Today was Mother's day and I saw many Christians stand at cemeteries where their mothers are buried. It is very nice of them to think of their mothers, but unfortunately due to their religion. They think that their mother will be resurrected from the grave one day in the future in the same body she died, that day is called the day of judgement. They do not realize that she has 'passed away'. Where has she passed away to? another body. This teaching is unique to the Bhagavad-Gita and it comes directly from God, Lord Krishna.
At death the body is useless, it will never come back to life again as the Christian and Muslims believe. Within a few months the dead body decays and goes back to dust, where the body originates. But the real person, the soul is not dead. The soul is eternal and it transmigrates to another body at death of the body. We are the eternal soul and not the temporary body.
Someone wanted to know how to use the Gita to address practical issues in life. By learning the Gita, we will learn to deal with all issues in life. By regular study of the Bhagavad-Gita and other Vedic scriptures one will slowly realize the Gita and will be able to address all issues in life without thinking (no brainer). But it takes a lot of time and effort to achieve this. Just like to become a surgeon, it takes over 12 years of study and training after high school, then the surgeon can handle any surgery. He will know exactly what to do in all cases. In a similar way, when one realizes the Gita, he will instantly know what to do in any situation.
To my knowledge there is no one book or one presentation that would help anyone to realize the whole Gita. My website is based on many presentations/articles to address many issues in life and I am adding more and more material every month. One has to learn from many Swamis/preachers and this is the only way to realize the Gita in truth and the quickest way possible. One will NEVER realize the whole truth by only learning from one Swami/Preacher/Group. For example, there are some who have read the Gita many times and perform Deity worship, and chant Vedic mantras but they don't even know what a Vaishnava is. Reading and knowledge realization are 2 different things.
"If you become conscious of Me, you will pass over all the obstacles of conditioned life by My grace. If, however, you do not work in such consciousness but act through false ego, not hearing Me, you will be lost." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 18.58)
If you learn the Gita at every opportunity, you will pass over all obstacles in life.

What is the Cause of Degradation?
Lack of spiritual knowledge is the root that leads to degradation of society. From this root there are many branches which include lack of preaching and impurity.
While in Vrindavan, I saw acres of land owned by BIG Vaishnava groups, awaiting cementation. Cows need raw land with grass and trees for their food, resting place, and survival. This knowledge is neglected or lacking. Everywhere I have seen cows eat plastic bags and garbage, because there is no grass left There is no raw land for the grass to grow. The cows are forced to eat plastic and garbage and there is hardly anyone preaching this important knowledge to the public.
Please STOP destroying raw land, save land for grass, trees, cows, birds, monkeys, and people. Plant trees and grass in your gardens and give to cows to eat. Preach this to your local Mandir and everyone you know.
Succhi and Mucchi
Many people are fooled, they think that if the body and clothes are clean, the person is pure (Succhi), but what about the mind? If the mind is mucchi, then what is the value in the body being Succhi?
Mucchi means the person has ego, desires, materialistic, treats people badly, miserly and so on.. The Bhagavad-Gita very clearly gives a list of the qualities that makes a person real Succhi. Unfortunately people do not read nor follow the scriptures. A person should be judged based on their actions and qualities developed and not their label nor their physical appearance (clean clothes etc..). This is very clearly taught in the Bhagavad-Gita.
Just as I was typing this message the lights went out. I had to re-start after the lights came back. In a similar way, our light (the soul) can leave the body at any moment without notice, then it will re-start (another body) anywhere on the millions of planets in any one of the millions of universes, in any one of the 8.4 million species.
We actually all come from Vrindavan, from the spiritual manifestation and eventually all souls will go back to Vrindavan. The Bhagavad-Gita mentions that all souls are part and parcel of Krishna, a part of Him. Since He is in Vrindavan, all His parts must also be in Vrindavan.
On my visit to Vrindavan, I fed the cows, devotees (everyone in Vrindavan should be considered a devotee), monkeys, and 1 pig. The whole purpose of pilgrimage is to change our consciousness for the better. Unfortunately most Hindus go on Pilgrimage and then head back home and they continue their sinful and ignorant life. They don't change their mentality, they don't give up their bad habits, they don't give up sinful activities, they don't give up their BIG bank balances, properties, and so on. People foolishly think visiting holy places is complete Bhakti. This is false, one has to change their consciousness for the better, this is real Bhakti. One does not need
to visit any holy place, because Krishna is everywhere and thus every place is holy once one realizes Krishna is everywhere. Going to holy places is certainly good and beneficial, but only for those who change their consciousness for the better. Not for those who only visit for the sake of visiting and as as outing to satisfy their flickering materialistic mentality.
The 3 most important changes that we need to make are as follows, This is the root of Bhakti, devotional service unto God. These are mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavatam as the legs of religion. Anyone who does not follow these is irreligious.
1. Truthfulness
One must always speak the truth, stand up for the truth, and side with the truth.
2. Mercy
All living beings are brothers and sisters, and thus, one must be kind to all his brothers and sisters. This teaching is unique to Sanatan-Dharma, and it comes from the most merciful Person, Lord Krishna (God). Kindness to animals is practiced by not killing them (vegetarianism and no leather). Kindness between human beings is practiced by being friendly and considerate to everyone. Consuming alcohol and drugs, gambling, and relationships outside of marriage cause suffering to families and especially to the women and children. Thus one should refrain from these sinful activities.
3. Charity
Donations should be made on a regular basis to accountable and worthy Temples, those engaged in the service of God, those engaged in preaching the Glories and Instructions of God, and the poor.
– Spread the eternal truth, Sanatan-Dharma, to all and save others.
The old way was the golden way, the modern way is the degraded way.
Until about 50 years ago, everyone used to live together in one village. Everyone from the father's side in almost one village or very close by and everyone from the mother's side also very close by, at most 1 hour away. Nowdays the children live in different countries/states, the brothers/sisters in different countires/states, even the parents in some cases live apart. Even in the same home, people communicate by text and iphone instead of by face to face, which has now been replaced with facebook. This is human devolution, the personal human touch is gone. The modern human beings are no better than the animals who also live apart once the children are grown up in most species. Money is the only focus of life for modern man. No personal rouch. When contacting the IRS, human resources of corporations, utility companies and most organizations. It's all automated answering and keypad entires. The human touch is gone. This is devolution of human consciousness.
The food eaten by modern humans, sums up the fact that modern man is sinking in ignorance. Most peole live on food that is frozen and heated in a microwave, fresh food is rare. By eating frozen and unfresh food, the person is in ignorance and slowly sinks further into ignorance.
"Food prepared more than three hours before being eaten, food that is tasteless, decomposed and putrid, and food consisting of remnants and untouchable things is dear to those in the mode of darkness." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 17.10)
Even the poor in India eat food that is cooked within 3 hours of being cooked, because they do not have a fridge, which is a blessing. In the West, most people store food in a fridge and eat for months after. This is human devolution.
The logo for Subway is 'Eat Fresh'. Please follow this.
Follow what the scriptures teach and not what ignorant people do. Despite all the problems in India, Hinduism is still the purest of all religions, by far. I know this because I have studied the history and scriptures of all other religions. The diffenence is that when one crime is commited in India, the atheist and anti-Hindu media explode it to make Hinduism look bad. There are thousand times more rapes commited in the coutnries of other religions, but nobody reports them.
"Humility; pridelessness; nonviolence; tolerance; simplicity; approaching a bona fide spiritual master; cleanliness; steadiness; self-control; renunciation of the objects of sense gratification; absence of false ego; the perception of the evil of birth, death, old age and disease; detachment; freedom from entanglement with children, wife, home and the rest; even-mindedness amid pleasant and unpleasant events; constant and unalloyed devotion to Me; aspiring to live in a solitary place; detachment from the general mass of people; accepting the importance of self-realization; and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth – all these I declare to be knowledge, and besides this whatever there may be is ignorance." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 13.8-12)
Also you should know that most of the rapes in India are NOT commited by Hindus, but by non-Hindus. So don't blame Hinduism.
The Vedic scriptures very cleary state that women should never be harmed, not even slapped. The non-Vedic scriptures clearly advocate rape. This is the difference between Hinduism and other religions. The rapist and trouble makers in India are not following Hinduism but other cultures. So don't blame Hinduism, but other cultures which are influencing the ignorant Hindus. We say 'Radha and Krishna' and not 'Krishna and Radha'. The women's name comes first, even before God. This is the treatment of women in Hinduism.
Why put all the blame on the God of Hinduism for all the trouble in the world, what about the God of other religions?
The fact is that God is One, and we have free will. It's due to this free will that we can use it properly or misuse it. Lord Krishna has created an infallible justice system to ensure everyone who miuses free will be punished. This is the Law of Karma. In other religions they have no such belief, they believe it's all by chance. They cannot explain why people suffer or enjoy, they cannot answer why different species exist and so on. Only the Vedic scriptures answer all questions and in detail. This is because the Vedic kowledge comes from God and not man.
Material existence means free will and thus Lord Krishna does not interfere with our free will. But He will punish those who misuse it. Not a blade of grass can move without the sanction of Lord Krishna, but this does not mean that nothing bad will happen, because we have free will. Due to this people will do bad things, but they do not realize that they cannot get away with it. They will be punished.
There are 8.4 million species of living beings and based on how the human being behaves, the soul will transmigrate from one species to another based on the deserves and desires. So nobody gets can get away with anything. Lord Krishna Himself is the witness to everything, because He is omnipresent, present in the heart of all living beings and also in every atom.
With regards to fake Gurus, yes this is true, but in reality there is a very good chance of knowing God from Vedic Gururs, there is ZERO chance of knowing God from non-Vedic Gurus. Also the Gurus of other religions are far worse than the Vedic Gurus. I know this, because I have studied others. The whole world Media is trying to promote non-Vedic religions and trying to destroy Hinduism, and thus so much false and misleading propaganda on Hinduism. Look before you leap, learn the facts and then decide. Don't listen to the demonic Media, don't accept everything you hear as the truth. Find out yourself.
Read, study, and follow the Bhagavad-Gita, there is no other scripture like it in the world. I know this because I have studied the scriptures of all other main religions. Hinduism is the only religion where there is a real, seen and proven God. It's impossible to know God as a real Person from other religions.
"Ayam bandhurayam neti gananā laghuchetasām,
Udāracharitānām tu vasudhaiva kutumbakam"
"One is my brother and the other is not – is the thinking of a narrow-minded person. For those who are broad-minded, liberals, or noble people, the entire world is a one big family." (Maha Upanishad: Chapter 6, Verse 72)
In your present human form of life you are blessed with the rarest of all opportunities, the unlimitedly great good fortune of being able to awaken your original enlightened consciousness, your Krishna consciousness and thus regain your original, eternal identity in the pastimes of the Supreme Lord in His unfathomably sweet transcendental abode. Fully take advantage of this opportunity by totally and completely surrendering yourself under the representative of the Lord, the bona fide spiritual master. By so doing you will attain the supreme opulence, pure love of God. (Sankarshan Das Adhikari)
Humility is a very important quality for a preacher and for all
Humility is practised by exhibition and not just by saying it. I recently saw this humility exhibition in Devkinandan Maharaj. Meena gave him a book which has teachings of Lord Chaitanya and he used what he read in the book in his very first katha afterwards. This was as follows:
"We should consider ourselves lower than a blade of grass and give all respects to others and expect none in return."
This also proves that book distribution does work. Some people do read, practice, and distribute the knowledge to others.
A preacher is open minded and is willing to listen and learn from others too. It's not a one way street, a two way street. Knowledge should be given and also taken from others. There is nobody in the material creation (except for Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma) who has all knowledge. We are all in ignorance, some in more ignorance and some less. I have carefully studied and noticed that those outside the Vedic path are in complete ignorance.
I can very clearly see that people are suffering and enjoying due their past actions (Karma). Those outside the Vedic path, cannot see this, becuase they are in gross ignorance.
God is eternal and thus by now He must have appeared, declared, and proved Himself. Those outside the Vedic path believe in an invisible, formless, unknown, unseen, and unproven character in a book as God. They are in complete gross ignorance.
Q: Why does God allow animals to be killed and eaten by other animals?
We have to think outside our tiny head and life to realize the truth.
Humans have free will and thus if human beings eat flesh then they will be put in bodies so they can enjoy flesh daily and naturally, in animal bodies. That's why animal bodies exist, so that some souls can enjoy animalistic life due to their desires and deserves.
The souls in animal bodies are ex-humans, they were once in human bodies. Human beings who eat flesh will be put in animal bodies after this life or in the future lives.
God is most merciful and fair to all living beings. Kill and be killed, eat and be eaten, an eye for an eye, this is the infallible Law of Karma.
Yes it is sad to see animals being killed and eaten, but we cannot understand this unless we see the whole picture. If we knew the past of all the souls, we could clearly see and understand everything. It's for our own good that we don't know the past, otherwise our present life will be difficult to live. For example if one was murdered in their last life and could remember it, this life would be hellish. So it's for our own good we don't know the past of ourselves and others.
We have to accept everything that happens to us and others as what we deserve and desired.
There are many beggars on the street, we feel sad for them, but we know what they behaved badly and thus they became beggars. They deserve to be beggars, it's due to their own doing that they are beggars. In a similar way the souls in animal bodies are suffering due to their own doing. The souls in human bodies are also suffering.
There are 8.4 million species or bodies that the soul can occupy, exactly based on its desires and deserves.
The entire world civilization is increasing in chaos, which is gradually dragging the human beings to a position lower than the animals. The modern day political, educational, cultural and business leaders do not even have the slightest clue of how to solve the world's problems. To the contrary they are instead leading the world into rapidly accelerating degradation.
Only by following Sanatan-Dharma, can the world be saved from degradation. Unfortunately most Vedic followers are only by name, because they do not follow the Vedic principles. One must follow the Vedic principles and spread them to others. All the Vedic principles are clearly explained on this unique web site.
Change Your Consciousness
The whole purpose of devotional service of reading, chanting, fasting, pilgrimage and so on is to change your consciousness for the better. If after doing all the devotional activites, one does not become a better human being, they have learnt nothing.
– Lower your ego
– Lower your desires
– Become more charitable
– Give up attachment to material objects
– Be kind to everyone
– Give up greed
– Share your possession with others
– Meditate on Krishna, serve Krishna, listen to Him (Bhagavad-Gita)
– Realiza that material life is temporary, so why get attached to worldly possessions, realize that there is eternal life after this body
– Think of the life after this one
– Prepare for the life after this one
– What have you done for others?
– What have you done for your country?
– What have you done for humanity?
Please focus on all the above.
The below are the twenty-six qualities of a Vaisnava, we MUST try to make improvements in all of them as much as possible:

Does God exist? Please watch.
Leave behind your anxiety, fear, hate, delusion, temporality, and illusion. Come on a fantastic, most exhilarating journey to your inner self situated far far beyond the constrictive, debilitating confines of time and space. Your inner self is who you really are. You are not the external covering, your temporary material body. You are an eternal, youthful, spiritual being qualitatively one with God. So come out of foolish misidentification with your outer shell and emerge as liberated soul overflowing with eternity, knowledge, and bliss.
You are the eternal part of Lord Krishna, the only proven God.
What is ignorance?
1. There are many parents who will spend more than $200,000 on making their children into lawyers, doctors, and engineers. They will also send them thousands miles away from home to other states and other countires.
How much will they spend on their children's spiritual education? ZERO.
Even if there are spiritual education classes within walking distance from their homes, still they will not send.
2. Children will study more than 500 books in their education years. Will the Bhagavad-Gita be one of them? No.
3. Parents will buy their children iphones, xphones, yphones, mphones. So their children will spend all day looking at their devices, talking non-sense or playing non-sense games. Their whole consciousness is fixed on the devices. Waiting for that next call, waiting for that next text message, surfing the web to read who is doing what and so on.
Even in Temples and programs, children are completely hooked to the devices. They won't put it down.
In the Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krishna clearly states think of Me [Krishna], but the Gita of the children is 'always think of the iphone/yphone/xphone'.
Lord Krishna states fix your mind on my transcendental form, but the Gita of the children is fixed your mind on the transcendental screen of the iphone/yphone/xphone.
4. Even most parents have their consciousness fixed on the phone screens all day. Some people say 'I only have the iphone/xphone for emergency'. What emergency?
The real emergency is that life is short and we should not waste it on talking non-sense all day, texting non-sense all day, playing games all day, and fixing our mind on the silly iphone/xphone screens. Many of us have been wondering from one body to another for millions of life times, and to achieve a human birth is rare. To get a human birth in a Vedic family is extremely rare. Don't waste it on silly devices. Fix your mind on Lord Krishna, and go back to Godhead at the end of this short life.
Even 5000 years ago, the yogis had more advanced technology than today. They had the ability to not just talk to someone thousands of miles away, but they could see and hear in real time what was going on thousands of miles away. Also many yogis could instantly transfer themselves thousands of miles away back and forth in an instant. But those who have some intelligence will realize that these abilities are completely useless, because they only lead to attachment to material life.
The real aim is to go back to the spiritual manisfestation and live eternally in complete bliss. This is something that can NEVER be achieved in the material creation.
"In this material world all are lost souls wandering aimlessly birth after birth through the 8,400,000 different species of life. Sometimes they are demigods. Sometimes they are ordinary humans. Sometimes they are plants. Sometimes they are animals. In all cases they are out of touch with the actual meaning of their existence. Thus they must continue suffering in so many ways. Therefore the greatest necessity is that they should get the road map to eternal freedom, i.e. they should be taught the art of how to fully surrender themselves to Lord Sri Krishna. This and only this will liberate them from their suffering and enable to regain their original all-blissful consciousness."

We must behave properly as mentioned in the Bhagavad-Gita and shown by great devotees like Hari Das and others. We should set good examples so others will follow our path of Bhakti.
It is very important to only accept teachings which are based on scriptural backing, otherwise it's pure speculation.
Ignorance is the cause of irrligious ideologies.
"Humility; pridelessness; nonviolence; tolerance; simplicity; approaching a bona fide spiritual master; cleanliness; steadiness; self-control; renunciation of the objects of sense gratification; absence of false ego; the perception of the evil of birth, death, old age and disease; detachment; freedom from entanglement with children, wife, home and the rest; even-mindedness amid pleasant and unpleasant events; constant and unalloyed devotion to Me; aspiring to live in a solitary place; detachment from the general mass of people; accepting the importance of self-realization; and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth – all these I declare to be knowledge, and besides this whatever there may be is ignorance." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 13.8-12)
What is the secret to knowledge realization?
By listening to only one Guru, one can never learn everything or realize everything. One must listen to many Gurus to get the most knowledge realization. Also one must pay the bills to keep the services on, in a similar way, give some guru daxmin and the knowledge will be released to you.
The Bhagavad-Gita or any Vedic scripture compiled Ved Vyasa, does not mention any particular Guru or Group to follow. Thus one must respect all and disrespect none. There are many who are narrow minded, don't be one of them.
Leave your door open (welcome guests), this is an invitation for the best guest, Lord Krishna
Leave your mind open (not narrow minded), this is an invitation for more knowledge
Leave your heart open (be kind to all), this is an invitation for the divine qualities to manifest (humbleness, mercy, steadiness, equal vision)
Leave your wallet open (be charitable), this is invitation for wealth and practice of renunciation

What is Cement Mentality?
Everywhere in India, people are turning raw land with grass and trees into cement with buildings. Even the Temples, who are supposed to set good examples, are first in line to turn raw land into cement.
The raw land is needed for grass and trees, which is needed by the cows for eating and resting. The trees provide much needed shade, and absorb the bad gas, carbon dioxide. The trees and grass provide cool air, reduce the dust, reduce the pollution, provide a place for people to rest and relieve the stress of life, and provide much needed pure oxygen. Just the site of green grass and trees reduces the stress in humans. The birds, cows, monkeys, pigs, goats, and the humans, all very much need open land, grass, and trees.
The fools have lost it, no knowledge, no consideration for the enviornment, no consideration for the cows and other animals. No consideration for the future. Everything is based on money and temporary benefits.
In our house in India, we have around 15 trees, and green grass which is cut every 2 weeks and feed to the cows. Please do the same and ask others also.
There are only 2 boats in the material creation, the boat of transcendental knowledge and the Titanic. Take your pick.
The point is that we need to give up material attachments, bad association, and erase our sins, only then we can go back to the spiritual creation, Vaikuntha. If we have any material desires or attachments, we cannot board the flight to Vaikuntha,
"From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. But one who attains to My abode, O son of Kunti, never takes birth again." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 8.16)
Why bother with Bhakti (devotional service)/Religion?
Someone told me why bother with Bhakti, we suffer anyway. The atheists suffer and so do the devotees, so why bother with religion/Bhakti?
Yes the devotees also suffer from material life in the same way that the atheists suffer. But the difference is that for the devotees this will be the last birth in the material creation. At the end of this short life, the devotees go back to the Kingdom of God, called Vaikuntha and live eternally in the same body that is completely beautiful, full of bliss, full of knowledge, no old age, no disease, no disease, and no trace of any misery. The atheists will come back, life after life to suffer in the metrial creation. Also in this life, the daily actions we take are determined by the consciousness we have developed. By engaging in Bhakti, we purify our consciousness and thus we develop better jugdment skills which will result in making the right decisions which will make our life less miserable. For the non-devotees they only become more materially contaminated and they go deeper into ignorance and make the wrong decisions in the life, which will result in more suffering in this life and defijnitely after this life for thousands of lifetimes. This is the difference it makes between doing Bhakti and not.
By studying the Bhagavad-Gita, we sharpen our intelligence and develop good judgement skills in all fields of life, including business, work, social, and engineering.
"Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 18.66)
Here Krishna states that the karma we have accumulated in many life times will be erased bit by bit if we engage in Bhakti unto Him. There is no doubt that devotees and non-devotees suffer from cancer and other miseries of material life, but Krishna states that by doing Bhakti, He will erase our sins, and so we will suffer less and at the end of this, He will completly erase all our remaining sins, and take us back to His abode. Thus we should listen to Krishna and not some atheist or the foolish.
I have read many parts of the Bible, Koran, and had many discussions with their followers. They could not answer the most basic question that a relisionist should ask "Can you describe God?". By following the non-Vedic religions, one will NEVER know God. He will just be a name in a book, invisible, unseen, unknown, and unreal.
Lord Krishna is the only seen and proven God.
How to reduce our Pride?
We can reduce our pride by first accepting that we have pride and then changing our consciousness to become humble, tolerant, forgiving, compassionate, free from the mentality of ownership of anything, and completely surrendering unto Lord Krishna and enaging in His service via deity service, chanting, kirtans, preaching, etc…
How to reduce Material Lust?
"One who is free from illusion, false prestige, and false association, who understands the eternal, who is done with material lust and is freed from the duality of happiness and distress, and who knows how to surrender unto the Supreme Person, attains to that eternal kingdom." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-G-ta 15.5)
Material lust means, we want this and that, go here and there, do this and that, and so on.. Some think that we can buy a nice luxury car and as long as we let Krishna sit in it, it's fine. Yes it's fine, but leave it at the Temple, so Krishna can sit in it everyday at His will, and not just once or once a year. A big house is fine, but let Krishna have the biggest room and not the smallest room. If you want to offer an iphone to Krishna, please leave it at the altar so He can make calls anytime and not when you have time.
Someone once stated Krishna loves somasas and so I cook them often for Him. This is good if it's trully for Him and not you, please bring them to the Temple after offering them to Him (at least sometimes), and let all the devotees enjoy the parsadam.
"If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.26)
If we truly want to please Kirshna, then all He wants is our love and not any material objects. Merrabai, Prahlad, Druva, Harishchandra and many other pure devotees, never had desires for material objects nor did they have any luxury material objects. They saw Krishna face to face and achieved His love, the ultimate goal of Bhakti. We should learn from these pure devotees.
The above was spoken 5000 years ago, long before any other scripture on the planet.

The seasons will come and go
Money will come and go
Jobs will come and go
Lawyers will come and go
Scientists will come and go
Only spiritual knowledge will go with you, and nothing else. Even good deeds like building hospitals and feeding the poor (with no spiritual knowledge) is of temporary benefit, because you will come back to enjoy the fruits of your good deeds, but you can't be good in every life, and so eventually you will become degraded and become sinful and then take birth among degraded humans and eventually among the lower species. This is the fact of life.
"Nature is said to be the cause of all material causes and effects, whereas the living entity is the cause of the various sufferings and enjoyments in this world. The living entity in material nature thus follows the ways of life, enjoying the three modes of nature. This is due to his association with that material nature. Thus he meets with good and evil among various species." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 13.21-22)
Listen to your iphone creator "Life is an intelligent design, nothing happens by chance" (Steve Jobs)
"Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, that state he will attain without fail. (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 8.6)
Everything in your current life is based on the designs you created in your previous lives. You are designing you next life with the actions you are taking now. Get spiritual knowledge and engage in Bhakti unto Lord Krishna and this will be your last material life.
"This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 7.14)
A relative of mine passed away yesterday. This makes me realize that we should not waste time and engage in Bhakti unto Lord Krishna, so we don't come back to this miserable material creation. As Kali Yuga passes, things will only get worse, not better. So stay on the Bhakti path and go back to Godhead at the end of this life. We should also help others to advance in spiritual consciousness and take them back too.
We should not be envious of anyone, but at the same we have to know the truth. We have to know that Krishna is in the heart of all living beings, but not living being is civilized. Ths we cannot approach lions and think I can bow down to Krishn within them, becuase they will eat you.
The Vedic followers must do more to preach the Vedic values and stop the world from becoming more degraded. There are others who are preaching to make God invisible and unknown, and make the humans into first class haters and deceivers. God can only be known to the Sanatan-Dharma followers and it's teachings are most civilized, all others are making humans more uncivilized.
The 6 Pillars of Sanatan-Dharma includes truthfulness and mercy, thse cannot be found in other religions.
Narada Muni said,
– "You are spending your days uselessly only meditating on how to increase your wealth. You should know very well that this material wealth is useless and the cause of all suffering. Real supreme wealth is transcendental knowledge.
– Please try to think about this for once seriously within your heart. None of your family members, like your wife and children and all your relatives, are yours eternally. At the time of your death no one will be yours. When you will die all your relatives will put your body into river water to float away and go back to their homes. If no one is a real relative of anyone then why do you run after these false hopes, hankering for so much material achievement?
– If you say that at least you are achieving pleasure in your life and are free from suffering and that is your justification for trying to accumulate so much wealth, dear king, that is also false, because this body will be destroyed one day. It will not exist more than 100 years.
– Therefore you should understand that the essence of everything is beyond this illusory material world in the spiritual world, where there is no trace of suffering in the enjoyment. In this material world some enjoyment is there but it always comes along with suffering.
– One must know how to cross over material nescience. What kind of sadhana should one follow to achieve that wonderful result of going back to Godhead, where there is no sorrow or suffering? Not only by renunciation nor just by knowledge can one achieve that. By knowledge and renunciation one may become free from material bondage and get liberation. But by achieving that kind of liberation one does not get real pleasure. In fact to get that kind of liberation is the greatest loss, because material pleasure is lost and at the same time not much worthwhile is achieved.
– Therefore the actually intelligent person will not accept bhukti or mukti, material sense gratification or liberation. Rather they practice, Bhakti-yoga, devotional service to Lord Sri Krishna. To be detached from material things and attached to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Krishna is everything on one's life – sambandha, abhidheya and prayojana.
– The jiva is the eternal servant of Sri Krishna. Without Bhakti everything is destroyed. The tree of Bhakti, Bhakti-Vriskha, gives the fruit of prema. That fruit is prayojana or the final goal of life.
– That Krishna-prema is our eternal wealth, in comparison to which bhukti and mukti are insignificant. Lord Sri Krishna is sat, cit and ananda. He is like the sun, the jivas are like rays of the sun and maya is the shadow. The Jiva is the tatastha sakti, marginal energy of the Lord and due to his marginal nature, when he comes in contact with maya she puts him in bondage. When the jiva becomes Krishna-bahirmukha or turns his face away from Krishna, he touches maya.
– By coming in contact with maya the jiva falls into the bondage of karma. Being caught by the net of maya the jiva moves around in the material universes and undergoes lots of suffering.
– Due to his attachment to karma he does not get liberation even if he tries his best to be free from suffering. Sometimes the jiva engages in logic. In spite of all these he ultimately remains in bondage, due to his non-acceptance of the real wealth of knowledge about the science of the self.
– If the jiva, while traversing this material world, gets the association of a sadhu then he will achieve sraddha or faith. In due course of time by practicing, Bhakti-yoga, devotional service to Lord Sri Krishna in the association of devotees, his heart will become free from anarthas, unwanted desires, and then he will achieve nistha, steadiness. After continuing his bhajana, at some time due to that nistha, he will develop ruci or taste and then later he will develop attachment or asakti to the Lord. From asakti he will attain bhava, which will later bring him to the platform of prema.
– This is the gradual process of achieving pure Bhakti, devotion. By practicing nine kinds of devotional service in the association of devotees, one will achieve the wealth of Krishna-prema."
I learnt the following from a Maharaj:
For the devotional services performed by the husband, the wife gets 50% of the benefit attained by the husband. Thus the husband gets 100%, wife 50%. It's for this reason that in Vedic culture, the wife serves the husband, because she will get 50% of the benefits from the husbands' good work.
For the devotional services performed by the wife, the husband gets nothing. The wife's account is personal, and the husband's account is shared. For the sinful activities committed by the wife, the husband has to pay 50%. This is one of the reasons why women should be protected from degradation, because the husbands will also be punished.
"When irreligion is prominent in the family, O Krsna, the women of the family become corrupt, and from the degradation of womanhood, O descendant of Vrsni, comes unwanted progeny." (Bhagavad-Gita 1.40)
Eat fresh. Throw out the microwave, as this will force you to eat old, frozen and unfresh foods. Our consciousness is definitely affected by what we eat. Eating unfresh foods makes us more lazy and blinds us by making us more ignorant of the truth. Eating flesh is only for the Lions and Tigers. Only the animals eat other animals.
"Food prepared more than three hours before being eaten, food that is tasteless, decomposed and putrid, and food consisting of remnants and untouchable things is dear to those in the mode of darkness." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 17.10)
What I keep realizing is that due to lack of knowledge there is degradation of humans everywhere in the world.
Studying the Bhagavad-Gita is Bhakti
One is performing Bhakti with intelligence if they study the Bhagavad-Gita.
"And I declare that he who studies this sacred conversation worships Me by his intelligence. " (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 18.70)
The Highest Bhakti
Performing deity worship, going to Temples, going on pilgrimage, meditating, and chanting the glories and names of Lord Krishna is certainly good, but the highest Bhakti is to spread the teachings of the Bhagavad-Gita to all of humanity.
"For one who explains the supreme secret to the devotees, devotional service is guaranteed, and at the end he will come back to Me. There is no servant in this world more dear to Me than he, nor will there ever be one more dear." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 18.68-69)
We MUST do more to spread the Vedic values to all.
Happy new year. May this year bring you closer to self-realization. This means to know that we are the eternal soul and not the temporary body.
"Life is an intelligent design, nothing happens by chance." (Steve Jobs, Founder of Apple Inc.)
If it's Monday then Tuesday will come for sure. If one week is over, another week will start for sure. If it's 2015, then 2016 will come forsure. In a similar way, happiness and distress will come and go. So stay focused on the spiritual path and not get deviated by the winds of material life (happiness, distress, disease, people problems and so on.)
The soul has 3 qualities, it is eternal, full of knowledge and full of bliss/love.
Within each and everyone of us, we have the knowledge to create even a universe, just like Lord Brahma. But currently we can't because the knowledge is covered. Just like a mirror is covered with dust, if we wipe off the dust, slowly we can see everything. In a similar way, if we uncover our ignorance, we can realize that we have incredible knowledge. We don't attain kowledge, but we simply uncover the covering that is blocking/hiding the knowledge. In some people the knowledge is more uncovered than others, and thus we have different levels of knowledge and understanding.
The 3 qualities of all Souls:
sac – Eternal
cid – Full of knowledge
ananda – Blissful
"As the blazing fire turns firewood to ashes, O Arjuna, so does the fire of knowledge burn to ashes all reactions to material activities." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 4.37)
So how does one uncover more knowledge?
Quality teachers/Gurus. Listen to those who have seen the truth and not those who only imagine or guess or pretend.
"Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized soul can impart knowledge unto you because he has seen the truth." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 4.34)
God is a person with a form and He is pleased by personal service.
What benefit would a King or President of country get from people bowing down to him or calling his name? Absolutely nothing.
What benefit would a child get if someone calls his/her name or bows down to him? Absolutely nothing.
What benefit would you get if someone calls your name or bows down to you? Absolutely nothing.
In a similar way, God gets absolutely no benefit if people just call His name or bow down to Him. The King/President can only benefits if people serve him by offering crops/taxes/goods which the King/President can use for himself and to maintain his kingdom/country. The child only benefits if his mother or others give him/her food, clothing, and shelter. In a similar way, God can only be benefited and pleased if we serve Him, by offering Him water, leaf, flower, and other items. This is called deity service. Serving Him in Person and in His deity form is the same, because He is so merciful that He accepts our service in our current condition. In the material creation, it is not possible for everyone to see God in His original form every day, and so He manifests Himself in the form of a deity, so everyone gets a chance to serve Him. God is omnipotent and omnipresent and so He manifests Himself in deities, to prove that He is merciful by giving everyone the chance to serve Him. This is the Vedic teaching, which comes from God Himself.
The whole purpose of Religion is to know and serve God. One is religious if he knows God as a person and serves Him via deity service.
Deity service includes offering Him food items, chanting His names, and chanting His glories. It is not that God needs our food or items, no. He is the one who supplies us with everything. Our offerings to Him gives us the chance to serve Him. On mother's day the child will buy items using the mother's money and give to the mother and she is very pleased. In a similar way, God is very pleased if we think of Him and thank Him for all He gives us by offering some of His items back to Him.
"If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.26)
"But those who worship Me with devotion, meditating on My transcendental form–to them I carry what they lack and preserve what they have." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.22)
"Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature and My supreme dominion over all that be." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.11)

This post was written by Nikita Patel, content marketer here at AdEspresso.com.
This just in! Pinterest has not only been rising in the ranks year after year, it's also become one of the top ways to drive sales revenue.
While I've highlighted the benefits of Pinterest for B2B brands, such as being one of the top social networks for driving sales and having higher engagement levels, new reports indicate that Pinterest is on its way to being a social media powerhouse.
According to the Q3 Social Intelligence Report from Adobe, social networking platforms like Pinterest are driving huge amounts of revenue year after year. In fact, Pinterest saw a 150 percent increase in revenue. More specifically, 55 cents per visitor. While this may not seem like a lot, in comparison to the low cost of social media marketing, Pinterest earns a pretty valuable ROI for B2C brands.
B2C, or business to consumer brands, are more prevalent on Pinterest than B2B brands. From beauty brands to food and beverage organizations, Pinterest has been an awesome way to connect with customers through a visually appealing medium.
Plus, since about 43 percent of Pinterest users note that they use the site to connect with retailers or brands that they identify with, Pinterest can be an open door to driving sales and building up your reputation in the process.
So, what are some key ways they can drive revenue using Pinterest?
Think about your audience
What are your customers looking for? Ways to make their lives easier? Content that will help them to pass the time? Innovative ways to do tasks they are familiar with? Though it may not be simple to gauge every like and dislike, understanding what the customer wants will help you to produce material that will be more attractive. More attractive content means a higher chance your audience will convert into customers.
A great organization that is in tune with what their audience wants is Whole Foods Market. The grocery store, which specializes in natural and organic products, has about 57 boards, all with the consumer in mind.
In addition to the many boards that interest their customers, Whole Foods has boards like "Whole Kids Foundation" and "Our Favorite Books" which not only provide insightful and attractive information content, but also link back to Whole Foods itself. This connects content with the end goal: More conversions and higher revenue.
Encourage consumers to "pin" your products
While relatable content is always a great way to drive sales, you have to give your audience a call-to-action, as well. One of the main benefits of Pinterest is the fact that you can "pin" or save content to reference or use in the future. However, there are some ways B2C brands can use this method as a way to increase activity, and therefore sales, from your customers.
Beauty retail store Sephora is a good example. With 55 boards and over 200,000 followers, Sephora has definitely made a large dent on Pinterest. CMO and Chief Digital Officer Julie Bornstein believes the same: "Pinterest is the perfect venue to visually share shoppable new products, how-to's, and cool images. It's a place to get inspired by beauty."
However, Sephora went one step further by encouraging action. According to Social Media Delivered, the store created "pinnable" emails in 2012. These emails contained new products, as well as links to Pinterest accounts, which helped to drive engagement and activity. In addition, Sephora also sent emails specifically to Pinterest users, which allowed them to pin content directly from their emails.
The result? Sephora Pinterest users send 15 times more money on Sephora.com than the average Facebook fan. In addition, a month after the first email campaign, Sephora also saw 60% growth in traffic from Pinterest.
Use giveaways
Everyone likes a prize at the end of the journey, right? While your main concern may be sales, you have to entice your audience in order to get there. Using giveaways is a great way to do this since it gives your audience members a reason to engage and use your Pinterest page.
American clothing company The Limited plays the giveaway game pretty efficiently. First, they take a page out of Sephora's playbook by sending out Pinterest-themed emails. However, they go one step further by asking customers to choose the perfect holiday presents from their "Gift Guide" board and pin their holiday wishlists. Those who participate are entered to with a $100 gift card, which encourages consumers to participate while promoting The Limited products at the same time.
While these methods aren't the end-all of driving revenue on Pinterest, they can be a great way to jumpstart your business, and your bottom line, in a streamlined fashion. Let us know what methods you use in the comments below!

11 Awesome Anime You Can Finish in One Binge-Watching Session
Anime like One Piece, Naruto and Dragon Ball Z have their moments, but those moments are usually sandwiched between months of fillers. And with the holiday break coming to a close, you may not have that kind of time. So, for your hectic scheduling needs, here are 11 awesome anime you can easily finish in one binge-watching session.
NOTE: whenever possible, the only stories included are those that actually represented the entire story (or at least enough to feel like a complete series). Because we all know some short anime are just trailers for the more complete manga, and you don't need that heartache as the end credits roll.
1) Tonari No Seki-Kun: The Master of Killing Time
Length: 17 eight-minute episodes
Proof that big things do come in small packages, Tonari No Seki-Kun takes an incredibly simple concept and builds on it with layers of hilarity. Seki is a boy who sits in the last row in class and plays games instead of working. Rumi, his studious neighbor, is bothered by this to no end. And while she likes to pretend she's working, she really starts getting involved in the games herself. Seki doesn't talk; Rumi has some of the most hilarious overreactions you will ever see. Couple that with how the series makes pop culture references (in one game, Seki draws people on his lunch and eats them like a Titan), and it's a total blast to watch. And with a net running time of less than three hours, why aren't you watching it already?
2) Kids on the Slope
Length: 12 (half-hour) episodes
Two high school kids who have grown up as best friends. A third high school kid who moves into town and instantly becomes friends with them. Love triangle alert! But before it starts to become too generic, the story finds its own rhythm--literally--as we see the world of classic jazz come alive in their band. Emotion, music, and religion all play a role as we see the journey from young adult to adult. And all in just six hours.
3) Un-Go
Length: 11 episodes
Yes, there are investigators other than L out there. Known not-so-fondly as "The Defeated Detective," protagonist Shinjuro Yuki works hard at solving murders. And when he can't do it on his own (which is always), he enlists the help of Inga, a demon seductress who serves as his boss and spends most of her time as his innocuous child companion (and you thought your boss was breathing down your neck all the time). Together, Inga and Shinjuro spend their days solving crimes and exposing corrupted souls, which Inga then goes on to devour. How's that for food that's good for the environment?
4) My Little Monster
Length: 13 episodes
Yes, I know--breaking the rule about not including stories that didn't complete the manga's run. But with this romantic comedy, you get essentially the better part of the manga's run, and it's really just a story you shouldn't miss because the anime in itself is so satisfying. Shizuku is a well-behaved, studious member of society (read: nerdy social outcast). Fate crosses her path with Haru Yoshida, a troublesome delinquent who actually has a heart of gold. Shizuku meets Haru. Shizuku hates Haru. Shizuku falls in love with Haru. Doesn't take a genius to figure out the plot, but Haru's crazy antics and their impact on the more straight-laced Shizuku are the stuff of comedy gold. Easily one of the funniest anime of all time.
5) Usagi Drop
Length: 11 episodes
Again, know I'm breaking the rule about stories that didn't complete the manga's run. But, again, you pretty much get the majority of the story, and here's the added bonus: you miss out on the very disturbing, creepy ending to the very sweet manga. Daikichi is a single man who has no intention of getting married even though he's touching 30. When his grandfather passes away, he leaves behind a daughter--who's eight and has nowhere to go. So, yes, single man Daikichi adopts his own aunt. It is a sweet story about how a wonderful child drops into a man's life and gives it meaning, which should not be missed. And, again, don't even worry about the part of the manga you missed. It's creepier than an Eren Jaeger dream.
6) House of Five Leaves
Length: 12 episodes
Protagonist Akitsu is a ronin. What that essentially means is that he can slice you up with his sword in about 20 different ways, and has no alliegance to any kind of master. Akitsu also happens to be meek, and a little dumb--which is why he's always out of a job. Of course, someone like that would get exploited in the cutthroat world of feudal society. So it comes as a pleasant surprise when he is hired as a bodyguard for pretty-boy Yaichi...except Yaichi lives in a brothel and runs a secret group called the Five Leaves. How Akitsu deals with being a part of something greater is a story that turns the classic samurai fable on its head, and delivers one of the most unique, depressing ronin stories this side of Rurouni Kenshin.
7) Code:Breaker
Length: 13 episodes
While riding the bus one day, high school student and martial artist Sakura sees a boy her age standing atop a bunch of people being burned alive. When she goes back, there are no corpses and no evidence of such an inhumane crime. In class, she sees the same boy. He is assassin Rei Ogami, a "Code: Breaker" who works for the government. And before you start to scream that it's like every sci-fi story you've ever heard, let me confirm: you are right. But it's well done with a decent cast of characters and enough intrigue to keep you hooked for the small duration of the series. So, when looking for your secret conspiracy fix, look no further than this little bundle of joy. Creepy, dark, conspiratorial joy.
8) Ramen Fighter Miki
Length: 12 episodes
Note: there is a sequel manga series that was never adapted to television, so if you really end up loving the anime, you might have to go reading. And now that we have that book-hazard disclaimer out of the way, let's talk about Ramen Fighter Miki, a lovely little send up to action anime and martial arts films starring a lovable protagonist who is as unlike traditional anime action females as can be. She's not a seductress with fan blades. She's not a commando from a secret high school for martial artists. She's not an elite assassin who was bred in a lab to kill. She's a noodle delivery girl whose own mother dropkicks her whenever she's late. The show has the feeling of a sitcom on steroids, and spoofs everything from Jackie Chan to nearly every important anime ever made.
9) Another
Length: 12 episodes
Spoiler alert: you will be creeped out. Our setting is Yomiyama North Middle School. Many years ago, in class 3-3, there was a student named Misaki. Misaki died. Years later, Koichi transfers to class 3-3, and he sees a girl named Mei. Mei is ignored by all, but Koichi and Mei form a bond. And then...people start to die. In strange ways. And, somehow, Misaki is a part of all this. Can Koichi and Mei figure out what's happening before their tombstone gets an early engraving? Short, creepy and strangely touching, this is a story that you don't want to miss. And probably don't want to watch alone.
10) Chance Pop Session
Length: 13 episodes
For every person who grew up dreaming about someday becoming a pop star, here is an anime that shows you both the ups and downs of such a life. Akari, Yuki and Nozomi all meet up at an idol concert. They all also happen to make it into an awesome program at a music school, where potential stars are upgraded into a class that essentially thrusts them into the limelight of tomorrow. They also learn about their past connections to each other, and fall in love. So, in every way possible, it is like a mature shojo manga come to life (and it's not even based on a manga). So if you ever liked music, anime or idol stories, this is as true as it can get to any of them without actually including clips from a T-ara tour.
11) Night Raid 1931
Length: 13 episodes
The year is 1931. Shanghai is on the path of becoming one of the central players in World War II. To stop the tides of war, a special team of spies is dispatched to spy on and eliminate the deadliest of targets. Most of what happens in Night Raid 1931 is fiction. Some of it is fact. Much like most history books. And for one of the most tumultuous times in the history of Asia, the aftereffects of which are still felt in society today, you could do a lot worse research than watching a thoroughly enjoyable anime about a bunch of supernatural experts of espionage.
So there you have it: 11 awesome anime you can easily finish this weekend. So what other short and sweet stories do you love? Sound off in the comments below! And for all your news needs, be sure to follow Dramafever on Twitter!

How many bit strings of length n are palindromes? Hint: Consider two cases n is even and n is odd. Note a palindrome is a "string" of letters or numbers which read the same frontwards and backwards. Examples: MOM, 1101011, 10111101 are palindromes.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com August 16, 2018, 7:13 pm ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
Hello and thank you for posting your question to BrainMass.
Let's see first how many different strings we can make with k bits.
If we have one bit, then we have two possible strings (namely "0" and "1")
If we have k=2 bits, then we have to possibilities for the first bit and two possibilities for the second bit, so together there are 2x2 = 4 possibles strings.
In a k length string, each bit has two possible values, hence the total number of strings is 2x2x.....2 = 2^k
Now we can start with out palindrome strings of length n.
Say we set the k<n bit. Then, by the definition of the palindrome this immediately sets the ...
Solution Summary
String bits and palindromes are assessed in this solution.

Actress Eva Mendes dug out ill-fitting jean shorts from her teenage years and shaved back her eyebrows to perfect her haggard look as a worried single mom in new movie The Place Beyond The Pines.
The Training Day star wanted to look less like a hot Hollywood star and more like a woman who had suffered for the film - and so she used "little tricks" to glam down.
She tells WENN, "I wanted to make sure that you could see it on her face and on her body. I did certain little tricks that I'd like to keep secret to make sure I looked haggard and that time had its way with me. I did the obvious greying of my hair, but one of the tricks I did was to shave down my eyebrows to a very, very thin point which I don't really recommend for an every day look.
"When you want to change your face a bit and look a little insane, it actually works. I wanted it to come from an emotional place rather than going into prosthetics. She goes from her 20s to her early 40s and there is a difference there but it's not as drastic and we didn't want the attention to go to, 'Oh my God, is that her?'
"A little tidbit: those horrific jean shorts that were so God awful were mine from 1992. They were a little ill fitting, ripped on the sides and needed some tweaking and that's what I wanted for her; she's raw."

Jesse Eisenberg got so carried away acting in a scene in his play The Spoils that he vomited onstage.
The Social Network actor stars alongside The Big Bang Theory's Kunal Nayyar in the dark comedy in London, following a run on Broadway, and they both admit they get nervous before every performance because anything can happen.
As an example, Jesse revealed to U.K. show This Morning that he vomited on stage just last week (ends26Jun16) while he was having an argument with Kunal, and the audience had no idea they were witnessing an unscripted moment.
"Last week, Kunal and I are screaming at each other on stage and I threw up," Jesse said, before Kunal added, "You choked. You were trying to swallow air to try and make your next point and bile came out."
Kunal has also accidentally punched Jesse in the face during the show, and had to blow his nose onstage because his allergies were getting the better of him. He smiled, "I literally had snot leaking out my nose... it was an emergency."
Jesse reluctantly signed on to star in his own play because he gets "terrible near-debilitating stage fright" but admits it would be worse for him to not do it.
The duo are still as nervous following around 200 performances as they were on day one because they just don't know what to expect.
"For some reason, I think, because we still have to do the entire play, even in the last performance... so I'm still panicked about the whole thing," Jesse explained. "I think I can come up with anything to worry about."
"We all get it, by the way," Kunal interjected. "You're on stage for two hours and 15 minutes and anything can happen at any moment. There is this feeling you're standing on the edge of a cliff... you're teetering on that line the entire show."
The Spoils runs at the Trafalgar Studios until 13 August (16), although Kunal will not be performing from the end of July (16).

December 9, 2012 --A year ago, Britt Steinhoff of Island Lake was busy getting ready to celebrate the holidays with her 10-year-old twin sons.
This year, she is trying to rebuild her life with one of her sons and striving for justice in the crash that killed her other boy.
The twins' father, who was driving the boys when their car was hit by another driver near Wauconda, pleaded guilty to having marijuana in his system and got probation. The driver of the other vehicle was charged with reckless homicide.

THN reveals that each Stanley Cup contender has something remarkable in common with a Best Picture contender at the upcoming Oscars.
I once ate an amazing cheeseburger that had
grilled cheese sandwiches for buns. Combining two great things often makes for one really, really awesome thing. While recently pondering my two favorite pastimes, hockey and movies, I realized my
pre-season Stanley Cup pick had not changed at the season's midway point. It was still the St. Louis Blues. I also decided my pick to win the 2013 Oscar for Best Picture was
12 Years a Slave. That gave me an idea. Why not compare the remaining eight Best Picture noms to my remaining top eight Cup contenders? With that, I present to you a literary grilled cheese sandwich burger, a.k.a. a breakdown of Stanley Cup frontrunners as Oscar-nominated films. It's go time, in alphabetical order.
ANAHEIM DUCKS: Philomena
What does hockey in Orange County have in common with an elderly woman searching for her long-lost son? Both are targeted to niche markets, neither is a box-office smash and both are excellent entertainment for their few loyal supporters. The Ducks are the NHL's best team, led by powerhouse seasons from Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. Philomena is a charming tale led by powerhouse performances from Dame Judi Dench and Steve Coogan. Does any one really expect Anaheim and
Philomena to take home the hardware? Probably not, but underestimate them at your own risk.
BOSTON BRUINS: Nebraska
The common theme here is denial. The Bruins need to face the fact they need help for Zdeno Chara. In
Nebraska, Bruce Dern's character needs to face the fact he probably hasn't won a million dollars.
CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS: The Wolf of Wall Street
Like Leo's Jordan Belfort, the Hawks are dominant, flashy, money-making machines. All they do is win. And it's a wild party to watch the process. Sooner or later, though, they may burn out from all the winning and their competition may chase them down. And you get the feeling Patrick Kane and Belfort would get along famously. Both have a history of extracurricular shenanigans and both are dazzlingly good at what they do.
COLORADO AVALANCHE: Her
In the terrifying, not-too-distant future, humans fall in love with hyper-intelligent operating systems and the Colorado Avalanche, led by Matt Duchene and Nathan MacKinnon, are a superpower.
LOS ANGELES KINGS: Gravity
Really cool, beloved by Hollywood and terrifying in space. Probably won't win it all, but wouldn't surprise anyone if they did.
PITTSBURGH PENGUINS: Dallas Buyers Club
Dallas Buyers Club likely won't win Best Picture, but it's worth seeing simply for Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto's amazing performances. And the Penguins may flop in the playoffs again, as they have for several seasons in a row, but my goodness, it's fun to watch Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin play. It seems McConaughey and Sid attract a lot of haters, maybe because so many ladies have crushes on them, but why not can the jealousy and accept that these guys are exceptional at their crafts?
SAN JOSE SHARKS: American Hustle
The Sharks sure look great this season, but let's remember what they are: a team that fakes a British accent and cons us into believing it's a contender year after year.
TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING: Captain Phillips
Tampa miraculously stays afloat, waiting for its leader to return after he suffered an unexpected and violent fate. Sound familiar?

Hello everyone!
About a year ago, in the midst of a particularly boring semester at Penn State, I decided that instead of countless hours of Facebook and TV, I wanted to do something productive with my extra time and passion for writing. After some browsing and inspiration, including many viewings of Julie and Julia, I took a leap into the world of blogging; thus, A Swell Cup of Bren was born.
ASCoB, as lovingly referred to on the streets, was a fantastic way to share my writing with the world. However, as I began surfing and becoming avid readers of many other blogs, I began to notice that the best blogs had a focus. A category. A place for readers with common interests to meet and share.
That's why I have created a new blog. A common feature on ASCoB was to share my adoration of cheap clothes with pictures of recent thrift shop and vintage store purchases. I figured, why not devote an entire blog to it? In these tough economic times, I think we can all agree that when it comes to fashion, bargains are the way to go. I come from a long line of shoppers, and I hope to gain more readers who thrive on stepping into the musty disorganization of a thrift shop, the excitement in wearing old clothes with an unknown origin, and, of course, the thrill of a good bargain.
So! Get ready. It'll be fun. :-)
-Bren, aka, The Funky Junkie

By Thayne Groff, Glenda Groff, Kathryn Justman and the Chetco Activity Center board, Brookings
Almost from its inception in 1988, the Chetco Activity Center has served the shut-in seniors of Brookings and south Curry County, delivering Meals-on-Wheels five days a week.
By our name and our beginnings, as the Chetco Senior Center, we have always been devoted to seniors, to improving their quality of life and their environments.
Recently, with an expanded agenda to serve the broader community, we changed the name to Chetco Activity Center and lately, hosted Fundthe4thFireworks, SHIBA appointments, free tax counseling and the weekly program Time-Out for Seniors.
Every Monday, the Time-Out for Seniors program, under grants, helps caregivers take a day off, and we currently has openings for new clients — at no charge.
Our most important service is delivering Meals-on-Wheels to homebound seniors or disabled who have no other way to get regular, nourishing meals at home. This service is not fully funded, so only a small portion is covered by government grants.
Therefore, community participation in programs at the Chetco Activity Center is how we keep the doors open for everyone.
Community help is three-fold:
•Buy tickets to our Thanksgiving Day Dinner Nov. 23, 2017.
•Become a member of the center with your annual membership fee of $15, or your lifetime membership of $150, entitling you to all our sponsored classes, workshops and recreations for free.
•Invite a friend and have a lunch date with us weekly for the suggested donation of $6 for seniors and $7.50 for those under 60 years of age. Every meal served helps fund a meal delivered at home. Very generous volunteers do all the driving for Meals-on-Wheels. Our gratitude to the many volunteers is boundless.
Our Thanksgiving Dinner fundraiser has two seatings, 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., and includes a complete turkey dinner, a selection of pies, beverage and a raffle for gift certificates to help with your early Christmas shopping. Dinner tickets are $14 in advance or $16 at the door.
On Dec. 5, our new friends, the Coastline Neighbors' clients and volunteers will join us for lunch and provide ice cream for dessert.
Come in to get a calendar of events, or call us between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., weekdays, at 541-469-6822. We are also online at www.chetcoac.org.
Our board of directors and all our members hope you and your families have a wonderful holiday season this year.

Kenneth Rexroth
Proust's Madeleine - Poem by Kenneth Rexroth
Somebody has given my
Baby daughter a box of
Old poker chips to play with.
Today she hands me one while
I am sitting with my tired
Brain at my desk. It is red.
On it is a picture of
An elk's head and the letters
B.P.O.E.—a chip from
A small town Elks' Club. I flip
It idly in the air and
Catch it and do a coin trick
To amuse my little girl.
Suddenly everything slips aside.
I see my father
Doing the very same thing,
Whistling "Beautiful Dreamer,"
His breath smelling richly
Of whiskey and cigars. I can
Hear him coming home drunk
From the Elks' Club in Elkhart
Indiana, bumping the
Chairs in the dark. I can see
Him dying of cirrhosis
Of the liver and stomach
Ulcers and pneumonia,
Or, as he said on his deathbed, of
Crooked cards and straight whiskey,
Slow horses and fast women.

(PRWEB) November 30, 2013
FabAlley, a website for fashionware and accessories for women, and Worldoo, a website developed for kids, which are designed and developed completely by the leading Indian web development company IT Chimes, have been able to generate much interest from the public. While FabAlley won additional funding to improve supply chain, manufacturing, warehousing and marketing, Worldoo made it big when they reached the milestone of fifty thousand active users.
This news generated a positive response from IT Chimes management, as it was expected. The company, which is known to deliver cutting edge solutions for almost every web development related needs, expressed its happiness by issuing a statement. "We are very happy to see that our efforts, along with the hard work from the FabAlley and Worldoo managements of course, were fruitful and our clients benefited from our work. We convey our sincere wishes to the managements of FabAlley and Worldoo and hope they prosper and grow even more."
"This news shows that we are dedicated and committed to each of our clients and we want to say that we work with the same level of dedication on each project we undertake. While FabAlley and Worldoo are two brilliant examples, some of our previous clients also benefited from our work," the company statement concluded.
The news of FabAlley winning the added investment came in the leading Indian newspaper Economic times. An Indian investment company called Angel Investors decided to provide the management with more funds so that they can add more products to their repertoire and also improve the functioning of the company. FabAlley, which is one of the leading Indian ecommerce portal, is poised now to increase the business manifold. Founded by ex-employee of Titan, Tanvi Malik, and ex-employee of Avendus Capital, Shivani Poddar, the company used the service of IT Chimes to build their website which the latter was able to finish quickly and up to the satisfaction of the FabAlley owners.
Worldoo, on the other hand, was a completely different type of site, created using dotnet, MSSQL, Flash, jquery and ajax. The site is completely dedicated to the kids where they learn how to socialize and grow mature in the world, thorough a colorful and fun environment. Created from scratch, the main difficulty was to match the backend programming with the bubbly front end, designed for the kids and also kept very simple for them. Worldoo was recently featured in the Indian blockbuster film, Krish 3, as well.
Handling two very different types of websites equally efficiently proves the versatility and efficiency of the IT Chimes workforce beyond doubts.
IT Chimes, the developer and designer of these sites, has developed numerous sites previously and has a large client base spread all over the world, especially North America, India and the Middle East. The company has been able to design and develop some of the very complex projects in odd niches quite successfully. Established in 2005, the company has now registered offices in the USA and the UK while maintaining its headquarters in India. IT Chimes presently have more than 120 employees, working in different fields.

Qur'an 4: 83.
"When there comes to them some News touching safety or fear, they make it known: if only they had referred it to the Messenger or to him who holds the authority ( Ou'lil-Amr ) among them, the proper investigators, they would have understood it from them ( weather it should be published or not )……….".
Qur'an 4: 85.
" Whosoever intercedes for good cause will have the reward thereof, and whosoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a share in his burden….".
Live TV Coverage of any incident can create social anarchy, frustration and harassment. Therefore, it is not lawful to publish any news either good or bad until you have taken approval from the authorized ones in the state.
The only authorized ones according to the holy guidance of our Lord are those, who have been appointed the representatives of the Lord All- Mighty on this earth, and have been rightfully guided ones / the only authorized Judges for the mankind. Except them no one else can be a Judge because, a sinner has already convicted himself and any convicted one can not be a Judge in the law.
Qur'an 7: 181.
" And of those whom We have created, there is a community who guides others with Truth and establish Judgments ( being the only Judges )".
These holy guided ones and true Judges in the Law of Hz: Muhammed ( SAWW ) have been appointed, as the previous Judges were appointed in the law of Moses ( A.S ). And they were the sons of Hz: Haroon ( A.S) only. It is still recorded in Torait at Exodus ( Shema'aut/ Sam'aut / Hearing ) 28 : 38, 41-41, Exodus : 29 : 5, 29, 33 & 44, Exodus 30 : 30 and Leviticus ( Vaqarra / Vaqar'ra / Honored ones ) 21 : 6-8. They were the holy ones for the whole 12 tribes of Hz: Musa ( A.S ), and were authorized to establish Judgments ( being the only Judges).
Moreover, they were the only Priests in the tenure of the previous holy Prophets. No one else was allowed to be a Priest in the place of worship ( the Mosque of the time ) except them. The sons of Ely (JJ) were authorized similarly, and called holy Priests for the current part of Islam. It was also stated by the holy Prophet Muhammed (SAWW) himself that Imam-e-Ely (JJ) with me is like Hz: Haroon (A.S) with Hz: Musa (A.S).
Holy Qur'an has recorded for these sons of Hz Haroon ( A.S ) as under:
Qur'an 7: 159.
"And of the people of Musa (A.S ) there is a group { sons of Hz: Haroon ( A.S )} who guides others with truth and establish judgments. ( being the only Judges ). Now we can compare this above holy verse of Qur'an 159 above, with the holy verse no 181in below, which is referred for the sons of Imam-e- ELY (JJ) in Qur'an showing the same authority.
Qur'an 7: 181.
" And of those whom We have created, there is a community who guides others with Truth and establish Judgments ( being the only Judges )".
Now think upon it, who will be the Judge & a holy Priest within you? You have to decide yourself. The holy Qur'an said:
Qur'an 4 : 79.
" Whatever of good reaches you, is from Allah. And whatever of evil reaches you is from yourself…….".
