Message For the Day…” Desire and Greed are Your Perpetual Enemies…”

A person filled with greed, fear and anger cannot achieve anything in this world. Excessive desires degrade man. You cannot give up desires entirely. But there should be a limit to them. When they exceed the limits you will go astray. Desires are dreadfully dangerous. Today’s enemy may become tomorrow’s friend and vice versa. But desire and greed are your perpetual enemies. They will haunt ceaselessly. The Gita clearly declares desire as the Nithya-shathru (eternal enemy) of man. Hence keep desire under control. Embodiments of Divine love! Always remember, the person without egoistic pride will be liked by everyone (Maanam hithvaa priyo bhavathi). The secret to be free from grief is to be without hatred (Krodham hithvaa na sochathi). One who has given up desire is free from worries (Kaamam hithvaa aarthona bhavathi). If you overcome greed you will become happy(Lobham hithvaa sukhee bhavathi).

Message For the day…” God Tests His Devotees only to Lift them up to a Higher Level…”

People want to get all they desire and get disillusioned or disappointed when their desires don’t materialise. You cannot always have pleasure. Pleasure is an interval between two periods of pain. They are like sunshine and shadow. Accept both with equanimity. Sandalwood gives more and more fragrance when it is subjected to more and more grinding. Sugarcane yields tasty juice when it is nicely crushed. Gold gets purer and refined when it is burnt and melted in fire. So also a true devotee will never falter in their love for God even when faced with troubles and obstacles in their life. God tests His devotees only to lift them up to a higher level in the spiritual ladder. True devotees lead sacred lives which gets sanctified when they face obstacles and problems with full faith in the Divine.

Dancing Traffic Light !!!

 

This is a Brilliant Idea! Can’t Wait to See It…

We all hate waiting. That is why many pedestrians don’t have the patience to wait at the traffic light, preferring to cross whenever they deem fit. To increase pedestrian safety, an idea was born: What if we make the red pedestrian traffic light so entertaining, people would be happy waiting? Here is what happened with that idea…

We believe that smart ideas can turn the city into a better place. Like a dancing traffic light that makes people wait and watch rather than walk through the red light. FOR more safety. #WhatAreYouFOR

Message For the Day…” Regard anything That Happens as a Gift from God …”

The devotee’s feelings determine their concept of God. When a devotee prays, “Oh Lord! I am suffering intensely. Can’t you see the troubles I am going through?” The Lord appears to him only as a pair of eyes. Today, most people meditate and during meditation, they appear like yogis. After the meditation is over, they return to their daily activities, immersing themselves in mundane pleasures. This is not the way of life the Lord preached. Lord Krishna declared: Sathatham Yoginah (Be yogis at all times). Think of the Divine at all times, in all situations, in whatever you see, do, say or experience. To pray to God when you are comfortable and to blame God when you are in trouble reflects a selfish and narrow outlook. What is bound to happen cannot be prevented. Regard anything that happens as a gift from God. It is only when you develop such faith and love for God that true spirituality can grow.

International Space station Fly over Australia…

From the International Space Station, NASA astronaut Scott Kelly (stationcdrkelly on Instagram) took this photograph and posted it to social media on April 6, 2015. Kelly wrote, “Australia. You are very beautiful. Thank you for being there to brighten our day. #YearInSpace”

Kelly and Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko began their one-year mission aboard the space station on March 27. 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.

A 70-year-old woman commuter was exiting the train when her foot got caught in the gap between carriage and platform. What happened next will raise your spirits.
Dozens of commuters waiting on the platform rushed to help and, in perfect coordination, used brute force to rock the train carriage and free the trapped passenger.
The driver of the train was also reportedly alerted.
According to LifeNews, it took the commuters about 15 seconds to rescue the passenger in trouble. She was then taken to hospital to be treated for her injured leg.
