Sri Anandamayi Ma Does the capacity to meditate come by practice in this life, or is it an aptitude acquired in former births ? Mātājī : It may be the result of either of the two, or of both combined. Meditation should be practised every day of one’s life. Look, what is there in this world? Absolutely nothing that is lasting; therefore direct your longing towards the Eternal. Pray that the work done through you, His instrument, may be pure. In every action remember Him. The purer your thinking, the finer will be your work. In this world you get a thing, and by tomorrow it may be gone. This is why your life should be spent in a spirit of service; feel that the Lord is accepting services from you in whatever you do. If you desire peace you must cherish the thought of Him. When will there be peace on earth? Mātājī : Well, you know what the present state of affairs is; things are happening as they are destined to be. When will this state of unrest come to an end? M

Annular Solar Eclipse - nasa annular solar eclipse time (9.5.13 > 10.5.13 for gmt) : Partial begin 21:25:10 Total begin 22:30:34 Greatest eclipse 0:26:20 Total end 2:19:58 Partial end 3:25:23 symbol : wisps of wing-like clouds streaming across the sky Key: The awareness of spiritual forces at work. Any emergence of life potentialities from the depth of the vast Unconscious is answered by the spiritual activity of superconscious forces in a cosmic kind of antiphony. The individual who has taken a new step in their evolution should look for the "Signature" of divine Powers confirming their progress. It may reveal the meaning of what is to come next. The "wing-like clouds" may also symbolize the presence of celestial beings (devas, angels) blessing and subtly revealing the direction to take, the direction of "the wind" of destiny. This stage concludes a process, having experienced which the individual should find themse

The Rose The spinning vortex of Saturn's north polar storm resembles a deep red rose of giant proportions surrounded by green foliage in this false-color image from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. Measurements have sized the eye at a staggering 1,250 miles (2,000 kilometers) across with cloud speeds as fast as 330 miles per hour (150 meters per second). This image is among the first sunlit views of Saturn's north pole captured by Cassini's imaging cameras. When the spacecraft arrived in the Saturnian system in 2004, it was northern winter and the north pole was in darkness. Saturn's north pole was last imaged under sunlight by NASA's Voyager 2 in 1981; however, the observation geometry did not allow for detailed views of the poles. Consequently, it is not known how long this newly discovered north-polar hurricane has been active. The images were taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Nov. 27, 2012, using a combination of spectral fil

 bindu In the name of astrology, ninety-nine percent of astrologers are only bluff. Only one percent know that astrology is a vast subject - so vast that someone can only enter into it hesitatingly... My intention in talking on astrology is not the same as are discussed by an ordinary astrologer. The astrology I am talking about is of much more depth. Something which is essential between your life and that of the universe is connected, is in a rhythmic harmony. We are not separate or isolated but joined together in an organic way. Life is a whole. Whatever is happening anywhere in the universe also affects man and vice versa. If we can understand this properly, there is no need to live encaged within ego and pride. The significance of astrology is this: you are not, but the universe is. Your ego is not, but the cosmos is. Very powerful forces are operating, and your ego is absolutely insignificant. You can only understand the astrology I am talking about, if you think
