sense of spirituality

WE ARE NOT NECESSARILY BE CALLED AS HINDUS. BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GODS, & THINGS LIKE SOULS, VIRTUES(PUNYAS) OR SINS(PAPAS), HEAVEN, HELL AND MANY MORE THINGS - NOT BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN THEM, BUT BECAUSE WE ARE KNOWING ABOUT THEM THROUGH A SCRIPTURE CALLED VEDA. ALL THE SASTHRAS, PURANAS ETC., ARE ELABORATING THE ESSENCE OF VEDAS ONLY. HENCE WE SHOULD BE CALLED AS VEDICS. ALL THE NAMES LIKE VISHNU, SIVA BRAHMA OR ANY OTHER DEVAS OR FOUND ONLY IN THAT VEDA. OK.
AND THEN, PEOPLE BELONGING TO KING BHARATHA WERE OUR ANCESTORS. HERE "OUR" MEANS NOT ONLY PEOPLE IN INDIA, BUT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, LET THEM BELONG TO ANY RACE OR COLOUR. BECAUSE OF THIS ALL THESE HUMAN BEINGS SHOULD BE CALLED AS "BHARATHAS". KEEP THESE TWO THINGS IN MIND FIRST. 'HINDU' IS THE NAME USED AS A DISTORTED VERSION.
IN VEDAS, THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD. NOT MANY. BUT THAT ONE, IS ALL-PERVASIVE, SO HE IS CALLED AS VISHNU. HE IS GREATER THAN THE GREATEST. SO HE IS CALLED AS BRAMHA. HE ALWAYS DOES GOOD TO ALL. THUS HE IS CALLED AS SIVA. HE IS CONTROLLING EVERY THING SO, HE IS NAMED AFTER ISWARA. HE DWELLS IN AND OUT OF ALL OBJECT, KNOWING EVERY MOVEMENT, RIGHT FROM ATOM TO COSMOS. SO HE IS NAMED AFTER NARAYANA. ULTIMATELY IT IS ONE GOD ONLY, HAVING SEVERAL NAMES,REVEALING SEVERAL ACTIVITIES, TO SUPPORT THIS UNIVERSE. GREAT PEOPLE GAVE DIFFERENT FORMS TO DEPICT THOSE ACTIVITIES. ONE NEED NOT BE CONFUSED BY SEEING DIFFERENT NAMES AND FORMS.
AND THEN, WE, FOLLOWING VEDAS, TRY TO FEEL THE PRESENCE OF THAT UNIVERSAL POWER GOD, IN EVERY OBJECT EVEN IN THE NATURE AND ALL LIVING ENTITIES, MAY BE THEY ARE DOMESTIC OR CRUEL. WE RESPECT ALL THE SYSTEM OF THE UNIVERSE BECAUSE THEY ARE WITH SOME PURPOSE. NO ENTITY EXISTS WITHOUT REASON. HENCE, EVERY CRUEL CREATURE IS ATTACHED TO ONE FORM OF GOD VIZ., SERPANT WITH VISHNU, SNAKES WITH SIVA, LION WITH PARVATHI, EAGLE WITH VISHNU, BULL WITHSIVA... LIKE THAT. THIS SAYS THAT YOU NEED NOT IGNORE EVEN THOSE ANIMALS AND BIRDS. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH THEM IN YOUR HOUSES. WHAT YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THEY MUST BE KEPT IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PLACES AND SHOULD NOT BE DISTURBED
BASED ON THE PERSONIFIED FORMS OF THOSE POWERS OF GOD, PURANAS GAVE INNUMERABLE DETAILS OF EVENTS. WE NEED PROPER GUIDANCE TO FOLLOW THEM, FOR, THEY ARE DEALING WITH UNIVERSAL SECRETS. OTHERWISE THEY APPEAR ODD. THEY WERE DESCRIBED WITH THEIR SPOUSES, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE MARRIED LIKE HUMAN BEINGS, BUT THE WOMAN IS A FORM OF ENERGY. SO EACH OF THE FORMS OF GOD HAVING A FORM AND SOME ENERGY. ONE CANNOT SEPARATE THE ENERGY FROM THEOBJECT. FORM IS MASCULINE WORD AND ENERGY IS A FEMININE WORD. SO THEY WERE SHOWN AS WIFE AND HUSBAND. IN VEDIC CULTURE WIFE AND HUSBAND LIVE TOGETHER TILL THE END. THEY NEVER QUARREL AND TAKE DIVORCE EVERY NOW AND THEN. EVEN AT TIMES SOME QUARREL APPEARS, IT WILL BE WITH SOME PURPOSE TO HELP SOMEBODY IN THIS WORLD. HENCE, THERE ARE WIVES WITH DIFFERENT FORMS OF THAT "ONE GOD".
WE VEDICS NEVER CRITICISE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO SEE 'THAT ONE GOD' IN SOME NEW FORM THEY LIKE, BECAUSE WHEN GOD IS UNIVERSAL AND IN-DWELLER OF EVEN AN ATOM, THEN ALL OBJECTS BECOME 'HIS FORMS ONLY'. THE IDOL WHICH PEOPLE WORSHIP ALSO FALLS IN THAT SAME CATEGORY; WHY CANNOT IT BE ACCEPTED? TO DRAW THE POWER FROM THE IDOLS, AGAIN, THERE RECOMMENDED SOME PROCEDURE IN BOOKS LIKE PANCHARATRA AGAMAM. ONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THEM, TAKE RIGHT LEARNING FROM THEM, THAT MAKES TO UNDERSTAND TO A LITTLE EXTENT. WHEN YOU CRITICISE OTHERS, YOU ARE PROVING YOURSELF AS AN INTOLARENT OR JEALOUS.
THEN, HOW CAN ONE NOT HAVING ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THESE FACTS, CRITICISE ANYTHING? IT IS SO IMMETURE AND IGNORANCE LIKE AN INFANT BOY CRITICISING HIGH THEORIES OF SCIENCE. IF ONE REALLY WANTS TO SAY 'NO GOD OR NO VEDAS' ONE SHOULD FIRST READ THEM IN TOTAL, UNDERSTAND FULLY, GET THE ACCEPTANCE FROM LEARNED VEDIC SCHOLARS AND THEN ONLY CAN SAY NO TO THOSE VEDIC TRUTHS.
UNFORTUNATELY few FRIENDs ,LIKE A LITTLE FROG IN A SMALL POND. they dont KNOW THE BIG OCEANS OF KNOWLEDGE. ALL THAT WE CAN SHOW SYMPATHY TO YOUR FRIEND, TALKING BIG THINGS WITH SMALL MOUTH. YOU NEED NOT WORRY WHETHER YOU ARE GOING TO HELL OR PURGATORY (temporary naraka ), BUT LET themFIRST SAVE themself FROM THEM. JESUS NEVER SAID THAT HE IS GOD. HE WAS VERY HUMBLE IN SAYING THAT HE IS THE MESSENGER OF GOD, OR, SON OF GOD. BUT HE HIMSELF DOES NOT KNOW WHO THAT GOD IS. LORD IN VEDAS AND MANY PLACES DECLARED THAT NARAYANA IS 'GOD-SUPREME'.

Global Warming

Don't BE PART OF Global Warming .IF YOU NOT READ AND FELLOW BELLOW LINES NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND TERRORIST.

Global Warming is a dramatically urgent and serious problem. We don't need to wait for governments to find a solution for this problem: each individual can bring an important help adopting a more responsible lifestyle: starting from little, everyday things. It's the only reasonable way to save our planet, before it is too late.

1. Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl)CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year..
2. Move your thermostat down 2° in winter and up 2° in summer Almost half of the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and cooling. .

3. Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner.

4.Choose energy efficient appliances when making new purchases.

5. Do not leave appliances on standbyUse the "on/off" function on the machine itself. A TV set that's switched on for 3 hours a day (the average time Europeans spend watching TV) and in standby mode during the remaining 21 hours uses about 40% of its energy in standby mode.

6.Wrap your water heater in an insulation blanket.

7. Move your fridge and freezerPlacing them next to the cooker or boiler consumes much more energy than if they were standing on their own. For example, if you put them in a hot cellar room where the room temperature is 30-35ºC, energy use is almost double and causes an extra 160kg of CO2 emissions for fridges per year and 320kg for freezers.

8.1. Defrost old fridges and freezers regularlyEven better is to replace them with newer models, which all have automatic defrost cycles and are generally up to two times more energy-efficient than their predecessors.
2. Don't let heat escape from your house over a long periodWhen airing your house, open the windows for only a few minutes. If you leave a small opening all day long, the energy needed to keep it warm inside during six cold months (10ºC or less outside temperature) would result in almost 1 ton of CO2 emissions.
3. Replace your old single-glazed windows with double-glazingThis requires a bit of upfront investment, but will halve the energy lost through windows and pay off in the long term. If you go for the best the market has to offer (wooden-framed double-glazed units with low-emission glass and filled with argon gas), you can even save more than 70% of the energy lost.
4. Get a home energy auditMany utilities offer free home energy audits to find where your home is poorly insulated or energy inefficient. You can save up to 30% off your energy bill and 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Energy Star can help you find an energy specialist.
5. Cover your pots while cookingDoing so can save a lot of the energy needed for preparing the dish. Even better are pressure cookers and steamers: they can save around 70%!
6. Use the washing machine or dishwasher only when they are fullIf you need to use it when it is half full, then use the half-load or economy setting. There is also no need to set the temperatures high. Nowadays detergents are so efficient that they get your clothes and dishes clean at low temperatures.
7. Take a shower instead of a bathA shower takes up to four times less energy than a bath. To maximise the energy saving, avoid power showers and use low-flow showerheads, which are cheap and provide the same comfort.
8. Use less hot waterIt takes a lot of energy to heat water. You can use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead (350 pounds of carbon dioxide saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year) instead of hot.
9. Use a clothesline instead of a dryer whenever possibleYou can save 700 pounds of carbon dioxide when you air dry your clothes for 6 months out of the year.

10. Reuse your shopping bagWhen shopping, it saves energy and waste to use a reusable bag instead of accepting a disposable one in each shop. Waste not only discharges CO2 and methane into the atmosphere, it can also pollute the air, groundwater and soil.
11. Reduce wasteMost products we buy cause greenhouse gas emissions in one or another way, e.g. during production and distribution. By taking your lunch in a reusable lunch box instead of a disposable one, you save the energy needed to produce new lunch boxes.Plant a treeA single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.

12. Switch to green powerIn many areas, you can switch to energy generated by clean, renewable sources such as wind and solar. In some of these, you can even get refunds by government if you choose to switch to a clean energy producer, and you can also earn money by selling the energy you produce and don't use for yourself.
13. Buy locally grown and produced foodsThe average meal in the United States travels 1,200 miles from the farm to your plate. Buying locally will save fuel and keep money in your community.
14. Buy fresh foods instead of frozenFrozen food uses 10 times more energy to produce.
15. Seek out and support local farmers marketsThey reduce the amount of energy required to grow and transport the food to you by one fifth. Seek farmer’s markets in your area, and go for them.
16. Buy organic foods as much as possibleOrganic soils capture and store carbon dioxide at much higher levels than soils from conventional farms. If we grew all of our corn and soybeans organically, we’d remove 580 billion pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere!
17. Eat less meatMethane is the second most significant greenhouse gas and cows are one of the greatest methane emitters. Their grassy diet and multiple stomachs cause them to produce methane, which they exhale with every breath.
18. Reduce the number of miles you drive by walking, biking, carpooling or taking mass transit wherever possibleAvoiding just 10 miles of driving every week would eliminate about 500 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions a year! Look for transit options in your area.

19.Try car sharingNeed a car but don’t want to buy one? Community car sharing organizations provide access to a car and your membership fee covers gas, maintenance and insurance.

20.Fly lessAir travel produces large amounts of emissions so reducing how much you fly by even one or two trips a year can reduce your emissions significantly.

i AM BEGGING YOU PLEASE FELLOW THIS ,AT LEAST TRY FOR THIS.
