Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) A PSALM OF LIFE WHAT THE HEART OF THE YOUNG MAN SAID TO THE PSALMIST TELL me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream ! — For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real ! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal ; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way ; But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day. Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave. In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle ! Be a hero in the strife ! Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant ! Let the dead Past bury its dead ! Act,— act in the living Present ! Heart within, and God o'erhead ! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time ; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate ; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. The above poem was first published in the Knickerbocker Magazine in October 1838. It also appeared in Longfellow's first published collection Voices in the Night. It can be found, for example, in: · Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth. The Complete Poetical Works of Longfellow. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1893.

Good Day Brothers and Sisters,
Its Tuesday, 6th May 2008

Hello My dear Brothers and Sisters,
Good Morning and a Great New Day full of laughter,
joy and peace to you all,

Akshay Tritiya is one of the four most auspicious days
during the year by Hindu tradition and thought

Below is all you wanted to know about it
and How to go about celebrating it ....

There are numerous legends associated with Akshaya Tritiya.

According to the Puranas, the day marks the beginning to Treta Yuga.
On this day, Veda Vyasa began the composition of the Mahabharata.

In the Mahabharata, the Pandavas received the
Akshaya Pathram (bowl) from Lord Krishna on this day.
The Akshaya Pathram provided unlimited food for the Pandavas
during their exile. Due to this reason, people believe
that anything that is acquired on this day will be replenished.

Therefore people conduct special puja for Goddess Lakshmi
and buy new gold and silver ornaments and
invest money in shares and real estate.

Akshaya Tritiya, true to our rich Hindu tradition, is an auspicious day
to invite Goddess Lakshmi into our homes and take her blessings
for everlasting wealth and prosperity.

Akshaya Tritiya will be celebrated on 7th/8th May 2008 this year

This day is considered very sacred and auspicious
and is one of the four most sacred days of the year.

Our ‘puranas’ say that this day marks the beginning of the Treta Yug.
The birthday of Parashurama, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu,
falls on this day.

It is believed that one gets ‘punya’ (merit) in life
by doing good deeds on this day.

It is desirable to:

1. Donate for ‘annadanam’ in temples on this auspicious day

2. Feed cows with green fodder

3. Resolve to take up the education expenses
of a deserving, needy child

4. Forgive and forget the past and renew relationships
with friends and relatives

5. Resolve to give up a bad habit

6. Resolve to start a good habit
- learn and practise Yoga.

The word Akshaya means that which never diminishes
and new beginnings on this auspicious day are everlasting.

Akshaya Tritiya is an ideal and very auspicious day
to purchase gold, silver, gems, ornaments, jewellery and valuables.

It is the best day to go for new investments like fixed deposits
in Banks, Post Office Savings Scheme, and Insurance Policies etc.

It is ideal day for starting new ventures.

It is the best day to call your parents in far off places
and take their blessings.
Thousands of marriages are performed on this day.

Start the sacred, auspicious day of Akshaya Trithiya
on 7th/8th May 2008 by visiting temples,
especially the Mahalakshmi Temple
and let Goddess Mahalakshmi always shower her blessings
on you throughout the year.

Doing 'daanam' (donations or gifts) and performing libations
to the departed manes are considered fruitful.

During the particular time, i.e., between 1.12-3.36 p.m.,
one should take oil bath and perform libations.

One can worship Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu
and the virtuous deeds done on this day will result in prosperity manifold.

It is good to gift clothes and fruits on this day.

For good education, one can offer buttermilk

and to avoid premature death,
one can offer grains like wheat, etc.

Parents who wish for a good daughter-in- law
or a man wishing for a wife his heart desires,
can see the girl in a temple or celebrate the engagement
ceremony in a temple, which will yield fruitful result.

It is believed that if a person purchases a small amount of gold
(at least 1 gm), wears it at an auspicious time
after keeping it in the pooja room,
will accumulate more round the year.

ALL THAT GLITTER FOR AKSHAYA TRITIYA

Wealth will increase in homes where rupees and coins are kept for pooja
and worshipped as Goddess Lakshmi.

Akshaya Thrithiya, the third day of the new moon of Vaishakh month
(April-May), is believed to be one of the four most auspicious days
of the Vedic Calendar. On this day the sun and the moon are
simultaneously at their peak of brightness.

It is believed that Gold and gold jewellery bought and worn
on this day signify the never diminishing good fortune.

The legends associated with Akshaya Thruthiyai are thus:

Kuchela, the poor friend Of Krishna went to see Krishna
with some aval (poha) tied in his upper cloth.
Kannan welcomed Kuchela happily and putting a handful of poha
in his mouth uttered the word “Akshayam”.

At once, the humble abode of Kuchela
became a palace & he became a very prosperous man.

Another legend is that Parasurama, the sixth avatara of Vishnu
was born on this day.

Many people offer tarpanams to forefathers on this day.
This is done to incur their blessings.
It is very good to worship, Shiva Parvathi, Shriman Narayanan,
Sri Lakhmi Devi on this day.

Lakshmi is supposed to have chosen this day
to worship Lord Kubera on this day,
to be blessed with Kubera Sampath.

Krutha Yuga is said on have started this day.
Just like a yuga lasts for millions of years, any action done on this day
is supposed to yield, benfits, multifold times.

Any new venture started on this day will last long and well.
So this day is supposed to be auspicious for registering a business deal,
buy a new property, open new accounts and last but not least
to buy new clothes, jewellery etc.

It does not end there,

it is the most ideal day to do charity, help the physically challenged,
do financial helps for higher studies for needy,
deserving people as well.

It is said that giving curd rice to others improves longevity of life.

Distribution of sweets, helps to get over the obstacles
in getting married.

Distribution of grains and cereals, prevents accidents
and untimely death.

By giving cattle feed, prosperity will increase.

So, let us do good deeds on this auspicious day
and pray for good things in life.

It is well known that Indians believe passionately in the theory of
muhurts or auspicious times to perform sacraments,
to make major purchases or to begin new ventures.

Inspite of modern technology and changing lifeviews,
this dedication to auspicious time is a prominent feature
of Indian life. Akshaya Tritiya, the third day of the bright half of Vaishakh,
is considered one of the four most sacred days of the year.

The word Akshaya means that which never diminishes
- hence beginnings made or valuables bought on this day
are considered certain to bring luck and success.

All over India people celebrate weddings,
plan new business ventures, long journeys
and other events on this day.

Like Diwali, Dussera and Gudi Padva,
Akshava Tritiva is reserved for buying gold, silver and other assets.
On this day jewellers keep their shops open well into twilight time
to entertain their buyers.

Akshaya Tritiya or Akha TeeJ is traditionally the birthday of Parshurama,
the sixth incarnation of Vishnu. The Puranas tell how he reclaimed land
from the sea along the west coast of India by his valour.

Even today Goa and the Konkan are called Parshurama Kshetra.
He then settled 96 selected families there,
called Shahanavkuli Brahmins, who are said to have created
the cultural heritage of this part of India.

In India gold is regarded as the ultimate symbol of
wealth and prosperity. Buying gold and jewellery is a popular activity
on Akshaya Tritiya, one of the most auspicious days of the year

A Note : There is a thinking that this trend of buying Gold
on Akshaya Tritiya is a recent phenomenon as a result
of a push by the Gold Council in popularising the festivals
like Akshaya Tritiya especially since the last couple of Years ...

Be that as it may, one can still consider making an investment
in Gold bought on this day for future needs ...

On a lighter one may eat a little less on this day
so that George Bush and Condoleeza Rice can solve
at least some of their Brain oops ... Grain problems ...

Just giving you both sides of the story ...

So YOU can make a choice ...

============ ========= =====

Until next time, make it a blessed day,
Make this day good

Working for God on earth does not pay much,
but His Retirement plan is out of this world.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium.
If you don't have enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Eggplant, Avocadoes and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research
shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this?
.... It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in
each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm cells to overcome male
sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries
Grapefruits, Oranges , and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement
of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like body cells. Today's research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells They even produce tears which wash
the epithelial layers of the eyes.

6 th Pay Commission has submitted its report. Nothing new in it. An account clerk could have done it . Nothing exceptional . The hike in salaries is with a view to give intentensive to govt.staff and to abstain from corruption. But corruption is part of service facilities and therefore every one wants to be govt.servant irrespective of the post and rank. This is also because of the reason of protection to them under Art.311 of the Constitution. The procedure for removal is also very difficult. Our judiciary is always sited to do justice with every one .
Secondly the corruption is so rampant that the ministers and bureaucrats take bribe in corors to issue or withdraw some notification. The behavior of staff is like goons. They will not work even on the basics of 1 st Pay Commission Report. So far as holidays are concerned the recommendation is not new every body feels life this but due to national integration bluff and appeasement holidays were granted.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) A PSALM OF LIFE WHAT THE HEART OF THE YOUNG MAN SAID TO THE PSALMIST TELL me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream ! — For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real ! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal ; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way ; But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day. Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave. In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle ! Be a hero in the strife ! Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant ! Let the dead Past bury its dead ! Act,— act in the living Present ! Heart within, and God o'erhead ! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time ; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate ; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. The above poem was first published in the Knickerbocker Magazine in October 1838. It also appeared in Longfellow's first published collection Voices in the Night. It can be found, for example, in: · Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth. The Complete Poetical Works of Longfellow. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1893.

My e mail friend has sent this special me23 MARCH 1931 - Martyrdom Day Of INDIAN LIONS


23 March 2008 . Do we remember whats so special about this date? Today is the 77th anniversary of martyrdom of Sardaar Bhagat Singh , Sukhdev & Raj Guru.
It was 23rd of March, 1931 when three heroes of India ( Bhagat Singh Ji , Rajguru Ji & Sukhdev Ji ) felt proud that they were sacrificing their life for their motherland !
Just wanted to remind that we people remember valentine, New Year, but often used to forget the contributions of our REBELS, who fought and gave their lives just for the sake of their next generation's freedom.
"Let us all salute the true LIONS of our Mother India for whom they climbed the gallows gladly"
