Do your Sadhana

Among thousands of species, this human birth is rare
Do your Sadhana

Human potential is unbelievably vast, to utilise it
Do your Sadhana

You will be balanced and disciplined in life
Do your Sadhana

Have a one pointed goal for yourself
Do your Sadhana

In the midst of turbulence, stay calm
Do your Sadhana

Patience, perseverance and efforts will be tested till the end
Do your Sadhana

You can overcome all the obstacles lying ahead
Do your Sadhana

Even when you don't see anything around clearly
Do your Sadhana

You will certainly be happy
Doing your Sadhana

You can dissolve into God once and for all
Just keep doing your Sadhana

Sparrows

If you are not aware, please take note that Indian House Sparrow numbers are dwindling. Recollect your childhood or the last decade, where you would hear sweet chirps every morning and evening, is it still the same ?

I generally keep foodgrains and water for birds all round the year in my balcony, but wanted to do something extra for sparrows. I & Wifey, have placed a cardboard box with holes opened for sparrows to nest in, though none have arrived yet my hopes are up as ever.

Also, placed multiple Tulsi(Holy Basil) plants in same balcony, where foodgrains and nest are there. As I have observed that sparrows eat Tulsi seeds and nibble on its leaves too.

Over last two months, my family has witnessed an increased number of sparrows visiting for food, water and Tulsi nibbling. Although it would be great to see them nest in some corner of my house, but still seeing them come in numbers for feeding is also satisfactory.

I wish, you people will also take some initiatives, especially for sparrows and in general for all birds starting this Summer. The least you can do is place drinking waterpots for birds in your verandahs and/or balconies.
