The 'L I T T L E' things .

As you might know, the head of a company survived
9/11 because his son started kindergarten.
Another fellow was alive because it was
his turn to bring donuts.
One woman was late because her
alarm clock didn't go off in time
One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
because of an auto accident.
One of them
missed his bus.
One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
time to change.
One's
car wouldn't start.
One went back to
answer the telephone .
One had a
child that dawdled
and didn't get ready as soon as he should have.
One couldn't
get a taxi.
The one that struck me was the man
who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,
took the various means to get to work
but before he got there, he developed
a blister on his foot.
He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.
That is why he is alive today.

Now when I am
stuck in traffic,
miss an elevator,
turn back to answer a ringing telephone ...
all the little things that annoy me.
I think to myself, this is exactly where I am supposed to be at this very moment..

Next time your morning seems to be
going wrong,
the children are slow getting dressed,
you can't seem to find the car keys,
you hit every traffic light,
don't get mad or frustrated;
Someone is at work watching over you.

May you continue to be blessed
with all those annoying little things
and may you remember their possible purpose.

Pass this on to someone else, if you'd like.
There is NO LUCK attached.
If you delete this, it's okay:
Love and good luck is Not Dependent On E-Mails !!

(that's the cool part)

The Difference Between Dharma and Karma

- July 08, 2010

In the west, it's common to confuse the terms Dharma with Karma, but they have different meanings. Learning these concepts is the key to understand the eastern thinking. If the universe is intelligent and hierarchically organized, would it be possible for humans to unveil the cosmic rules that control the many facets of human existence? Almost three-thousand years ago (some would even say five-thousand years ago), the verses of The Mahabharata , the longest epic poem ever written, brought revelations about the universal laws, life, death, pain and enlightenment. There are many interpretations of the verses but many traditions and religions share the same terms The key to dig into the beauty of the teachings of ancient India, is to understand two main concepts: dharma and karma. What is Dharma? The dharma is the law that governs the universe and that affects everything in collective and individual levels in order to lead every living being to perfection. It can be understood as

Lord Shiva Unplugged

- August 02, 2012

Of all the Hindu Gods none appealed to the emotions of a Hindu mind as much as Lord Shiva, the dweller of the mountains and the bearer of the trident, who with His third eye symbolizes the all knowing awareness of the very Brahman. Although universally acknowledged as one of the trinity gods of Hinduism, to His followers, He is Maheswara, representing the Trinity all by Himself, His different aspects manifesting themselves as the creator, preserver and destroyer of the worlds He creates. Symbolically He is worshiped as Lingeswara, which name stands more for His creative prowess than sexual. Historians believe that He was a pre-Vedic god who was admitted into the Vedic Pantheon because of His immense popularity among many non-Aryan tribes. There is a theory that the seated yogi found on the seals of Indus Valley Civilization, was a prototype of Lord Shiva only. References to Him are found in the Rigveda. In the Mahabharata we come across several references to Him. Both
