Message For the Day…” Never Submit Yourself to the Evil Qualities…”

 

Each and every one of you is a spark of the Divine. Lord Krishna declares in Bhagavad Gita, “You are all essentially Divine, you are eternal and ancient. Do not conduct yourself as a human being nor be beastial in your attitude and behavior”. Each one of you is endowed with the sacred qualities of Truth, Righteousness, Love, Peace and Non-Violence. Hence, all of you must conduct yourself in accordance with these noble virtues. Never submit yourself to the evil qualities such as lust, greed, anger, jealousy, hatred and avarice. These do not befit the life of any human being. At times, changes in place or food habits give rise to other behavioural tendencies. Hence, be aware and take pure food and pure water regularly and in a timely manner. Lead a happy life, as a true human being, by observing all the rules and regulations.

” வருக வருக ஜய ஆண்டே … ”

வருக வருக ஜய ஆண்டு

சித்திரைக் கோடையில்
சூடான காற்றும்
மர நிழலில்
ஒய்வு கொள்ளும்!

மரநிழலும்
மரத்தடியில்
வெய்யிலைக் கண்டு
வெளிறிப் போகும்!

வெய்யிலில்
வேப்ப மரங்கள்
வியர்வைத்துளியாய்
பூக்களைச் சிந்தும்!

பூக்களாம் மகிழ்ச்சியை
நம் நெஞ்சில் பரப்பி
ஜயப் புத்தாண்டு
ஜயமே கொடுக்கும்!

One serene image has been viewed by over one billion eyes, has been seen in videos of the White House and even the Russian government–the default Windows XP computer background.

O’Rear, a former National Geographic photographer said he was driving through the Napa Valley on his way to visit his girlfriend in San Francisco when he came across a beautiful landscape with perfect grass and an almost clear sky.

In a video about the photo, O’Rear says that even though the photo appears to be taken in a calm environment, the road there is one of the most dangerous and busy roads he’s driven on.

Despite the dangerous road, the image couldn’t be more placid. He took his old film camera and snapped the famous photo in 1996.

O’Rear says by the time he took the picture there were a few clouds in the sky but when he first saw the photo worthy setting the sky was completely clear.

Several years later, Microsoft commissioned the photo for Windows XP, reports Time. They flew O’Rear out to their offices to personally deliver the photo.

‘I had no idea where it was going to go,’ ‘O’Rear said in the video.

‘Anybody now from age 15 to the rest of their life will remember this photograph.’ he said.

‘I’m thrilled to know that people have had pleasure from looking at that, from looking that a photograph that I made.’

O'Rear stopped to snap the photo as he was driving along this busy road from Napa Valley to Sacramento

” This Cute Kid Will Make Your Day …” !!!

 

 

This 3 year old Chinese boy is amazingly bright for only three, and he proudly gets on stage with his ‘baby’ (a mobile speaker) to show the judges his dance. To be honest, even before he started to dance, I was already in love. This is one of the cutest toddlers I’ve ever seen.

Message For the Day… “Give up Ego and Enjoy Bliss…”

Suppose you dream that you are being bitten by a snake, and are struggling with pain, shouting and frantically searching for medicines. Now even though you are bitten by a snake, do you take medicine to remove the poison? No, you don’t do that, because this happened in your dream. You perhaps will even forget the pain, as soon as you wake up, isn’t it? Similarly today you are in deep slumber of ignorance and worldly attachments and hence undergo a lot of suffering. The world is ephemeral and full of misery. You suffer only because of ignorance and body attachment. The moment you are awakened from the slumber, your problems will be solved. Anyone and everyone who aspires to lead a happy life must reduce body attachment. You develop ego because of your position, associations, physical strength or wealth. If you want to enjoy bliss, never give any scope for ego.

NASA Has An Answer to ” Mysterious Light On MARS …” !!!

 

Sorry, mysterious glow on Mars is not life !!!

KINDLY SEE MY EARLIER POST  ” Mysterious Light On Mars ….Will Somebody Throw Some ” Light ” on This !!! ”  before reading this post…

Washington, April 12 (IANS) The strange “glow” spotted on the Red Planet by Curiosity is not a sign of life. It is either a shiny rock or a glitch in the rover’s camera, NASA has said.

UFO blogger Scott Waring had claimed that the new photograph taken by the rover suggests there are intelligent creatures living underground.

However, NASA said it has now investigated the image, and found it is simply a trick of light.

“One possibility is that the light is the glint from a rock surface reflecting the sun,” a NASA spokesperson was quoted as saying by mailonline.uk.

“When these images were taken each day, the sun was in the same direction as the bright spot, west-northwest from the rover, and relatively low in the sky.

“The rover science team is also looking at the possibility that the bright spots could be caused by cosmic rays striking the camera’s detector.”

NASA’s engineers believe the glow may have been caused by sunlight reaching the camera’s sensors through a vent hole in the camera housing.

The agency said this has happened previously on other cameras on Curiosity and other Mars rovers when the geometry of the incoming sunlight relative to the camera is precisely aligned.

NASA also revealed that such glitches are commonplace.

“Among the thousands of images received from Curiosity, ones with bright spots show up nearly every week.”

Curiosity takes images using two cameras, one in its right eye and the other in its left.

While the image from the right eye shows this bright spot, the same image from the left eye does not.

Message For the Day…” Ensure Your Kids are on The Right Path at All Times…”

 

Young students are innocent. Their hearts and minds are pure, and they are selfless. In the primary school, you will find that many of them observe perfect discipline and are well behaved. By the time they are in secondary school, the purity and discipline slowly decreases. When they reach a college or university, everything becomes topsy-turvy! What really happens in between? As they grow in years, their mental balance is upset; they lose the steadiness of mind and self-control. They are exposed to undesirable influences. At this stage, teachers and parents must practice exemplary behavior and ensure that the children are on the right path at all times. Students also must bear in mind that all the regulations and discipline that are prescribed are for their highest good and in their own interests.

” Think Differently “… That is What Kids Do !!!

Kids Just Think Differently
I’m a huge fan of Bill Cosby’s old show: “Kids say the darndest things”. Because nothing can beat the innocence and inexperience of a child when it comes to funny lines. They sometimes say things that adult comedians would just never think of saying, and it’s all the more hilarious for it!

“Close the curtains,” requested our 2 year old granddaughter, sitting in a pool of bright light. “The sun’s looking at me too hard.”

My friend asked our grandson when he would turn 6. He refreplied, “When I’m tired of being 5.”

Seeing her first hailstorm, Mary Sue, age 3, exclaimed, “Mommy, it’s raining dumplings!”

As I frantically waved away a pesky fly with a white dishtowel, my granddaughter observed, “Maybe he thinks you’re surrendering.”

A friend’s grandson, 4, was reading with his granddad about Adam and Eve. He asked, “Is this where God took out the man’s brain and made a woman?”

Announcing to daughter Lori that her aunt just had a baby and it looked like her uncle, she said, “You mean he has a mustache?”

When I asked our grandson if he could name the capital of Florida, he fired right back, “Capital F!”

While shampooing our son, 4, I noted his hair was growing so fast he’d soon need it cut. He replied, “Maybe we shouldn’t water it so much.”

My daughter told her 5-year-old that their van was going to be fixed. Instantly, the small fry assumed, “Oh, it’s going to the tire-o-practor?”

Impressed by her 5-year-old’s vocabulary, my friend complimented the young scholar, who nonchalantly responded, ” I have words in my head I haven’t even used yet.”

His Mom informed her son, Brian, that she was going outside to get a little sun. “But Mommy, he gulped, “You already have a son. Me!”

When our son asked about two look-alike classmates at school, we told him they were probably twins. The next day, he came home from school all bubbly and said, “Guess what! They are not only twins….they’re brothers!!”

Message For the Day…”With Self Confidence, You Can Achieve Anything…”

 

People today depend on their intelligence, physical strength and money, but do not have as much confidence in their own Self. When you have Self-Confidence, you can achieve anything. You may have wealth or money (Dhana Bala), but how long will it last? It is like a passing cloud; it comes and goes. How long will this wealth called people (Jan Bala) – family and friends, last? As long as you have power, position and wealth, people will surround you. Hence all of these are transitory. You will receive true respect in this world, when you have the strength of the Soul. Therefore, lead your lives with the strength of the Divine to attain the Divine. With faith in God, you must resort to good activities. As is the action, so is the result. Every step you take, must lead you to His proximity. Make every effort to get close to God. Then, you will be triumphant in life.
