    Mysteries in pictures

    Blogging in TamilWe were discussing about

    how blogging concept has

    made the Internet bigger than

    the Internet itself.

    While owning a website (Free

    or purchased) requires exten-

    sive work to publish the HTML

    stuff online, though some web

    hosting sites provide templates

    etc, still its a painful experi-

    ence.

    However, blogging has made

    things lot simpler. Now you

    can directly type on the site

    and publish your thoughts and

    ideas within few seconds. Blog-

    ging has made all non-

    computer people to own their

    own space on the Internet and

    air their day-to-day experi-ences.

    Whats more most of the blog

    hosting providers are doing a

    great job by allowing us to

    publish in our own mother

    tongue.

    Now you can publish your

    blogs (Web + Log = Blog)

    instantly in Tamil. Visit this site

    and take necessary guidance

    and help and Start Blogging

    Life of ChristSource: http://www.lifeofchrist.com/life/lifescan/

    Miracles of Jesus

    Jesus did many miracles to show others that he was God's son. God gave Jesus power over nature,power over disease, and even power over death!

    Power Over NatureJesus and his disciples were crossing the Sea of Galilee in a small boat one evening. While Jesuswas sleeping, a fierce storm came, and began to sink the boat. The disciples woke him.Jesus arose and rebuked the storm saying, "Peace be still." It became calm, and Jesus said to them"Where is your faith?"The disciples were afraid, saying "Who is this, that even the wind and sea obey him?" (Mark 4:35-41)

    Power over Disease

    One day a crowd was following Jesus on a road near Jericho. Hearing the crowd, a blind beggarasked what was happening. They told him Jesus was passing by. The blind man cried out "Jesus,have mercy on me!"Jesus stopped, and asked what he wanted. "Lord, I want to regain my sight," he replied. Jesus said,"Receive your sight; your faith has made you well." Immediately the man could see, and the crowdbegan glorifying God. (Mark 10:46-52)

    Power over DeathJesus had a friend named Lazarus, who lived in Bethany with his sisters, Mary and Martha. WhenJesus learned that Lazarus died, he came to Bethany.

    Now Lazarus had been dead for 4 days, and a boulder covered the cave where his body was. Jesusasked them to remove the stone. He then shouted "Lazarus, come forth!" And Lazarus came out,restored to life!

    After seeing this, many witnesses believed that Jesus was the son of God. (John 11:1-45)

    Discover IslamSource: http://www.dislam.org/en/a.49839.html

    The 1st Word (The Worth of Bismillah)

    Bismillah (In the Name of God) is the start of all good things, so we shall start with it. This blessedphrase is a mark of Islam, one constantly recited by all creatures through their tongues of disposi-tion. If you want to perceive its inexhaustible source of strength and blessing, consider the follow-ing allegory.

    The 2nd Word (The Way to Contentment)

    If you wish to understand how to enjoy great contentment and blessing through belief, and how toexperience fulfillment and ease, listen to the following parable: Two people travel for both pleas-ure and business.

    The 3rd Word (Choosing the Right Way)

    If you want to understand the bliss and benefit that come with prayer, and the loss and destruc-tion that come with vice, dissipation, and ignoring Gods commands, listen to this short symbolicstory.

    The 4th Word (The Prescribed Prayers' Value)

    A comparison illustrating the value and importance of the five daily prayers, and the ease they af-ford to the spirit, heart, and mind.

    The 5th Word (The Right Training for Believers)

    A comparison showing that man's true duty is worship of God and to avoid grievous sins.

    The 6th Word (The Supreme Transaction)

    If you want to understand how profitable and honorable such a transaction is, listen to the follow-ing parable: A king entrusted two servants with one estate each, including all necessary workshops,machinery, horses, weapons, and other equipment.

    From all these things, we must come to the conclusion that getting rich is the result of

    doing things in a certain way.

    If getting rich is the result of doing things in a certain way, and if like causes always

    produce like effects, then any man or woman who can do things in that way can become

    rich, and the whole matter is brought within the domain of exact science.

    The question arises here as to whether this certain way may not be so difficult that only

    a few may follow it. As we have seen, this cannot be true (as far as natural ability is

    concerned). Talented people get rich, and blockheads get rich; intellectually brilliant

    people get rich, and very stupid people get rich; physically strong people get rich, and

    weak and sickly people get rich.

    Some degree of ability to think and understand is, of course, essential, but insofar as

    natural ability is concerned, any man or woman who has sense enough to read and un-

    derstand these words can certainly get rich.

    Also, we have seen that it is not a matter of environment. Yes, location counts for some-

    thing. One would not go to the heart of the Sahara and expect to do successful business.

    Getting rich involves the necessity of dealing with people and of being where there are

    people to deal with, and if these people are inclined to deal in the way you want to deal

    so much the better. But that is about as far as environment goes. If anybody else in your

    town can get rich, so can you, and if anybody else in your state can get rich, so can you.

    Again, it is not a matter of choosing some particular business or profession. People get

    rich in every business and in every profession, while their nextdoor neighbors in the

    very same vocation remain in poverty.

    It is true that you will do best in a business which you like and which is congenial to

    you. And if you have certain talents which are well developed, you will do best in a

    business which calls for the exercise of those talents.

    Also, you will do best in a business which is suited to your locality: An ice cream parlor

    would do better in a warm climate than in Greenland, and a salmon fishery will succeed

    better in the northwest than in Florida, where there are no salmon.

    But, aside from these general limitations, getting rich is not dependent upon your engag

    ing in some particular business, but upon your learning to do things in a certain way. If

    you are now in business and anybody else in your locality is getting rich in the same

    business, while you are notgetting rich, it is simply because you are not doing things in

    the same way that the other person is doing them.

    No one is prevented from getting rich by lack of capital. True, as you get capital the in-

    crease becomes more easy and rapid, but one who has capital is already rich and does

    not need to consider how to become so. No matter how poor you may be, if you begin to

    do things in the certain way you will begin to get rich and you will begin to have capital

    The getting of capital is a part of the process of getting rich and it is a part of the result

    which invariably follows the doing of things in the certain way.

    You may be the poorest person on the continent and be deeply in debt. You may have

    neither friends, influence, nor resources, but if you begin to do things in this way, you

    must infallibly begin to get rich, for like causes mustproduce like effects. If you have

    no capital, you can get capital. If you are in the wrong business, you can get into the

    right business. If you are in the wrong location, you can go to the right location.

    And you can do so by beginning in your present business and in your present location to

    do things in the certain way which always causes success. You must begin to live in

    harmony with the laws governing the universe.

    CHAPTER 3

    Is Opportunity Monopolized?No ONE IS KEPT POOR BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE MONOPOLIZED THE WEALTH and have put a fence

    around it. You may be shut off from engaging in business in certain lines, but there are other channels

    open to you.

    At different periods the tide of opportunity sets in different directions, according to the needs of

    the whole and the particular stage of social evolution which has been reached. There is abundance of

    opportunity for the person who will go with the tide, instead of trying to swim against it.

    So workers, either as individuals or as a class, are not deprived of opportunity. The workers are not

    being kept down by their masters; they are not being ground by the trusts and big business. As a

    class, they are where they are because they do not do things in a certain way.

    The working class may become the master class whenever they will begin to do things in a certain

    way. The law of wealth is the same for them as it is for all others. This they must learn, and they will

    remain where they are as long as they continue to do as they do. The individual worker, however, is not

    held down by an entire classs ignorance of these laws; he can follow the tide of opportunity to riches,

    and this book will tell him how.

    No one is kept in poverty by a shortness in the supply of riches; there is more than enough for all.

    A palace as large as the capitol at Washington might be built for every family on earth from the building

    material in the United States alone, and under intensive cultivation this country would produce wool,

    cotton, linen, and silk enough to clothe each person in the world finer than Solomon was arrayed in all

    his glory, together with food enough to feed them all luxuriously.

    The visible supply is practically inexhaustible, and the invisible supply really is inexhaustible.

    Everything you see on earth is made from one original substance, out of which all things proceed. New

    forms are constantly being made, and older ones are dissolving, but all are shapes assumed by one thing.

    There is no limit to the supply of formless stuff, or original substance. The universe is made out ofit, but it was not all used in making the universe. The spaces in, through, and between the forms of the

    visible universe are permeated and filled with the original substance, with the formless stuff with the

    raw material of all things. Ten thousand times as much as has been made might still be made, and even

    then we should not have exhausted the supply of universal raw material.

    No one, therefore, is poor because nature is poor or because there is not enough to go around.

    Nature is an inexhaustible storehouse of riches; the supply will never run short. Original substance

    is alive with creative energy, and is constantly producing more forms. When the supply of building

    material is exhausted, more will be produced. When the soil is exhausted so that food stuffs and materials

    for clothing will no longer grow upon it, it will be renewed or more soil will be made. When all the gold

    and silver has been dug from the earth, if humanity is still in such a stage of social development that itneeds gold and silver, more will produced from the formless. The formless stuff responds to the needs of

    mankind; it will not let the world be without any good thing.

    Hey flowing waters of the ocean

    Dont you care for others emotion?

    You show your wrath and wash us away

    I am sure you know that you cant repay?

    Oh my sweet little child benign

    You know not the role of mine

    For I am here not to show my fury

    And reveal not the secret of the Jury.

    Hey creepy insects you surround

    And make me go round and round

    Trembling with fear and pain

    For the damage you may cause me again.

    Dont run, I will give you a solution

    I do my duty as part of the evolutionForget not your own history

    Unveiled it will remain a mystery.

    Whom to be accused for my sorrow

    As no takers to lend or borrow

    I am nailed to cross by my deed

    As I had acted always in greed

    Wealth and gold came my way

    Fame and fortune held me in sway

    Lost the balance of my mind

    Is there any one to guide this blind?

    Listen to your silence inside

    Guidance is not there outside

    Splash your life with innocence only

    Paint other hearts with love gladly

    Silence is a difficult task to achieve

    My mind does chatter and grieve

    Tell me clearly the concept of guidance

    I know not anything as I am a dunce

    Purify your mind and heart daily

    Your thoughts must soar sublime gaily

    Master your mind of clever

    Achieve the silence for ever

    To be continued ...

    Who are you?Poem By

    There are few who may be interested in spirituality in its real sense. According to them, the

    term spirituality means the intense longing of the soul to be united to the Supreme Cause of

    this universe and beyond. They are very clear between the two terms religion and spirituality.

    For such people, religion is a relatively insignificant term, which after following for a long

    time and may be for many lives cannot satisfy or feed enough, the severe longing of the soul.

    They beleive that religion is good upto a certain stage in the evolution of the soul, till they are

    able to discriminate what is the righteous mode of living. Once they are through with this basic

    way of conducting their life, they are not ready to make their soul stagnate at that state, depriv-

    ing its evolution.

    They want 1. something more to pursue in their daily life without renouncing their family and

    material life, 2. they need a spiritually evolved personality to lead them on to that path, 3. theylike to meet and interact with spiritually inclined (like minded) people, which would enable

    them to follow the path and evolve with a greater pace.

    For such sincere spiritual seekers, I would like to suggest a system called as Sahaj Marg (The

    Natural Path) also called as Sri Ram Chandra Mission. This system falls under the category of

    Raja Yoga system of Meditation, simplified for the modern man. This is a non-profit organiza-

    tion, spread throughout the world. Sahaj Marg does not see any differences between religion as

    they beleive firmly that spirituality begins where religion ends. They do not force you tochange your existing religious practise, because they beleive that change within you should oc-

    cur naturally without any force. This system is mainly for the Grihastas and so there is no need

    for renunciation of your beloved family, on the contrary they insist that you need to love your

    spouse, family and children in a balanced way.

    To know more about Sahaj Marg, please visit, http://www.srcm.org/and http://

    www.sahajmarg.org/. I have been practising this system for the past two and half years and

    could find it very efficient. I hope all sincere seekers will benefit by joining the mission andmake your life more meaningful.

    Vishnu Purana

    Compiled by the Dharmic Scriptures Team

    All these elements have different and distinct powers. Without their combination, creation of the universe wasimpossible. In the beginning, all these elements were present in the great ball or egg, which came into exis-tence because of the inspiration of the Lord. As this ball increased in size, it formed the base as Prakriti in

    which, Lord Vishnu Himself entered as Hiranyagarbh.

    When the universe comes into existence, Lord Vishnu fosters it till the end of Kalpa. At the end of Kalpa, LordVishnu Himself devours the entire physical elements in Rudra appearance. During that time, He inundates theentire universe and Himself sleeps on Shesha in Ksheersagar. When he awakes once again, He begins theprocess of creation in the appearance of Brahma.

    Birth of Brahma and Salvation of Earth by Varaha

    At the end of the previous Kalpa, when Brahma awakened from his long slumber, he saw all the worlds de-void of everything. With a desire to salve the earth from the depth of unfathomable inundation, He took theappearance of Varaha. Entering the water, He reached Paataaloka. Seeing Him, the earth prayed Him withrespect. Hearing her prayers, the Lord roared with frightening sound. Then, He supported the earth on Hisgreat incisors and came out from the abysmal depth. When He was rising, His breath produced big sprays ofwater, which drenched sinless sages while the force of His breath frightened common creatures. When theLord emerged from the water, all the sages prayed Him with reverence and respect.

    Very soon, the Lord installed the earth at a position far above the unending stretches of water. Then, Lordcarved out the topographical features on earth and divided it into many divisions and created all the fourworlds. Then Lord Vishnu in the guise of Brahma carried out the process of creation.

    As soon as Brahma thought of creation, Tamoguni (full of darkness) creatures were the first to appear. Ab-sence of knowledge and presence of evils like attachment, anger etc. were the main virtues of these crea-tures. These creatures include lower organisms, trees, shrubs, creepers, plants and grasses. These togetherconstitute the primitive world. Their creation was followed by the appearance of animals and birds, which aredevoid of wisdom and are full of ego. They are also unaware of the nature of another organism of their status.

    Still unsatisfied with His creation, Lord created the next world, which has a somewhat elevated position. Theliving beings that were produced in this world had internal and external knowledge, power of reflection andloved physical comforts. Though this creation pleased the Lord, He was still unsatisfied. So He created thenext world, which was situated at a somewhat lower position. This new world had excess of all the three vir-tues. Human beings populate this world and because of excess of vices, they are full of sorrow but at thesame time, highly active, have internal and external knowledge and are able to attain their goals.

    The first few creations had resulted from the thoughts of the Lord. For the creation of the gods, the demons,Pitraganas, human beings and water, the Lord decided to use His body. Thus, the demons were the first toemerge from His thighs. The Lord then shed His dark body, which formed the night. Then from His mouth, theLord produced the gods who had Sattvic virtues. The Lord then shed His Sattvic body as well from which theday came into being. It is also the reason why the gods acquire more strength in day and the demons arestronger during nights. Then the Lord acquired yet another body and behaved like Pitraganas to producePitraganas before shedding that body too, which gave rise to the dusk- the twilight between the day and thenight. Thereafter, the Lord acquired a new body with Rajas virtue from which the human beings were pro-duced. When the Lord shed that Rajas body it formed dawn- the twilight between the night and the day. Italso explains why the human beings are stronger at dawn and Pitraganas at dusk.duced Yajurveda. From west-facing head, He produced Samaveda and from His north-facing head, He pro-duced Atharvaveda.

    Divisions of Earth and Origin of Cereals

    With the desire of creating the world, Brahma produced different kinds of human beings from his different or-gans. Thus, from his mouth, Brahmins appeared. Kshatriyas appeared from his chest, Vaishyas from histhighs and from his feet, Shudras appeared. Thus, physical body is the greatest means for human beings inorder to achieve his goals. With time, the human beings lost their divine virtues and perfections. Jealousy,sorrow, decay and infighting began to rise among the people. In order to earn their livelihood and run their lifepeacefully, the human beings developed agriculture and other handicrafts.

    "O sage! Paddy, barley, wheat, lesser cereals, sesame, millet, rice, peas, pulses, beans, rye, gram and hempare common agricultural produce that have edible as well as medicinal values in the villages. These and otherproduce are also used as oblations in the Yagyas because all of them have produced as a result of Yagyas.Performing Yagyas daily is the most virtuous exercise that every human being should undertake. This de-stroys the sins committed by common people."

    Birth of Prajapatis and their Progeny

    At one point, the process of creation got saturated and no increase took place in the number of living beings.Then, with a desire of continuing the creation, Lord created nine sages from His thought. Then he producednine daughters and handed them over as the wives to those nine sages.

    When initially produced sons of Brahma took to asceticism, He got very much infuriated. His anger wasenough to burn all the three worlds. From this anger, Rudra originated who was shining like the Sun. Rudrahad appeared in half-masculine and half-feminine form. Immediately after His appearance, Rudra separatedHis body into eleven male parts and eleven female parts.

    Then Swayambhu Manu appeared from the body of Brahma. He agreed to follow Brahmas dictate of continu-ing creation. He got a woman Shatrupa who had also appeared along with him. Together they begot twosons, Priyavrata and Utaanpaad and two daughters, Prasooti and Aakooti. These two daughters were mar-ried to Daksha and Prajapati respectively.

    Prajapati and Aakooti gave birth to twins, Yagya and Dakshina. Yagya and Dakshina got married and pro-duced twelve sons who later on came to be known as Yaam, the gods.

    Daksha and Prasooti produced twenty-four daughters, thirteen of which were married to Dharma. The remain-ing eleven daughters were married to Bhrigu, Shiva, Marichi, Angira, Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratu, Atri, Vashishta,Agni and Pitars.

    From his thirteen wives, Dharma produced Kama, Darpa, Niyam, Santosh, Lobha, Shrut, Dand, Naya, Vinay,Bodh, Vyavasaay, Kshema, Sukh and Yash. Kama got married to Rati and produced Harsh. Darpa marriedHinsa and produced a son Anrit and a daughter Nikriti. Anrit and Nikriti got married and produced Bhaya andNarak and their wives Maya and Vedana. Maya produced Mrityu, the destroyer of all the creatures in theworld. Vedana produced a son, Dukh. Mrityu produced Vyadhi, Jara, Shok, Trishna and Krodh. These are allthe fierce appearances of Lord Vishnu and cause Pralay.

    The omnipresent eternal God creates this world in the form of Manus, protects it and ultimately destroys it.There are four kinds of Pralay- Naimittik, Prakritik, Aatyantik and Nitya. Among them, Naimittik is Brahma Pra-lay during which God takes a nap. During Prakritik Pralay, the universe annihilates in nature. Annihilation ofYogi in the Supreme Being is Aatyantik Pralay and a decay of physical elements that continues day and nightis Nitya Pralay.
