Sri Ramakrishna's teachings on Interfaith
"Every man should follow his own religion. A Christian should follow
Christianity and a Mohammedan - Mohammedanism. For the Hindu, the ancient path -
the path of the Rishis is the best.
A truly religious man should think that other religions are also many paths
leading to the Truth. One should always maintain an attitude of respect towards
other religions".
As one and the same material, viz. water, is called by different names by different people--one calling it 'water,' another 'vâri,' a third 'aqua,' and another 'pani'--so the one Sat-kit-ânanda, the Everlasting-Intelligent-Bliss, is invoked by some as God, by some as Allah, by some as Hari, and by others as Brahman.

Destruction
Old age destroys beauty.
Hope destroys patience.
Death destroys life.
Anger destroys a fortune.
Serving a wicked person destroys good qualities.
Lust destroys shyness, while Pride destroys EVERYTHING.
(Mahabharata, Udyog Parva)

The history of Ada
Overview
An understanding of the reasons why Ada was developed and the history of its development gives an appreciation of the language and its future.
History of Ada.
In 1974 the US Department of Defence (DoD) realised that it was spending too much time, effort and money developing and maintaining embedded computer systems (systems stuck in hardware e.g. missile guidance systems).
At this time over 450 different languages or language extensions were in use. This increased the time and costs for developing new systems and in continually retraining people to become familiar with existing systems. Maintenance was also hampered by the lack of standardisation of support tools ( editors, compilers etc). All these factors led to the DoD realising it needed a single powerful language that could be used by all embedded computer suppliers.
The developement work began in 1975 with the DoD producing a list of language requirements which was widely circulated; however no existing language specified the criteria so in 1977 DoD requested proposals for a new language. Unlike committee languages such as COBOL, the new language was the subject of a competition and extensive industry and academic review.
Of numerous entries four were selected for further refinement. This was later cut down to two competing entries from which one was finally selected from the company Cii-Honeywell Bull. This language was christened Ada. The design team was led by Jean Ichbiah who had overall control over the language.
In 1983 the language became an ANSI standard ANSI/MIL-STD-1815A. It became an ISO standard the following year. The language is defined in a reference manual often referred to as the LRM. References to this manual occur often in books on the language, and in many compiler error messages. This book is recommended for any Ada site; although hard to read it is the final authority for any Ada question (an ongoing group has been formed to clarify any inconsistancies detected in the language).
The language has since undergone revision, with ISO standardisation of the new standard achieved in early 1995. This new Ada fixes many of the flaws in the original language, and extends it in many useful ways.
To prevent the proliferation of various imcompatable versions of Ada the Ada Joint Program Office (the body set up for control of the language) took a very novel position - they trademarked the name Ada. You were not allowed to market "Ada" compilers unless they have passed a compliance test. This has subsequently been relaxed, the protected term now being `Validated Ada'.The resulting Ada validation certificate is limited in duration and has an expiry date. Once it expires the compiler can no longer be marketed as a `Validated Ada' compiler. In this way the AJPO has ensured that all currently marketed compilers comply with the current standards.
The aim is to ensure that any Ada program can be compiled on any system - in this regard the AJPO has succeeded better than many other language groups.
Design Goals
From the Ada LRM:"Ada was designed with three overriding concerns: program reliability and maintenance, programming as a human activity, and efficiency"
Of note is the sentence, also from the LRM:
"Hence emphasis was placed on program readability over ease of writing".
These design goals can be seen in the language. It has strong typing and enforcable abstractions which have shown to increase reliability and ease maintenance.
It eschews cryptic syntax for a more verbose English style for the sake of readability (readability, programming as a human activity). Also almost all constructs can be efficiently implemented.

Upanishad
Upanishad is fundamental HINDU book.
Many instances we never had a chance to even see VEDAS, Upanishad and Bhagavad Gita.
Here I attach my link where I have given permission for you to download them, if you like:

The intention is to evoke a healthy thinking and attain a good understanding of what Hinduism means.

I realize, the base music in blood diamond, is somehow close to this piece of music from Yanni. A nice music with a message of love and tolerance. Good to hear and watch it!! Just hold to your chairs!!

Do we care for our parents...???
This was narrated by an IAF pilot to IIT students during a Seminar on Human Relations:
"Venkatesh Balasubramaniam (who works for IIT) describes how his gesture of booking an air ticket for his father, his maiden flight, brought forth a rush of emotions and made him (Venkatesh)realize that how much we all take for granted when it comes to our parents.
My parents left for our native place on thursday and we went to the airport to see them off. In fact, my father had never travelled by air before, so I just took this opportunity to make him experience the same.
In spite of being asked to book tickets by train, I got them tickets on Jet Airways. The moment I handed over the ticketsto him, he was surprised to see that I had booked them by air. The excitement was very apparent on his face, waiting for the time oftravel. Just like a school boy, he was preparing himself on that day and we all went to the airport, right from using the trolley for hisluggage, the baggage check-in and asking for a window seat and waiting restlessly for the security check-in to happen. He was thoroughly enjoying himself and I, too, was overcome with joy watching him experience all these things.
As they were about to go in for the security check-in,he walked up to me with tears in his eyes and thanked me. He became very emotional and it was not as if I had done something great but the fact that this meant a great deal to him. When he said thanks, I told him there was no need to thank me.
But later, thinking about the entire incident, I looked back at my life. As a child, how many dreams our parents have made come true.Without understanding the financial situation, we ask for cricket bats, dresses, toys, outings, etc. Irrespective of their affordability, they have catered to all our needs. Did we ever think about the sacrifices they had to make to accommodate many of our wishes? Did we ever say thanks for all that they have done for us?
Same way, today when it comes to our children, we always think that we should put them in a good school, regardless of the amount of donation. We ensure that we will have to give the child the best theme parks, toys, etc. But we tend to forget that our parents have sacrificed a lot for our sake to see us happy, so it is our responsibility to ensure that their dreams are realized and what they failed to see when they were young. It is our responsibility to ensure that they experience all those and their life is complete.
Many times, when my parents had asked me some questions, I have actually answered back without patience. When my daughter asks me something, I have been very polite in answering.
Now I realize how they would have felt at those moments. Let us realize that old age is a second childhood and just as we take care of our children, the same attention and same care needs to be given to our parents and elders. Rather than my dad saying thank you to me, I would want to say sorry for making him wait so long for this small dream. I do realize how much he has sacrificed for my sake and I will do my best to give the best possible attention to all their wishes.
Just because they are old does not mean that they will have to give up everything and keep sacrificing for their grandchildren also. They have wishes, too. Take care of your parents. THEY ARE PRECIOUS."
