Rishikesh.. great religious place in India..

RISHIKESH [ A GREAT RELIGIOUS PLACE IN INDIA]
BY DR. RAM SHARMA , MEERUT, INDIA
Lord shiva stopped the pace,
of Holy Ganges in his hairs in this place,
so it was named Rishikesh[ hairs of a saint]
Laxman Jhula[swing] stands firm,
to cross the devotees to Neelkanth[holy temple]
Ram Jhula makes the pilgrimmage more confirm,
Neel dhara[ blue stream] dances wayward,
Gita Bhawan is far more forward,
Swarg Ashram is more holy,
to shelter the persons totally,
Holy Ganges enlightens us,
by its holy touch of purity,
it bears the essence of several medicinal plants,
its Gangajal is our grants,
jingling of bells, sounds of shells,
chanting of mantras, in the holy dells,
Transports us to religious bliss
Go there once, don`t miss

Love is the greatest force on earth...

Love is the greatest force on earth.He who has awakened the flame of love in his heart imparts the light to others.---------------Dr. Ram Sharma

When you are troubled with drugs and other addictions..

When you are troubled with drugs and other addictions that cause you to search for ways of supporting your drug and alcohol habit... perhaps you are involved in some type of behaviour that causes you to sell your soul for money...then you need not only professional help... seek it from doctors and counselors in your area... seek support groups of others who are fighting these addictions... but most of all... seek Divine Strength.. place your life and faith in a Higher Power....seek shelter in a sacred place... a church.. a place of worship.. a temple..a mosque.. whatever tradition you are in... seek shelter... Here, I am sitting on my favorite meditation place in Paramahansa Yogananda's meditation gardens in Encinitas, California (near San Diego)... it  is a place where I find Divine Strength...   ---- Dr Carolyn D.

Loving you in all directions...

LOVING YOU IN ALL DIRECTIONS
Poem by Irena Jovanović, Serbia

Loving You
in all directions
Lord
brings me easiness
to fly like bird
or butterfly
so high
loving You from up to down
and in opposite
from behind and front
and all around all
loving You from inside
most jubilant
extensive
best possible
deep heart love
and soul connection
within You
in all directions
