Our congregation put together these "Blessing Bags", in male and female versions, to provide some basic toiletries and necessities to anyone we meet who might be in need.

Psalm 67:1-2

 

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.

 

Have a blessed Sunday everyone!

I think this will be the final photo I will post for 2012, everyone. I will just take a moment to reflect gratefully for the opportunities I’ve been given since I moved to Seattle almost six years ago. The path I could have taken, had things worked out in DC, would have completely eliminated my chances of fully engaging in my delirious passion for photography and personal travel.

 

My family and many of my closest friends, ironically, are very grateful the gig I desperately wanted so badly for several years did not work out and, in retrospect, I wholeheartedly agree. Had it happened, TIA International Photography would have been a mere figment of my imagination, and I would never have come to know any of you through this venue. I do believe in blessings in disguise, and unanswered prayers. Everything happens (or does not happen) for a reason. I thank God for His protection and providence thus far.

 

With my final photo of 2012, I wish all of you a joyful entry into the new year with blessings of happiness, prosperity, success, and good health.

Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns and men) deny?

 

He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the clay of pottery.

 

And the jinns did He create from a smokeless flame of fire.

Kohanim or Cohanim Hands – Priestly Blessing

On Jewish tombstones you will sometimes see a symbol showing two hands arranged for the Priestly Blessing like the example here. This is a symbol of the Kohen or Cohen (Hebrew for priest). The plural form is Kohanim or Cohanim. Kohanim are assumed to be direct male descendants of Aaron, who was the first Kohen and the brother of Moses. Some Jewish surnames frequently associated with this symbol are Conn or Cohn (Kohn), Cahn (Kahn), and Cohen (Kohen), but you will find the symbol on the grave markers of people with other surnames. Today families can sometimes verify a priestly lineage from the tombstones of ancestors that have this symbol.

When you think of life, think first about the blessings you have. Don't focus on misfortunes, for they are but a faint shadow.

Like a blessing this rain came... Life is so beautiful... so so beautiful!

"Lord bless you all ever and ever — and may He lead you quickly out of this big humbug, the world! May you never be enchanted by this old witch, the world! May Shankara help you! May Umâ open the door of truth for you and take away all your delusions!"

(Swami Vivekananda letter to Letter to Mary Hale - February 01, 1895)

In this pic, After Ganga Arti, this Aghori Baba (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aghori) appeared and the crowd nearly got mad to get a glimpse of him. He blessed everyone around and gave a "rudraksh" to everyone who came to him for blessings. This was shot when people were nearly fighting their way to reach him for blessing at Dsaswamegh Ghat at varanasi.

This day I took a little bit of altitude sickness, climbed the mountain peak of Taiwan acacia.

On this day I received the angel's blessing, to see this one as if it were calling me beautiful,
