Geeta Sar

                  

On the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Lord Krishna gave an inspiring message to Arjuna, which became known as Bhagvad Gita, Bhagawat Geeta or Srimad Bhagavad Gita - the song celestial. The 700 verses rendered by Lord Krishna are considered as quintessence of Hinduism and reflects the wisdom of Upanishads. Bhagavad Gita is part of epic Mahabharata and is contained in Bhishma Parva, chapter 23-40.

The message of Gita was not delivered on banks of Ganges, nor inside caves, monasteries or at the outset of any hermit's dwelling place but was conferred on the battlefield filled with belligerent armies, awaiting fierce encounter. When Arjuna saw revered teachers, beloved friends and close relatives on his enemy side, he was overtaken by grief and despair. As a result he chose to lay down his arms and sought counsel from his charioteer and friend, Krishna. In his unique and mesmerizing style, Krishna answered Arjun's array of questions covering sin, slander and siblings to death, duty, desire, duality and divinity. Arjuna was convinced that death on the battlefield was that merely of physical frame and not of the inner immortal soul. The conversation between Krishna and Arjuna threw light on many important aspects of Hinduism such as life and death, karma, devotion, jnana, yoga, 

#Bhagavad Gita is the most unusual and the one of the most important scriptures. Its is the divine voice of the God. One can be spiritually benefited by mediating and contemplating on the Gita. One's all doubts are removed and by following it, one can attain Him. This Celestial Song was sung by Lord Krishna.

Geeta Sar

• Whatever happened, it happened for good.
• Whatever is happening, is happening for good.
• Whatever that will happen, it will be for good.
• What have you lost for which you cry?
• What did you bring with you, which you have lost?
• What did you produce, which has destroyed?
• You did not bring anything when you were born.
• Whatever you have, you have received from Him.
• Whatever you will give, you will give to Him.
• You came empty handed and
• you will go the same way.
• Whatever is yours today was somebody else’s yesterday and will be somebody else’s tomorrow.

Change is the law of the universe.

As long as you believe that you are the do-er, you will also bear the results of consequences. When you realise the supertruth that HE is doer (you are only an instrument). If you can learn- "every thought and action that you have or do belongs to HIM" you will be set free from shackles of this cycle. This is the essence of Karma yoga.In addition Krishna said have Prasad Buddhi, That is Karma yoga.

Result in also as per the laws of nature and not as per our expectations. Capacity to accept the result of your actions as the grace of God is the secret of success and key to avoid stress in life. Do not have the attachment to the results -maintain the attitude to work with sincerely and accept the result as in accordance with the wish of God.

You sow a seed of Neem tree and years later, you forget and you expect mangos from this tree. Natures laws never go wrong, you reap only what you sow

RAMA SETU:-Adam's Bridge, known in India asRama's Bridge or Rama Setu, is a chain of limestone shoals, between the islands of Mannar, near northwestern Sri Lanka, and Rameswaram, off the southeastern coast of India.The bridge is 30 miles (48 km) long and separates the Gulf of Mannar (southwest) from the Palk Strait (northeast). Some of the sandbanks are dry and the sea in the area is very shallow, being only 3 ft to 30 ft (1 m to 10 m) deep in places, which hinders navigation.The name, Rama's Bridge or Rama Setu (Sanskrit; setu: bridge) for the shoal of islands derives from the Sanskrit epic Ramayana, in which a bridge from Rameswaram was built by allies of Rama that he used to reach Lanka, and rescue his abducted wife Sita from the asura king, Ravana. The sea separating India and Sri Lanka is called Sethusamudram, based on the same episode.

What is Setu Samudram Project?

Setu Samudram shipping canal project (SSCP) is a project that has been approved by the Government of India and its work has been started near Kodand Ram Temple. In this project, Palk Gulf and Gulf Mennar will be linked by making a shipping canal through Rameshwaram Island. This will allow ships and boats to navigate in the passage between India and Sri Lanka without having to circle Sri Lanka (as is being done currently). This may save about 400 nautical miles voyage on the West Coast. This project will connect the National Sea Route. This canal will shorten the length of the sea route for ships. Rs. 21 crore per year for fuel expenditure of ships will be saved.

Danger to Ram Setu

Ram Setu Picture by NASAPictures taken by NASA [National Aeronautics & Space Administration], USA from space show the remains of what appears to be an ages old man-made bridge between Rameshwaram and Sri Lanka. According to Hindu scriptures and belief, Lord Ram and his vaanar sena had built a bridge from Rameshwaram to Sri Lanka about 17 lacs 25 thousands years ago. The discovery of Shri Ram Setu by NASA confirms that Hindu scriptures and belief are correct in this matter and that Ramayana is 'history' and not "mythology" as is often construed.

 

Setu Samudram [shipping canal project] is based on the notion that it is inevitable to break the Shri Ram Setu for easy navigation. This will amount to damaging a monument of both, historical and religious importance to Hindus.

 

Why Ram Setu should not be damaged :

Ram Setu prevented the tsunami from advancing from Rameshwaram to Kerala.

Spiritual Significanc

• This is a divine bridge.
• Lord Rama and his vaanar sena had built it 17 lacs 25 thousands years ago.
• In Puranas, the importance of Setu is explained in great details, especially in Skanda Purana, Vishnu Purana, Agni Purana, and Brahma Purana.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Physical Significance

  • Ram Setu a natural barrier to Tsunami: During the last tsunami, the Ramar Bridge (at a high elevation) from the rest of the shoal accumulations acted as a natural barrier preventing the direct devastation of the entire Bharatam coastline south and southwest of Nagapattanam. - Dr. Murthy, Chief editor of the reputed International Tsunami Journal "Science of Tsunami Hazards"
  • Threat of Tsunami: Many geologists, earth scientists, and oceanographers have commented critically, against the disastrous consequences of constructing SSCP. Amongst these is the impending devastation of Kerala, which will suck in after implementation of SSCP, after next Tsunami hits it. 
  • Many Naval officials are saying that even after the completion of SSCP, the depth of the canal shall be only 12 meters (about 36 feet ), and only small and medium sized vessels shall be able to pass. Large sized vessels and carriers shall not be able to pass.

  Social Significance 

  • The construction of SSCP is trampling upon the feelings and emotions of millions and millions of Hindus.
  • Besides, this bridge is world's oldest man-made structure. It is much much older than the pyramids of Egypt, and the Great Wall of China.
  • Ram Setu has sentimental, religious and historic value.
  • People have crossed the sea using the Rama-Setu, for many thousand years, until the 15th century.
    
    
    
    
    Better alternative solutions are also available !

    
    According to the specialists, a sea route may be prepared for navigation without damaging Sri Ram Setu, by removing the barren sand heaps near village Mandapam between Rameshwaram and Dhanushkoti railway. This will not only give a shorter route for navigation but also protect the oldest man-made heritage .

     

    Other Noticeable Events 

    An attempt to offend Hindus

    The drill, which is being used to demolish the bridge, is named 'Jai Hanuman'! Thus, as declared by the hermitage, this is a direct attempt to humiliate Hindus. Two such machines taken there have broken down. The government should take a lesson or two from this, says the hermitage.

     

    The issue concerns us all, and should be taken up as Indians, without getting entangled in party lines and political games. The Ram Setu or Adam's Bridge belongs to all humanity, being an important heritage site; hence the government should not allow it to become another issue affecting Hindu sensitivities. Nobody is opposing the Sethu Samudram Project, only a realignment of the route is being asked, as the present one destroys the Ram Setu.

The championship has been contested once in every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 due to World War II.

A group of visionary French football administrators, led in the 1920s by the innovative Jules Rimet, are credited with the original idea of bringing the world's strongest national football teams together to compete for the title of World Champions. The original gold trophy was in the name of Jules Rimet's . From 1930 to 1970, the Jules Rimet Trophy was awarded to the Cup winner. It is more of an ongoing event as the qualifying rounds of the competition take place over the three years preceding the final rounds.

Year wise hosts of world cup
• Uruguay 1930
• Italy 1934
• France 1938
• Brazil 1950
• Switzerland 1954
• Sweden 1958
• Chile 1962

• South Africa 2010

Since 1930, the 16 tournaments have seen only seven different winners.

After 1970, a new trophy, known as the FIFA World Cup Trophy, was designed.
