			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another month passes by. The number of readers/page views (around 5k/month) is growing day by day. The number of email subscribers is also growing. This is one passion which is taking around 20hrs/week. But I am happy because I am getting to know lot many people.  I did not know I will get such an encouragement and suggestions from readers. Now I have lot many online friends. Every mail I get is a boost. And I have been getting few of them every week. <br />Thanks to all my <font color="#ff0000"><i>offline</i></font> friends who were/are always behind me ( and posing for the picture too) in this effort. They are always full of ideas and help.I hope many other ideas of us will come online. And will be of interest to everybody.<br /><img alt="friends.JPG" src="http://www.eventsbangalore.net/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/friends.JPG" id="image333" height="215" width="589" /><br />Few weeks back I spoke a nice lady from <a href="http://www.margabandhu.com/">margabandhu</a> And she was interested to know about Bangaloreans and their interest in volunteering . Which gave me an idea about publishing the volunteering oppurtunities in Bangalore. Here is the new <a href="http://www.eventsbangalore.net/category/volunteer/">Volunteer</a> category  where you can find the posts on volunteer oppurtunities in and around Bangalore. If you work for NGO which needs volunteers; please send the information and I will try to spread a word about it.</p>
<p><b>Note on the sponsor side:</b><br />I have been trying to add inline links. Its online today. If you see any <font color="#ff6600"><u><b>orange</b></u>  </font>links; they are sponsored links. This is one of the ways to get back the hosting fees I am spending on this site. And I though it is necessary to let the readers to know that any link which is in <font color="#ff6600"><u><b>orange</b></u></font> is a <font color="#ff6600"><b>sponsored link</b></font>. And it is not necessary to visit them.Let me know what you feel. If it very obtrusive or awkward; I will go ahead and remove them.</p>
<p>And in the end thanks to all the readers of the blog. Keep reading it and let your friends know about it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the third month the <a href="http://www.eventsbangalore.net">http://www.eventsbangalore.net</a> is up and running. Itӳ been lot of fun and hard work these three months. We have the no of hits growing in hundreds (if not in thousands) month after month. EventsBangalore gets around 5000 page views per month now.</p>
<p>The number of email newsletter subscribers is also growing. Itӳ around 100 now. Few of the email servers do not accept the mail from Zookoda (Newsletter service); I am trying to see what the problem is. Avoid subscribing using corporate email id. They tend to think anything regular as SPAM.</p>
<p>Its been lot of fun blogging at EventsBangalore. I am making lots and lots of friends online. Its nice to see people appreciating the work. Thanks to all who wished me and linked me. If you have any suggestions/comments please send it to me. I will try to implement.</p>
<p>Please suggest EventsBangalore to your friends.<br />Thanks and have wonderful weekend,<br />Thejesh GN</p>

<p><b>More details:<br /></b>
<p align="justify">The <a href="http://www.imperience.org/" class="font8ptLink">Imperience</a> regularly conducts  			      free training course in <a href="http://www.sriramchandra.org/PAM/pam.htm" class="font8ptLink">P.A.M</a>.                                 The course is held on Second Saturday and the                                 following Sunday of every month at select centres.</p>
<p align="justify">Unlike the other prevailing methods                                 of training courses, the course does not proceed                                 in a linear fashion from introducing the theoretical                                 structures built upon several levels of complex                                 ideas. The two-day course even as it would be                                 found later in the journey to Infinity, is structured                                 in such a way as to peel off layers and deeper                                 layers of understanding. </p>
<p align="justify">The various concepts are introduced                                 and reintroduced several times under different                                 concept structures for understanding the manner                                 in which the Reality is covered by the manifold                                 folds of mysteriously simple layers of consciousness.                               </p>
<p align="justify">Thus the course provides for                                 an interlocking matrix in which every concept                                 structure would be appreciated as integral to                                 the whole. Every topic is distinctly treated and                                 while it can be treated as a part yet it contains                                 the whole.</p>
<p align="justify">The course has a practical base                                 of <a href="http://www.imperience.org/Research/ResearchGuided.htm#stat" target="_blank" class="font8ptLink">meditative                                 experience</a>. An adept in meditation guides                                 the meditation that is of a duration of half-an-hour.                                 Three sessions of meditation are thus conducted                                 and every trainee gets a first hand experience                                 of the Unique Pranahuti or Unique Transmission                                 of Divine grace.** </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vande Mataram completes 100 years today. Not going into politics; lets sing the song Vande Mataram</p>
<p>Official Song can be <a href="http://india.gov.in/myindia/showfile.php?filename=http://india.gov.in/myindia/images/vande.mp3">downloaded</a> GOI web site.</p>
<p><blockquuote>Vande Mataram, the sacred mantra of patriotism, of which Rishi Bankim Chandra is the seer, brought under its spell many young men and women whom it converted into prophets of nationalism and fierce patriots who offered everything at the altar of the Mother. &#8220;If Bankim was the seer of the national mantra, Sri Aurobindo was the God-appointed high-priest and prophet,&#8221; says Sisir Kumar Mitra. In the words of Sister Nivedita, &#8220;Aurobindo came out with a new interpretation of Bankim Chandra&#8217;s song, &#8216;Bande Mataram&#8217;, which now leaped out of its comparative obscurity within the covers of a Bengali novel and in one sweep found itself on the lips of every Indian man, woman or child.&#8221; His superb contribution is his masterly rendering of Vande Mataram into English verse. Sister Nivedita, the embodiment of the ideal of spiritual-nationalism propounded by Swami Vivekananda, dedicated herself body and soul, for the cause of Motherland and she even resigned from the Ramakrishna Order to enable herself to plunge completely into the national movement. It was Sister Nivedita who requested Sri Aurobindo to shift the centre of his activities from Baroda to Bengal in order to carry out his Bhavani Mandir scheme. Another fierce patriot and prophet who came under the spell of &#8216;Vande Mataram&#8217; was Brahmabandhav Upadhyaya who remained a sannyasi throughout his life. He insisted that a man from every house should dedicate himself to the nation&#8217;s work, like the sannyasins of Ananda Math, and that every father should offer a son for the service of the Motherland.<br /></blockquuote></p>
