Manila's blogs..

Today I came across a book " The Miracle of Mindfulness" , a classic guide to meditation, written by Thich Nhat Hanh.. I liked these lines the most--especially the last line.. “If while washing dishes, we think only of the cup of tea that awaits us, thus hurrying to get the dishes out of the way as if they were a nuisance, then we are not "washing the dishes to wash the dishes." What's more, we are not alive during the time we are washing the dishes. In fact we are completely incapable of realizing the miracle of life while standing at the sink. If we can't wash the dishes, the chances are we won't be able to drink our tea either. While drinking the cup of tea, we will only be thinking of other things, barely aware of the cup in our hands. Thus we are sucked away into the future -and we are incapable of actually living one minute of life.” Its exactly true..Isn't it?

Pleasant climate...a rare experience in karaikudi!!

Brihadeeshwara Temple, Thanjavur-- Had a solitary visit  last week. Not a line more than " It's awesome !!"

Have you ever thought of what is the reason of the emergence of the inequality that exist between human kind? or Why some communities are brought up in a pool of luxuries while some others are submerged in miseries????Is it because the later said are cursed?

Karma is the law of moral causation.This is the fundamental doctrine in budhism , which was prevalent in India once before advent of Budha.Neverthless, It was only Budha who took it in todays'form.The theory of Karm...

Happy New Year!!

I t was a pleasant saturday of October..While I  was entering our CECRI campus today, to my surprise I saw a board near to the usual pavement towards my laboratory which I hadn't noticed at all eventhough it was there for a long time!! I felt awkward for being ignorant to the same as a science researcher's keen weapon is OBSERVATION.  Well said!! Look around and set your mind and soul free..Open your eyes and sharpen your ears.. Beauty is truth, truth beauty. . .  Nature is beautiful..Life too!!

So far from my 24 years of life experience on living in earth, the dominating difference what I felt in between Human love and Animals love is that the latter one is UNCONDITIONAL ..as visible from the above images. There is never a pinch of discrimation,reagarding color, race etc.I wish we all practice the same and bring out communal harmony. Start practising and just feel the difference!
