A person or an institution is to be judged according to their integrity, whether their acts are according to the principles professed. The mind, the body, and the word – all three must work in unison. When work (Karma) is thus disciplined and regulated, automatically your senses will become sublimated and you will attain everlasting Prasanthi (inner peace). From this will arise Prakanti (the great light), and from that will emerge Param Jyoti (Supreme Illumination). That Illumination will reveal the Paramatma (Divinity) present within you! You must achieve that success by following the path laid out for you – conquer anger and desire, achieve love through the practice of incessant meditation (Japa-Dhyana), which will lead to the blossoming of the lotus of the heart and the emergence of Divinity from within you! |

Message For The Day…God is the Moving Force in Everyone…
|
The unmistakable sign of rain is the wetness of the ground. So too, the sign of an educated person, who has had several years of schooling is good manners. Such a person will be humble knowing that the field of knowledge is so vast that even after years of learning one has hardly touched its fringe. They must also be aware of their kinship with all beings and must show a keenness to serve others gladly, at all times, without any desire for publicity. The educated children must move with everyone in a friendly manner, without inhibitions, knowing that God is the moving force in everyone. God is behind all good impulses and useful attitudes. All of you are separate beads, strung together on one common thread, which is God. |
Do We Have to Fire Crackers During Diwali ? … Let Us Think Again …
LET US SHOW THE WORLD THAT WE CARE FOR OUR MOTHER NATURE …
| |
Deep (light) avali (rows), a row of lights that taught us to vanquish ignorance that subdues humanity and to drive away darkness that engulfs the light of knowledge.
But Diwali Today means : –
More ‘air, noise, light, land & social’ pollution due to use of lots of firecrackers;
More patients for hospitals after the festival;
Really bad news if there’s no wind and rain to lessen the effects of the smoke.
Highly polluting nature of these firecrackers lead to a plethora of diseases………
Pollutants Can lead to…
· Suspended Particulate Matter Asthma, cancer, restrictive lung diseases, pneumoconiosis
· Respirable Particulate Matter Respiratory illness (chronic bronchitis and asthma), heart diseases
· Sulpher Dioxide (SO2) Eye burning, headache, respiratory problems like pulmonary emphysema, cancer, heart diseases
· Nitrous Oxides Lung irritation, chest tightness, viral infection, airway resistance
During this festival (3 to 5 days), It has become a custom to enjoy Deepawali through lighting lamps, exchanging Sweets & “BURSTING FIRE CRACKERS”.
First two are better ways to enjoy, but what about the third one??
Are you aware what is the impact of bursting Fire crackers on the environment?? it affects Environment in the following ways –
1. Air Pollution affecting health especially to diseased persons, aged people, children & pregnant women.
2. Water & land pollution will pollute our resources rivers, lakes etc.
3. It takes several weeks to bring the air quality back to normal.
4. Fire hazards causing heavy damages to life and property.
5. Social nuisance leading to community disharmony.
6. Sound pollution causes:
· Palpitation of heart
· Spasms of the digestive system
· Dilation of the pupils of eyes
· Emotional disturbances
· Continuous exposure to loud noise may lead to permanent deafness
Crackers like “atom-bomb” and “Lakshmi Pataki” contain highly toxic heavy metals like cadmium, lead, copper, manganese and zinc. Others have arsenic, mercury, chromium and iron oxides which lead to severe pollution after they are burnt. 95 per cent of the crackers available in the market violate noise and air pollution norms.
Crackers like flowerpots, ‘zamin chakras’ and other fancy fireworks may not add to sound pollution but they make up for it by doing extra effort on the air pollution part.
We ask all of you to unite together and Say No to crackers on Diwali. Let us all become responsible citizens.
Also ask all your friends and family members to celebrate Cracker less Diwali.
Show the world that you care for our mother nature .

Divine Image Of The Day…. With Diwali Wishes…
Wishing you and your family a very Happy Diwali and a prosperous New Year . May the blessings of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi shower on us good health, wealth, prosperity, peace, love , friendship , happiness and above all contentment in our hearts with whatever we have been blessed with…
With lots of good wishes,
While Diwali is popularly known as Deepawali or the “festival of lights”, the most significant spiritual meaning behind it is “the awareness of the inner light”. The celebration of Diwali as the “victory of good over evil”, refers to the light of higher knowledge dispelling all ignorance, the ignorance that masks one’s true nature, not as the body, but as the unchanging, infinite, immanent and transcendent reality. With this awakening comes compassion and the awareness of the oneness of all things (higher knowledge). This brings ananda (joy or peace). Just as we celebrate the birth of our physical being, Diwali is the celebration of this Inner Light. This is the time for celebration with fireworks, the lighting of lamps, sweets & bonding of family and friends. The Festival is also associated with wealth & prosperity.
I always think of Him who remembers Me I require no conveyance, carriage, tonga nor train nor airplane. …BABA

Message For The Day… HE will Steer You thro the Heaviest Odds….
|
Hatred does not exist in God’s nature; He is all mercy and full of love! Lord Krishna proceeded to the Kaurava court, as a messenger of peace, with compromise proposals to show how one should be patient and self-controlled, when provoked and during difficult times. The Lord has no favourites or rivals. Like fire, He spreads warmth to everyone near Him. If you do not feel the warmth, do not blame Him; instead blame yourself that you are far from Him! Hiranyakashipu said, ‘He is nowhere’ and so, He was nowhere for him; Prahlada asserted ‘He is everywhere,’ and He appeared from the pillar to prove him true. God did not have to run into the pillar in order to come out of it, to reply to the challenge of the father. He was there all along, just as He is in everything else. He had only to make Himself visible! Take Him as your charioteer. He will steer you through the heaviest odds.

Message For The Day….You Need Not Suffer From ” karma “….
Some might argue that the inheritance (Karma) of the previous births has to be suffered in this birth and that no amount of grace can save you from that. Evidently, someone has led you to believe so. The Grace of the Almighty knows no bounds or limits! I assure you, you need not suffer from Karma like that. When severe pain torments you, the doctor gives you a pain killer injection and you do not feel the pain, though it is there in the body. God’s Grace is like the pain-killer. Nothing can stay in the way of the Grace of the Lord. If you win His Grace, you will not feel the pain, though you go through Karma. Just as medicines with expired dates are ineffective, so too, the effect of Karma is then rendered ineffective, or null and void!
