Every one is born to be enlightened. Actually we have this treasure within us; the only thing is that the dust on it has to be removed. It is not that you have to attain it, it is that you have it; you just have to know it that you have it.
Occasionally, when you look out of the window, focus of something very natural, for example the sky; if you don't have anything natural, then may be a potted plant, or an animal or anything that you can consciously focus on. It will be of great help, as it will take you out of the mind. Human made things can also make you aware- for example, a car. But it's easier to connect with the tree and be free of the mind, than to connect with the car, but after awhile you can also do it with the car.
Just as man needs to be

To be a winner you need to work like a horse not like a donkey. And if you enjoy your work, it can never be taxing. Moreover my profession at times demands a lot of traveling and that really rejuvenates me.
Love unites, but separation too is a part of it. Lovers are wedded in souls and when they part, the pangs of separation are profound. This is what one feels when one listens to the song, ‘Laagi tumse man ki lagan’ by Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, son of Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan and nephew of late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Born in Faisalabad, Pakistan, Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is the successor to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, carrying forward his legacy with sheer reverence and devotion. Rahat isn’t just a singer or an interpreter; he is also a composer and a creator.
here is certain humbleness about him. It has come from years of training in the Guru-Shishya Parampara (he was trained under his father, late Padamshri Pt. Vinayachandra Maudgalya and late Pt. Kumar Gandharva) and years of dedicated service to the world of music. Indeed, he is an impeccable singer and a dedicated teacher. He holds an M.Phil. degree from the University of Delhi for his research in the structure of khayal. He conducted the Gandharva Choir, India’s renowened music group. Now he heads Gandharva Mahavidyalaya as Principal, where he has created the right ambience and training to nurture talent.

Actually, everything about this ace dancer, choreographer, actor, singer and now director is highly intriguing. Dancing comes naturally to Shiamak Davar, and when he is on stage he is at peace, and awareness surrounds him. this man who is apparently wedded to glamour, spirituality has always been a great anchor. He, however, is essentially a performer who believes that dance, song and acting are products of a collective effort of the mind, body and the spirit. Soul Curry Spoke To Him.
God is omnipresent, and manifests Himself in all aspects; in you, in me, in nature, and just everywhere. Please understand that there is nothing but God. The uncountable variety of creatures that we see have all come out of the beejam, that is, the Lord, Nature being the Mother and, God the Father.
One of the best things that classical dance teaches is to manage time efficiently. The training in tala (rhythm) is all about time management and how to prepare oneself to keep to the beat. Since one has been trained all one's life in this, it has become second nature to me to manage my time efficiently and I am able to do different things - professional, family and fun - just by planning schedules efficiently.
Geeta Chandran is synonymous with the Indian classical dance
