ॐ भूर्भुव: स्व: तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं । भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि, धीयो यो न: प्रचोदयात् ।।
Welcome to Govind Dham
jag to andhakaar hai, is se tu nikal...
gyan kaa prakash kar, mod tu samabhal...
Radha Krishan ke charan main nitya kar naman...
Man to mandir hai... haridaya hai varindavan....
When the intellectual curiosity has been satiated, when there are no more questions to be asked, when all the spiritual knowledge cataloged and presented in flowery prose by the learned people has been scanned, dissected and assimilated; without the person being able to still the tidal waves of his psyche, it is then that the mental speculation gives way to the practice of ‘Bhakti’. It is then that the intellect surrenders to the divine in a spirit of devotion. It is then that the man’s ascent to a spiritual life begins.
A person introduces an element of ‘Bhakti’ in his life with his very first visit to a temple. When he gets there, the person does not have to recite any prayers, he does not even have to utter a single word, for the Lord can see the devotion in his heart. Just showing up with folded hands and devotion in his heart for a Darshan - Darshan, which requires neither prayer nor commitment but rather is an act of being in His presence, an act that submerges the self in a striving for the infinite - stills the troubled waves of ones mind. About a visit to the temple, the poet says:
“kahne kee zaroorat nahin, aana hee bahut hai,
is dar pe tera sis jhukana hee bahut hai”
The practice of spirituality through devotion provides the necessary filter which takes the sting out of the harsh realities of human existence and makes life bearable.
