Mongolian Bible for Mobiles

In association with http://crosswire.org Bible in Mongolian Language is available for Mobiles.
This can be installed on Mobiles which use touch screen navigation (in lay man's language).
Those who want the Bible may contact me by email. The files will be sent by email which can be copied into mobile through computer, through blue tooth or USB cable.

Mongolian language Alphabets are similar to Russian, but not exactly same. They are easy to learn as they have some similarity to English Alpahabets in shape, but phonetically different.
May God help the Spread of Gospel in Mongolia.

What good will it be for a Man if he Gains the Whole World, Yet Forfeits His SOUL?

"What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?"

Pop Vocal Legend Whitney Houston is Found Dead!

The award-winning "I Will Always Love You" singer died at the age of 48. The timing of her death, the eve of the Grammys, the biggest music event of the year, makes the horrible news even more tragic to music world. She ruled the pop music world in the 80s and 90s.
The six time Grammy Winner had problems later with her married life and then with drug.

Sad that most of  world's Celebraties have a tragic end. They attain the zenith of their popularity and then battle with problems in private life and then have a tragic end.

Jesus said -"What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?"
Nothing in the world - fame, popularity, wealth or nothing can be given in exchange for the soul of a person.

But - Jesus gave His life to Save the Soul of a Sinner.
"For God so loved the world that he gave His One and Only Son Jesus Christ, that whoever believes in him SHALL not PERISH but have ETERNAL LIFE."

A contended life in this wolrd is possible only with the faith in Jesus, and also assurance of eternal life after death.

I Was Wondering!!!

I was wondering
How You hold water in the porous ground?
How You stop the Waves of the Ocean with sand?
And how the water freezes like a Rock?
And how the heavens lighten up in the thuderstorm?
How Snow flakes fall unending from the sky?

Oh, Its all marvelous!!!

Learn to Live

My work is of human nature.
Real life is all I know.
Don't ever confuse the two,  your life and your work.

You will walk out of  your work place this afternoon with only one thing that no one else has.
There will be hundreds of people out there with your same degree; there will be thousands of people doing what you want to do for a living.
But you will be the only person alive who has sole custody of your life.

Your life, your entire life. Not just your life at your work desk, or your life on a bus, or in a car, or at the computer. Not just the life of your mind, but the life of your Heart, Soul & Spirit.

People don't talk about the soul & spirit very much anymore. It's so much easier to write a resume than to craft a soul & spirit. But a resume is a cold comfort on a winter night, or when you're sad, or broke, or lonely, or when you've gotten back the job test results and you feel they're not so good.

I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good human. I am not the centre of the universe. I show up to people, I listen, I try to laugh.

I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today, because I would be a cardboard cut out. But I call them on the phone, and I meet them for lunch. I would be rotten or at best mediocre, if those other things were not true. You cannot be really first rate at your work if your work is all you are.

So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a manic pursuit of the next promotion, the bigger pay check, the larger house

Do you think you'd care so very much about those things if you blew an aneurysm one afternoon, or found a lump in your chest? Get a life in which you notice the smell of salt water pushing itself on a breeze over Seaside Heights, a life in which you stop and watch how a red tailed hawk circles over the water or the way a baby crawla with concentration when she tries to pick up a Cheerio with her thumb and first finger. Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter

Get a life in which you are generous. And realize that life is the best thing ever, and that you have no business taking it for granted. Care so deeply about its goodness that you want to spread it around. Take money you would have spent on beers and give it to charity. Work in a soup kitchen. Be a big brother or sister.

All of you want to do well. But if you do not do good too, then doing well will never be enough.

It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to take for granted the colour of our kids' eyes, the way the melody in a symphony rises and falls and disappears and rises again.

It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. I learned to love the journey, and the ultimate destination. I learned that it is not a dress rehearsal and that today, and more specifically ‘now’ is the only guarantee you get.

I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and utterly. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.

Consider the lilies of the field. Look at the fuzz on a baby's ear. Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a terminal illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

Life is short and enjoys it to the fullest with thanks to GOD who gave it.

And Finally, After the Journey on this Earth, Where You will be?
Have you ever thought?
Many people think, It is all over HERE.
But the REAL LIFE starts WHEN IT ENDS HERE.

God Bless You and Peace Be With You

They Disobeyed me and Tested me TEN Times!!!

At the gate of the Promised Land, when the people of Israel refused to enter Caanan and wanted to go back to Egypt, Lord says - These people who have seen my Glory and miraculous signs have Disobeyed and Tested Me 10 times!!! (Numbers 14:22)

Let us look what are the 10 ways in which people of Israel tested God and in which occassions.

(1) You have brought us from Egypt to kill in this wilderness? - Exodus 14:11 
People redeemed from the slavery of egypt by passover and the shedding of the blood of the lamb now when faced with Pharoah's army behind them and the Red Sea before them says!!

Do people redeemed by the blood of Jesus when faced with such situations also say so - You brought me to this faith to kill?

(2) What shall we drink? - Exodus 15:25
At mara they expected sweet water, but the water is bitter!
After drinking all the waters of the Blue River Nile in Egypt, they expect sweet water in wilderness!

Do you complain for lack of sweet things of this world?

(3) What will we eat? - Exodus 16:3
You have brought us to this wilderness to starve and kill.
We would have preferred to be killed before the flesh pots and after eating full!
Some people wants a full stomach even when they die.

Are you hungry for the worldly things?

(4) Can God provide for tomorrow? - Exodus 16:19 
God's promise is for provision for each day. Jesus taught "Give us this day our daily bread"
But people wants to pile up and hoard for tomorrow.
Even God's people have a lot of savings and invetsments planned for tomorrow.
But it will all rot and stink.

(5) Give us Water - Exodus 17:1-
Most serious rebellion against God. They rebelled and was about to stome moses.
Psalm 95 and Hebrews Ch 3 further elaborates how serious the rebellion of Israel was.
Will God be able to provided us with water in this rocky wilderness?
At Mara there were atleast some water.

The quarrel of the people led to the striking of the Rock at Horeb which symbolizes the future suffering & death of Jesus on behalf of rebellious mankind.

(6) Idolatory (and Immorality) Exodus 32
The moment the law (Ten Commandments) was given, they broke it and made a Golden calf to be their god. They were is sexual immorality and revelry.

Have you any idols in your life, more important than Jesus?

(7) Murmuring - Numbers 11:1-3
For no specific reason, they murmur.
A group of discontended people. They wont be contended at any time.

Do you murmur and are you discontended?
Paul says - I have learned to be contended even with and without

(8) Who will give us flesh? - Numbers 11:4-
They have contempt for the heavenly food manna and crave for flesh?

Does the spiritual matters bore you and you crave for wordly things?

(9) Let us send Spies and see whether the land is fit? (Numbers 13;1-, Duet 1:20-25)
God said - Behold the Promised Land which flows Honey & Milk is before you, you enter and posses.
But people said, Let us test the land through spies!

Do you want to test God's promise and then possess? You willnever possess!!

(10) We donot want the promised land, Let us go back to Egypt! - Numbers 14:1
A rebellious nation who rebell consistently against God and His promises
So they wandered for 40 years and their bodies were strewn in the wilderness.

Hebrew Chapter 3 advises us

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Psa 95:7
	Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: Psa 95:8
	When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Psa 95:9
	Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. Psa 95:10
	So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Psa 95:11
	Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
	But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
	For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; May God Bless You

"Every Third Child should be Killed in the Womb"?????!!! - Justice VR Krsihna IYer

Kerala's famous Juriprudist Justice V R Krsihna Iyer in a recent report to the Kerala Govt on "Women & Children's Welfare Code" recommended that every thrid child to parents should be killed in the womb for a welfare society!!
Alas, the right to live exists only for two children.
Does the unborn child or even the born ones can choose to be the first or second of the parent?

Mr Krsihna Iyer due to his old memory (He is 95 now) forgot that his parents had 7 children, and  all the five born after him - Ranganayaki, Vijayalakshmi, Meenakshi, Ramachandran and Lakshinarayanan would not have seen sunlight if he had made the recommendation immediately after his birth.!!!
In the secular world the unborn child has no right.
Bible is the only book which teaches about a God whose plan for an Individual is even before eternity.

Psalm 139v13-16 says that God sees and cares you while you had no form in your mother's womb:
¹³ For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

ABORTION IS MURDER more cruel than killing a born person.

Bible again says - Children are a blessing:

Children are a heritage from the LORD,
offspring a reward from him.
⁴ Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one’s youth.
⁵ Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their opponents in court.

Today even in the secular world Human Capital is the biggest Capital.
Indian Software Indsutry thrives on Intelligent Human Capital.

Many of the famous personalities would not have been alive today, If Krsihna Iyer's policy was implemented.
Krishna Iyer thinks that he is lucky that he was the second child!!!

Philosophy of LOVE

The philosophy of love transcends a variety of sub-disciplines including epistemology, metaphysics, religion, human nature, politics and ethics. Often statements or arguments concerning love, its nature and role in human life for example, connect to one or all the central theories of philosophy, and is often compared with, or examined in the context of, the philosophies of sex and gender. The task of a philosophy of love is to present the appropriate issues in a cogent manner, drawing on relevant theories of human nature, desire, ethics, and so on.

The Nature of Love: Eros, Philia, and Agape

 Love has a “nature,” a proposition that some may oppose arguing that love is conceptually irrational, in the sense that it cannot be described in rational or meaningful propositions.
In English, the word “love,” which is derived from Germanic forms of the Sanskrit lubh (desire), is broadly defined and hence imprecise, which generates first order problems of definition and meaning, which are resolved to some extent by the reference to the Greek terms, eros, philia, and agape.

a. Eros
The term eros is used to refer to that part of love constituting a passionate, intense desire for something; it is often referred to as a sexual desire, hence the modern notion of “erotic”.
Many philosophers hold that love is an intrinsically higher value than appetitive or physical desire. Physical desire is held the animal kingdom too. Hence, it is of a lower order of reaction and stimulus than a rationally induced love—that is, a love produced by rational discourse and exploration of ideas, which in turn defines the pursuit of Ideal beauty. Hence the physical love of an object, an idea, or a person in itself is not a proper form of love, love being a reflection of that part of the object, idea, or person, that partakes in Ideal beauty.

b. Philia
Philia entails a fondness and appreciation of the other. It is not just friendship, but also loyalties to family and political community, job, or discipline. According to Aristotle’s notion of philia, “things that cause friendship are: doing kindnesses; doing them unasked; and not proclaiming the fact when they are done” . This in another way is parental love too.
Friendships may also be based on the pleasure or utility that is derived from another’s company. A business friendship is based on utility–on mutual reciprocity of similar business interests; once the business is at an end, then the friendship dissolves.

c. Agape
Agape refers to the love of God for man.   It seeks a perfect kind of love that is at once a fondness, a transcending of the particular, and a passion without the necessity of reciprocity. It is sacrificial Love. The recepient may not deserve the love at all.
The concept is expanded on in the Judaic-Christian tradition of loving God: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might” (Deuteronomy 6:5) and loving “thy neighbour as thyself” (Leviticus 19:18). The love of God requires absolute devotion.
The universalist command to “love thy neighbor as thyself” refers the subject to those surrounding him, whom he should love unilaterally. Jesus Christ further elecated this love to a newer dimension when he said "Love Your Enemy".
He demonstrated in his life. "For God demonstrated His own Love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.......For if when we were enimies (to God) we were reconciled to God through the death of His own Son (Jesus Christ)" (1 Corinthians 5:8,10). (Bible)

Writer Apostle Paul sings of this Agape Love in his letter 1Corithians Chapter 13 (Bible)

The Beutiful song goes as below:

1 Corinthians 13

¹ If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ² If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. ³ If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. ¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
¹³ And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is (Agape) Love
