|NITAAI-Veda.nyf > Spiritual Questions & Answers > Swami QnA 2007 > Manasika japa
Title: Manasika japa
User: Igor Date: 2007-08-22 10:22:25
Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krsna
All glories to divine chanting of Nityananda and Gauranga Mantrarajas!
All glories to Swami Gaurangapada!
Dear Gurudeva, I have questions about different ways of chanting.
In Sandilya Upanishad it is said "The Vaikhari Japa gives the reward as stated in the Vedas; the Upamshu Japa which cannot be heard by anyone gives a reward a thousand times more; the Manasika Japa gives a reward a crore times more than the Vaikhari Japa."
Regarding to this description ( I found it on net, so I am not sure about original translation), manasika japa or mental repetition of mantra is very powerfull. I have several questions about that
1. Is mental repetation of mantra more powerful then loud, audio repetation of mantra?
2.Is mental repetation of mantra also considering to be chanting, or only voice or audiable pronanciation of mantras are count in sadhana?
3. Some devotees consider that evan Naam Acharya Srilla Haridasa Thakur practiced manasika-japa, or that he chanted about 1/3 of prescribed rounds mentaly?
4.Others consider that manasika-japa is not for Gaudiya-vaisnavas because our process is sravana-kirtana, listening and singing. Some devotees are thinking that this manasika japa is for hatha, asthanga yogis or worshipers of Shiva. Is it true?
I am humbly offering my obeisances unto you and all assembled devotees
Wishing you happy chanting and happy preaching
Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krsna
Title: Re: Mental Japa
User: Swami Gaurangapada Date: 2007-08-22 12:34:18
Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! Jaya Shri Guru Parampara! I have replied to this question earlier Igor. You can read the article here. Please let me know if any of your above four questions was not answered satisfactorily in the above article or if you have any further questions regarding it.
Daaso'smi, Swami Gaurangapada.

Centennial Olympic Park
The Centennial Olympic Park pays tribute to Atlanta's time as the host of the 1996 Summer Olympics. The park was created before the games began and still stands as a place to remember the Olympics. In addition to plenty of landscaped grass for outdoor activities, the park features a beautiful fountain in the shape of the Olympic rings. The interactive fountain includes an array of synchronized water jets timed to music. Children can play in the adjacent splash pad on a hot day. Around the fountain, visitors will find flags from each of the previous Summer Olympic host countries. Other sections of the park display plaques and other information for tourists to learn more about the 1996 Olympic Games.
Georgia Aquarium
The Georgia Aquarium ranks as the world's largest aquarium. This aquarium features tanks holding more than 8.5 million gallons of water and over 100,000 animals. Some of the most impressive residents of the Georgia Aquarium include beluga whales, giant Pacific octopuses, whale sharks and Great Hammerhead sharks. Many of these fine specimens were donated from other countries. The aquarium also houses an indoor exhibit dedicated solely to dolphins. Other attractions include an underwater tunnel and a display of polar mammals.
Atlanta History Center
Surrounded by beautiful grounds, the Atlanta History Center gives visitors a look at the history of the city. One exhibit gives tourists an in-depth overview of the 1996 Olympic Games held in Atlanta. This exhibit includes film clips and related memorabilia. Other museum displays take visitors back to the American Civil War. Visitors may glance at over 1,400 Civil War era artifacts. Other highlights include a look at the growth and expansion of the city of Atlanta from its earliest beginnings.
Atlanta Botanical Garden
The Atlanta Botanical Garden offers nature lovers a rare opportunity to see an urban forest from above. Visitors can walk along the elevated boardwalk to stare at the sprawling forest 40 feet below. The garden also houses an impressive collection of exotic orchids and a formal Japanese garden. Children are welcome to play in a garden created just for them, featuring fun sculptures and interactive learning stations.
Fernbank Museum of Natural History
The Fernbank Museum of Natural History focuses on the natural history of the Atlanta area. Upon entering the main hall, visitors are greeted by the impressive sight of numerous large and intimidating dinosaur skeletons. The museum houses a skeleton of an Argentinosaurus, the largest dinosaur skeleton ever assembled. Other delights in the museum include a close look at evolution, a vibrant coral aquarium and a collection of stunning gemstones.

These days, the word sustainable has become practically meaningless, with most "sustainable" products just a step less bad than conventional alternatives. And because of the power of such "sustainababble," the world largely has ignored the rich spectrum of political, cultural, and technological changes that would set us on the path to a truly sustainable future. The new State of the World 2013—which features contributions from experts at the Worldwatch Institute, such as Senior Fellow Erik Assadourian, as well as from environmental thought leaders such as The Story of Stuff author Annie Leonard—argues that while the science of sustainability is clearer than ever, we still face the question of whether transforming our society into one guided by sustainability is even possible. Assadourian and Leonard are joined in conversation by Chip Giller, founder and president of Grist.

Luke J. Harmon and Dan Rabosky recently e-enterviewed Joe Felsenstein. Here are some interesting points:
The commentaries are also very enlightening.
Luke: What are the most exciting recent developments in systematics / comparative methods?
Joe: The availability of genome-scale information is certainly one. The arrival of a generation of young researchers who are comfortable with statistical and computational approaches is another. But the most important development is reflected in recent work on coalescent trees of gene copies within trees of species. What this does is tie together between-species molecular evolution and within-species population genetics. Those two lines of work have been developing almost independently since the 1960s. But now, with population samples of sequences at multiple loci in multiple related species, they are coming back together. This is not another Modern Synthesis, but it is a major event that needs a name. How about the "Family Reunion"? Long-estranged relatives who have not been in touch are getting together.
Luke: What do you think about the current trend in phylogenetics (and, lately, comparative biology) towards Bayesian approaches?
Joe: I am a curmudgeon on this, in that Bayesian approaches do not feel right to me. So I have been resisting them. Bayesians were unhappy with the treatment of Bayesian Inference in my book, in that I did not give them four chapters, the last of which ended by declaring victory. I think we're all Bayesians when we come to cross the street, balancing evidence of approaching cars against our priors. But that's where one of the criticisms of Bayesianism comes in -- do we all have the same priors? Is there necessarily a single prior that you can use that will be broadly acceptable to your readership? If not, then maybe the reader of the paper should instead be given the likelihood curve so they can apply their own prior to it. For phylogenies, priors giving equal probability to all topologies (or to all labeled histories) would be noncontroversial. But the part of the prior that puts distributions on branch lengths could be wildly controversial. There is also the issue of whether some things, such as whether the sun will rise tomorrow morning, really should have a prior.
People should be Bayesians if that fits with their philosophy of doing science. But not just because a Bayesian program happens to run faster than a non-Bayesian one. They should also realize that we will continue to have both Bayesians and non-Bayesians. Biologists sometimes think that this controversy emerged in their field and will be settled there -- that one more really good argument and everyone will become a Bayesian. They might not be aware that Bayesian arguments have been around since 1764. There is no new decisive argument that's going to arise in our field.
The issue to contemplate is the priors, not the details of MCMC techniques. We have not yet seen a case where an important conclusion depends strongly on what prior you assume. Perhaps we never will, but if a case like that arises, and causes trouble for Bayesian approaches, people should not be too surprised.
The commentaries are also very enlightening.

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics." – some dead guy, possibly Benjamin Disraeli
Numbers have always been questionable representatives. While we pretend that numbers are neutral placeholders, empty vessels, this is not really the case. Numbers are always already political. Whether they are representing a date, a time or a line of longitude, numbers harbor worlds of political significance. These worlds are often opaque to us, and that's okay. It is only with statistics that this opacity becomes problematic. Statistics are the most politically charged numbers possible, but they are more malicious because their status as numbers enables them to be falsely veiled in impartiality.
The latest statistic to don the veil is the one deployed in critiques of Quentin Tarantino's Film Django Unchained. Critics have noted the frequency of "nigger" in the film and cited it as evidence of Tarantino's "infatuation" with the word. I call this hollow statistic the "nigger count."
At the end of "The Protean N-Word," the first chapter of Randall Kennedy's provocatively-titled book, Nigger, he writes, "…nigger can mean many different things, depending upon, among other variables, intonation, the location of the interaction, and the relationship between the speaker and to those who he is speaking" (Kennedy 43). This quote does little justice to the extensive historical analysis Kennedy deploys in that chapter, but it's a concise point of departure. Kennedy's main point is that nigger cannot be pinned down to one definition or usage: it is protean.This protean, ambiguous nature of the word is tacitly ignored in citations of the word's frequency within Django. Each utterance of the word is flattened and compressed into the abominable slur we love to hate.
This compression is a violent act that sharply stands at odds with the content of the movie. For instance, when Django and Schultz first meet Stephen, Stephen openly refers to Django as a nigger. This condescending designation clearly differs from the post-credit sequence in which slaves ask, "Who was that nigga?" in response to Django's bold escape. Even when Django and Stephen have their final showdown, nigger is used sarcastically and insolently, respectively. There are further examples, but I'd rather not belabor the point. In short, nigger isn't a singular term. Accordingly, its mere occurrence neither tells us how it is being used nor how we should subsequently respond.
One particular critique we should attend to was issued by Jelani Cobb. Cobb is ultimately concerned with the consequences of viewing Django as an alternate history of slavery, but he has more than a few words about nigger and its "numb frequency" within the film. This use of "numb" is telling. The relationship between numbness and frequency that Cobb suggests is inverse. Under this schema, potency lies in rarity: nigger can only hurt when you hear it once a week. This understanding of the relationship between numbness and frequency is inconceivable under slavery. Nigger [as an insult] was always simultaneously both violent and lame, boring. This is what Tarantino brings out in the film. Nigger grates the ear and glides past it. To claim that the frequency of nigger "cheapens" it is to presume that it is somehow diluted with every use. The truth is that it is always already both diluted and concentrated.
Interestingly, Cobb goes on to connect the numb frequency of nigger in Django to its occurrences in Tarantino's previous films – specifically Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction – and suggests that Tarantino is engaging in "racial ventriloquism," a "kind of camouflage that allows Tarantino to use the word without recrimination." Apparently the nigger count was not accurate enough: Cobb had to expand it to Tarantino's oeuvre. This larger number tells us even less than the original hollow statistic. Yes, nigger is uttered, but why? When? How? To whom? Amongst who?
In the end, the nigger count is a hollow statistic. Calling out instances of questionable racial politics in films is good – I did it when I wrote about The FP – but hiding behind numbers is just shitty, especially when they amount to lame personal complaints.

Diminished Quotes (displaying: 1 - 10 of 274 quotes )
There are two ways of being happy: We may either diminish our wants or augment our means- either will do- the result in the same; and it is for each man to decide for himself, and do that which happens to be the easiest. If you are idle or sick or poor, however hard it may be to diminish your wants, it will be harder to augment your means. If you are active and prosperous or young and in good health, it may be easier for you to augment your means than to diminish your wants. But if you are wise, you will do both at the same time, young or old, rich or poor, sick or well; and if you are very wise you will do both in such a way as to augment the general happiness of society.
This light of history is pitiless; it has a strange and divine quality that, luminous as it is, and precisely because it is luminous, often casts a shadow just where we saw a radiance; out of the same man it makes two different phantoms, and the one attacks and punishes the other, the darkness of the despot struggles with the splendor of the captain. Hence a truer measure in the final judgment of the nations. Babylon violated diminishes Alexander; Rome enslaved diminishes Caesar; massacred Jerusalem diminishes Titus. Tyranny follows the tyrant. Woe to the man who leaves behind a shadow that bears his form.
To diminish the worth of women, men had to diminish the worth of the moon. They had to drive a wedge between human beings and the trees and the beasts and the waters, because trees and beasts and waters are as loyal to the moon as to the sun. They had to drive a wedge between thought and feeling...At first they used Apollo as the wedge, and the abstract logic of Apollo made a mighty wedge, indeed, but Apollo the artist maintained a love for women, not the open, unrestrained lust that Pan has, but a controlled longing that undermined the patriarchal ambition. When Christ came along, Christ, who slept with no female...Christ, who played no musical instrument, recited no poetry, and never kicked up his heels by moonlight, this Christ was the perfect wedge. Christianity is merely a system for turning priestesses into handmaidens, queens into concubines, and goddesses into muses.
A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.
Ubuntu [...] speaks of the very essence of being human. [We] say [...] "Hey, so-and-so has ubuntu." Then you are generous, you are hospitable, you are friendly and caring and compassionate. You share what you have. It is to say, "My humanity is caught up, is inextricably bound up, in yours." We belong in a bundle of life. We say, "A person is a person through other persons."[...] A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed, or treated as if they were less than who they are.
Legally, Moosbrugger's case could be summed up in-a sentence. Hewas one of those borderline cases in law and forensic medicineknown even to the layman as a case of diminished responsibility. These unfortunates typically suffer not only substandard healthbut also have a substandard disease, Nature has a peculiar prefer-ence for producing such people in droves. Natura non fecit saltus, she makes no jumps but prefers gradual transitions; even on thegrand scale she keeps the world in a transitional state between imbe-cility and sanity.

Will Marquette stay hot in this road spot or can Rutgers get the money as a home dog? Find out which way we are looking to lean with our NCAA Basketball picks in this matchup.
Eagles, Otule down Irish
Marquette shot 59.6 percent from the floor in Saturday's 72-64 victory over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, picking up its latest cashed ticket as six-point home 'chalk.' Golden Eagles forward Jamil Wilson notched a team-high 19 points, while adding four boards.
Marquette's Chris Otule had a perfect 8-for-8 day of field shooting, finishing with 16 points. The Texas native united with mate Trent Lockett for a pair of blocks each, while Lockett logged two of his side's nine steals.
The matchup's combined 136 points saw OVER backers collect, moving the wager to a 3-2 mark in the Golden Eagles' last five contests. Marquette drained 5-of-11 buckets from three-point land, while sinking 11-of-18 free throws.
Knights left behind at Georgetown
Rutgers logged its fourth straight loss with Saturday's 64-51 defeat against the Georgetown Hoyas, while holding on to collect by a 'hook' as a 13 ½-point road dog. The Scarlet Knights were held to a 37 percent night of field shooting, while being edged in rebounds, 34-23.
Knights forward Wally Judge was his squad's sole member to score double figures, logging 11 points. Rutgers' Jerome Seagears notched five of his side's 12 assists, while mate Myles Mack recorded three steals.
The battle's combined 115 points ducked below the 'total' of 121, making the UNDER 8-3 in the Scarlet Knights' last 11 games. Rutgers hit a subpar 6-of-15 free throws, while outscored in the second half, 35-23.
Back Marquette as road 'chalk'
The NCAA Basketball odds makers opened Marquette as a 6 ½-point road favorite, while listing a money line of plus 240 on Rutgers. Marquette wraps up its regular season with Saturday's road spot against St. John's, while Rutgers plays its finale in a Friday night affair at Seton Hall.
I am adding Marquette to my night of sports picks, laying the points on the road.
The Golden Eagles cashed in their last two spots as road 'chalk,' piling in blowout victories last month over Seton Hall and South Florida. Otule and Co. have held opposing foes to 40.1 percent field shooting away from home all year, giving up a stingy 61.7 PPG.
Marquette's Davante Gardner continues to be one of the Big East's best shooters (57.3 percent), combining to connect at a 9-for-10 clip in his last two games. The favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings between these foes, including last February's 82-65 triumph for the Golden Eagles as 11 ½-point home 'chalk.'
Rutgers is 0-7 ATS in their home dates since Jan. 12, dropping three of the contests by double digits. Look for the Scarlet Knights to be outmatched again here, with Marquette pulling away down the stretch.

In part 1, we took a crawl performance baseline and came to the conclusion that our feeding bottleneck was the content processing component. So, we have expanded our SharePoint farm to two servers and we have added an additional Contend Processing Component on our new server. Our search topology now looks like this:
We'll now rerun the same full crawl test we performed in part 1 and collect counters from both servers.
Our transactions waiting is still increasing, so we still see that the bottleneck is downstream of the crawler.
The Content Processing Component still looks like our bottleneck, but there is slightly less load now that is spread over two CPCs. Here is the Search Flow Statistics\Input Queue Full Time to compare against part 1.
Now, the most important metric: did we improve our crawl time? By adding this single component to our search topology, we were able to cut our time for a full crawl nearly in half. Going from 85 minutes to 45 minutes. This dramatic improvement in performance shows how valuable tuning your search infrastructure can be.
In future installments we'll take a look at what to do when other components are the bottleneck. See part 3

During a recent getaway, I learned a few things:
During a recent getaway, I learned a few things:
I learned that I am more like my dad than I realized. I love ice cream as much as he did, but I wince at the price of even a small cone and know he would not pay it. Later, after hesitating over the endless options at an ATM, I hear myself echoing Dad's battle cry: "Too many choices!" I learned that children who get to play in calm waters tend to cope better with life's rough seas. As I watched dads, moms and grandparents fish with their children, they shared experiences to cherish. One father along the marsh off Oak Island, N.C., told me that "faith, family and fishing" are his core values, and that too much political correctness is complicating everything. Upstream, a little fellow in a life jacket leaned against his daddy's legs. "We've got a fish!" the 3-year-old announces. It's actually their bait fish, but dad lets his boy dream. No correcting. I learned, or rather was reminded, that nature wins every time. Some kids learn about nature's dominance the hard way, some even losing their lives to the ocean. Although the tides ebb and flow by the moon's clockwork, it's often a surprise when water reclaims an inlet and takes away what used to be a sandy beach. Or when a rapid tide in a rainstorm hauls away a motorboat that was insufficiently tied up, as happened to my dad once. I learned how happy it can make our kids when we indulge them. The one child I saw who got to stomp in a rain puddle was such a happy little fellow that I gave his mom my own "Mother of the Week" award. As she watched him without helicoptering, we chatted about the mismatched firefighter boots and shorts he had picked out for the day.
On my vacation, I was reminded repeatedly that we parents tend to push our kids and stay too long at amusement parks and attractions. We sign them up for camps all summer, buckling them in and out of sticky car seats, when what they'd really love to do is stomp in puddles, fish in calm waters, build forts in the backyard and hide toy dinosaurs in sand piles.
On bright, sunny days, when unpleasant whininess sets in and everyone is snapping at each other, your kids are telling you they are ready to go home. That they have had enough.
It's natural. And nature always wins.

More pilot news!
Kyle Kasulis was in Los Angeles March 24 at 2:38 AM when something caught his eye. He tweeted, "Just stumbled onto the filming of the pilot episode of 'Scruples' with Chad Michael Murray." Already we can sense the glam of the era with several 1970s style limousines awaiting a bevy of beauties promenading around a boutique in the wee hours of the morning.
Recently, on his website, vocal coach and teacher Bob Garret mentioned working on the set of "Scruples." Garret says, "Happy to report that I filmed a pilot this week - a redux of the ABC Miniseries... appearing with Mimi Rogers. It was as always, very exciting to work with the amazing Michael Suczy, who I worked with on 'Grey Gardens' and 'The Vow'."
Take a look at Claire Forlani in costume as Billy in Scruples!

Debutante director Sunaina Bhatnagar opens up in an exclusive interview with Koimoi about Manisha Koirala's comeback to Bollywood with her film, her personal connect with Dear Maya's story, Imtiaz Ali and more…
Why Dear Maya?
It's a story that touches your heart. There are many things in the film that I personally believe. I wanted to share that. For me, Dear Maya is a personal story of growing up and facing life.
Did something happen in the film which you have experienced in your life?
I think the girls, who are best friends in the film; a lot of those moments between them are like me and my sister. That comes from our growing up together and the kind of experiences that we've had. Since I have written the film also, it naturally came to me while writing the script.
A little bit of the story?
The film deals with two young girls who play a prank on this lady, Maya Devi who lives next door. Maya Devi is having her own journey and these two young girls who are inexperienced teenagers. What happens to them and how they deal with it is the crux of the story.
Trending :
What is Maya Devi's age?
She is around 45-46. She is not that old.
But she looks older in the trailer…
Yes, that's because she has not taken care of herself. She doesn't look after herself. So she looks very neglected. If you don't take care of yourself, you tend to look older, your hair becomes rough, your skin becomes dry and there are patches and all that. So she looks older but she is not. When we were conceptualizing the film, I wanted her to look around 50. But her actual age is around 45. She looks 5-6 years older than what she is.
What is the genre of this film?
I would say drama but I would also like to say it's a coming of age or slice of life film. It's not very easy to slip this film into a slot. Perhaps somebody might find it to be a drama but for me, it's a coming of age story. You have to watch it first and then decide.
Why did you choose to do a film on this kind of a story?
You get excited by certain stories because you feel like it says something very important. For you it is important. I have written a couple of more stories before Dear Maya but this one I could connect with and decided this is the story I should tell people. I felt very passionately and strongly about this story. That's why it became my first film.
Why did you cast Manisha Koirala in this role?
She is so talented, she is so beautiful and she has done everything. She has done offbeat as well as commercial films. I needed somebody who can pull off this character and yet you like her. Unfortunately, some actresses do this kind of role a lot and they get typecast. For Manisha to do this is a little surprising because she has done diverse roles. She is the girl from 1942: A Love Story, she is also the girl from Khamoshi, she has never been typecast. She can be anybody. That's a very rare thing for an actor. She can turn hot if you ask her to, and can easily become the neglected Maya Devi the next moment and you will believe both! That's the beauty of Manisha Koirala.
Who are the other actors?
I have taken two new girls Madiha Imam and Shreya Singh Chaudhary. This is their first film. Both of them are very talented. When you see the film, you will be happy and surprised. They worked really hard. There was a lot of good energy on the set because so many of people were working on their first film including me, these two girls and my camera person. Apart from the girls, there is also Iravati Harshe, who is coming back to Hindi films after a long time. Also, there is model turned actor Sahil Shroff.
Manisha Koirala is making a comeback to Bollywood with your film. How do you feel?
I feel very privileged. It's an honour of course as well as a big responsibility. When you have good actors like Manisha working with you, you are forced to be better than you are because you have to match up to that talent. I've tried my best to make a film which everyone feels proud of including Manisha.
What did you do before this?
This is my first film as a director. Before this, I have worked as an assistant director with Imtiaz Ali. I assisted him for 6 years almost including films like Jab We Met, Love Aaj Kal, Rockstar and a few commercials. Rockstar was my last film with him.
With your debut film releasing in a few days…how are you feeling?
I am both nervous and excited. I still can't believe that it's coming out, releasing and all that because it has been a long journey to get here. So I am pinching myself every now and then that it is finally happening. I am not so nervous about the audience's reaction, I am just nervous that it is going to release! It feels great when people comment after watching the film…that gives a real high!

Eugene, Ore. – The U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches' Association (USTFCCCA) announced the regional awards for the 2014 outdoor season on Monday. Redshirt senior Nick Ross was named the 2014 Men's West Region Field Athlete of the Year.
It is the second-straight year (redshirted 2013) that Ross has received the honor. Also, Ross earned the same honor during the 2014 indoor season. Ross has competed in seven high jump competitions this outdoor season, has earned a first-place finish in each of those seven. Four times this year, Ross has cleared 7-4 or better. Ross' clearance of 7-6.5 (2.30m) is the top clearance in the country this year and also broke the school record set in 1980 by James Frazier. At the 2014 Pac-12 Championships, Ross earned all-conference honors in the high jump, long jump and triple jump. It is the second-straight year that he has accomplished that feat. Ross won the high jump title, the third of his career at the conference championships. Ross and Dick Fosbury are the only two men in conference history to win three titles in the men's high jump.
Ross will compete in the high jump on Friday at 3:20 p.m. MST at the NCAA Championships.
