Wonders of Jagannath Temple

Friends,

             
     I would like to bring  very interesting wonders  of puri temple... 

7 Wonders of Jagannath  Temple as follows –

1.Flag always flap in opposite direction of air

2.From any place in Puri you will find Sudarshan Charka (Charka at top of Temple) is facing to you only

3.Normally in day air comes from sea to land and at evening opposite way but in Puri it is totally opposite

4.No bird or planes fly above the Temple

5.The shadow of the main dome is not visible at any time in any direction

6.The quantity of cooked food inside the Temple remains same for entire year. But same prasadam can feed few thousand people and 20 lac people also; still it won’t not get waste or never lag

7.In Jagannath Temple kitchen, 7 pots are kept on each other and  cooked on wood fire. In this process top pot get cooked 1st and bottom one last. After entering from Singhadwara’s first step inside the Temple. can’t hear any voice of ocean and when you cross the same step outside you can hear it. Mostly we can notice this at even time clearly.

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.

What Is Real Wealth?

            Srimad Bhagavatam tells that even if one conquers the entire universe one cannot be satisfied or free from anxiety unless one controls one’s own mind and senses. So this is real wealth. True wealth from a realistic spiritual prospective is not what we accumulate – fame, power, wealth, skills, longevity of physical life. All of these things we strive for thinking they will give us happiness.

  Real wealth is happiness that is not subjected to the ever changing conditions of this world. Because whoever we are, whatever position we may hold, this world is full of uncertainties – honor, dishonor, pleasure, pain, happiness, distress, health, disease, fame and infamy, the birth and death of love ones. Often times these qualities are out of our control.

Ø  So real happiness is transcendental to all of the changes in this world and we must deal with the things of this world from the prospective of service, rather than from the prospective of being the enjoyer because of the lack of fulfillment inside..

In an evolved human society, people love people and they use things.

                   But unfortunately, the way the world is today, all too often people love things and they use people to get them.

 

Thus there is a very large crisis of trust in this world, and it creates so many problems in relationships. When our relationships are based upon values, we can trust each other. We can only be trusted when we are trustworthy—when we are faithful, when we have a higher integrity than what the mind and the senses are always demanding.

              As technology is spinning us into higher and higher dimensions, we have to balance that with what is actually required to have quality in life; things alone cannot give us quality life; appreciation and gratitude for natural gifts, for each other, and for God’s grace—that gives quality life. When we use the incredible resources that are available in the world with that spirit, we can be instruments of enormously positive change within the world.

            

       And making that inner connection with the simple essence of life can actually be fulfilled by sincerely chanting God’s names.

Dear Friends,
         Vinayaka chaturthi is the festival of love & devotion where members of family a lot ,taking & giving  from and to environment is main motto of the festival ...


To be able to choose the most appropriate ecosensitive solution it is important that we understand the environmental impacts of Ganesh Chaturthi.

These can be summarized to be the following:

1. The water pollution caused by the immersion of Plaster of Paris idols into natural water bodies.
2. The water pollution by chemical paints used on these idols.
3. The waste generated by the non biodegradable accessories used during the worship.
4. Noise pollution
5. Traffic congestion
6. Increased consumerism
Amongst these the first two can be partially resolved by a shift to Eco sensitive materials and practices.
Possible solutions:

Since the main issue around water pollution has got to do with the idol immersion ritual, several people are now suggesting a slight variation of this ritual to avoid water pollution. These include:



1. Immersing the idol in a water tank constructed by the government, instead of directly into natural water bodies.
2. Using only a natural clay idol and immersing it either in the tank or in a bucket of water at home.
3. Immersing a 'betel nut' which symbolizes the idol and reusing the same idol every year.
4. If one is using a PoP idol, simply sprinkling a few drops of water on it as a symbolic immersion and donating the idol to be recycled for the following year.






best wishes my dear friends enjoy the day and wishing u a great and lovely vinakya chaturdhi.......... 
    I pray to my sweet lord  that he should give enough strength and courage to meet our goals which help our country to be  supreme power

               

         wish you all  HAPPY ECO GANAPATI CHATURDHI 

                goooo greennnnn... :)

"God is like a power house, an electrical powerhouse. And we are all like different light bulbs. ...

 

But whatever power we have at any level, it is coming from the ultimate source that current is flowing and every living being in the human form of life has the independent free will to use that energy and channel it according to their desire. We may channel it motivated by greed, lust, envy, anger, pride and illusion; or we may channel that same energy with compassion, with love, with concern for others and with devotion."
