NASA astronaut Terry W. Virts woke up to an incredible sight from space Thursday morning — one he said was “better than any present” he could ask for.
“Sunrise on Christmas morning- better than any present I could ask for!!!!” tweeted Virts, who is currently aboard the International Space Station.
The image was widely circulated on the social media platform, amassing nearly 3,000 retweets and more than 4,200 favorites.
“So awesome,” one person tweeted back at him.

Message For the Day….” The Qualities One Must Develop for a Direct Vision of God …”
Embodiments of Divine Love! Adhere sincerely to your faith and traditions. Wherever you may be, do not give room for religious or any kind of differences. When we examine the root cause for differences or conflicts, you will find that the real reason is selfish minds, wearing the garb of religion or any other cause, and inciting conflicts amongst the people. If you desire to secure genuine peace in the world, you must hold morality (neethi) as superior to your community (jaathi). Cherish good feelings as more important than religious beliefs. Mutual regard (mamatha), equal mindedness(samatha) and forbearance (Kshamatha) are the basic qualities necessary for every human being. Only the person with these three qualities can be regarded as a true man. Hence all of you must cultivate these three sacred qualities assiduously. Using these qualities, give up all kinds of differences. Then love will develop in you. When love grows, you will have a direct vision of God.
” Nothing is Permanent in Life…Not Even our Worries … Keep Smiling !!! “
A joker told the audience a wonderful joke and all the people started laughing…
Joker repeated the same joke and only few people laughed..
He again repeated the same joke but this time no one laughed…
Then he told these beautiful lines…;
” when you cannot laugh on the same joke again and again…
then why do you cry again and again on the same worry”
So enjoy your every moment of life..!!
Life is beautiful…
Quotes from Charlie Chaplin….
(1) Nothing is permanent in this world, not even our troubles.
(2) I like walking in the rain, because nobody can see my tears.
(3) The most wasted day in life is the day in which we have not laughed.

America to Australia in 6 Hours !!!
From America to Australia in Under 6 Hours
|
| Now, the European Space Agency (ESA) just greenlighted the next stage of modern transportation – the hypersonic flight. The ESA has approved a new round of funding to project LAPCAT (Long-Term Advanced Propulsion Concepts and Technologies). |
|
| Ignoring its funny name, the new plane will fly at mach 5.0 speeds (that’s five times the speed of sound!), using liquid hydrogen engines. The planes will be able to travel from England to Australia in four hours, carry 300 passengers and even fly to space in just 15 minutes.
The new kind of engine is being developed by the British company Reaction Engines, who is said to invest over 60 million GBP in the development, and are going to start builing a full-scale prototype engine. |
|
| Current jet engines require that airplanes carry liquid oxygen as a coolant because in speeds beyond mach 3.0 the engines cannot use external oxygen for cooling. The new type of engine can use external oxygen freely, allowing it to cool down its engines from over 1,000°c (1,832°f) to -150°c (-328°f) in a fraction of a second. |
|
| Experts are hailing this development as the biggest advancement in aviation since the invention of the jet engine. The cost of a single plane is estimated to be a whopping $1.1 Billion and will have no windows. |
|
Just 100 years ago, getting from America to Europe was a voyage that took several days by ocean liners. With the invention of airplanes, that travel time was significantly shortened to under 24 hours. At the apex of the era of transatlantic flight, the Concorde was able to fly 100 passengers at mach 2.0 speeds from New York to London in just over 3.5 hours.
Hypersonic passenger plane LAPCAT A2 explainer
The Long-term Advanced Propulsion Concept and Technologies (LAPCAT) was developed by British company Reaction Engines Limited (REL) and funded by the European Space Agency (ESA). The 139-meter long hypersonic plane has four liquid hydrogen-powered Synergistic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine (SABRE) engines and can carry up to 300 passengers.
It can travel up to 6,100 kilometer per hour – five times faster than the Airbus A380. By using liquid hydrogen as fuel instead of fossil fuel it is also greener and would only produce water vapor and nitrous oxide instead of carbon emissions.

Message For the Day…” What is the Purpose of Divine Incarnation …” ?
People believe that Divine incarnations happen only for the punishment of the wicked and the protection of the righteous. But these represent only one aspect of the task. The granting of peace and joy, of a sense of fulfillment to seekers who have striven long —this too is His task. The Avatar, or form incarnate, is only the concretization of the yearning of the seekers. It is the solidified sweetness of the devotion of godly aspirants. The Formless assumes the form for the sake of these aspirants and seekers. They are the prime cause. The cow secretes milk for the sustenance of the calf. That is the chief beneficiary. But, as we see, others also benefit from that milk. So too, though the devotees are the prime cause and their joy and sustenance the prime purpose of an incarnation, other incidental benefits also accrue, such as fostering dharma, suppression of evil, and reforming, correcting or destroying the wicked.
Watch How One Monkey Saves the Life of another Monkey …
A monkey in Kanpur has turned into a hero overnight after it saved another monkey. The other monkey here was electrocuted when it was walking on high tension wires at the Kanpur railway station
This little guy tries everything from, biting, splashing water to slapping and hitting and does not give up until its friend regains consciousness.
This monkey clearly taught us a little lesson on how we humans forget to be human and how sometimes the smallest beings on Earth can show more humanity than we expect them to.

Message For the Day…” God is above and beyond the limits of Time and Space…”
There is no compulsive rule that incarnations should occur only on the earth and in human form. Any place and any form can be chosen by the fully free. Whichever place and form promote the purpose of fulfilling the yearning of the devotee, that place and form are chosen by the will of God. God is above and beyond the limits of time and space. He is beyond all characteristics and qualities, and no list of such can describe Him fully. For Him, all beings are equal. The difference between man, beast, bird, worm, insect, and even a god is but a difference of the ‘vessel’ (upadhi). The one single God activates every vessel and gives rise to manifold consequences. God appreciates the consciousness of unity as the basic motive of acts. He doesn’t appreciate the activity itself being one without variety; activity must be suited to the various needs
Message for the Day…” Choose to Spend Your Time in the Company of Divine …”
Exulting in praising the Lord is the hallmark of the real good. Avoid being in the company of people who revel in sensory talks. Choose to spend your time in the company of the Divine and be engaged in the Lord’s activities. Only those who act in accordance to the above are God’s own (Bhagavathas). Reading and enjoying the stories of the glory of Krishna (Lord) in a sacred hall, temple, shrine, or hermitage of a saint, or being in the company of the virtuous and the good — that is a source of great inspiration and joy. You can approach pious people, serve them, and listen to their exposition of the glories of God. Taste for such wholesome literature is the result of accumulated merit and effort. Listening will be enough in the beginning; later, the stories will arouse interest in the nature and characteristics of God, and the aspirant will seek and find for oneself the path to realisation.
