Love of God that will put you over the top!

Here is something I found in my E mail one day. I found it inspiring indeed so I am sharing it with you all.

The question is can one conclude with mathematical certainty that : While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Now, take a look at this...
Can we ever achieve 101% ?
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:
If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If: H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K
8+1+18+4+23 + 15+18+11 = 98%
And: K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E
11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E- O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

A Trip to Kavi Kamboi - The Temple of Stumbeshwar Mahadeva

As the Winter months draw close I start looking out for good places of interest - Places that I can take my students groups for a Picnic. This February 2009 was a fantabulous trip to Stumbeshwar Mahadev’s Temple at Kavi Kamboi. Kavi Kamboi is a small town about an hour and a half away from Baroda. The sea shore view as you can see in the photos is truly overwhelming.

This Panoramic beauty Spot also houses one of the oldest Lord Shiva Temples called Stumbeshwar Mahadeva. The Unique feature of this temple is that the Shiv Ling is actually immersed in Sea water half of the day and is open for public view and Darshan only during the low tide.

A wonderful marvel of nature indeed. As if nature has taken upon itself the sanctifying task of the Ling Abhishek which is a very powerful and Holy ritual of Lord Shiva Worshippers.

Needless to say my students and teachers had a great time on the shore playing cricket, volley ball, throw ball and gorging on the lovely food prepared by our trip advisor Pandyaji.

It was a trip to remember, we all spent hours taking in the fantastic view of nature at its best.
