Ramana Jayanti

"When the mind is left without anything to cling to, . . .  it becomes still. . . "


- Ramana Maha-rishi

Issa jayanti

A group of distinguished foreigners visited Jesus after his birth, and they bore gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

They came from the east to worship the king of jews. 

The three gifts has led to the assumption that there were three men.

In Eastern Christianity, specially the Syriac churches, the Magi often number twelve.

Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi Aradhana

Murshid to Mullah: Have you only blackened your eyes and mind? Or have you found some light?

Mullah shuddered; disembarked from his horse and asked, 'Who are you?'

Murshid replied, 'It does not matter who I am. Do you know who you are? '

Mullah Rumi realized that, after reading all scriptures written in black ink, he did not know. He said, 'I know that my heart is still black and my eyes are still black.. And I have no light.
I need light.'

Shams Tabrizi became Rumi's Murshid.

OSHO jayanti

I speak on Mahavira as part of my duty - my heart is never with him.

He is too mathematical, and not a mystic.
He has no poetry of being.
He is great, enlightened, but like a vast desert.

You cannot come across a single oasis in him.

Because I was born a Jaina, I have to pay some debts. And I speak on him as my duty.

Mahavira, Moses and Mohammed are single notes - not harmonies, not symphonies. A single note has its austere beauty and simplicity.

If I meet Mahavira on the road, I will pay my respects, and escape.
