crochet with Yog..

Yes these days i used to crochet while listening Samkhya yog  by Acharya Pradumn Ji Maharaj


Let see...about it

If there is no mind than there is no possibility to get involved with worldly attractions. Each sense of Human being has its own area of application but mind have to play an important role in the process of perception of senses.


For example let’s consider our eyes; when we are looking at a beautiful scene around our mind is also involved and if we pick mind out of the scene than no scene will be perceived by our eyes even we are continuously looking at the said scene. Image may there on retina but we will be not aware of it.

Now let’s take scripture point of view; shrimad bhagwad geeta says “Nature – Prakriti is working with its three virtues – Satto Gunna, Razo Gunna and Tamogunna. There are three major area of nature. Actually this is classification of worldly attractions.

Nature is offering worldly attractions to senses. Attractions are there and also senses are there but event is not happening. This is because mind is not there. This is a beautiful process of involvement and it is natural only.

Worldly Attractions ß +Mind+--> Senses = Involvement

This involvement brings desires and these desires bring actions and material in the life. And besides this there is a spiritual law that one attraction brings others attractions like one value bring other values; it mean desires are interdependent also. And our journey of soul gets involved in worldly attractions ultimately and we forget the purpose of our life.

When we understand this process of desires, mind and material and we also understand that we can stop all this with the help of mind only; this is the mind which is creating new desires and also brings material with the help of nature. That’s why almost all religions, all meditation techniques all secret techniques are only working on mind.

The one who understand the process and stop the process by just aware of it is called a “Sankhya Yogi.”

This is the theory of Samkhya yog    XOXO

The Mittens...........

I just completed (finally!)the eyelet stole for my daughter and they have been dutifully packed off in lovely wrapper, belated for colder days but right on time for recently created cold days due to snowfalls in Himachal. And I am hooked. I will post the photos later, it is beautiful, but it’s also warm, comfortable, practical, and a relatively quick knit.

Now I will knit the Norwegian mittens, I haven't knitted mittens in years, because in the past I knitted them with One yarn colour and found that a single layer of knitted fabric just lets too much wind through to be warm enough for the wearer. I've been wearing military gloves ever since. But stranded mittens! Of course! Those smart Scandinavians know all about how to stay warm, don't they? I think It will took me a decade of knitting to wake up to the genius of Norwegian mittens, but I will try for sure. Luckily I found the design I did for my raglan sweater when I was studying in my BSc in CCSHAU……..Yes CCSHAU is my Alma Matter……… I think there are more mittens in my near future.



So, I have been thinking and thinking about the mittens for yarn!....colour…..wool yarn. Company.. ! Yes the resolutions. I like making resolutions, and in the past I've gotten pretty ambitious with them, resolving to do things like giving up plastic and practicing yoga every single day. Needless to say, they don't always stick, but I think it's a worthwhile exercise.



But I've been having a hard time coming up with resolutions this year, perhaps because stacked a huge amount of yarn in my possession! That’s why I feel very ambitious. One of the things I noticed about 2012 is that I worked much too hard. I put way too much pressure on myself to perform, and I think it's telling that I didn't take a single vacation(away from my leisure activities) day all year

So I think this is my resolution for 2013: Stop pushing myself so hard. Expect less from myself. Do less.

I'm not going to put any qualifiers on this one. I'm just going to try - less.OK………

Here is the previous one! Long Back Yes!The earlier to this planned to be knitted! The Norwegian Ones!

21st December 2012.........पीले कनेर .My yellow oliender vase

Well we survived through another end of the world prediction. Why on earth do these people frighten so many people with their predictions? Even when I was a little girl at school in 1965, someone would come up with these stupid dates! For the past fortnight, I have spent a lot of time in hospital with my mother. My mother was discharged from hospital although more tests and outpatient visits are due in future weeks. Life is beautiful...let us just enjoy it. If anything, 21st December 2012 should have made us realize that we should appreciate what we have and take more care of our planet. It was a very stressful time for me I must admit, these past few weeks, and I hope that I can slow down now and go back to my beloved craft work.

हमारे पार्क के कोने में पीले कनेर के फूल का पेड़ है यह पार्क हमारे घर के ठीक सामने है और पार्क का कोना हमारे घर के दरवाजे के दाईं और है ।भगवान शिव के श्रृंगार का सबसे प्यारा फूल है पीला कनेर ।आज कल इन फूलों की बहार आयी हुई है।कनेर का फूल बहुत ही मशहूर है। 

 दीवार के पार कनेर के  पेड़ का ऊपरी हिस्सा दिखाई दे रहा है 

 मेरे सामनेके आँगन का कोना कनेर के साथ जट्रोफा के फूल डालेहैं जो खुबडुरत नजारा उत्पन्न कर रहे हैं

 कनेर के पेड़ की ऊंचाई लगभग 10 से 11 हाथ से ज्यादा बड़े नहीं होते हैं। पत्ते लम्बाई में 4 से 6 इंच और चौडाई में 1 इंच, सिरे से नोकदार, नीचे से खुरदरे, सफेद घाटीदार और ऊपर से चिकने होते है। कनेर के पेड़ वन और उपवन में आसानी से मिल जाते है। फूल खासकर गर्मियों के मौसम में ही खिलते हैं फलियां चपटी, गोलाकार 5 से 6 इंच लंबी होती है जो बहुत ही जहरीली होती हैं। फूलों और जड़ों में भी जहर होता है। कनेर की चार जातियां होती हैं। सफेद, लाल व गुलाबी और पीला। सफेद कनेर औषधि के उपयोग में बहुत आता है। कनेर के पेड़ को कुरेदने या तोड़ने से दूध निकलता है।

फ्लोटिंग वेज़ के अलावा सभी गमले रिसाइकल्ड हैं बीच  वाला बड़ा ट ब है 

 कनेर या ओलियंडर का फूल चिकना, सदाबहार, दूधिया रस के साथ लकड़ी की झाड़ी वाला ऊपरी गंगा के मैदानी इलाकों पाया जाने वाला फूल है. ये भारत में कश्मीर से नेपाल 2000 मीटर तक मध्य और दक्षिण हिमालय में मंदिरों और बगीचों के पास पाया जाता है।

23/9/2012को दोपहर एक बजे मैंने ये तस्वीरें ली थी जब कुछ चीजें मन को भा जाती हैं तो फिर तस्वीरों पर तस्वीरें खींचने  को मन करता है और फिर एक भी तस्वीर को डी लिट् करने का जी नहीं चाहता यही वजह है कि  इन सब को यहां पोस्ट कर रही हूँ 

कनेर का फूल पूरे भारत में पाया जाता है. यह सजावट के लिए उपयोग किया जाने वाला पौधा है और आमतौर पर उद्यान में और सड़कों के किनारे पर देखा जा सकता है।

कनेर का फूल तीन आम किस्मों (सफेद, पीले, लाल) में पाया जाता हैं. इसकी सभी किस्में जहरीले किस्म की होती हैं। इस किस्म की ताजा पत्तियों का केवल पन्द्रह ग्राम का सेवन एक घोड़े को मार सकता है।

Making the world a more beautiful place..

I am a person with busy hands I usually crochet laces on my tour time for our research purposes when I am not on any project then I usually crochet lace on the way in our jeep or van. I have several rolls of lace in my basket. I want to use them up!


I love lace edgings on my pillow cases bed covers and even for the white sheets i lay upon while in bed.

I sewed it on blue Gingham Fabric which was lying in my stash. Last time when my daughter came she cut down two square Gingham pieces one each for computer and TV and see asked me to crochet edgings around them...and i didn’t have any time to do so till now...and see will come home for New year!...............then......yesterday i stumbled on the basket where i stacked all the laces i immediately drag it out and machine attach on one piece...the other one is still waiting!

It’s here covered on the small stool ...my niece laid it on...and placed a vase of dry twigs and flowers on it....

XOXO
