POEM With a purpose bright, a guiding star, A father's influence, near and far. Shaping futures, beyond a scar, True parenting, no matter what they are. Families they shape, with love and might, Enriching all, with their pure light. A better world, shining so bright, From fathers' efforts, day and night. Empathy's touch, a lasting sign, A legacy of love, truly divine. The essence of fatherhood, so fine, A bond unbroken, yours and mine.

  Veils of Perception: A Poetic Path to Knowing Spiritual Intelligence QUATRAINS Mind's bright spark, a knowing core, Zohar named it, SI for sure. To see life's purpose, clear and bright, To find our values, walk in light. The aim of living, truly known, To break the walls, by ourselves sown. Unconscious shadows, fade away, And let the brighter spirit play. A wise mind, a warm heart, Through all life's changes, a true start. No matter what the day may bring, A gentle spirit, strength will sing. In Summary Kishore (2026) explores transcending material limitations to achieve deeper existential awareness and defines spiritual intelligence (SQ) as a reflective journey to dismantle biases and ego, offering a pathway to inner peace and higher consciousness through introspection.

  Yoga Special Day Limericks  A yoga day, a clever play, For business, it lights the way. With mats and good vibes, They boost their buy-scribes, And watch their profits brightly sway. The trader and statesman aligned, On holidays specially designed. With banners and glee, They sold "history," While leaving the future generations blind. A special day, a festive gleam, Makes frolics burst, it would just seem. "Must buy, must get!" A consumer's debt, We splurge on things, a retail dream.

 Father's Day is observed on the third Sunday of June to celebrate the contribution that 'fathers and father-figures' that they make towards their children's lives and relate well to their mother.

  The Message Chapter 16 of the Bhagavad Gita, called Daivasura Sampad Vibhaga Yoga, talks about the differences between good and bad qualities to help people behave better. It lists twenty-six good traits, such as being fearless, having a pure mind, being charitable, and practicing non-violence. These qualities can lead to spiritual freedom and inner calm. On the other hand, he points out bad traits like arrogance, pride, anger, hypocrisy, and endless desire. People with these demonic traits are often driven by greed and a big ego, thinking that the universe has no moral rules or divine control. This very materialistic way of thinking keeps them stuck in a cycle of bad actions and painful rebirths. The main message strongly warns that lust, anger, and greed are the three doors to hell that can completely ruin a person's soul. Krishna encourages everyone to let go of these harmful habits to reach their highest goals. In the end, the chapter highlights that a person's future is...

  Authentic Leadership through the Lens of the Bhagavad Gita’s Divine Virtues The twenty-six divine virtues outlined in Chapter 16 of the Bhagavad Gita provide a timeless framework for values-driven leadership.

 Little, deliberate designs referred to as "tangles" are created one stroke at a time, transforming a blank page into an eye-catching mosaic. Zentangles are typically small, made on 3.5-inch square pieces of paper with black ink. The greatest aspect of this art is that there are no mistakes in the making. If a line veers off or isn’t perfectly straight, you don’t erase it. Instead, you accept it and turn that little wiggle into a fresh part of your design. Because of this, anyone can do it—you don’t need any special drawing talent; it just sets you free. Google (2026) search with AI prompt 'dr lalit kishore educator on zentangle art' reveals the though Kishore is primarily known for his work in science education, alternative pedagogy, and special education, he has integrated Zentangle and doodle art into his therapeutic and creative writing frameworks to promote emotional catharsis, mindfulness, and multiple intelligence development.His work with Zentangle spans sever...

  Arc of the Divine: The Rainbow's Sacred Vedic Path  A spiritual poem   A celestial bow, a vibrant arc appears, Indradhanush, a sign from heavens high. The deity of rain, dispelling fears, A bridge to worlds where spirits softly lie.   Sun's golden warmth, with waters from above, A gentle dance, a harmony profound. The universe's balance, sung with love, Where earth and sky in unity are found.   Its seven hues, a path for us to climb, Each color bright, a chakra's gentle glow. From root to crown, transcending earthly time, To higher thought, where pure awareness grows.   So see the bow, a sacred, mystic sign, Connecting soul to realms that are divine. Citation 1 Kishore (n.d.) pairs a 5-7-5 syllable poem, hiaku, with a visual to capture a contemplative moment of nature and emphasize concise imagery to reflect on the beauty of a rainbow against the sky.

  Valour Beyond Mind and Senses: Conquering Yourself (Couplets dedicated to Lord Mahavira) The mind we see, a fleeting view, Pure mind, nature, deeds anew.

A photo story is a way to communicate using a series of pictures to show ideas, feelings or outcomes during interactions or a sequence of events. It uses very little text, just short captions, and lets viewers understand the reality, event, or story in their own way. The visual story depends on a planned order of specific and purposeful snapshots to tell the story smoothly. Some examples of intentional shots are: Establishing Shot: A wide photo that shows the scene, introduces the place, and reveals who or what the story is about. Medium Shot: A closer view that focuses on the main action or subject, removing any distracting background. Portrait or Close-up Shot: Detailed shots that create a close emotional bond with the subjects. Detail Shot: Very close images of certain objects that add depth, mystery, or completeness to the overall story. Skilled storytelling photographers arrange these images — usually between 4 to 12 photos — in a logical order, like chronological steps, with shor...

  ‘Words Become Our Prison’: Quotes of J Krisnamurti and Inspired Haiku  QUOTES The word is not the thing / reality   We live by words and words become our prison. The words are necessary to communicate but the word is never the thing. The actual is not the word but the word becomes all-important when it has taken the place of that 'which is'.   Thought (Word) is divisive because in itself it is limited. To observe wholly implies the non-interference of thought – to observe without the past as knowledge blocking the observation. Then the observer is not, for the observer is the past, the very nature of thought.  In observation there is neither the observer nor the idea of observation. This is very important to understand. There is no observer or the idea of not having an observer. Which means there is only pure observation, without the word, without the recollection and association of the past. There is nothing, only observation.   ~J KRISHNAMURTI ...

  Couplets inspired by he book "Loot Ki Vyavastha Ke Viruddh: Ulgulan" by Dr. Devender Balhara: Part 2 The Ulgulan book, a guiding light, Says rural strength should take its flight. Against the big firms' greedy hold, Our village ways, a story told. We'll build anew, self-reliant dreams, With local rule, and flowing streams. Our water, woods, and fertile ground, For life's survival, they are found. With ancient wisdom, we will keep, Our animals and soil so deep. Fields we'll keep, where our food can grow, Small villages, where kind neighbors know. Old ways of rule, we'll bring them back to be, Our own decisions, for all the community. No bossy giants, with their greedy hand, We'll build our own, throughout our happy land. Corporate chains, a heavy load, Our local strength, a better road. Self-rule's rebirth, a gentle hand, To feed our needs, across the land. No more violence, or angry fight, Just peaceful change, to make things right. Our village ...

 COUPLETS: PART 1 A book called Ulgulan, a story to tell, Of systems that hurt, and make people dwell. It speaks of the poor, and the villages grand, A new fight for freedom, held in their hand. Like Birsa Munda, a leader of old, Who fought for his people, brave and bold. Now, Dr. Balhara, with wisdom so deep, Shows how big money makes villages weep. Laws twist and turn, and power takes hold, Stealing the land, like stories of gold. But Ulgulan rises, a banner unfurled, For justice and fairness, in this weary world. To take back the power, the right to be free, For every man, woman, and child, you and me. The book, Ulgulan, helps minds ignite, With stories of past, and wrongs brought to light. It shows how the laws, and money's deep sway, Did steal from the poor, in a very sad way. From farms and from homes, they took what was grown, When values were lost, and seeds of greed sown. When banks grew too strong, and leaders took hold, Their systems turned sour, like stories of old. The...
