MyDiary

Friday, September 22, 2006: It was exceptionally unique and serenemost an experience I had today morning while doing yoga at the Dhyankendra of Tapovan. Summingup my 2 hour yoga session, I was in Shavasan mudra for necessary relaxation when all of a sudden I just came across a distinct glimpse of divinity –bright and calm, tranquil and extraordinarily soothing. I can’t call it just a feeling of nothingness as or that of a total detachment as it was throughout full of an abundantly caressing and an encompassing peace. I did come across certain divine thrills in my life in the past but this one being just first of its kind. Recovered, my mortal self only hankered to get the experience time and again.

Far from the madding crowd

No noise, no nuisance -peace thou art tranquil, thou art sweet
No turbulence, no nonsense -an easy calm is there to meet

'Far from the Madding Crowd' by Thomas Hardy depicts a keen hankering for peace and this is t hankering not confined to certain individuals. Depending on time and situation which a person undergoes, every individual opts for peace as against deep noise in the surroundings. It tastes so sweet when there is tranquility in atmosphere coupled with soothing surroundings.
