Breeze

I hope this will cool your mind instantly. So simple and flowing........

With happy....

We have a festive atmosphere back home. Every vacation we have like this. These were the rare auspicious occasions we are getting 3 or 4 times in a year. Now I can hear the melodious voice of Hari, the instructions of Sreekutty and the dances of Paru. First Hari he is only 2 years of age all the time wandering here and there with a big lemon or a balloon in hand calling it a ball. Paru dancing, jumping and moving like a shadow behind Hari. Sreekutty she is now little big studying 6th standard like to watch television whole the time. It is easy for her to watch 2-3 films in a stretch. Bad Sree, really bad. Hari nowadays interested in drawing pictures. It is nice to watch him drawing with his left fingers. Ha he is a left hander. Paru the silly girl jumping, running, and trembling hairs make the climate cool. Now I can feel the change in atmosphere. But after 2-3 days they will go. And then again we have to back to our past………….

Jerry's programs

Great news from Jerry. I have talked to him last week. He is now in an ashram at Kodakara, Thrissur. Treating his stomach pain with ayurvedic medicines from the monks of the ashram. I remember he have severe problems with stomach when he was at my home last September. He is worrying very much on that. As per him it’s a by birth problem. His father and sister have the same problem. But in India he said he is feeling better by taking the ‘Panchagavyam’. A typical ayurvedic medicine contains 5 important medicinal things from cow. Consists cow milk, ghee, butter, urinal and cow dung. Daily morning he has to take it. He says its rare difficult in taste but now he is okay with the taste. After treatment he is going for a 10 day intensive meditation program at a Buddhist monastery in Alapuzha. He is on thrill with the weeks ahead. I am little okay that he may sometimes receive the sanyasi order from the monastery. Don’t he?

Work work.... still going on

Today I am assigned a new project. I have to read and understand what the system is. It is not so easy to catch all the possibilities in a single stretch. So after looking on a 15 or a 20 minute I take a break. Wandering in the office or drinking some water. Now my memories back to Banglore where I have worked 16-20 hours in a stretch without food. I think the curiosity make the man work. How much he is curious on the work, that much result he can expect. After the success or completion of a particular task we can feel the confidence or the satisfaction in other ways. It’s amazing. Many enjoy such rare situations, eating costly food with friends or with drinks depend on what makes them more fun. I came across like situations. I remember the first time we got a mysql database connection in the web server. Me and Mathews we were totally ignorant on web server and our boss asked us to put the php files onto the server and make the database connection working. We spent about one and half days for that. At last we got the result. Now I am thinking on what a simple thing it was. But on that precious day we feel like we invented something new for the company. We can’t explain our expressions on that situation. We received motivational talks and congrats from our PM though he was rude towards us most of the times. This gives the strength to work, make new technologies, thinking of all possibilities etc.

"The Rivers Of Belief"

Take me back to the rivers of belief
Take me back to the rivers of belief
my friend
I look inside my heart
I look inside my soul
I promise you
I will return
And when the Lamb opened the seventh seal
silence covered the sky
Take me back to the rivers of belief
Take me back to the rivers of belief
my friend
I look inside my heart
I look inside my soul
I'm reaching out for you
Lets hope one day
We'll rest in peace
on my rivers of belief

On My Participation In The Atom Bomb Project - by A. Einstein

In response to the editor of Kaizo, Einstein wrote this short essay to describe his limited involvement in the development of the atomic bomb. Einstein stated that his participation consisted of "a single act" - signing the 1939 letter to President Roosevelt. "I did not see any other way out, although I always was a convinced pacifist." The essay appeared in a special edition of Kaizo published in 1952.

My participation in the production of the atom bomb consisted in a single act: I signed a letter to President Roosevelt. This letter stressed the necessity of large scale experimentation to ascertain the possibility of producing an atom bomb.

I was well aware of the dreadful danger for all mankind, if these experiments would succeed. But the probability that the Germans might work on that very problem with good chance of success prompted me to take that step. I did not see any other way out, although I always was a convinced pacifist. To kill in war time, it seems to me, is in no ways better than common murder.

As long however, as nations are ready to abolish war by common action and to solve their conflicts in a peaceful way on a legal basis. they feel compelled to prepare for war. They feel moreover compelled to prepare the most abominable means, in order not to be left behind in the general armaments race. Such procedure leads inevitable to war, which, in turn, under todays conditions, spells universal destruction.

Under such circumstances there is no hope in combating the production of specific weapons or means of destruction. Only radical abolition of war and of danger of war can help. Toward this goal one should strive; in fact nobody should allow himself to be forced into actions contrary to this goal. This is a harsh demand for anyone who is aware of his social inter-relatedness; but it can be followed.

Gandhi, the greatest political genius of our time has shown the way, and has demonstrated the sacrifices man is willing to bring if only he has found the right way. His work for the liberation of India is a living example that man's will, sustained by an indomitable conviction is stronger than apparently invincible material power.

Nitya Chaitanya Yati

Nitya Chaitanya Yati (Nithya Chaithanya Yati) (2 November 1923 - May 14 1999) was an Indian philosopher.

He was born in Kerala, India, as the first son to Pandalam Raghava Panicker, a poet. After completing matriculation (the equivalent of today's high school education), Yati toured exstensively over what is now India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, befriending and subjecting himself to different religious figures.

He returned to Kerala in 1947 and joined University College, Aluva to study Philosophy and Psychology. He later taught these subjects in different universities.

In 1951, he accepted Nataraja Guru as his spiritual preceptor and after Nataraja Guru died, Yati became the Head of Narayana Gurukula. As Narayana Gurukula is a world community, Yati had to liaison between all members of the Gurukula at an interpersonal level in the teacher-student context and to make the Gurukula work in unison.

Nitya Chaitanya Yati published over 120 books in Malayalam and 80 books in English, as well as a number of articles on philosophy, psychology, social ethics and aesthetics. He was the founder-chairperson of the East-West University of Brahmavidya. He also worked as the Commissioner for World Education and as a sponsor of the World Government of World Citizens. World citizenship is a unique concept that Yati tried to give life to, in his own words:

"The term 'world citizen' can be better understood with a negative definition than with a positive one. If a citizen of a state with political frontiers is expected to pay allegiance to the government of the state to which he or she belongs and is expected to take arms against aliens who might invade the territory of the state, a world citizen recognizes the entire world as one's state and in principle does not recognize any member of one's own species as an alien to the world community to which oneself belongs. Such a person recognizes the earth as one's sustaining mother, the innate inviolable laws of nature as one's protecting father, all sentient beings as one's homes. The world citizen's allegiance is to the foundation of truth, the universality of knowledge and the fundamental ground of all values."

In later days, he spent his time in an 'Ashram' (hermitage) in Ooty, in Tamil Nadu, India.
