☆☆☆☆☆

☆ Paradoxical Veracity ☆ 

☆ ☆ 

जिनके पास अपने होते हैं,

वो अपनों से झगड़ते हैं,

नहीं है जिनका कोई अपना,

वो अपनों को तरसते हैं…

☆☆

Those who’ve their loved ones

they keep quarreling with them,

Those who’ve none of their own,

long to have the loved ones!

☆☆☆☆☆

नफरत  तक  भी

क्यूँ  करें  उससे,

उतना  भी  वास्ता

क्यूँ  कर  रखना..!

☆☆

Why  should  I 

even  hate  him,

Why be concerned

even that much..!

☆☆☆☆☆

शख़्स  बनकर  नहीं  बल्कि

    शख़्सियत बनकर जियो, दोस्त

शख़्स का इंतकाल तय है मगर

    शख़्सियत हमेशा जिन्दा रहती है

☆☆

Don’t try living as a person,

    live as a personality, friend

Death of a person is certain but

    the personality lives on forever…

☆☆☆☆☆

हमें तो लगा था कि वो

सिर्फ आज़माइश कर रहे हैं

 ये तो बाद में पता चला

वो फैसला पहले ही कर चुके थे…!

☆☆

I was under the impression that

they were just having a trial run

Later did I realise that they had

already chosen someone else…!

हिन्दी साहित्य – साप्ताहिक स्तम्भ ☆ व्यंग्य # 179 ☆ “ऐसा भी होता है…” ☆ श्री जय प्रकाश पाण्डेय ☆

By Hemant BawankarNo Comments

श्री जय प्रकाश पाण्डेय

(श्री जयप्रकाश पाण्डेय जी की पहचान भारतीय स्टेट बैंक से सेवानिवृत्त वरिष्ठ अधिकारी के अतिरिक्त एक वरिष्ठ साहित्यकार की है। वे साहित्य की विभिन्न विधाओं के सशक्त हस्ताक्षर हैं। उनके  व्यंग्य रचनाओं पर स्व. हरीशंकर परसाईं जी के साहित्य का असर देखने को मिलता है। परसाईं जी का सानिध्य उनके जीवन के अविस्मरणीय अनमोल क्षणों में से हैं, जिन्हें उन्होने अपने हृदय एवं साहित्य में  सँजो रखा है। आज प्रस्तुत है आपकी एक  विचारणीय लघुकथा – “ऐसा भी होता है...”।)

☆ लघुकथा # 180 ☆ “ऐसा भी होता है…” ☆ श्री जय प्रकाश पाण्डेय ☆

नर्मदा जी के किनारे एक श्मशान में जल रहीं हैं कुछ चिताएं। राजू ने बताया कि उनमें से बीच वाली चिता में कपाल क्रिया जो सज्जन कर रहे हैं वे फारेस्ट डिपार्टमेंट के बड़े अधिकारी हैं, इसीलिए चिता चंदन की लकड़ियों से सजाई गयी है,और उसके बाजू में जो चिता सजाई जा रही है, वह गरीबी रेखा के नीचे जीवन यापन करने वाले अति गरीब की है।

उनके लोगों का कहना है कि जितनी लकड़ियां तौलकर आटो से आनीं थीं, उसमें से बहुत सी लकड़ियां आटो वाला चुरा ले गया। किन्तु, ऐसे समय कुछ कहा नहीं जा सकता, न शिकायत की जा सकती है,  क्योंकि, आजकल लोग बात बात में दम दे देते हैं, अलसेट दे देते हैं और काम नहीं होने देते।

गरीब मर गया तो आखिरी समय भी उसके साथ गेम हो गया। गरीब के रिश्तेदारों ने बताया कि जलाने के लिए ये जो लकड़ियां ख़रीदीं गईं थीं, उसके लिए पैसे उधार लिए गए थे। इसके बाद भी गरीब का दाहसंस्कार करने के लिए तत्पर बेटे को इस बात से खुशी है कि पिताजी ने जरूर कोई पुण्य कार्य किए होंगे, तभी इतने अमीर की चिता के बाजू में स्थान मिला, और बाजू की चिता से जलती हुई चंदन की लकड़ी का धुंआ उनकी चिता को पवित्र करेगा और वैसा ही हुआ। चिता को अग्नि दी गई और हवा की दिशा बदल गई। चंदन की लकड़ी से उठता हुआ धुआं गरीब की चिता में समा गया। श्रद्धांजलि सभा में कहा गया उसने जीवन भर गरीबी से संघर्ष किया पर वो पुण्यात्मा था, तभी तो ऐसा चमत्कार हुआ।

हिन्दी साहित्य – साप्ताहिक स्तम्भ ☆ परिहार जी का साहित्यिक संसार # 54 ☆ व्यंग्य – हमारी आँख की कंकरी- भेड़ाघाट ☆ डॉ कुंदन सिंह परिहार

By Hemant Bawankar1 Comment

डॉ कुन्दन सिंह परिहार

(आपसे यह  साझा करते हुए हमें अत्यंत प्रसन्नता है कि  वरिष्ठतम साहित्यकार आदरणीय  डॉ  कुन्दन सिंह परिहार जी  का साहित्य विशेषकर व्यंग्य  एवं  लघुकथाएं  ई-अभिव्यक्ति  के माध्यम से काफी  पढ़ी  एवं  सराही जाती रही हैं।   हम  प्रति रविवार  उनके साप्ताहिक स्तम्भ – “परिहार जी का साहित्यिक संसार” शीर्षक  के अंतर्गत उनकी चुनिन्दा रचनाएँ आप तक पहुंचाते  रहते हैं।  डॉ कुंदन सिंह परिहार जी  की रचनाओं के पात्र  हमें हमारे आसपास ही दिख जाते हैं। कुछ पात्र तो अक्सर हमारे  आसपास या गली मोहल्ले में ही नज़र आ जाते हैं।  उन पात्रों की वाक्पटुता और उनके हावभाव को डॉ परिहार जी उन्हीं की बोलचाल  की भाषा का प्रयोग करते हुए अपना साहित्यिक संसार रच डालते हैं। आज  प्रस्तुत है  एक बेहतरीन व्यंग्य  ‘हमारी आँख की कंकरी- भेड़ाघाट’। यह  व्यंग्य विनम्रतापूर्वक  उन सब की  ओर से है जो दर्शनीय स्थल वाले शहरों में रहते हैं। अब इसे लिख दिया तो लिख दिया – ताकि सनद रहे और वक्त जरूरत काम आये। ऐसे अतिसुन्दर व्यंग्य के लिए डॉ परिहार जी की  लेखनी को  सादर नमन।)
☆ साप्ताहिक स्तम्भ – परिहार जी का साहित्यिक संसार  # 54 ☆

☆ व्यंग्य – हमारी आँख की कंकरी- भेड़ाघाट ☆

शुरू शुरू में भेड़ाघाट देखा तो तबियत बाग-बाग हो गयी। बड़ा रमणीक स्थान लगा। दो चार बार और देखा। फिर हुआ यह कि हमारी शादी हो गयी और हम जबलपुर में सद्गृहस्थ के रूप में स्थापित हो गये। फिर जबलपुर के बाहर से हमारे परिचित भेड़ाघाट देखने आने लगे और हमारे पास रुकने लगे। तब हमें महसूस हुआ कि वस्तुतः भेड़ाघाट उतना सुन्दर नहीं है जितना हम समझते थे। भेड़ाघाट के दर्शनार्थियों की संख्या बढ़ने के साथ उसका सौन्दर्य हमारी नज़र में निरन्तर गिरता रहा है। और अब तो यह हाल है कि कभी भेड़ाघाट जाते हैं तो ताज्जुब होता है कि इस ऊबड़खाबड़ जगह में लोगों को भला क्या सौन्दर्य नज़र आता है। मेरे खयाल से यह अनुभूति उन सभी लोगों को होती होगी जो दर्शनीय स्थानों में रहते हैं।

घर में जब कोई अतिथि आते हैं तो नाश्ते के बाद वे मुँह पोंछकर पूछते हैं, ‘हाँ भाई, जबलपुर में कौन कौन सी दर्शनीय जगहें हैं?’और मेरा कलेजा नीचे को सरक जाता है। यह भेड़ाघाट इतना प्रसिद्ध हो चुका है कि अगर मैं दाँत निकालकर कहूँ, ‘अरे भाई, जबलपुर में दर्शनीय स्थल कहाँ?’ तो पक्का लबाड़िया साबित हो जाऊँगा।

और फिर मुहल्ले के कुछ महानुभाव मेरी  चलने भी कहाँ देते हैं। मुहल्ले के दुबे जी, पांडे जी या चौबे जी मेरे अतिथि को सड़क पर रोक कर परिचय प्राप्त करते हैं। फिर कहते हैं, ‘यहाँ तक आये हैं तो भेड़ाघाट ज़रूर देखिएगा, नहीं तो घर जाकर क्या बतलाइएगा?’ मेरा मन होता है कि पांडे जी से कहूँ कि महाराज,वे घर जाकर जो कुछ भी बतायें, लेकिन मैं उनके जाने के बाद आपको ज़रूर कुछ बताऊँगा। और मैंने कई बार ऐसे उत्साही लोगों की खबर भी ली है, लेकिन सवाल यह है कि संसार में किस किस मुँह पर ढक्कन लगाऊँ?

मैं कई लोगों को भेड़ाघाट के प्रभाव के विरुद्ध संघर्ष करते और हारते देखता हूँ। एक मित्र के घर पहुँचता हूँ तो वहाँ अतिथि देवता विराजमान हैं। स्वल्पाहार के बाद वे मित्र से पूछते हैं, ‘हाँ,तो आज दिन का क्या प्रोग्राम है?’ मित्र महोदय दाँत भींचकर उत्तर देते हैं, ‘आज तो भोजन के बाद छः घंटे निद्रा ली जाए। ‘ अतिथि देव सिर हिलाकर हँसते हैं, कहते हैं, ‘उड़ो मत। मैं भेड़ाघाट देखे बिना नहीं मानूँगा। ‘ मित्र भी हँसता है, लेकिन उसकी हँसी देखकर मुझे रोना आता है।

भेड़ाघाट ने जबलपुर वालों की खटिया वैसे ही खड़ी कर रखी है जैसे ताजमहल ने आगरा वालों की खाट खड़ी कर रखी है। नगर निगम वालों ने हमारी मुसीबत लंबी करने के लिए भेड़ाघाट में नौका-विहार की व्यवस्था कर दी है। उस दिन राय साहब रोने लगे। बोले, ‘भैया, कल मेहमानों को भेड़ाघाट ले गया था। डेढ़ हजार रुपया समझो नर्मदा जी में डूब गया। अब खजुराहो देखने की जिद कर रहे हैं। बहकाने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ, लेकिन सफलता की आशा कम है। ‘ उन्होंने ऐसी निश्वास छोड़ी कि मेरी कमीज़ थरथरा गयी।

अब पछताता हूँ कि कहाँ दर्शनीय स्थल वाली नगरी में फँस गया। मैं तो भारत सरकार से गुज़ारिश करना चाहता हूँ कि भेड़ाघाट को कहीं दिल्ली के पास स्थानांतरित कर दिया जाए ताकि जबलपुर वालों का यह ‘तीरे नीमकश’ निकल जाए  और शहर को राहत का अहसास हो। हम सरकार बहादुर के बेहद मशकूर होंगे।

योग-साधना LifeSkills/जीवन कौशल ☆ Laughter Yoga Learning Video in Hindi ☆ Shri Jagat Singh Bisht

आइये सीखें – हास्य योग कैसे करें?
How to do Laughter Yoga? Tutorial in Hindi

आइये, पहले यह विडियो देख लें:

आइये सीखें – हास्य योग कैसे करें? How to do Laughter Yoga? Tutorial in Hindi

(विडियो देखने के लिए कृपया उपरोक्त लिंक पर क्लिक करें)

हास्य-योग करने की शुद्ध विधि इस विडियो में सुन्दर व सरल ढंग से समझायी गयी है. इसे देखकर आप सही ढंग से हास्य-योग करना सीख सकते हैं और सिखा सकते हैं. हास्य-योग के चार चरणों को इस विडियो में समझाया गया है. ये चार चरण हैं:

१. ताली बजाना
२. गहरी सांस
३. बच्चों की तरह मस्ती
४. हास्य व्यायाम

This video explains in a simple and beautiful manner how to do Laughter Yoga in the correct manner. After watching this video, you can learn and teach the four basic steps of Laughter Yoga.
The four steps of Laughter Yoga are:

1. Clapping and chanting
2. Deep breathing
3. Child like playfulness
4. Laughter Exercises

हास्य-योग बिना किसी कारण हंसी और प्राणायाम का मिश्रण है. कोई भी बिना चुटकुलों के, यहाँ सिर्फ हास्य व्यायामों के माध्यम से देर तक लगातार हंस सकते हैं. बच्चों की तरह मस्ती और नज़रें मिलने से हंसी वास्तविक हंसी में परिवर्तित हो जाती है और एक-दूसरे की देखा-देखी सब खुलकर हंसने लगते हैं.

Laughter Yoga is a unique concept of prolonged voluntary laughter created by an Indian physician Dr Madan Kataria in the year 1995 in Mumbai. We begin laughter as an exercise and it soon becomes contagious by eye contact and childlike playfulness.

हास्य-योग के इस ट्रेनिंग सत्र का सञ्चालन कर रही हैं श्रीमती राधिका बिष्ट, लाफ्टर एम्बेसडर व लाफ्टर योग मास्टर ट्रेनर. वे लाइफ स्किल्स – जीवन कौशल – की संस्थापक हैं.

This video is excerpted from 2-day Certified Laughter Yoga Leader training conducted in Indore on the 10th and 11th of July 2015 by Radhika Bisht and Jagat Singh Bisht, Certified Laughter Yoga Master Trainers and assisted by Sai Kumar Mudaliar, Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher.

☆ Laughter Yoga Learning Video for the Beginners ☆

This is a laughter yoga learning video for those who would like to lead laughter yoga sessions on their own. Especially those who have attended a session or two of Laughter Yoga and are fascinated by the concept. This video will give them all the basics in the right perspective and enable them to be good Laughter Yoga anchors/ leaders/ teachers.

It is one of the most beautiful and simple videos on the topic and has been watched widely the world over. Many Laughter Yoga leaders/ teachers have learned and benefited from it.

LINK TO THE VIDEO:

Probationary/ Trainee Officers from all over India come to State Bank Foundation Institute (Chetana), Indore on a regular basis for their initial grooming. All of them have a brief tryst with Laughter Yoga during their stay here. Some days ago, Shiva Prasad K and Barane Tharan expressed desire to conduct laughter sessions on their own when they are back home. They organized a brief learning session encompassing the 4 basic steps of laughter yoga and videographed it. Hope, this video will be useful for all those who have attended a laughter yoga session or two and wish to conduct laughter sessions on their own. Love and Laughter..

योग-साधना LifeSkills/जीवन कौशल ☆ Laughter Yoga at Nestle Nutrition Quality College ☆ Shri Jagat Singh Bisht & Smt Radhika Bisht

☆ Laughter Yoga at Nestle Nutrition Quality College ☆

We conducted a session of Laughter Yoga followed by Laughter Meditation and Guided Relaxation at the Nestle Nutrition Quality College 2013, Samalkha, India. It included delegates from the Nestle head-quarters at Vevey, Switzerland, Sweden and zone Asia-Oceania-Africa countries including China, Singapore, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and India.

The participants felt deeply relaxed and cheerful after the session. One of them expressed, “There is a lot of stress in professional life. We laugh very rarely. Laughter Yoga is an amazing way to play and energize. It can do wonders at the workplace.” Another participant shared, “I thought I am not going to laugh as I do not laugh often. After initial clapping and chanting, my inhibitions had gone away and I started laughing freely. I don’t remember when I laughed like this last time.”

Last year, we were invited by Nestle India Limited to conduct Laughter Yoga at their Safety-Health-Environment workshop for zone Asia-Oceania-Africa at Marriott Resort, Goa. A few months ago, Jagat conducted three sessions of Laughter Yoga for the staff of Nestle factory at Samalkha, India. Nestle’s continuous engagement with Laughter Yoga is an indication of the deep value and utility discovered by the corporate world in Laughter Yoga.

योग-साधना LifeSkills/जीवन कौशल ☆ Laughter Yoga with Abercrombie & Kent ☆ Shri Jagat Singh Bisht

☆ Laughter Yoga with Abercrombie & Kent ☆

Abercrombie & Kent, the world’s leading authority on luxury and experiential travel, has discovered great value in Laughter Yoga.

Their Executive Vice President Simon Laxton is looking at ways to bring this concept to their annual Las Vegas ‘highest level’ meeting and also the London one. Their Managing director of India, Vikram Madhok, has expressed an interest in using Laughter Yoga for cruise line tours and as part of their India Cultural Lecturer program.

Dr Madan Kataria, the founder of Laughter Yoga movement, deputed us from Indore to showcase Laughter Yoga before senior level executives of Abercrombie & Kent at the picturesque city of Udaipur. Twenty-six delegates had gathered at Hotel Leela Palace Kempinski on the beautiful Pichola lake for their cruise conference 2013.

One of the delegates exclaimed on the completion of the laughter session, “In the beginning, it seemed a bit crazy. Then we started enjoying it. Now, we love it! It was simply fantastic!! We are feeling as free as birds in the sky..”

Another delegate shared his experience thus, “Two simple things that we learned just now – breathing and laughing from our diaphragm – have made us feel so light and relaxed. It’s a great feeling.”

This is what their global cruise ambassador, David Vass, based in Miami, had to say a couple of days after the laughter session, “Thank you for both of your excellent energy, understanding of our group time constraints and the delicious outcome you brought to us! Everybody truly enjoyed this session, especially in the middle of ‘budget day’! We referenced the Laughter yoga techniques throughout the remainder of the conference – making milkshakes, being an elephant and so many of the other happy little bits you supplied us with.”

योग-साधना LifeSkills/जीवन कौशल ☆ Laughter meditation is a beautiful experience ☆ Shri Jagat Singh Bisht

By Hemant BawankarNo Comments

Shri Jagat Singh Bisht

(Master Teacher: Happiness & Well-Being, Laughter Yoga Master Trainer, Author, Blogger, Educator and Speaker.)

☆ Laughter meditation is a beautiful experience ☆

Have you ever had the experience of laughter meditation? It is one of the most intense and beautiful experiences that you can ever have. But you have to experience it yourself. It is a mystery. It cannot be told in words by anyone to you.

When you laugh, you forget the past. You can’t bother about the future. And, you are oblivious of the surroundings. Laughter starts to flow like a fountain. There is no laughter, it’s only laughter. The laughter mingles with laughter and they become one. It is something Divine. It is pure and pristine bliss. The mind becomes serene and radiant like the full moon.

I have got my deepest fulfillment while conducting laughter meditation. The participants feel cathartic and fully liberated. All the pain and agony has gone. It feels so good and light. There is no trace of physical, mental or emotional stress anywhere near. Every molecule of the universe is tranquil. All the blockages are cleared. Consciousness flows happily and freely. You become a part of the joyous cosmic dance. A sufi inside you starts singing the most enchanting melodies.

Laughter opens a beautiful door to transcendence. Laughter meditation is a state of no mind. Complete mindlessness. But it is total existence. You have a feel of totality for the first time. It is a paradise that you can create on your own. Anytime, anywhere.

According to Dr Madan Kataria, the founder of laughter yoga, “ Laughter meditation is the purest kind of laughter and a very cathartic experience that opens up the layers of your subconscious mind and you will experience laughter from deep within.”

In some of the Zen monasteries, every monk has to start his morning with laughter, and has to end his night with laughter – the first and the last thing every day. Says Osho, “ If you become silent after your laughter, one day you will feel God also laughing, you will hear the whole existence laughing – trees and stones and stars with you!”

I recommend laughter meditation for all those who face a lot of stress at the workplace. It is also beneficial for students and homemakers.

योग-साधना LifeSkills/जीवन कौशल ☆ Laughter Yoga – Touching Human Lives ☆ Shri Jagat Singh Bisht

By Hemant BawankarNo Comments

Shri Jagat Singh Bisht

(Master Teacher: Happiness & Well-Being, Laughter Yoga Master Trainer, Author, Blogger, Educator and Speaker.)

Laughter Yoga – Touching Human Lives

(After a day’s break योग-साधना / LifeSkills is back with the amazing Laughter Yoga’s journey and experiments in Laughter Yoga of Shri Jagat Singh Bisht and Smt. Radhika Bisht.)

During the last hundred days, we (my wife Radhika and me) have laughed with more than a thousand people. It has really been a life changing experience! We are now proud to have a life skill with us with which we can connect to any group of people anywhere, anytime and make them laugh unconditionally. We feel cheerful throughout the day. The life is full of joy. We have converted our bodies into factories that utilize oxygen from the atmosphere, rejuvenate each and every cell of our system and manufacture feel good endorphins. We are as healthy and energetic as one can be, touch wood, and have not taken any medication since we turned Laughter Yogis. We feel deeply fulfilled as we are instruments of happiness and health for others and are able to touch their lives with a new joyous way of life. Our lives now have a meaning and a mission – to make others happy and healthy!

(Jagat and Radhika Bisht)

I had my tryst with Laughter Yoga one fine morning in Mumbai, more than a decade ago. Dr Madan Kataria and Madhuri Kataria, the founders of laughter yoga, were leading a laughter session in Lokhandwala park. The experience was simply out of the world! I had to wait for more than a decade after that. In the month of October 2010, Radhika and myself, along with more than 20 laughter professors from all over the globe, were baptised by Dr Kataria himself at Bengaluru.We have never looked back after that..

Here are some experiences shared by the members..

Let us begin with ourselves. The pain in my knee joints is a thing of the past. I get up early in the morning every day and work till late in the night without any feeling of fatigue. Radhika doesn’t need her blood pressure pills any more and her frequents bouts of sinusitis have simply disappeared.

Many among a group of newly promoted bank officers felt nervous to face the audience in their public speaking sessions. They were asked to join laughter yoga sessions, after which they shed all their inhibitions, and gathered the courage to speak freely.

Another group was required to appear for a tough test for promotion to the next cadre. They felt tired at the day end and had no energy left to study. Those who attended laughter exercises in the morning not only improved their attention span in classes but could also study for a couple of hours more in the evenings.

An elderly businessman felt severe pain in his neck which traveled across his shoulders and back. The pain was acute and disabling. After he joined our laughter club, the pain is gone. He has developed a regular habit of getting up and going for morning walk. His wife tells us that he seldom laughed earlier and never mixed socially with people. She is pleasantly surprised at the transformation.

An income tax officer, who has retired recently, has shared that his lungs are fully cleared after the laughter session and the feeling of freshness lingers throughout the day. We get feedback of feelings of well being, energy and health on a continual basis from our member friends.

We were also invited to conduct a laughter therapy session for about 80 persons in a camp organized recently by the National Institute of Naturopathy, Pune at the Naturopathy and Yoga Research Centre, Indore. The response was overwhelming. They found such great value in this alternate therapy that they decided to honour us on the spot after going through our session. The standing ovation, with chants of Very Good Very Good Yay, lasted for more than ten minutes..

We look forward to touch many lives with joy and bliss.
