Life of Christ
Source: http://www.lifeofchrist.com/life/lifescan/

Friends of Jesus
Jesus had many friends, including John the Baptist and the 12 disciples.

John the Baptist

John lived in the wilderness near the Jordan River. Many people came to hear John preach about repen-
tance and the coming of Christ. John baptized people in the river for the forgiveness of sins.
Although Jesus never sinned, he was baptized by John. When Jesus came up from the water, the Holy
Spirit descended, and God spoke from heaven, saying "This is my beloved son."
John the Baptist rebuked Herod Antipas for his evil deeds, and for marrying his brother's wife. Herod
imprisoned John for this, and later had him executed.
Disciples
The disciples were men Jesus selected as companions. They had different backgrounds. Jesus chose fish-
ermen, a tax collector, a twin, and others. They travelled with Jesus as he preached. After Jesus died,
they taught others about him.
The apostles names were: Peter, Andrew, James the son of Zebedee, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Mat-
thew, Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, Thaddeus, Simon, and Judas Iscariot.

Teachings of Jesus
Jesus taught people how to live godly lives. As he traveled around Israel, Jesus taught with sermons and
parables.

Sermon on the Mount

Jesus delivered his most famous sermon on a mountain. In it, Jesus taught his listeners to:
• Love your enemies.
• Do not judge others.
• Trust God.
• Don't be anxious about tomorrow.
• Do unto others as you would have them do unto you (The "golden rule").

Parables
Jesus often taught with parables. A parable is a short story with a spiritual meaning.
Jesus told a parable about two builders. One was wise, and built his house upon a rock. The other was
foolish, and built his house on sand. When a storm came, the wise man's house stood, but the foolish
man's house fell. Whoever obeys Jesus is like the wise man. Whoever disobeys his words is like the foolish
man.
Jesus taught with many parables. Some were easy to understand, and some were difficult. Matthew chap-
ter 13 has several parables of Jesus.

Discover Islam
Source: http://www.dislam.org/en/a.49839.html

Oneness of the order of Prophets means that the prophets do not compete with one another, but rather that they
came to confirm one another and guide people in a particular time and location.

"We have sent revelations to you as We sent them to Noah and the Prophets after him: We also sent
revelations to Abraham, Ishma'il, Isaac, Jacob and his descendants, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and
Solomon. We have revealed Psalms to David. Of some prophets We have already told you their
story; of others We have not; and to Moses God spoke directly…" [Koran, 4:163–165].

Thus, Islam accepts all true prophets appointed by God whether their names appear in the Koran or not. This univer-
sal approach leads Muslims to investigate other religions and treat their followers with tolerance rather than prejudice.

Oneness of humanity refers to the absolute equality of every human. One's race, colour, social status, wealth, etc.,
are not to be used as criteria for human superiority.

"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and
tribes, so that you may know each other (not that you may despise each other). Verily the most hon-
oured of you in the sight of God is the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well ac-
quainted (with all things)"

declared the Koran in 49:13, fourteen centuries ago. Furthermore, Islam is both a religion and a way of life covering
four essential and complementary aspects of human existence for one in every five people on earth.

1. Islam explains existence and relates human life to God and the universe in a manner that satisfies the
mind and the heart alike.

2. It teaches that the prime function of human existence is the recognition and worship of God.

3. It shows how naturally belief in angels, prophets, holy books, the hereafter and the Divine Will ema-
nate from faith in the One true God.

4. Islam establishes universal and timeless principles of human conduct to ensure continuous human
development resulting in individual and communal happiness in this life and the next. Collectively, these
four aspects of Islam provide Muslims with a very profound self-realisation and meaning, a firm convic-
tion and a strong commitment to its practice.

We are all acquainted with the loathsome consequences of living for

the body and denying both mind and soul, and we see that real life
means the complete expression of all that a person can give forth
through body, mind, and soul. Whatever he can say, no one can be
really happy or satisfied unless his body is living fully in its every
function, and unless the same is true of his mind and his soul. Wher-
ever there is unexpressed possibility or function not performed, there
is unsatisfied desire. Desire is possibility seeking expression or func-
tion seeking performance.

A person cannot live fully in body without good food, comfortable

clothing, and warm shelter, and without freedom from excessive toil.
Rest and recreation are also necessary to his physical life .

One cannot live fully in mind without books and time to study them,
without opportunity for travel and observation, or without intellectual
companionship.

To live fully in mind a person must have intellectual recreations, and

must surround himself with all the objects of art and beauty he is ca-
pable of using and appreciating.

To live fully in soul, a person must have love, and love is denied full-
est expression by poverty.

A person’s highest happiness is found in the bestowal of benefits on

those he loves; love finds its most natural and spontaneous expres-
sion in giving. The individual who has nothing to give cannot fill
his place as a spouse or parent, as a citizen, or as a human being. It is
in the use of material things that a person finds full life for his body,
develops his mind, and unfolds his soul. It is therefore of supreme
importance to each individual to be rich.

It is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich. If you are a nor-
mal man or woman you cannot help doing so. It is perfectly right that
you should give your best attention to the science of getting rich,
for it is the noblest and most necessary of all studies. If you neglect
this study, you are derelict in your duty to yourself, to God and hu-
manity, for you can render to God and humanity no greater service
than to make the most of yourself.

CHAPTER 2
There Is A Science of Getting Rich
THERE IS A SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arith-
metic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches, and once these
laws are learned and obeyed by anyone, that person will get rich with mathematical certainty.
Unlike any other form of life, human beings are endowed with the power of choice, which we
call “free will.” But the power to choose brings with it responsibility: We are not free from the
consequences of our choices. The laws or rules which govern us in this regard are every bit as
rigid as the law of gravity.
You can obey these laws and act in harmony with them or you can choose to ignore them, but
you cannot ever change them. And just as the law of gravity makes no allowances for igno-
rance of the law, so do the laws of cause and effect operate with or without your understanding.
The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way, and
those who do things in this certain way — whether on purpose or accidentally — get rich,
while those who do not do things in this certain way — no matter how hard they work or how
able they are — remain poor.
It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects, and, therefore, any man or
woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich.
That the above statement is true is shown by the following facts:
Getting rich is not a matter of environment, for if it were, all the people in certain neighbor-
hoods would become wealthy. The people of one city would all be rich, while those of other
towns would all be poor, or all the inhabitants of one state would roll in wealth, while those of
an adjoining state would be in poverty.
But everywhere we see rich and poor living side by side, in the same environment, and often
engaged in the same vocations. When two people are in the same locality and in the same busi-
ness, and one gets rich while the other remains poor, it shows that getting rich is not primarily
a matter of environment. Some environments may be more favorable than others, but when
two people in the same business are in the same neighborhood and one gets rich while the
other fails, it indicates that getting rich is the result of doing things in a certain way.
And further, the ability to do things in this certain way is not due solely to the possession of
talent, for many people who have great talent remain poor, while others who have very little
talent get rich.
Studying the people who have gotten rich, we find that they are an average lot in all respects,
having no greater talents and abilities than other people have. It is evident that they do not get
rich because they possess talents and abilities that others do not have, but because they happen
to do things in a certain way.
Getting rich is not the result of saving, or thrift. Many very penurious people are poor, while
free spenders often get rich.
Nor is getting rich due to doing things which others fail to do, for two people in the same busi-
ness often do almost exactly the same things, and one gets rich while the other remains poor or
becomes bankrupt.

Jokes
by Ganesh

Mr. Smith was brought to the Hospital and taken quickly in for heart surgery.

The operation went well and, as the old man regained consciousness, he was

reassured by a sister of the hospital, who was waiting by his bed.

"Mr. Smith, you're going to be just fine," said the nun, gently patting his hand.

"We do need to know, however, how you intend to pay for your stay here. Are

you covered by insurance?"

"No, I'm not," the man whispered hoarsely.

"Then can you pay in cash?" persisted the nun. I'm afraid I cannot, Sister."

"Well, do you have any close relative?" the nun questioned sternly.

"Just my sister in New Mexico," he volunteered. "But she's a humble spinster

nun."

"Oh, I must correct you, Mr. Smith. Nuns are not spinster - they are married to

God."

"Wonderful," said Mr. Smith. "In that case, please send the bill to my brother-

in-law."

Who are you?

Poem By
Padmaja Balaji

Oh! Twinkling star of the sky

Why do you blink as a spy?
You peep in only in the night
You are only a coward not might

Agree I am a sight while you lie

Look I am far away not a sly
I am bigger than the Sun you see
Do you get the answer from me?

Oh! Bright Morning Sun of the day

You hide in the night where you stay
You scorch us badly in the summer
Why do you wake us from our slumber?

Enjoy the light that I give freely

Night and day you count from me only
While Earth revolves me in an orbit
She brings in seasons not my gambit

Oh! Are you Mother Earth nice?

Why do you toss us as dice?
You shelter our needs I agree
But storms affect us as your decree

Land and water do I have grand

Sad by your offence of my sand
But play of Air is not in my hand
As he is the cause of your strand

Oh! Listen to me invisible Air

To feel your breeze blow my hair
I am indebted to you for my breath
But why do you storm us to death?

Appreciate my role is very noble

My presence is felt throughout global
I am only an actor of nature’s serials
Why don’t you look inside for your ordeals?

Neutral Thinking
I am interested in spirituality or the soul
science, since ten years from now. I had
been browsing a lot of books from differ-
ent schools of thought, and could by this
time arrive at a conclusion (though I could
hear some one telling that this is a very
short period to conclude..) that unless
one realizes by himself it is difficult to un-
derstand the essence of the Ultimate. So
many books are there to throw light on
the Reality and the ways to reach there-
upon, but nothing is of help unless one
finds it out by himself.
Most of the existing, popular religions tell
us that there is one God. I hope all agree
for the above mentioned fact. Keeping
this in mind I would suggest that you con-
sider the below mentioned facts as well.
Every body would have noticed that there
are
a) Number of religion, castes, sects, sub
sects, sub sub sects.
b) Religious leaders who are considered to
be the Son of God (Jesus), incarnation of
Shiv, Vishnu, Vayu, Agni, Indra, and others
like Mahavir, Buddha, Chaitanya.
c) Innumerable miracles they performed
to prove that they are the incarnation of
the respective gods and also for increasing
the faith of their followers.
d) Interestingly many philosophies came
up from the messengers of the same God
which are quite contrary to each other.
For example, Vishistadvaita is expounded
by Sri Ramanuja (believed to be an incar-
nation of the Shesh nag or the Serpent
bed on which Vishnu sleeps) and Dvaita by
Sri Madwacharya (believed to be an incar-
nation of Vayu or the Wind god). Some re-
ligions suggest that God has all qualities
(Satguna), some tell that God is without
qualities (Nirguna), some conclude that
32
Theni—February 2006
God is Zero. Every theory has got its
own proof and hence it is surviving
the irrevocable effects of Time. So
what is God? Not all believers of the
above mentioned religions with con-
tradictory thoughts about Gods are
Fools.
So I think that one interested in ex-
ploring the Spiritual Sea should set
aside oneself. I do not mean that one
should come up with one's own phi-
losophy adding to the existing very
many!!! What I want to tell is, one
should be free and independent to
decide one path, which will suit his
nature the most, (for ex: devotion,
karma, Gyan, Raja yoga, Kriya yoga,
mantra japa etc.. etc..)and regulate
one's life to practise the method ear-
nestly and meticulously in his daily
life, devoting a sincere amount of
time everyday in contemplation.
Without this daily practise, no relig-
ion or method is of any help in bring-
ing up the striving/starving soul. But
with this daily practise, I strongly be-
lieve that in due course of time, you
will definitely get a Guru to guide you
to your Goal knowing the nature of
the method your soul requires.
As for me, I am an abhyasi of Sahaj
Marg, which again emphasizes the
daily routine of meditation/cleaning/
prayer. I am able to perceive things
clearly now though I know that I have
to go a long way through.

Vishnu Purana
Compiled by the Dharmic Scriptures Team

NAARAAYANAM NAMASKRUTAM NARAM CHAIV NAROTTAMAM |

DEVEEM SARASWATEEM VYAASAM TATO JAYMUDEERYET ||

Introduction and Origin of the Universe from Basic Elements

Sage Parashar, the exponent of Vishnu Puraan had narrated this grand treatise to
Maitreya. Sage Suta inherited it from Maitreya. The text presented here is a narra-
tion by Suta.

Suta says- One day, Maitreya greeted sage Parashar and said- "Gurudev, you have
studied all the scriptures. I wish to hear the tale of universe’s origin from you. How
will be the ages that are about to come? What is the reason for this whole creation?
Who created it? Where did it exist? Whom did it mingle with? And with whom it will
annihilate eventually? Apart from these, I also wish to hear about the expansion of
fathomless sky, origin of ocean and mountains, origin of earth, expansion of the Sun,
division of time in four ages, Pralay, religion, sages, kings, creation of Vedas by Ve-
davyasa, origin of four classes in our society and system of four Ashrams in one’s
life."

Parashar says: "Maitreya, you have reminded me today of the description once made
by my grandfather Vashishta. When I learnt that the monster, which was created by
Vishwamitra, had devoured my father, I grew quite angry and started a Yagya to de-
stroy all the monsters. The Yagya destroyed such a large number of monsters that
the whole race began to face the fear of extinction. My grandfather consoled me
that too much anger was not good and that all the monsters could not be blamed for
my father’s death. According to my grandfather my father was sure to face such a
fate ultimately. Only the fools get angry. A human being bears the fruit of his deeds
himself. O son! Anger destroys all the virtues of penance. Hence, ascetics always
shun anger. Hence, stop this Yagya for forgiving has always been the virtue of ascet-
ics."

Thus, convinced by my grandfather, I stopped the Yagya. At the same time,

Brahma’s son, Pulastya, arrived there and said- "Despite your anger, you forgave the
monsters when convinced by your grandfather Vashishta. You will learn all the scrip-
tures and give commentaries on Puraans. You will also learn the real appearance of
the gods". Vashishta also endorsed these words of Pulastya.

 Theni—February 2006

"O Maitreya! Now I narrate to you, the whole contents of Puraan. This whole uni-
verse has originated from Lord Vishnu. It is existing within Him and will annihilate in
Him eventually."

Parashar says: "The trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh is also known as the crea-
tor, the preserver and the destroyer. All of them salve the devotees. All of them
have equal importance. Still, preserver who fosters and protects all the living beings
is far more significant. I salute to Him and narrate the tale that was once narrated
by Brahma to all the Dakshas. Dakshas had narrated this tale to the King Purukutsa
at the bank of the river Narmada. In turn, Purukutsa narrated this tale to Saraswat
who narrated it to me."

"O Brahmin! Lord is eternal and endless. Hence, origin of universe, its existence and
annihilation are also unending processes. During the period of Pralay, the nature ex-
ists in a state of equilibrium. It is during this period that Purush (masculine forces of
creation) separates from Prakriti (feminine forces of creation) and Kaalroop of
Vishnu (eternal, unending form of the Lord) is manifested. Lord Vishnu is beyond all
the bonding of life like birth, growth, intelligence, senses, decay and death. Purush
is the first appearance of Lord Vishnu. Prakriti is the manifestation of His action
while Kaalroop is His supreme appearance."

During the Pralay, there was neither day nor night, neither earth nor sky and neither
darkness nor light. At the subsidence of Pralay, with His desire, the Lord entered the
Purush who is beyond all bonding. His entry stimulated the process of creation. First
of all, a single great element originated encompassing all the other lesser elements.
From this great element originated three egos- Sattvic, Rajas and Taamas. Taamas
created sky with sound as the main virtue. The sky then created the sense of touch.
Touch produced air. Hence, touch is the main feature of air; no one can see air but
only have an experience of it through touch. Air created Roop, which gave birth to
fire with Roop as its main virtue. Fire gave birth to taste. Taste produced water with
taste as its main property. From water originated scent, which produced earth with
scent as the main feature. These senses have no special expression.

The ego Rajas produced ten sense organs whereas the ruling deities of these organs
were produced by Sattvic ego. Thus, the ten deities who rule ten sense organs and
the eleventh entity mind are Sattvic in nature. Skin, eyes, ears, nose and tongue-
these five organs aid the mind in its function. O Maitreya! Anus, sex organs, hands,
legs and speech organs are the five organs that help in action. Works like excretion,
reproduction, movement and speech are carried out with the help of these five or-
gans. All the five elements like sky, air, fire, water and earth are full of emotions.
Hence, they are also known to have a special significance.
