The Brave Heart of a Brave Women happy Mother's Day

If you agree or like it, then please share it.

You may know Kareena, Katrina, Madhuri and Sridevi, but I can confidently say that 95% of Indians would not know this brave lady. 

Neerja Bhanot was the senior flight purser on the ill-fated Pan Am Flight 73, hijacked by four heavily armed terrorists after it landed at Karachi at 5 am from Mumbai. PA 73 was en route to Frankfurt and onward to New York City. Neerja alerted the cockpit crew about the hijack and, as the plane was on the tarmac, the three-member cockpit crew of pilot, co-pilot and the flight engineer were able to flee from the aircraft. Neerja, being the most senior cabin crew member on board, took charge.

The hijackers were part of the Palestinian Abu Nidal terrorist organization and were backed by Libya. They immediately shot dead a passenger who identified himself to the terrorists as being an American. The terrorists then instructed Neerja to get the passports collected of all the passengers, so that they could identify the Americans. Neerja, and the other attendants under her charge, hid the passports of the 40 Americans on board.

After 17 hours, the hijackers opened fire and set off explosives. Neerja opened the emergency door and helped a number of passengers escape. She did not herself escape, and became a martyr while shielding 3 children from a hail of bullets. Neerja was recognised internationally as "the heroine of the hijack" and is the youngest recipient of the Ashoka Chakra, India's highest civilian award for bravery.

A square called Neerja Bhanot Chowk is named after her in Mumbai's Ghatkopar (East) suburb by the Mumbai Municipal Corporation, which was inaugurated by Amitabh Bachchan in the early 90's.

Inner Happiness

The blossom of love

Living beyond the reach of i and mind, and of pain and pleasure, full of mercy, contented, self-controlled, with all his heart and all his mind given to Me — with such a one I am in love. 

Bhagwad Gita, 12.13

* 

The blossom of love will make the air fragrant; the river of love will murmur along the valleys; and every bird, beast and child will sing the song of love. 

Atharva Veda

* 

A life without love is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring. 

Oscar Wilde 

*

Love is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation. 

Rabindranath Tagore

The Battle Of Life

The one who is well armed for the battle of life - that is, possesses good qualities, becomes successful and prosperous - such a person experiences the real happiness.

Of all gains, good health is the greatest. Of all wealth, contentment is the greatest. Among kinsmen, the trusty is the greatest. Freedom is ultimate happiness.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi *

I believe that the very purpose of life is to seek happiness.

There is pleasure when a sore is scratched, but to be without sores is more pleasurable still. Just so, there are pleasures in worldly desires, but to be without desires is more pleasurable still.

Destiny Don't try to change

OneDay..Death came to a Guy and said:
"Hey, today is your last day!"
Guy: "But i'm not ready!".
Death said: "Well today your name is the first on my list...".
Guy:"Okay,then why don't you take a seat and We will drink a COFFEE before we go?"
Death:"All right.. ".
The Guy gave Death some COFFEE with sleeping pills in it.
Death finished COFFEE and fell into a deep sleep!!!
The Guy took the list & removed his name from top of the list and put at the bottom of the list! When Death woke up he said to the Guy:"Because you have been so nice to me, now I will start my job from the BOTTOM of the list.." !!!

Moral:Whatever is written in your Destiny ...

So Shri Krishna Says: "Tu karta woh hai jo tu chahata hai,
Par hota woh hai jo mai chahata hu! :) :)

What happens in heaven when we pray.

WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN WHEN WE PRAY?

This is one of the nicest messages I have rcvd and is so true:
I dreamed that I went to heaven and a Baba Ji(GURU) was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with Sewadars. Baba Ji stopped in front of the first section and said, ' This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to GOD in prayer are received.

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many
Sewadar's sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

Baba Ji then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them." I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many Sewadars working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one Sewadar was seated there, doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section, Baba Ji quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed." How is it that there is no work going on here? ' I asked.

"So sad," Baba Ji sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments".

"How does one acknowledge God's blessings? " I asked.

"Simple," Baba Ji answered. Just say, "Thank you, GOD. "

"What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked.

"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world 's wealthy. ""
if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity.."

"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day. "

"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... You are ahead of 700 million people in the world."

"If you can attend your Temple without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world."

"If your parents are still alive and still married ...you are very rare."

"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair......"

Ok, what now? How can I start?

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you care to, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are ....

ATTN: Acknowledge Dept.
"Thank you God, for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful people to share it with. "

Past and future are in the mind only

I am dying into your mystery, and dying, i am now no other than that mystery. I open to your majesty as an orchard welcomes rain, and twenty times that.

Jalaluddin Rumi *

Past and future are in the mind only - i am now.

Nisargadatta Maharaj *

In the present moment the whole past and the future is hidden. It contains the whole universe - past, present, future. Understand the present moment, and you have understood the whole phenomenon of eternity.

Osho *

Present-moment living, getting in touch with your ''now'', is at the heart of effective living. There really is no other moment you can live.

Wayne Dyer*
