For those of you who watch what you eat... Here's the final word on
nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those
conflicting medical studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks
than the British or Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than
the British or Americans.
3. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart
attacks than the British or Americans.
4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer
heart attacks than the British or Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats
and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is
apparently what kills you.

Oh God
Oh God
it is said
that you live in me
In a way
I am a home for you
if it is true
then
I request you
to keep your home neat and clean
as I can't do this anymore
Oh God...
it is said
that you live in me
In a way
I am a home for you
if it is true
then
I request you
to keep your home neat and clean
as I can't do this anymore
Oh God...
Hindu Arabic Nemeric system
Before the rise of the Arab empire, the Hindu-Arabic numeral system was already moving West and was mentioned in Syria in 662 AD
by the Syrian-Orthodox scholar Severus Sebokht who wrote:
"I will omit all discussion of the science of the Indians, ... , of their subtle discoveries in astronomy, discoveries that are more
ingenious than those of the Greeks and the Babylonians, and of their valuable methods of calculation which surpass description.
I wish only to say that this computation is done by means of nine signs. If those who believe, because they speak Greek, that they
have arrived at the limits of science, would read the Indian texts, they would be convinced, even if a little late in the day, that there are
others who know something of value."
Impact on Mathematics
The significance of the development of the positional number system is probably best described by the French mathematician
Pierre Simon Laplace (1749 - 1827) who wrote:
"It is India that gave us the ingenuous method of expressing all numbers by the means of ten symbols, each symbol receiving a value of position, as well as an absolute value; a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit, but its very simplicity, the great ease which it has lent to all computations, puts our arithmetic in the first rank of useful
inventions, and we shall appreciate the grandeur of this achievement when we remember that it escaped the genius of Archimedes
and Apollonius, two of the greatest minds produced by antiquity."
Tobias Dantzig, the father of George Dantzig had this to say in Number:
"This long period of nearly five thousand years saw the rise and fall of many a civilization, each leaving behind it a heritage of
literature, art, philosophy, and religion. But what was the net achievement in the field of reckoning, the earliest art practiced by man?
An inflexible numeration so crude as to make progress well nigh impossible, and a calculating device so limited in scope that even
elementary calculations called for the services of an expert [...]
Man used these devices for thousands of years without contributing a single important idea to the system [...] Even when compared
with the slow growth of ideas during the dark ages, the history of reckoning presents a peculiar picture of desolate stagnation.
When viewed in this light, the achievements of the unknown Hindu, who some time in the first centuries of our era discovered the
principle of position, assumes the importance of a world event."

Sarasvati Nadi Darshan
Discovery and rebirth of Vedic River Sarasvati with the creation of a National Water Grid
Sarasvati River
A very interesting eight-minute movie is based on a series of Sarasvati Darshan Exhibition posters documenting scientific evidence of the Sarasvati River from a number of disciplines including geologists, hydrologists and ground water specialists. The posters also show artifacts and archaeological evidence from the area.

Tabla Child Prodigy
This is a proof that the present life is a continuation of the past life. Present life modified becomes your future life.
Child prodigy Aditya Phatak (age 2.5) from Pune, India plays tabla with his grandfather who sings Jo Bhaje Hari Ko Sada (bhajan by Pandit Bhimsen Joshi).

Kaupina Panchakam
Kaupeena Panchakam by Sri Adi Shankaracharya
This is a very short poem with five stanzas written by Shankaracharya which glorifies the life of a Sannyasi. A Sadhu renounces every thing before entering in to Sannyas, and wears only a kaupina aka kaupeena (loin cloth). That too is for the sake of the world.
