************************************
I enjoy receiving ur newsletter. I wonder if any of you reads the LEISA magazine and
what you all do in daily life.

Enough wonderings and questions time for a statement as a reaction to ur breaking
news.
Until 10 years ago science had discovered only 4 forces ruling this Universe namely;
1) the weak nuclear force 2)the strong nuclear force 3) electromagnetic force and 4)
gravity.

Gravity is the weakest at short distances but it seemed to rule on the long distance even
capable of letting the spacetime continuum collapse near the event horizon of
blackholes.

Big bang theory models always assumed that gravity was slowing down the explosive
start of this Universe about 14 billion years ago. So for decades scientist tried to figure
out how much mass there was in the Universe attrackting each other. With more then
the critical mass the Universe would indeed collapse back into itself into one massive
blackhole. With less then the critical mass the Universe would keep on expanding for
ever, but this expansion would go slower under the influence of gravity.

But now this way of thinking has been disturbed by the apparent discovery of a 5th force
that seems to be responsible for accelarating the expansionrate of the Universe.
Nobody seems to know much abouth this new force... Anyway it seems that this
Universe wont die as a blackhole. Gravity isnt the ultimate force....

So far with the wonderings of science.

There is also a theory that states that this Universe is zo bizarre that as soon as anyone
in it has figured out what it is it changes into a completely new and more bizarre
Universe. Some people believe that in fact that already happened :)

Thank you Sundar Sir for the email. Namaste to all of you.

I am delighted to receive SA54,55 and 56. I very much appreciate the words of wisdom expressed in them. These are good thoughts for mind and one can achieve better life by putting them into action. It is one thing to learn good values of life but quite different to experience them through action. It is here that most of us falter. So why not keep on trying.

4. View/s:

If you are poor, you should be more laborious and honest.

Give your world, but do not give your words if you are not sure to fulfill them.

5. Shree Sadhak Satyam (SSS):

Whenever the situation needs our love, we have to show it. And we have to show our actions, speech and thoughts always in loving kindness. That's the best for our spiritual growth and best for our fellow beings.

When you observe any goodness in yourself, develop it. When you observe any bad points in yourself, rectify them. Look at the positive aspects. It is not enough to just rely on meditation alone.

To cheerful people, everything is funny and all food is delicious. Originally, a joyful heart is a fruit of practice.

Hari Om

6. Quote/s:  

"There is a hole in the moral ozone and it's getting bigger."

7. Joke/s:

"What is justice?" A friend asked to me.

I said, "Justice can be defined as the actions done by a powerful man/woman or country."

There would not be another good definition of Justice besides it. ha ha ha…

8. Breaking News:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Eight months after the fall of his government, Saddam Hussein was captured by coalition forces near his hometown of Tikrit, where he was hiding in a farmhouse cellar, U.S. officials said Sunday. The arrest was a major victory for the coalition that has been battling an insurgency for months.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him," U.S. administrator L. Paul Bremer said at a news conference in Baghdad, adding:

"The tyrant is a prisoner."

Almost all Human Right Organisations had released press statements and requested the government to release him immediately and unconditionally.

9. Recall/s:

Dream: December 18, 2003

A group of people and friends are coming from somewhere.  I recall it was our Besi near Kyangdi Khola.  Some friend went to Chainpur trail and two other friends were coming behind me.  I was leading the way to Shahithok trail.  The trail I was leading was very difficult and dangerous.  If I could not manage my steps I may fall to the stream (Khola) one km straight down.  The trail was in between Jungle and some Bari land on western aspect of the trail at upper sides. 

While I was climbing the trail to my village at top of hill, at a point I could not step up.  I saw two friends were very far behind me, still on the plain, near the stream below.  If I felt down I have no chance to survive and could drown to the stream.  I hold a stem of a tree Schima wallichaii very strongly.  In the mean time I saw upward immediately.  I saw a beautiful woman looking at to me.  She step down towards me and hold my hand and pull me up.

Then I went with her to a hut.  It was her home.  She prepared a nice tea and Roti to feed me.  We talked very nicely.  She was recently married widow and missed her husband recently in the insurgency of the country.  She was sad, but changed her face color orange while talking with me.  She told me that my appearance is like her husband.  When she saw me on the trail climbing she was watching to me.  If I was not like her beloved husband recently passed away or missed she would not pulled me up.  She told me all about this during our talk in her home. I don't know what is in her mind, but I felt that she liked me very much.  I also liked to hold her very tightly, but the mean time my friends, who were behind me called "Shyam, lets go".

I still remember her tasty Roti and tea, beautiful appearance and nice talk between us.

It was all happened in the dream.

10. Note/s:

As far as psychologists can tell, the human brain has a limitless capacity for holding information. This means that our brains will never "fill up." New information may, however, interfere with information learned in the past, making the older information more difficult to remember.

12. Quiz/es:

How many mammals lay eggs?

Well, we knew one at least -- we remember learning in school about that odd creature called the platypus (no, it's not a "platymapus"). But we set out to see if there were any more. As it turns out, there are two other egg-laying mammals: the short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus bruijnii).

Also known as spiny anteaters, these prickly creatures are native to Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea. After mating, the female echidna lays a single egg in a small pouch on her body. The egg hatches after about 10 days, and the young echidna remains in the pouch for about 2-3 months before mom kicks it out (those spikes get painful).

The platypus and the echidna are the only living examples of monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. Although mammalian in most respects, adult monotremes are toothless and share some similarities with birds or reptiles in some aspects of their anatomy. It's believed that mammals evolved from reptiles, and monotremes represent an early offshoot of mammals, retaining some of the characteristics of their reptilian ancestors.
