(обновлено 2012-11-04)

Sing Along Brahma Samhita is an easy to use application that helps devotees learn chanting of Shri Brahma Samhita shloks perfectly. Even if we have the scriptural text, it becomes easier for us to chant prayers if we first hear it from a bona fide acharya. The audio track is sung by His Divine Grace B.S. Tirtha Maharaj, founder of Gaudiya Vaishnav Association (http://www.gva.in), and a bona fide acharya of Brahma Gaudiya Vaishnav Sampradaya.

For every set of verses in the screen, you have the option of pausing, restarting or resuming the audio. You can toggle between sanskrit and english transliteration for the verses. To start from beginning, The "First Shlok" button takes you to the beginning. This way, you can go at your own pace and learn to chant Shri Brahma Samhita easily.

It is advisable to chant this on every Ekadashi fasting day to please Lord Krishna or Shri Narayana or Shri Vishnu.

About Brahma Samhita:

According to Vedic tradition, these “Hymns of Brahma” were recited or sung countless millennia ago by the first created being in the universe, just prior to the act of creation. What we now have as Brahma-samhita is, according to tradition, only one of a hundred chapters composing an epic work lost to humanity. The text here surfaced and entered calculable history early in the sixteenth century when it was discovered by a pilgrim exploring the manuscript library of an ancient temple in what is now Kerala state in South India.

The pilgrim who rescued Brahma-samhita from obscurity was Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu—saint, mystic, religious reformer, and full incarnation of the Supreme Lord, Sri Krsna, descending into the present epoch for the salvation of all souls. After a southward journey from Puri (in Orissa State) that carried Him to holy places such as Sri Ranga-ksetra, Setubandha Ramesvara, and finally Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin), he turned northward and, traveling along the bank of the Payasvini River in Travancore state, reaches the temple of Adi-kesava, in Trivandrum district.

Upon beholding the holy image of Adi-kesava (Krsna) in the temple, Caitanya was overwhelmed with spiritual ecstasy, offered fervent prayers, and chanted and danced in rapture, a wondrous sight that was received with astonished appreciation by the devotees there. After discussing esoteric spiritual matters among some highly advanced devotees present, Sri Caitanya found “one chapter of the Brahma-samhita”.

Upon discovering the manuscript, Sri Caitanya felt great ecstasy and fell into an intense mystic rapture that overflowed onto the physical realm, producing a profusion of tears, trembling and perspiration. (We would search the literature of the world in vain to find a case in which the discovery of a lost book inspired such unearthly exhilaration!) Intuiting the Brahma-samhita to be a “most valuable jewel,” He employed a scribe in hand-copying the manuscript and departed with the copy for His return journey to the north.

“There is no scripture equal to the Brahma-samhita as far as the final spiritual conclusion is concerned,” exults Krsnadasa Kaviraja. “Indeed, that scripture is the supreme revelation of the glories of Lord Govinda, for it reveals the topmost knowledge about Him. Since all conclusions are briefly presented in Brahma-samhita, it is essential among all the Vaisnava literatures.”

感性は記憶を、意志を、超越する

人は何故音を知り、それに酔いしれる事ができるのか



■あらすじ

国境がその意味を失う目前の時代。若きピアニスト飯田敦信は憂鬱な日々を送っていた。
トッププロへの道は絶たれ、ただ成り行き任せに執った教鞭。目標を失い流されるように過す日々の中で、強烈なまでの劣等感だけが自らを苛む。

「一流でない」

その自覚と嫌悪は自らの芸術的感性を卑下させるのと同時に、亡国と化した故郷日本と「日本人である」自分を否定させようとする歪なコンプレックスでさえあった。



ある夏の日。
恩師から1通のメールを受け取った飯田はその奇妙な文面に眉を潜める。
「ある少女に音楽を理解させること」
だがその少女との出会いは、彼を芸術の原点へと立ち返らせる「驚くべき人生の楽典」の始まりに過ぎなかった。

a. Man the Machine. b. Personal Merit

[The Old Man and the Young Man had been conversing. The Old Man had asserted that the human being is merely a machine, and nothing more. The Young Man objected, and asked him to go into particulars and furnish his reasons for his position.]

Old Man. What are the materials of which a steam-engine is made?

Young Man. Iron, steel, brass, white-metal, and so on.

O.M. Where are these found?

Y.M. In the rocks.

O.M. In a pure state?

Y.M. No--in ores.

O.M. Are the metals suddenly deposited in the ores?

Y.M. No--it is the patient work of countless ages.

O.M. You could make the engine out of the rocks themselves?

Y.M. Yes, a brittle one and not valuable.

O.M. You would not require much, of such an engine as that?

Y.M. No--substantially nothing.

O.M. To make a fine and capable engine, how would you proceed?

Y.M. Drive tunnels and shafts into the hills; blast out the iron ore; crush it, smelt it, reduce it to pig-iron; put some of it through the Bessemer process and make steel of it. Mine and treat and combine several metals of which brass is made.

A Princess of Mars (v. 1.0)

AppMK опубликовал приложение 2012-11-01
(обновлено 2012-11-01)

A Princess of Mars is a science fiction novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of his Barsoom series. It is also Burroughs' first novel, predating his famous Tarzan series. Full of swordplay and daring feats, the novel is considered a classic example of 20th century pulp fiction. It is also a seminal instance of the planetary romance, a genre that became highly popular in the decades following its publication. Its early chapters also contain elements of the Western. The story is set on Mars, imagined as a dying planet with a harsh desert environment. This vision of Mars was based on the work of the astronomer Percival Lowell, whose ideas were widely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Anne of Green Gables (v. 1.0)

AppMK опубликовал приложение 2012-10-30
(обновлено 2012-10-30)

Anne of Green Gables is a bestselling novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery published in 1908. Set in 1878, it was written as fiction for readers of all ages, but in recent decades has been considered a children's book. Montgomery found her inspiration for the book on an old piece of paper that she had written at a young age, describing a couple that were mistakenly sent an orphan girl instead of a boy, yet decided to keep her. Montgomery also drew upon her own childhood experiences in rural Prince Edward Island. Montgomery used a photograph of Evelyn Nesbit, which she had clipped from New York’s Metropolitan Magazine, and pasted the framed clipping on the wall of her bedroom, as the model for the face of Anne Shirley, the book's main character.
