HAIL ! AMERICA

Witnessed to-day, the Presidential oath taking ceremony of Barrack Obama.

Hail! America, the champion of Liberty. You have this day, shown the world that equality, the true principle of Democracy is honoured and protected by you. The principle for which Abraham Lincoln died has now taken a shape; the people who were bought and sold, captured and ill-treated as slaves, once, are now honoured with a great present, from the descendents of those people who ill-treated them. May Obama lead the nation to more glory. May he become the ideal president that all the people of the world dream of for their country. May the world be at Peace.

Mumbai blasts

My country which is fast developing and competing with the developed countries in many fields, suddenly found itself, this week, so weak that the entire country is alarmed about the security of the people and properties. Mumbai found itself terrorised by a few terrorists and many innocents died. I could not control weeping for the sad affair and the state of weakness my country is in, inspite of all the power and economy.

Unto Bliss

Purge your mind of all thoughts of worldly objects. Banish from your mind all thoughts save those relating to God. In case you find unable to do so, you should entertain only noble ideas. Cultivate and develop the virtues of cheerfulness, joviality, wisdom, serenity, harmony, benevolence, compassion,harmlessness,service, charity, friendliness, continence, self-control, etc. You will then be able to create an atmosphere suited to your temperament. You will get a society of your liking and your activities also will conform to your mental disposition. If you enshrine love rather than hatred in your heart, it will be reflected in your eyes, in your countenance and in your speech. People will be drawn towards you; they will get a glimpse of love as soon as they look at you or listen to your words, as they are brought face to face with you. Nay, they will reciprocate your love. If your heart is full of love, your actions, too, will be saturated with it. The result will be that the whole world will extend its love to you. The same is true of all other virtues.
