10 important questions in life

When you die, 10 things GOD won't ask you:

1..... God won't ask what kind of car you drove. He'll ask how many people
you drove who didn't have transportation..

2..... God won't ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many
people you welcomed into your home.

3..... God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He'll ask
how many you helped to clothe.

4..... God won't ask what your highest salary was. He'll ask if you
compromised your character to obtain it.

5..... God won't ask what your job title was. He'll ask if you performed
your job to the best of your ability.

6..... God won't ask how many friends you had. He'll ask how many people to
whom you were a friend.

7..... God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, He'll ask how you
treated your neighbors.

8..... God won't ask about the color of your skin, He'll ask about the
content of your character.

9..... God won't ask why it took you so long to find Him and ask Him into
your house, He'll lovingly take you to heaven and not to the gates of Hell.

10..... God won't have to ask how many people you forwarded this to, He
already knows your decision.

Baby Names

Searching for an ideal name for baby is  one of the most challenging affair for would be parents
the names need to be meaningful , easy to pronounce and lovely .
in the Global Village that we live today this task is even more difficult .
we need to find names which do not have derogatory meaning or pronounced very badly in a few language other than the mother tongue :)
in many cultures there is a custom of using grand parents' grand uncles' names . this make naming issue much easier . however for those that find grandpa rants;   names  orthodox or 'out of fashion' have to look for a suitable name from tens of thousands of options

some parents 'coin ' a name by merging part of each parent's name some times this produce a good name and many times it produces funny sounding names
but what is in a name ? Rose would be as sweet by any other name.  the 'XXXX' may be as sweet but then rose will not be sweet
here are a few resources to look for good hindu names
Vishnu sahstra naam
shiv sahastra naam
Lalita sahastra naam

टीप २ : घीमें भिगोए गए तिल |

२ अ. सहस्रचंद्रदर्शन शांतिविधिका महत्त्व

        शिव समाधिस्थ रहकर अधिकतर अप्रकट रहते हैं । शिवका तारक रूप यदाकदा प्रकट होता है । इससे तारक रूपसे चंद्रके समान चैतन्य एवं आनंद प्राप्त कर, जीवनमें शिवके आशीर्वाद प्राप्त करनेके लिए सहस्रचंद्रदर्शन विधि की जाती है । शिवके आशीर्वाद प्राप्त होनेसे व्यक्तिकी ऐहिक व पारमार्थिक पीडा और क्लेश दूर होते हैं और उसकी आयुमें वृद्धि होती है । इस विधिमें केवल एक चंद्रका (सोमका) दर्शन न कर, सहस्र चंद्रोंकी शीतलता एवं चैतन्य प्रदान करनेकी क्षमतावाले सूक्ष्ममें चंद्रदेवताके दर्शन पाने हेतु यह विधि की जाती है । इस विधिसे प्राप्त चैतन्यसे व्यक्तिके लिंगदेहको केवल इस जन्ममें ही नहीं, अपितु आगामी जन्ममें भी चैतन्यका लाभ प्राप्त होता है ।

२ आ. मृत्युके पश्चात् व्यक्तिकी लिंगदेहकी चारों ओर संरक्षक-कवच निर्माण होना

        चैतन्यका स्वरूप चंदेरी जलके समान है । उसमें जडत्व नहीं है । इसलिए वह हलका है और लिंगदेह उसे ग्रहण कर सकती है । मृत्युके पश्चात् यह चैतन्य लिंगदेहके साथ जाता है एवं इस चैतन्यकी शीतलताका सूक्ष्म-वायुसे संपर्क होकर जलका घनीकरण होता है और उसका रूपांतर चैतन्यमय संरक्षक-कवचमें होता है । इसीको `तारक रूपसे मारक रूपमें चैतन्यका रूपांतर' कहते हैं ।

२ इ. विधिके मंत्रोंसे संभावित लाभ

१. विधिके मंत्रोंमें साधना एवं जीवनका उद्देश्य बताया गया है । इस कारण लिंगदेहपर चैतन्यके साथ साधनाका संस्कार भी होता है ।
२. मृत्युतक एवं मृत्युके समय इस ज्ञानके स्मरणके कारण जीवका अहं कम होनेमें सहायता मिलती है ।
३. जीवके मनमें सत्के विचारोंकी एवं उसकी सात्त्विकताकी वृद्धिमें सहायता होती है ।
४. इस कारण पुन: जन्म लेते समय, जीवमें अनिष्ट शक्तियोंके प्रतिकारकी क्षमता जन्मत: निर्माण होती है ।
५. इस प्रकारके जीवको गर्भमें धारण करनेवाली माताको भी प्रसूतिसे पूर्व एवं प्रसूतिके समय शारीरिक, मानसिक एवं आध्यात्मिक स्तरके कष्ट कम होते हैं ।
६. इसके विपरीत, गर्भस्थ जीवकी सूक्ष्मदेहपर चैतन्य एवं साधनाके संस्कारके कारण माताको गर्भस्थ जीवके सत्संगका लाभ मिलता है तथा आनंद एवं चैतन्यकी अनुभूति होती है ।

Some tips on cleaning walls



We all know that with kids and animals around the house, it can be really hard to keep walls clean and mark free. Here’s a few simple ways to remove certain stains and marks from your walls.
Ink (Pen and Permanent Marker) – Thanks to the artistic attempts of our little cherubs, this seems to be the thing that ends up most often on our walls. To remove ink, there are a few methods you can try (for painted walls).
*Spray some hairspray onto a cotton ball until it’s fairly soaked and rub it gently over the ink mark



Try some rubbing alcohol/metho on a cotton ball and dab it on the ink stain until the stain is gone.
*Apply some toothpaste to it, leave it for 10 minutes, then wash off with water (this method is also great for wallpapered walls).
*Apply some eucalyptus oil to a cotton ball and rub directly on the mark.
Crayon – Another thing the kids like to apply to our walls is crayon. To remove it from painted walls, get a small plastic spoon and gently scrape some of the crayon wax off the wall. Then sprinkle some bicarb soda on a cloth and rub it over the mark. Wipe it off with a damp cloth. If there is remaining crayon residue, try rubbing the rest off with eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball.
To remove crayon from wallpapered walls, use the toothpaste method and follow it up by wiping it down with some white vinegar.
Dirty Fingerprints and Scuff Marks – To get rid of dirty fingerprints the best thing to use is a ½ cup of white vinegar and ½ cup of warm water, then wipe the walls down with it. Eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball rubbed on the fingerprints will also work well.
Grease Marks – The same vinegar/water solution as above may be used to remove grease stains from your walls (especially in the kitchen). Lemon juice is a great degreaser so you can add a couple of splashes of that to the solution for the stubborn grease marks.
General Wall Cleaner – For a general clean and freshen up of your walls, you can try Shannon Lush’s technique – 1 teaspoon of lavender oil in a spray bottle of water. Spray it all over the wall and wipe off with pantyhose. Alternatively, you can buy sugar soap from any supermarket or hardware store to wash your walls down.
There are other suggestions I have seen which may also work on your walls, such as using baby wipes, Magic Erasers and Gumption or even just plain soapy water. Let us know if you have any other great tips or tricks and we can add them to the website!
