O Lord; Lead me from dishonesty and falseness to truthfulness; guide me from darkness to the awareness and from the fear of death to the immortality. Let the peace exist everywhere…
Falseness to truthfulness
The universal truth is that all living being, Hindu scripture has mention of 8400 thousand yoni (living being) has to die and we cannot carry anything. We are surrounded by the myth that what we can claim ownership is mine and everything else is of someone else and in the race to acquire and make the feel of ownership, we commit the worldly act of greed, dishonesty and competition. There is no harm in competing for the cause which has been executed as per the humanitarian principles and guidelines. But, if we become greedy and conduct harmful acts because we want to own the worldly things for material pleasure that would be categorized as the act of dishonesty and falseness.
We must surrender our duties and responsibilities on the basis that it fulfills our purpose of living in the world and in the process do not harm anyone. We must learn to live life with the nature’s harmony.
Darkness to the awareness
Darkness exists in multiple form – darkness because of illiteracy, darkness because of fear, darkness because of lethargic attitude and darkness of not knowing our duties. The appearance of awareness or lightness by way of knowledge, education and power to differentiate between right and wrong is required for everyone to live good life.
Fear of death to immortality
We very well know that we are going to die one day but, because we are so attached, engrossed with the worldly pleasures, our attachment with our relatives, friends and acquaintances that we all fear for death. We have this internal desire to live long, live healthy and live in peace. In Bhagvad Geeta Shri Arjuna asked to Shri Krishna – what is the biggest surprise? Shri Krishna replied – we all know that we are going to die one day; still when we see anyone dead we say “Oh! How come this person has died”.
We know that the soul never dies. Our body is like a cloth which when becomes aged the soul leave the body and takes form in another body.
In the above prayer; the prayer is devoted to the supreme lord with the request to help us know and be aware of the truth, light of awareness and the immortality of soul. When we realize these facts, we will be able to live a life which will be fearless, happy and as per the nature harmony. Let the peace prevail…

Hey, Awesome post about Twitter. I think Twitter is going to be one of the stronger networks because of the fact that it is supported by so many industries. I also think when Twitter introduces some of it’s new functions, returning traffic will increase to show the real growth of the network. Keep up the good work!
I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement
It is useful to try everything in practice anyway and I like that here it’s always possible to find something new.
I discovered your weblog via google, i was surfing and ended up right here, i love what i read, you’ve got natural talent. For that I can value you a lot more then you could think.
I am not an expert at many things.I don’t know about politics,I’m no medic, I have no clue about animals, in fact there are many stuff that i have no idea about…BUT..I’m a specialist at cooking, I’m a chef and my business is to make many people feel like in heaven whenever they eat what i cook. Maybe a wedding or a house party or whatever and whenever the reason might be. So I know how hard can be at times to make people feel better at times. That’s why i like you!
There is also something that i enjoy, people blogs that educate other people on diffrent topics.
You’re great! Thank You!

There are two ways of constructing a software design; one way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult. C. A. R. Hoare-
