ENTERTAINMENT in MODE of GOODNESS.

Few weeks ago we went to see an Indian musical cultural event organized by Aiana Elite Cultural Club of NJ. The program was conducted by Tushar Shukla a poetry writer with rich, romantic, soothing, elegant, humorous and eloquent Gujarati language. Melodious singing performed by Sanjay Oza, his son Parth Oza and Mitali Mahant. Theme of event was 'Saji Sol Re Shangar' means Women getting ready with ornaments and all kind of makeup from head to toes while going to divine Navaratri festival or at the time of wedding or any other good occasion. Varieties of Gujarati Lok-Geet and Hindi filmy songs were sung by the team appropriate to the occasions to appreciate women’s beauty. Wife or any woman have her own inner beauty but looks more beautiful with ornaments and other makeup. Her beauty will glow on her face, will be seen in her eyes and speak in her smile if appreciated by Husband or Man. Yes sense of appreciation has lot of positive power. Truly speaking whole program was joyful , pleasant, romantic & refreshing “Entertainment in Mode of Goodness”.....as per audience’s taste and liking.
Life is all about likes and dislikes. If we observe our life from childhood we like certain kind of things according to our taste that depends on our personality or mentality. 

There are three kind of Material Modes described in Scriptures that explained our Mentality and things surrounding us. Everything in this world classified according to these three Modes of Material nature....like our Life style, Food we eat, Clothes we were, Movies we watch, Music we hear or any other Entertainment we enjoy , Things we post on Social Media, Home we live in, Company we keep, Our habits, Quality of Language we speak, Surrounding Environment we live in, How do we react & act with others....etc.....yes each & everything classified in three Modes of Material nature. 

Introspect your Personality or Mode. MODE of GOODNESS is the best personality to cultivate to live our life. Behavior in Mode of Goodness will make you & others happy. We can appreciate everything around us....but at a same time with our sense of discrimination we should know what is good or bad for my spiritual growth. Life is about changing ourselves not surrounding us. 

Bg 14.5 — Material nature consists of three modes – goodness, passion and ignorance. When the eternal living entity comes in contact with nature, O mighty-armed Arjuna, he becomes conditioned by these modes.

Bg 14.6 — O sinless one, the mode of goodness, being purer than the others, is illuminating, and it frees one from all sinful reactions. Those situated in that mode become conditioned by a sense of happiness and knowledge.

MY SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION & SOURCE:

I am inspired to hear & read Vedic Scriptures & other philosophy by regularly hearing Sri Pandurang Shashtri Athvale known as Dadaji ( speak on Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Veda based discourses & western philosophy ) and association of Swadhyay Parivar every Sunday in Swadhya Kendra. 

I also hear and read everyday the discourses & literature on Vedic thoughts from Srila Prabhupada, his disciples & grand disciples ( HH Bhakti Rasamitra Swami, HH Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu, Sutapa Das, Amarnath Dasa, HH Bhakticharu Swami, Urmila Devi Dasi, HH Sivarama Swami, HH Radhanath Swami, Lal Govind Prabhu ( Gujarati & Hindi) Prahalad Maharaj in Surat (Gujarati) .......and many more from ISKCON......). 

FYI: Good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com ( Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures ). Hearing & reading these scriptures, Eating Sanctified Pure Food and Chanting Vedic Mantra daily are purifying to our senses, nourishing to our heart ( Soul ), transcendental to our consciousness and uplifting to our emotions.

It is always good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. I am posting articles based on Vedic scriptures and expressing my opinion, thoughts, understanding & emotions. Writing/sharing the articles is my Devotion to God/Gita/Guru. Of course I use Smartphone, Google, Pexels search to collect some data. Thanks to Facebook & Social media for providing me the platform.

Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE.

Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of Guru & God ( Krishna , Absolute Truth ).

NOTE:
I use the word Hearing instead of Listening when it comes to Scriptures. Because Scriptures are so potent that simply by Hearing them even if you don’t try to interpret or analyze or understand them still there will be passive positive effects on our mind & senses.

We can follow either Quran, Bible, Jainism, Buddhism, Gita or any other Philosophy that makes sense to us, purify us , elevate our consciousness and qualify us to understand the God and instill the love for God & his creation. ( whichever way we can understand the God, Form or Formless..or Universal Consciousness or Energy ...etc ).

Don’t try to understand God by Name, Religion & Depiction ( means image, picture...etc ) but try to understand him by Definition through Scriptures. Transcendental subjects of God & his creation can not be understand by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why circle is circular? Just by definition circle is circular similarly by definition God is unborn, complete, unlimited, infinite, eternal, the Absolute Truth the source of everything, cause of all causes. 

I see the God besides above mention qualities as a eternal living person ( not a abstract or some kind of light ) known by name Krishna means who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, form, abode, many incarnation, activities, qualities, associates, full of wisdom, bliss, cause of all causes.
