THE WORLD IS MINE

THE WORLD IS MINE

Today, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman
And wished I were as beautiful.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch.
But as she passed, she passed a smile.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two legs; the world is mine.


I stopped to buy some candy.
The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him, he seemed so glad.
If I were late, it'd do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me,
"I thank you,
you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you.
You see," he said, "I'm blind."
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two eyes; the world is mine.


Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child I knew.
He stood and watched the others play,
but he did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said,
"Why don't you join them dear?"
He looked ahead without a word.
I forgot, he couldn't hear.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two ears; the world is mine.


With feet to take me where I'd go..
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine.


If this poem makes you feel thankful,
just forward it to your friends.
After all, it's just a simple reminder
that we have so much to be thankful for!

Give the gift of love.
It never comes back empty !
The cup of suffering is not the same size
for everyone!




Live simply. Love generously.
Care deeply. Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God.

Magical powers of Lord Hanuman that no one knows and ways to please him

Lord Hanuman among all Gods and Goddesses is the undying one. His form is a combination of apes and humans. Any poor man who worships Lord
Hanuman can become rich and if a rich man worships him, he too never
gets poor.

Women cant worship Lord Hanuman

There is a common saying about Lord Hanuman that women cant worship him. Indeed this is confusing. The truth is that even women can worship Lord
Hanuman, but they forbidden to pray during their menstrual cycles. 

Ma Anjani was an Apsara

It has been mentioned in Purans that the mother of Lord Hanuman, Ma Anjani, in her previous birth, was an apsara in Indra Devs darbar. Her
name was Punjiksthla. She was an ultimate beauty and her nature was very
playful. Because of this nature, she used to often offend others. One
day she offended a sage who was busy in his tapasya. 

The angry sage cursed Punjiksthla that since she keeps behaving like apes playing all the time and disturbing others, she will have to lead a
life of an ape. After being cursed, Punjiksthla realized her mistake and
asked for forgiveness from the sage. The sages anger reduced after
Punjiksthla asked for forgiveness and he said that although he cant
change his curse, but this form of her will be respected by the mankind.
Punjiksthla then took birth in  Kunjars family and her name was kept as
Anjani.

She was married to Vanarraj Kesari and they gave birth to Lord Hanuman on Shukla Purnima of Chaitra month.

Lord Shani never creates problems for the disciples of Lord Hanuman

There is a fear of Lord Shani in everybodys mind. Shanis prakop can
destry anybodys happiness. But if you are a disciple of Lord Hanuman,
you need not fear Lord Shani. This is because it has been mentioned in
Purans that once Lord Hanuman had saved life of Lord Shani and relieved
him from his problems. It is since then that Lord Shani never creates
problems to those who are disciples of Lord Hanuman. 

Meaning of Hanuman

One meaning of Hanuman is without any ego. Hanu means to kill and man means ego. Therefore, a man who has killed his ego is known as Hanuman. 

Hanuman has the powers to make him as tinier than a thumb and bigger than a mountain. He could fly in the air. This is why Lord Hanuman is known to
have magical powers. These powers are still a mystery for scientists.
Lord Hanuman was a scientist has been mentioned in Ramcharit
Manas. 

Lord Hanumans birth

According to Shastras, Lord Hanuman is a form of Lord Shiva. He was born in Vayudevs ansh and womb of Ma Anjani, who was the wife Kesari who was an
ape. Kesari and Anjani used to remain unhappy as they had no kid. On
advise of Matang rishi, Ma Anjani prayed for 12 years after which Lord
Hanuman was born.

Who was Lord Hanumans son?

As per Ramcharit Manas, Lord Hanuman had gone to Lanka in search of Goddess Sita. He was caught there by Meghnadh and was presented before
Raavan in his palace. That time Raavan had ordered to burn Lord
Hanumans tail and with his burning tail he fired the entire Lanka.
However, Lord Hanuman was in deep pain because of his burnt tail. For
some relief, he dipped his tail in the ocean. That time he was sweating
and a drop of his sweat fell into the mouth of the fish in the ocean.

After drinking Lord Hanumans sweat, the fish got pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy. His name was Makardhwaj.

Makardhwaj was equally strong and brave as Lord Hanuman. Ahiravan had appointed him at the gates of Pataal Lok. To please his presiding deity,
when Ahiravan had made Lord Rama and Lakshman captives in Pataal Lok
through a magical spell, Lord Hanuman reached there to free them. It
was then when he met his son Makardhwaj for the first time.

Makardhwaj told Lord Hanuman how he was born. Then Lord Hanuman freed Lord Rama and Lakshman and killed Ahiravan. He also made Makardhwaj the governor of Pataal Lok and asked him to follow the path of righteousness.

General rule of worshipping Lord Hanuman

On the idol of Lord Hanuman, oil and vermilion is applied. He has to be offered flowers like rose, sunflower, etc. He gets pleased when someone
reads Sunderkand or Ramayan in front of him. In sweet, Laddoo, jiggery,
chana and Guava is offered to him.

His disciples should read Hanuman Chalisa 108 times in front of him. If reading Hanuman Chalisa 108 times is not possible then it has to be read
at leat twice in a day.

Special days of Lord Hanumans puja

Worshipping Lord Hanuman on Tuesdays and Saturdays proves really beneficial. It is
said that Lord Hanuman was born on a Tuesday. He had defeated Lord Shani
in a war, which is why he was blessed by Lord Shani.
Therefore, whoever is a disciple of Lord Hanuman is never troubled by
Shani Dev.
