Image of the Day….Milky Way !!!
Malibu stargazer
We’re getting many comments this month about the return of the Milky Way for late night and early morning stargazers.
View larger. | Shreenivasan Manievannan calls this photo Malibu Stargazer.
Our friend Shreenivasan Manievannan posted this photo to EarthSky Facebook. He wrote that, from this beach in southern California, even with all the light pollution from nearby Los Angeles, the Milky Way rose and was visible to the unaided eye. Thank you, Shreenivasan! Beautiful photo.
We’re getting many comments this month about the return of the Milky Way for late night and early morning stargazers. The best time to see it in the evening is around August, but you can also glimpse it now – stretching across a dark country sky – if you stay up late, or get up early.
Bottom line: Malibu stargazer, a photo by Shreenivasan Manievannan. Visit his page on 500px.com.

Message For The day… Sri Rama Navami…”Ramayana must be Experienced in the Heart…”
Today is a sacred day to recapitulate the Glory of God and His relationship with human beings. Ramayana is not a story that had an end. You are living it. Ramayana must be experienced in the heart; not investigated as a mental phenomenon. As you go on reading and ruminating, its inner meaning will become clear even as your mind is cleansed. Rama is the son of Dasharatha(one with ten chariots). The ten chariots are the senses, the fiveKarmendhriyaas (sense organs of action) and the fiveJnaanendhriyaas (organs of perception). Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi and Prema are the four children of King Dasharatha. Rama is Sathya; Bharatha is Dharma; Lakshmana is Prema and Shatrughna is Shanthi. Take these great characters from Ramayana as your life’s ideals, your life will be filled with peace and joy.
படித்ததில் பிடித்தது ….”மனித நேயம் மனிதர்களுக்கு மட்டும்தான் சொந்தமா …”?
கொல்லாமையை வலியுறுத்தி
கொள்கைகள் பேசும்
உங்கள் நாக்குகளால் – நான்
வாரந்தோறும் புசிக்கப்படுவது
வழக்கமாகி விட்டது.
ஐந்தறிவு கொண்ட ஆடுகளைக் காட்டிலும்
ஒரறிவு குறைவான என் இனத்தை
அதிகமாக பலியிடுவது ஏன்?
சுவையும் மிகுதி- விலையும் குறைவு
~ சுயநலம்தான் காரணம்.
நெற்பயிரை கொத்தவரும்போது
என்னை நித்தமும்
துரத்தியடிக்கும் மனிதர்களே…
என் முட்டைகளைத் திருடும்போது மட்டும்
உங்கள் மனசாட்சி உறுத்தவில்லையா?
கழுத்தைத் துண்டாக
வெட்டி கறி விருந்து படைக்கும்
கண்ணியவான்களே…
மனிதநேயம் என்ற சொல் மனிதர்களுக்கு மட்டுமா சொந்தம்?
கூரை மேல் ஏறிக் கூவிய எங்களை
கூடையிலும், பையிலும்
அடைத்துச் செல்லாதீர்கள்!
கடைசி நிமிஷங்களுக்காக
காத்திருக்கும் எங்களிடம்
இப்போதாவது கண்ணியத்தை
கடைப்பிடியுங்கள்.

Image of the Day…Soyuz Spacecraft Ready to be Launched on March 28…
The Soyuz TMA-16M spacecraft is seen after having rolled out by train to the launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, Wednesday, March 25, 2015. NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonauts Mikhail Kornienko and Gennady Padalka of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) are scheduled to launch to the International Space Station in the Soyuz at 3:42 p.m. EDT, Friday, March 27 (March 28, Kazakh time). As the one-year crew, Kelly and Kornienko will return to Earth on the Soyuz TMA-18M in March 2016.
Most expeditions to the space station last four to six months. By doubling the length of this mission, researchers hope to better understand how the human body reacts and adapts to long-duration spaceflight. This knowledge is critical as NASA looks toward human journeys deeper into the solar system, including to and from Mars, which could last 500 days or longer.

Amazing Art By an Artist Who Can Not See …
Painting with TexturesIn 2001, John Bramblitt lost his eyesight after an epileptic episode. Shortly after, Bramblitt started painting in a most interesting way: By using textured paint, John can tell where he painted and what, allowing him to virtually “see” the painting. The resulting paintings are a thing of beauty, rivaling and even surpassing art created by artists with perfect sight.

About the Artist:
In this Art Therapy Video from Veria Living, Blind Artist John Bramblitt began to lose his eyesight when he was just 11 years old, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at his work. He uses a special fabric paint that leaves raised lines on the canvas so he can track his progress. For colors, he says each color of paint has a different feel. He knows the colors by touch. Believe it or not, John says the world’s a much more colorful place now that he’s blind.

Message For the Day…” One has to get guided by ‘Shastras’ For attaining Peace and Liberation…”
The almanac (calendar) might indicate that ten units of rain will fall, but even if the daily sheet on the calendar is folded ten times and squeezed, not a drop of rain can be extracted. The purpose of the calendar is not to give rain but only to give information about rain and its quantity; its pages do not contain the ten units of rain which is there only in the clouds above. So too, the scriptures (shastras) can only give information about doctrines, axioms, rules, regulations, and duties. The sublime characteristics of the Vedas, the Upanishads, and scriptures are that they give instruction in the methods of attaining peace and liberation. But they aren’t saturated with these essences of bliss; one can’t collect the essences by squeezing the texts. One has to discover the path, direction, and goal as described in them, and then tread the path, follow the direction, and reach the goal.
Thought For the Day….
Beautiful Thoughts for a Beautiful Life
Life would be perfect if…
anger had a STOP button
Mistakes had a REWIND button
Hard times had a FORWARD button
and Good Times a PAUSE button
The bird asked the bumblebee:
“You work so hard to make the honey and humans just take it away, doesn’t it make you feel bad?“
“No,” said the bee, “because they will never take from me the art of making it.”
What stands behind us and what stands before us are tiny matters compared to what is within us.
The happiness of our lives depends on the quality of our thoughts. But the quality of our thoughts depends on the people in our lives.
|
We receive a lot of unconditional love when we’re born.
We receive a lot of unconditional respect when we die.
We just need to learn how to handle the between.
 Remind this to all those you love!

“Palace of Pebbles…”
A Handmade Palace of PebblesWhen French postman Ferdinand Cheval walked his route, he would collect pebbles and put them in his wheelbarrow, taking them home with him. It all began when Ferdinand tripped over a strangely-shaped rock, which he then decided to pick up and take home with him. In 1879, Ferdinand’s hobby became a real project – once he was done with his work, he would work on constructing his pebble palace through the night. 33 years later, Ferdinand finally completed his palace, now known as Le Palais ideal.

Message For the Day…” 2 Things You Must Forget: The Help You Rendered to Others and the Harm Others have done to You…”
Everyone in this ephemeral and transient world aspires for peace and security. But money, education, position of authority and physical comforts cannot confer peace and security. Peace originates from the heart. You can experience peace and security only when your heart is filled with love. Most people today are bereft of gratitude, which is one of the most essential qualities. They forget the help rendered to them by others. As long as you are alive, you should be grateful for the help you received from others. There are two things you must forget: the help you rendered to others and the harm others have done to you. If you remember the help you rendered, you will always expect something in return. Remembrance of the harm done to you by others generates in you a sense of revenge. Always remember only the help you received from others. The one with these sacred qualities is an ideal human being.
