Jaina Sadhu must fight against the passions and bodily senses in order to gain omniscience and the purity of soul is religious goal in the Jaina system. Its influence on India's culture has been considerable, including significant contributions in philosophy and logic, art and architecture, grammar, mathematics, astronomy and astrology, and literature.
There are four stages of perception, observation, determination, and impression which lead to mati-gyana, the first of five kinds of knowledge. The second kind of knowledge is, derived from the scriptures and general information. There are three kinds of immediate knowledge, avadhi supersensory perception, manah-paryaya, reading the thoughts of others, and Moksha. Moksha is direct experience of the soul's pure form unblemished by its attachment to matter.
Omniscience is the foremost attribute of a liberated jiva, the emblem of its purity; thus, a liberated soul,is a Tirthankara.
According to Jainism, yoga, the ascetic physical and meditative discipline of the monk, is the means to the attainment of liberation. Yoga is the cultivation of true knowledge of reality, faith in the teachings of the Tirthankara, and pure conduct; it is, thus, intimately connected to the three jewels of right knowledge, right belief, and right conduct.

Indian Philosophy-Fire.
Agni implies ‘knowledge’ and Vritta 'darkness of ignorance'. Just as Agni destroys the darkness, in the same manner we should use 'the fire of knowledge' for the destruction of Kama lust, Krodh anger, Moha attachments and Ahamkaar arrogance, the inherent enemies of man. The fire of knowledge is capable of destroying these enemies. Ignorance darkness can be destroyed by knowledge of self.
Kindling the Fire is the religious rite when sandalwood and ghee interact with pran-vayu. The symbol of Fire is an equilateral triangle that represents three ingredients of Fire. These three ingredients sandalwood ghee and pran-vayu generate Agni.
The Agni, the Fire, so produced is the messenger between devotee and God.
Agni that is Fire-God, is second to Indra in the hierarchy of 33 koti Gods. He is equally the fire of the Sun, of lightning, in the havana-agni-kunda. As the divine personification of the fire of sacrifice, he is the mouth of the God, the carrier of the oblation, and the messenger between the human and the divine orders. In the Rig-Veda he is identified with Rudra.
Fire is ever-young, because the fire is re-lit every day, yet he is immortal. Fire is also linked to the Sun Mars, and with the south-east direction.
Agnihotri Brahman households today maintain a sacred fire for the worship of Agni. Ancient Romans kept a holy perpetual fire and transported the sacred fire of Hestia during migrations. The Zoroastrians of Iran placed fire at the centre of their religion and worshiped it.
Aristotle, declared fire, along with water, earth, and air, to be one of the four general and essential elements of life and of all things. Plato asserted that God used the four elements in the creation of the world. Heraclitus attributed to fire the essential force for creation.
Fire worship continues to be practiced among the Parsi in Agyaree temples the sacred fire is maintained by a priest using sandalwood, while his mouth is bound with a purifying shawl.

The Nitrogen Cycle.
We breath nitrogen in air which is 4/5 and 1/5 oxygen is in small quantity.
The nitrogen cycle is the process whereby nitrogen passes from the atmosphere into living things and ultimately back into the atmosphere.
In the process, it is converted to nitrates and nitrites, compounds of nitrogen and oxygen that are absorbed by plants in the process of forming plant proteins.
These plant proteins, in turn, are converted to animal proteins in the bodies of animals who eat the plants, and when the animal dies, the proteins are returned to the soil.
Denitrifying bacteria break down these organic compounds, returning original nitrogen to the atmosphere.
Nitrogen, is a component of proteins and nucleic acids, and it is essential to life on Earth. Although 78 percent by volume of the atmosphere is nitrogen gas, this abundant reservoir exists in a form unusable by most organisms. Through a series of microbial transformations, nitrogen is made available to plants, which in turn ultimately sustains all animal life. The steps, which are not altogether sequential, fall into the following classifications.
Nitrogen fixation, Nitrogen assimilation, Ammoni-fication, Nitri-fication, and De-nitrification.
Nitrogen fixation, in which nitrogen gas is converted into inorganic nitrogen compounds, is accomplished by certain bacteria. A much smaller amount of free nitrogen is fixed by means of lightning, ultraviolet radiation, electrical equipment and by conversion to ammonia.
Nitrates and ammonia resulting from nitrogen fixation are assimilated into the specific tissue compounds of algae and higher plants. Animals then ingest these algae and plants, converting them into their own body compounds.
The remains of all living things--and their waste products--are decomposed by micro-organisms in the process of ammoni-fication, which yields ammonia.
Ammonia can leave the soil or be converted into other nitrogen compounds, depending in part on soil conditions.
Nitri-fication, a process carried out by nitrifying bacteria, transforms soil ammonia into nitrates, which plants can incorporate into their own tissues.
Nitrates also are metabolized by de-nitri-fying bacteria, which are especially active in water-logged, anaerobic soils. The action of these bacteria tends to deplete soil nitrates, forming free atmospheric nitrogen.

Water- essential for Life.
Water is said to have come in existence million years ago, due to process of condensation of vapor. Water is nectar. Life could not exist without water on earth.
Our Scriptures make reference to water as sacred. River Ganga was brought unto earth by sage Bhagirath to meet with the demand of water on earth.
The Saraswati river is referred in the RigVeda more than 60 times. It is one of the seven sacred rivers Sapt Sindhu. Until recently, scholars considered the river to be mythical.
The Saraswati sprang from Himalayan glaciers in Har-ki-dun in Uttaranchal and emerged at Adi Badri, 30 km. north of Jagadhri, through the foothills of the Shiwalik ranges. The river at its peak was between 7-12 km wide at its widest point and traversed a distance of over 1600 km through Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan to reach Sindhu Sagara, the Arabian Sea at Prabhas Patan Somnath,Gujarat.
Then, between 6000 BC and 4000 BC, tectonic changes caused river-migration and the desiccation of the river. It was completely dry by approximately 2000 BC.
The river had its origin at least as early as 12000 years BC.
Considering that the Rig-Veda mentions the river so frequently, it stands that the river must have been in its peak years. This implies that the Rig Veda must have been conceived in its present form between 12000 BC and 6000 BC.
They reference the water life cycle
Water ascends towards the sky in vapors;
from the sun it descends in rain,
from the rains are born the plants,
from the plants, are the animals and humans.
The huge volume of water contained in the oceans, seas rivers has been produced during the geologic history of the Earth. There is little information on the early history of the Earth's waters. The presence of water on the Earth at even earlier times is not documented by physical evidence. The early atmosphere is thought to have been highly rich in gases, notably in hydrogen, and to generate water vapor with reaction of oxygen.
The Earth's surface temperature and the partial pressures of the individual gases in the early atmosphere affected the atmosphere's equilibration with the terrestrial surface. Thus water in liquid form accumulated in isolated depressions of the Earth's surface, forming oceans.
Life originated in the oceans, and the chemical composition of body fluids in land animals reflects their primeval origin. The dependence of life on water is a must and it is the major constituent of plant and animal cells. Most of the major groups of animals still live in water, a relatively small number have adapted to life on dry land.
Water is required for a variety of purposes; water for drinking is still paramount, and such water must be relatively pure. If it is not supplied in sufficient amounts through precipitation, it must be supplemented by irrigation systems. Irrigation, however, is one of the most wasteful uses of water in areas in which it is scarce, because great quantities are lost through evaporation in both storage areas and transport. In many regions irrigation is, nevertheless, essential for human survival. Water is treated with chlorine to make it use-worthy for drinking purposes.
Water for transportation has always been important, as indicated by the fact that most major cities are located on the shores of oceans and other large bodies of water or along rivers and other types of navigable waterways. Despite recent advances in ground and air transportation, water transportation has an economic advantage for the movement of goods that have a relatively low value per unit of weight or volume, such as raw mineral ores, fuels, and various types of construction materials.
Water for urban use other than drinking serves a multitude of purposes, such as fire fighting, street cleaning, sanitation, and sewage disposal. Steel mills, pulp mills, chemical factories, and most other industrial processes that involve the conversion of raw materials into finished products require water.
Next to agriculture, one of the most extravagant uses of water is as a cooling fluid in the generation of power from fossil and nuclear fuels, with the latter consuming far greater volumes. Water has been used directly as a source of power since the time of the first boat and the first waterwheel. A small but important part of the world's electrical supply now is generated by hydropower, in which the force of falling water is used to turn turbines that produce electricity.

Air.
Air
Air is a kind of a gas. It is rather a mixture of gases.
Air consists of around 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and other gases.
Air is colorless odorless tasteless gaseous mixture that surrounds the atmosphere of the earth,
on account of which existence of life on earth is possible. Air has weight. The air reaches up so
high in the sky that its weight puts a pressure of around 7 Kg. on every square inch of the earth.
Secondly the oxygen in the air makes it possible for things to burn.
Air is also an inexhaustible resource in the sense that the uses made of it have little effect on its total quantity.
The quality of air, however, as measured by its chemical composition or physical state, is subject to human interference.
For life to exist on Earth there must be a proper balance among the nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other components of the atmosphere.
A layer of the gas ozone, for example, must be maintained in the upper atmosphere to screen out damaging ultraviolet light from the Sun.
The accumulation of toxic materials in the air must be kept to a minimum, and the concentration of solid and liquid particles in the atmosphere must not be allowed to reach a level that interferes with the flux of solar radiation.
All of these factors are affected by human activity and by the effects of this activity on other forms of life.

Classical form-Ghazal.
Ghazal.
Ravi Shankar and Begum Akhtar popularized ghazal in Europe and USA during the 1960s. However, it was the poet Ali Agha Sahid who introduced it, in its classical form, to Americans. Ali compared each ghazal couplet to a stone from a necklace, which should continue to shine in that vivid isolation.
Ghazal is in Islamic literature, a poem, generally short and graceful in form and typically dealing with themes of love. The idea of ghazal developed in Arabia in the late 7th century from the nasib, which itself was the often amorous prelude to the qasida, ode. Two main types of ghazal can be identified, one native to Hejaz, the other to Iraq.
Ghazal is a short lyric poem written in couplets using a single rhyme aa, ba, ca, da etc., sometimes mentioning the poet's name in the last couplet. The ghazal is an important lyric form in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Urdu poetry, often providing the basis for popular love songs. Its usual subject‐matter is amatory, although it has been adapted for religious, political, and other uses. Goethe and other German poets of the early 19th century wrote some imitations of the Persian ghazal.
The ghazals by 'Umar ibn Abi Rabi'ah of the Quraysh tribe of Mecca are some of the oldest. Umar's poems, based largely on his own life and experiences, are realistic, lively, and urbane in character. They continue to be popular with modern readers.
What became a classic theme of the ghazal was introduced by Jamil, a member of the 'Udhrah tribe from Hejaz. Jamil's lyrics tell of hopeless, idealistic lovers pining for each other unto death. These enormously popular works were imitated not only in Arabic but also in Persian, Turkish, and Urdu poetry until the 18th century.
Of additional note is the work of Hafez, considered among the finest lyric poets of Persia, whose depth of imagery and multilayered metaphors revitalized the ghazal and perfected it as a poetic form.

Guru Nanak.
Guru Nanak.(1469-1539)
Guru Nanak was born in village Talvandi, Lahore.
At an age of 35 he had visionary experience in which he heard a voice
Ordering him to preach God’s name, serve him with prayer and
Spread teachings of true faith.
10th November 2011 is calculated to be the 543 birth-anniversary of Guru Nanak.
Let no man in the world live in delusion. Without a Guru none can cross over to the other shore.
The Guru is the Word, For all nectar is enshrined in the world Blessed is the word which reveal the Lord's name But more is the one who knows by the Guru's grace.
Whoever, styling himself as a teacher lives on others, never bow before him. He who earns his livelihood by the sweat of Hasbro and shares it with others. O Nanak only he can know the way.
God is one, but he has innumerable forms. He is the creator of all and He himself takes the human form.
One cannot comprehend Him through reason, even if one reasoned for ages.
The lord can never be established nor created; the formless one is limitlessly complete in Himself.
The word is the Guru, The Guru is the Word, For all nectar is enshrined in the world Blessed is the word which reveal the Lord's name But more is the one who knows by the Guru's grace.
He who shows the real home in this body is the Guru. He makes the five sounded word reverberate in man.
Even Kings and emperors with heaps of wealth and vast dominion cannot compare with an ant filled with the love of God.
As fragrance abides in the flower
As reflection is within the mirror,
So does your Lord abide within you,
Why search for him without ?
His teachings, expressed through devotional hymns, many of which still survive, stressed salvation from rebirth through meditation on the divine name. Among modern Sikhs he enjoys a particular affection as their founder and as the supreme master of Punjabi devotional hymn. What little information there is about Nanak's life has been handed down mainly through legend and tradition. There is no doubt that he was born in 1469 in the village of Rai Bhoi di Talvandi. His father was a member of a sub-caste of the mercantile Khatri caste. The relatively high social rank of the Khatris distinguishes Nanak from other religious reformers of the period and may have helped promote the initial growth of his following.
He married the daughter of a Khatri, who bore him two sons. For several years Nanak worked in a granary until his religious vocation drew him away from both family and employment, and, in the tradition of Indian religious mendicants, he embarked on a lengthy journey, probably traveling to the Muslim and Hindu religious centers, and perhaps even to places beyond India's borders. Neither the actual route nor the places he visited can be positively identified.
References found in four of his hymns suggest that Nanak was present at attacks Babur launched on Saidpur and Lahore, so it seems safe to conclude that by 1520 he had returned from his travels and was living in the Punjab.The remaining years of his life were spent in Kartarpur.
In view of the size of the following that Nanak attracted, numerous anecdotes concerning the deeds of the Guru began to circulate within the community soon after his death. Many of these were borrowed from the current Hindu and Muslim traditions, and others were suggested by Nanak's own works. These anecdotes were called sakhis, and the anthologies into which they were gathered in rough chronological order are known as Janam-sakhis. The interest of the narrators and compilers of the Janam-sakhis has largely concentrated on the childhood of Nanak and above all on his travels. Among the earlier traditions are tales of visits he is supposed to have made to Baghdad and Mecca. Ceylon is a later addition, and later still the Guru is said to have traveled as far east as China and as far west as Rome. Today the Janam-sakhis offer a substantial material, and the more important of these collections continue to be the basis of biography of Nanak.

Alchemy.
Alchemy.
Beware Alchemy of Mind,
They Turn To Gold All They Find.
The Vedas contain the details of alchemy that are found to have a connection between gold and mercury, which was so vital to alchemy everywhere, is first mentioned in the Artha-shastra. There were records of detailed
procedure to be followed for transmuting basic metals lead tin with mercury to
convert it to gold.
The old alchemy literature could not be scrutinized for evidence, because alchemy doctrine is claimed to have on more than one occasion come into the possession of one man but always again been lost with his death.
The recovery and uses of mercury, also known as quicksilver, have been described since ages. Alchemists used mercury to convert base metals, lead, tin, to gold as early as the 2nd century BC. Metals contain certain quantity of electrons and protons and neutrons in different properties in different ratio in different metals.
Ancient alchemists believed that, under the correct astrological conditions, lead,tin could be "perfected" into gold. They tried to hasten this transformation by heating and refining the metal in a variety of chemical processes, most of which were kept secret. Alchemy was practiced in much of the ancient world, from India to China to Europe.
Alchemy was connected with an enterprise older than metallurgy--i.e., medicine. Belief in physical immortality seems to go back to the 8th century BC, and belief in the possibility of attaining it through drugs to the 4th century BC. The magical drug, namely the "elixir of life" elixir is the European word is mentioned about that time, and that most potent elixir, "drinkable gold," which was a solution of this corrosion-resistant metal, as early as the 1st century BC. Ayurveda, contains two chapters with obscure recipes for elixirs, mostly based on mercury or arsenic compounds. It is a practical treatise on creating elixirs mercury, sulfur, and the salts of mercury and arsenic are prominent for the attainment of immortality.
The possibility of chemical gold making was not conclusively disproved by scientific evidence until the 19th century. As rational a scientist as Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727) had thought it worthwhile to experiment with it. The official attitude toward alchemy in the 16th to 18th century was ambivalent. On the one hand, The Art posed a threat to the control of precious metal and was often outlawed; on the other hand, there were obvious advantages to any sovereign who could control gold making. In "the metropolis of alchemy," Prague, the Holy Roman emperors Maximilian II (reigned 1564-76) and Rudolf II (reigned 1576-1612) proved ever-hopeful sponsors and entertained most of the leading alchemists of Europe.This was not altogether to the alchemist's advantage. In 1595 Edward Kelley, an English alchemist and companion of the famous astrologer, alchemist, and mathematician John Dee, lost his life in an attempt to escape after imprisonment by Rudolf II, and in 1603 the elector of Saxony, Christian II, imprisoned and tortured the Scotsman Alexander Seton, who had been traveling about Europe performing well-publicized transmutations. The situation was complicated by the fact that some alchemists were turning from gold making not to medicine but to a quasi-religious alchemy reminiscent of the Greek Synesius. Rudolf II made the German alchemist Michael Maier a count and his private secretary, although Maier's mystical and allegorical writings were, in the words of a modern authority, "distinguished for the extraordinary obscurity of his style" and made no claim to gold making. Neither did the German alchemist Heinrich Khunrath (c. 1560-1601), whose works have long been esteemed for their illustrations, make such a claim.Conventional attempts at gold making were not dead, but by the 18th century alchemy had turned conclusively to religious aims. The rise of modern chemistry engendered not only general skepticism as to the possibility of making gold but also widespread dissatisfaction with the objectives of modern science, which were viewed as too limited. Unlike the scientists of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the successors of Newton and the great 18th-century French chemist Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier limited their objectives in a way that amounted to a renunciation of what many had considered the most important question of science, the relation of man to the cosmos. Those who persisted in asking these questions came to feel an affinity with the alchemists and sought their answers in the texts of "esoteric," or spiritual, alchemy (as distinct from the "exoteric" alchemy of the gold makers), with its roots in Synesius and other late Greek alchemists of the Venice-Paris manuscript.This spiritual alchemy, or Hermetism, as its practitioners often prefer to call it, was popularly associated with the supposititious Rosicrucian brotherhood, whose so-called Manifestoes (author unknown; popularly ascribed to the German theologian Johann Valentin Andreä) had appeared in Germany in the early 17th century and had attracted the favourable attention not only of such reforming alchemists as Michael Maier but also of many prominent philosophers who were disquieted by the mechanistic character of the new science. In modern times alchemy has become a focal point for various kinds of mysticism. The old alchemical literature continues to be scrutinized for evidence, because alchemical doctrine is claimed to have on more than one occasion come into the possession of man but always again been lost. Nor is its association with chemistry considered accidental. In the words of the famous 19th-century English spiritual alchemist Mary Anne Atwood,Alchemy is an universal art of vital chemistry which by fermenting the human spirit purifies and finally dissolves it. . . . Alchemy is philosophy; it is the philosophy, the finding of the Sophia in the mind
Arabic alchemyArabic alchemy is as mysterious as Greek in its origins, and the two seem to have been significantly different. The respect in which Physica et mystica was held by the Greek alchemists was bestowed by the Arabs on a different work, the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistos, the reputed Hellenistic author of various alchemical, occultic, and theological works. Beginning "That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above," it is brief, theoretical, and astrological. Hermes "the thrice great" (Trismegistos) was a Greek version of the Egyptian god Thoth and the supposed founder of an astrological philosophy that is first noted in 150 BC. The Emerald Tablet, however, comes from a larger work called Book of the Secret of Creation, which exists in Latin and Arabic manuscripts and was thought by the Muslim alchemist ar-Razi to have been written during the reign of Caliph al-Ma'mun (AD 813-833), though it has been attributed to the 1st-century-AD pagan mystic Apollonius of Tyana.Some scholars have suggested that Arabic alchemy descended from a western Asiatic school and that Greek alchemy was derived from an Egyptian school. As far as is known, the Asiatic school was not Chinese or Indian. What is known is that Arabic alchemy was associated with a specific city in Syria, Harran, which seems to have been a fountainhead of alchemical notions. And it is possible that the distillation ideology and its spokeswoman, Maria--as well as Agathodaimon--represented the alchemy of Harran, which presumably migrated to Alexandria and was incorporated into the alchemy of Zosimos.The existing versions of the Book of the Secret of Creation have been carried back only to the 7th or 6th century but are believed by some to represent much earlier writings, although not necessarily those of Apollonius himself. He is the subject of an ancient biography that says nothing about alchemy, but neither does the Emerald Tablet nor the rest of the Book of the Secret of Creation. On the other hand, their theories of nature have an alchemical ring, and the Book mentions the characteristic materials of alchemy, including, for the first time in the West, sal ammoniac. It was clearly an important book to the Arabs, most of whose eminent philosophers mentioned alchemy, although sometimes disapprovingly. Those who practiced it were even more interested in literal gold making than had been the Greeks. The most well-attested and probably the greatest Arabic alchemist was ar-Razi (c. 850-923/924), a Persian physician who lived in Baghdad. The most famous was Jabir ibn Hayyan, now believed to be a name applied to a collection of "underground writings" produced in Baghdad after the theological reaction against science. In any case, the Jabirian writings are very similar to those of ar-Razi.Ar-Razi classified the materials used by the alchemist into "bodies" (the metals), stones, vitriols, boraxes, salts, and "spirits," putting into the latter those vital (and sublimable) materials, mercury, sulfur, orpiment and realgar (the arsenic sulfides), and sal ammoniac. Much is made of sal ammoniac, the reactive powers of which seem to have given Western alchemy a new lease on life. Ar-Razi and the Jabirian writers were really trying to make gold, through the catalytic action of the elixir. Both wrote much on the compounding of "strong waters," an enterprise that was ultimately to lead to the discovery of the mineral acids, but students have been no more able to find evidence of this discovery in the writings of the Arabic alchemists than in those of China and India. The Arabic strong waters were merely corrosive salt solutions.Ar-Razi's writing represents the apogee of Arabic alchemy, so much so that students of alchemy have little evidence of its later reorientation toward mystical or quasi-religious objectives. Nor does it seem to have turned to medicine, which remained independent. But there was a tendency in Arabic medicine to give greater emphasis to mineral remedies and less to the herbs that had been the chief medicines of the earlier Greek and Arabic physicians. The result was a pharmacopoeia not of elixirs but of specific remedies that are inorganic in origin and not very different from the elixirs of ar-Razi. This new pharmacopoeia was taken to Europe by Constantine of Africa, a Baghdad-educated Muslim who died in 1087 as a Christian monk at Monte Cassino (Italy). The pharmacopoeia also appeared in Spain in the 11th century and passed from there to Latin Europe, along with the Arabic alchemical writings, which were translated into Latin in the 12th century.
Beware Alchemy of Mind,
They Turn To Gold All They Find.
The Vedas contain the details of alchemy that are found to have a connection between gold and mercury, which was so vital to alchemy everywhere, is first mentioned in the Artha-shastra. There were records of detailed
procedure to be followed for transmuting basic metals lead tin with mercury to
convert it to gold.
The old alchemy literature could not be scrutinized for evidence, because alchemy doctrine is claimed to have on more than one occasion come into the possession of one man but always again been lost with his death.
The recovery and uses of mercury, also known as quicksilver, have been described since ages. Alchemists used mercury to convert base metals, lead, tin, to gold as early as the 2nd century BC. Metals contain certain quantity of electrons and protons and neutrons in different properties in different ratio in different metals.
Ancient alchemists believed that, under the correct astrological conditions, lead,tin could be "perfected" into gold. They tried to hasten this transformation by heating and refining the metal in a variety of chemical processes, most of which were kept secret. Alchemy was practiced in much of the ancient world, from India to China to Europe.
Alchemy was connected with an enterprise older than metallurgy--i.e., medicine. Belief in physical immortality seems to go back to the 8th century BC, and belief in the possibility of attaining it through drugs to the 4th century BC. The magical drug, namely the "elixir of life" elixir is the European word is mentioned about that time, and that most potent elixir, "drinkable gold," which was a solution of this corrosion-resistant metal, as early as the 1st century BC. Ayurveda, contains two chapters with obscure recipes for elixirs, mostly based on mercury or arsenic compounds. It is a practical treatise on creating elixirs mercury, sulfur, and the salts of mercury and arsenic are prominent for the attainment of immortality.
The possibility of chemical gold making was not conclusively disproved by scientific evidence until the 19th century. As rational a scientist as Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727) had thought it worthwhile to experiment with it. The official attitude toward alchemy in the 16th to 18th century was ambivalent. On the one hand, The Art posed a threat to the control of precious metal and was often outlawed; on the other hand, there were obvious advantages to any sovereign who could control gold making. In "the metropolis of alchemy," Prague, the Holy Roman emperors Maximilian II (reigned 1564-76) and Rudolf II (reigned 1576-1612) proved ever-hopeful sponsors and entertained most of the leading alchemists of Europe.This was not altogether to the alchemist's advantage.

He came to Bombay in 1961. He lived as a paying guest and his earlier assignments were singing advertisement jingles. Singh was first offered to sing in a Gujarati film, Dharati Na Chhoru produced by Suresh Amin.
On 10 May 2007, in a joint session held in Parliament Hall Jagjit Singh rendered the famous ghazal "Lagta nahin hai dil mera" to commemorate the 150th anniversary of year 1857.
Jagjit Singh was the top most Ghazal singer of India. His father wanted him to become a government officer, but Jagjit wanted to do something in music. But later his father found happy with Jagjit's music career and achievement.

Jalaram Bapa.
Saint Jalaram. (known as Jalaram Bapa.)
Free Food Center Jalaram Bhojanalaya catering thousands of pilgrims every day,
Free, continuously day and night for the last 188 years uninterrupted. For the last ten years the temple management do not accept any charge gift donation in cash or kind. It is free for all.
Born: (1799-1881)
Place: Jalaram Temple. Virpur near Rajkot Saurashtra.
Wife: Virbai.
Guru; BhojalRam of Fatehpur.
Inspiration. Idol of Sri Rama and Hanuman.
There are 100 Jalaram Centers functioning in different parts of the country and over-seas.
Today is the 212 birth anniversary of Jalaram Bapa being celebrated all over.
Jalaram was saint from Gujarat, born in Virpur in a lohrana family.
His parents were, Pradhan Thakkar and Rajbai Thakkar.
He was married to Vir Bai Maa.
Shree Jalaram Bapa was a devotee of Lord Ram.
Jalaram Bapa was however not willing to live household life and continue business of his father.
He was mostly engaged in serving pilgrims, sadhus and saints.
Jalaram Bapa was inclined to completely withdraw from marital life.
Fortunately his wife, Virbaima decided to follow the path of Jalaram.
When Jalaram decided to go for a pilgrimage for holy places like Ayodhya, Kasi,
Badrinath and several other sacred places. Virbaima followed him.
At the age of 18, Jalaram Bapa accepted Shree Bhojal Ram of Fatehpur as Guru
and was given a "Guru Malaa and Mantra" in the name of Shree Ram.
With blessings of his guru, he started "Sadavrat" a feeding center,at Virpur in 1820,
where sadhus, saints as well as the visitors could have food for free.
Nobody returned from that place without having food.
All this he did single handed with Virbaima assisting him.
Soon his fame spread as an incarnation of the divine Lord Rama.
Whoever come to Virpur, whether Hindu, Muslim or any Religion was fed by Bapa.
This tradition of feeding people continues to this day in Virpur, Gujarat.
The center feeds thousands of visitors every day since the year 1820 and is non-stop continued till today.
Devotees have offered so much money to this temple in the past, that the temple is no longer taking any more donations since 9th February, 2001. Virpur sub-post master spent a whole day signing money orders in the name of Jalaram bapa.
In fact, it is only temple in India to set such a trend to not to take any offerings and donations and continue the feeding to all visitors with love and reverance.
At a time when God himself in the guise of an old Saint told Jalaram Bapa to donate his wife Virbaima to serve him, after having deep sight in heart Jalaram Bapa actually donated Virbai Ma.
After reaching somewhere in forest a saint asked Virbai Ma to wait for him but he never came, this was followed by an Akashwani stating that it was only to test hospitality of the couple, then God came and gave blessings.
He had left a Cane and a Bag, with Virbai Ma, before the saint disappeared and Akashwani followed. This Danda and Jholi are still there at Virpur and are kept in display in a glass enclosure.
In modern time, many devotees of Jalaram have experienced that if they pray to Shree Jalaram Bapa from the depth of their heart, he kindly gives his blessings to them and fulfill their wishes. These experiences are known as "Parachas".
They pray to Jalaram Bapa, that if their wish is fulfilled they would donate some money or grains or do fasting on Thursday or would send their experience to be printed on Jalaram Jyot - a magazine published from Rajkot.
Due to innumerable Parchas, experienced by many persons, the name & fame of Jalaram Bapahas spread all over the world and his Temple can be found in all parts of India as well as overseas.
Previously, devotees used to send to money to Jalaram Bapa's main temple at Virpur and flow of money never stopped.
However, the Virpur temple has stopped taking any money in cash or cheque since over a decade and is one and only temple in world to do so. Theses "Parachas" are printed in the magazine every month with name & address of devotee, for any can verify it and also the person who sent his experience can come to know that his Paracha has been printed.
Even today Jalaram Bapa's birthday, the seventh day of Kartik month is celebrated as Jalaram Jayanti. On this day various groups of Jalaram devotees feed the food as prasad. This happens at a lot of Jalaram temples throughout India & abroad as well. Jalaram Jayanti is observed on the seventh day after Diwali.

Human's Height.
Series120
Height.
A small soldier shoots straight.
The army wing prefers tall soldiers.
The Navy prefers its crew of medium height.
The Air force prefers air-men with small height.
Therefore it is imperative that you select the right wing.
Height of the child is a hot topic in the family since its birth.
Children are conscious of height when in the school
the teacher asks the class boys and girls to line-up
as per the short and the tall.
Height of the body is not something one can change.
When children get together the important question is about the height.
When shall I grow?
How much shall I grow?
How much tall will I be?
All grow up. But they grow up on a fixed schedule. It is said that
the genes inherited from the parents largely determines the height
of the child. A short height child feels it a joke of the nature on him
that he grew short. It is true that in our society a small man is at a
disadvantageous position than the tall ones.
Result of research studies indicates that in countries
like the USA, life is equated with the physical size.
We see corporate heads large and tall and imposing.
Most successful people are six foot tall slim and straight.
Lawyers, politicians actors prominent people are almost six footers.
There are salesmen, policemen, football players, sportsmen who have tall size.
The women prefer tall straight and slim with normal weight. Aggressiveness
intelligence and all that comes afterwards. So it can be said that persons with
a small height in many cases is an object of pity, amusement scorn and rejection.
Height is the Nature’s gift. If you are not tall or medium height, the world is not
lost. What counts is your own ability and self confidence. You can rule the world
if you have the mettle. Napoleon, Hitler were small statured. Yet they ruled the world.

Valentine's Day.
14-02-2011.
Sunday.
Valentine’s Day.
When Adam delved and Eve span;
Who was then the Gentleman?
Who can give a law to the Lovers?
Love is a greater law unto itself.
Love ceases to be love when it ceases to be secret.
Boys and Girls eagerly wait the aforesaid day and date.
It is a practice to send greetings and love declaration for each other.
"I belong to you and only to you till death do us part.” all that.
They have to go on doing the drill.
It is the sure way to climb the steps of the ladder of love.
Perhaps you could climb a few steps to the ladder to her heart this day.
The drill has to be never ending. It is a continuous process. They should be watering the love plant regularly. It is a constant continuous process involving routine. Such routine has importance to them in their lives. Your endearing and witty remarks are judged. It is a general pattern and can be applied to any particular one selected for this purpose to be the future partner. Stares, smiles comparison, touch hand, touch hugs, caress, kiss, kind word, kind glance, stolen glance, stolen stare, accidental body touch are vital pre-requisites of long and everlasting union with her.
Sudden phone call, sudden e-mail, sudden visit sudden telegram, sudden flowers, everything sudden and unexpected and out of way so as to attract her attention all the time all the while. Buy flowers, buy gifts, buy books, buy tickets for concert movies and cultural programs. Keep her busy.
Keep her engrossed in you. Do not give her time to think. Bestow constant attention.
Address her with all big names and begin with all big salutation. Shout her loud as “Princess!” in a crowd and al that childish tricks. She will be yours in no time. Check up beforehand that she is not preoccupied or reserved elsewhere. Ascertain her interest in you. Check up, whether she is interested, and she is free.
“Are stars not out today?”
“What a pity!”
“Can stars be in the House?”
“It has to be in the Sky”
“For all to see them.”
All such stuff will get you to her.
Dream up all sorts of stories wild ideas and jokes and dreams you had about her and all that stuff. She really likes it. She wants to hear all sort of non-sense about her. She craves for it. She likes to hear all sorts of probable and improbable stories. She likes to fly with them.
You have to be a good storyteller to win a fair heart. She likes to be pampered and compared with the moon and the stars and the fairies and the legends. She is moving with the characters of the story. That is her weakness. Flattery thy name is her. She is so fond of hearing about her that she moves with every sentence. She is all ears to hear about her.

Frustation.
Frustration.
Her mother, in her days, remained annoyed with him. Mother many a time used to warn him. It is quite funny. It seems true, children do inherit feuds of their parents.
She: “It is your entire fault to spoil her.”
Mother many times used to scold him
Mother asked him to stop fondling her.
She: “Calling her a Princess, She has a life to go.”
She: “A bum she may have to live with!”
She: “Don’t put ideas in the poor child. It will make her life miserable.
She: “We are born to work. Born to be exploited, used and thrown.”
She: “She is no different” “She is one of us.” “She is not only Prince’s daughter. She is my child also. I want to rear up her in my way.”
She: “We are just receptacles, bins, spittoons, toys for Lords.”
She: And remember we are born to,
“To please them”
She: “They will do to us what they can’t do in their home.”
She: ”A woman is different from a man.”
She: “She is subject to lot of temptations, dangers, every step. Every male she comes in touch, looks at her to take her straight to bed. She can’t go with all.”
She: “She is still young to know all this.” “Why burden the poor child!”
She: “Allow her to live in her world.” “These are her best days.”
She: “Her time will come.” “Her days are not far off.”
She: “A girl is ten times wise than a boy of her age.”
She: “When time comes she will act.” “She is capable to do so.”
She: “She need not be taught. It is in her.” “She need no lessons.”
She: “Do you understand?” “Idiot as your mother has born you?”
She: “I do not know what I saw in you?” “You pig -head!”
She: “I feel I should not have brought you to stay here.”
Today, his face was red with anger. Blood had come up on his face. He burst out loudly. He could not contain himself. He was shaken up. He lost his balance. He shouted out loudly. He lost his calm and cool. He forgot his place in the house.
He: “Shut up you bad mad Cow!” And.
He: “Keep your lips buttoned”
He retorted mother, as if, putting her in her proper place, and asserting his authority. He tacitly made her realize that he was the boss in the house. Today he was in high spirits.
He: “This is my place and I call every one and any one as I please.”
She: “You’re House? What I hear?” “ Did I hear Right?”
She: “This is my house.”
He would check himself. He knew he had gone fast. Mother was not a lady to be handled roughly. Mother was a respectable person, all coming to her for advice. Mother had pretty much her finger on the pulse of the entire surrounding area. He realized it was not an opportune time to pick up a quarrel with her.
She: “Before evening if you are not out of the house, I will throw out your things.” “I do not want untoward headstrong element in my house.”
He calmed down. He was taken aback. He was shocked at the turn of events. He apologized profusely. He never intended to agitate her so enormously. He counted to mother all obligations he had done. How he had protected her in her days of need, and how he was helping her in all houses hold matters. He was a sort of her helping man running her errands here and there as told. He had been her handy man in her service all these years in return of a shelter. Mother listened to everything he spoke; she took her time, to make the statement. She replied him more slowly than was her custom, to give weight to her words.
She: “I do not know anything.” “You have forgotten one thing!”
She: “I never wanted your help.” Mother would always use this phrase.
She: “You pick up a wrong time to enter into arguments with me.”
She: “You are a nuisance to me all the while.” “You are useless.”
She: “Want to know the truth?” “Truth will be bitter. Don’t compel me.”
She: “How I feel for you?” “I have always felt very rotten about you.”
She: “I brought you in my house to keep you.” “That was my folly.”
She: “I thought you would prove a man.” “You are a coward.”
She: “I wanted you in the house for moral support and protection.”
She: “You were never there when I wanted you.” “You play cards.”
She: “When I am in trouble, you do not notice.” “You do not care.”
She: “When I am happy, you spoil it.” “I have always noticed that.”
She: “When I am depressed, want to console me, you are not there.”
She: “When I ask you to do something you do not do it.”
She: “When I ask you not to do something, you do it.”
She: “You enjoy when others make a fool of me.”
She: “You have been a nuisance all the while.”
She: “You and I have been going on separate lines.”
She: “ There is no fun seeing you in the house.”
She: “It is time now that you leave the house at an early date.”
“Out of my house!”
His face fell. He was shocked. He was shivering with nervousness. He was doomed. He would surrender. He would quit answering her. He would remain calm like a tame puppy. . He would quit. He would entreat her later to allow him to stay when she was calm. This was perhaps the longest ever-made speech by her. Otherwise she spoke quite less. Mother resumed sewing her dress. Mother did not remember her words. Mother never used to engage herself in serious confrontation.
Thus routine would go on and life passed.

Facts about Life.
Facts about Life.
A word, a hint, to the wise is sufficient.
Ton of words of advice to the fool are of
no avail. Fools rush in where angels fear
to tread. Fool sets a stone rolling which
hundred wise can not stop.
Fools live in their own paradise.
God's arrangement to create this world are
beyond our imagination. Everything is meticulously
planned and implemented. We can not manage
a home of five or six. He manages this world,
of six billion. There are also billions
of birds, animals sea-dwelling creatures etc.
The Sun rises at a set time. It sets at a set time.
Seasons take place round the year every year regularly.
His arrangement is beyond our comprehension.
We describe God in our limited way.
We have not realized God in His full form.
We have therefore no right to pass any judgment
about Him.
We might have come across some
part of His Being. We picture God as per our
form viz. in the form of a human-being.
God is an abstract existence.
He does exist. It is beyond our comprehension
to pictures Him. We are too small to realize Him.
God is the biggest artist.
No proof is needed for those who believe in Him.
No proof can make them believe for those
who do not believe in Him.
Therefore never persuade, never explain to them.
With experience they will fall in line.
See the Kumbh where hundreds of million
gather to take a Holy dip in the Trio-rivers.
Old and able, young and weak, blind and lame
all attend to it with utmost faith.
Is this not a terrible achievement? Is this not a proof?
God created Men and Women on this earth in
equal proportion. His purpose was that they
may take care of all other living-beings.
He placed man's greatest pleasure in the private
parts of the body of a woman.
She has within her a deep long tunnel.
Similarly the private parts of the body of a man
afford greatest enjoyment to a woman.
She is scared to see it. She likes it.
Man or woman, both, are incomplete
without each other. Both are complimentary
of each other. She is incomplete until her
private part is penetrated by that of a man.
Similarly a man's organ knows no rest until
it enters the female organ.
It is a mutual operation. In many cases,
there takes place a race to win over the
other.
There is a conflict to prove his or her
superiority. No one can say
with authority who enjoys more.
The man? The Woman? or None?
One is a Giver. The other is the Receiver.
Even the scriptures are silent as to who enjoys
more when a man and a woman happen
to cohabit.
It is left to our imagination to
picture our enjoyment in the form we would
like to feel. The woman dreams of it.
She likes it. She longs for it.
She looks forward to it. She enjoys it.
On the other hand the man feels lost and spent as an aftermath.

Simple English is the Need of the Day.
Simple English.
A simple language is the need of the day.
There are about 65 or more alphabets in use in world through out.
English word alphabet is derived from first two letters alpha, beta of Latin alphabet. English spelling is in much need of general over-haul and streamline.
As an analytic body one would suggest that the Secretary General of the UNO inaugurate a National Easy English Week outlining some short-cut to an easy practical English.
So many languages, so many grammar have to be crammed to learn so many languages. All this is a real waste of human energy.
With the advent of the Internet, there has been a communication-revolution. The world has become small like a tennis-ball. The world has come to us in the form of a cyber-village. There is no dearth of contacts and customers.
The computer language is ideal for its simplicity worthy to be considered as an alternative to the congested and clumsy literary form we have used for ages.
Presently Computer-language is in crude form. With usage and constant touch with world countries it will improve in kind and quality. With constant usage it will achieve finesse and artfulness by contribution from various sources of comments and criticism of world dignitaries.
In addition to English, the French, Spanish German Italian Russian Chinese, Indian, among others can be called the leading languages which majority of people speak. They are open to changes and simplification. They are easy in learning it.
No country is willing to forego their claim to be considered to be the world-language. The UNO at the helm of the affairs of the world should come forward and increase the usage of a particular language to be the Lingua-Franca that is the world language.
Now let us consider a few prominent languages hypothetically in the race to qualify for the world language. Say English, French and Spanish languages are in the race for final selection of one language for day-to-day world transactions.
In respect of all the foregoing three languages, it can be said that their grammar, rules of usage are very clumsy hard lengthy and difficult to learn within a certain short spell of life. The French is a literary lucrative lavish language meant for writers and poets. The Spanish is almost similar to French with some difference here and there.
German and English are derived from the same mother language. It is said that of all the languages, English is the difficult and toughest language to master. It has lot of irregular verbs words, irregular grammar practices, irregular pronunciation and irregular construction of sentences. English spelling are irregular and vary occasionally in different context.
GBShaw, on many occasions advocated a simple language easy in the reach and understanding of everyone. Let there be a language which the world people can understand and learn with less difficulty.

The Bermuda Triangle.
The Bermuda Triangle.
On the Earth, 3/5 is water. There are seas and oceans.
These seas and oceans have been identified after their
currents they generate. There are seven main ocean currents.
At some point of time two different currents can be visibly seen
so that to different oceans can be separated from each other by
the flow of the direction of its current.
The ocean currents in the northern hemisphere turn clockwise.
The ocean currents in the southern hemisphere turn anti clockwise.
This happens due to rotation of the Earth around the Sun.
In the western part of the Atlantic ocean there is a spot covering north
Bermuda to bottom of Florida, in the east towards the Bahamas, past
Puerto Rico. It is a triangular place of unbelievable mysteries. This
place is usually referred to as the Bermuda Triangle. Here in this place
more than hundred planes, and ships have literarily vanished into thin air.
There is no trace of them. Thousands of life has been lost in this place
for reasons unknown. They are without trace. Since 1945 to this date,
experts have spent their lives to solve the mystery but it is not full-proof.
Some experts have tried to explain their disappearance as due to
Mysterious weather conditions within the area of the Bermuda Triangle.
But this fact is not borne out by any tangible evidence.
“ No breeze drives the ship. The sea has no great depth; the surface of the earth
is covered by a barely little water.. the monsters of the sea move continuously
to and fro and monsters swim among the sluggish and slowly creeping ships.”
The mystery of the sea has been told and retold time and again and has been a
subject of court matters and investigation but still has not been solved. The
disappearance of the crew has been explained as attack of pirates, mutiny in
the ship and flight after killing the captain, or hijacking. There is no evidence.
Some point to the blue hole, one of the underwater caves in Bahamas waters
where strong currents sweep through these passageways and some small boats were found wedged inside them. But this isolated blue hole can not devour big
airplanes and very big ships in hundreds.
Incidents of disappearance of ships and airplanes in the Bermuda Triangle has
led to identifying similar areas which includes the sea in Japan which is
named as the Devil’s sea.
Some attribute such a phenomena to existence of UFOs (Unidentified Flying
Objects) responsible for such occurrence. The Devil’s sea area has long been
dreaded by boat and sea men who believe that the area is inhabited by devils
demons and monsters.
There is one more speculation that the gravity and laws of normal magnetic
attraction no longer function in ways we are familiar and evidence points
to the existence of anti-gravitational particles that may have arrived
from space and got embedded into the crust of the earth under the sea and
responsible for such catastrophe.
Scientists have pointed out about 12 such spots under the sea.
But the Bermuda Triangle and Japan’s Devil’s sea have come to lime light
because of constant traffic in that area.

Human Brain.
Brain. “An Idle mind is Devil’s Workshop.”
Do we use only ten percent of our brain? Is it true?
It is not true that we use a limited percentage of our brain.
Although different parts of the brain keep more active or
less during the course of different activities. There is no
Evidence that we use a limited percentage of the brain and
rest of the portion of the brain remains idle or inactive.
Damage to a small area of the brain can cause devastating
effects such as amnesia, paralysis or loss of language.
It is found that every part of the brain serves an important
function upon which other parts of the brain depend upon.
Following are some of the simple tips and good advice to
keep the brain functioning at top efficiency.
1. You should eat a well balanced diet. The brain requires
energy and proper nutrients to work efficiently.
2. You should have enough sleep. To avoid drowsiness
and irritability get a good night’s rest. The brain will react faster
and shall prove better in performance of hard tasks of complex nature.
3. Avoid head injuries by covering the head with a helmet.
when you ride a bike, skate snow-board or do ski.
4. Head injuries account for 80 percent of bike related injuries accidents
and injuries. Bike helmets reduce the risk of head injury by at least 80 percent
Tie the seat belt also when moving in a car. Seat belts significantly reduce the severity of injury and decrease the number of car injuries.
5. In Europe and in USA the deaths involved in car accidents runs into thousands every year. The coming of sophisticated vehicles have significantly
increased the number of car accidents.
6. Do not use drugs, cocaine opium bhang marijuana heroin etc. Such
Psychotropic substances alter the function of the neuron transmitter
in the brain and mostly leads to addiction, and other mental and physical problems.
