Dr.Kalam : The Missile man

Nobody could have put it better. Kalam the missile man was the embodiment of every Indian ideal. His rags-to-success story made him an achiever against insurmountable odds; contribution to Indian defence and military gave him the aura of a nationalist; conduct in the Rashtrapati Bhawan turned him into a People's President-- a People's Prince type epithet that instantly gave the West a measure of his popularity; and his inspiring speeches and books made him a hero of the youth and children.

As a son, student, scientist, President, teacher, preacher, poet, writer, aficionado of classical Indian music, inspiration for a film (I am Kalam) and the new Chacha of children of India, Kalam lived an all Indian dream.

MSD : BEST SKIPPER EVER SEEN IN THE GAME OF CRICKET

In a nation where cricket's a religion, MS Dhoni's achievements make him a superstar in his own right. His legacy of being the only skipper in the world to win the World T20, the ODI World Cup and the Champions Trophy, will be very hard to emulate in the future. His calm composure, his mental strength during tough situations make him one of the coolest customers in the game. He has some big admirers, not just off the field, but on the field as well. Let's take a look at some of the best quotes on arguably India's most successful captain.

Why does Krishna keep flute with him?

Why does Krishna keep flute with him?

Lord Krishna is expert in 16 aspects. His personality encompasses different aspects of life. These include His rasa dance and the flute. It is believed that He started playing flute when He was taking the calves to the forest. In the book Radha Madhav Chintan it is stated that all the Gopis contacted the flute and asked her what type of austerities it has performed that it is always in contact with Krishna's transcendental lips. "You always enjoy the nectar from His lips. You make Him dance and make Him stand on one leg. When He fiddles you with His fingers it seems He is massaging your legs. He makes you sleep on His hands and His lips are your pillows. When His hairs fly in the breeze it seems they are fanning you. Even Radharani expressed Her envy as She thought that Krishna loves the flute more than Her.

The flute replied," I got my body cut. The they drilled me and made me hollow and then they made holes in me and the real secret is that I surrendered to Him and allowed Him to play on me as He wants. The difference between me and you is that I go by Krishna's desire and you all want Krishna to act as per your desire.

Note: There are three reasons for Krishna's love for the flute.
a. The flute has no knots - means she is very straight. No complexity. No feeling of revenge or gettingbackatadversities.
b. She makes sound only when played - means no useless talk.
c, Whenever it produces sound it is always sweet. If we also develop these qualities we can also become dear to Krishna.

Neela Chakra

The metal wheel at the top of Lord Jagannath temple is known as Neela Chakra (Blue Wheel). The wheel is made of eight metals comprising of iron, copper, zinc, mercury, lead, brass, silver and gold. It's circumferance is about 36 feet and it is so designed that there is a wheel within the wheel. The circumferance of the inner wheel is about 26 feet. Eight hubs join together the inner and the outer wheels. There are decorative designs on the outer wheel. The thickness of the Neela Chakra is 2 inches.

The wheel is said to be Lord Vishnu's most powerful weapon, Sudarshana Chakra (disk). Inside Lord Jagannath temple, Lord Vishnu's wheel is also worshipped in the name of 'Sudarshana'. But inside the temple Sudarshana is not in the shape of a wheel, but in the shape of a small wood pillar placed to the left of image of Lord Jagannath. It is believed that the same Sudarshana is also at the top of the temple and is known by the name of Neela Chakra. There is a specific category of people among the temple sevayats to serve the Neela Chakra and they are known as Garuda Sevaka or Chunara Nejoga. The pilgrims hold these sevayats in high esteem because everyday at Sunset the Garuda Sevakas climb to the top of 214 feet high temple to fasten flags , offered by the devotees, on the bamboo mast attached to the Neela Chakra. The pole attached to the Neela Chakra is 38 feet long. After covering the breadth of the Neela Chakra, this pole extends 25 feet high above it.

Weight          2200 kg 
Height          11'8"
Diameter      7'6"
Thickness of Paridhi          2 inch

Width of Paridhi                9 inch

Diameter of central circle    2'6"

Number of wheel bars         8

Length of each wheel bar     1'10"

The pilgrims consider it an act of holiness to offer flags for the Jagannath temple. Everyday the Garuda Sevaka carries number of big and small flags to the top of the temple. The flags are either deep red or yellow in colour, but a crescent moon and a sun in white colour cloth deck the centre of a flag. The length of the flag varies from 1 feet to 25 feet and may be more. A devotee has to pay to the temple committee a certain price to tie the flag and the price is determined by the length of a flag.
The sevayat before climbing the temple must dress himself in proper clothings. He wears silk cloth and the upper part of his body remains bare. He ties the flags, offered by the devotees, around his waist which he has to tie on the mast that day. He also carries a wooden stick in his hand and sets out to climb the temple. The stick in hand is meant to be used against the monkeys who may attack. He climbs so swiftly that within minutes he is seen at the crest of the dancing hall of the main temple. From here he has to climb about a hundred feet steep wall to reach the Neela Chakra. He climbs this wall in a very peculiar manner, his back to the wall and his two outstretched legs on two raised parts of the wall. After climbing the body of the temple he reaches the head of the temple. This part is orange-shaped and it is impossible to climb this without any help. There is a device made of iron rings and a rope attached permanently on the head of the temple and He reaches the Neela chakra with the help of this. The entire breath taking exercise of reaching the Neela Chakra from the temple floor takes around 20 minutes. After climbing the Neela Chakra, he removes the old flags from the pole and ties the new ones.

The Blue Wheel, at the top of 214 feet high Jagannath Temple, serves very practical purpose technically by protecting the high rise temple from thunder strokes and lighting. The eight metal alloy has the capacity to absorb the ferocity of thunder bolts and thus the gigantic stone-moment remains unharmed. There is a four-inch wide metal-plate which serves as an earthing, it connects the wheel and a well in the southern side of the temple, close to the Goddess Vimala temple. This metal plate is about 300 feet long.

UNTOLD STORIES OF MAHABHARATHA :CATERER OF MAHABHARATHA WAR

How Udupi King fed the Kurukshetra warriors:

Five thousand years ago, the Kurukshetra war, between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, was the mother of all battles. All the kings – hundreds of them – aligned themselves on one side or the other. The king of Udupi (Coastal Karnataka) however chose to remain neutral. He spoke to Krishna and said, ‘Those who fight battles have to eat. I will be the caterer for this battle.’ Many of the Udupi people are caterers even today.

No wastage :

The battle lasted 18 days, and every day, thousand soldiers died. So the Udupi king had to cook that much less food, otherwise it would go waste. The amazing thing was that every day, the food was exactly enough for all the soldiers and no food was wasted. After a few days, people were amazed, ‘How is he managing to cook the exact amount of food!’ No one could know how many people had died on any given day.

Krishna’s maya :

When someone asked the kind of Udupi, ‘How do you manage this?’ the king replied, ‘Every night I go to Krishna’s tent. Krishna likes to eat boiled groundnuts in the night so I peel them and keep them in a bowl. After he is done I count how many nuts has he eaten. If it’s 10 peanuts, I know tomorrow 10,000 people will be dead. So the next day when I cook lunch, I cook for 10,000 people less.

After Watching BABY movie.

The whole world vision towards India has changed , in this changed perspective doesn't our intelligence and counter terrorism method too need a change ?

It is surprising that this movie BABY comes in the time of our new national security adviser Mr Ajit Doval talking about "offensive defense" mechanism ie when we simply 'defend' ourselves 10 out of 100 stones sent by our enemies hit us , 'offensive defense' is when we strike at the "source' of the 100 stones and neutralize it .BABY is a movie which showcases this changing perspective in India , it does it brilliantly with fast paced action, amazing sequences that keep your heart racing all through out the movie.This movie is far ahead of D Day in the sheer brilliant way it is executed.

There is no rhetoric and no beating about the bush in the movie , the movie is fast not dark , smart not rhetorical and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
A MUST MUST MUST WATCH for every INDIAN !

Guys hope you will enjoy the film.. I enjoyed alot...

Jai Hind...

SCIENCE BEHIND TEMPLE CONSTRUCTION

There are thousands of temples all over India in different size, shape and locations but not all of them are considered to be built the Vedic way. Generally, a temple should be located at a place where earth's magnetic wave path passes through densely. It can be in the outskirts of a town/village or city, or in middle of the dwelling place, or on a hilltop.

I think some of the reasons behind the temples discussed below:

·  Temples are located strategically at a place where the positive energy is abundantly available from the magnetic and electric wave distributions of north/south pole thrust.

·      “Moolasthanam” is where earth’s magnetic waves are found to be maximum. We know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic scripts, buried beneath the Main Idol. What are they really? No, they are not God’s / priests’ flash cards when they forget the “shlokas”. The copper plate absorbs earth’s magnetic waves and radiates it to the surroundings.

·        A person regularly visiting a temple and walking clockwise around the Main Idol receives the beamed magnetic waves and his body absorbs it.

·    Sanctum (holy place) is closed on three sides. This increases the effect of all energies. The lamp that is lit radiates heat energy and also provides light inside the sanctum to the priests or “poojaris” performing the pooja.

·   The ringing of the bells and the chanting of prayers takes a worshipper into trance, thus not letting his mind waver.

·        When pooja is done in groups, this helps people forget personal problems for a while and relieve their stress.

·       “Theertham”, the “holy” water used during the pooja to wash the idol is not
plain water cleaning the dust off an idol. It is a concoction of Cardamom,Karpur,saffron, “Tulsi” (Holy Basil), Clove, etc...Washing the idol is to charge the water with the magnetic radiations thus increasing its medicinal values. It is a very good blood purifier, as it is highly energized.

·        Men are not allowed to wear shirts at a few temples and women are requested to wear more ornaments during temple visits because gold and hair absorbs more positive energy.

Friends they are not supernatural things it is science …

Rather than saying it as a myth why can’t we show the world that Indians were  good engineers scholars scientist………………………….. 

in my view  going to temples not for worshiping god but also for building good relation among people and also to get positive attitude and energy tooo.........  

To be a great RISHI ,you need to be a great SCIENTIST...

How is it that all of a sudden, through 1000's of years of human history, all the great scientists of the western world were born together??? Was it a lottery into the materialistic development of countries like UK, USA, Germany, etc.???

Only an Indian, who is well aware of his culture, can raise such a question, as westerners give less scope for going against them.

The truth is that when Newton's forefathers were monkeys, Bhaskaracharya, an Indian scholar, wrote an entire book on gravity. Einstein was wise enough to accept that the source of inspiration for all his research was Indian culture.

Our science, though lot more advanced, was never patented, as the generations who lived then, did lot of research beyond the materialistic world as well.

But when thieves arrived our country, they had no option but to steal and register our research in their names. All they needed was a stamp which gave them a license to steal our research.

Greatness of our country..

Friends I would like to share some of the great and interesting points about our country...

India invented the Number System. Zero was invented by Aryabhatta.

India never invaded any country in her last 10000 years of history.

India was the richest country on earth until the British invaded in the early 17th Century. Christopher Columbus was attracted by India's wealth.

Bhaskaracharya calculated the time taken by the earth to orbit the sun hundreds of years before the astronomer Smart. Time taken by earth to orbit the sun in the 5th century - 365.258756484 days. The art of navigation was born in the river Sindh 6000 years ago. The very word Navigation is derived from the Sanskrit word NAVGATIH. The word navy is also derived from Sanskrit 'Nou'.

The value of "pi" was first calculated by Budhayana, and he explained the concept of what is known as the Pythagorean Theorem. He discovered this in the 6th century long before the European mathematicians. According to the Gemological Institute of America, up until 1896, India was the only source for diamonds to the world.

Usage of anesthesia was well known in ancient India medicine. Detailed knowledge of anatomy, embryology, digestion, metabolism, physiology, etiology, genetics and immunity is also found in many ancient Indian texts.

Sushruta is the father of surgery. 2600 years ago he and health scientists of his time conducted complicated surgeries like cesareans, cataract, artificial limbs, fractures, urinary stones and even plastic surgery and brain surgery. Usage of anesthesia was well known in ancient India. Over 125 surgical equipment were used. Deep knowledge of anatomy, physiology, etiology, embryology, digestion, metabolism, genetics and immunity is also found in many texts. The earliest reservoir and dam for irrigation was built in Saurashtra.

 

Chess (Shataranja or AshtaPada) was invented in India. When many cultures were only nomadic forest dwellers over 5000 years ago, Indians established Harappan culture in Sindh Valley, known as the Indus Valley Civilization.

The World's First Granite Temple is the Brihadeswara temple at Tanjavur in Tamil Nadu. The shikhara is made from a single '80-tonne' piece of granite. Also, this magnificient temple was built in just five years, (between 1004 AD and 1009 AD) during the reign of Rajaraja Chola.

India is the Largest democracy in the world, the 6th largest country in the world and  one of the most ancient and living civilizations (at least 10, 000 years old).

The game of snakes & ladders was created by the 13th century poet saint Gyandev. It was originally called 'Mokshapat.' The ladders in the game represented virtues and the snakes indicated vices. The game was played with cowries’ shells and dices. Later through time, the game underwent several modifications but the meaning is the same i.e. good deeds take us to heaven and evil to a cycle of re-births.

If our ancestors can do miracles in the time where technology is not that much appreciable,think once what we can do with the technology we had with us right now without harming nature  …..

It’s not about technology it is about attitude and respect towards nation as well as love towards the nature. Think once……..J

Everyday Life:The Four Regulation Principles..

Friends,

           What i feel about everyday principles ..our friend lord KRISHNA said some works(sinful activities) that should not be done by person in the society .......

                   

Anyone serious about society must try to avoid the following activities:

1.Gambling. Gambling invariably puts one into anxiety and fuels greed,envy and anger.

2.The use of intoxicants.Drugs,alcohol and tobacco,as well as any drinks or foods containing caffeine,cloud the mind,over simulate the senses,and make it impossible to understand or follow truth.

3.Eating meat,fish or egg.these foods are saturated with the modes of passion and ignorance and therefore cannot be offered to lord. a person who eats these foods participates in a conspiracy of violence helpless animals and thus stops his spiritual progress dead in its tracks.

4.Illicit sex.This is sex outside of marriage / sex in marriage for any purpose other than procreation.the scriptures teach that sex is the most powerful force binding us to the world which always act as an a  obstacle to reach our goals....

                                        

Relationship with Krishna

We all have relationships—no one lives in a vacuum—and each of us also has a relationship with the Supreme Person,Krishna. Our basic relationship with Krishna is that of parts to the whole: God is great; we're small. 

He is like the sun, the ocean, or fire; we're like the sun's rays, drops of the ocean, or sparks of the fire.

Ultimately, God is the source of our existence, and we're all parts of His energy. As such, we all have an inseparable relationship with Him.

How we relate with Him is up to us. Most people in this material world are trying to forget God entirely. The Prema-vivartaand other Vedic writings say that we've come here in the first place because we want to forget God, or Krishna, and He allows us to do that. He doesn't interfere with our free will. He keeps Himself out of sight, maintains us at a distance, and provides all our necessities of life while patiently waiting for us to turn towards Him again.
