| With Atlantis being cleared for return to earth after repair of its thermal shield, Indian- American astronaut Sunita Williams on Sunday said the problems faced by the US space shuttle showed that spaceflight is “still dangerous”.
“We take spaceflight for granted and it’s still pretty dangerous,” Williams, who set to return to Earth on Thursday after setting a record for the longest uninterrupted space flight by a woman, said at a press conference from space.
Atlantis was on Saturday given clearance to return to Earth next week, as the shuttle’s heat shield, which suffered a tear during lift off on Friday, was repaired by Mission Specialist Danny Olivas.
Adding to NASA’s concerns was the failure of computers that control the space station’s ability to orient itself and produce oxygen. But NASA officials said the crew was never in danger of running out of oxygen, power or essentials.
“We are living in an environment that is not really friendly for humans ….(The space station is) not just a tourist vacation place. It’s a serious place and we are doing serious business and serious science up here,” said 41-year-old Williams, who began her space journey on December 10.
NASA has been sensitive about the space shuttle’s heat shield ever since the Columbia accident killed seven astronauts, including India-born Kalpana Chawla, in 2003.
A piece of insulating foam from the shuttle’s external tank came loose during launch, striking Columbia’s wing and allowing fiery gases to penetrate it during re-entry.

| LONDON, Jan 8 (Reuters Life!) - For sale: the world’s smallest country with its own flag, stamps, currency and passports.
Apply to Prince Michael of Sealand if you want to run your own nation, even if it is just a wartime fort perched on two concrete towers in the North Sea.
Built in World War Two as an anti-aircraft base to repel German bombers, the derelict platform was taken over 40 years ago by retired army major Paddy Roy Bates who went to live there with his family.
He declared the platform, perched seven miles off the east coast of England and just outside Britain’s territorial waters, to be the principality of Sealand.
The self-styled Prince Roy adopted a flag, chose a national anthem and minted silver and gold coins.
The family saw off an attempt by Britain’s Royal Navy to evict them and also an attempt in 1978 by a group of German and Dutch businessmen to seize Sealand by force.
Roy, 85, now lives in Spain and his son Michael told BBC Radio on Monday his family had been approached by estate agents with clients “who wanted a bit more than a bit of real estate, they wanted autonomy.”
He suggested Sealand, which has eight rooms in each tower, could be a base for online gambling or offshore banking.
Asked to describe the delights of living on what he described as a cross between a house and a ship, the 54-year-old said: “The neighbors are very quiet. There is a good sea view.”

Seema Hakhu Kachru
Houston, Dec 16 (PTI) Indian-American Sunita Williams will make her debut spacewalk along with veteran astronaut Robert Curbeam late tonight as the two will try to complete the crucial task of rewiring the International Space Station and fix its solar array.
41-year-old Sunita, who became the second woman of Indian descent to venture into space after Kalpan Chawla, said she was all “excited” to go out and check the planet.
“It should be pretty nice…. It is a great opportunity. Hopefully, it will go just the same and we’ll be just as good,” a smiling Sunita, dressed in a red tee shirt and blue trousers with her loose hair flowing uncontrollably upwards in the zero gravity of the space station, told reporters from the space lab where she joined the Expedition 14 crew.
Spacewalking astronauts rewired half of the orbiting lab on Thursday and Sunita and Curbeam will try to complete the task. If they have time they will try to fix the solar array which is part of the space station’s temporary power system.
Aware of the excitement she has generated among Indians, Sunita, who has brought with her a copy of the Bhagavad Gita, a small statue of Lord Ganesh and a letter written in Hindi by her father, said she wanted the people of India to dream like her, for “if you belive in it, it will come true.” Sunita, who will remain aboard the ISS for another six months, said “It’s just a nice place to live.” The spacewalk, scheduled to begin at 1:37 p.M. US time today (0107 IST Sunday), is the last scheduled mission aboard Discovery. PTI

I recently joined AGLOCO because of a friend recommended it to me. I am now promoting it to you because I like the idea and I want you to share in what I think will be an exciting new Internet concept.
AGLOCO’s story is simple:
Do you realize how valuable you are? Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE!
AGLOCO thinks you deserve a piece of the action.
AGLOCO collects money from those companies on behalf of its members. (For example, Google currently pays AOL 10 cents for every Google search by an AOL user. And Google still has enough profit to pay $1.6 billion dollars for YouTube, an 18-month old site full of content that YouTube’s users did not get paid for!
AGLOCO will work to get its Members their share of this and more.
AGLOCO is building a new form of online community that they call an Economic Network. They are not only paying Members their fair share, but they’re building a community that will generate the kind of fortune that YouTube. But instead of that wealth making only a few people rich, the entire community will get its share.
What’s the catch? No catch - no spyware, no pop-ups and no spam - membership and software are free and AGLOCO is 100% member owned. Privacy is a core value and AGLOCO never sells or rents member information.
So do both both of us a favor: Sign up for AGLOCO right now! If you use this link to sign up, I automatically get credit for referring you and helping to build AGLOCO. http://www.agloco.com/r/BBBH2142

04TH DECEMBER 2006
Celebrate Life
Today Onwards Celebrate Laughter ,One Hour Everyday In The Afternoon . 04th December 2006 ‘Universal Laughter Hour And World Laughter Day ‘Launched By
Her Holiness Maha Maya’Ananta’This Is The Greatest Humanitarian Launch In The History Of MankindHer Holiness Maha Maya Ananta had written for this blog last week on “meditate on laughter “which she considers very important for the welfare of human beings.
Today evening at one of her houses in New Delhi India, she launched “Universal Laughter Hour “at a brief ceremony attended by close friends and relations.
On being asked about the time in the day she said, any time is good time for laughing and meditating .However for a uniform time and as a daily chore she astrologically chose the sun meridian time. Which the eastern philosophers believe to be the finest time of the day. This is the time you can choose to do any auspicious thing.
Meditation and Laughter are both very auspicious .Since this is in dynamic form it defies all other gravitational diversions related with the meditation as per few sages and their schools of thought.
Sun Meridian Time – Actually it is always Sun Meridian time as Sun is always shinning some where in the sky 24×7.
However take the time when the sun rises in your city and take the sun set time, for example sun rises at 6 a.m and sets at 7 p.m. the number of hours from 6a.m to 7p.m is 13 hours. Divide 13 by 2 and the result comes to 6.5 hours; add this to the sun rise time of 6 a.m and the result is 12:30 p.m in the afternoon. Now 30 minutes before 12:30 and 30 minutes after 12:30 is the Sun Meridian Mime and the most auspicious time of the day. In the above example it is 12 p.m to 1 p.m in the afternoon. The Sun Rising and Sun Set times vary by seasons and one can adjust it accordingly. We cannot define a common time for every body because of the time differences all over the world. The above system will suit the human beings world over. SO The one hour in the afternoon when you are also, light on the stomach is launched as the humour and laughter hours of the day to help improve the lives of people all over the world.
On being further requested by Sri Sri Viraat Sri to emphasize the importance of Laughter , Her Holiness Maha Maya Ananta , graciously explained There are many Universes and infinite number of Gallexies and Trillions of Suns , Moons and Stars in the Cosmos . Earth is like a grain of wheat in the Universe . Leave aside speculations , our heavenly Planet Mother Earth is the only planet which harbors Life and Human Beings live here .We the thinking , talking and capable of Smiling and Laughing Human Beings live on this marvelous planet created by the God the Universal Soul as the Research Lab and the School of Learning for us the Spiritual Beings in the Human Experience . Universe is full of Abundance and Affluence . God created everything out of nothingness and gave the humans the same powers as HE created the man in his own image.
The Abundance and Affluence is visible and flowing extravagantly .Sun gives it light energy to all , lavishly and equally. Moon gives its loving light to all equally .Universal life force energy is flowing Abundantly .Wind blows equally for all .
The Astronomers even located a Planet in our Solar System which is a complete Big Diamond and can serve all Human Beings for all times due the weight of diamond it has .All the Planets are giving their vibrations as per their qualities.
We harness electricity from the Sun, Water, Wind and other Natural Resources.
Yet there are inequalities in the world .Few people have cartelised the businesses and cornered the world’s wealth.
Most beautiful part is that there is no patent on laughing, smiling ,dancing , meditating and breathing , if it was possible these people would endeavour to tax these natural luxuries also .These are individual preferences .These are not governed by any language or laws religion .
There are 6 Billion plus people in the World. Inhaling the Universal Prana the Universal Life Force Energy , enjoying Sun light , Moon light and the Winds of the Universe , Waters of the Rivers and the Oceans .
When the Prana is active the mind keeps chattering.
That is why when you meditate, become aware of yourself and do not chase thoughts, remain an observer without judging , the thoughts vanish and there is a quiet mind . Awareness is the greatest power of the Universal Soul and is like fire which sweeps the thoughts away.
Trillions of thoughts cross the minds of 6 billion plus peoples on the heavenly planet mother earth every minute. Each individuals mind scans and the brain filters the ones as per the individual’s nature and behavior.
Human Beings get inputs from all around with their Senses. Whatever they see, hear, touch, taste, smell goes into ether. The Universal Collective Mind gets the data acting as a super computer with the human minds connected to it as personal computers.
Human minds are always chattering and are always in chaos .There are no moments in the individuals mind where they feel at peace and stop transferring data to the Universal Consciousness.
Meditation , Laughter, relax the mind , body and soul and quiet the mind. One minute of thoughtlessness is equal to, hours of rest for the whole system of the human body. Laughter improves the health and changes the attitude . Human minds are full of negativities , positivites, ambitions , desires ,dreams , hatred , violence, relationships , addictions , cruelty , terrorism , jealousy , family issues , frustration , difference of opinions, competition and so on. These necessarily need to be addressed . Most of the diseases are psychosomatic.
The 1 hour Meditative Laughter helps address all the above unwanted adjectives.
Laughter is Infectious. Start laughing during the one hour defined - everyday you’ll be doing a great service to yourself , mankind and the Universals Soul .Your infectious Laughter will spread like a virus around you and then to the whole world making the Universal Soul Laugh out of love and enjoy seeing his children in much superior states of minds .
Six billion people in the world laughing everyday will create the greatest state of mind which everybody loves to have. The beauty of love and peace thus created shall ascend to the Universal Soul as an expression of gratitude and the trillions of positively reformed thoughts shall descend back to 6 billion plus minds allowing their brains to filter and utilize qualitative thoughts thus making the heavenly planet mother earth the abode of the noblest in the Universe.
Every institution from nursery schools to the United Nations , board room of the companies , private and government sector offices and individuals must define their lunch breaks necessarily consisting of humour and laughter hour. This will shape a new world , improve performances and results make people healthier ,wealthier wiser and remove negativities, psychosomatic diseases and increase efficiencies and create positive thinking mind , body , soul among 6 billion plus people and become th Universal Mantra .
Positive people will deal positively with others bringing more Universal Grace, Abundance and Affluence, equality and great opportunities for all the Human Beings in the World . Start shaping the world now. Meditate and Laugh and keep breathing deeply and also belly breathing . You may also use music and dance .This will create new channels in your brain to absorb more superior knowledge flowing from the Universal Soul and make you a Co - Creator with the God .
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction .Thoughts are living entities crossing living minds. Thoughts are energy impulses full of information ; the thoughts can become monstrous or noble. Thoughts make a man and the world around . Let the 6 billion plus people drape their thoughts with happiness and present ourselves the children of God as his real images and Co - Creators.
We are the light and sound vibrating and dancing energy and the children of God the Universal Soul. Let us vibrate the omnipresent, omnipotent, Universal Soul with our Laughter .
Join The Movement of Abundance, Affluence and Prosperity . Don’t Let This Moment Pass . Shape the World Now . Create A New World Now .

The earlier article by Her Holiness Maha Maya ” meditate on laughter ” is reproduced below for every bodies convenience.
MEDITATE ON LAUGHTER
Meditate on laughter, what a combination. Meditation is a mind play while the laughter is predominantly a body play.Meditation has many great advantages which are known to the human beings. Laughter also has many great advantages which the humans have been ignoring. We human beings are the only creatures of the universal soul who are gifted with capabilities of smiling and laughing.Many researches are being conducted on the advantages of humor and laughter to the mental and physical well being of the human beings. All these add up to spiritual development .Laughter rejuvenates the body, flexes the muscles, improves respiration and helps cardiovascular and skeletal systems .It increases the production of anti bodies and reduces stress hormones.
Meditate on laughter – meditation is not concentration it is being aware of your being and communicating with the Universal Soul . Meditation is not to be judgmental of the thoughts crossing the mind . Just be aware and do not follow the thoughts. Just be an observer to find the quiet mind.
Meditation is not necessarily to be done in quietness or silence or at an isolated place. Meditation can be dynamic, dancing and laughing.
Meditate on laughter – find a comfortable place and posture .Start laughing as per your lungs capacity and for the duration it is comfortable to you . Also do belly breathing . If it pleases you may also start dancing while laughing . Become aware of yourself . Laugh- laugh –laugh and become the laughter yourself . While you are aware of your being not chasing any thoughts and not being judgmental , it will be the laughter and you. By practice you become the laughter yourself.
Mind and body at play while you are meditating on laughter .The yoga of union of the mind-body –soul occurs. Your mind body and soul have become one with the universal soul . You will become master of yourself and experience the changes in your life and attitude everyday. Meditate and laugh your way to health , wealth and success.
Her Holiness Maha Maya Ananta

| Religion transcends science-Where science ends religion begins- ‘OSHO’ . This is a historical fact known and acknowledged by the world that India’s sage scientist ‘Aryabhat’ invented ‘ZERO’ ‘0’ .Zero is the most important part of the numerals without which the world cannot function.
In the ancient times because of lesser population and pollution, the skies of the universe were free from the cluttering thoughts, images and sounds of the human minds.
Indian sage scientists had direct communication with God the universal father and soul.
During Narsimha Rao’s government in India in the early nineties ,one small town lawyer raised this issue when the government of India signed the WTO and DUNCAN arrangements with world bodies .His raising the issue of the patent of ‘0’ ‘ZERO’ of India stormed the country . The news was blasted all over in the print and electronic media.
The issue created so much of heat that the parliament of India, the largest democracy in the world, was forced to take up this issue for discussion.
People say this hot news reached the White House in America while Bill Clinton was the president. President Bill Clinton asked his secretary of commerce to urgently arrange a top cabinet meeting to discuss the issue. In the meeting the president asked the secretary of commerce to explain the situation .She said that the world acknowledges the historical fact that Aryabhat the great Hindu sage scientist of India had invented the ‘0’ ‘zero’ on which today’s world economies and science functions. Infact nothing functions without ‘zero’.
The noble president of the U.S.A asked the lady, the secretary of commerce to express the amount of damage it could cause to the U.S.A if the Indians are granted the rights to the patent of ‘zero’.
She calculated and explained that Unites States of America would be sold to India within a week of granting them the patent of ‘zero’ due to the number of zero’s U.S.A punches every second. The entire U.S economy of trillions of dollars will be at the mercy of the Indians in South Asia.
All the members of the cabinet including the mighty president were stunned and stone freed for a few moments.
The president asked the lady in a low tone what can the Indians do if we do no grant them the patent of zero. She replied Mr. President we are the mightiest super power currently in this world on the planet earth. The Indians cannot do anything if we do not allow them the patent rights of zero.
President grinned and announced the meeting is dismissed and we’re not gonna allow them the patent ‘0’ at the cost of America’s future .Let them do what they can, if they can. Indians could not help it and the matter subsided.
The truth remains that Indian sage scientist not only invented ‘0’ but also invented decimal and calculated the distances from the sun and moon and other planets in our solar system without the scientific labs and the telescopes ,but through there meditative minds.
All true Indians worldwide are invited to rise and continue to participate in this greatest debate and give their comments on this blog, until it reaches its logical conclusion.
This can change the cause of history of the future.
Join into create a new history.
Love God, Love Yourself,
Be Blessed,
Her Holiness Maha Maya
