How salt is distributed in salt water




Svetaketu asked his knowledgeable father : if God or God' power  is
the cause of all this world, why do we not see Him? Why do we not feel
that ? His father replied:

Dear son, you are seeing Him and you are feeling His presence. But you
are not realizing that it is Him and his presence. Let me tell you an
example.

He took a lump of salt and asked Swetaketu to put that in a little
water in a vessel. It was night time and father said that they would
look at it in the next morning.

Next morning he asked his son to take the  lump of salt from the
water. Son looked at it and said the lump was not there. So father
asked him to taste the water from the top, bottom, and sides. He
tasted and he said it was salty wherever he took the water from.

Now father said: you know the salt was dissolved. You could not
perceive the salt now with your eyes,but you could taste it. So also
in this body of ours and in everything else in this world,He is
present. But He is beyond senses and you cannot realize Him through
our senses. Even though you could not see the salt, you could feel
it's presence by taste. God's presence is felt through love, kindness,
forgiving, and all saatwic feelings.

Shathaabishekam

6/21/08 When is Shathaabhishekam celebrated? When it should be celebrated? We have heard about different versions of when it should be celebrated, when you complete 84 years, or when you complete 81 years and 10 months or when you complete 83 years 4 months. Shathaabhishekam is celebrated when a person sees 1000 full moons lives through 1000 full moons in his life. Since it is a mathematical calculation, there should only be one answer. Then how are we having all these three answers? (It really does not matter when you celebrate, but out of curiosity to know the reason behind the celebration, I did some research and I thought some people may share my curiosity. Of all the explanations I read I liked the one given below.)   Here is a convincing explanation based mainly on a question -answer series in Bhakthapriya magazine published by Guruvayur devaswom. For clarity, I am trying to express it as mathematically as possible.   Number of full moons in one year = 12   So n

Six elder brothers of Krishna

5/6/09 We all know that Prahlada was the son of Hiranyakashipu. According to the story in Harivamsha, Hiranyakashipu had another son called Kaalanemi. (Kalanemi appears in different demon forms in each yuga and gets killed by Lord. In Threthayuga he was Ravana's uncle.) This Kalanemi of Dwapara yuga had 6 sons who were the son's of Marichi Maharshi in their previous birth. They were born as Kalanemi's children becasue of a curse from Sage Devala. They were called shad-garbhaas and their names were Hamsa, Suvikrama, Krahta, Damana, Ripumardana and Krodhahantha.   These grandsons of Hiranyakashipu did not accept Hiranykashipu as their God and refused to chant "Hiranyaaya Nama" as instructed. Instead they did severe penance to please Brahma Devan. Brahmadevan was pleased and appeared before them and gave the boon they asked for. They did not want to get killed by any Devaas, Gandharvaas, Yakshaas or naagaas. After receiving the boons, they stayed under wat
