Letter to Guru Rimpoche

Dear Guru Rimpoche,

I know you have been watching me since my birth

Guru Rimpoche

You are still watching me
And you will continue to do so, with your blessings

You know what I did right and wrong
You know everything of mine
Sometimes you make me sad and sometimes happy
You put me in the trouble and take me out of it
I don’t know why I am here
I can’t make world a better place
Guru, show me the right way
Give me strength and hope
For I wanted to serve my parents better
And the world at large

Guru, please answer my prayers
And show me the light
Where, I will be good to the world
For I don’t know when I will be leaving this world
Guru, please answer my prayers
And I am here with faith, love and hope
To make the world a better place to live

Guru, I am thankful for waking me up with a new day every morning
And giving me the hope to smile, love and serve the world
Also thank you for teaching me right from wrong
Hope I will get to see you one day,
Although you walk with me wherever I go

Yours Faithfully,
Human Being
Earth

Mahasamadhi of Master Choa Kok Sui - First Time in Bhutan

Thangka of Master Choa Kok Sui

Around 50 Pranic Healers and non-Pranic Healers celebrated the Mahasamadhi of Master Choa Kok Sui (MCKS) on 19th March, 2013 at YDF, Thimphu for the first time in Bhutan.

Master Choa Kok Sui is the founder of Modern Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga. He was born on August 15, 1952 in Ceba, Philippines and his soul left his physical body (Mahasamadhi) on 19th March, 2007.

The 1st Mahasamadhi celebration was graced by Her Majesty the Queen Mother Ashi Tshering Pem Wangchuck and the Senior Pranic Healer and Trainer Mrs. Shakun Goyal from New Delhi. The event was organised beautifully which led to the generation of an exceptional divine feelings. The event was celebrated in Bhutanese style, with the lighting of 108 butter lambs, offerings and prayers. Slide shows of the Master were presented after which a song dedicated to Master and the Pranic Healing was launch; it is sang by the beautiful and renowned Bhutanese singer Mrs. Dechen Pem. As usual her songs are sung from the heart and with full dedications. Thereto, some traditional and modern Bhutanese dances were also performed.

The wishes of each and every person were noted down and then blessed. The wishes are wished to be fulfilled. Meditation on Twin Hearts was practiced by both the healers and non-healers. Its a Meditation which keeps our mind in the state of peace and divine harmony. After the meditation the energy level in the hall was just awesome, it was full of positive energies and the people in the hall seemed to glow from their faces. Some meditated for the first time and some experienced differently, whatever, meditating on the day of Mahasamadhi is so special and only those lucky ones grab it. I was indeed lucky to be the part of the celebration and it was a very different and unusual experience for me, which is of-course good for me.

The testimonials shared were so inspiring and encouraging. For sure it has changed their lives and effected them in a very positive way. I could grasp how effective Pranic Healing was! I know it did take the toll in me. All I could say now is "Wow!". I am convinced now that the Prana really does the positive effect in each and every aspects of Human life and eventually the one's soul. Pranic Healing is like a thing, which is at first, hard to believe until one gets to experience it.

I have learned that instead of mourning for the death of Master, we celebrate! For him, it is just like, his work on earth has been completed and its time for him to leave; his soul left the physical body for good and the betterment of the world.

There is Rock in Korea

I didn’t hear much about the rock scene in Korea until I watched the show ‘Rock on Korea’ on Arirang. Initially all I thought was that there is no rock, no metal in Korea. But there is rock in Korea!

It’s not that only K-Pop exists in Korea, in fact the evolution of K-Kop was triggered by the Korean rock bands of 1950’s. After the World War II, the rock music in Korea started.

The band members are old now, they hardly sing, but they listen to the modern rock music though. They were the talented guys, they learned themselves, they played for the 8^th US Army, they were the starters and they were the legends of rock and K-pop in Korea.

In 1950’s they were so famous in Korea just like the Big Bang is now. They loved to play the music by Santana and The Beatles. They are the ‘4 Add’, 'Shin Jung-hyoen' and the other band members.

The 8^th US Army in Korea was the main audience to the rock music played by the Koreans. Those armies encouraged the rock music players, where they released various albums. The albums would mostly certainly contain blend of Korean traditional and western rock music.

The bands were so perfect that even if those band members play together with Elvis Presley, they would make no mistake. That was the standard of rock scenario in 1950’s.

The younger generations tend to sing those old rock hits to the taste of modern rock music. They maintain their ancestry and try to reach those songs to the modern Korea. There are now many rock and metal bands, they rock the Koreans as K-Pop does globally.

The rock music in Korea has come a long way now and it gave birth to different genres like K-Pop. It all started with the US in Korea and now the Koreans rock US and the world with the Gangnam Style.

The statue measuring 169 feet (51.5 meters) once completed, is supposed to be the one of the worlds largest Buddha statue. The place has become popular among the Thimphu residents.

The statue covered with snow looks stunningly beautiful. Here are some of the still pictures photographed on 17th February, 2013.

Buddha Dordenma symbolizes peerless virility to bestow blessings, peace and happiness in the entire world.

This is not Buddha Dordenma! It's a stupa (Chhorten) built in 1974 in the memory of the third King of Bhutan, His Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, who is regarded as the Father of Modern Bhutan.

Palm in the Snow - Rare Combination

Thimphu was taken by surprise! Thimphu city experienced a very heavy snowfall on 17th February, 2013 after a very long time. This was the second snowfall in Thimphu, the first snowfall wasn't thick enough. The snowfall did the effect, the scenic beauty of the city was mesmerizing.
Whats taken my interest was the Palm in the snow. I have never seen it before although I got to explore more.
