What is this number represent,

And why is it so important?

1) In one minute, we breathe in approximately 15 times,

In 1 hour 900 times,

And in 12 hours 10800 times,

And in a day 10800 * 2 times.

A day consists Of 24 hours, and if we set aside half the day

For our day to day routines,

Then one can spend 12 hours

For recitation of ones idol.

Therefore, the

Maximum number of times

That one can recite

"mantra", or perform "Jap" are 10800.

If one wants to obtain 100% benefit of its jap,

Then performing

Jap 108 times will give you the benefit of 100%.

That's why in a "Mala",There are 108 beads.

It is written in Vedas,

That 1 Jap corresponds to1 mala (which has 108 beads),

Therefore performing jap of 108 malas willResult in 100% benefit.

2) Astronomically, there are 27 constellations

In our galaxy, and each one them Has 4 directions, and 27 * 4 = 108,

In other words the number 108 covers

The whole galaxy.

3) According to Indian scriptures,

Letter 9 corresponds to

Lord Brahma (the creator of universe).

Mathematically,

The interesting property of 9 is

9x1 = 9

9 x 2 = 18 (8+1 = 9)

9 * 3 = 27 (7+2 = 9).

.....................

9 * 12 = 108 (1+0+8 = 9)

Reasons Why we Indians Cannot be Terrorists

1. We are always late - we would have missed the flight which was meant to be hijacked.

2. We would talk loudly and bring attention to ourselves.

3. With free food & drinks on the plane, we would forget why we're there in the first place

4. We talk with our hands - therefore we would have to put our weapons down.

5. We would ALL want to fly the plane .

6. We would a argue and start a fight in the plane.

7. We can't keep a secret ; we would have told everyone a week before doing it.

8. We would have put our country's flag on the windshield.

9. We would have postponed the mission because a cricket match was going on that day

10. We would all have fallen over each other to be in the photograph being taken with one of the hostages

Difference between http:// and https://...

MOST PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE OF:

**The main difference between http:// and https:// is It's all about keeping you secure**
HTTP stands for Hypertext Transport Protocol, which is just a fancy way of saying it's a protocol (a language, in a manner of speaking) for information to be passed back and forth between web servers and clients.
The important thing is the letter "S" which makes the difference between HTTP and HTTPS. The S (big surprise) stands for "Secure". If you visit a website or webpage, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http:// This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular 'unsecured' language. In other words, it is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with the website. If you fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site. This is why you never ever enter your credit card number in an http website!
But if the web address begins with https:// that basically means your computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can eavesdrop on. You understand why this is so important, right? If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card information, you should automatically look to see if the web address begins with https:// If it doesn't, there's no way you're going to enter sensitive information like a credit card number.

PLS READ FULLY BY SPENDING FEW MIN OF YOUR LIFE WHICH SAVES MANY LIFES

The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy
this doll. Then the little boy turned to me and asked: ''Uncle, are you sure I don't have enough money?''


I counted his cash and replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy the doll l, my dear.'' The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.


Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this
doll to. 'It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much. I wanted to Gift her for her BIRTHDAY.


I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it
to my sister when she goes there.' His eyes were so sad while saying this. 'My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.''


My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.' Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me 'I want mommy to take my picture with her so my sister won't forget me.' 'I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.' Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.


I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. 'Suppose we check
again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?''
'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough.' I added some of my money to his with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.


The little boy said: 'Thank you God for giving me enough money!'
Then he looked at me and added, 'I asked last night before I went to
sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that

mommy could give It to my sister. He heard me!'' 'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy,

but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.'


I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I

couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local
news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The

family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining
machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy?


Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news
paper that the young woman had passed away.. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a

beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and
the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling
that my life had been changed for ever.


The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still,
to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk
driver had taken all this away from him.

Please DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE.

SAVE INDIA

Dear Friends,

Please spare a couple of minutes here........ for
the sake of India ... our country...

State of our economy from day to day life,
A Small example,

Before 10 months 1 CAN $ = IND Rs 32
After 10 months. Now it is 1 CAN $ = IND Rs 40

Do you think Canadian Economy is booming? No,
but Indian Economy is Going Down.

Our Economy is in u'r hands

INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country unlike
many other ASIAN countries is undergoing a
severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN industries
are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a
crisis and if we do not take proper steps to
control those, we will be in a critical situation.


More than 30000 crore rupees of foreign
exchange are being siphoned out of our country
on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea,
beverages... etc which are grown, produced and
consumed here .


A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paisa to
produce is sold for NINE rupees, and a major
chunk of profits from these are sent abroad.
This is a serious drain on INDIAN economy.


"COCA COLA "and" SPRITE" belong to the same
multinational company, "COCA COLA"?
Coke advertisements says ' JO CHAHO HOJAYE,
COCA COLA ENJOY'
(Whatever the hell, let it happen, you drink coke)
What can you do?

You can consider some of the better alternatives
to aerated drinks.
You can drink LEMON JUICE, FRESH FRUIT
JUICES, CHILLED LASSI (SWEET OR SOUR),
BUTTER MILK, COCONUT WATER, JALJEERA,
ENERJEE, MASALA MILK........ ..

Everyone deserves a healthy drink, including
you!
Over and above all this, economic sanctions have
been imposed on us. We have nothing against
Multinational companies, but to protect our own
interests we request everybody to use INDIAN
products only for next two years. With the rise in
petrol prices, if we do not do this, the rupee will d
evalue further and we will end up paying much
more for the same products in the near future.


What you can do about it?

1. Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY
INDIAN COMPANIES.
2. ENROLL as many people as possible for this
cause.

Each individual should become a leader for this
awareness.

This is the only way to save our country from
severe economic crisis. You don't need to give-up
your lifestyle. You just need to choose an
alternate product.

All categories of products are available from
WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.
