Bharat Ek Khoj

One of my favorite title tracks of 80's Doordarshan serials. Mysterious and enchanting.. makes one think. 



Bharat Ek Khoj (Discovery of India) is a 53 episode television series that dramatically unfolds the 5000 year history of India from its beginnings to the coming of independence in 1947.

Bharat Ek Khoj is based on Jawaharlal Nehru's celebrated book, The Discovery of India. It was produced and directed by Shyam Benegal, narrated by Om Puri, and anchored by Roshan Seth who plays the role of Jawaharlal Nehru.

This is the title track for the series.

Does Satan Exist?




Each one of us is given the freedom to choose between the truth of God or the lies of satan. The former leads to eternal life with God and the later eternal death.

The God that washes the feet of man (His creation).


John 13:1-10 It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

2 The evening meal was in progress, and t
he devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”

8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”

Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

9 “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”

10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.” 11 For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.

Interacting with the spiritual realm


Sid Roth's goal in life was to be a millionaire by age 30. But when he reached age 29 and realized his dreams and aspirations were slipping away, Sid left his family and corporate job to seek fulfillment in the New Age. As Sid became more acquainted with the real and dark powers of the New Age, he found himself so enveloped with fear that suicide looked to be the only escape... until he found something more



 9 నీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా నీకిచ్చుచున్న దేశమున నీవు ప్రవేశించిన తరువాత ఆ జనముల హేయకృత్యములను నీవు చేయ నేర్చుకొనకూడదు.
9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.



10 తన కుమారునైనను తన కుమార్తెనైనను అగ్నిగుండము దాటించు వానినైనను, శకు నముచెప్పు సోదెగానినైనను, మేఘ శకునములనుగాని సర్ప శకునములను గాని చెప్పు వానినైనను, చిల్లంగివానినైనను, మాంత్రికునినైనను, ఇంద్రజాలకునినైనను
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.


11 కర్ణపిశాచి నడుగువానినైనను, దయ్యములయొద్ద విచారణచేయు వాని నైనను మీ మధ్య ఉండనియ్యకూడదు.
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.


12 వీటిని చేయు ప్రతివాడును యెహోవాకు హేయుడు. ఆ హేయము లైన వాటినిబట్టి నీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా నీ యెదుటనుండి ఆ జనములను వెళ్లగొట్టుచున్నాడు.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.


13 నీవు నీ దేవుడైన యెహోవా యొద్ద యథార్థపరుడవై యుండవలెను.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.








Prospering in Hard Times


మలాకీ - Malachi 3


10 నా మందిరములో ఆహారముండునట్లు పదియవభాగమంతయు మీరు నా మందిరపు నిధిలోనికి తీసికొనిరండి; దీని చేసి మీరు నన్ను శోధించినయెడల నేను ఆకాశపువాకిండ్లను విప్పి,పట్టజాలనంత విస్తారముగా దీవెనలు కుమ్మరించెదనని సైన్యములకు అధిపతియగు యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చుచున్నాడు.


10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive.

How Faith Works


I believe this is a simple but good illustration of 'faith' that seems to be mysterious concept/truth to many.


Amish Tripathi: Shiva Triology


Based on my own life experience so far, I agree with some things that Amish says but disagree with some.

But his pursuit for truth, purpose and meaning in life appears to be sincere. I pray that he finds it.

John 8
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Luke 11
9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 
10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 If a son asks for bread[d] from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

Its's been promised in the scripture, so continue Asking and Seeking your CREATOR and He will show you the TRUTH which inturn will give you TRUE freedom.





His writing seems to be definitely 'inspired', Inspired by whom?..something to think about.



Here's another example of hearing (or being inspired) from the spiritual realm. Note the parallels or common items between this and the above video

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 అందుచేతను మీరు ఆపద్దినమందు వారిని ఎదిరించుటకును, సమస్తము నెరవేర్చినవారై నిలువ బడుటకును శక్తిమంతులగునట్లు, దేవుడిచ్చు సర్వాంగ కవచమును ధరించుకొనుడి

What is Truth?



యోహాను - John 18
37 అందుకు పిలాతునీవు రాజువా? అని ఆయనను అడుగగా యేసు-నీవన్నట్టు నేను రాజునే; సత్యమునుగూర్చి సాక్ష్యమిచ్చుటకు నేను పుట్టితిని; ఇందు నిమిత్తమే యీ లోకమునకు వచ్చితిని; సత్యసంబంధియైన ప్రతివాడును నా మాట వినుననెను.
యెషయా 32:1 37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voic
38 అందుకు పిలాతుసత్యమనగా ఏమిటి? అని ఆయనతో చెప్పెను. అతడు ఈ మాట చెప్పి బయటనున్న యూదుల యొద్దకు తిరిగి వెళ్లి అతనియందు ఏ దోషమును నాకు కనబడలేదు;
38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

By his stripes we are healed




యెషయా - Isaiah 53
4 నిశ్చయముగా అతడు మన రోగములను భరించెను మన వ్యసనములను వహించెను అయినను మొత్తబడినవానిగాను దేవునివలన బాధింపబడినవానిగాను శ్రమనొందినవానిగాను మనమతనిని ఎంచితివిు.

If you need supernatural healing! for what ever sickness you are suffering from


This biblical TRUTH is what broke the bondage of a sickness (CFS) that I had for 15+ years.. looking back.

Health is something everyone wants. Billions of dollars are spent each year trying to retain or restore health. It is a basic desire of all mankind. Anyone who likes sickness must be mentally sick! Yet, religion has told us that God is the one who wants us sick. It even tries to make us believe that sickness is a blessing. That's just not true

God wants you well.

What happens in the absence of the light of God?




Above clip is a good visualization of what happens in the absence of the light of God

See Darkness of World

 1 యోహాను - 1 John 2 11 తన సహోదరుని ద్వేషించువాడు చీకటిలో ఉండి, చీకటిలో నడుచుచున్నాడు; చీకటి అతని కన్నులకు గ్రుడ్డితనము కలుగజేసెను గనుక తానెక్కడికి పోవుచున్నాడో అతనికి తెలియదు.
11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
5 మేమాయనవలన విని మీకు ప్రకటించు వర్తమాన మేమనగాదేవుడు వెలుగై యున్నాడు; ఆయనయందు చీకటి ఎంతమాత్రమును లేదు.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.



1 యోహాను - 1 John 1 
5 మేమాయనవలన విని మీకు ప్రకటించు వర్తమాన మేమనగాదేవుడు వెలుగై యున్నాడు; ఆయనయందు చీకటి ఎంతమాత్రమును లేదు.
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.


As the glory of the light of God departs the horror of the evil one replaces it, unfathomable agony, disorder, pain, suffering.. so seek God and once you find Him, the fear of darkness of will start departing from you.


Matthew 13:49-50
49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50 and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

2 Thessalonians 1:9
9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might

Come back to the God you created you.. to the light ..to escape horror of hell. 
Here's how you can escape hell


"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" I believe Jesus experienced this separation on the cross for the sake of ALL our sins.. that were, are and will be committed by ALL of us. 

Matthew 27:45-46 
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Have you ever experienced how it feels to be separated from your creator? I believe God gave me a taste of what if feels like.. the horror. It changes your life for good. Seek the truth.. the answers that you have had all your life and you WILL find them.





Hey dayalu hum par daya karo.



हे दयालु हम पर दया करो
(Hey dayalu hum par daya karo)
 
Here's another episode of Katha Sagar from my childhood. 

(People in pursuit of truth and forgiveness from their sins)

I raise my eyes to fix my gaze on You,
    for Your throne resides in the heavens.
Just as the eyes of servants
    closely watch the hand of their masters,
Just as a maid carefully observes
    the slightest gesture of her mistress,
In the same way we look to You, Eternal One,
    waiting for our God to pour out His mercy upon us.

O Eternal One, show us Your mercy. We beg You.
    We are not strangers to contempt and pain.

वैसे ही 
हमारी आंखें हमारे परमेश्वर यहोवा की ओर उस समय तक लगी रहेंगी,

One of my favorite episode from 80's doordarshan.
 

This is GOD's message to YOU! (Yes YOU! who is reading this now :) )

You shall be richly rewarded, for 
when I was hungry, you fed Me. And 
when I was thirsty, you gave Me something to drink. 

I was alone as a stranger, and 
you welcomed Me into your homes and into your lives.  

I was naked, and 
you gave Me clothes to wear; 

I was sick, and 
you tended to My needs; 

I was in prison, and 
you comforted Me.

Even then the righteous  
will not have achieved perfect understanding and 
will not recall these things.

Righteous: 
Master, 
when did we find You hungry and give You food? 
When did we find You thirsty and slake Your thirst?  
When did we find You a stranger and welcome You in, or find You naked and clothe You?
When did we find You sick and nurse You to health
When did we visit You when You were in prison?


King{Jesus/God}: 
I tell you this: 
whenever you saw a brother or sister hungry or cold
whatever you did to 
the least of these, 
so you did to Me.

Matthew 25:35-40The Voice (VOICE)

प्रभु परमेश्वर के प्यारे वो तुज से कह रहा है (हा तुजही से जो अभी यह पद रहा है :) )

क्योंकि मैं भूखा था, और
तुम ने मुझे खाने को दिया;

मैं प्यासा था, और
तुम ने मुझे पानी पिलाया,

मैं पर देशी था,
तुम ने मुझे अपने घर में ठहराया।

मैं नंगा था,
तुम ने मुझे कपड़े पहिनाए;

मैं बीमार था,
तुम ने मेरी सुधि ली,

मैं बन्दीगृह में था,
तुम मुझ से मिलने आए।

तब धर्मी उस को उत्तर देंगे कि हे
प्रभु, हम ने कब तुझे भूखा देखा और खिलाया? या प्यासा देखा, और पिलाया?

हम ने कब तुझे पर देशी देखा और
अपने घर में ठहराया या नंगा देखा, और
कपड़े पहिनाए?

हम ने कब तुझे बीमार या बन्दीगृह में देखा और
तुझ से मिलने आए?

तब राजा उन्हें उत्तर देगा;
मैं तुम से सच कहता हूं,
कि तुम ने जो मेरे इन
छोटे से छोटे भाइयों में से किसी
एक के साथ किया,
वह मेरे ही साथ किया।

Really like the title track of Katha Sagar. Last two minutes of the above video.

Spiritual warfare is like this

Spiritual warfare is something like this. Which side are you on? Decide today(don't wait) as that decision is the difference between eternal life with God or eternal death (separation from Him)




  • Ephesians 6:12
    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

  • Choose to be reconnected or restored back to the the Creator that created you for an everlasting relationship.

  • Salvation is a free gift available to all who don't know(have a personal relationship) with their creator. Romans 5:18
    Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life

  • Once you truly know your creator He will take care of you in all situations(however impossible they might seem) of the rest of your life on this planet and for ever more.

Virtual world warfare vs Real world warfare



Virtual world games are fine but, believe me.. engaging the real world  and the real spiritual warfare is much much more exciting and satisfying than a virtual one. Try it and see for yourself..


Question: "What does the Bible say about spiritual warfare?"Click here for an Answer

Prayer is not a mysterious practice reserved only for clergy and the religiously devout.





"Prayer is not a mysterious practice reserved only for clergy and the religiously devout. Prayer is simply communicating with God—listening and talking to him. Believers can pray from the heart, freely, spontaneously, and in their own words. If prayer is a difficult area for you, learn these basics principles of prayer and how to apply them in your life."

Bible calles us to pray..
మత్తయి - Matthew 6 
7 మరియు మీరు ప్రార్థన చేయునప్పుడు అన్యజనులవలె వ్యర్థమైన మాటలు వచింపవద్దు; విస్తరించి మాటలాడుట వలన తమ మనవి వినబడునని వారు తలంచుచున్నారు;
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
