Please sign on the petiton to save Ram SethuSri Sri Ravshankar says there will

not be the end of my childhood because it is innocence, pious and holiness. True

happiness of life is to live with childhood upto the old age,h Child and man

both depend on each other and also can teach each other. Child is a shadow of

person. In every person has a little child which can be reclaimed.

 

 

Life should not be as the play of cat and rat. According to the buzz, spiritual

guru Sri Sri Ravishankar is most likely to win the Nobel peace prize this year

for his honorable contribution towards spreading the message of universal peace

and harmony across the globe. He says person should not make his life as the

play of cat and rat. He says films have great effect in the lives of the

children. Indian films are also following the violence theme of western

countries. In the villages people see the newsreader in suit and necktie, so

they also begin to wear the same instead of Dhoti-kurta-safa? Sri Sri is 100%

right to say this.

 

I personally experienced and write in the articles that many channel anchors

hangs in their necks kanth langot? But it does not mean by doing this they

become more intellectual.

 

There are so many shapes of Christian crosses. Necktie (Kanth langot) is one of

them. It is shaped like that to spread the message of cross. The present

government in India is doing the same by marking the Christian Cross on newly

circulated coin of Rs. 2. I know secular thinks my writing like this as

communal. But I write. Who publish and who does not publish my articles I never

want to care.

 

Child and Person both should embrace. So some one says that the man is the

father to child and another one says the child is the father to man. Artistic Jacqueline Russell spoke with author Ray Bradbury about growing up in

Waukegan, Illinois, his writing, and his novel Dandelion Wine . Below is the

transcript of their conversation.

 

JR: Do you think there are a huge difference between children today and the

child that you were in 1928?

 

RB: No, I don't think so, because children come into my life every day. .. So

I'm an old time machine now, and the children are fascinated with me because

I've written these books and because I can talk about them.

 

JR: I read in your biography was about how you are always in touch with the

child within yourself. How do you keep that child within you so alive?

 

RB: Well, let me give you an example. I put on this play 30 years ago and at the

end of the play, a young man came out of the theatre crying and he couldn't stop

because the play did that to him, and he was so touched because I'd taken him

back to his childhood and I had to hold onto him because he couldn't stop

crying. That's what the play is about; it's about me as an older man, talking to

my younger self. The most important scene in the play is the scene in the end

where the boy discovers that the older man is Douglas Spaulding grown old, and

he is the younger Douglas Spaulding. The two of them are there and they embrace

because they need each other. The old man needs to the young boy to rediscover

life.

 

Quotes Childhood is a shadow of manhood

 

" A child is a person who is going to carry on what you have started. He is going

to sit where you are sitting, and when you are gone; attend to those things,

which you think are important. You may adopt all the policies you please, but

how they are carried out depends on him. He will assume control of your cities,

states and nations. He is going to move in and take over your churches, schools,

universities, and corporations. All your books are going to be judged, praised

or condemned by him. The fate of humanity is in his hands. " Abraham Lincoln.

 

Here are few other quotes on Childhood

 

In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

 

The great man is he who does not lose his child's-heart. ~ Mencius, Book IV

 

O men, grown sick with toil and care,

Leave for awhile the crowded mart;

O women, sinking with despair,

Weary of limb and faint of heart,

Forget your years to-day and come

As children back to childhood's house.

~ Phoebe Cary

 

Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present, which very few of

us do. ~ Jean de la Bruyere

 

Reclamation of own and others childhood

 

Reconciliation of own childhood is easier than the reconciliation of others.

Harivansh Rai Bachchan, father of Big B wrote poetry book on madhushala? Though

he himself was not drinker. Blind Soordas imagination of Krishna÷Õ childhood is

still more wonderful than the Seven Wonders of the World. Late poetess Mahadvi

Verma never saw mirror but her poems on the beauty are still extra ordinary. It

means reconciliation of childhood is not impossible. It can be obtained.

 

Reclaiming Your Childhood

 

In every man and woman, no matter how old you are, there is a little child that

still lives within you. It is the child you were at one point. However, you grew

up faster than that inner child did for many reasons, and so it is still at the

age it was when you last made contact with it.

 

That child within you still carries old beliefs and things it experienced that

still stay with you to this very day. Healing those experiences, voices, and

beliefs of the child within takes time and is very deep work, but it is very

well worth it.

If you have the desire to reclaim the child within you, hold your imaginary

hand as you reclaim the child within.

* Reconnecting to your innate nature--joy, play, innocence, and creativity,

Divinity.

* Working with your angels on forgiveness and releasing of the past.

* Learning to rekindle your imagination.

* Tools and tips to reframe beliefs--and have fun in the process.

 

Tolstoy saw Child within Man

Leo Tolstoycreated his own tender world of childhood and youth, which his most

positive child-like characters (Pierre Bezukhov and Natasha Rostova, for

example) keep inside them, while they are passing through such temptations and

tragic experience of life as war, while they are growing spiritually. For

Tolstoy, childhood means innocence, openness for sentiments, natural earthly

love. But as Man grows in Tolstoy's works, he obtains wisdom and love towards

enemies, and finally becomes " wise as serpents, and harmless as doves? " (Mathew,

10, 17). Tolstoy, therefore, saw Child within Man .

 

Andrei Bely and William Golding: Revive the child inside onefs mind

An encounter with oneself as Baby or Child is the major theme in the two

novels under discussion: Kotik Letaev by Andrei Bely and Free Fall by William

Golding. The narrator in both presents Man in the dialogue with his own

Childhood, with the Child inside him. The voices of the child and of the adult

are either fused, or sound as talk. It is an attempt to revive the child inside

one's mind. On the one hand, the author is the Child and the Adult, the two in

one, - the way the Holy Infant looks in the icons. On the other, both novels

show how the Enlightenment idea of childhood, as a different world, grew in to a

huge generation gap between Childhood and Manhood. Bely and Golding give two

absolutely different, a very Russian, and a very Western perspective of that

gap.
