Amazing Story about PM Narendra Modi
Sent by a trusted friend on WhatsApp. Translated by Google translate from Original Marathi.
मोदी आणी शून्य निद्रेची साधना.😳
डॉक्टर शरद ठाकर हे गुजरातचे खूपच लोकप्रिय साहित्यिक व पेशाने डाॅक्टर आहेत. वीर सावरकरांच्या जीवना वरील त्यांची कादंबरी ‘सिंह पुरूष’ खूपच लोकप्रिय आहे. एका वर्षातच ह्या कादंबरीच्या चार आवृत्या प्रकाशित झाल्या.
डाॅक्टरानी आदरणीय पंतप्रधान श्री नरेंद्र मोदी यांची भेट घेतली असता त्यांच्याशी जो संवाद साधला तो असा होता.
आदरणीय पंतप्रधान नरेंद्र भाईंनी आमचे प्रेमाने स्वागत केले. सुरूवातीला मी त्यांना सहजपणे विचारले “नरेंद्र भाई कसे अहात? कसे चालले आहे?”
सर्व सामान्य ऊत्तर असते छान चालले आहे. पण नरेंद्र भाई तसे म्हणाले नाहीत. ते गंभीरपणे म्हणाले “नाही सर्व कांही ठीक नाहीये. सध्या मी एक साधना करतो आहे, नीद्रेवर नियंत्रण मिळविण्याची!
मी म्हणालो, पण माझ्या माहितीप्रमाणे तुम्ही फक्त अडीच तासच झोपता, मग हे कशा साठी?
ते म्हणाले “खर तर मला साडे ऐकवीस तासही कमी पडताहेत. मला निद्रा शून्यावर न्यायची आहे.”
म्हणजे तिसर्या अंतिम टप्प्याची? – मी.
तुम्ही हे जाणता तर! – नरेंद्र भाई.
मी म्हणालो “हो मी पण एक साधक आहे अर्थात आपल्या ईतका नाही, पण तुमच्या मागोमाच आहे. आपण सगळे जाणतोच की श्री बजरंगबली कधीच झोपत नाही. आणि रामायणात सांगितले आहे की भ्राता लक्ष्मण श्री राम सीतेच्या पर्णकुटी बाहेर दिवस रात्र पहारा देत असे. चौदा वर्षाच्या वनवासात लक्ष्मण क्षणभरही नाहीत. मला माहीत आहे की क्षणाचीही निद्रा न घेणे ही साधनेची सर्वोच्च अवस्था आहे!”
दरम्यान मी त्यांना त्यांच्या हिमालयात केलेल्या साधने विषयी विचारले तेव्हा ते म्हणाले की हो ते खरे आहे. मला मा दुर्गेशने दर्शन दिले, पण देश सेवेत परत जाण्याचा आदेश दिला!
मी विचारले की तुम्हाला ही शून्य नीद्रेची अवस्था कशासाठी हवी आहे?
त्यावर ते गंभीरपणे म्हणाले “आपला हा भारत देश महान आहे पण अनेक शतके लुटला गेला आहे. माझे गरिब बांधव भ्रष्टाचाराच्या खाईत लोटले गेले आहेत. मला त्यांना वर आणायचे आहे, त्या साठी मला चोवीस तास कार्यरत रहावे लागेल त्या साठी ही शून्य नीद्रेची अवस्था प्राप्त करायची आहे.” हे सांगताना त्यांचे डोळे पाणावले होते आणि ऐकताना माझेही! मी म्हणालो – आतंकवाद्यांच्या यादीत आपले नाव सर्वात वर आहे. असे असताना आपल्याला भय वाटत नाही?
त्यावर ते गंभीरपणे म्हणाले “मी मृत्यूला भीत नाही. मातेने मला ज्या कार्या साठी परत पाठविले ते पूर्ण झाल्या शिवाय मला कोणीही मारू शकत नाही, आणि कार्य पूर्ण झाल्यावर कुणीही वाचवू शकणार नाही. असेही आपल्या देशात आपण पाहिले की कितीतरी कमांडो आणि अंगरक्षक असून सुद्धा वेळ आली तेव्हा मृत्यूने झडप घातलीच!”
असे आहेत आपले प्रधानमंत्री! मी काही कोणाची अंधभक्ती करणाऱ्यापैकी नाही. अरे साधा माठ घेताना दोनदा वाजवून पहातो. हा तर माणूस आहे. देशातील करोडो जनतेने अनेकदा टकोरे मारून पारखून पंतप्रधान पदावर बसविले आहे आणि म्हणूनच मी त्यांना पाठिंबा देतो.
भारतमाता की जय!

મોદી અને શૂન્ય sleepંઘની પ્રેક્ટિસ
ડ Dr..શરદ ઠાકરે એ ગુજરાતના ખૂબ જ લોકપ્રિય સાહિત્યિક અને વ્યાવસાયિક ડોક્ટર છે. વીર સાવરકરના જીવન પરની તેમની ‘સિંઘ પુરુષ’ નવલકથા ખૂબ પ્રખ્યાત છે. એક વર્ષમાં, નવલકથાની ચાર આવૃત્તિઓ પ્રકાશિત થઈ.
આ રીતે ડ doctorક્ટરે માનનીય વડા પ્રધાન શ્રી નરેન્દ્ર મોદી સાથે વાતચીત કરી.
આદરણીય વડા પ્રધાન નરેન્દ્રભાઇએ અમારું હાર્દિક સ્વાગત કર્યું. પહેલા મેં તેમને સરળ રીતે પૂછ્યું, “નરેન્દ્રભાઈ, તમે કેમ છો? તમે કેમ છો?”
બધા જ સામાન્ય જવાબો બરાબર ચાલી રહ્યા છે. પણ નરેન્દ્રભાઈએ એમ કહ્યું નહીં. તેણે ગંભીરતાથી કહ્યું, “ના, બધું બરાબર નથી. હમણાં હું સાધના કરી રહ્યો છું, નિંદ્રા પર નિયંત્રણ મેળવવા માટે!”
મેં કહ્યું, પણ જ્યાં સુધી હું જાણું છું તમે માત્ર અ onlyી કલાક સૂઈ જાવ, તો આ કેમ?
તેણે કહ્યું, “ખરેખર, હું એકવીસ કલાક ગુમ કરું છું. મારે શૂન્ય પર સૂવું છે.”
ત્રીજો અને અંતિમ તબક્કો શું છે? – હું
જો તમે આ જાણો છો! – નરેન્દ્રભાઈ.
મેં કહ્યું, “હા, હું એક સાધક છું, અલબત્ત, તમારા જેટલું નહીં, પણ હું તમારી પાછળ છું. આપણે બધા જાણીએ છીએ કે શ્રી બજરંગબલી ક્યારેય સૂતા નથી. લક્ષ્મણ એક ક્ષણ માટે પણ નથી. મને ખબર છે કે એક ક્ષણની sleepંઘ ન લેવી એ સાધનાની સર્વોચ્ચ અવસ્થા છે! ”
દરમિયાન જ્યારે મેં તેમને હિમાલયમાં બનાવેલા સાધનો વિશે પૂછ્યું ત્યારે તેઓએ કહ્યું કે હા તે સાચું છે. મા દુર્ગેશે મને દર્શન આપ્યા, પણ મને દેશ સેવામાં પાછા ફરવાનો આદેશ આપ્યો!
મેં પૂછ્યું કે તમને શૂન્ય ofંઘની આ સ્થિતિ કેમ જોઈએ છે?
તેમણે ગંભીરતાથી કહ્યું, “આપણો ભારત મહાન છે પરંતુ ઘણી સદીઓ લૂંટી લેવામાં આવી છે. મારા ગરીબ ભાઈઓ ભ્રષ્ટાચારના પાતાળમાં પડ્યા છે. હું તેમને લાવવા માંગુ છું, તે માટે આ શૂન્ય sleepંઘ મેળવવા માટે મારે દિવસમાં ચોવીસ કલાક કામ કરવું પડશે. ” આ કહેતાની સાથે તેની આંખોને પાણીયુક્ત, અને મારી પણ! મેં કહ્યું – તમારું નામ આતંકવાદીઓની યાદીમાં ટોચ પર છે. તમે ડરતા નથી?
તેમણે ગંભીરતાથી કહ્યું, “હું મૃત્યુથી ડરતો નથી. જ્યાં સુધી મારી માતાએ મને પાછા મોકલ્યા છે તે કાર્ય પૂર્ણ ન થાય ત્યાં સુધી કોઈ મને મારી શકે નહીં, અને કામ પૂર્ણ થાય ત્યારે કોઈ મને બચાવી શકે નહીં. પછી મૃત્યુ ત્રાટક્યું! ”
આવા તમારા વડા પ્રધાન છે! હું કોઈની આંખ બંધ કરીને પૂજા કરનારમાંનો નથી. ઓહ, તે સાદી સાદડી લેતી વખતે બે વાર રમે છે. આ માણસ છે. દેશના લાખો લોકોએ તેમને વડા પ્રધાન તરીકે ચૂંટવામાં આવે તે માટે ખૂબ જ પ્રયાસ કર્યા છે અને તેથી જ હું તેમનું સમર્થન કરું છું.
ભારત ભારતને મહિમા!

Modi and the practice of zero sleep
Dr. Sharad Thackeray is a very popular literary and professional doctor of Gujarat. His novel ‘Singh Purush’ on the life of Veer Savarkar is very popular. Within a year, four editions of the novel were published.
This is how the doctor interacted with the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
Respected Prime Minister Narendra Bhai welcomed us warmly. At first I simply asked them, “How are you, Narendra Bhai? How are you?”
All the general answers are going well. But Narendra Bhai did not say so. He said seriously, “No, not everything is fine. Right now I’m doing a sadhana, to get control of sleep!”
I said, but as far as I know you only sleep for two and a half hours, so why this?
He said, “Actually, I’m missing twenty-one and a half hours. I want to sleep at zero.”
What is the third and final stage? – I
If you know this! – Narendra Bhai.
I said, “Yes, I am a seeker, of course, not as much as you, but I am behind you. We all know that Shri Bajrangbali never sleeps. Lakshman is not even for a moment. I know that not taking a moment’s sleep is the highest state of sadhana! ”
Meanwhile when I asked them about the tools they made in the Himalayas, they said yes it is true. Ma Durgesh gave me a darshan, but ordered me to return to country service!
I asked why do you want this state of zero sleep?
He said seriously, “Our India is a great country, but it has been plundered for centuries. My poor brothers have fallen into the abyss of corruption. I want to bring them up. . ” His eyes watered as he said this, and mine too! I said – your name is at the top of the list of terrorists. Aren’t you scared?
He said seriously, “I am not afraid of death. No one can kill me until the work for which my mother sent me back is completed, and no one can save me when the work is completed. We also saw in our country that despite all the commandos and bodyguards, the time has come.” Then death struck! ”
Such is your Prime Minister! I am not one of those who blindly worship anyone. Oh, he plays twice while taking a simple mat. This is a man. Millions of people in the country have tried hard to get him elected as the Prime Minister and that is why I support him.
Glory to Mother India!

मोदी और शून्य नींद का अभ्यास
डॉ। शरद ठाकरे गुजरात के एक बहुत लोकप्रिय साहित्यकार और पेशेवर डॉक्टर हैं। वीर सावरकर के जीवन पर उनका उपन्यास ‘सिंहपुरुष’ बहुत लोकप्रिय है। एक वर्ष के भीतर, उपन्यास के चार संस्करण प्रकाशित हुए।
इस तरह से डॉक्टर ने माननीय प्रधान मंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी के साथ बातचीत की।
आदरणीय प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र भाई ने हमारा गर्मजोशी से स्वागत किया। सबसे पहले मैंने उनसे पूछा, “आप कैसे हैं, नरेंद्र भाई? आप कैसे हैं?”
सभी सामान्य उत्तर ठीक चल रहे हैं। लेकिन नरेंद्र भाई ने ऐसा नहीं कहा। उन्होंने गंभीरता से कहा, “नहीं, सब कुछ ठीक नहीं है। अभी मैं एक साधना कर रहा हूँ, नींद पर नियंत्रण पाने के लिए!”
मैंने कहा, लेकिन जहां तक मैं जानता हूं कि आप केवल ढाई घंटे सोते हैं, तो ऐसा क्यों?
उन्होंने कहा, “वास्तव में, मैं इक्कीस घंटे से गायब हूं। मैं शून्य पर सोना चाहता हूं।”
तीसरा और अंतिम चरण क्या है? – मैं
यदि आप यह जानते हैं! – नरेंद्र भाई
मैंने कहा, “हां, मैं एक साधक हूं, बेशक, आप जितना नहीं, लेकिन आप के पीछे। हम सभी जानते हैं कि श्री बजरंगबली कभी नहीं सोते हैं। लक्ष्मण एक क्षण के लिए भी नहीं है। मुझे पता है कि एक पल की नींद लेना साधना की उच्चतम अवस्था नहीं है! ”
इस बीच जब मैंने उनसे हिमालय में बनाए गए औजारों के बारे में पूछा, तो उन्होंने कहा कि हाँ यह सच है। मा दुर्गेश ने मुझे दर्शन दिया, लेकिन मुझे देश सेवा में लौटने का आदेश दिया!
मैंने पूछा कि आप शून्य नींद की इस स्थिति को क्यों चाहते हैं?
उन्होंने गंभीरता से कहा, “हमारा भारत महान है लेकिन कई शताब्दियां लूटी गई हैं। मेरे गरीब भाई भ्रष्टाचार की खाई में गिर गए हैं। मैं उन्हें ऊपर लाना चाहता हूं, इसके लिए मुझे इस शून्य नींद को प्राप्त करने के लिए दिन में चौबीस घंटे काम करना होगा। ” यह कहते हुए उसकी आँखों में पानी आ गया और मेरा भी! मैंने कहा- आपका नाम आतंकवादियों की सूची में सबसे ऊपर है। क्या तुम डरे हुए नहीं हो?
उन्होंने गंभीरता से कहा, “मैं मौत से नहीं डरता। कोई भी मुझे तब तक नहीं मार सकता, जब तक मेरी मां ने मुझे वापस भेजे जाने वाले काम को पूरा नहीं किया, और जब काम पूरा हो जाए तो मुझे कोई नहीं बचा सकता।” फिर तो मौत आ गई! ”
ऐसे हैं आपके प्रधानमंत्री! मैं उन लोगों में से नहीं हूं जो आँख बंद करके किसी की भी पूजा करते हैं। ओह, वह एक साधारण चटाई लेते हुए दो बार खेलता है। यह एक आदमी है। देश के लाखों लोगों ने उन्हें प्रधान मंत्री के रूप में चुने जाने की भरसक कोशिश की और यही कारण है कि मैं उनका समर्थन करता हूं।
भारत माता की जय!

Make someone’s Day – Words From Jay’s Heart
I share the Random Acts of Kindness with readers regularly.
Try this for a change.
- Send a Birthday wish to your network – even if it is not everyone’s Birthday. I sent this and variants of this to my network – most regularly. “Happy Birthday to you. Have a great one. May this one also be filled with Health, Wealth, Peace and Joy and you enjoy this and many many more in the years to come with choicest family, friends, relatives and Enjoy the Fun moments and cherish them for life. Warm regards. Jay” Even if the person has not interacted with me before have reverted to me with some great comments. And to those who celebrate it – they say good things about it and praise which makes my day.
- Write a Comment on a Article / Poem which is Genuine, comes from your. heart and contains Praise for the person who wrote it, what he/ she wrote and add your own thoughts in the most non-intrusive, Non-parental way like a true friend and I am so delighted when I receive the replies /comments back from the authors/ poets – It makes the DAY for both of us.
- I also do poetry and when I comment on a poem, Even and abstract one, I ensure that I have put on my talent spotter hat ON and I am looking for one or two of the 34 Strength themes each one of us have dominant within us – Overt or dormant. If it is dormant – I get moving responses that move both me and poet/ poetess and if it is something known to the creator but not highlighted by many – it is a special delight with which I receive a compliment back.
Try it. It is worth its while. In these difficult times of Corona Virus cirsis which will make us fight for survival or it already is, the stress, anxiety, pain can. go away by these appreciative enquiries, comments, suggestions, affirmations which everyone of us is looking for.
Do respond in comments if you agree with me or you wish to suggest me to make some changes. I am flexible.

A LIFE OF LOVE IS WORTH LIVING ~~
A LIFE OF LOVE IS WORTH LIVING ~~
When man is merely selfish he can, in the false pursuit of separate and exclusive happiness, become utterly callous and cruel to others, but this recoils upon him by poisoning the very spring of his life. Loveless life is most unlovely, only a life of love is worth living.
If a man is desireless he will not only eliminate much suffering which he causes others, but also much of his own self-created suffering. Mere desirelessness, however, cannot yield positive happiness, though it protects man from self-created suffering and goes a long way towards making true happiness possible. True happiness begins when a man learns the art of right adjustment to other persons, and right adjustment involves self-forgetfulness and love. Hence arises the spiritual importance of transforming a life of the limited self into a life of love.
