The Story of the Three Monks

Shivapuri - 9/11/2019

The Story of the Three Monks
What is divine, shall remain in her divinity.
What is mystery, shall remain a mystery.
Deep in the forest. Forever Untouched.

So it starts. Step after steps of leaving the world the behind. Nothing is for free. One choice leading to another. The law of receiving and giving. The air is full of silence from the night. Even my breath is disrupting the ways of the forest. My thoughts echo deep within the abyss of unknown.

I wait. Sit by a flowing stream. The water is cold as the bedrock, as it washes through my being. I can feel the forest watching. Welcoming me with her silent gestures. I ask her, as I stop by these age old wilderness buzzing with her own spirit. Will you take my fear away?

The watcher of the forest spoke to me. She said. She talked of the three monks. She said, meet them. I asked her, who shall I meet amongst them all?. She said, either of them. Half way through, I left with wonder; wonder for the forest, the forest she spoke. Not only was she speaking, she was in my thoughts, the darkness revealing itself.

Steps after steps of the heaviness within. Not the weight without but that of within. She was helping me see. I was ready. I was ready to leave it all away. Steps after steps, she was welcoming me to her silence. As I entered through the mantra flags, closed my eyes, cleansed my way through, there it was finally.

The Three Monks They live.
You pass by the first and face your ego.
The ego you are not bringing on this doorway.
The road to Shivapuri, Heaven of the Lord Shiva.
The monks they guard.
You leave the first one to go to the Second.
The second tests you.
As you medidate, the patience you keep.
The shiva speaks through the third.
The eye that sees one in all.
Do you carry the purity of your heart?
The shiva speaks through the 3 Monks.
The Three Monks they Live.
The forest she breathes.
 What is mystery, shall remain a mystery.
What is divine, shall remain in her divinity.
Deep in the forest. Forever Untouched.

Medicina, Medicina!

  Art by Luis Tamani, link below! All the emotions suppressed,  What happens as the layers reveal one by one?  As the events unfold  The truth undigested  The past in front of you like a mirror.  How long can you sustain a smiling face?  Doesn't it get tired after a little while?  A little lapse and you’re in the same loop once more.  The thin line between the worlds  Once the box is open there is no going back?  Or do you?  Hidden underneath your suppressed voices. It's the stories of the cultures. The cries of the civilizations  Thriving in the whispers  What do you do?  When strangers cross their paths?  Who is the first to initiate the contact?  Or who is the one who feels the need to?  So you see it is the stories of the cultures. All the emotions suppressed.  The thin line between the worlds  A little lapse and you're in the same loop once more.  How is it any different?  ...

Let me graze in my space..will you?

Panchpokhari, November 2021 Let me graze in my space  Leave me at peace And all will be well!  As it is supposed to be But then you want trouble Everyone wants trouble, no?  Don’t you? Not that they are wanted  But they come chasing anyways Somewhere around the bend Just when all the troubles were away Simply following the lead  Leads coming from wherever  Who knows  But there was a perfect day  No it was a perfect shade No no it was perfect time No no it was the air  The loss of sense of time  Or was it the dimness of the sun  Sitting by the foothills  All the stress magically dissolved away  Comfort sinking in even if for a bit  As coincidences coincide  It is a time when you can rejoice in simply being Participation mystique they say  But it is true what it is that they say  Yes let me graze in my space  Leave me at peace And all will be well!  As it is supposed to be But then you want trou...

My first Qigong and Taichi Session!

  Luna in the middle followed by us practitioners on the sides! I was first surprised to find Taichi and Qigong public events at Couchsurfing. Even though not sure what to expect I decided to try it out because I have somehow always been appealed by the Taoist Philosophy. Having seen Taichi and Qigong flow movements in the movies and popular culture, I wanted to give it a try without a second thought. Thanks to the free session hosted by Luna and Nayeem! I visit Nagarjun forest/hill/region whenever I feel too clogged in the life within Kathmandu's hustle and bustle. The Nepal Yoga Home is located at the foothills of Nagarjun and at a picturesque location. In a way it is quite a place to host Taichi as well. Luna and Nayeem greeted me with gentleness and their warm presence. First off, Luna’s choice to practise outdoors was perfect. The fresh air outside was welcoming. And the view to the valley in the distance is a blessing in disguise. Even though I was the only one to show up at ...
