Avatar Film and Vishnu's 10th Incarnation

Resim
Infact it was a great night... We were six friends ...After a great burger & chips & beer dinner we went to the film... We were sitting one of the first lines so we were actually in the PANDORA... So I would like to share similarity between Avatar film and Hinduism according to my perception, intuition ... According to Wikipeida ; In Hinduism, an avatar [ˈəvət̪ɑːr] (avatāra: Devanagari अवतार, Sanskrit for "descent" [viz., from heaven to earth]) is a deliberate descent of a deity from heaven to earth, or a descent of the Supreme Being and is mostly translated into English as "incarnation", but more accurately as "appearance" or "manifestation". The term is most often associated with Vishnu, though it has also come to be associated with other deities. Varying lists of avatars of Vishnu appear in Hindu scriptures, including the ten Dashavatara of the Garuda Purana and the twenty-two avatars in the Bhagavata Purana, though...

My India-Cooking for a Large Indian Family

Resim
My younger son is six years old and he is going to preperation school before the primary school. Yesterday he invited his teacher for a dinner and asked me to cook an Indian food...Probably my sons father is Indian and we do cook sometimes Indian dishes at home... I beleive he is in love with his teacher ...Luckly enough she accepted my invitation and we will have fun next Friday... This reminded me my ''cooking adventure'' for a large Indian family during my stay in India...We were living like a local family...We hired a very small flat in Pune city near Mumbai. After the motorway I guess it takes almost 3 hours from Mumbai nowadays. It was 1+1 room flat with a small kitchen and small bath...We had only a small fridge and cooker in the kitchen. A cotton bed on the ground and a metal wardrobe in the bed room. No furniture in the living room...Honestly it was so hot to sit on any furniture...We were preferred to sit on the floor which was much cooler. I do not...

Spiritiualism and So On

Resim
When we say spiritualism , I beleive most of the people think something about ''religious'' or occult practises... Infact it could be anything but nothing at all about them... Nevertheless I beleive we were delibaretly made to beleive like this way so we could all be away from it...As we all know human nature and the free will can not be limited and controled by rules & punishments...Soon or later people would go away from such practises ... Word of spirit comes from ''siritus/spirare'' from Lantin Language...It means ''breathing''... Breath is the first experience in our life and also the last one... They say life is a journey between two breaths... Infact if we are breathing we are alive...Its the sign of life... The quality of our breathing also shows us the quality of our life...If you have long and deep breaths just like babibies than yes , you have healthy and balanced life in every meaning... We are not entiti...

Is Corporational Happiness Utopia?

Resim
This was the question which was asked in 2nd Corporational Hapiness Assembly ,I attened in İstanbul on 27th January ... I will share some info I noted in the event and also my view about the topic. It was very interesting meeting infact...There were many HR officers, investors, coaching and consultancy firms, even a space pyhsician beside the audience...They were all aggreed with below quotations... Salaries and all other benefits are not enough to make employee's happy and ofcourse no real impact on the loyalty...Especially for Y-Generations ... Happy people are nearer to success... ''Personal Awarness'' is above corporational awarness...( I take this as your corporations level of awerness&sofistication can not be higher than your employess..How are the organizations employee's , the organization is that...) Happy people have higher performance and this is the base of strong corporations... People lost their aim for life and work...(Very int...

Consume Only For Today

Resim
More than 20 years ago I was in a picnic with some bunch of people... Those days were my ''green days''... After the picnic I was not happy with the rubbish was spread around and suggested to collect it ... As I remember people were having fun with the idea...They were saying there were more serious problems for us such as wars, drugs, labour rights etc...Surely I was aggreed with all these facts ...But I could not simply bare us to ''polute'' the land ... Nevertheless after some negotiations we cleaned the area:) I said to people so that the enviromental issues will be our first priority after 20 years... So here we are... Birds are dying, hard to find clean water & air , foods are contaminated, lots of natural hazards etc....You know the story... 60 years ago world population was Billion 2.5 and now Bio 7... We consume crazyly ...If all of us consume like so called American sytle we need 4-5 more world...This is not my quote but ...

Bare Feet in Ephesus

Resim
When I was out with some friends few days ago I remembered my fascinating visits to Ephesus which I like to share here...   I visited the land with an Indian Yogi friend in mid 90's... Those days we were so young and not very much ''wise'' as this old man... After we got out from our car he very calmly removed his shoes and explained to us so that he wanted to walk in the ruins of Ephesus with bare feet... He said '' He could feel the energy/vibration of this land, people lived there ''... I remember we looked each other with wide open eyes with my friend...Vow... Than he did it... If everyhing is energy and if there is no lineer time than I should easily say he was just walking in the streets of real Ephesus in those days... He knew more than us about Ephesus infact... This ruin is near by Mother Mary house ...They are all in the town named Selçuk/İzmir. He explained us Mother Mary also came to Ephesus with one of Christ's disciple...I...
