Happy New Year	Permalink

Dear All, HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's come to this time of the year again when we wih each other HAPPY TAMIL NEW YEAR, HAPPY VISHU, HAPPY VAISAKHI, HAPPY THAI NEW YEAR AND ETC . . . . . . . . So many ways in which we all celebrate our NEW YEARs . . . but the one common thing is for us to progress, Progress from where and what we were to where and who we are now. Also, how much further we can and wish to progess in this journey of life for the next coming year! Let us be FREE and RELEASED from all BONDAGES, MINDSETS, CONDITIONINGS and COMFORT ZONES!! Let us be FREE and AVAILABLE to the Lord, to mend us and guide us following HIS WILL and if He so wishes, to have us as His Instruments also for His Most Divine Work on this Divine Planet. On this New Year, let us pray for all to be FREE, to have all the time available, to be able to contemplate on His Divine Glory, to further understand His role for us to play in His Divine Mission and in the process attain such unparalleled PEACE, JOY, HAPPINESS, CLARITY and AWARENESS, LOVE and BLISS, all of which are nowhere but only within, waiting for the opportunity to be given to come out and to be shared with all. Let us start by just doing our best in anything and everything that we do, cause spirituality is nothing but seeking perfection in anything and everything that we do. Let us give our 100%, not a narrowed 100% in the 1 thing that we want or even need to do, but 1% better in 100 things that the Lord wants us to do. Let us totally FREE ourselves, not of our Dharma and Responsibilities but of the Results and Consequences of all actions, surrendering even that to the Lord. Let us be totally FREE but AVAILABLE, cause it's not our abilities or inabilities that matter but our AVAILABILITY!! Let us FREELY get back to the needs to live in society and serve our fellow man, but let us not let that pre-occupy who we are and what we have come her for. As it's said, Hands in the Society, Heads in the Forest! Let us progress together, though all in many different ways. Let us cherish the differences and enjoy the Unity in Diversity! Let us now and together, wish ourselves . . . . HAPPY NEW YEAR! Love and in Service of the Lord . . . . . Vinesh p.s. TAMIL NEW YEAR, though falls today, will be celebrated on Saturday, 17th April 2003 in Aberdeen, in the late afternoon/evening. All invited & more details later! The One Thing You Can Give And Still Keep Is Your Word! +--------------------------------------------+ \| V I N E S H . . . . . . . vinesh@post1.com \| \| 12 Crescent Lane . . www.post1.com/~vinesh \| \| Dundee . . . . . . . . . mob: 07977-099765 \| \| DD4 6DN . . . . . . .office : 01382-345845 \| \| Scotland . . . fax: (UK only) 07050-609102 \| +--------------------------------------------+ http://www.HinduTRAC.org.uk __________________

This Weekend - Highlands	Permalink

Dear All, This weekend, with Dushyant and all from the Art of Living and some friends, we are planning a trip to Highlands, probably leaving very very early Saturday morning and probably driving along West Coast all the way up to Carbisdale Castle, stopping en route to absorb all the natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands . . . . including trying to spot Nessie at Loch Ness! Anyone interested or even just toying around the idea, please immediately call Vinesh - 07977-099765 or email vinesh@post1.com and we will be able to decide if we need to get further cars (good if you have one) or a minibus etc etc etc. If you want to know a wee bit of what kind of scenery . . . and Castle etc . . . look at this . . from last year! Of course, route will be a wee bit different this year and the whole experience should be totally different. http://www.post1.com/~vinesh/highlands So, again, if interested, please immediately contact!

Venus Transition - NOW! - 8th June - 6am-noon(ish)	Permalink

Dear All, As received from Iyer in Malaysia! PLEASE READ! Love, Vinesh ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Vinesh, These are my thoughts on this occurrence based on my limited knowledge...both astronomy & spiritual level...(open to debate!!) THE VENUS TRANSITION The venus transition is supposedly a phenomena that occurs once in say 120-200 yrs..the last time ws in early 1800s. Technically, what happens is that as venus revolves around the sun, it comes in alingment with earth i.e. the sun, venus & earth are in one straight trajectory once in 120-200 yrs....it is t'fore an eclipse...astronomically this is what happens..and this time this phenomena wl be clearly visible across East Asia & India between 1300 hrs - 1930 hrs MST. So, this is where the astronomer wl stop... IN UK, FROM ABOUT 6AM TILL SHORTLY AFTER MIDDAY. ANYONE IN DUNDEE, CAN GO TO MILLS OBSERVATORY FOR A FREE VIEWING! (((NOW)))!! http://www.dundeecity.gov.uk/mills/ THE EFFECT AT A SPIRITUAL LEVEL.... The Sun The sun is the source of all energy & life; energy, rays, vibrations...whatever you call it it emanates from the sun...that is why our sages, seers & rishis spent so much of their time & effort exploring techniques of worshipping the sun. The result of their research has been in bestowing us with The Gayatri mantra bu Vishwamitra, The Sandhya Vandanam by Vashishta, Surya Namaskar (thro' Hathaa Yoga) by Patanjali & a multitude of stotras & hymns (eg. Aditya Hridayam by Agastya) dedicated to the same including placing the Sun as the central point in the Navagraha worship. The Earth So much about the sun...well, its us next, the earthly bound...as seen above we're sustained & nourished by that resplendant sun. So if the sun emits/sends forth +ve vibes & rays, we feel the effect - plenty of rains, growth, prosperity all round....On the other hand, if it emits -ve vibes, this can be disastrous to all of mankind. (this is common k'ledge!) Catch the link between us & the mighty SUN? Venus Now, let us see this amazing planet called Venus - Shukra. It is the 2nd planet in the solar system after the Sun & comes B4 our dear Earth. Indeed, apart from the sun & the moon, it is the most visible of planets from planet earth. Venus represents prosperity, goodness, auspiciousness, grandeur, majesty, love...& everything +ve. In fact, the worship of Lakshmi is synonymous to worshipping the venus or tapping the energy of Venus. Lakshmi has these 8-fold features..the Ashtalakshmi....those are indeed from the planet Venus. So, during this transition, VENUS comes in between the SUN & the EARTH. What can you t'fore conclude from this? Venus b'comes like a prism (due to its make-up)...it will draw the rays of the sun & infuse its own energy & strength & send this to us on Earth. This will indeed have a tremendous amount of +ve effect on all of us. Check out for the amazing details from the 1600s on this effect: http://http.earthcache.net/www.exploratorium.edu/venusEC/index.html What can you do now? CHANT THE GAYATRI AS MANY TIMES AS YOU CAN DURING THIS PERIOD. CHANT ANY OTHER STOTRA YOU KNOW ON THE SUN, VENUS, ETC. This coupled with the occurring phenomena will focus the energy towards you & all those around you. Indeed, Swami has not said in vain...he promised us the golden age...astronomically (notice I'm not saying astrologically!) this started some time in early Nov last year; & now you have this transition....it is for you to accept or deny...but the facts are very clear! You may want to chant a mantra for Venus: HIMA KUNDALA MRINAALAABHAM DAITHYAANAAM PARAMAM GURUM SARVA SASHTRA PRAVAKTHAARAM BHAARGAVAM PRANAMAAMYAHAM Cheers! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- If you have time, Please also read . . . http://www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~idh/wttp/welcome/venus.html http://www.greatdreams.com/venus.htm http://www.HinduTRAC.org.uk __________________
