LOCKDOWN LIFE !

Dated: 06.08.2020

Its been more than 4 months since COVID 19 Virus caused India to enforce total lock-down in the country

It First started on the 24th March 2020 when our PM Mr Narendra Modi pm announced lock-down for 21 days.

I was so thrilled to hear this news because i could now spend entire day with Priyanka and my lovely daughter Arannya Jain :)

Little did i know then that the lock-down would extend so much !
Its now more than 4 months and we are not sure when will normal life resume.

This lock-down is filled with mixed emotions and memories.

The most happy and positive moments were those that I, Pu and Chugnu spent together, enjoying open sky in our terraces, laughing together and clicking lots of photographs, going for vaccinations to Dr Piyush, eating good food ( Pu makes wonderful pasta), and many others.



Spending almost 4 months at home, reading good books like Bhagwad Gita ( By AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Watching Surya Putra Karn, reading about natural ways to healing by Ayurveda written by Dr Vasant Lad, books written by Jain Muni Lalitprabhuji and Chandraprabhuji ( Badle soch badle jeevan)) and learning personal finance in UDEMY online has led to better understanding about me and my beliefs.


I also attended a virtual Singapore tour in just rs 590 conducted by PHD chamber of Commerce and conducted by guide Suhail Jindran :)
It was an amazing experience and i got to know how much influence Feng shui has on Singapore!

I am implementing this in my life also now:)


Arannya Jain - This is for you  and all those who wish to implement it :

I want to highlight certain things that i learned in the lock-down and which brought greater understanding in me:
 
1. Always Love yourself and be happy that you are a unique soul and person.

2. Nothing in the Nature lives for itself:
Rivers dont drink their own water, The Sun doesn't shine for itself,Trees dont eat their own fruits
Living for each other is the rule of nature.

We feel happy and content when we do something that gives happiness to others.

3. Invest in Quality things.

4. This is something i came across in Udemy online and it changed my belief about money for good.
Money is neutral

It is neither good nor bad, it is just like a hammer, it depends on who wields it. 
It can be used for good or bad things depending on wielder.

5. Focus on higher goals and purposes in life and enjoy life in this PRESENT MOMENT.

A Vegetable Vendor :)

Dated:26.08.2020 It was one of those days when you want to be on the street and marvel at just the simple things in life. I was taking a walk outside my building and observing people around and just being happy for no reason in particular, when i came across a very young person selling vegetables. He had this amazing aura around him and it felt good just observing him continuing with his daily business. His genuineness struck me and i just sat next to him asking him more about his life and family. His name is Vivek and he lives close-by in Malad East. The first thing i asked him was that he did not had a large variety of vegetables but was only selling some of them. To this, he replied that in the current market , a lot of vegetables are not good and there is no point selling something that is not  good enough for us consumers. I saw that he only had limited quantity of what he was selling but everything looked so fresh and good. It made me realize the beauty of doing one thing but doi

Yogi Paramahansa !

Dated: 16th Jan 2021 A friend of mine recommended the Book-“Autobiography of a Yogi” by Sri Paramahansa Yogananda. There are seldom such profound books on self realization and the power a human being is capable of. As the name suggests, this book is the narration of the life journey of its Author- “Paramahansa Yogananda”. The first thing I noticed is the picture of its author on the cover page. There is something really divine and grace in his eyes, as if that he is from another dimension altogether and has been brought to our human world to serve a definite purpose. From being ridiculed by his family members and society, this book wonderfully takes us down to his journey of self realization and the message he delivered to our human race. The sages, the People he met during his life, the ashrams he went to and the complete faith in the divine god within himself he had, this book is an eye opener on the mystical way our human mind works and its capabilities. We all are essen
