Cob Mountain.

Cob Mountain.
It was summer of 2001.I flue from Seattle to San Jose (California) around eight am morning. From San Jose it was tow hours drive in the mountains to get to the place.Beautiful place to stay in small cottages surrounded by 100 years old pine & pike trees. There were people staying in the valley. Around 20 cottages were there on our campus. Only in weekend people come to stay there to relax and take coerces in music, meditation and yoga. Every weekend there was music concert also.
Golf course is next to the campus. Senior citizens always use to keep themselves playing glof.Day time whenever I had free time I use to go for long walk in the valley surrounded by deep forest, the places on the mountain are very lonely, but that is one of my hobbies to enjoy the nature. It gives such a wonderful feeling and joy to watch and just to be in the beautiful surroundings. What a great countryside view. It was so easy to watch these animals moving in the forest, deer, lamas, different birds. Americans they have preserved the natural resources so well, that is simply unbelievable .Mostly summer homes are there in the mountain.Special home is constructed on the top of the mountain, one can get in to the home by only helicopter, there is no way to climb the mountain and above all if you see through the window to the back side of the house, there is deep death valley.If you look yet, you would get scare. One can call it adventure home. Only some people have such sense to enjoy the extreme things. Having walk for tow hours in the forest is good deal only by roadside, other wise it could be risky from wild animals.
One mid night, I was resting in the cottage in a deep sleep. Suddenly I got jumped in the bed tow feet high. Still I was slippy but after few seconds water started pouring in, could not figure out what is going on, thought may be it is earth quack, went to the door and tried to open it but it got jam. Power went off. Looked through the window and saw, big tree branch came down on the door. Realize that tree has collapsed on the cottage; there was no time to think also, all other people were in different cottages away from me. There was no way to get out, got in to the bath room and broke the window and got out of the cottage, gusty wind was blowing electric wires on the ground, to walk to other place was also risky. Anyhow, got to the other building, which was safer. Anyhow, saved my self. Could not sleep in to that building until morning. There was Jamaican guy by name Nantambu he saw that my cottage has smashed, he thought what happen to me, he started running, shouting towards that cottage, Vedang are you there, are you safe? I was in other building heard that voice and came out, I am here, and I am safe. He hugged me and said thank God.
That was another new life for me. On the same day, I booked a ticket for Boise Idaho and flue by evening saying; see you Mountain any other time.

Mexican-Amigo.

Mexican- Amigo.
Ricardo Gonzales was born in Mexico the other side of the border of USA.As most of the Mexicans have dream to cross the border for better life and get in to USA either legally or illegally. There are different ways to cross the border.Recordo cross the border through desert for many days, without water, food and did not be shot by border petrol. As many maxican he is also uneducated, but getting job was not a big deal, he started working for construction company day to day besis.He has to work every day for different company.Any way he started making money six dollar an hour.Staying with all other Amigos in single bed room apartment so they can share the rent.So they could save more money, to send back to Mexico.
At least this is good thing in America, as long as you are working hard, not creating problems and not breaking the law then you are fine, since it is country of immigrants and the ‘American Dream’ is still valid. Now Ricardo is working for long in the country, slowly he is getting his family in USA one by one. Trying to realize that American Dream as fast as possible. Not only from Mexico but also from other Latin countries hundreds of thousand immigrants in USA.It is big population of Latinos is growing faster than all other minority groups. Within few years Hispanics will take over to the blaks.Getting attention from the white house for the election to get Latino votes, president Bush is the first president to air his weekly radio address in Spanish..
Now Amigo is happy with his family, he got every thing whatever he has dreamed for, dream come true.

From the Memories.

From the Memories.
Sept. the 11th.
I woke up in the morning eight o clock, took shower and drove to store (7/11) to have a cup of coffee & donut.The guy at the store asked me, did you watch the news, I said what happen, he said there is plane crash in the twin towers at Newyork.I took my coffee and got in to the car and put on the Radio and came to know that another plane crashed in another tower. After wards every one started talking about, it is not an accident but some thing else. By the evening, it was clear that it is terrorist attack.
It was such a big shock for every American, never before happened like this on American soil accept Pearl Harbor incident. Loss of thousands of innocent lives. Such a strong and great nation in the world. No one ever accepted some thing like this would happen to Americans.FBI, CIA & White House came to conclusion that behind this evil act who is mastermind. Everybody felt sorry for the human loss. Whether American or non-American.
In daily life Americans lost confidance, they are confused; still they do not know why it has happened. Now different voices are coming up saying that, is it our falt.Our Government is going around the world, sending troupes everywhere to kill people for what reason, only white house knows. That is why there is hatred about America. Media is noticing the issue very strongly saying that Bin Laden is our creation. Whatever we did so far it is coming back to us.
Since sept.the 11th, too much hate crime against middle eastern and Muslims. The problem with Americans that they could not figure out who is an Indian, Shrilankan, Fijian or Arabian. For them every one looks same. Some people said to me that look, what you did to us, why you bombed us, you destroyed our twin towers and pentagon. You killed our so many people. There was no other option other than to be quiet. When ever I use to walk in the public place every one use to look at me as if I am criminal. I do not blame them; it was but natural to get anger. Right now, we need peace in the whole world not violence.

Gandharva Ved.

Gandharva Ved.
It is an eternal music of nature. Music is coherent frequencies some different, some the the same, many values of frequency or sound- makes a melody. The whole universe all the infinite number of items in the universe, are all different frequencies or sounds, and there is a swing of bliss everywhere in nature. Think of the earth moving around the sun or the many galaxies and starts all moving, but always with the same motion. It must be a very great satisfaction for the nature of the earth and of the entire starry world just to follow a particular path and never deviate. One would follow that pattern only if it is blissful.
The element of bliss, of more and more, must be nature’s activity. It must belong to nature’s habit to move in waves of bliss. The eternal harmony of nature must be pattern of bliss-the whole of nature always swinging in the waves of bliss. This comes as the passage of evolution, which means more and more and more knowledge, more happiness more progress. The melody of nature eternally the same going on and on and on in swings of bliss everywhere. Those rhythms, which are being maintained at all times. Due to the maintenance of all those rhythms, the infinite variety of creation is very well co-ordinated by natural law. When the people of the world violate the laws of nature, population of the world has not been educated to think and act spontaneously according to natural law. Cries and failures and problems, terrorism and war-all these negative values spring from the violation of natural law by the whole population of the world.
To neutralize this stress there has been knowledge from Vedic times. The Vedic civilization was that civilization, which enjoyed heaven on earth, which means that life, was lived according to natural law.Gandharva music, is a most refined evaluation of the sound value, the frequency ultimately; it is the self –referral dynamics of consciousness, which is infinite frequency. Infinite frequency is on the level of the unified field of naturallaw, which Vedic science calls the samhita of Rishi, Devata and chhandas.
We express thanks to our tradition of masters, who have given us this insight to the activity of nature and this gift of Gandharva music to create harmony in nature.Gandharva music is a precious gift for the whole world and for all times.
