Happy Leap Year - 2008

Leap years are years with 366 days, instead of the usual 365. Leap years are necessary because the actual length of a year is 365.242 days, not 365 days, as commonly stated. Basically, leap years occur every 4 years, and years that are evenly divisible by 4 (2004, for example) have 366 days. This extra day is added to the calendar on February 29th. However, there is one exception to the leap year rule involving century years, like the year 1900. Since the year is slightly less than 365.25 days long, adding an extra day every 4 years results in about 3 extra days being added over a period of 400 years. For this reason, only 1 out of every 4 century years is considered as a leap year. Century years are only considered as leap years if they are evenly divisible by 400. Therefore, 1700, 1800, 1900 were not leap years, and 2100 will not be a leap year. But 1600 and 2000 were leap years, because those year numbers are evenly divisible by 400.

Who to accept as our guru?

According to the Vedanta-sutra it is the duty of everyone who has attained a human birth to inquire about the absolute truth. And if we are intelligent enough to rise beyond the animal platform by such inquiry, we are further advised that we should not speculate that we must instead approach a guru. We are advised thus because the absolute truth can only be revealed to us by someone who has already realized it himself.

But who to accept as our guru? This can be really confusing because nowadays there are so many persons being touted as gurus. So how do we know which one to accept? Obviously we have to approach that person who has genuinely realized the absolute truth, not someone who is pretending that he has realized the absolute truth. But since we are not yet realized in the absolute truth how will we be able to discriminate because he who has actually realized the absolute truth and someone who is dishonestly claiming he has realized the absolute truth? To be able to make this discrimination we must carefully study the Bhagavad-gita as it is, because it is in the Bhagavad-gita that Krishna gives us everything we need to know to be able to recognize the bona fide spiritual master and to know what we do when we are so fortunate as to come into contact with a bona fide spiritual master.

If upon finding the bona fide spiritual master, we take complete shelter of him, all of our life's problems will be solved, and at the time of our passing out of this body we will enter into the eternal pastimes of Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Why Does Human Society Kill Cows?

Please accept my humble obeisances.

My name is Shane Burnham, I attend the temple in Vancouver, Canada. I am a friend of your disciple, Raghunatha Das. Please excuse any ignorance I may exhibit in my question. I'm still new in respect to being Krishna Conscious.

Krishna says to protect the cows. Now, obviously we haven't. That is evident in the display of slaughterhouses all over the world. I wonder if Krishna told us to protect them because He knew that slaughterhouses for cows were a possibility. If we as a society, as the human race, can murder such a peaceful animal such as the cow, what does that say about us? What does it say that we let that happen? The cow is the most peaceful of animals. The fact that we let cows or any other animal be lined up and slaughtered like we do says that we as a race, as a species have failed. That is probably why Krishna told us to protect them. If we did protect them, then there would be no slaughterhouses of any animals. Slaughtering peaceful animals such as cows, who give us milk shows that we are a fallen species...below cows, below pigs even.

Thank you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: Because We Have Become Lower Than Animals

It is a fact that Krishna is a perfect knower of past, present, and future. Therefore when He describes the duty of cow protection in the Bhagavad-gita we can understand that He knew how much the cows would be tormented and tortured in this horrendous age of Kali. The way we treat cows shows that we as a human society have degraded ourselves to the most abominable and despicable state of being. You have rightfully concluded that we are now a fallen species lower than the animals.

I will be returning to Vancouver as soon as another opportunity arises for me to come there. I hope to meet with you at that time.

What I would give to see this?

You have got to read.

The Year is : 2030

Currency Conversion Rate : INR 1 Rs = USD $ 100

Place : IBM , USA (Two AMERICANS Talking)


Alex: Hi John, you didn't come yesterday to office?

John: Yeah, I was in Indian Embassy for stamping.

Alex: Oh really, what happened, I heard that nowadays it has become very strict.

John: Yeah, but I managed to get it.

Alex: How long it took to get it stamped?

John: Oh, it was nasty man, long queue. Bill Gates was standing in front of me and they played with him like anything. That's why it got delayed.I went there at 2 AM itself and waited and returned by 4 PM.

Alex: Really? In India , it is a matter of an hour to get stamped for
USA

John: Y eah, but that is because who in India will be interested in coming to USA man, their economy has been booming.

Alex: So, when are you leaving?

John: Anytime, after receiving my tickets from the client in India and you know, I will be getting a chance to fly Air-India. Sort of dream come true.

Alex: How long are you going to stay in India .

John: What do you mean by how long? I will be settled in India , my company has promised me that they will process my Hara Patta ..(green card)

Alex: Really, lucky person man, it is very difficult to get a Hara Patta in India .

John: Yeah, that's why, I am planning to marry an Indian girl there.

Alex: But you can find lots of US girls in Hyderabad , Bangalore , Chennai and Mumbai.

John: But, I prefer Indian girls because they are beautiful and cultured.

Alex: Where did you get the offer, Bangalore ?

John: Yeah, salary is good there, but cost of living is quite high, it is Rs. 2000/- for a single room accommodation.

Alex: I see, that's too much for US people, Rs.1/- =$100/-. Oh God! what about in Chennai, Hyderabad , Mumbai?

John: No idea, but it is less than what we have in Bangalore . It is like the world headquarters of software

Alex: I heard, almost all the Indians are having one personal Robot for help.

John: You can get a BMW car for Rs. 5000/-, and a personal Robot for less than Rs.7500/-. But my dream is to purchase Ambassador, which costs Rs.2,00,000/ - but has got a lovely design.

Alex: By the way, who is your client?

John: Subbarao and Appasamy Associates, a pure Indian company, specialising in Embedded Software.

Alex: Oh, really, lucky to work in a pure Indian company. They are really intelligent and unlike American Bodyshoppers who have opened their Fly-by-night outfits in India . Indian companies pay you in full Even when you are on bench.

My friend Paul Allen, it seems, used his bench time to visit Bihar, the most liveable place in India , probably world. There you have full freedom and no restrictions. You can do whatever you want! I wonder how that state has perfected that system.

John: Yeah man!, you are right. I hope our America also follows their footsteps.

Alex: How are you going to cope with their language?

John: Why not? From my school days I have been learning Hindi as my first language here at New York . At the Consulate they tested my proficiency in Hindi and were quite impressed by my cent per cent score in TOHIL i.e., Test of Hindi as International Language.

Alex: So, you are going to have fun there.

John: Yeah, I will be travelling in the world's fastest train, world's largest theme park, and the famous Bollywood where you can see actors like, Hrithik, Shah Rukh Khan and all. Esselworld is also near Bollywood.

Alex: You know, the PM is scheduled to visit US next year, he may then relax the number of visas.

John: That's true. Last month, Narayana Murthy visited White House and donated Rs. 2000/- for infrastructure development at SiliconValley and has promised more if we follow the model of High-Tech City of Bangalore. Bill Gates also got a chance of meeting him. Very lucky person.

Alex: But, Indian government is planning to split Infosys

John: He is a hard worker man, he can build any number of Infosys like this. Every minute he is getting Rs. 1000/-. It seems, if you keep all his money converted as Rs. 100/- notes you can reach Pluto.

Alex: OK, Good Luck John.

John: Same to you Alex. And don't go to Consulate in a "Kurta Pyjama" because they will think you are too Indianised and may doubt you will never come back and hence your Non-Immigrant Visa may get rejected. But don't forget to say " Namaste, aap kaise hai " to the Visa officer at Window 5. It seems he likes that and will not give you a visa if you don't greet him that way.

Pretty Clever

Read out loud the text inside the triangle below.



More than likely you said, "A bird in the bush," and........
if this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see
that the word THE is repeated twice!
Sorry, look again.

Next, let's play with some words.
What do you see?



In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word
EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter). It's all very
physiological too, because it visualize the concept that
good can't exist without evil (or the absence of good is evil ).


Now, what do you see?



You may not see it at first, but the white spaces read the
word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion.
Look again! Can you see why this painting is called an
optical illusion?

What do you see here?



This one is quite tricky!
The word TEACH reflects as LEARN.


Last one.
What do you see?



You probably read the word ME in brown, but.......
when you look through ME
you will see
YOU!

Do you need to look again?

Test Your Brain

Dear God,

I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it tastes and how full I may be. I pray that He will protect this little boy, guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests.

I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we are and that we must never ever take things for granted.

Think & look at this...when you complain about your food and the food we waste daily.......
