Gnan Vidhi is a divine gift from Gnani Purush who has attained his soul and provides us a short cut means to attain ours. It does not require us to make any changes to our everyday routine. It is neither limited to a particular religion or sect. Gnan Vidhi is a purely 3 hour scientific process which brings about a separation between us and our soul.

Tôi đã học được từ cuộc sống: tôi phải luôn cẩn trọng vì những lỗi lầm tôi gây ra trong một khoảnh khắc, có thể làm tôi hối hận cả một đời.
Tôi đã học được từ cuộc sống: tôi có thể đúng khi giận giữ ai đó nhưng không thể chấp nhận bất cứ lý do nào cho việc tôi biến thành một kẻ tàn nhẫn với người khác.
Tôi đã học được từ cuộc sống: cho dù bạn bè tôi tốt như thế nào cũng sẽ có lúc họ làm tôi bị tổn thương và tôi phải biết tha thứ cho điều đó, kể cả người thân.

(3) This one is also in similar step, but ALSO looks like the guy just realized the bird is mimicking him and is about to run away.
He said I would believe he loved me
if I loved myself
but I knew if I loved myself
I couldn't love him.

Even in donkeys and cows I can see the Pure Soul within them, as an eternal element.

Towards the end of the Korean War, the USAF came to the realization that their transport fleet was becoming obsolete. The C-46 Commandos and C-47 Skytrains in service were no longer adequate, while the C-119 Flying Boxcar was having difficulties. In 1951, the USAF issued a requirement for a new tactical transport, an aircraft that would need to carry at least 72 passengers, be capable of dropping paratroopers, and have a ramp for loading vehicles directly into the cargo compartment. Moreover, it must be a “clean sheet” design, not a conversion from an existing airliner, and the USAF preferred it be a turboprop design. Five companies submitted designs, and six months later the USAF chose Lockheed’s L-402 design—over the misgivings of Lockheed’s chief designer, Clarence “Kelly” Johnson, who warned that the L-402 would destroy the company. Little was Johnson to know that, fifty years later, the L-402—designated C-130 Hercules by the USAF—would still be in production, and one out of only five aircraft to have over 50 years of service with the original purchaser.
The C-130 was designed to give mostly unfettered access to a large cargo compartment—the ramp forms an integral part of the rear fuselage, the wing is mounted above the fuselage, and the landing gear is carried in sponsons attached to the fuselage itself, while the fuselage has a circular design to maximize loading potential. The high wing also gives the C-130 good lift, especially in “high and hot” situations. The Allison T56 turboprop was designed specifically for the Hercules, and has gone on to become one of the most successful turboprop designs in history.
After two YC-130 prototypes, the Hercules went into production as the C-130A in 1956, to be superseded by the improved C-130B in 1959. The latter became the baseline Hercules variant: C-130As had three-blade propellers and a rounded “Roman” nose, while the B introduced the more familiar, longer radar nose and four-blade propellers. (Virtually all A models were later retrofitted to the long nose, though they kept the three-blade propellers.) In the 50 years hence, the basic C-130 design has not changed much: the C-130E introduced underwing external fuel tanks, while the C-130H has a slightly different wing. Even the new C-130J variant only introduced new engines with more fuel efficient six-bladed propellers: the basic design remains the same. Lockheed also offers stretched versions of the Hercules, initially as a civilian-only option (the L-100-30); the British Royal Air Force bought this version as the C-130K and it was later adopted by other nations, including the United States.
The basic C-130 is strictly a transport aircraft, but the versatility of the aircraft has meant it has been modified into a dizzying number of variants. These include the AC-130 Spectre gunship, the HC-130 rescue aircraft and WC-130 weather reconnaissance version. Other versions include several dozen EC-130 electronic warfare/Elint variants, KC-130 tankers, and DC-130 drone aircraft controllers. The USAF, the US Navy, and the US Marine Corps are all C-130 operators as well. Besides the United States, there are 67 other operators of C-130s, making it one of the world’s most prolific aircraft, with its only rivals the Bell UH-1 Iroquois family and the Antonov An-2 Colt biplane transport. C-130s are also used extensively by civilian operators as well as the L-100 series.
The “Herky Bird,” as it is often nicknamed, has participated in every military campaign fought by the United States since 1960 in one variation or the other. During Vietnam, it was used in almost every role imaginable, from standard transport to emergency bomber: as the latter, it dropped M121 10,000 pound mass-focus bombs to clear jungle away for helicopter landing zones, and it was even attempted to use C-130s with these bombs against the infamous Thanh Hoa Bridge in North Vietnam. (Later this capability was added as standard to MC-130 Combat Talon special forces support aircraft; the MC-130 is the only aircraft cleared to carry the GBU-43 MOAB.) It was also instrumental in resupplying the Khe Sanh garrison during its three-month siege. Hercules crews paid the price as well: nearly 70 C-130s were lost during the Vietnam War. In foreign service, C-130s have also been used heavily, the most famous instance of which was likely the Israeli Entebbe Raid of 1976, one of the longest-ranged C-130 missions in history. C-130s are often in the forefront of humanitarian missions to trouble spots around the world, most recently in the 2011 Sendai earthquake disaster in Japan.
As of this writing, over 2300 C-130s have been built, and most are still in service. It remains the backbone of the USAF’s tactical transport service; attempts to replace it with the Advanced Tactical Transport Program (ATTP) in the 1980s and to supplement it with the C-27J Spartan in the 2000s both failed, as the USAF realized that the only real replacement for a C-130 is another C-130.
Built as a C-130B transport for the USAF, 58-0712 entered service in 1959, but may not have ever been assigned to an actual squadron. Instead, it served as a testbed, though it never got the JC-130 testbed designation. In the early 1960s, it was modified as the only C-130C, which added two underwing jets; these were not for additional thrust, however, but to bleed air over a modified wing for boundary layer research. The idea was that the air would provide more lift, allowing the C-130 to land and take off on even smaller airstrips. However, in tests it was proven that the C-130C actually needed more runway than a standard C-130--the weight of the jets actually negated the effects of the boundary layer system. As a result, 58-0712 was modified back to a standard C-130B.
58-0712's story wasn't quite over yet. After being returned to the USAF, the aircraft was transferred again, this time to NASA as a NC-130B research aircraft in 1969. The nose was modified to hold a larger radar, and sensors were fitted so that the NC-130B could be used on Earth Survey mapping missions, filling in the gaps that the satellites of the time could not fill. After the Earth Survey 2 project finished, 58-0712--now N707NA--would remain with NASA, flying as a testbed from either the Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, California or the Dryden Research Center at Edwards AFB. Finally, in 2000, N707NA was retired to AMARC in Arizona. Though attempts were made to sell the aircraft to private ownership, by 2017 it was handed over to Aircraft Restoration and Marketing, just west of Davis-Monthan AFB, for use as a spares source for other C-130s.
Today, 58-0712/N707NA sits without wings and engines, gathering dust, the desert slowly obliterating the NASA color scheme. It still retains some of its colors, as well as the MC-130 style nose radome. It serves as one of the centerpieces of the Boneyard Safari tour, but its eventual fate is probably to be scrapped--a sad end for a historic aircraft. We saw it in June 2024--this was the last aircraft I photographed on the Safari trip, before the heat got to me and I had to call it a day. I'm from Montana...I can't handle this Arizona heat!

After Self Realization, how can we maintain our connection with Jesus christ? How can we deal with loneliness arising on adoption of a path which is different from majority of people living around?

A sad realization struck me as i watched the sun sink into nothingness: It's true that earthly beauty disappears and erodes with time. How sad it will be on that day when the sun refuses to show her face upon a world so starved for her affection?
We know that this world is filled with the Lord's wonderful creation yet we know also that this is merely a taste of what is to come. Like looking at a beautiful sunset through a shattered mirror, so it is when we compare the vibrancy of this life to the awe-striking glories that will be reveled to us in Heaven.
So rather than sinking into melancholy with the setting of the vibrant sun, im reminded of the multifaceted intrigue that lies within beauty's image. It's at that moment that an ever-growing appetite--a prolonged yearning to understand Heaven's beauty--is born inside of me.
Much to my surprise, there was very little editing done to this image...a touch up on the contrast and the addition of black gradients to the sides of the image to create a frame.

This is not my body
My soul doesn’t mirror
Where did I lost it?
Harmonize me!
Floating in blur
Dear me,
Buy some shoes
And run
Joël and me were sick of sitting home, without LP action. Because locations ran out in our hometown, we searched the net for a descent location. So we picked an abandoned factory near the German border.
We didn't know what the night would bring, but all went well. From being on time, to scouting for the entrance, no bum encouter, just a cat and some bats, to enjoy the adventure, to take some great LP shots and a safe trip home =)
