4. View/s:

  • When an ordinary person gets the power, s/he becomes blind.  To be extra-ordinary, it is very difficult. If you try to curtail or leave your own or family desire, then a person could be extra ordinary after a long and long practice or exercise.
  • There is nothing so important than a person's freedom.

5. Shree Sadhak Satyam (SSS):

During hours of despair, faith can keep you vigilant. Faith on the road taken should be unshakable and unlimited. Faith is a matter of heart and not the matter of head. Normally, we are habituated to live by logics, reasons and calculations so questions do come to us at our endeavours.

Your attitude and moral standards of today are largely affected, shaped and controlled by the events of your past lives, particularly immediate past life. Limited by knowledge and capacity, beginners cannot catch sight of their merits and cultures of past lives. If you know the ways of past lives sadhana can become simpler and more straightforward. Is there any way to make the way more direct and fruitful?

Yes there is. To be assisted by the one who has travelled into the most wanted secrets; completed the journey and the one who has measured every inch between the crossroads and the final destination- He is GURU, a great being and a seer. Remember, he is not an ordinary being but is a great authority and to come across him/her is a rare opportunity. Once you are close to a true GURU, you can suppose that half of your work is done.

Hari Om

6. Quote/s:  

Many people may hear what you say, friends listen to you.  But true friends listen what you don't say.

-Unknown

7. Joke/s:

Many people say that Nepalese people are very poor.  But I strongly disagree with the opinion. How could we be so poor since our king is the incarnation of the God?  God can rain pennies of gold and so on….

School of Naya Gaon is located at very strategic point. Conservation officer of Shivapuri National Park and his Game Scouts Bikas, Bachchu and Sahadev also accompanied with him. Bachchu was sick so he returned to Jagate with Sahadev, but Conservation Officer and Bikas went to Kakani.  Forest enroute was very dense and lonely.  they didn't see even a single man walking so long.  it was an experience.

Nepal is a rich country of water resources.  There are many rivers and streams in Nepal. It is estimated around 6000.  When a person saw our Bagmati and Bishnumati, and they will conclude that Nepal is really rich not only in water resources, but also in Dhalmatis! May 6.

***********

2648 Buddha Jayanti is celebrated in Nepal with the hope that Nepal can regain the peace.  King Birendra proposed to be a Nepal a peace zone in 2031 BS during his Shuvarajyabhishek ceremony. Around 126 countries of the world also approved it that Nepal should be a peace zone.  Many people think that Sher Bahadur Deuba then the PM of Nepal is responsible to bring Maoist problem, some blame for it to NC leaded by Girija Prasad Koirala, some blame for it to Bishwo Nath Prasad Upadhyaya, then the Chief Justice whose decision broke Manmohan Adhikari's popular government and some blame for the policy makers of Nepal who never give first priority to watershed management of Nepal. It is true that Nepal is a country of thousands and thousands of watersheds.  Without the proper management of the watersheds, it is not possible to develop Nepal.  Problems arise primarily due to the poor economic status of the people and corrupt politicians such as Govinda Raj Joshi, Khum Bahadur Khadka Prabritis who always like to be elected in any cost to parliament of multiparty democracy.

Meeting on Shivapuri Buffer Zone Management and Coordination Committee was held at DNPWC at Babar Mahal. May 4.

How many gallons of gasoline are consumed in the U.S. on an average day?

According to this piece in the Seattle Times, Americans used 8.93 million barrels of gasoline a day in 2003. A barrel holds 42 gallons, so that's roughly 375 million gallons per day.

Over the past five years, gas consumption has increased annually at a rate of 1.6 percent, on average. So it's probably not surprising that come summer, Americans will use even more of the fuel. A recent Bloomberg article states that the U.S. government projects that in the summer of 2004, the daily consumption rate will be 9.32 million barrels (or about 391 million gallons).
