Often people come into your life, and you know right away that they were meant to be there. They are meant to serve some sort of purpose, to teach you a lesson, or to help you find the purpose of your life, some backstab to make you realise that all is not good, some come to show you the direction. People do not just randomly appear into our lives, there is a reason behind it.
Everyone we meet comes into our life, or crosses our path, for a purpose, though it may not be clear at the times. It may be years before we learn what the purpose was. Some will teach us something we need to know. At times we meet a person who helps us to fulfil one of our needs. So, some people come to assist you through a difficulty; to provide you with guidance and support; to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They seem like godsent, and they are.
Ramkrishna Paramahans met (Narendra) Vivekananda in November 1881, at the house of Surendra Nath Mitra. The meeting was not planned, it was a coincidence. Ramakrishna asked Narendranath (the pre-monastic name of Vivekananda) to sing. Impressed by his singing talent, he invited him to Dakshineshwar Kali Temple. Narendra accepted the invitation, and the meeting proved to be a turning point in the life of Narendra. Initially Narendra did not accept Ramakrishna as his master and found him to be an exaggerated, obsessive man. But eventually he became one of the closest people in his life. Ramakrishna reportedly shaped the personality of Narendra and prepared him to dedicate his life to serve humanity. Vivekananda served the Indian freedom struggle as one of the most inspiring and intellectual leaders. He gave the young freedom fighters beliefs and motivation for the Indian freedom struggle. He was looked up to as a source of motivation by great leaders such as Aurobindo Ghose, Hemchandra Ghosh, Mahatma Gandhi, and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. He was the chief disciple of the 19th-century mystic Ramakrishna and the founder of Ramakrishna Mission. Swami Vivekananda is also considered a key figure in the introduction of Vedanta and Yoga to the West and is credited with raising the profile of Hinduism to that of a world religion.
Vivekananda meeting Ramkrishna had a purpose. Certain people are destined to come into our lives. Yes, I believe that certain people are in fact destined to come into our lives, they come to improve us in some way, or we feel a strong connection with them, they were destined to come to us. That is why people have mentors, best friends, Guru. if two souls are destined to meet, the universe will always find a way to make the connection. Even when you lose all hope, certain bonds cannot be broken. They show us who we were, who we are and who we can become. Amidst everything, nature will always find a way.
According to this view, the ultimate purpose of life is to find joy, contentment, and satisfaction in one’s pursuits and relationships. This might involve building closer connections with loved ones, pursuing activities and hobbies that bring happiness, and working towards goals that bring a sense of fulfilment.
It was chaotic day at Kurukhestra station. There was commotion aboard the Kalka-New Delhi Shatabdi train when a 61-year-old passenger named Narendra Mohan fell unconscious on in the morning. Calls were made randomly to find a doctor to treat the 61-year-old passenger. Dr. Manoj Gupta, a Panchkula-based cardiologist, proved vital in saving the life of Narendra Mohan. The patient is a diabetic and resident of Chandigarh who was visiting New Delhi.
Dr Gupta was travelling on another train – the Kalka Shatabdi when an urgent call for a doctor came through. Usually, people don’t respond for such calls, but Dr. Manoj Gupta rushed to the scene, he found the passenger, in his 60s, in a critical condition, displaying heart attack symptoms. With no pulse and no breathing. Dr. Gupta immediately administered Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) to revive him, aiming solely to save his life as he was alone. The universe will always find a way to make the connection. Most people believe that the goal of life is to achieve happiness. According to this view, the ultimate purpose of life is to find joy, contentment, and satisfaction in one’s pursuits and relationships. This might involve building close connections with loved ones, pursuing activities and hobbies that bring happiness, and working towards goals that bring a sense of fulfilment. Some people get satisfaction working for society quietly. They don’t make a noise about it.
Balbir Singh Seechewal (born 2 February 1962) is a Sikh who led an anti-river pollution crusade in Punjab, India. He is fondly called “Eco Baba” for his philosophy of belief in self-reliance added with act of strengthening the environment. Balbir Singh is a staunch believer in the essence of the Gurbani (Sikh term, very commonly used by Sikhs to refer to various compositions by the Sikh Gurus and other writers of Guru Granth Sahib). He has restored life into the 160 km long Kali Bein rivulet of Beas River in Doaba region of Punjab.
In the year 2000, Balbir Singh decided to put in efforts to stop the pollution and wastage of the water of Kali Bein River because of domestic and industrial waste. Like rest of India, rivers are considered sacred in the state of Punjab. Kali Bein had reduced to nothing but a drain because of all the waste that was being dumped in it. Some portions of the river had even dried up which resulted in enormous water problems in the surrounding farms. Balbir Singh began his campaign by educating local people the importance of cleaning of the river, many volunteers joined him for raising funds with the help of contributions from residents living on the banks of the river which included more than 24 villages. With this amount Balbir Singh and his volunteers’ group could purchase equipment required for cleaning. He had to propagate again and again urging villagers to dispose sewage in a particular place and not in the river. With a clean riverbed, natural springs were restored, and the river started to fill up once again!
The goal of life is a question that has puzzled philosophers and theologians for centuries. It is a deeply personal matter that varies from person to person and can be influenced sometimes by luck.
Nancy Davis and Ronald Regan (ex-American President) who was basically a famous actor, met on a dinner date to discuss some problems she was having with another Screen Actors Guild (SAG) actress with the same name. The other Nancy Davis was associated with Communist front groups and was in danger of being blacklisted in the 1950s. Nancy asked for help with this problem from Ronald Reagan who was one of SAG Board member. They got attracted to each other, and began dating, and after a nearly two-year courtship were married on March 4, 1952, at The Little Brown Church in the San Fernando Valley, California. It was her first and only marriage and Reagan’s second marriage.
I strongly believe that no encounter is incidental or meaningless. Each person reflects yourself and an opportunity to learn more about who you are and what you want.
