Three Inspirational Quotes of Buddha

1. "All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become."
You become what you think about or in other words: what you focus on grows in your life and from what you take your focus away from diminishes. This is also the message of the law of attraction, recently very popular by the movie and book "The Secret ".

It means that the mind is directing our life in that way that we manifest the life around us by the thoughts and directions we take with our mind. Since everything we created around us is first created in the mind, it is the tool or the interface between our self and the material world.


2. "All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?"
This is the core of personal development. It points towards the need to train and develop the mind and to free it from limits and negativity.

The other quote "The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness." makes the same point with the special notion of happiness. The mind used correctly – i.e. constructive, empowering, solution- and action-oriented, positive, truth-seeking – can create happiness. But used poorly – i.e. blaming, egocentric, negative, blinded by ambition or separation – it will create unhappiness for us. Training the mind is the key here.

The quote may also point to a transformation by awakening directly, where the mind becomes the servant of the self and not the creator of a self-image (the concept of the ego) as a replacement for the true self.

3. "Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
This points to the abundant nature of reality. The abundance mentality says there is enough for everyone, we only have to realize and live by it. It is the opposite of a scarcity mentality, where you have the belief that you always have to fight for your part in a limited world.

Thank God, who blessed us a baby boy

It was exactly at 8.02PM in UAE. I was just entering into my house after a returning from a day long work and was fedded up with the traffic at Dubai. Exited on having a ring on my mobile. My younger brother (Lalu) called me to inform that God has blessed us a baby boy at 9:25PM (India Time) and mother and son are well there.

My happiness jumps every boundary. I showerd with the glad. Immidiated I thanked God and wished his long & successful life. Looked the photos of my parent and tear came down beneath my eyes when realised my late father missed this happiness. He would have the happiest person in the earth. Talked with my mother to share the joy.

In Dubai, I first informed to my friend Trilochan, Sushant & Nithya...

Nithya suggested (in jokingly) to name him as 'Burj Khalifa Tripathy' because he born at the same date and same time (4-JAN-2010 8PM dubai time)when the worlds tallest tower (Burj Khalifa) inagurated in this time.

MUNSHI PREMCHAND (1880-1936)

Munshi Premchand (July 31, 1880 - October 8, 1936), whose real name was Dhanpat Rai had born on a small village 'Lamhi' near Varanasi. Married at fifteen to a girl from a neighboring village but the marriage was a failure and, when Premchand left the village in 1899, the girl returned to her village. Several years later, in 1906, in response to an advertisement in a local paper from a man who wanted to marry off his child-widow daughter, he married a second time to Shivrani Devi.

In 1921, he answered Mahatma Gandhi's call and resigned from his government job. In the same year his son, Amrit Rai, was born; Rai also became a writer, and wrote a highly regarded biography of his father.


The main characteristic of Premchand's writings is his interesting story-telling and use of simple language. His novels describe the problems of the rural peasant classes. He avoided the use of highly Sanskritized Hindi but rather he used the dialect of the common people.


Here is a site to read his stories online
http://munshi-premchand.blogspot.com/

'My Life and Times' is a unique autobiography by Munshi Premchand, recreated from his works by the man regarded as Premchand’s Boswell, Madan Gopal.


The best short story I have read yet is 'do bailon kee katha'. I really can't stop appreciating the author and fallen in love of him after reading this story only. Please click here if you want to read 'Do bailon kee katha'

NOVELS
=============================================================


• Godaan (HINDI)
This is Premchand’s last completed novel, is considered his best work. It is the story of a changing people, hungry and semi-starved, yet hopeful and optimistic, in the truest spirit of the age it represents. Hori gets a cow but pays with his life for it. After his death, the village priests demand a cow from his widow to bring his soul to peace.


• Gaban (HINDI)
Gaban, first published in 1931, five years before Premchand's death, gives us a fascinating glimpse of north Indian society, and especially of the author's own Kayasth community. Ramnath, the morally weak but physically charming son of a poor but honest government clerk in Allahabad, marries the beautiful Jalpa. Her passion for jewellery, inculcated from early childhood, involves her husband in increasingly
complex financial and personal relationships, and eventually leads to his apparent disgrace, and his flight from home.


• Nirmala (HINDI)
First published in 1928, this poignant novel by Premchand is a classic text of the woman as victim. Young and vulnerable, Nirmala is married off to an elderly widower by her mother who cannot afford to pay a dowry for her. A forbidden relationship between the young bride and one of her three stepsons seems inevitable.


• The Second Wife (ENGLISH)
An English translation of Premchand's well-known novel Nirmala. Charming and cultivated, Nirmala’s only sin is her failure to get a husband who would accept her without a dowry. She is married off to a widower. The realistic dramatization of the family events is peculiarly Indian, but based on universal human experience, transcending geographical boundaries and barriers of culture.



• Sevasadan
One of Premchand’s most successful Hindi novels, Sevasadan is a bold statement on the political and religious debates about marriage, sexuality, and prostitution, at a time when Indian Women were being held up as standard-bearers of a nation in chains. A hugely popular novel, Sevasadan went through several editions after its first publication in 1918. It was made into a film in 1938 with M S Subbulakshmi in the lead role.
