"Gayatri Manthra"..............Its meaning.

GAYATRI MANTRA............................

Scientific meaning of Gaytri Manthra.

Gayatri mantra has been bestowed the greatest importance in Vedic dharma. This mantra has also been termed as Savitri and Ved-Mata, the mother of the Vedas.

"Om Bhur Bhuvah Swah

Tatsa Vithur Varenyam

Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi

Dhiyo Yo Nah Pracho Dayath"

The literal meaning of the mantra is:


O God! You are Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Almighty. You are all light. You are all Knowledge and Bliss. You are Destroyer of fear, you are Creator of this Universe and you are the Greatest of all. We bow and meditate upon your light. You guide our intellect in the right direction. The mantra, however, has a great scientific importance too, which some how got lost in the literary tradition. The modern astrophysics and astronomy tell us that our Galaxy called..........................


Milky Way or Akash - Ganga contains approximately100, 000 million of stars.. Each star is like our sun having its own planet system. We know that the moon moves round the earth and the earth moves round the sun along with the moon. All planets round the sun. Each of the above bodies revolves round at its own axis as well. Our sun along with its family takes one round of the galactic center in 22.5 crore years. All galaxies including ours are moving away at a terrific velocity of 20,000 miles per second.

And now the alternative scientific meaning of the mantra step by step:


(A) OM BHUR BHUVAH SWAH:

Bhur the earth, Bhuvah the planets (solar family), Swah the Galaxy. We observe that when an ordinary fan with a speed of 900 RPM (rotations per minute) moves, it makes noise. Then, one can imagine, what great noise would be created when the galaxies move with a speed of 20,000 miles per second..

This is what this portion of the mantra explains that the sound produced due to the fast-moving earth, planets and galaxies is Om.

The sound was heard during meditation by Rishi Vishvamitra, who mentioned it to other colleagues. All of them, then unanimously decided to call this sound Om the name of God, because this sound is available in all the three periods of time, hence it is set
(permanent).


Therefore, it was the first ever revolutionary idea to identify formless God with a specific title (form) called upadhi. Until that time, everybody recognized God as formless and nobody was prepared to accept this new idea.


In the Gita also, it is said, "Omiti ekaksharam Brahma", meaning that the name of the Supreme is m, which contains only one syllable (8/12). This sound Om heard during samadhi was called by all the seers nada-Brahma a very great noise), but not a noise that is normally heard beyond a specific amplitude and limits of decibels suited to human hearing.


Hence the rishis called this sound Udgith musical sound of the above, I..e., heaven. They also noticed that the infinite mass of galaxies moving with a velocity of 20,000 miles/second was generating a kinetic energy = ½ MV2 and this were balancing the total energy consumption of the cosmos.

Hence they named it Pranavah, which means the body (vapu) or store house of energy (prana).

B. TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM:

Tat that (God), savitur the sun (star), varenyam worthy of bowing or respect. Once the form of a person along with the name is known to us, we may locate the specific person.Hence the two titles (upadhi) provide the solid ground to identify the formless God, Vishvamitra suggested.

He told us that we could know (realize) the unknowable formless God through the known factors, viz., sound Om and light of suns (stars).


A mathematician can solve an equation x2+y2=4; if x=2; then y can be known and so on. An engineer can measure the width of a river even by standing at the riverbank just by drawing a triangle. So was the scientific method suggested by Vishvamitra in the mantra in the next portion as under:-


C) BHARGO DEVASYA DHEEMAHI:


Bhargo the light, devasya of the deity, dheemahi we should meditate. The rishi instructs us to meditate upon the available form (light of suns) to discover the formless Creator (God). Also he ants us to do japa of the word Om (this is understood in the Mantra). This is how the sage wants us to proceed, but there is a great problem to realize it, as the human mind is so shaky and restless that without the grace of the Supreme (Brahma) it cannot be controlled.

Hence Vishvamitra suggests the way to pray Him as under:

D) DHIYO YO NAH PRACHODAYAT:

Dhiyo (intellect), yo (who), nah (we all), prachodayat (guide to right Direction). O God! Deploy our intellect on the right path. Full scientific interpretation of the Mantra: The earth (bhur), the planets (bhuvah), and the galaxies (swah) are moving at a very great velocity, the sound produced is Om , (the name of formless God.) That God (tat), who manifests himself in the form of light of suns (savitur) is worthy of bowing / respect (varenyam).

We all, therefore, should meditate (dheemahi) upon the light (bhargo) of that deity (devasya) and also do chanting of Om. May He (yo) guide in right direction (prachodayat) our(nah) intellect dhiyo. So we notice that the important points hinted in the mantra are:-


1) The total kinetic energy generated by the movement of galaxies acts as an umbrella and balances the total energy consumption of the cosmos. Hence it was named as the Pranavah (body of energy). This is equal to 1/2 mv2 (Mass of galaxies x velocity2).


2) Realizing the great importance of the syllable OM , the other later date religions adopted this word with a slight change in accent, viz., amen and Ameen.


When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others
Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live

Keep chanting "Gayatri Manthra" every day.

May Goddess Gayathri bestow her Grace and Blessings to All.

An article on "Holy Dharbha"

An article by TRS Iyengar

This article is on one of the practices widely used by Indian Brahmins all over using a Holy Grass named Dharbham or Dharbai.

In all functions, auspicious or inauspicious, a performing person needs to wear a ring made of this Dharbham. But many have lost the reason of why it is to be used in the first place.

What I learnt from my father is proved to be accurately correct by a Medicine Practitioner.

A Doctor named Sadhashiv Rao, once visited my home. When the topic turned to many subjects, I needed to tell him about the Holy Grass named
Dharbham. When I told him about the usage and the values, he could not just believe my words.

So, he took out a bunch of the Dharbham from me, went straight to the clinic to take an x-ray of his palm, by covering his hand with the Dharbham. To his utter surprise, he found that the grass absorbed about 60% of the radiation!

When the so powerful X-ray radiation can be absorbed by the Holy Grass,
why can it not absorb the ill radiations spread over the atmosphere?

While chanting and reciting some Vedic phrases and verses, one needs to wear a ring made of Dharbham on his right hand ring finger.

The count of leaves depends upon the ceremony that is held viz...........

for some ceremonies related to death only Single leafed Dharbham is used;

for Auspicious and daily routine a ring made of two leaves is used;

for inauspicious but not death related functions, (i.e. Amavasya Tharppanam, Pithru Pooja etc) a three leaf Dharbham ring is used.

And for the Temple Prayer and Pooja,a Four-leaf Dharbham ring is used.

Also, when a fire ritual known as Agni Santana is performed, these Dharbham are spread all the four sides of the Agni Kundam.

Also, during the Eclipse time,these Dharbham are used to cover all food items to protect them from the harmful ultra violet radiation.

Whenever any function is held,firstly they perform a site-cleansing act known as “Sudhhi Punyaahavachanam”.

While reciting the selective verses,they hold the Dharbham bunch in their hand and placing the tip point of it over the vessel containing water.

Thus the recited vibration values are absorbed by water in the vessel through the Dharbham.

They found that the Holy Grass known as Dharbham has the highest value in conducting the phonetic vibrations through its tip.

Later, they sprinkle the Holy water at every nook and corner of the place,
where the ceremony or function is held.

A Dharbham without the tip is considered of no value, as the
conductor-type value is lost in it.

My father, Late Shri Ramabathrachariar of Mukkur,fondly called by everyone as Sriraman, has given me the immense values of Dharbham and its usage.
With Sanskrit phonetic sound and vibration, using the Dharbham increases its value.

The usage varies according to the functions. It is really a marvel, that
in those days of Vedic Era, the Sages & Saints of Hindu land used to control...................................
The Magnetic path disturbances,just by simply using this Dharbham!

Apart from the above, Dharbham cannot be planted and grown everywhere.

It only grows naturally at selective places and available almost in every
state in India.


Some learned scholars name it after Saint Vishwaamitra - hence Dharbham is known and called as Vishwaamitra.

If it is kept for a longer time, say for more than six months, then it loses it value and the power of absorbing the radiation or magnetic path control values.

Dharbham cannot just be plucked straight or cut on any day;
There is a specific Slokha that is to be recited before cutting it;

That too it can be cut only on the day next to Full Moon - known as Krishna Paksha Pradamai.

A Dharbham without its tip portion is not to be used for making a Ring like item known as "Pavithram".

Beautiful Sayings............................

Beautiful Sayings.......................................

"The greatest gift you can give some one is your time,
Because when you are giving someone your time,
You are giving them a portion of your life
That you will never get back."

We love ourselves even after doing many mistakes.

Then how can we hate others for their one mistake.

Think before you hate someone or hate yourself.

The greatest advantage of speaking the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

If your eyes are positive you would like all the people in the world.
But if your tongue is positive all the people in the world like you.

Life is about the art of drawing without an eraser, so be careful while
taking decisions about the most valuable pages of your life.

I met money and said why everyone runs behind you, you are just a piece
of paper. Money smiled and said of-course I am just a piece of paper, but
I haven't seen a dustbin yet in my whole life.

Life is like a coin. Pleasure and Pain are the two sides. Only one side is visible at a time. But remember other side is also waiting for it's turn.

If you like someone, show it. It will be sweeter then telling. But if you don't like someone. Just tell it. It will be less painful then showing it.

Love doesn't start in morning and end in evening.
It starts when you don't need it and ends when you need it most.

What's greater than mom's love?

Which pillow is better then Mom’S lap?

Which company's better then friends?

There are some things in life with no substitutes.
Love them forever.

A CUTE STORY:............................................

A man daily sent a rose to his wife. One day he died, but his wife still received roses. She asked the floweriest. He said, your husband paid advance for your whole life.....................And Remember..............................

" You have to see the INVISIBLE to do the IMPOSSIBLE and it is POSSIBLE."

MORAL: Love someone forever.

A boy loved a girl so much. One day he proposed her. But she refused.
Still he was not sad. His friends asked him, didn't you feel bad? He said,.................

why should I feel? I lost the one who never loved me. But she lost the one who really loves her.

A Great Message...........Pl spread this

This is really a great message... Spread it.!


It was a Sports Stadium.

Eight Children were standing on the track to participate in a running event.............................................

* Ready! * Steady! * Bang !!!

With the sound of Toy pistol,

All eight girls started running.

Hardly had they covered ten to fifteen steps,

when one of the smaller girls slipped and fell down,

Due to bruises and pain she started crying.

When the other seven girls heard the little girl cry they stopped running, stood for a while and turned back.

Seeing the girl on the track they all ran to help.

One among them bent down, picked her up and kissed her gently

And enquired as to how she was..

They then lifted the fallen girl pacifying her.

Two of them held her firmly while all seven joined hands together and walked together towards the winning post..........

There was pin drop silence at the spectator's stand.

Officials were shocked.

Slow claps multiplied to thousands as the spectators stood up in appreciation.

Many eyes were filled with tears

And perhaps even God's!

YES.!! This happened in Hyderabad [INDIA], recently!

The sport was conducted by
National Institute of Mental Health.


All these special girls had come to participate in this event

They were spastic children.

Yes, they were Mentally Challenged.

What did they teach the WORLD.?

Teamwork.?

Humanity.?

Equality among all.??

Successful people help others who are slow in learning

So that they are not left far behind.

This is really a great message... Spread it.!

Coconut Water..........................Its benefits.

Coconut Water....................Its Benefits ...............

Here is some information about Coconut Water:

It's a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of electrolytic balance as we have in our blood. It's the fluid of life, so to speak.'

During the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the conflict regularly used coconut water - siphoned directly from the nut - to give emergency plasma transfusions to wounded soldiers..

Most coconut water is still consumed fresh in tropical coastal areas - once exposed to air, the liquid rapidly loses most of its organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, and begins to ferment.


Coconut Water is More Nutritious than whole milk - Less fat and NO cholesterol!

Coconut Water is More Healthy than Orange Juice - Much lower calories

Coconut Water is Better than processed baby milk- It contains lauric acid, which is present in human mother's milk

Coconut water is naturally sterile -- Water permeates though the filtering husk!

Coconut water is a universal donor-- Its identical to human blood plasma

Coconut Water is a Natural Isotonic Beverage - The same level we have in our blood.

Coconut water has saved lives in 3rd world countries thru Coconut IV.

Coconut water is the very stuff of Nature, biologically Pure, full of Natural Sugars, Salts, and Vitamins to ward off fatigue... and is the next wave of energy drinks BUT natural!', according to Mortin Satin, Chief of the United Nation's Food Agriculture Organization.

Coconut water contains more potassium (at about 294 mg) than most sports drinks (117 mg) and most energy drinks..

Coconut water has less sodium (25mg) where sports drinks have around 41mg and energy drinks have about 200mg!

Coconut water has 5mg of Natural Sugars where sports and energy drinks range from 10-25mg of Altered Sugars.

Coconut water is very high in Chloride at 118mg; compared to sports drinks at about 39mg.

Data is based on a 100ml drink.................................And make it a habit to drink coconut water daily

Life & Logic...................................................

Life & Logic..............................


Technology is not only about gadgetry but about arranging our lives in a way that the survival process is handled effortlessly and there is time and space to explore other aspects and dimensions – which would not be possible if we were fully occupied with survival.

If your perception is changing at different times of your life, clearly what you did yesterday or how you saw life yesterday was a mistake. What you are doing now seems to be the right thing to you, but this can change anytime. What you do today may seem like a mistake tomorrow, and what you do tomorrow will might seem to be the right thing. So, there is a mistake in the way we perceive life. When this gets corrected, people think you are a mystic because you are beginning to perceive life in a way that you cannot fit in logic; it is way beyond logic.

Logic is just a small part of your life – you can never fit life into it. You can fit logic into your life but never life into logic.........................................................And bear in mind

"Problems cannot be solved by thinking within the
framework in which they were created, here logic plays its role.

WANT TO CHANGE......................A GOOD ONE TO READ & REMEMBER

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by
how we react to what happens, Not by what life brings to us,
but by the attitude we bring to life.

A positive attitude causes a chain - reaction of positive
thoughts, events, and outcomes.

It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.

Let's focus on changing ourselves first.

"If you focus on results, you will never change.
If you focus on change, you will get results"

& remember.................

"Life is made up of Giving & Getting and Forgiving
& Forgetting."

If God brings you to it..............................

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it......................

In Happy moments, Praise God.

In Difficult moments, Seek God.

In Quiet moments, Worship God.

In Painful moments, Trust God.

And

In Every moment, Thank God..................And remember.....................

"The purpose of Life is a Life of purpose."

J.K

Don't be serious................Be Sincere

Don't be Serious.................Be Sincere

Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order. There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.

"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die. ……………….

One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up?

It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse once in a blue moon. We are people, not programmed devices.

"Don't be serious, be sincere." And Remember always........................

"You only live once-but if you work and make it to
LIVE right, once is enough."

Encouraging Others.......................

Encouraging Others.......................................

Have an opportunity to encourage others?

Step up and run with you opportunity.

Just a few simple words of encouragement
can change someone's life.

Your words...................................................

A moment of your time can change a life....It's simple.

Choose those words, give them to someone and you'll encourage people.

A good friend once passed along to me words of wisdom from his father... He told me:

"Good Words cost nothing. Give them away!"

Give away the words that give a person a reason to pursue their goal or their dream.

You're telling that person, with your words, that you believe in them... That their dream is not a pipe dream that will never happen.

You're telling them that their dream is worth going after, worth their time and very real.

When the opportunity to encourage someone comes you're way, say those
words they need to hear.

Use your chance to make a difference. When you do, you'll inspire them and
give them the confidence to move forward. To take the steps to go for their dreams.

Showing your support to someone whom admires you, looks up to you, or even
might consider you a role model helps them see that you care.

Just think, you might well be the one person to open the door to their dreams.

Just a moment of your time and a few words was all it took.

When you notice someone with talent,make a point to take the time and
compliment them.Let them know you care and recognize their ability.

I believe that when you encourage others, when you inspire others, the good you give away, will come back to you... Over and over again.
And as you know, I am a living proof.

Go out and encourage everyone you meet today and every day.

I am doing it

Some times we forget.....................................

Sometimes we forget to remember to be kind.........................

On a beautiful morning, an older gentleman, aged 75, was sitting with his son when he asked his son what was sitting in the window. He himself was not able to recognize what it was, due to his weak eyesight.

His son replied, 'That is the crow.'

Due to his age, the older man forgot and asked again.

His son again replied the same thing, 'That is the crow.'

This exchange continued for seven to eight times when, and at last, his son got annoyed and replied with anger, 'Why are you asking the same thing again and again?'

The old man replied with tears in his eyes. 'Son, don't get angry. When you were at the age of 4 years you asked me the same question 40 times and I never got angry.'

Never get Angry with your parents..........They are so precious and like God & Godess in human form and you are not suppose to see tears rolling down through their cheeks.

J.K
