On the contrary, when through the breath you drop the negativity on the outside, you automatically connect to peace, joy and strength that is inside.

“Getting rid of people and situations is not the answer, but dealing with them with skill is the answer. And silence is the mother of all skills - silencing this chattering mind with a few minutes of deep meditation. Then you will see that everything changes.”- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Founder of The Art of Living

Tree plantation is just a process of planting trees, but Art Of Living PCMC team is not just planting trees here we are actually taking care of trees for minimum 3 years. The Pimpri Chinchwad team is planting trees since 2015 on large scale and now in 2021 we have started planting trees in our Bhandara Dongar.
We planed to do tree plantation seva with our SEVA COMMANDOS On Bhandara Dongar , we started planting trees on every sunday .
We are watering trees every week and 100's of volunteers are joining for tree plantation with our traditional uniform Yellow T-Shirts and white caps and giving 100% in the seva.
Now a days when we go for a long drive we see that there are less trees in our City, Taluka, District and overall in the whole state . Imagine if there are no trees , there will be no oxygen, no fresh air, no birds cheerping, no rain, no ecosystem and there will be pollution every where So every individual should take a sankalp to plant atleast one tree every year.
BHANDARA DONGAR
Sant Tukaram used to visit different hills for Bhajan (Devotional song with religious theme or spiritual ideas), The family of Tukaram Maharaj was also Unaware of where he went, as he prefers not to tell anyone where he is going. One day Tukaram Maharaj is performing Bhajan with deep devotion and that day The Maratha king Shree. Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj came for a visit on the hill. Sant Tukaram was very happy to see him there. Then he asked his followers to serve Shivaji Maharaj with food but Shivaji Maharaj said how can I eat? my 700 soldiers are waiting for me downside they also not ate anything, they are also hungry. I can’t eat keeping them in hunger.
The magic happened then Sant Tukaram Maharaj said to call them all for having food. MaharajShivaji Raje said how can you feed 700 soldiers? You don’t have enough food inventory. Tukaram Maharaj said just call them here. Shivaji Maharaj called them all. All sat and empty dishes put in front of them and Tukaram Maharaj asked them to make a wish of food they wanna have. Everyone asked for different dishes and due to power in the devotion of Saint Tukaram, they all got served with food of their wish. So the process of arranging food at devotional Places is generally called Bhandara.
As on that day, Tukaram Maharaj fed Shivaji Maharaj and his 700 soldiers. So you can call it a big sized Bhandara. So from the day when great Maratha King Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj had food on the hill its got its name “Bhandara Dongar” (Bhandara Hill).
Mountain of Bhambanatha
It is true that SantTukaram, who was in his twenties, was interviewed on the hill of Bhambanatha. But this revelation was not in the form of spirituality, but in the form of social justice.
Bhambnath hill is near Dehu, the residence of Tukaram Maharaj. Saint Tukaram was enlightened at this place and there are some other places of interest like Tukaram Temple - Gatha Temple.

Who is shiva??
Who is Shiva? Is he someone sitting somewhere? What is Shiva? Is that a special state? No! Shiva is not a person sitting in the sky.
THEN WHO IS SHIVA?
SHIVA IS THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.
Shiva is the consciousness from where everything begins, where everything is nourished and in which everything merges. You are never outside 'Shiva' because the whole creation exists in Shiva. Your mind, body, everything is made up of Shiva element only, that's why Shiva is called 'Vishwaroop' which means that the whole creation is his form.
WHAT IS SHIVA?
SHIVA IS ETERNAL.
There is a very beautiful story about Shiva. Once Brahma (creator of the universe) and Vishnu (the follower of the world) were looking for the answer to the question 'Who is Shiva?'. They wanted to know Shiva fully. So Brahma said to Vishnu- "I seek his head, you find his feet. For thousands of years Vishnu went down deep in search of Shiva's feet and Brahma reached the top looking for Shiva's head but both of them reached Only failed.
Here it means that Shiva has no beginning and end. At last they both met in the middle and came to the conclusion that they could not find Shiva. It is from here that Shivalinga came into existence. Shivalinga is a symbolic expression of Anant Shiva.
WHAT IS SHIVA?
SHIVA IS THE LIMIT OF THE ENTIRE WORLD.
The world is a confluence of opposing values. It has both positive and negative qualities. If there is fire in the universe, there is also water; If there is evil, there is also good. Shiva is present in all contrary values. That is why Shiva is called Rudra (fiery) and at the same time he is also called Bholenath. While he is called Sundaresh, he is also called Aghor (Bhayakar). In a famous prayer, Shiva is called Gauram (fiery) and in the same line he is also called Karunavatar.
WHAT IS SHIVA?
SHIVA IS A SAMADHI.
Shiva is beyond the awakening, sleeping and dream state of consciousness. Shiva is samadhi - the fourth state of consciousness, which can only be attained in meditation. In samadhi, the mind is completely in sync. It is also calm and fully aware at the same time.
Meaning:He is divine, he is omnipotent, he is omniscient. There is no place where Shiva is not there. This is the sky; They are consciousness, where all knowledge is present. They are unborn and non-virtuous. This is that state of samadhi where there is nothing, only the empty sky of inner consciousness. He is Shiva!
Fast of mahashivratri
FASTING:Fasting is the willful refrainment from eating. In a physiological context, fasting may refer to the metabolic status of a person who has not eaten overnight, or to the metabolic state achieved after complete digestion and absorption of a meal.

On other festivals of Hinduism, where puja is offered to the Lord after worship, on the other hand, the fast of Shivaratri goes on throughout the day and it is opened only after sunrise in the morning.
There is a reason behind observing Shivaratri fast. By fasting or fasting, the body undergoes detachment (cleansing of the body) and the mind returns to its true form again. Lightness is felt in the body and one gets relief from the turmoil in the mind. As soon as the upheaval in the mind becomes conscious, awareness begins to rise in it. Such a mind is prepared for meditation and prayer and this is the focal point of Mahashivaratri festival. Keeping the mind alert and awake.
Discontinuation makes the mind and body light and this gives strength to our prayers. By meditating and fasting on Shivaratri, our desires come to fruition.

Some simple rules of Mahashivaratri fast / fast
The fast of Shivaratri begins on the morning of the festival and ends in the morning the next day. Like the Shivaratrias who come every month, the fasting rule of Mahashivaratri is the same. Some pilgrims keep a waterless fast, while others do fruitful. By the way, there should be a mixture of fruit and water in fasting, that is, if you are thirsty, then you should consume water and if you are hungry you should consume fruit. So that the body remains light and whatever food you are eating, it gets digested. Before fasting, it is better to have your pulse tested. From this, it will be known whether according to the nature of your app, fasting is suitable for you or not.

Importance of the Lingam

There should be a symbol to identify him, a symbol to identify him. Our ancient visionaries were very knowledgeable and intelligent, they placed a round and oval stone to identify Lord Shiva, which we worship as Shivalinga.
In ancient times, it has not been seen whether the Lord has taken the trident or anything else. There was only one body (stone) and it was worshiped during the chanting.

In the same way, how will you identify the Creator of the universe? Just like you identify a man or woman - to identify God, make a symbol of them and combine them. Those who have no identity in any form and who are omnipresent in this creation, through which they are identified - that is the Shiva Linga.
Shivalinga is the most ancient symbol of Lord Shiva. Where you grow from shapeless to shapeless. It symbolizes the representation of the universe and the universe. The meaning of Shivalinga is not only that of Shiva but it is also a symbol of the ultimate consciousness that is silently appearing and always moving.

Levels OF Experiencing SHIVA
There are 4 levels of experiencing divinity intimately.
1. Affable
Samipya means to know that we are very close to that divine consciousness and we are very dear to them as well. When will you get this experience? Will it be received tomorrow, will it be received the next day, or will it be experienced ten days later or a few months later? No! Now, at this very moment, suppose that you are very close to the divinity. This is what the Guru does. The Guru helps you to experience that divinity.
2. contiguous
The idea is to feel that divinity and to awaken that divinity within yourself. Whenever you meditate, you become aware of that divinity; You also feel that divinity. For example: - The air is all around us and outside in us every moment, but we do not feel it every moment. Similarly, our cover is surrounded by God every moment, but we do not realize His presence. To experience the presence of divinity itself, we worship, perform yagna and celebrate various festivals.
3. Compensable
Sarupya means seeing divinity everywhere and within yourself and in every particle. To feel that "Divinity is in me, is now, this is it, this is the moment and I am the symbol of that divine consciousness". This means, to bring to your memory that you and all the people around you are not separate from that divine consciousness, but are only a part of that divinity. This isolation can be realized only in deep relaxation and in silence. Only a calm, stagnant mind can experience it.
4. Combined
The fourth and most important level of feeling of divinity is saujya. Sayujya means being completely united with the divinity, where you do not see anything different between yourself and that divine consciousness. In this state nothing is duality, all is non-duality. This perfection can be experienced only and only in intense silence. In that state where you become one with God.
These are the four levels of samadhi. In samadhi (i.e. deep relaxation), we unite with Param - Shiva.
Shivaratri bhajan, divine voice and you!
Bhajans in the devine voice
Shivaratri bhajan, divine voice and you!
During Shivratri, bhajan songs are in vogue as bhajans are a favorite part of festivals and celebrations. And when hundreds of people sing hymns together, the atmosphere is filled with divinity and bliss. How does this happen?
Why does it happen that some special sounds have a special effect on our mind? What is the effect of Bhajan of Mahashivaratri?
You are not the only one to ask these questions. Actually, many people had the same questions before you.
It starts with a small village in South Bangalore, India. A spiritual master sat with some disciples. Some melodious music was coming from the background, in which some of the melodious notes were also singing in mixed tone. After some time, when the atmosphere was a little quiet, the conversation started -
A disciple asked Guruji: What is the effect of singing bhajans during satsang?
Guruji replied: Whenever we sing, our mind keeps gathering in a particular direction. There are two aspects of your brain, one works for your logical thinking and the other for functionality. So sometimes you think and sometimes you sing. Satsang is the coordination of both.
Can you tell us about the mantra chanting? Whenever I chant, I feel something awake inside. what is that?
These mantras are very ancient. Sound waves exist in space for centuries. Since the destruction of energy is not possible, that is why these sounds always exist in the vast consciousness. Whenever we chant these ancient mantras, they reach deep within us. That is why Vedic chanting and mantras help us at all levels of our existence on a microscopic level.
Our existence is millions of years old and the chanting of 'Om Namah Shivaya' started since then. That's why whenever that sound energy touches you, the energy of the same wavelength starts flowing in you. Whenever we chant, the innermost surface of our consciousness also feels pulsating.
Yes! This is true. This conversation took place. More about it .. ever again ....
There is a science of sounds produced from the hymn. It is very detailed as well as interesting. So unite in the sounds of this Shivaratri bhajan and get ready for the carnival. Bhajan means - 'dispense'. Learn more interesting facts-
Mantras are like electric energy and whenever you sing in satsang, the energy released from it enters you, which increases your energy level.
Mantras and knowledge have a profound effect on our consciousness. They make us energetic and elevate our consciousness.
Music is a quality of the sky element. By singing hymns and chanting, there is pulsing in the inner sky element. Sound energy makes all other elements alive and enriched. It is believed that these elements take care of the mind and make you happy and happy.
Whenever we sing hymns, the sound energy is absorbed in our body's ROM. Just as a microphone converts sound energy into electrical energy, our body converts sound energy into consciousness.
Singing brings stability within us. Singing means being immersed in music, and getting in tune with it, moving in meditation and becoming blissful.
Are Mahashivaratri bhajans special?
Yes of course! A special feature of Maha Shivaratri hymns is that they give a feeling of peaceful vibrations. Then either you are forced to snort or you drown in the depth of meditation. Here are some Shiva mantras, hymns and hymns that we must have listened to-
Shivoham Shivoham 'Shivoham Shivoham' - 'I am Shiva and I am Shiva'. The essence of Shiva is always a new existence of consciousness. You start experiencing it as you sing and sing, but despite the experience, remain calm.
Shiva Shambho Shambho Shambho means 'address'; It means 'wonderful'. Bho means 'you / you'; Peace means grace, peace, bliss; Shambho means 'Amazing Consciousness'.
ॐ Namah Shivaya ॐ Namah Shivaya - These five letters of Sanskrit language express the five elements - earth, water, fire, air and sky. ॐ means' God who is the latent manifestation of the expressed world. Mind, intellect, memory, ego and soul are latent aspects of consciousness. Chanting this mantra daily 108 times brings peace and self-realization in life.
Shiva Lingashtakam Shiva Lingashtakam is the most sacred and powerful mantra of Lord Shiva. There is a belief that those who worship the devotees with devotion to this Ashtapadi of Shiva Lingam surely attain Moksha (Shivloka).
Rudram Mantra Shree Shri Rudram is an ancient hymn taken from the Yajurveda. This is a very important and powerful mantra. Here whatever part of the Takka is done, some portion of Rudram is pronounced in it. One of the characteristics of Rudram is that it gives freedom from all negative impurities.
Shree Rudrashatkam Stotram of Lord Shiva - This stotra is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It was composed by Hindu devotional Margi saint and poet Tulsidas. According to Hindu Puranas, this is a powerful way to please Lord Shiva and get his blessings.
Shiva Shadakshara Stotram This beautiful hymn is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is said that by listening to it, a positive energy is transmitted to the human being.
Gurudev says, it is not necessary to know the meaning of songs, nor do we sing it for any particular 'God'. So just sing and experience the energy and sensations of the bhajan. These songs are not sung in the prayers of any 'special', they are just a medium to learn to drown in oneself. You sing so that your inner energy field expands. And the energy field is exactly what we and you are made of.
Then sing, if you sing even a little disharmony, it doesn't matter.
