Ancient ayurvedic healers identified dozens of causes that can bring eyes to grief. Among them were:

• Misuse of the eyes-straining too much, concentrating too hard on minute objects, or looking too far in the distance constantly.
• Injury.
• Excessive anger, jealousy, or negative feelings. (Echoing the thought that the eyes mirror the soul).
• Suppression of natural urges like hunger, thirst, sleep, and the need to cry.
• Suppression or neglect of sleep. Also, changes in one's regular sleep/wake routine.Therefore, ayurveda has a different way of looking at eye problems. It sees them as the result of disturbed dosha-balance.

You should have a desire to experience the something by which the whole world is running.

To experience this through your prayers, there should be total involvement. If the mind is preoccupied elsewhere, then that is no prayer at all.

A beautiful Krishna bhajan from movie Narsi Bhagat (1957), sung by Hemant Kumar, Sudha Malhotra and Manna Dey. Music is by Ravi.

Narsi Mehta’s favourite raga was Kedar, which he used to communicate with Krishna.

Lyrics

दर्शन दो घनश्याम, नाथ मोरी अंखियां प्यासी रे

मन मंदिर की ज्योति जगा दो घट घट वासी रे

दर्शन दो घनश्याम, नाथ मोरी अंखियां प्यासी रे

मंदिर मंदिर मूरत तेरी

फिर भी ना दीखे सूरत तेरी

युग बीते, ना आई मिलन की पूरनमासी रे

दर्शन दो घनश्याम, नाथ मोरी अंखियां प्यासी रे

द्वार दया का जब तू खोले

पंचम स्वर में गूंगा बोले

अंधा देखे, लंगड़ा चल कर पंहुचे काशी रे

दर्शन दो घनश्याम, नाथ मोरी अंखियां प्यासी रे

पानी पी कर प्यास बुझाऊं

नैनों को कैसे समझाऊं

आंख मिचौली छोड़ो अब तो

मन के वासी रे

दर्शन दो घनश्याम, नाथ मोरी अंखियां प्यासी रे

This flower is blooming in my garden, though I don’t know the name. I’ve seen it in shades of yellow, rust, orange, maroon, white and pink.

I call it the paper flower because of the crisp, papery texture of its petals. These make lovely dry flower arrangements. There is no need to dry the flowers. They last forever in an arrangement, minus the water.

This is a rasiya song from Braj (Vrindavan) by Prem Sakhi.
