Total Solar Eclipse

Longest Solar Eclipse of the Century

On July 22, 2009 we will witness one of the grandest spectacles - Total Eclipse of the Sun when the moon would completely cover the disc of the Sun. It is an event so rare that most people do not get an opportunity to witness it even once in their lifetime. This eclipse would pass through a large number of cities and densely populated regions, and will also be the longest totality lasting for 6-7 minutes making it the longest until 2132.

We will experience the beautiful scene when all birds, animals get confused, plants close up, owls and bats come out, - stars and planets visible for few minutes and all are disturbed by nature's own event.

In India The umbra of moon's shadow will first touch the Western coast of India at 6.23 am @ 18kms per second. The route will be Surat, Vadodara, Indore, Bhopal, Varanasi, Patna, Darjeeling, Gangtok, Dibrugarh and Itanagar.

Enjoy this life time event.

DMP Mock Drill

Natural Disasters would keep happening, we cannot avoid them, so lets prepare ourselves. Join our effort to build a Disaster Management Information System.

THE ENERGY CENTERS OF THE HUMAN BODY

CHAKRAS:

Within the spinal chord, lies the psychic energy centers called the chakras. A chakra is a psychic energy centre that controls all of our physical and mental functioning. Each chakra can also give us access to the spiritual dimensions of our being.

There are 7 main chakras that are located between the base of the spine and the top of the head.
Bottom 6 chakras regulate all of our human functions and experiences and the top seventh chakra, Sahasrara- lies at the crown of the head. It regulates our experience of the transcendental realms beyond normal human experience.

The following is the explanation of each chakra location, importance, consequences if a particular chakra vibrates fast and slow. The chakras must neither vibrate fast nor slow but there must be a balanced vibration for a human to be successful and happy.

MOOLADHARA

Mooladhara is located in the pelvic region. When this chakra is slow then you will be a kind of stationary being, Non motivative, you just depend on you. When this chakra is fast then you will never believe in others, and will never try to listen to what the other person wants to say.

SWADHISTHANA

Swadhisthana is located at the tip of the spine. When this chakra is slow then you cannot experience anything though you have all the luxury. When this chakra is fast then always you will be in enjoyment. You will not have any goal.



MANIPURA

Manipura is located behind the naval. When this chakra is slow then you will be fearful and, timid. When this chakra is fast then you will not fear for anyone, dominative type of character and you will give lot of pain to the other person.


ANAHATA

Anahata is located in the centre of the chest. When this chakra is slow then though everyone around you will love you but you cannot take that love nor give the love. When this chakra is fast then you will have tremendous uncontrollable love which is not good. For example: consider a husband whose Anahata chakra is fast then out of tremendous love on his wife he will put her in the house and lock her with the fear of loosing her.


VISHUDHI

Vishudhi is located behind the throat pit. When this chakra is slow then you will be living a life without any question inside just like animals. That is you will eat well, work well and sleep and no other question. When this chakra is fast then you will get fundamental questions which do not have any meaning. You will be messed up in the questions like this throughout the life. And ultimately you will spoil your life.


AJNA
Ajna chakra is located in the place where the two eye brows meet. When this chakra is slow then the person will be very confusing and untidy. When this chakra is fast then this kind of persons will lead a very very systematic life. And will not leave this systematic behavior even at the cost of the life.

All the six chakras must be in the balanced state for a human to be successful and happy. And this balancing of the six chakras can activate the seventh chakra, Sahasrara.


SAHASRARA

Sahasrara is the seat of enlightenment. It regulates our experience of the transcendental realms beyond normal human experience.
All these chakras will be balanced automatically the moment you step in the Oneness Temple. A neurobiological surgery will be done for your brain in Oneness temple.
For all the humans there are three fundamental things to be done in life.
Earn a lot of wealth so that the poverty can be fought back.
Fulfill all your desires. Enjoy with what you have earned.

Contribute to the society. You have to help the fellow-being in any form.

RACES

RADIO AMATEUR CIVIL EMERGENCY SERVICES

A UNIT OF CIVIL DEFENCE

Words of Strength and Courage

There is always a special place in my heart for those who are dedicated to the cause of liberation of humanity. Remember your thoughts are known to you alone. Your words are known to you and the listener, which nonetheless are forgotten with the passage of time. While the service you render alone shall stay for eternity. It will benefit all life.

When the time for transition arrives the Presence would engulf humanity like a tidal wave and alter its consciousness. Be not perturbed. Do what is expected of you. Share your wisdom and the power of Deeksha with others. The rest will be taken care.

The highest of states is the state of seva (service). The spirit of seva is inbuilt into every insight, realization, mystical experience and mukti (awakening). It is this spirit that drives you to share with the world what has been given to you.

There are thousands whose lives need to be affected by you. It is my will that this work should happen through you. No matter how many may emerge, fulfill your part yourself.

Get going with your work and help your fellow humans. All things will fall into place. No matter what your thoughts are, I will liberate you.


It is the nature of creation to hold future a mystery. However, what you should do in your future is up to you to decide. Surrender does not imply laziness. You have the power and the ability to make your choices. Make use of all the opportunities that come your way. I will help you reach your desired goal.

Awaken to your destiny. This is what you are here for.

For a glorious future to be, desire must flower into passion and manifest as action. Your attention must be focused on your goal. Giving up to Amma Bhagavan does not mean non-action. This is karma bhoomi, the plane of action. Hence effort in the external world is inevitable.My grace will go along with you in your efforts.


Whatever be your nature since you have asked me, you will have an experience of my power. Go home and chant the Moolamantra. You will see my grace for yourself.

Security is possible only when it is shifted to God.

Faith or no faith, I am in you and with you at all times.

"How long?" is the wrong question. Pray until grace floods.

Timeless Insights by Sri Amma Bhagavan

I am That

Consciousness is the playground where the higher and lower conscious are at play.

Your choice aligns you to the higher or the lower conscious.

Intent + Effort + Grace = Success.

When you are focussed all things fall into place.

Prayer is like an itch you send up the body of God.

The best form of prayer is gratitude.

Yad bhavam, tad bhavati – as you feel so shall it be.

Prosperity and poverty begins with thought.

All resistance to truth is because of failure of intelligence.

Life is what you make of it – a school, a battlefield or a playground.

A happy person creates a happy world while an unhappy person creates an unhappy world.

Life is primarily governed by two needs – the need to love and the need to be loved.

Life is relationships.

The destructive tendencies of the lower conscious are silenced through the blessings of your parents.

Judgement and evaluatory processes cause suffering in relationships.

Your children inherit not only what you earn but also what you are.

Trying to pin point blame is like peeling an onion;you land up nowhere.

Love thyself to love thy neighbour.

Genuine affection is to be affected

A family that plays together, prays together and dines together stays together.

You reap what you sow but many times over.

Fear is only in the anticipation, never in the actual.

A breakdown state creates a breakdown reality while a breakthrough state creates a breakthrough reality

Do not let the situation determine your state let your state determine the situation.

A life without vision is like a journey without destination.

You Co-create your destiny with God.
