To appreciate the beauty of nature which is God’s creation, we sometimes need to take time off. Go off to a place, where there is no worry of going for work, paying bills, reaching targets, impressing your boss doesn’t come into your mind and thoughts.
And, at that time when there stillness of unnatural sound of
City traffic, cars moving, vacuum cleaner from next door neighbour or the
blasting rap music, all that you can hear is the sound of Birds Chirping, occasional
sound of Kookaburra which almost sounds like a human laugh or the sound of a
Bird that’s like an electric Guitar or simply the rustling of leaves and
swinging of branches with the wind – that is the time you become aware of the beauty
of the landscape of nature, mountains, clouds and the orange sunlight. I am talking
of a recent visit I did to the beautiful Hare Krishna farm community at Murwillumbah
a border town at NSW, which is actually a 45 mins drive from Gold Coast, Queensland.
There, I captured some of the scenes, beautiful landscape of the farm, while staying
on one of the Farm Cottages.

Reminds
me of an English Melody and translation called 'O God Beautiful’, written by
Paramhansa Yogananda. The original chant called 'Hay Hari Sundara' written by
the 15th century Sikh Guru Nanak.
O
God beautiful! O God beautiful!
In
the forest, Thou art green,
In
the mountain, Thou art high,
In
the river, Thou art restless,
In
the ocean, Thou art grave!
To
the serviceful, Thou art service,
To
the lover, Thou art love,
To
the sorrowful, Thou art sympathy,
To
the yogi, Thou art bliss!
O
God beautiful! O God beautiful!
At
Thy feet, O I do bow!
