The Divine Light

After covering almost 1200 miles in train and another 20 odd miles on foot...up and down on a holy hill......and patiently following a swarm of devotees.....I got what I had come for.....for what....millions of faithful come...everyday....A 2 minute सुदर्शन (sudarshan - beautiful glimpse) of the Lord of Tirumalai....Shri Venkateswara........Tirupati Balaji.......that was the first time...I had seen his divine figure.....such beauty....such lustre.....a million suns would lose out on him....by a million times.....The deity adorned with Gold...and garlands of the most elegant flowers....and enlightening a few hundred holy lamps....capturing one's sense of sight.....
The scent of incense, flowers and other offerings.....captivating one's sense of smell......
The chants by the Brahmins......and a thousand devotees echoing GOVINDA GOVINDA....praising the Lord....while the bells toll......imprisoning one's sense of hearing......
The very feeling of being alive makes you feel grateful....for physically being there....thereby....embracing the sense of feeling(touch)....
and when finally I sing his name harmoniously......GOVINDA GOVINDA.....The fifth sense of speech....is blessed!
Thus....a moment when...all five senses of the soul are blessed......is what I experienced whole heartedly that day....Although it's impossible for me to transcend that unto you................yet here is something that is close.....................far close..................! I shot this at my house......
All I could say then was....Om Namo Venkateswaraaya....GOVINDA GOVINDA....

Mere Bina (Lyrics, English Translation)

मेरे बिना (Mere Bina) CROOK OST Music - Pritam Singer - Nikhil D'Souza Lyrics - Kumaar MY RATING - 9/10 Reflections A very romantic western number by new comer Nikhil D'Souza. Pritam has crooned Pop hits by Darius and Enrqiue alike to create a magical ballad that hooks you to its smoothness the moment the song starts. Nikhil sounds like Atif at times, but nevertheless is a promsing find!   Lyrics (English Translation) Mere Bina Rehne laga hun Teri hawaon me Behne laga hun I have started living without you... I have started floating in the breeze that you are jaane main kaise tera hua hu mujhe to lagta hai main shayad tere dil ki dua hu Haan Tujhko jo paaya ahan To jeena aaya Ab ye lamha theher jaye tham jaye bas jaye hum Dono ke darmiyaaaaan I don't know how I have become yours I think I am the boon from your heart Yea! Now that I found you...I have learnt to live Now this moment may stop here at this very moment when the two of us are together...
