పక్షవాతం - పేకముక్కల చికిత్స
పక్షవాతం – పేకముక్కల చికిత్స
ఒక పెద్దాయనకు పక్షవాతం వల్ల కుడిపక్కన అవయవాలన్నీ చచ్చుబడిపోయి చలనం లేకుండా పోయింది. వైద్య చికిత్స వల్ల ఫలితం అంతగా కనిపించడం లేదు. అతనికి మాటలు రాక జ్ఞాపకశక్తి కూడా నశించిపోయింది. వారి భార్య పరమాచార్య స్వామి వారి వద్దకు వెళ్ళి కళ్ళ నీరు కారుస్తూ తన గోడు చెప్పుకుంది. “మహాస్వామి వారు కరుణించి నా భర్తను మళ్ళా మామూలు మనిషిని చేయవలసినది” అని ప్రార్థించింది. స్వామి వారు కొద్దిసేపు మౌనంగా ఉన్నారు. ”అతను…

నీటి ఎద్దడి – పంపుసెట్టు
అది సూర్యుడు ప్రచండంగా ఉన్న ఎండాకాలం. పల్లెల్లో నీటి ఎద్దడి చాలా ఎక్కువగా ఉంది. నదులు, చెరువులు అన్నీ ఎండిపోయాయి. చాలా ఇళ్ళల్లో బావులు కూడా ఎండిపోయాయి. ఉన్న నీళ్ళనే ఊరివారందరూ పంచుకుంటున్నారు. అలాంటి ఒక నీటి ఎద్దడి ఉన్న గ్రామప్రజల అభ్యర్థన మేరకు మహాస్వామి వారు వచ్చి ప్రజలకు దర్శనం ఇస్తున్నారు. ఆ ఊర్లోని పేద-ధనిక, మంచివారు-చెడ్డవారు, విధ్వాంసుడు-అవివేకి అనే తేడా లేకుండా ప్రతిఒక్కరూ స్వామివారి…

బాదంపప్పు - భిక్ష
బాదంపప్పు – భిక్ష
మేము తంజావూరులో ఉన్నప్పుడు ఒకరోజు తెల్లవారుఝామున పరమాచార్య స్వామివారు నా కలలో కనపడ్డారు. వారు నన్ను “నాకు బాదంపప్పు తేగలవా?” అని అడిగారు. వెంటనే మేము బాదంపప్పు కొని కాంచీపురం దగ్గర్లోని ఒరిక్కై అనే పల్లెటూరికి వెళ్ళాము. అప్పుడే పరమాచార్య స్వామివారు అన్నభిక్ష మాని కేవలం పేలాలు మాత్రమే తినడం మొదలుపెట్టారు. మేము తెచ్చిన బాదంపప్పు మహాస్వామి వారి భిక్షకు ఉపయోగించాలంటే ఎవరికి ఇవ్వాలో మాకు అర్థం…

Even though Signor Geri arrived at the convent in advance of Galileo’s letter announcing his mission, Suor Maria Celeste surrendered her keys to him without hesitation.Geri served as a trusted link to her father throughout this period, and no one but her father could have informed him that she held the needed keys in safekeeping. These must have opened a certain closet or cabinet in Galileo’s study. For surely Geri could have obtained keys to the gate and doors of the villa from Signor Rondinelli, who enjoyed free access to Il Gioiello, or from La Piera, the housekeeper, who would have opened any door to his familiar face—he being, as Sestilia’s brother, practically a member of the family. But only Suor Maria Celeste could help him unlock the trove of private papers. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTFXPTnhhSK/?utm_medium=tumblr
Bliss is something quite distinct from happiness and misery. Happiness and misery are gained through [experiences of] the mind. Bliss is something totally different; after the death of the mind, what the soul gains through God is bliss. Happiness and misery are due to the mind, while bliss exists on account of the soul. Bliss cannot be described. It cannot be grasped. It is to be experienced. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTEO1RTh0Cg/?utm_medium=tumblr
If Galileo looked “more dead than alive,” as Ambassador Niccolini had described him when he returned from his April questioning by the Holy Office, how must he have appeared at Siena in July, after these many more weeks and traumas? The injustice of the sentence tormented him so that he did not sleep for several nights but could be heard crying out, babbling and rambling in distraction. The archbishop feared for his safety to the point where he considered binding Galileo’s arms to keep him from accidentally injuring himself in bed. Piccolomini determined to restore the man’s broken spirit and return his thoughts to scientific pursuits. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTCKRTXM7s5/?utm_medium=tumblr
Sometime later that July or August, a messenger smuggled a copy of the Dialogue across the Alps, with the help of clandestine agents, to Strasbourg, where the Austrian historian Mathias Berneggar began to prepare a Latin translation that would be ready for general distribution throughout Europe by 1635. In 1661, an English version of the Dialogue appeared, translated by Thomas Salusbury. The prohibition of the book by the Index endured for a long time, but not with a long arm outside Italy. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTCD33Xspfn/?utm_medium=tumblr
In the summer of 1633, spurred by these events, a lively black market trade sprang up around the banned Dialogue. The price of the book, which had originally sold for half a scudo, rose to four and then to six scudi as priests and professors across the country purchased copies to keep the inquisitors fromcornering the market. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTCC1NSsHGb/?utm_medium=tumblr
Urban rejected the idea of the pardon, but he consented to let Galileo leave Rome at last. With Cardinal Barberini’s intervention, Galileo was consigned for the first five months of his prison term to the custody of the archbishop of Siena, who had already offered to send his personal litter to ensure safe, speedy conveyance to his palace. The Dialogue duly appeared on the next published Index of Prohibited Books, in 1664, where it would remain for nearly two hundred years. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTB9rVsM96V/?utm_medium=tumblr
Even though the opinion of Copernicus had been rescued from the shame of heresy in 1616, Galileo, for his exposition of Copernicus, now stood “vehemently suspected of heresy” himself. Only seven of the ten inquisitors affixed their signatures to the sentence. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTAIaNmBeGC/?utm_medium=tumblr
In mid-June she once more cautioned her father against hasty departure, urging him to stay put, away from “these perils, which in spite of everything continue and may even be multiplying; and in consequence an order has come to our Monastery, and to others as well, from the Commissioners of Health, stating that for a period of 40 days we must, two nuns at a time, pray continuously day and night beseeching His Divine Majesty for freedom from this scourge. We received alms of 25 scudi from the commissioners for our prayers, and today marks the fourth day since our vigil began.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CS89hUQhLty/?utm_medium=tumblr
In the weeks following the Madonna’s visit, the death toll from the plague alternately dipped and climbed, so that the full extent of the miracle she had wrought did not become clear until September 17, 1633, when the authorities declared Florence officially free of contamination. https://www.instagram.com/p/CS87Tk_hMjP/?utm_medium=tumblr
“As for your returning here under these prevailing conditions,” Suor Maria Celeste worried in her next letter, “I can guarantee you neither resolution nor assurance on account of the contagious pestilence, whose end is so urgently desired that all the faith of the city of Florence is now vested in the Most Holy Madonna, and to this effect this morning with great solemnity her miraculous Image was carried from Impruneta to Florence, where it is expected to stay for 3 days, and we cherish the hope that during its return journey we will enjoy the privilege of seeing her.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CS85s6khvU2/?utm_medium=tumblr
Whereas Galileo believed that Nature followed a Divine order, which revealed its hidden pattern to the persistent investigator, Urban refused to limit his omnipotent God to logical consistency. Every effect in Nature, as the handiwork of God,could claim its own fantastic foundation, and each of these would necessarily exceed the limits of human imagining—even of a mind as gifted as Galileo’s. https://www.instagram.com/p/CS6rMx2B_vl/?utm_medium=tumblr
Unbeknownst to him, the grand duke had decided to stop paying Galileo’s bills there, expecting him to cover his own expenses henceforward. Ferdinando offered no explanation for this uncharacteristically ungenerous action, but he may have been moved by Urban’s warnings in the Galileo affair, by the April incarceration of another Florentine citizen—Mariano Alidosi—in the prisons of the Holy Office, and by the fiscal strain of paying for the ravages of the plague. https://www.instagram.com/p/CS6qIhwMUBY/?utm_medium=tumblr
As a Christian I believe that God— my Heavenly Father—not only created the universe, but He controls it. And, by extension, God owns the University of Michigan and everything else. I never did explain. https://www.instagram.com/p/CS4WMulMiy-/?utm_medium=tumblr
Someone questioned Baba, “If it is done with a feeling of devotion, is it bad for a person who has no time to pray himself to have it done through a medium?” In reply, Baba stated: This is total foolishness and completely absurd. It is an excuse and a useless pretext. It does not hold water. It is an insult to one’s common sense. Can prayer, worship or entreaties to God ever be hired? It is beyond one’s imagination. While still being lured by maya, it is like throwing the burden of one’s actions on the shoulders of others and paying them money to take one to God. It is a pretense for keeping oneself immersed in mayavic pleasures. A person says, “I have no time to pray.” Why not? Because he is unwilling to spare time for it. It is a meaningless excuse to cover up their preoccupation with the world and lack of time due to their desire to remain involved in mayavic pursuits. The mind is entrapped in maya and does not want to be freed; and so to achieve merit, hired prayers are being offered. Can this ever result in any meritorious action or virtue? https://www.instagram.com/p/CS3MKM9Bxej/?utm_medium=tumblr
