Videos to Watch-4: Ancient Technique That Could Stimulate Your Superhuman Powers And Boost Your Health
Ancient
Technique That Could Stimulate Your Superhuman Powers And Boost Your Health
This
ancient technique does wonders for the human body, and it is not a myth.
Looking
directly into the Sun, or Sungazing was a very common part of many religious
and spiritual practices in the past.
Many
past societies, among which the ancient Egyptians, Mayans, Indians believed in
the power of the Sun. They strongly believed that the Sun and health are
interrelated and that the Sun has the ability to heal many diseases, to fill
you with energy and make your hunger disappear. They even believed that it enables
people to develop telepathic abilities.
This
sounds like extreme science fiction, but the most spiritually advanced actually
possess these abilities as they practiced them.
As
already mentioned, this is a practice that involves looking at the sun at sunrise
or sunset. At first sungazers look directly at the sun for 10 seconds, and
every day, 10 seconds are added in this practice.
Sungazers
are supposed to stand barefoot on the earth during this practice and although
many consider it a myth, it have been acknowledged and recommended as
beneficial practice by the scientists.

In Lighter Vein-4: de Gaulle Joke
Charles de Gaulle was known for his regal bearing and fastidious nature, so much so that his imperiousness became a kind of running joke for the citizens of France.
A popular gag imagined de Gaulle’s wife, Yvonne, returning from shopping and exclaiming, “God, I am tired.”
Her husband is purported to have replied, “I have often told you, my dear, it was sufficient in private if you addressed me as ‘Monsieur le President.’”

MUMBAI: When Nerul teenager
Rani's (name changed) `sore eyes' didn't heal for over 15 days, little did her
parents imagine that multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) could be the
cause. Rani didn't have any of the symptoms associated with TB--coughing,
breathlessness or loss of weight--except for some dark red lesions in both her
eyes, said her parents.
...
...
TB has re-emerged as one of
the biggest public health challenges in India, claiming 3 lakh lives every year
or one life every two minutes. Mumbai is referred to as the epicentre of the
deadly drug-resistant TB in which patients show resistance to two or more known
anti-TB drugs; treatment involves newer antibiotics that are expensive.

Videos to Watch-3: A Wise Lesson In Empathy
A Wise Lesson In Empathy
A wise lesson in Empathy: With billions of us humans on earth it's incredible to see how we are all connected and similar in many ways. At the same time we are all individuals with our own opinions, thoughts and values. At times, we can feel so strongly about something that it could blind us from seeing the bigger picture or taking into account that there's more than one way to approach the situation. Perhaps if we took a moment to step into the other person's shoes we will see where that person is coming from and by doing so it will make all the difference.

Sometime in 2019 or 2020 India
will send ISRO’s solar mission Aditya-L1 to a vantage point in space, known as
the L1 Lagrange point, to do imaging and study of the sun. This launch will
happen in the early part of the next solar cycle - an occurrence in which
sunspots form on the face of the sun, growing in size and number and eventually
diminishing, all over a period of eleven years. It will be a mission of many
firsts.

Self-Improvement-164: The best things in life...
The best things in life are free:
Hugs, Smiles, Friends, Family, Love,
Laughter, and good memories
Nothing in nature lives for itself.
Rivers don’t drink their own water.
Trees don’t eat their own fruit.
The Sun doesn’t shine for itself.
A flower’s fragrance is not for
itself.
Living for each other s the rule of
nature.
An arrow can only be shot by pulling
it backward.
So when life is dragging you back
with difficulties,
It means that it is going to launch
you into something
great. So just focus and keep aiming

A Thought for Today-693: You love rain...
You
say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it.
You
say you love sun, but you seek shelter when it is shining.
You
way you love wind, but when it comes you close your windows.
So
that is why I am scared when you say you love me – Bob Marley

Anecdotes-3: A DREAM OF DEATH
A
DREAM OF DEATH
"I do not know if the sacrifice of Mr. Ganesh
Shankar Vidyarthi has gone in vain. His spirit always inspired me. I envy his
sacrifice. Is it not shocking that this country hasnot produced another Ganesh
Shankar? None after him came to fill the gap. Ganesh Shankar's Ahimsa was
perfect Ahimsa. My Ahimsa will also be perfect if I could die similarly
peacefully with axe blows on my head. I have always been dreaming of such a
death, and I wish to treasure this dream. How noble that death will be,—a
daggar attack on me from one side; an axe blow from another; a lathi wound
administered from yet another direction and kicks and abuses from all sides and
if in the midst of these I could rise to the occasion and remain non-violent
and peaceful and could ask others to act and behave likewise, and finally I
could die with cheer on my face and smile on my lips, then and then alone my
Ahimsa will be perfect and true. I am hankering after such an opportunity and also wish Congressmen to remain in search
of such an opportunity."
— Message sent by Mahatma Gandhi on the occasion of
the celebration of the anniversary of the martyrdom of Shri Ganesh Shankar
Vidyarthi,
