Planning For a Picnic

Picnics area great way to unwind and spend quality time with family and friends in the fresh air and sunshine. But they do require prior planning. Make a list of everything you might need. As you pack, check off each item to ensure nothing has been left behind. Before you start off, make sure your car or the vehicle you  hire is in a good condition. Take along road maps if you’re headed to an unfamiliar destination. Here’s a ready guide to help you with the rest of the panning.

People : Go with family or a like –minded group of friends with children of the same age group (so that they can keep themselves occupied)

Venue: You can picnic anywhere in parks , meadow , the zoo, or near beaches( if you live next to the seaside and historical spots. If you don’t want your picnic washed out, be sure to check the latest weather forecast.

Food : prepare simple “dry” fare-tasty finger foods, pasta dishes, stuffed parathas and sandwiches, include fruits-they keep well, and are refreshing. Pack the food in aluminum foil, airtight. Containers, hot cases and casseroles . you can divide dishes among families , potluck style-this way you can get variety, and there’s no need to pre-plan the allotment of dishes.  

Beverages: Bring what you want to drink ice boxes, along with lots of icae and drinking water. For tea and coffee, it is best to bring boiling water in thermoses, along with instant coffee powder, tea bags sachets or creamer and sugar.

Cutlery-crockery: Disposable ones work best . you may want to go for plastic or melamine with regular stainless steel forks and spoons. Do not forget the serving ladies and knives for chopping up fruits and salad.

Other essentials; Rugs or durries, blankets, plastic sheets,  table cloths, paper napkins, towels and trash bags (so that you don’t and up littering the area) you also need cushions, umbrellas, sunhats, sunscreen , insect repellant creams and a first aid box.

Entertainment; Get Frisbees, discs and balls for children , and playing cards, scrabble or ludo for those who want to laze. Also bring along a stereo ( with strong batteries) and a good mix of music that all will enjoy .Do keep a camera ready to capture the fun moments. Courtesy wisdom

I fear nothing but doing wrong

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Vedanta and Privilege

(Delivered at 39 Victorian street, London on November 2,1896)

We have nearly finished the metaphysical portion of the Advaita. One point, and perhaps the most difficult to understand, remains. We have seen so far that according to the Advaita theory, all we see around us, and the whole universe in fact, is the evolution of theat one Absolute. This is called , in Sanskrit, Brahman. The absolute has become changed into the whole of nature. But here comes a difficulty. How is it possible for the Absolute to change? What made the Absolute to unchangeable? Change of the unchangeable would be a contradiction. The same difficulty applies to those who believe in a Personal God. For instance, how did this creation arise? It could not have arisen out of nothng that would be a contradiction-something coming out of nothing can nee be. The effect is the cause in another from. Out of the seed, the big tree grows , the teee is the seed, plus air and water taken in. and if there were any method of testing the amount of the air, and water taken to make the body of the tree, we should find that it is exactly the same as the effect, the tree . modern science has proved beyond doubt that it is so, that the cause is the effect in another form. The adjustment of the parts of the cause changes and becomes the effect. So , we have to avoid this difficulty of having a universe without a cause, and we are bound to admit that God has become the universe.

But we have avoided one difficulty , and landed in another. In every theory , the idea of God comes through the idea of uchangeability, we have traced historically how the one idea which we have always in mind in the search for God , even in its crudest form, is the idea of unchageability is ojne and the same. It is the free alone which never changes, and the unchangeable alone which is free; for change is produced by something exterior ot a thing, or within itself, which is more powerful than the surrounding. Everything which can be changed is necessarily bound by certain cause of causes, which cannot be unchangeable. Supposing God is here and has changed. And suppose the infinite has become this finite universe, so much of the infinite has become this finite universe, so much of the infinite has gone, and therefore, God is Infinite minus the universe. A changeable God would be no God. To avoid this doctrine of pantheism, there is a very bold theory of the Vedanta. Courtesy thoughts on Vedanta

But, if He exists? 

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
