[www.keralites.net] Story: My Son Came to Me in Kitchen

 


 

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
"Oh excuse me please" was my reply.
He said, "Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you."
We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told,

How we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
"Move out of the way," I said with a frown.

He walked away, his little heart broken.

I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed,

  My conscience small voice came to me and said,
"While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.

Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.
Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."
By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
"Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.
"Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.
I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."
I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."
He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway."
I said, "Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."

---------------------------------------------------
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.

But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?

 
Behavioral Contractions !!!

[www.keralites.net] Money , Experience & Happiness

 



 
 
My dear readers, Experience has shown that:
 
You will never know what the total cost of your education was, but for a lifetime you will recall and relive the memories of schools and colleges. Few years from now, you will forget the amount you paid to settle the hospitalization bill, but will ever cherish having saved your mother's life or the life you get to live with the just born. You won't remember the cost of your honeymoon, but to the last breath remember the experiences of the bliss of togetherness. Money has no memory. Experience has. No denying that anything that's material cost money, but the fact remains the cost of the experience will be forgotten, but the experience never.
 
So, what if it's economic recession?
Let it be, but let there not be a recession to the quality of your life. . You can still play with your children, if not on an international holiday, at least in the local park. It doesn't cost money to lie down or to take a loved one onto your lap.
 
Nice time to train the employees, create leadership availability and be ready for the wonderful times when they arrive. Hey! Aspects like your health, knowledge development and spiritual growth are not economy dependent.
 
Time will pass…economy will revive… currency will soon be in current…and in all this, I don't want you to look back and realize you did nothing but stayed in gloom.
 
Recession can make you lose out on money. Let it not make you lose out on experiences…

If you are not happy with what you have, no matter how much more you have, you will still not be happy.
 
Make a statement with the way you live your life: How I feel has nothing to do with how much I have.

[www.keralites.net] Hare Krsna Medical Study Confirms Vedic Viewpoint - Life Exists After Death [7 Attachments]

Medical Study Confirms Vedic Viewpoint - Life Exists After Death

 

Photo Credits: www.ascensionearth2012.org

World's largest medical study on Near Death Experience (NDE) and Out of Body Experience (OBE) carried out by the scientists of University of Southampton discovered that "Life Exists After Death".  2060 cardiac patients were closely examined during the experiment for 4 years before the scientists published their research in journal Resuscitation.
In one of the cases, one 57 year old man who was clinically dead for 3 minutes - his heart had stopped beating and the brain was shut down - later after coming back to life was able to recall in minute details the activities of the nursing staffs and the doctors during those 3 minute period who were treating him. He said that he was observing his resuscitation from a corner of the room. Now this is not just interesting but it proves that life continues even after the body perishes.
The man's brain had stopped functioning, his eyes were closed and he had no consciousness in his body. Then who was the "conscious being" who was observing everything from the corner of the room? That "conscious being" was able to see, hear (he clearly heard the bleeps from a machine that makes noise at three – minute intervals) and was able to store all the observed information. Here we see that the locus of the consciousness had also shifted. He did not perceive things from the bed but instead he was observing everything from the room's corner, in fact he was observing his own body.  And the person was not hallucinating else he would have not been able to provide accurate information.
The Vedic literatures explain that "conscious being" is atma (soul) which has an independent existence. As long as the soul remains in control of the physical body the body functions and the moment the soul's connection with the body ceases the body becomes lifeless. As per the karmic quota a soul is bound to a physical body, when the quota is exhausted the soul leaves for a different destination.
In the case of this man, the soul was temporarily displaced from the physical body but since the karmic quota wasn't exhausted so soul remained emotionally connected and finally returned back into the body bringing back life into the clinically dead body.  This was not one of the cases; the team of researchers found that of the 2060 cardiac patients who were examined, 330 survived and 140 of them spoke about some sort of awareness when they were medically dead and being resuscitated. 
For the students of Vedic literatures and spiritualists in general, this scientific revelation isn't surprising. Vedic books contain many logical explanations, with examples, about the relationship between the soul and the physical body.
For e.g. Srimad Bhagavatam narrates the story of King Citraketu whose little son came back to life after being dead. The king was inconsolable upon seeing his dead son, so sage Narada, just to educate the king about the ephemeral nature of physical body, temporarily brought the child's soul into the lifeless body. The moment the soul entered, the dead body began exhibiting all the symptoms of life. And the soul through the body of the boy spoke to the king. To king's disbelief the boy said that he is not his only father, he had had many fathers and mothers in the past because since time immemorial he has been occupying different bodies including that of humans, animals, aquatics, plants.
This new scientific research complements Vedic understanding.   The scientists who are trying to uncover the mysteries of life through experimentation can also refer Vedic literatures to understand the science of soul and how soul animates the body. The soul's existence is not physical but is metaphysical. In Gita 2.20 Krishna asseverates that soul is eternal and in no circumstances can die. Krishna further explains in Gita 2.22, "As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless one."
Dr Jerry Nolan, Editor-in-Chief at Resuscitation said: "Dr Parnia (who led the experiment) and his colleagues are to be congratulated on the completion of a fascinating study that will open the door to more extensive research into what happens when we die."
If we think scientifically and honestly and without any prejudice then we can understand our life, this world and most importantly our relationship with God.
If we study our life and this world scientifically, honestly and without any prejudice then we can understand who we are and what is our relationship with God.
As acclaimed scientist Louis Pasteur, Founder of Microbiology, says, "Little science takes you away from God but more of it takes you to Him."
