BHAGAVAD-GITA 10:41

yad yad vibhutimat sattvam
srimad urjitam eva va
tat tad evavagaccha tvam
mama tejo-'msa-sambhavam

WORD FOR WORD
yat yat--whatever; vibhuti--opulences; mat--having;
sattvam--existence; sri-mat--beautiful; urjitam--glorious;
eva--certainly; va--or; tat tat--all those; eva--certainly;
avagaccha--must know; tvam--you; mama--My; tejah--of the splendor;
amsa--a part; sambhavam--born of.

TRANSLATION
"Know that all opulent, beautiful and glorious creations spring from
but a spark of My splendor."

PURPORT by HDG Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
Any glorious or beautiful existence should be understood to be but a
fragmental manifestation of Krsna's opulence, whether it be in the
spiritual or material world. Anything extraordinarily opulent should
be considered to represent Krsna's opulence.

When elephants fight it is the grass that suffers.

- African proverb

MORAL:
Try to resolve problems with the end goal in sight.

For example, there's an analogy of two sons who each had a gripe against the other massaging their father. As they massaged his body, one either side of him, they decided to use his forum to chastise the oposing brother.
So I lean across to your side and pinch our father hard on that side - to which he responds in chastising you. BUT then you lean across to my side and pinch him harder, to which he turns and chastises me.

As with so many problems or discrepencies in this world, we foolishly become engrossed in inflicting pain on other neglecting to notice who is the immediate and long term sufferer.

You show your love for me by how you co-operate......Your Ever Well Wisher.
--------------------------------------------------------------
In India there's an interesting little saying much similar to the western "Don't count your chickens before they hatch", it is "Don't grease your mousetach before you climb the jackfruit tree".

The explaination for those who don't know the nature of Jack fruit is that they are very sticky. So if you are going to eat one, a ripe one, then many people, especially those sporting moustaches apply some barrier like ghee or oil to stop the jack fruit from sticking.

Consequently if you grease your hands in applying the barrier to the mousetache then you cannot grip the tree to climb.

Thus, "Don't grease your mousetach before you climb the jackfruit tree".

--------------------------------------------------------------
Minestrone Soup
There are many varieties of this world-famous Italian soup. This one"Minestrone alla Milanese" is practically a meal in itself. Serve it with fresh bread and salad. For best results, start the soup well in advance of serving time and cook slowly.
PREPARATION AND COOKING TIME: 2 hours 50 minutes
YIELD: enough for 6 - 8 persons
2 tablespoons (40 ml) olive oil
1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) yellow asafoetida powder
1 cup (250 ml) tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup (125 ml) dried borlotti beans or kidney beans, soaked overnight in cold water
2 tablespoons (40 ml) chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon (20 ml) chopped fresh parsley
8 cups (2 litres) water
1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
1 stick of celery, diced
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 medium zucchinis, sliced
2 cups (500 ml) shredded cabbage
3/4cup (185 ml) fresh peas
1 1/2 teaspoons (7 ml) salt
1 1/2 teaspoons (7 ml) freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon (20 ml) rice-shaped pasta (Risoni) or broken spaghetti
1/2 cup (125 ml) parmesan cheese

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Saute the asafoetida in the hot oil until it becomes aromatic, and then add the tomatoes, drained soaked beans, basil, parsley, and water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours or until the beans are soft, stirring occasionally.
2. Add the carrots and celery and simmer for another 1/2 hour. Add the potatoes, zucchini, cabbage, peas, salt, and pepper. Ten minutes later add the pasta. After 10 minutes, if the potato, zucchini, cabbage, and peas are tender, turn off the heat. If the soup becomes too thick, add hot water as required. Let the soup sit for 5 minutes; then add the parmesan cheese, reserving some to sprinkle on the individual soup bowls. Serve hot.

Polenta is a yellow maize or cornmeal grown in northern Italy. Regarded there as a staple food, it can be used in many ways after it has been prepared as a rather thick porridge. Plain boiled polenta can be grilled, baked, or, as in this recipe, fried. Served with Tomato Relish and sprinkled with parmesan cheese, it makes a delicious side dish.
PREPARATION AND COOKING TIME: 40 minutes
POLENTA STANDING TIME: 4 hours
YIELD: enough for 6 - 8 persons
8 cups (2 litres) water
2 teaspoons (10 ml) salt
3 1/2 cups (875 ml) cornmeal (polenta)
90 g (3 ounces) butter
3 tablespoons (60 ml) olive oil

1. Bring the water and salt to a boil in a 6-litre/quart saucepan over full heat. Gradually sprinkle the cornmeal over the water, stirring constantly with a wire whisk. Make sure that there are no lumps of cornmeal.
2. Reduce the heat to low. Continue to stir the polenta mixture until it is very thick (approximately 10 minutes).
3. Leave the polenta over low heat for about another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. It will be ready to remove from the heat when a wooden spoon will stand upright in the centre of the mixture and not drop to the side of the pan.
4. Spoon the mixture into an oiled 28 cm x 18 cm (7-inch x 11-inch) dish. Smooth out the mixture and leave to cool at room temperature for at least 4 hours.
5. Carefully turn the slab of polenta out of the tin and cut it in half lengthways. Cut each half into seven slices crossways, each one 4 cm (1/2 -inches wide.
6. Heat the butter and oil together in a heavy frying pan. When hot, add about 6 slabs of polenta to the frying pan and reduce the heat to low. Fry gently until the polenta is dark golden brown on each side. Place the polenta onto a serving dish and serve with Tomato Relish and parmesan cheese.

Italian Eggplant and Tomato Appetizer
In the realm of Italian Cuisine, antipasto (appetizers) come in varied forms, much like the Middle Eastern equivalent, mezze. Savoury breads (crostini), vegetable salads, miniature pizzas (pizzette), and asorted simple vegetable entrees would feature as vegetarian anti-pasto. Here is my version of Anti-pasto di Melanzane, from Naples. Serve it at the outset of a main meal.
PREPARATION AND COOKING TIME: 30 minutes
YIELD: enough for 4 to 6 appetizer-sized portions
2 medium eggplants, washed
1 cup (250 ml) oil (not olive oil)
1/4cup (60 ml) olive oil
1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) yellow asafoetida powder
3 ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 tablespoon (20 ml) tomato paste
1/2 cup (125 ml) water
1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
1/2 teaspoon (1 ml) freshly ground black pepper

1. Cut the eggplants into 1/2 cm (1/4-inch) slices. Cut each slice into strips 6 cm (2 1/2 inches) long and 1/2 cm ( 1/4 -inch) wide.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over moderately high heat. When the oil is hot, add enough eggplant strips to fill the frying pan. Shallow-fry the eggplant until it becomes soft. Remove the eggplant from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain.
3. Heat the olive oil in another frying pan over moderate heat. When the oil is hot, add asafoetida, tomatoes, tomato paste, and water. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes or until the sauce is thick.
4. Add the salt and pepper, mix well, and carefully add the eggplant. Serve either hot or cold.

Eggplant Parmigiana
Eggplants lend a certain richness to this classic Mediterranean baked savoury dish: layers of crumbed and battered eggplant fillets baked with herbed tomato sauce and parmesan cheese. Degorge the eggplants before using them; that is, the eggplants are treated with salt to remove excess bitterness, also allowing them to soak up less oil when they are fried. Try serving Eggplant Parmigiana with Mediterranean Salad, Minestrone soup, and Bread rolls for a delightful summer luncheon.
DEGORGING TIME: 30 minutes (optional)
PREPARATION AND COOKING TIME: 40 minutes
BAKING TIME: 40 minutes
YIELD: enough for 8 - 10 persons

Sauce
1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
3/4 teaspoon (7 ml) yellow asafoetida powder
2 medium red peppers, finely diced
1/2 stalk celery, finely diced
6 cups (1.5 litres) tomato puree
2 teaspoons (10 ml) dried oregano
1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried marjoram
2 tablespoons (40 ml) fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) ground cloves
2 tablespoons (40 ml) brown sugar
2 teaspoons (10 ml) salt
2 cups (500 ml) grated parmesan cheese

For fried eggplant
ghee or oil for deep-frying
2 cups (500 ml) wholemeal flour
2 teaspoons (10 ml) salt
1 teaspoon (5 ml) black pepper
water for batter
3 large eggplants, sliced into 1 1/4 cm ( 1/2-inch) fillets (approximately 12 slices)
1 cup (250 ml) cultured buttermilk
2 cups (500 ml) bread crumbs

To degorge the eggplants (optional)
1. Rub salt on the eggplant slices and let them sit for half an hour. Rinse the eggplant slices thoroughly with cold water and dry them with paper towels.

To make the sauce
1. Heat the olive oil over high heat in a heavy saucepan. Saute the asafoetida; then add the minced red peppers and celery. Stir-Fry for a few minutes. Add the tomato puree, herbs, spices, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to the boil, reduce the heat, and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.

To batter and fry the eggplant
1. Heat the ghee or oil for deepfrying until it reaches about 185°C/365°F. Combine the flour, salt, pepper, and cold water to form a medium-thick batter. Dip a few slices of eggplant in the buttermilk, roll them in bread crumbs, and dip them into the batter. Fry them in the hot ghee or oil until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain. Repeat this procedure until all the eggplants are cooked.

To assemble the casserole
1. Preheat the oven to 180°/355°F. Spread one-third of the tomato sauce in a deep casserole dish (about 25 cm x 30 cm [10 inches x 12 inches]). Place half of the eggplant slices on top. Carefully pour and spread another one third of the tomato sauce on top and sprinkle on half the parmesan cheese. Layer the rest of the eggplant in the dish; then pour on the rest of the tomato sauce. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese. Bake for 40 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

Note: As an alternative, serve the fried, crumbed, and battered eggplant fillets hot, on individual platters, with a generous spoonful of sauce and parmesan cheese.

Italian-style Lemon Doughnuts
A friend's grandmother from Tuscany, Italy, parted with this recipe for doughnuts (called Bomboloni). Serve them hot at afternoon tea for a delicious treat.
PREPARATION TIME: a few minutes
DOUGH RISING TIME: 2 hours
FRYING TIME: 5 minutes each batch
YIELD: 15 - 20 doughnuts
4 cups (1 litre) plain flour
3/4 cup (185 ml) caster sugar
pinch of salt
75 g (2 1/2 ounces) butter, softened and cut into pieces
3 teaspoons (15 ml) fresh yeast dissolved in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) warm water
finely grated rind of 1 lemon
ghee or oil for deep-frying

1. Sift the flour into a bowl and stir in 1/3 cup (85 ml) of sugar and the salt. Mix well. Make a well in the centre and add the butter, the yeast water, and the lemon rind. Mix well, adding enough lukewarm water to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth, shape into a ball, and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in bulk. Punch the dough down with your fist.
2. Roll out the dough into a long rope and cut into 15 or 20 even-sized portions. Roll each into a smooth ball. Place on a buttered baking sheet and let rise in a warm place for another hour. The balls should double in size.
3. Heat ghee or oil to 180°C/355°F in a wok or deep pan and very carefully lower 3 - 4 doughnuts at a time into the hot oil. Deep fry, maintaining a constant temperature, for about 5 minutes, turning often until the doughnuts are dark golden brown. Drain and dredge in the remaining sugar. Serve hot.

Once there was a man who became fed up with humanity and decided
to spend the rest of his life in a monastery.
The abbot warned him that he would have to take a vow of silence
and live the rest of his life as a scribe, to which the man
replied, "No Problem. I'm sick of talking anyway."
Ten years went by, and the abbot called for the man. He told him
that he was a model monk and perfect scribe, and that they were
very happy to have him. As per their tradition, he was allowed
to say two words. Asked if he had anything to say, the man
nodded and said:
"Food cold."
The abbot sent him on his way. Ten years later, he was brought
before the abbot again and once more told how pleased they were
with his performance, and that he was again allowed two more
words if he so chose. The man said:
"Bed hard," and was sent back to work.
Another ten years went by and again the abbot sent for the man,
telling him that he was the best monk they had ever had, and
that he was allowed another two words. The man nodded and said:
"I quit."
To this, the abbot replied in a disgusted tone: "Doesn't
surprise me. You've done nothing but complain since you got
here."

There were three Eskimos in Alaska, and one time while they were at their local cafe, they got to talking about how cold it was outside and how cold their igloos were. They could agree on everything but whose igloo was the coldest, so they decided to determine who indeed had the coldest igloo.

They went to the first Eskimo's igloo, where he said "Watch this!" and
poured a cup of water into the air. Well, the water froze in mid-air and
fell onto the floor solid.

"Not bad", said the other Eskimos, but each maintained their igloo was
colder still.

So they went to the second Eskimo's igloo, and he said "Watch this!" and
took a big breath and exhaled, whereupon his breath froze into a big lump and fell to the floor.

"Wow, that's colder than mine!" said the first Eskimo.
But the third Eskimo exclaimed his was colder still. So they ended up at
the third Eskimo's igloo. He said "Watch this!" and went into the
bedroom, threw back the thick furs, and retrieved one of several small
balls of ice there. He took one of them, put it in a spoon and held a match under it. When it heated up enough, it went "FFFAAAARRRRTTT".

And for those offended by this word:
Do you know how they discovered the word "fart"?
It is an acronym for: Finely Articulated Rectal Tremor

A family of devotees took their frail, elderly mother to the Bhaktivedanta nursing home and left her, hoping she would be well
cared for. The next morning, the nurses bathed her, fed her a tasty breakfast of Krishna prasadam, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden. She seemed okay, but after a while she slowly started to tilt sideways in her chair.

Two attentive nurses immediately rushed up to catch her and straighten her up. Again she seemed okay, but after a while she slowly started to tilt over to her other side. The nurses rushed back and once more brought her back upright. This went on all morning. Later, the family arrived to see how the old mataji was adjusting to her new home.
"So Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?"

"It's pretty nice," she replied. "Except they won't let me fart." (FOL)

Animal rights ad uses Turin Shroud

TURIN, Italy, Sept 29 (Reuters) - An animal rights group said on Friday it planned to use the Turin Shroud in an advertising campaign to persuade people to stop eating meat.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said it would unveil its campaign "Make a Lasting Impression -- Go Vegetarian" next week in Turin, where the shroud is on display in the city's cathedral.
Some Catholics believe the linen sheet bearing an image of a crucified man is Christ's burial cloth.

"PETA chose Jesus as its new "poster boy" because he is widely believed to have been a member of the Essenes, a Jewish religious sect that followed a vegetarian diet and rejected animal sacrifices," PETA said in a statement.

The Essenes were a first century Jewish sect known for their esoteric lifestyle and strict ritual observances.

A husband and wife returned home after a late party and
discovered that their patio door was open. In fact, the
lock on the handle was broken. They immediately called the
police.
While waiting for the police, the couple checked out the area
downstairs and could not find anything missing or vandalized.
When police did arrive, they were escorted upstairs. To
everyone's surprise, they found a man sleeping in the couple's
bed. He was wearing a set of ear phones connected to a stereo
system. Next to the bed was a large duffel bag filled with
compact disks, jewelry, cameras and other items this burglar
had planned on taking.
After his arrest, this man explained to detectives that he was
checking out the quality and sound of the stereo system to
decide if it was worth stealing. He tested the stereo's quality
by playing a compact disk of his favorite group. He got so
relaxed and involved in the music that he lost track of time and
even where he was. It was late and he became sleepy. When he
laid down on the bed he fell asleep. Apparently he had been
sleeping at least two hours before he was discovered.
After his arrest, he was linked to five other house break-ins
and was found guilty on all counts. He is now serving the first
of six prison terms.

I guess you could say that this criminal had to face the music!
