life is only a hair line difference. Worldly life accepts in diversity, Spiritual life take it as one in all. We spiritual seeker are not useless and a burden of society. Without knowing spiritual way of living, world will not sustain even a moment. Spirituality accepts and purifies the world outside..

My Understanding of Spirituality-2

             My Understanding of Spirituality-2

          A person is born spiritual and starts searching the comfort of his own thoughts and living. Nobody can say I am not a spiritual person. This spirituality lives in every dots and point of living world. Some time people go round and round to seek happiness and ease in mind. Amidst the hue and cry of multiplicity spirituality is copyright of some monks and priests or some religious group.

       In Nano technology age they abandon attitude of self respect, which is taught by spirituality. The wrong understanding of spirituality can lead to false image of spirituality. In pursuit of momentary solace they lose their own belief system and cultural identity and sucked in the most prevalent faith going around them and without knowing jump into the whirlpool of dogmatic thoughts and fanatic campaign. 

      Actually in the name of spirituality they sell religion and the values of the spirituality in oneself.  This Spirituality is seen in the religions, in the business, jobs and family etc. 

         I understood kind of spirituality doesn't means only religious

 rituals but to grow honesty and live modestly. It plays crucial role to run in all aspects of life. I found spirituality is there in every aspect of life. One may adopt only the religion and confined in limited boundary of thought. People mix the topic of spirituality and religion together.The concept of religions may different in their philosophies but the practice of spirituality remain the same i.e. faith and beliefs.

My Understanding of Spirituality

          My Understanding of Spirituality

        Spirituality is the science by which a person can study his own life and discover his true identity. In this modern world, understanding of spirituality is something different to everyone. Spirituality means the state of consciousness that reflects the deep and urgent need of understanding that can quench the thirst of a seeker with a higher quest. It is not religion as such but it leads through the trail from where I can see my own insight. It is the web or net which holds together the aspirations and philosophies of religions. 

     Spirituality is the essence of religion that binds every individuals with believe and faith. It is the collective wisdom which lies beyond the material world of proof and　beyond what we can qualify and quantify. It is made up thin line of faith in the inner life, realm of beliefs and mystery and devotion. 

        Spirituality helps develop the relationship with the Supreme, the Great Spirit with the individual. Spirituality takes us to that which is infinite in nature and is the constant background awareness in all our experiences. It is connection of metaphysical reality greater than oneself.

Success in life.

Everything has own purpose and goal in its nature. Human life has its own purpose and meaning. There are success and failure in this course of life span. Some people say only the lucky person can success; they think some special connections from great personalities and blessings from great saints or under the influence of great star. Some people say, to get success one has to born in a graceful and fortunate family or linage.

        Sometime people choose wrong routes to get success. Nobody knows the real goal of his life. According to the goal set, one can achieve that success. To be successful, one should set target far beyond the final line. If you want to reach the Moon, your goal should be far behind the blue sky. Many responsibilities to be handle and sacrifices to be done to get success. Always be aware of tangled courses in life. True worker and selfless service can get success. To be successful, be success in selecting goal. You have enormous amount of resources and potentials to be successful. Self recognizing is needed to be it.

Deal with life.

　　　　　　Deal with life.

The livings on this planet need many supports from another life. One cannot live without other’s life. No one is alone here. You may accept it or not, there are millions of friends and well wishers around you. Pause a moment and enumerate how many helps you are getting from surrounding in a second. You cannot think of it.              It doesn't mean you cannot grow yourself. Of course, you can but there are always some bonds that connect with others. Whatever you think of yourself, there is presence of other life in you. Though you cannot live others life but you can help other to live.

 The helping chain is so strong that no one can break or ignore it. If you praise or wishes for others’ well being or criticize others. Both ways you are helping others to grow. Some body may take your critics positively as advice and they grow stronger.

        Your hunger cannot be completed when I eat. To deal your hunger you have to eat. Showing situation is not dealing or solving it. Neither can you solve for others. Making other worried of your problem is creating problem, not sharing. The mutual help to others, however, is possible can make grow together. If you think, you are wearing nice cloth, do you know? How many people work on that piece of cloth? Since farm to machine then tailoring and selling, numerous people work on it that you don’t know at all. Can you find out how people work for a cup of coffee? Knowing all these we have to make a deal in living and stand up for life. To deal with life is not only compromise and promise. You should know it and DEAL (Draw Easy Alliance of Life) it.

Face The Life.

  Face The Life.

Every day you are facing many kinds of life. Sometime it can be very pleasant, gainful, wonderful or sometime it will be miserable, painful and boring. Each of these is various situations you are known to. It is the challenges and examinations you have to face. The situations comes at what attitude you respond. Sometime it will appear as you want or exactly opposite.

Sometime you meet with unexpected gain, it make more worried than having nothing. It creates lost in next moment that give more pain. Unwanted things start puffing up in the mind, which gives useless pain in living. What you get is to accept in its nature. Once you overcome all the challenges then the real taste of life you will find.

Life is not just a situation and an occasion to deal with. It means more than what we can think. We can fulfill the dreams, create new destiny and future. For that we have to work now and face the life. We should not give up anything easily, not to select too many things to achieve. Digging many pits will not give water. To get well water one has to dig only one pit deep underground. Same way if you want to fulfill the destiny, sticks into one life and live on it. If you work with full dedication in one goal, life will be fun and become fruitful. It will become an entertainment.

Those who have no goals will spend time in situations and challenges. Making of life is an art how you can live. Otherwise it will become use to it not cleared. Face the life and live it. That will be your own life.

Learn From Life.

               Learn From Life

Your life is what you want to. It is like a page of book which you can turn and mold it as you like. It’s up to you how you want to handle it. When it gets into wrong turn it will give you a miserable situation and good in wise turn. People live in different ways. It depends on how you look at it.  The world is as you look at. The world reacts as you live on it. You will see the faces and phases of life according to your views. By knowing and practicing life you will know it in easy and happy way. Living a good Life is a good lesson for oneself. If you are good enough to trace the value of one life, you will use it in correct way and live forever. The chance of life never comes again. Try to live with your life and watch it, what it tells to you. Life teaches you how to live and give the lesson of how to teach. Wise man learns from other’s mistakes and stupid actions of fools. But foolish always tries to imitate other’s action. Human beings are known for imitating others. Meanwhile, nobody knows, he is followed by others.

The lessons and teachings sometime lead to confused route also. Every moments we are living with our own teacher, unfortunately we learn only the short cut ways. We have to practice how to live and live on it. Never take the chance of fall from track of happy living. Be vigilance on living and be safe. Put right energy and effort for a easy life. Good teacher never says I’m the best. You are the one who can choose The Best Teacher, i.e LIFE.

Review (1 day tour at Ravangla and home stay at kewzing)

Name: Kyoko

I had wonderful and memorable day with Mayell in 1 day tour in Ravangla!
I used to travel in India for many years by myself without planning much, but I found travelling with a guide who has abundant of spiritual and cultural knowledge gave me totally different experience and much easier!! Because I was feeling travelling in India is very tiring and stressful as aging year by year...
He guided me place to place very smoothly, made a trip very comfortable, more fun with his warm, friendly, charming and trustworthy personality.

Initially I was assuming Ravangla area has not much to see, and only a tourist spot, but he knows well this area and the spiritual knowledge related to this area, so I could have amazing time!


He is arranging home stay also at kewzing (8km from Ravangla), where I learned how to make momo (tibetan food) !!

I couldn't understand Nepali language which they spoke, but they are very friendly and kind.
They taught me how to make momo step by step.

Also, they served me fresh cow milk and cheese, they were so delicious and unforgettable taste!

If you like cooking or interested in staying in Indian tribal village, I highly recommend you to do home stay too! For me it was first time experience to stay in this way, but thanks to Mayell, I could stay at ease and had a lots of fun!

Don’t limit your life.

     Don’t limit your life.

The meaning of life is not only to react with daily routines. It has many other prospects also to drag with. From the day you born till last breath of your life there are many meanings to clarify. There are many purposes in every action you face. Do the right move to correct it. Situations will come in two faces that tempt you by both. Don’t fall prey of dilemma, tackle it wisely. Never drag the short result and seemingly easy outcome.

  Every move you do will have some clues and riddles that to be cracked. Face it boldly and make it happen. Dare to face the life. Take each step as your last step. Don’t wait or postponed to next step for correction. The opportunity will come to you once in lifetime. Once you lost it means lose forever.

     Spread your life widely on note book of thought. Clearly segregate it and carry on further. Don’t narrow down the thinking process. Be always positive and optimistic. Give up your data and profile of, can be or cannot be.  Limitation of thinking will gives limited life. Do belief yourself and go ahead. Don’t limit yourself and your life.
