Dr Jayaprakash Narayan was the chief guest for the 1st session of the 1st day of the 3-day long National Youth Day, Swami Vivekananda's birthday, celebrations in Ramakrishna Math Hyderabad on 10 Jan 2012.
Dear all¸
I am very happy today that so many youth are here with discipline showing believing that they are not inferior to anybody in the world.My belief is that swamijis dream about modern india will come true in this generation.Why is swamiji so special?what makes people revere him ahead even of the man who inspired hm –sri Ramakrishna.He was not the first spirtual leader but he was that first to bring a new meaning to the long existing spirituality. spirituality was not about god far off but the man next to us.He said that an ant would imagine god as a huge ant.simila rly man envisioned god as aman.Hungry man needs not speeches about god but he needs food was his warnng to us.He gave self respect back to a demoralised nation.He went to America alone without any references not knowng when the next meal would come from.he believed in himself and asked all of us to do the same.he said your past is great your future is bright .if problems are there in your present you can rectify them.lNdia and china are the oldest civilisations.but in china there is only one stream the han dynasty.but i n lndia there are many streams.lts been 2600 yrs since jews have come here.they have lived peacefully.christians have been here since long.they have lived peacefully.712 A.D was when slam arrved n nda and they have lved peacefully.no other race has absorbed so many races and retained i ts own identity.That was what swamiji said.As far as building a nation as concerned we have done extraordinary things.23 yrs of rigorous work in ltaly and 9yrs of blood shed ln germany was needed to bring about uni on.512 domnions were united in 15 days wiith almost no blood shed to unite lndia.unqiue in world history that nation was built with so li ttle bloodshed.we have a great nation . Yes We have problems. Dont shed tears about your problems but face them bravely .thi s was what swmaji said.22 dfferent languages are peacefully uni ted in india and are communicatng freely. (Cf sri lanka pakistan belgium Canada yugoslvia) that s the glory of our nation.l Asked a swamiji where are u from..He said that once we are in thi s ashram there no barriers of place and language.that is the greatness of our naton.
Country cannot be built by cowards.building a nation needs physic cal& mental strength.lt requires clevern ess.Swamiji didnot talk much about god.He talked about man.he talked about strength of man.personally i do not know whether god exisists.but i know there is sin.there are two big sins.one is unfulfilled potential.Nature has endowed each and every man wth a lot of potential.lt is a sin on the part of nation to not allow the potential to manifest.thousands of u are now sittng here.but there are lakhs of students wth potential who are denied the right for growth because of their birth¸ caste and economy.swamiji always said that hungry should be fed first.yo u have no right to preach about god if u ignore a poor mans suffering.He reiterated that service to man is service to god.
These lakhs of people desrve their chance to grow.they have the right to feel equal in all aspects with everybody else.if we fail to do that we are not true followers of swamiji.second one is avoidable suffering.everybody in this world from guru maharaj& swamiji to us will pass away.for the oldest tree also the life span is 4800 years.for everybody ageing is a must.there are some diseases whch have no cure .but barring these rest are preventable.till 10yrs ago everyday 1000 children were struck with polio.there is no point offering sympathy to a polio patent .it is preventable likewise many children suffer blind ness from preventable causes.every year in our state 20000 and 2 lakhs children in our country suffer from neonatal diseases whch are preventable.there is no greater sin than this .that is why swamiji did unique experiment of establishng this mission.he jelled spirtuality wth service.ln ths context if we have to assimilate swamijis message we have to put aside all the differences of caste creed and even country.pakistani¸ Nigerian or other country men is not our enemy.out of many milky ways our s is one.of many planets earth is one.of that india is one small country.than why this arrogance about caste creed and religion.
70000 years ago after volcano tobo erupted only 3000 people survived.we are all descendants of these 3000.we are creating unnecessary differnces in the name of caste¸ creed ¸religion.in colleges i find students divided unnecessarly on these grounds.without overcoming this we wll not be able to build our nation and we will not pay true homage to swamiji.
Self confidence is necessary.we have technology & resources which was not imaginable in swamijis time.we have problems to be faced wth self confidence and not with tears shed out of pity.for this bookish knowledge is not enough.einstein was never asked about his rank.swamijis sittng here or myself don't have our degrees.what is n.eeded is whether we can fnd solution usng the knowledge we have to solving dffcult problems.2000 yrs ago archimedes said that give me a place to stand and a long enough lever and wll lift the earth. A man wth emotion and no ntellgence will bang himself aganst a rock and not move it.A small girl wth intellgence will just put pebbles and a small lever and move the rock.
lN the long history of our country there may have been philosophers who may have had more knowledge than swamij.but what makes swamj unique and what makes his message so important and what makes him so remembered is he used his knowledge to building the nation and using it to solve countrys problems.he used it as a lever to solve the problems.he put these thoughts in our mnds.his deas still stay with us even 110 years after his death.lf we cannot mould knowledge to buld a nation it is useless knowledge and will not be useful for the nation
Today we are afraid of corruption .not to worry we can overcomei t.many years bribeswere needed to get or shift a phone line.but today most of you have cell phones without bribes.why is everbody a mahatma.no.corruption exsists not because lndians are bad people they are neither cowards nor thieves.. but because we have failed to do certain basic things and stop a small set of corrupt people.when tests were done placing money bags wth addresses in all countries of the world 85% of lndans mostly labourers ¸ students and lower mddle class people honestly returned these bags showing that lndans are not bad people.so with confidence and right attitude corrupton can be overconme. ln name of fightng corruption do not become weak
Lastly integrating indivdual wth community is important.einstien said 20th century is characterised by perfection of means and confusion of ends.we have attained perfection in sadhana.but we forgot the goal.we do not know what to do with our education¸ promotions in jobs or as elected representatives of people.A herbew saint said if i am not for myself than who is.who will fight for you other than yourself.so fight and fight bravely.but if am only for myself than what am l .lndividual and society cannot be seen independently.lf not know when. That s what swamiji repeatedly questioned.this does not need great sacrifices.l n fact we do not need to go upto swamiji.we are in domalguda (doma means mosquito in telugu.not in speech.just added it so that people we will understand.Rk math hyderabad is in an area called domal guda).mosquitoes are socialists. they will not differentiate between swamijis here or DGP or some body else.they bite and transmit disease.lf we do not control mosquitoes than everybody irrespective of status will suffer.so we have to integrate individual and society
l Believe tha t our race wll be glorious. A race wth hstory of 5000 years will not become extinct easily.what will happen by our inaction is one or two generations may suffer.same thing happened in Moscow 20 years ago.people were standing in freezng cold in a line for food.one young man got angry and stated that he will go to kremlin and kill general seceratary.He left and came back.when others asked if he had killed him he said there was a bigger line of people there watng to kill him.yes change happened i n soviet union but with result it was split into may parts.one culture was lost.ths country will not go anywhere.we can avoid unnecessary suffering.we can bri ng great change by working with dedication¸ common sense and using the knowledge we have.if you do that changes will come in the next ten years and your generation will be famous.hoping for that change and paying homage to swamiji l conclude my speech.

An awesome story ever read .......... The Goat And The Horse!! Must Read!!!
There was a farmer who had a horse and agoat…..
One day, the horse became ill
so he called the veterinarian, who said:
"Well, your horse has a virus.
He must take this medicine for three days. I'll come back on the 3rd day and if he's not
better, we're going to have to put him down.
Nearby, the goat listened closely to their conversation.
The next day, they gave the horse the medicine and left.
The goat approached the horse and said:
"Be strong, my friend. Get up or else they're going to put you to sleep!
On the second day, they again gave the horse the medicine and left.
The goat came back and said:
"Come on buddy, get up or else you're going to die!
Come on, I'll help you get up. Let's go! One, two, and three..."
On the third day, they came to give the horse the medicine and the vet said:
"Unfortunately, we're going to have to put him down tomorrow.
Otherwise, the virus might spread and infect the other horses".
After they left, the goat approached the horse and said:
"Listen pal, it's now or never!
Get up, come on! Have courage!
Come on! Get up! Get up!
That's it, slowly! Great!
Come on, one, two, and three... Good, good.
Now faster, come on...... Fantastic! Run, run more!
Yes! Yay! Yes! You did it, you're a champion...!"
All of a sudden, the owner came back, saw the horse running in the
field and began shouting:
It's a miracle! My horse is cured. We must have a grand party. Let's kill the goat!!!!
The Lesson:
Nobody truly knows which employee actually deserves the merit of success, or who's actually contributing the necessary support to make things happen.
Remember:LEARNING TO LIVE WITHOUT RECOGNITION IS A SKILL !!!
If anyone ever tells you that your work is unprofessional, remember:
Amateurs built the Ark [which saved all the species]
andProfessionals built the Titanic [all died tragically]
Don't blow it away, another Planet Earth would be hard to find!!
Fwd: [JNTUECKHyderabad] CHOLESTEROL - Informative Mail [1 Attachment]
Blog: www.nuve.info
What is Cholesterol and how you can control it ?
Cholesterol, from the Greek chole- (bile) and stereos (solid) followed by the chemical suffix -ol for an alcohol, is an organic chemical substance classified as a waxy steroid of fat. It is an essential structural component of mammalian cell membranes and is required to establish proper membrane permeability and fluidity.
In addition to its importance within cells, cholesterol also serves as a precursor for the biosynthesis of steroid hormones, bile acids, and vitamin D. Cholesterol is the principal sterol synthesized by animals; in vertebrates it is formed predominantly in the liver. Small quantities are synthesized in other cellular organisms (eukaryotes) such as plants and fungi. It is almost completely absent among prokaryotes (i.e., bacteria).
Although cholesterol is important and necessary for human health, high levels of cholesterol in the blood have been linked to damage to
arteries and cardiovascular disease.

Fwd: [JNTUECKHyderabad] Regular Health Mistakes
Blog: www.nuve.info
These are few
Regular Health Mistakes
All of us make little health mistakes that cause damage to our bodies in the long run, simply because we are unaware we are doing something wrong. Here are some of the most common mistakes made by many of us.
Crossing our legs
Do you cross your legs at your knees when sitting? Although we may believe that this is the lady-like elegant way to sit, sitting this way cuts down circulation to your legs. If you don"t want varicose veins to mar the beauty of your legs and compromise your health, uncross your legs every time you realise you have one knee on top of the other. The best way to sit is to simply place both legs together on the floor, balancing your weight equally. If you feel like changing position, instead of crossing your legs, simply move both legs together to one side. As an alternative, you could also consider crossing your legs loosely at the ankles. This is a classically elegant way to sit, and is far better for your legs and your health than sitting with your legs crossed at your knees.
Not changing our toothbrush
How often do you change your toothbrush? Most of us wait until most of the bristles have either fallen off, or are in such bad shape that we"d be embarrassed to pull out our brush in public. However, since not many of us need to pull out our brush in public, we carry on with our frayed one until we lose it. Replace your toothbrush often. Damaged bristles can harm the enamel, and don"t massage your gums well. If you find brushing your teeth a pain like I do, but know you must do it, you might as well be doing it right. Imagine going through the annoyance of brushing your teeth twice a day only to find out that you"re damaging your enamel every time you clean your teeth. Also, use a brush with soft bristles unless your dentist has advised otherwise.
Eating out often
There are oils that are high in cholesterol, and oils that cause little harm and are better for your heart. However, no matter how light the oil is, it is never a good idea to eat too much of it. Avoid fried foods. Remember that in all probability your favourite Indian food restaurant throws a huge, HUGE chunk of butter in a tiny bowl of dal. Rita, who worked in the kitchen of a 5 star hotel, was shocked when she saw the cook chop a 500gm butter slab in half, and throw half into a Paneer Makhani dish. No wonder the customers left licking their fingers. And no wonder they felt so stuffed and heavy afterwards. Limit outdoor eating unless you know that you"re getting served light and healthy food.
Skipping breakfast
Never, ever skip breakfast. Remember, when you wake up in the morning it"s been around 10-12 hours since your last meal. Your body needs food now, more than at any other time. Eat a heavy breakfast. You will then be busy through the day, and the calories will get expended quickly. If you are trying to diet, eat a light dinner. Here are some more common health mistakes we make. Being informed and making a few changes can help make us feel a whole lot better.
High heels
High heels sure look great, but they're murder for your back. This however doesn't mean you should steer clear of stilettos. Wear them, but not when you know you will be walking around a lot. Wear them when going out for lunch or dinner - when the only walking you will be doing is to your car, to the table,
and back. Avoid high heels when you are going somewhere on foot. If you are constantly tempted to wear your heels, take a good look at your flats. Is there something about them you dislike? Invest in a new pair of beautiful flats or shoes with a low heel. Buy something you love, that you will enjoy wearing. If possible, get a matching bag. You will then enjoy your flats as much as you do your heels.
Sleeping on a soft bed
You don't have to sleep on the floor be kind to your back, but do make sure you have a firm mattress. Although a mattress on springs is soft and lovely to sink into, it's bad for your back. If you already have an old bed with springs, you don't need to invest in a new one - simply get a thick wooden plank put over the springs, and place the mattress on the plank. Similarly, if your mattress is old and lumpy, throw it out and get a new one. Your neck and your back will thank you. The same rule applies to sofas. If you will be spending hours on a sofa, get a firm yet comfortable one. Sofas you completely sink into are not the best idea.
Pillows
No matter how comfortable sleeping with ten cushions is, have pity on your neck and resist. Sleep with one pillow, and make sure it is not too thick. If your pillow gets lumpy, discard it and go for a new one. Get a thin pillow if you sleep on your stomach and something a little thicker if you sleep on your back, to give your neck adequate support.
Not exercising
So all of us know we should exercise more, but many of us don't. This is a health mistake we consciously make! And why is that? Simply because we refuse to admit the damage we are causing to our bodies by not working out. A number of people only start working out once they've experienced a warning signal. Don't wait for a heart attack to strike before you decide to opt for a lifestyle change. Make the change now. You don't need to train for the marathon to be in top shape. Half an hour of brisk walking three to four times a week will make a world of difference to your health. You could then increase this to forty minutes, four times a week - and you're all set. If you haven't exercised for a week, you're making a mistake.
Today's Message is:
Life is short.
Break the rules.
Forgive quickly.
Love truly.
Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile and/or happy.
Share a smile and make the world a better place.
