When the Lord is pleased with anybody, he gives him Viveka and Vairagya and takes him safe beyond the ocean of mundane existence.

Message For The Day….The Best Reward for an Individual is to Merge in the Divine …
The purusha (man) is ‘he who lives in the pura,’ that is the physical body. He who lives in the Universe, which is His body is Purushotthama, the Supreme. A tiny ant creeping over the foot is cognised by your consciousness; that is because, a purusha has consciousness filling the entire body. The Purushotthama too has consciousness filling and activating His entire body, which is the Universe; and hence He is omniscient. The soul is the vyasthi (individual), the samashti (all of Creation) is God. The best reward for the individual (Purusha) is to merge in the Divine (Purushotthama). And the path is through the Knowledge begotten by action and love for God.

Message For The Day….Learn to Make The Best Of Life Thro Spiritual Flight !!!!
The mood and behaviour of people in cinema halls, marriage halls, exhibitions or while watching a game is very different from that of a spiritual gathering! The mood during entertainment is very different as the crowd there are moved by totally different impulses. However, in a gathering devoted to the needs of the spirit, what is expected is calm, reverential and eager attention, prayerful silence. Silence is most needed in all spiritual gatherings where deeper spiritual disciplines are discussed. Only the eye and the ear need function, the tongue has no business to wag. Everyone then will be able to receive completely, the gift of love and grace. Learn to make the best of life, this chance offered to you to sublimate your instincts, impulses and impressions on the mind from past deeds (Vasanas) and rise higher and higher in the moral and spiritual plane.

Indonesia Installing Goddess Saraswathi Statue @ Massachusetts !!!
From David McAuley. Email him at david[AT]borderstan.com.
Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) 2B, at its monthly meeting last night, April 10, unanimously supported a request by the Embassy of Indonesia to erect a statue of a Hindu goddess on public space on Massachusetts Avenue NW. It also unanimously called on DC’s Historic Preservation Office (HPO) to improve its operating procedures and communication both with ANCs and with the public.

Statue of Saraswati on Public Space
The Commission heard a presentation by Heru Subolo, Minister-Counselor for Press and Information Affairs of the Embassy of Indonesia, asking for ANC support for a proposed statue of Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, arts and science, to be erected on a public space next to the grounds of the Embassy at2020 Massachusetts Avenue NW.
Subolo told the committee that the statue had been approved by the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Foreign Missions. Subolo also said that the planned site for the statue had been moved, at the request of the DC government’s Historic Preservation Office (HPO), from its original planned location at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and 21st Street (also adjacent to the Embassy), to a location next to the sidewalk further west along Massachusetts.
The location is currently fenced in. Subolo said that the fence would be removed to make the statue accessible to the public.
“I’m really happy to open up a fenced space,” said Kevin O’Connor, ANC commissioner for district 2B-02.
“This is a wonderful addition to our neighborhood and to our nation’s capital. Hindus across DC and around the world are ecstatic about this beautiful statue of Saraswati. It is so fitting that it will be installed just a stone’s throw from the also magnificent statue of Mahatma Gandhi — the only statue of a Hindu in DC,” said Kishan Putta, ANC 2B-04 commissioner.

Message For The Day…Strength Derived From the Divine Is Only The True Strength …
It is believed that every man has a free will. This is a mistake. It is also believed that it is through the individual’s ideas and efforts that many things are accomplished. This is based on misconceptions regarding man’s doership and egoism. Strength derived from the Divine alone is true strength. All else is weakness. To realise theAtma, physical prowess is of no avail. It is only by developing the sense of spiritual oneness, that the Atmic Consciousness can be realised. Today the world is plunged in chaos and conflict because this feeling of oneness has been lost. Man engages himself in strenuous efforts to achieve worldly comforts. But he does not make even a minute fraction of such efforts to meditate on God. How much greater happiness would he enjoy if he were to devote even a few moments to thoughts of God!
Message For The Day….Inner Voice Of Ours Remain Unchanged From Infancy to Old Age !!!
You may wonder, ‘How is it that the Atma is present in all?’ When you meditate in solitude on this question, a permanent, unchanging sound arises from the mind. All objects manifest the power of the atom. Every object is composed of atoms. It is the nature of atoms to combine and to separate. But in all human beings there is one unchanging and indivisible divine entity, the Inner Voice. The body undergoes change from infancy to old age, but the Inner Voice remains unchanged. People experience three different states of consciousness in the waking, dreaming and deep sleep states. But the Inner Voice has no change in the gross or subtle states of the body. What is that Voice? It is the divine Inner Voice issuing from the Atma-thathwa (Atma Principle). It is continually declaring: ‘I, I, I..’ – ‘Aham, Aham, Aham’. This is the Truth that is subtler and more fundamental than the atom.
Message For The Day….Avoid Doing Harm or Causing Pain to Others …
The holy culture of this ancient land has been spoilt by just one impurity; intolerance of another’s success, prosperity or progress. If you cannot help another, at least avoid doing harm or causing pain. That itself is a great service. What right have you to find fault with or to talk evil of another? When you say that nothing can ever happen on earth without His Will, why get annoyed or angry? Your duty is to cleanse yourself and engage in your own inner purification. That endeavor will bring you the cooperation of all good men and you will find strength and joy welling up within you.
Message For The Day…You Are Yourself Paramatma ….
When the senses are brought under control by the mind, the mind itself ceases to function; it disappears as it were. Then man experiences a profound silence. That stillness resulting from the absence of the mind is true Knowledge (Jnana). This knowledge cannot be acquired by intellectual ability or mental agility, nor by following an example. It is sui generis. Consider the ashes which cover a burning charcoal or the moss which covers a sheet of water. The ashes have come from the charcoal. The moss has originated from the water. The cataract that dims the vision of the eye, wherefrom has it come? From the eye itself! When the screen that blinds the vision is removed, the true Self will be seen in its real form. Atma Jnana is not obtainable through books, preceptors or even Paramatma (the Supreme Self). You are yourself theParamatma, the Jnana, the Atma.
Message For The Day…Pardon The Fault Of Others …
When you go to a doctor, you must take the medicine that he prescribes and follow his advice and instructions. There is no use blaming him if you default. How can the doctor cure you if you do not take medicines or follow the diet restrictions and regulate your intake according to his advice? Similarly, follow My advice and then watch the result. Also remember, it is a sign of foolishness to brood over mishaps and mistakes once committed, and punish oneself by refusing to take food and so on. What good is it to ill-treat the body to correct the mind? Even as you deal with your own faults strictly, you should pardon that of others. Do not misunderstand their motives and scandalise them; perhaps their motives might be as noble as yours or their action might be due to ignorance, rather than wickedness or mischief.
