From the Diaries of Josephites…….

AS long as a traveller I stood

As long as a traveller I stood and looked upon the way with a story to tell and thousands of words to say

The road on which I stood never same as theirs Those places and beautiful dreams of childhood Again looked upon again

All those struggles and taunts and stern looks on the comical faces didn’t matter as the path was clear nothing stopped me, not even the spaces

Struggles and difficulties that laid behind dreams of paradise I dreamt made everyone fade as I stood alone to conquer

A path beautiful as never before full of adventures ahead dreams of new light every morning showed me down, careful not to race ahead

Everything I wanted to capture was already done As long as a traveller I stood

and looked upon the way Realizing how the journey proved more with just me, my love and the passion stray.

Embrace Yoga

Long time ago, in 1966, a child, born in a farmer family in

Haryana was living an ordinary life. He used to play like

others, cry like others and walk like others. Everything was

going well, until he was 25 years old. He got stuck with

paralysis, completely paralyzing his left side.

His parents took him to many hospitals, Ayurveda centers

etc. But it was of no use, no one was able to cure the

paralysis. One day a saint came to their village to promote

yoga, which was not very popular at that time.

The saint told about the benefits of yoga and also about

the one who invented yoga i.e. saint Patanjali. The boy

who was attacked by paralysis was also there with his

parents, listening the speech. The speech influenced the

boy that he started doing yoga from the very day he

listened about it. He considered maharishi Patanjali as his

guru and thought that doing yoga and also promoting can

be the only patronage to his guru.

He started eating raw fruits and vegetables and stopped

eating grains and oil. He practiced yoga from morning 4

o’clock to 8o’clock on a daily basis and he spent the rest

time in discovering more things about yoga and also telling

its importance to his friends and neighbors. Due to yoga

now he was able to move his full body easily. He regarded

yoga the best medicine.

After being completely cured he didn’t stop practicing

yoga instead he thought that god and his guru have now

made him completely capable to promote the ancient

practice. He met with a person who knew many herbal

medicines. That person helped him a lot promoting yoga.

They collected funds and slowly started yoga sessions

which were broadcasted on T.V. . They also started going

to other countries to tell about the importance of yoga

and are still going. Due to his determination, the world

started celebrating ‘World yoga day’ on 22nd June.

The person is non-other than

Baba Ramdev A.K.A Ramkishanyadav and his friends who

helped him is Balkrishnaacharya.

That is why it is said: Embrace Yoga.

Birth To My Dream

"Wake up and narrate the dream your saw.

Fall into a deeper dream and narrate that

you once wake up from a dream,

And what all you saw.

Keep falling into dreams after dreams

and keep waking up.

Fall till there's no sleep,

Till there's no dream,

Till there's no one to talk to.

Then wake up for good

but this time,

Tell no one.

SOARING ASPIRATIONS

I would be true, for there are those who trust me.

I would be pure, for there are those who care.

I would be brave, for there is much to suffer.

I would be friend to all the poor, the friendless.

I would be giving and forget the gift.

I would be humble, for I know my weakness.

I would look up and laugh and love and lift.

Speaking in School

Nothing Succeeds Like Success

He who does anything because it is a custom makes no

choices. Success demands unconventional choices and a

refined mind is a prerequisite for refined choices. It is the

school life where one learns not just the ABCD of the past

and the present but also the vision of future to which

he/she belongs. Life is not a bed of roses nor is it an

invincible puzzle. Everyone has his/her highs and lows.

Every call cannot be a success. Every success, every failure

should be accepted with welcoming zeal. That’s the secret

of keeping one’s life moving and happily. Be bold to live

life on your own terms and never apologize for it. Take the

road less travelled by instead of a well beaten path. Life is

too short to live for someone else. Don’t try to ape

someone else, don’t try to change yourself to become

someone else. There is no another “you” in this world.

Everyone is unique in their own way and this uniqueness

make everyone special.

Yoga- A secret to retain beauty of body and mind

The-crème-de-la-crème method to retain beauty of body and

mind is yoga .Here’s a story of 2 boys and the story goes like this

–

There were 2 boys named Sam and Aaron. Sam was a boy who

believed in the outer beauty. His looks were everything to him.

He was a good scholar and a handsome boy. Aaron was full of

passion and had the bent for inner beauty. Aaron believed the

beauty of mind and body came from yoga. He used to practice

the yoga everyday for an hour. But Sam thought that it was only

a time killing and painful practice. He never understood the

correct meaning and benefits of yoga. Sam was also fond of

karate. One day the teacher announced, “there is a karate

contest in Ujjain, whosoever is interested can go for the

selections now on the sports ground”. Hearing this, both of them

with 37 other students went for selections. 33 of them couldn’t

make it but Sam and Aaron did. Both of them were the part of

the contest now. But during the practice sessions for the final

contest the trainer disqualified Sam because his body was not

flexible. Then he realized that he would not have been

disqualified if he’d had a flexible body. Also he thought that yoga

could’ve proved beneficial here. From that day he started doing

yoga regularly as he understood that yoga is anbest exercise to

improve your posture and helps you retain the inner beauty of

body and mind.

Let Your Light Shine

“Your greatness is revealed by the light that shines within you.”

Life is a constant exercise for self-improvement. Sometimes life is

hard and other times life looks to be easy. You cannot always

control a situation but you can control how you react to it

because life is 10% what happens and 90% how you react to it. As

a cocoon through a lot of hardships transform in a gorgeous

butterfly so does we face odd situations in our life. But we should

learn from this small creature how to overcome various

situations and let ones light shine even when there is no hope for

a ray of light. It’s truly said that stars can’t shine without darkness

as there can’t be rainbow without rain. So, believe in yourself, let

your light be so bright that the whole world see you like a flower

as pretty as it can be. Be like a candle which burns itself to give

light to others. Awake the light within you and within every

person so as to fly with the wings of determination and hope and

“Make this world a beautiful and happier place to live in through

the brightness of your inner light.”
