Kids’ Duet - Maadu meikkum kanne - Sridevi Nrithyalaya - Bharathanatyam ...




 

8 year old Arshita Murugadoss and 6 year old Maya Swaminathan enacts Yashoda & Krishna in the popular song "Maadu Meikkum Kanne..."


https://youtu.be/fl-J4qyQfC0

This song is an engaging dialogue between child Krishna and Yashoda.

As Krishna excitedly asks his mother if he could go and tend to the cattle, Yashoda denies him permission. She offers him butter, milk and sugar coated sweets and asks him not to go out in the scorching heat.

However, Krishna rejects all her offers and instead tells her that he will happily tend to the cows and come back home in a jiffy.

Then, mother Yashoda tries to convince him saying that there are wild animals in the mountains which might scare him when he goes there with his cows. Krishna smartly replies that the animals will approach him fondly and assures his mother that he will hunt them down if they come in large numbers to attack him.

As Yashoda gives him more and more reasons to not go out, Krishna cooks up intelligent replies to all that. Finally, child Krishna manages to convince his mother that he will safely go with his herd of cows and come back home quickly.

Maadu Meikkum Kanne... beautifully sung by Sri Srikanth Gopalakrishnan & Choreographed by Dr. Sheela Unnikrishnan.

Alan watts on Lao Tzu and the Tao Te Ching

 Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text written around 400 BC and traditionally credited to the sage Laozi. 

The text's authorship, date of composition and date of compilation are debated. 

The oldest excavated portion dates back to the late 4th century BC, but modern scholarship dates other parts of the text as having been written—or at least compiled—later than the earliest portions of the Zhuangzi.

Unwavering Focus | Dandapani | TEDxReno

https://youtu.be/4O2JK_94g3Y

We become good at what we practice and most of us are experts at practicing distraction. We live in a society that trains us to multi-task and jump from one thing to another in an uncontrolled way. The great panacea for a world plagued by distraction is learning and practicing the art of concentration. Living as a Hindu monk for 10 years Dandapani was trained in understanding the mind. There he learned and practiced the fine art of bringing concentration into everyday life.  In this talk, Dandapani will share spiritual tools to learn to create unwavering focus in our lives and the boundless benefits that result from it.

Dandapani is a Hindu priest, speaker on self-development and an entrepreneur.

ATTACHMENT





...if you keep insisting on being attached to the illusions of a self, to greed, hatred and delusion, all you’re going to ever get at the end...

~Ajahn Sumedho

 Go as deeply as you can 

Into life

and you will be able to let go

Even of blossoms.
