మరణం - లయం అవ్వడం

Namasthe.

Have you ever paused to ponder the fleeting beauty of life? Consider the quote, "We meet but briefly in life, if we touch each other with stardust, that is everything." How does this resonate with your understanding of the impermanence of our existence?

కలిసి భొజనం చేయడం, మన వాల్లతో నవ్వు మరియు కుటుంబ బంధాల నిండిన సాయంత్రంని ఊహించుకోండి. ఇప్పుడు, సాధారణ సంఘటనలు అసాధారణంగా మారినప్పుడు పూర్తి విరుద్ధంగా ఊహించుకోండి, కానీ మీరు ఎప్పుడూ ఊహించని విధంగా. రెప్పపాటులో అన్నీ మారిపోయే ఆ కీలక క్షణాలను మీరు ఎదుర్కొన్నారా?

సాధారణం..అసాధారణంగా మారిన క్షణం గురించి ఆలోచించండి - జీవితం యొక్క అనూహ్య స్వభావాన్ని బహిర్గతం చేస్తూ మీరు అలాంటి ఆకస్మిక మార్పులను ఎదుర్కొన్నారా?

The phone call that announces a departure, a loss – a stark reminder that nothing in life is permanent. How do you cope with the shock, the chaos, and the surreal scenes that follow such moments of profound change?

Amid the sadness and tears, have you ever felt a strange peace, a clarity, a deep connection to life? How does death transform your perception of existence and prompt a realization of what truly matters?

Consider the lessons death imparts about life:

The Power of Love: How has the power of love seen you through dark days? Can you embrace the idea that though physically absent, loved ones live on in hearts, minds, and dreams?

The Power of Impermanence: Reflect on times when you sought control in the face of loss. How does death teach us that life, like a rainbow, is beautiful in its impermanence? How does it make the shared journey profound?

The Power of Acceptance: In moments of grief, have you resisted acceptance? How does the grieving process, with its stages, lead to eventual acceptance? In what ways does acceptance allow one to move forward?

The Power of Transformation: Have you experienced personal growth following loss and struggle? How do seeds of struggle contribute to transformation and growth? Can you see the potential for something good on the horizon?

The Power of Awareness: Reflect on your conscious awareness before facing death. In what ways does death challenge and expand our awareness, prompting questions about life's purpose and the choices we make?

ఏదీ శాశ్వతంగా ఉండదు అనే వాస్తవికతతో మనం పట్టుబడుతున్నప్పుడు నియంత్రణ యొక్క భ్రమ విరిగిపోతుంది. జీవితం, ఒక ఇంద్రధనస్సు ల ఉంటుంది, ఇది కాంతి మరియు వర్షం యొక్క సున్నితమైన పరస్పర చర్య, చివరికి మసకబారిపోయే అందం యొక్క క్షణాలను ఏర్పరుస్తుంది. అశాశ్వతతను అంగీకరించడం ద్వారా మనం భాగస్వామ్య ప్రయాణాన్ని మరియు మన జీవితాల యొక్క లోతైన వ్యక్తీకరణలను అభినందించగలుగుతాము, ప్రతి క్షణం యొక్క అమూల్యతను గుర్తిస్తాం.

మరణం కేవలం ముగింపు కాదు; అది ఒక లోతైన ప్రారంభం. ఇది జీవితం యొక్క సారాంశం గురించి మనకు జ్ఞానోదయం చేసే శక్తిని కలిగి ఉంది మరియు మన ఉనికిని పునర్నిర్మించడానికి, పాఠాలు నేర్చుకోవడానికి life lo నష్టం కోసం వేచి ఉండాల్సిన అవసరం లేదు. We need not wait for that loss..ప్రతి రోజు మన జీవిత ఉద్దేశ్యం, purpose and what are we here ani ప్రకాశవంతమైన startdust నింపడానికి అవకాశాన్ని అందిస్తుంది, అది మన ప్రయాణాన్ని నిజంగా అసాధారణమైనదిగా చేస్తుంది. జీవితం, క్లుప్తంగా ఉన్నప్పటికీ, మన ప్రత్యేక వ్యక్తీకరణ కోసం ఎదురుచూస్తున్న chance-మనం వేసే ప్రతి అడుగులోనూ సమ్మోహనత్వము వ్యాప్తి చేయడానికి నిర్ణయించుకుందాం.

I recently had a discussion with my husband Mr. Vishnuchittan. He shared a perspective that resonates deeply with me: every birthday is a celebration, marking another year of life's journey. Yet, in the same breath, he acknowledged that each passing year brings us closer to the inevitable—death.

From this viewpoint, I've come to understand that even death, in its profound way, is a celebration. It's the culmination of a life well-lived, a journey completed, and a transition into a new, mysterious phase. Every birthday, every moment, and yes, even death, becomes a unique celebration.

Yours

Shweta Vishnuchittan.

The Bird Who Chose to Fly Higher

Hey all, Namasthe and Welcome to The Voice of Chittan ! I’m back with another soulful reflection, one that speaks to every heart that’s ever felt unheard, every spirit that’s been tested, and every dream that’s dared to rise above the noise. Today’s blog is a story of resilience, mindful living, and the quiet strength that often goes unnoticed, until it chooses to fly high. Let’s dive in. In a quiet forest, there lived a bird unlike the rest. It wasn’t the loudest, nor the fastest. It didn’t compete for attention or join the noisy flocks that filled the skies with chaos. This bird had a different way of being,it moved slowly, intentionally, and mindfully. Its path wasn’t always clear, but its heart was steady. Every day, it focused on what mattered,its purpose, its values, and its inner peace. But the world around it didn’t understand silence. A flock of noisy birds began to notice this quiet one. They squawked and laughed, mocking its calm demeanor. “Why are you so slow?” the...

Climbing Within

In a world where growth is often measured in deadlines met and milestones achieved, we rarely pause to ask: What truly moves the soul? What if self-development wasn’t just about climbing the corporate ladder, but also about climbing within ..... one quiet step at a time? We often look for inspiration in grand speeches, bestselling books, or powerful personalities. But sometimes, the most profound lessons come from the quiet corners of life , from people who go unnoticed but live with a rare, deep purpose. Recently, I had the blessed opportunity to visit Tirumala , the sacred abode of Lord Venkateswara. While the divine darshan itself was soul-stirring, it was the journey , the climb, the people, and the silent stories unfolding around us , that left a lasting impression. Image: Sacred Hills of Tirumala Amid the chants of Govinda Govinda and the rustling of countless bare feet on ancient stone steps, I met a man whose simple spiritual routine shook me deeply. He was in his 60s , a...

That Random day in my life.....

That day began like any other, filled with gratitude to Narasimha and hope for the day ahead. I went to work, but by mid-day, something shifted. I fell sick—suddenly, unexpectedly—and as the hours passed, my condition worsened. It wasn’t just an ordinary illness; this time, it felt heavy, like a storm I couldn’t escape. For a moment, I wondered if I would survive. And in that quiet space, where everything else faded, two thoughts consumed me: What about my son? Will my husband manage without me? And then a strange question arose—Is my purpose done? Am I leaving because I’ve already fulfilled what I came to do? ( may be if we feel that moments are our last seconds and if we feel that we don't see tomorrow,then the most precious things alone we might be remember and we would recollect ..it would have scroll down like a reel those precious moments, and so i felt about my son and husband) After several tests, the diagnosis finally came through: viral and bacterial pneumoni...

Ya Devi Sarva Bhutheshu Shakti Roopena Smasthitha...

Namasthe to the voice of Chittan Readers. A happy Navratri to you all... Every year when Navratri comes, I too decorate my home, light lamps, sing bhajans, Parayana and enjoy the festive spirit. But somewhere in my heart, a quiet question always rises, why do we actually celebrate this festival? Is it just about rituals, or is there something deeper waiting to be discovered? As I reflected, I found my answer in the Devi Mahatmyam , a powerful scripture I keep returning to. On the surface, it tells us stories of the Goddess slaying demons. But if we listen closely, it reveals something far more personal, the Goddess we worship outside is already living within us. When I chant “Ya Devi Sarva Bhuteshu Shakti Rupena Samsthita”, I no longer feel I am calling on someone far away. I feel as though I am recognizing the Shakti already flowing in me, in you, and in every being around us. I have felt her as the strength that helps me rise after failure, after every betrayal and vulnerabilit...

బలం నీ చేతిలో ఉన్న ఆయుధంలో కాదు…దృఢ సంకల్పంలో ఉంది.

మేమంతా ఒక సినిమా చూస్తూ ఆసక్తిగా మునిగిపోయాం. కథలో, ధర్మాన్ని కాపాడేందుకు పోరాడుతున్న హీరో ఒక్కడు. విలన్లు భారీ ఆయుధాలతో ఉగ్రరూపంలో కనిపిస్తున్నారు, కానీ హీరో చేతిలో కేవలం ఒక త్రిశూలం లాంటి సామాన్యమైన ఆయుధం మాత్రమే. With deep involved ..చూస్తున్న నా కొడుకు నన్ను ఆశ్చర్యంగా అడిగాడు, "అమ్మా, ఇతను ఈ చిన్న ఆయుధంతో ఎలా ఈ రాక్షసులను ఓడిస్తాడు?" సినిమాలో నేను అంతగా లీనమై, వెంటనే స్పందించాను, "బలం ఆయుధంలో ఉండదు… దాన్ని పట్టిన వాడిలో ఉంటుంది!" ఆ మాట నాకెందుకో లోపల ఏదో ఆలోచనను రేకెత్తించింది. ఒక్కసారిగా ఆగిపోయి లోతుగా తర్కించాను. నిజంగా, ఇదేనా అన్ని మహాకావ్యాల సారం? నిజమైన శక్తి మన దగ్గర ఉన్న ఆయుధాల్లో కాదు, మన విశ్వాసంలో, మన నమ్మకంలో, మన ధైర్యంలో ఉంది. గాండీవం అర్జునుని చేతిలో ఉన్నందుకే ధర్మానికి సహాయపడింది. సుదర్శన చక్రం శ్రీకృష్ణుని జ్ఞానానికి లోబడి ధర్మరక్షణ చేసింది. హనుమంతుడు తన శక్తిని గుర్తించక ముందు సాధారణ వానరుడే… కానీ నమ్మకం కలిగిన క్షణమే అతను అపరమిత శక్తి పొందాడు. సుదర్శన చక్రం ఎందుకు కేవలం ఒక చక్రం కాదు? గాండీవం ఎందుకు సామాన్య ధనుస్సు కాదు? ఎందుకు అదే ఆయుధాలు ఇతర...

where true power lies??

Namasthe to "Voice of Chittan" Readers! As we sat together for a family movie night, immersed in the gripping tale unfolding on the screen, the hero stood alone, fighting against injustice. The villains, armed with massive weapons, seemed invincible, while the hero wielded nothing but a simple hammer. Watching intently, my son turned to me and asked, "How can he stop evil with just a hammer?" Without a second thought, completely absorbed in the moment, I responded, "Balam aayudham lo undadhu… daanni patte vaadilo untundhi!" (Strength is not in the weapon, but in the one who wields it.) As soon as I uttered those words, something struck me. I paused. I pondered. Wasn't this the essence of every great story, every legend, and every real-life victory? The Gandiva was powerful only because it was in Arjuna’s hands, used for a righteous cause. The Sudarshana Chakra became a force of protection and justice only when wielded by Lord Krishna. Hanuman, though ...

Carry Your True Colors

Today, while walking outside, I noticed a tiny insect crawling on the stones. At first, it looked ordinary. But when I looked closer, I saw bright red marks on its back. Such a small creature, yet it carried such striking colors. Image credit: Mother Nature's gift and Captured by me That moment stayed with me. We often try to fit into what others expect of us , their wishes, their desires, their idea of who we should be. In the process, we sometimes forget our own colors, our own truth. But the little insect reminded me of something important: strength doesn’t come from size, or from pleasing everyone. It comes from spirit , from daring to stand out, just as we are. Life may not always place us in easy surroundings. People may not always notice us, or even accept us. Yet, when we carry our true self with honesty and courage, we shine in our own quiet way. Strength isn’t in size. Strength is in staying original, in not hiding our colors to blend in. And when we live this way, w...
