If I had another Janmam

[Guest guest]

HARI AUM

 

A very common question: “If you had another Janmam (life),

how do you like to live it?

If I get another Janmam in the same situations, I can think

of 100 ways of living a far better and fruitful life. I will be able to avoid many wrong doings and wrong decisions

that happened in this life and I am sure I will be able to lead a far better

life in a very similar surroundings!

 

Another life: whether possible or not is not within our

knowledge or control - we can only dream of it. And for dreams even sky need not be a limit! A nice pastime - day dreaming – to some

extent it is not bad.

 

Let us think of something more probable and positive, within

our reach – another day! A very

positive and certain thing! I can

assure you. Don’t agree? If not come

back to me for the answer. Yesterday is gone: today is also going. Let us be better prepared to lead a far

better tomorrow.

If there is a tomorrow I would like to live like this:

problem. Anyway, I am attaching a PDF

Mount on a powerful tusker (male elephant) – and go your way.

Some prayers by great saints regarding future janmas:O Lord Mukunda! I bow down

my head to Your Lordship and respectfully ask You to fulfill this one

desire of mine: that in each of my future births I will, by Your

Lordship's mercy, always remember and never forget Your lotus feet.O Lord Hari, it is not to be

saved from the dualities of material existence or the grim tribulations

of the KumbhÄ«pÄka hell that I pray to Your lotus feet. Nor is my

purpose to enjoy the soft-skinned beautiful women who reside in the

gardens of heaven. I pray to Your lotus feet only so that I may

remember You alone in the core of my heart, birth after birth.O my Lord! I have no attachment for religiosity, or for accumulating

wealth, or for enjoying sense gratification. Let these come as they

inevitably must, in accordance with my past deeds. But I do pray for

this most cherished boon: birth after birth, let me render unflinching

devotional service unto Your two lotus feet. - [Kulasekhara Alwar in Mukunda Mala Stotra (3,4,5)]O almighty Lord, I have no desire to accumulate wealth, nor do I

desire beautiful women, nor do I want any number of followers. I only

want Your causeless devotional service birth after birth. - [Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in SikshAshtakam (4)]now coming to the more logical conclusion of Poonthanam in Jnanapana:enthinu vrithaa kaalam kaLayunnu ?vaikuNTHAthinu pOykkoLvinellaarum !!!Regards,-sriram--- On Fri, 1/15/10, NBhaskaran Nair <nbnair2000 wrote:NBhaskaran Nair <nbnair2000[Guruvayur] If I had another Janmam"Guruvayur Group" <guruvayur >Cc: "Bhaskaran Nair" <nbnairFriday, January 15, 2010, 2:03 PM
