Travelling and Knowing the Self

As I was travelling, the Sun was same which shined in its full beauty from the Himalayas of Nepal, from the rocky mountains of India and set exactly the same way in the deep sea at Swedish archipelago. The Moon was running in its own cycle in exactly same way ... but the different was the land, its vegetation and the heads where their light fell on. Water that I drank was all of same property of cooling and reliving from thirst.  I still remember the sweetness in smell of Danish snowy wind and fishlike order of wind blowing in the tsunami hit villages of South Indian coast of Indian Ocean.

When I fled up and up more up high in the sky and saw the great Himalayan range in the North of Nepal, white snow seemed as if it was decorating the green valleys and hills like garland, there was no border which can differentiate that another side of the Himalaya is Tibet, nor the green great plane land was saying any thing about India and Nepal border. The whole world was without border, at that time "I felt so jealous of birds and animals! who roam here and there freely all around without any visa or passport, and felt ashamed of being a human for creating boarders and differentiating between the nation and human."   

I have travelled many villages and cities of Europe mostly Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Thailand, India and of course Nepal where I was born. In this great journey of my life I have tasted so many different foods, touched so many different land forms, walked in exhausting dry desert and freezing snowy roads, I have felt too many shades of wind in my face, and have swamped in different ocean which actually is one and just have different name from the different part of world, which surrounds this earth from all around but can't really see the earth making difference in anything it's offering to us. Earth is so unconditionally in love with all of beings, either small insect or huge whale. It has provided everything to all who reside here with right temperature and food. Camel in desert is blessed with great art of living in thirsty environment and it has given a long sleeping ability to panda in Himalayas to rest in peace and wait for new grass to grow. Frogs are blessed with art of living in dry days to wait the rainy season.  

Yes, bird looks different than champagnes and human looks different than insects, we all look different in color, shape and size but we all came from the same source to this existence. It's possible that we can't talk each others' language, but we all have feeling of love and compassion which binds us and unites us. It's natural that in this eco-system, frog eats insects and frog is eaten by snake and tiger eats deer and so on but we all are the creation of same existence. We are so similar in the level of feeling, we all need family, friends and want to live in a community of our own. It's so hard to understand that we are connected from deep within, scientists are saying so loudly for ages that we all are connected with the same thread of nature in this existence.  

I am a musician by profession, I have composed many songs on love, tragedy and patriotism. I always thought for my people and my country, actually never thought globally. As I travelled and saw many countries and people living there, I couldn't see any difference in us, than language and skin, rest was all same we all love to be loved, everyone wants to have some sort of belongingness and cared for. I couldn't see the different sky, sun or moon. Actually I was quite amazed when I landed in Denmark for the first time and knew that this land was called Copenhagen, Denmark. It surprised and gave me a great insight of how can land be different when it is connected in every aspect with my part of world. While flying in Sky there was no any means to differentiate that, above which country was I flying. Once going to Germany by car from Denmark suddenly a text came in my mobile saying "now you are in Germany and you are most welcome in our land" that just shocked me because there was not even a border check or any gate or such thing with any police, which made me think if we live in peace we don't need any police and boarders. 

Till this date I haven't found any individual human in earth who says that he only loves his family and country, I have met so many open minded people in this great journey with great heart to unite this world and be a universal citizen. But if you visit the mass of people following any political leader, any sect of religion or a group of some cast or color then you will find many group of people hating others group and loving only own. So we should know deeply within that we are fragmented in heart by these selfish leaders, politicians and exploiting philosophies. I dream and wish we will unite once again in the name of Humanity and bind our heart and soul and rise above cast, creed, color of skin,  country and make our time the best era in whole history of this earth.   

So travel my friend! Travel! And know this earth more closely from your heart, as all the rivers from Himalayas are running to meet sea and oceans far away. Our Rhinos and Tigers from Royal Chitwan National Park visit Indian Bengal tigers and have children together, Siberian birds travel thousands of mile to come to Nepal and have their babies born in Nepali forest, raise them and go back home, clouds from Bay of Bengal bring rain for our farmers in Nepal, we all are connected friends we all are ....

There is no such word like 'foreigner'. We all are from same family ! As our sages said thousands of years ago " Bashudhaiba Kutumbakam" which means the whole world is one family.

Peace, Light & Love

Ramesh Harilatthak and our creations

 

On 10th of the month of Magh which is winter and full moon an organization called Anurag Literary Society of Rupandehi, Nepal announced the first ever Ramesh Memorial Prize. I was the one who was chosen for the award. Deep Milan called from Dubai and Nirmal Dhungana called from Butwal. It was a great honor to receive an award which was really nice thing.

In the contest of Nepali  singer Narayan Gopal, artist Manuj Babu Mishra, lyricist Kali Prasad Rijal or Ratna Shamsher or on the contest of Indian writer Guljar and singer Jaggit Singh, musician R D Burmen and singer Aasha Bhoshle all of above mentioned people  created great work of arts. What I am trying to say is that by the collaboration of writer and musician they create great work of art. If a musician gets a book from a random writer and starts composing music on that poem the singer or musician may not be able to create great music because he or she doesn't know the writer. So by the collaboration of these two could lead to great work of art. 

On the first meeting with Ramesh Harilatthak we also discussed on the same is sue to create an environment to create great literary works. For some extent we can see some work have been done on that direction but not on larger number. Being a musician I am also trying to make such collaborations with few writers like Dr. Ghanshyam Neupane Parishrami and Swami Shantam Shree. When singer and composer understands the feeling of writer and vice versa it helps to make great composition.  On the other hand musician also should give new ideas to writers and writers also should suggest new ways of composing music so that they both will creatively help each other. 

  

I met Ramesh Harilatthak for around 4 times , each meeting would be really inspiring and full of new ideas. After he left this body I am desperately searching those kind of young energetic persona. Thank you Ramesh ji for your short but sweet friendship. 

 
You are always in our heart. 

I would humbly request to musicians and writers to make a good friendship and share their work. So that each will know the need of both and the lacking that they see in their particular composition, either music or lyric. Till which date shall we say those days were amazing? Lets create new amazing days and amazing creations. 

Lots of Love

A Person is Only Limited by the Thoughts He Chooses By: Daniel N Brown

Many of the circumstances in a person's life are often produced by him, or her self.
I believe we each create our own luck, whether it be good or bad. Consciously, or unconsciously, we may have at some time or another, produced our own conditions, desirable, or undesirable, either in our bodily health or other circumstances.
Many of these conditions in our lives, whether they be favorable or unfavorable, are largely determined by our beliefs.
You may not accept that. You might be like a lot of people that I have encountered that make excuses. Making excuses and casting blame only make us out to be the victim. There is absolutely no power in playing the part of a victim.
I know we each experience our own individual successes and failures because of our beliefs.
Our beliefs definately determine the quality of our lives. The amount of money we earn is determined by our beliefs. We each earn the income we do today because of the beliefs we maintain. Simply because it is the amount we have limited ourselves to earn. We possibly could earn five, ten, twenty times, or more if we did not limit ourselves through our beliefs.
Don't believe that's true? Surely you know people who earn much more than you who don't have your education, your skills, or your intelligence. So why do they earn more than you?
It is a fact that one's belief system is ultimately responsible for whether they live a successful life or not. So, it would do each one of us good to get an understanding of our individual beliefs.
It starts with our thoughts. Our thoughts are what our belief system is composed of, and it is our beliefs that ultimately dictate the outcome of every area of our lives.
Your true beliefs are a sum total of all of your accumulated experiences over the course of your life. They create your expectations for future experiences, and your expectations are really nothing more than your current pattern of thought.
Your thoughts have brought you to where you are right now. But, you are not limited to the life you now live. It has been accepted by you as the best you can do at this moment. Any time you're ready to go beyond the limitations currently in your life, you're capable of doing that by choosing different thoughts.
Since there are tremendous reservoirs of potential within you, you are quite capable of doing anything you set your mind to (as long as it's within God's will for you). All you must do is decide that you can. And once you have made your mind up that you can do it, it's amazing how your mind begins to figure out how.
The "how" is the easy part. It's the "believing" part that trips up most people.
Jesus said in Mark 9:23, "All thing are possible to him who believes."
You are only limited by your beliefs, and it is your thoughts that make up your beliefs. Therefore, it makes sense to choose better thoughts. It's completely within your control. Choose thoughts that contribute to success and not failure, or a "settle for" attitude.
If you sincerely want to move on with your life, you can if you decide to.
Make a decision today to take full responsibility for where you are. Decide from this moment on that you will choose thoughts that contribute to a life of success and dismiss all thoughts of doubt, fear, and unbelief. God's Word says, "Whatsoever things are just, honorable, pure, lovely, good report, virtue, and praise, think on these things" (Phil 4:8).
Your thoughts are critical to the quality of your life! Jesus said in Matthew 9:29, "According to your faith, let it be done unto you."
