Concept of God

Since a few days we have been discussing the concept of God. What is God...has anyone seen him/her ?  is there really any supernatural power , an almighty, a divine deity,  creator which is controlling the whole world ? The deities we worship...Rama krishna, jesus, are they really Gods ? The answer is perceptional, i.e. based on an individual's perception. But majority of people has the answer 'Yes, God is there...the one who we pray daily.' and the answer ends. I believe the origin of this concept ought to be analysed.

God and goodness are synonymous. Like they say, God resides within us. Our inner conscience or soul fulfilled with all positive aspects is God. If we are leading life with goodness, glory, peace, happiness and love then we are God. A feeling of love, affection, compassion, harmony, endowment towards others, then the God factor inside us is alive. A positive  energy or  a thought within us which guides on right and constructive path and which  prevents us from all wrong doings is a God factor. We ourselves might have derived the word God from 'good'. Simply leading life with an abysmal truthfulness, altruism and peace, not thinking of troubling or hurting others, without criticizing others, bestowing help to the people in need itself means achieved God's path. We  anyways become so cheerful, happy and contented by acquiring such an attitude that we wont be needing any God or supernatural power to guide us. We are confident to guide others as,  we are peace or GOD.
I am reminded of a documentary which explained the origin of God or say belief of people in context to revelation of God. We were in the soul world before coming to this world. We were souls and were interacted to a GOLDEN RED LIGHT which was God. That golden light made us realize that we were fully into the soul world, fully at peace, fulfilled with care, compassion, faith, love & affection…all in all the attitude which leaded us to goodness and generosity, and respect for others. We had this temperament which connected us to a bright light. WE WERE ENLIGHTENED.

When we arrived on earth or when a particular soul entered a body; since a body require few essential ingredients for sustenance like food,  sleep, warmth in cold temperature etc.,  we experienced a lot of other things such as sufferings, sorrows, attachments, hurt-harm, troubles, fiascoes and so on to fulfill these requirements.  All these surroundings depleted the positive aspects  and gradually formed pessimism within us. We started thinking about only ourselves. The soul factor or inner conscience gradually vanished with the positive vibes. The downfall of God factor within us initiated that led us to hatred, war, insecurities. Altruism converted into selfishness, peace into war...and what not. The golden red light became invisible. Since we could not identify God  within us, we started looking God in deities Shriram, Shrikrishna, Mohammad, etc..  Just a feeling is left that GOD exists. People do not have logic or reasoning for God who resides inside us. We were given the values since our childhood that we should pray.  But actually rather factually,   we do not need to worship God. We just need to introspect and peek into ourselves and THERE IS GOD. 

We all are Gods. Its just that we need to know our importance and value.  All we have to do is... we should create an inner power & peace. strength, and courage within us.

BEING GOOD IS ACHIEVING GOD....

Seven Modes Interpreted With Indian Ragas/Thaats

We are pretty familiar with the seven basic modes or scales in western music theory, which are considered useful in composing music. These seven modes are: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian. For my better understanding and grasping  of these modes, I have tried to perceive how they resemble some of the Indian ragas. But Before that, I would like to exhibit a chromatic an octave table in both (Indian & Western) the disciplines. Western Notes : C,    C#/Db ,   D     D#/Eb ,   E       F     F#/Gb      G     G#/Ab      A     A#/Bb    B      C  Indian Notes :   S         r          R         g          G ...

Pentatonic Ragas OR औडव जाति राग (Audav-Jaati Ragas)

As the name signifies, pentatonic ragas are the ragas having the five-notes syllables in particular. In Hindustani music, there are primary three Jaati : Audav (Ragas having only 5 notes in ascend and descend both) , Shaadav (Ragas having 6 notes), Sampoorna (Ragas having all 7 notes); and nine sub-categories with all possible combinations of these three categories, like Audav-Audav (Having 5-5 notes in ascending and descending series both), Audav-Shadav ( 5 notes in ascending and 6 while descend), Audav-Sampoorna (5 notes while Ascend and all 7 while descend ) etc.. Pentatonic ragas are called Audav Jaati Raga (औडव जाति के राग).  There are many ragas, which are created only by selecting five notes, omitting any two, which are mesmerizing and extraordinary. Creating and vocalizing such scale is challenging, because the phrase-improvisation,  becomes limited as one has to revolve round and round skipping with those five notes. Some of the Audav-Jaati ragas are:...
