| Cause and effect, reincarnation play roles in Hindu philosophy - Evansville Courier-Press Posted: 12 Jun 2010 10:37 AM PDT Some of the main principles of Hinduism discussed in Upanishads (Vedic literature) include Karma (Law of Action), Reincarnation, Dharma (The Righteous Path) and All Pervasive Divinity. Karma The law of cause and effect forms an integral part of Hindu philosophy. This law is termed as karma, which means to act. In Sanskrit, karma means "volitional action that is undertaken deliberately or knowingly." Karma is the differentia that characterizes human beings and distinguishes them from other creatures of the world. The theory of karma supports the Newtonian principle that every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. Every time we think or do something, we create a cause, which in time will bear its corresponding effects. And this cyclical cause and effect results in reincarnation. It also explains the apparent inequality that is seen in this creation of a fair and extremely loving God. Hindu philosophy, which believes in life after death, holds the doctrine that if the karma of an individual is good enough, the next birth will be rewarding, and if not, the person actually may devolve into a lower life form. In order to achieve good karma, it is important to live life according to Dharma or what is right. Reincarnation Reincarnation is the natural process of birth, death and rebirth. At death, we drop off the physical body and continue evolving in the inner worlds in our subtle bodies, until we again enter into birth. We are not the body in which we live but the immortal soul which inhabits many bodies in its evolutionary journey through samsara. After death, we continue to exist in unseen worlds, enjoying or suffering the harvest of earthly deeds until it comes time for yet another physical birth. Reincarnation ceases when karma is resolved, God is realized and liberation (moksha) is attained. Dharma (The righteous path) When God created the universe, he endowed it with order, with the laws to govern creation. Dharma is God's divine law prevailing on every level of existence, from the sustaining cosmic order to moral laws which bind us in harmony with that order. Related to the soul, Dharma is the mode of conduct most conducive to spiritual advancement. (It is the ethical practice, duty and obligation.) When we follow dharma, we are in conformity with the truth that instructs the universe, and we naturally abide in closeness to God. Adharma (unrighteous path) is in opposition to divine law. All-Pervasive Divinity Hinduism upholds a wide array of perspectives on the Divine, yet all worship the one, all-pervasive Supreme Being hailed in the Upanishads. As absolute reality, God is unmanifest, unchanging, transcendent, who is beyond time, form and space. As pure consciousness, God is the manifest primal substance, pure love and light flowing through all forms as our self, existing everywhere in time and space as infinite intelligence and power. As primal soul, God is our personal lord, source of all the worlds, our father-mother who protects nurtures and guides us. God is the only absolute reality which is the basis for all existence (Sath), consciousness (Chith) and bliss (Ananda). Compiled by Mythili Gurram, member of the Tri-State Hindu Temple.

| Zac Efron covers Nylon Guys Magazine - Examiner Posted: 12 Jun 2010 01:58 PM PDT The soon-to-be 22 year-old actor is having his new film Me and Orson Welles, directed by Richard Linklater and starring Claire Danes released in November. In the film, Zac Efron plays an aspiring thespian who ends up in the first ever Shakespeare play ever staged on Broadway, Julius Caesar. Efron tells the magazine that this film is the first of his movies he has seen without wanting to get out! "It's the first time I've ever watched a movie [that I'm in] and in the end I'm like, 'OK! I didn't check my watch once!'" NYLON Guys went sailing with Efron in Vancouver to talk about his transition from Disney pin-up to serious actor. On whether celebrity albums are necessary: "If anyone asked themselves that, then we wouldn't have the crap we are listening to today. If your heart's not in it, don't do it. And don't do it for money. That's my philosophy." On Disney fame. "I try not to look at all of it. You can't enjoy or celebrate it; it's not a real thing. The face on the lunchbox and shit—you can't share that with your friends."

| Boucher's philosophy should suit Lightning's stars - msnbc.com Posted: 11 Jun 2010 10:13 PM PDT TAMPA Guy Boucher fielded all kinds of questions during his introductory news conference Thursday as the media tried finding out everything about the new Lightning coach. The 38-year-old is a relative unknown in NHL circles. His methods are considered unorthodox, his style a bit unconventional and his approach perhaps a bit radical. So needless to say, there were plenty of questions about Boucher's style of play. It was described in some reports as a 1-3-1 format, with one deep forechecker followed by a wave of a three-man unit - including a defenseman - with the other defenseman bringing up the rear. Most teams run a traditional 1-2-2 style, normally considered more of a trapping system made popular in the league the past 15-plus seasons. Boucher, however, said he doesn't run a particular style and force his players to adapt. "My systems change every year and I adapt myself to the kind of players I have," he said. "So, right now we're obviously looking at the roster that we've got and the possibilities and, therefore, all summer I'm going to prepare for the type of players we've got. And when you look at the type of players we've got - (Marty) St. Louis, (Vinny) Lecavalier and (Steven) Stamkos - they're offensive players and that certainly goes along with my philosophy of fast-paced hockey and very aggressive offense and defense." Former Lightning winger Mathieu Darche, who played for Boucher in Hamilton last season in the American Hockey League, found himself with a raised eyebrow and scratching his head when Boucher explained the system. It emphasizes an aggressive pursuit of the puck in all three zones on the ice with a few wrinkles, particularly in the defensive zone where players essentially put on a full-court press to take away time and space. Skeptics wonder if the style can make the transition from the minors and junior hockey to the top league in the world. "I think it's going to work, and the best way to describe it is as innovative and effective. It's a very aggressive style in the D zone, but at the same time it's low risk," Darche said. "With him, it's both (defensemen) into the corner on the puck, you ¬š smother everything in the corner. There is no cycle. It's like a triangle in the corner, and if you try to cycle, the guy is right there. "You don't hesitate. If you are the closest guy on the puck or the puck carrier is closest to you, boom, you jump on him and that way they never have time to set up in the zone." Last season, Boucher's Hamilton team used that style and led the AHL in fewest goals allowed. The system can work offensively, as well, as the up-tempo Bulldogs were third in league scoring using the same type of aggressiveness to keep pushing the puck forward. "I like that, as an offensive player," St. Louis said. "And I've heard a lot of good things. From what I've read, and actually talking to Darche, I'm excited about it." Although whatever system the Lightning run next season might not look identical to Hamilton's, it will be some form of the basic structure Boucher has used depending on his personnel. So despite bringing in someone who doesn't carry instant name recognition or might be perceived as too young for his first NHL head coaching job, Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman spoke of the confidence he has in Boucher and his system. "Guy is an intelligent, well-educated guy. He's an intelligent hockey person, as well," Yzerman said. "He knows the game. He has ideas. You've asked about and read about his systems and whatnot, but as Guy said, his systems change. He's going to adapt. That's what's made him successful. It worked in major junior hockey. It worked at the American League level. "He's adapted to the players he's had, the personalities he's had and to the league and level of play. He'll continue to do that. He's surrounded himself with an excellent coaching staff and we're going to provide him with the environment and the things he needs to do that. He's 38 years old; he's not 21. He's been in this game a long time." Five Filters featured article: Headshot - Propaganda, State Religion and the Attack On the Gaza Peace Flotilla.
