Message For The Day….In Silence You Can Hear The Voice Of God !!!!

Unfurl in your heart, the flag of infinite peace(Prashanthi). It should remind you to overcome the urge of low desires, anger and hate when your plans are thwarted; it must exhort you to expand your heart, to embrace all humanity and creation; let it direct you to quieten your impulses and calmly meditate on your own inner reality. Gradually, the lotus of your heart will bloom, from its centre the flame of divine vision of infinite peace will arise. Practise the disciplines of silence, cleanliness and forbearance. In silence, you can hear the voice of God. Through cleanliness you earn purity. By forbearance, you cultivate love. Feel that each moment is a step towards Him. Do everything as dedicated to Him, directed by Him, as work for His adoration, for serving His children.

Message For The Day…God is In Your Heart !!!

Brindavan is not a specific place on the map; it’s the Universe! All human beings are cowherds; all animals are cows. Every heart is filled with the longing for the Lord; the flute is the call of the Lord; the sport Raasakreeda (the sportive dance of little Krishna and the Gopees), is the symbol of the yearning and the travail to merge in God. The Lord manifests such Grace that each one of you has the Lord all for yourself; you need not be sad that you won’t have Him; nor need you be proud that you have Him and no one else can have Him! The Lord is installed in the altar of each and every one of your hearts. Revere the gift of this body, the senses, the intelligence, the Will and all the instruments of knowledge, action and feeling as essential for His work.

Now A Smartphone for Visual Impaired Persons ….An indian Invention !!!!

 

Here s another example of technological excellence for a social cause- a smartphone for visual impaired persons and that too invented by an Indian.

It is no more just taking calls and answering them but whole lot of functions including the one that enable the blinds to read and send the texts based on Braille system developed long time back. But its digital version is something that can revolutionize this pattern.

The device developed by Sumit Dagar whose company located in IIM Ahmedabad campus has a touch screen which can elevate and depress the contents allowing such persons to read and send texts.

Dagar who is post-graduate from the National institute of Design has joined hands with IIT Delhi to come out with the first Braille version of smartphone which could be a boon to millions of blinds. Given the fact that a mobile phone has become a necessity, Dagar is sanguine about immense response it would get.

Interestingly, it has come on the heels of the Chrome OS which supports a high-quality text-to-speech voice (starting with U.S. English) which could be immense benefit to the visually impaired people.

The latest stable version of Chrome, released recently, includes support for the Web Search API, which developers can use to integrate speech recognition capabilities into their apps. At CSUN, our friends from Bookshare demonstrated how they use this new functionality to deliver ReadNow,  a fully integrated ebook reader for users with print disabilities.

Google has also released a new Help Center Guide specifically for blind and low-vision users to ease the transition to using Google Apps.

It added Braille support to Android 4.1; since then, Braille support has been expanded on Google Drive for Android, making it easier to read and edit your documents. You can also use Talkback with Docs and Sheets to edit on the go.

With Gesture Mode in Android 4.1, one can reliably navigate the UI using touch and swipe gestures in combination with speech output.

ராம நாம மகிமை !!!

 

 

உலகிலேயே உயர்ந்த நாமம் ராமநாமம். “ஸ்ரீராமஜெயம்’ என ஒருமுறை சொன்னால் செய்த பாவங்கள் தீர்ந்துவிடும். ராமபிரான் இலங்கைக்கு செல்வதற்காக வானரங்கள் பாலம் அமைத்துக் கொண்டிருந்தன. எல்லா வானரங்களும் கற்களை தூக்கி கடலுக்குள் போட்டன. ஒவ்வொரு கல்லும் மற்றொரு கல்லின்மீது சரியாக அமர்ந்தது. ஆஞ்சநேயர் அந்தபணியை மேற் பார்வையிட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்தார். ராமபிரானும் இதை கவனித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தார். அவர் மனதிலும் ஆசை ஏற்பட்டது. நாமும் இந்தவானரங்களுடன் இணைந்து கல்லை தூக்கிப்போட்டால் என்ன என கருதியபடியே, ஒரு கல்லை எடுத்து கடலுக்குள் போட்டார். அந்தக்கல் சரியாக மற்ற கற்களின்மீது அமரவில்லை. அலை அடித்து சென்றுவிட்டது. ராமபிரானுக்கு வருத்தம்.

“இந்த குரங்குகள் போடும் கற்கள்கூட சரியாக மற்றொரு கல்லின்மீது அமர்ந்துவிட்டதே. நமது கல்லை அலைஅடித்து சென்றுவிட்டதே. இதற்கு என்ன காரணமாக இருக்கும்” என வருத்தப்பட்டார். ஆஞ்சநேயர் ராமனின் அருகில் வந்தார். அவர் அனைத்தையும் கவனித்துக்கொண்டுதான் இருந்தார்.

“ஆஞ்சநேயா! நான் செய்ததை நீ பார்த்துவிட்டாயா? எனக்கு ஒரு கல்லை போடக்கூட தெரியவில்லை. என்னை நினைத்து எனக்கே வெட்கமாக இருக்கிறது” என்றார்.
அதற்கு ஆஞ்சநேயர், “ஸ்ரீராமா! மற்ற குரங்குகள் எல்லாம் “ஸ்ரீராமஜெயம்’ என்ற உன் நாமத்தை சொல்லிக்கொண்டே கற்களை தூக்கிப்போட்டன. அவை சரியாக அமர்ந்தது. நீ ராமனாகவே இருந்தாலும் ராமஜெயம் சொல்லிக்கொண்டே போட்டிருந்தால் அது சரியாக அமர்ந்திருக்கும்” என்றாராம்.

ராம நாமத்தின் மகிமை அத்தகையது.

Message For The Day….Service To God Alone Matters…..

Today, the typhoon of hatred and falsehood is scattering the clouds of Virtue, Justice and Truth to the far corners of the sky. So long as man is capable of prema (love), dharma(righteousness) will exist, do not doubt it. When you direct thatprema to the Lord, your mental make-up will slowly and steadily undergo a revolutionary change. You will share in the sorrows and joys of your fellow-beings and experience bliss that is beyond the temporary gains and losses of this world. Your devotion to the Lord will undergo several changes. An important stage is one where service to the Lord alone matters and service alone is the reward – one does not seek anything more than just the opportunity of doing service Unto Him, to the best of one’s capacity.

 Sathya Sai Baba

Message For The Day…Follow and Practice Truthfulness and Righteousness ….

Ravana sought wealth and gratification of desire by utterly violating the principle of Right Conduct (dharma). He was a scholar par excellence who had mastered the sixty four disciplines of learning; whereas Rama had mastered only thirty two. However Rama put them into practice and thereby digested what he learnt, whereas Ravana failed to digest them. The indigestion arose in the form of desire (kama), which ultimately destroyed him. While Rama was the Embodiment of Dharma, Ravana remained as the embodiment of kama. Thus, there arose a conflict between Righteousness and the unrighteousness. Rama transformed Himself into the embodiment of Sathya, following the principle of dharma. This eternal warfare between righteousness and unrighteousness, truth and untruth, exists in the minds of every person. It is your primary duty to follow and practice the twin principles of truth and righteousness and win the game of life.

 Sathya Sai Baba

Message For The Day…Emulate Rama in Your Daily Life …

Rama is the embodiment of Dharma (Righteousness), which is the basis for the entire Universe. However deep and great our scholastic eminence or wealth may be, this birth is of no use without the transformation of the mind. Merely repeating Rama’s name is inadequate without realising the Rama Thathwa (Principle). A true human being is one who consistently practices the principle of dharma. Burning is thedharma of fire. Coolness is the dharma of ice. Fire is no fire without burning. Similarly the dharma of man lies in performing actions with the body, following the commands of the heart, deeply rooted in Divine Love. Every act performed with thought, word, and deed in harmony is an act of dharma. From today, emulate Rama in your daily life and transform yourself by following the path of Love.

 Sathya Sai Baba

Message For The Day…Understand and Enjoy The Bliss Of Rama Thathwa !!!!

The Rama principle (Thathwa) is laden with many subtle secrets. The Rama story is of exemplary excellence ethically, spiritually and materially as well. Rama was the embodiment of the four cardinal principles: truth, righteousness, love, and peace. The story of Rama teaches us how one should live in the world and conduct himself in the family as well as in society. It also teaches us how one should retain one’s individuality and shape one’s personality. Only when we shape ourselves into a strong personality can we conduct ourselves ideally in the family and in society. He also enshrined in Himself the principles of equanimity, unity and bliss. This principle of bliss is latent in every human heart. Understand and internalize that each and every one of you have a right to realise and enjoy this principle of bliss, which is the real Rama Thathwa.
