Someone in India purchased a software called ”Planetarium” and then took some information from various ancient scriptures , mainly from the Ramayan written by Maharishi Valmiki . Now Maharishi Valmiki was a great astronomer and in his writings he referenced all major events to sequential astronomical postions – basically indicating the locations of various planets at the time of the events vis-a-vis zodiac constellations .

By using this information and the software Planeterium he has come up with some very facinating  findings , which I think you will find very interesting .

• Lord Ram was born between Noon and 1 pm on 10th January 5114BC .

Apparently initial research has found 23 places which have memorials that commemorate Lord Ram or events in his life . These have been found on the route between Ayothia ( Ram’s birth place ) and Mithila ( where Sita lived ) – in fact this is the route that Lord Ram took accompanied by his brother Laxman when they went to assist Maharishi Vishwamitra . This trip ended at Mithila where Lord Ram stringed and broke the Shiv Dhanush ( bow ) thus meeting the condition to marry Sita . Some of the places named in this research are :

• Shringi Ashram
• Ramghat
• Tadka Van ( forest )
• Sidhashram
• Gautam Ashram ( Anshuya )
• Jankpur/Mithila ( now in Nepal )   etc etc

According to these findings Lord Ram was 19years old when he married and it was on 5th January 5089BC that he went into exile for 14years .

During the battle on the shores of Lanka , Lord Ram killed the demon king Ravan on 4th December 5076Bc and returned to Ayodhia ( by aeroplane that belonged to Ravana ) on 2nd January 5075BC .

Lord Ram was the 64th ruler in the Suryavanshi Dynasty .

This would mean that Indian civilzation is atleast 8000 years old if not older. Well what do you make of this ? Someone in India needs to take this seriously , excavate the sites , authenticate them  and preserve them so that they can be viewed as we can view the Pyramids in Egypt .

Do you really NOT want your children to enjoy all this ?

I quote from an article in one of the local newspapers in Kenya , one of the countries who will benefit ( or hopes to ) from a scheme of carbon trading :

” As the UN climate change conference progresses in Copenhagen, Denmark, Kenya is among African countries with their attention firmly focused on the global negotiations.

One of the mouth-watering prospects at the meeting is that Kenya stands to earn billions of shillings per year from developed nations by simply planting trees.

The developed nations, which are the biggest greenhouse gas emitters will, under the carbon trading clause in the negotiations, be required to pay billions of dollars a year in compensation to developing nations for global warming mitigation (for growing trees on their behalf). The exercise is known as carbon trading.

Through carbon trading, Kenya could claim a significant portion of the $126 billion carbon market through planting of trees and conserving of the environment.”

Look at the pictures below and tell me seriously , do you want to leave the fate of these galciers to under developed countries planting more trees in return for money ?  SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK AT THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY .

This is natures beauty in all its glory – these are glaciers which will melt away if we donot do something to reduce global warming .

WAKE UP AND TAKE NOTICE .    PLEASE .

Do not keep your mind clustered with worries – worries are the worst enemy of the humans .

Consciously train your mind not to worry and every time your mind has a thought of worry/negative thought  , throw it out .

The mind is so unique and powerful , yet it can only have one though at a time – try it , you will only be able to think one thought at a time.So when a negative ( worry ) thought buds in your mind , think of something else and the bad thought will disappear .

What is worry and what does it achieve – nothing but bad health .

Why worry about the past – it is gone . In the present do something about the task and if you can’t do anything about it , why worry – leave it and it will take its natural course .The future will come , without you worrying about it ; whether you like it or not .

If you can do something about a problem , do it but if there is nothing you can do about it , leave it ,worry is not going to solve it .

 The mind need silence – at the end of the day , give your mind silence for ten minutes , go into a corner and sit there silently without thinking anything – in the beginning it will be difficult , for the mind can travel faster than light and goes from one thought to another but once you train it , it will slowly begin to obey you .One way to train the mind to stop thinking is by mantras – keep repeating a mantra in you mind and another thought will not enter and the mind will soon calm down . In no time , you will be able to give silence to your mind at will . ( most people associate ” mantras ” with religion – this is not necessarily true . Sure there are some very powerful religious mantras but repeating ” i am happy “‘ becomes a mantra as well  : and it will do wanders to your energy levels and clarity to your thinking .

 Once you learn to do this for longer periods , you will not need mantras – you will be meditating and forgetting yourself and all you will experience is calmness and love . you will soon learn to listen to your conscious and hear what it says . When you are guided by this voice , real happiness will come and instead of being immersed in your own problems you will begin to see everything in a different light and your hands will extend to help , to give and in turn you will receive  : the way you were meant to live .

In being of help to others in mental or material ways , you will find your needs fulfilled , you will find your own happiness increase ten folds .

And to achieve all this

First calm your mind , learn to appreciate silence , spend time in meditation listening to your inner voice and your priorities will change . What seemed a big problem will be insignificant , not worth spending time on ; instead devote that time to helping others .

GIVE SILENCE TO YOUR MIND and it will give you hapiness !

A  lot of people who had thought that they were set in their careers for life and would be in a position to retire at the age of 50, have had their dreams shattered by the banking crisis. These people find themselves in unchartered waters, finding ways to make ends meet.  This is the time when you have to look inside yourself and find the strength to go on, one step at a time.  Find the inspiration from family and friends.  Easier said than done, but believe me every hurricane comes, changes the landscape, but in the end calm returns; that is the way of nature,  and who are we but creatures of nature. Read on….

* 1816 – he had to work to support his family after they were thrown out of their home.
* 1818 – his mother died.
* 1831 – a business he had worked hard to build failed.
* 1832 – he stood for local office election and lost.
* 1833 – declared bankruptcy.
* 1835 – his fiancee died and he was left heart broken.
* 1836 – had a nervous breakdown
* 1838 – lost again in an election
* 1840 – was defeated in an election again
* 1843 – defeated again
* 1846 – defeated again
* 1848 – yet another defeat in an election
* 1854 – lost election for senate
* 1856 – was defeated for vice president’s post – got less than 100 votes
* 1858 – defeated a third time for senate elections
* 1860 – was elected to be the president of the USA -  YEAH ! and went on to become one of the most popular presidents of all times.

For 44 years this man tasted nothing but defeat, YET he did not give up – had he given up, America would be a different country today, for it was he who changed the course of the country: yes this was ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

I am sure that there were many times when NELSON MANDELA  wished he could just give up, but he dug deep into his own strength and came out on top. Look at history and you find thousands of people who by all accounts were ‘finished’  but not only did they survive, they came up on top.

So to all the people who may have lost your livelyhood, please keep the hope going and you will come out on top. Things may get tougher before they get better, but keep this in mind that things WILL get better. No matter how bad things get, DO take care of your health as that is the most important asset you have.

For those who have survived these types of crisis and would like to post advice/guidance,  please do so, we would appreciate this.

THIS IS SUCH A TRAGEDY – DONOT FOR ONE SECOND THINK OF THIS KIND OF AN ACTION – IT LEAVES BEHIND A LOT OF PAIN FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS . Your life is a gift to be lived to the fullest . Life is a game , play it : so what if you fall down a few times , get up , dust yourself off and join the game .

What can be so bad that one has to resort to this kind of action – I say NOTHING . If ever any kind of crisis comes into your life , keep a cool head .Immediately seek support from family and friends – you do not become small by sharing or asking for help .Talking to someone will put the problem into its true prespective . Above all DONOT try and drown your worries in alcohol – remember,alcohol will depress you more .

There is no problem that cannot be solved or which someone else has not gone through and survived to write about it . NEVER GIVE UP , NEVER .

The sun sets to rise again and rise it will bringing another day , another opportunity for you to grasp .
