[JOYnet] A Day of Miracles
After the National Campus Conference everyone here is on fire. The love that Jesus has allowed us to experience is awesome. Twelve of us who went for NCC gathered at the MSFS Farmhouse here for a day of sharing and prayers, it was a sweet experience for all of us. Continue to pray for our spiritual growth as intercession is the greatest spiritual resource that can help us now. Meanwhile, we had been preparing for a newsletter... finance was a continuous worry. We needed 1000rs... with all the other expenses that we have to meet , this was a little too much. Yesterday afternoon the Co-ordinator of Mysore Jesus Youth, Seby and I were debating on how to get the money... when we finally decided to stop debating and continue with our work. We went to a parish to meet the Fr. there ( he was going abroad after a few days) to wish him a safe journey. After sometime ( as we were looking at some photos) he went inside and came back...u guess?!! with a 1000rs. note!!! My first instinct was to say n!! (I forgot I was a fulltimer, a pauper in other words...hahaha), then I saw it was a 1000rs note( stupid me didn't know at that time that such a thing existed in this world)... I thought it was a wonderful joke and gladly took the 'fake note' from Fr. Then turning to Seby to share the joke I found him very happy...only then did I realise it was not a 'fake note' , that it was indeed a real one ... and I could do nothing to praise my ever humorous and caring God! Hppyyy! thank you Jesus for we acknowledge you as the only Source of all good things, whether the financial or spiritual resources in our life. Praise You!

[JOYnet] Change Places !!!!
Have a nice week end.Nelli Perhaps you would like to change places with me There was once a king named Dionysius who ruled in Syracuse at that time the richest city in Sicily. He lived in a fine palace where there were many fine and beautiful things, and he was waited upon by a host of servants. Naturally, there were many in Syracuse who envied his good fortune. One of these was Damocles, one of Dionysius' best friends. He was always saying to Dionysius, You must be the happiest man in the world. One day Dionysius tired of hearing such talk said, Perhaps you would like to change places with me. Oh, I would never dream of that, said Damocles. But if I could only have your riches and your pleasures for one day, I should never want any greater happiness. Very well, trade places with me just for one day. And so the next day, Damocles was led to the palace, and all the servants were instructed to treat him as their master. They dressed him in royal robes, and placed on his head a golden crown. He sat at the table in the banquet hall and rich foods and wines were set before him. Ah, this is the life, sighed Dionysius who sat at the other end of the long table. I've never enjoyed myself so much. As he raised a cup to his lips and he lifted his eyes to the ceiling Damocles stiffened. The smile faded from his lips, and his face turned ashen, his hands trembled. He wanted no more food, no more wine, no more music. He only wanted to be out of the palace, far away. For directly above his head hung a sword, held to the ceiling by only a single horsehair. Frightened that any sudden move might snap the thin thread and bring down the sword, he sat frozen in his chair. What's the matter, my friend? asked Dionysius. You seem to have lost your appetite. That sword! That sword! whispered Damocles. Don't you see it? Of course I see it, said Dionysius. I see it every day. It always hangs over my head, and there is always a chance someone may cut the slim thread. Perhaps one of my advisors may grow jealous of my power and try to kill me. Or someone may spread lies about me, to turn the people against me. Or maybe a neighbouring kingdom may send an army to seize my throne. Or I might make an unwise decision that will bring my downfall. If you want to be a leader you have to accept these risks. They come with the power. Damocles said, I see now that I was mistaken, and that you have much to think about besides your riches and fame. Please take your place and let me go to my own house. And as long as he lived Damocles never wanted to change places, even for a moment, with the king. Author Unknown This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Re: Vastu Shasthra
Hi all, This mail from Alfred Samji was very informative. Thanks samji. Read the following link. There is something interesting here. It is India's 'Vaastu-deficient' Parliament House which is responsible for the country's present problems like political instability, communal disharmony, the terrorist attack on Parliament, unemployment, poverty and illiteracy, opines a Vaastu expert. http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/nov13/n2.asp Going by this theory, we can expect a fully developed and rich India, with 100% employment, once the parliament house is re-built as per Vastu :-) I have seen some houses here in Bangalore which are built as per vastu but doesn't have the basic common facilities. One house was having the toilet entrance from the kitchen. My neighbouring house here has the kitchen facing the front of the house. Some time back one of the Thermal power stations in Karnataka had some frequent break-downs in one of its thermal turbines. The authorities brought one vaastu expert and he suggested to build a boundary fencing for the whole plant with copper wires!! Good trouble shooting for a turbine failure, right :-) Why not lay off the whole maintenance engineers there and have a team of vaastu experts take care of all the industries and manufacturing plants here :-) One thing I always find it difficult to understand. Why is the educated people blindly follow such superstitions?? Mathew Joseph Bangalore, India. - Original Message - From: Alfred Samji [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 1:23 PM Subject: [JOYnet] Vastu Shasthra Have something with regards to the topic Vastu Shasthra. It is said to be part of astrology which is strictly against Christian teaching. It is said that Vastu itself is a deity of another god (we are surely not to serve another god, are we?). Am copying below some excerpts from the web with regards to the topic. Please read for a clearer picture. Vastu Shastra is an ancient science based on astrology and laws laid down in Hindu scriptures to ensure good fortune for the homebuilder and dweller. It is a Vedic concept of construction which finds its roots in Atharva Veda. To receive all round happiness, increase in wealth, health and peace one should give importance to Vastu in making of the house. It is because for this reason one gains or looses, if the house is made according to principles of Vastu or otherwise. The effects of Vastu can be explained in the following way: There are three forces in action to create harmony namely wind water and fire. If these forces are kept in their appropriate place then there will be no disturbance. But if water is put in place of fire and wind in place of water or in any other combination the forces will act accordingly and create disharmony. Vastu Shastra agrees with astrology that our destiny is influenced by nine planets and as such every home is also under their influence. As per astrology each direction is assigned a particular planet and only those objects which are in harmony with that planet should be placed there. Keeping in mind these principles various effects on our destiny can be determined and rectified as mentioned by lord Vishkarma. Q 8. Which are the auspicious / inauspicious times to start construction ? A. According to Shastras, Vastu - the God in command of building construction works, is said to be sleeping most of time and wakes up only during a particular time of particular months in a year. When Vastu is sleeping no construction work should be started, nor the doors be fixed. He normally sleeps - all the time during Jaishtha, Ashwini, Margshirsh and Paush. In these months, if construction is started or main door fixed, following adverties will take place : - - - Jaishtha (Mid of May-June) fear of death Ashwini (Mid of Sep-Oct) - unnecessary fight, bickerings. Margshirsh (Mid of Nov-Dec) - fear of many things Paush (Mid of Dec-Jan) --- fear of fire accidents and loss. It is said that Vastu awakes in the following months namely : - - - Baishakh ( mid April-May) Shravan (mid of July-Aug) Kartik (mid of Oct-Nov) Maagh (mid of Jan-Feb) Phalgun (mid of Feb-March) At a particular time, a learned Pandit should be consulted for exact timing of construction and fixing of main doors. Answer20 - It cannot be denied that Vaastu Shastra is related to astrology to some extent. If in the horoscopes of people the stars Saturn, Mars, Harshal and Neptune are prominent and if the entrance of the houses of these people are in the South they get success in their work. When the stars of the head of the family are prominent he does not feel the effects of the faulty construction to that extent. When the stars of the head the of family are under bad influence the dou-blybad effects of faulty stars and faulty construction are to be borne. But when the

[JOYnet] !!!!GOD HAS HIS OWN WAYS!!!!
Hi Friends, This mail came to me at a time when I really needed God's assurance. May His assurance bring immense peace and tranqulity in our lives. Love Prayers Jennifer Isn't it amazing how God works in our lives! On a Saturday night severalweeks ago, this pastor was working late, and decided to call his wifebefore he left for home. It was about 10:00 PM, but his wife didn't answerthe phone. The pastor let it ring many times. He thought it was odd that she didn't answer, but decided to wrap up a fewthings and try again in a few minutes. When he tried again she answeredright away. He asked her why she hadn't answered before, and she said thatit hadn't rung at their house. They brushed it off as a fluke and went ontheir merry ways. The following Monday, the pastor received a call at the church office,which was the phone that he'd used that Saturday night. The man that he spoke with wanted to know why he'd called on Saturday night. The pastor couldn't figure out what the man was talking about. Then theman said, It rang and rang, but I didn't answer. The pastor rememberedthe mishap and apologized for disturbing him, explaining that he'dintended to call his wife. The man said, That's OK. Let me tell you my story. You see, I wasplanning to commit suicide on Saturday night, but before I did, I prayed,'God if you're there, and you don't want me to do this, give me a signnow.' At that point my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID,and it said, 'Almighty God'. I was afraid to answer! The reason why it showed on the man's caller ID that the call came fromAlmighty God is because the church that the pastor attends is calledAlmighty God Tabernacle!! If you believe that God answers prayers then pass this on. God bless! READ EACH SENTENCE SLOWLY AND THINK ABOUT IT..AWESOME PRAYER: May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactlywhere you are meant to be. I believe that friends are quiet angels wholift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

[JOYnet] Re: Vastu shastra
Dear Friends in Christ, Please find a short write up on Vastu Shastra picked up from the internet before furthur discussion. Highlight - According to Shastras,if we worship,revere and respect the lords of these eight directions,they will shower on us their blessings and benefits. ##VASTU SHASTRA ## Vastu in Sanskrit means nature , a surrounding or environment.The word Vaasthu came from Vasthu , denoting anything existing such as house, shelter,building etc.Shastra in sanskrit means systems.Vastu shastra is an ancient art and science,containing principles and practises of constructing buildings which ensures a harmonious balance between man and nature and thereby bring all round happiness,health,wealth and prosperity. Ancient sages of India laid down several principles for constructing buildings taking advantage of the nature,the Pancha Bhootas namely Earth,Space,Air,Fire and water,gravitational and magnetic effects and rotational influences of Sun,Moon,Earth and other planets on the life in Earth with a view to bring balance and harmony between man, nature and his buildings and thereby ensuring peace,prosperity,and happiness.These principles,calledVastu Shastra,were evolved over thousands of years out of experience and foresight of ancient Sages of India and are very valuable for the well being of man-kind. According to Shastras,if we worship,revere and respect the lords of these eight directions,they will shower on us their blessings and benefits. Esshan ie Ishwar(North-east) - He grants us wisdom,knowledge and serve all comforts and relieves us from sufferings. Indra(East) - He is the king of angels. He gives wealth and all pleasures of life. Agni/Fire(South-east) - He gives us beautiful personality and all the best of life. Yamaa or Yamaha(South) - He is god of death.He is embodiment of dharma.He eradicates evils and grants all good things. Nissan or Niruti (South-west) - He vanishes fear about our enemies. Varun(West) - He is god of rain. He showers his blessings through rain and brings prosperity and pleasure in life all round. Vayu/Wind(North-west) - He bestows on us long life,health and strength.He is the basic of all life. Kuber(North) - He is god of wealth.He grants us wealth and all comforts of life. Who does not want all these things in life??? These gods belong to all religions,races and castes and creeds. Now-a-days,when people want to construct a house or other building, they devote more time for minute details of foundation,superstructure, comforts,look,appearance etc.without going into detailed examination as to whether such a house or building will bring them prosperity, health,wealth,wisdom and happiness in the life paving the way for progress and peaceful living or not. Vaastu is such a vast field which really needs specialisation if someone want to study it .There are some basic favourable and unfavourable directions which we use in our daily life. Shape of plot - Favourites are regular shaped square or rectangular plota AND irregular shaped plots are normally avoided. Water-bodies - Water bodies in north or east are considered good. Obstruction - Obstruction like big trees,open well,pillars and posts before a arrow like roads are to be avoided. building Ideal site - In a square plot the house should be constructed in the for house centre and in rectangular plot it should be nearer to construction south,south west and west sides preferably leaving more in a plot open space on north and east. L or Considered not suitable for house as corners will be U shaped missing and occupants will be missing oppurtunities. plots ## God Bless George NJ USA This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

Re: [JOYnet] Re: Vastu shastra
Vastu Shastra is a relevant topic brought out as we are more than 1000 in this wonderful net and if we are convinced, we can make others convince. I would like to share some of my thoughts as I was trying to find an answer on this as I was totally disturbed to see many of Christians going behind superstitions like Vastu Shastra, astrology, horoscope, etc etc. I was shocked to read one of our JesusYouth's statement So you cannot turn away from Vasthushastra just because it is an Hindu way.Why not we adopt some of the Good aspects in it. I have got a Filipino Civil Engineer sitting next to me in my office. Once I noticed he taking an instrument to find the direction of north pole with him. When asked he told it is to find the location of his new flat entrance matching his wife's stars. I admit I failed to convince this Catholic that he was doing a sin, when he wanted me to stop the conversation saying that we are not priests to live according to Bible. What I understood from him was he got this belief from Chinese who were working in construction of houses in Philippines. Now as we interact with Hindu's we also started adopting their ways. This is the main reason St. Paul restricts believers from interacting with Pagans as we may try to adopt such things if our belief in Lord Jesus is not firmly rooted. First of all let us come to Holy Word of God. Whenever we take the Bible in our hand let us keep two thoughts in our mind. Whatever is needed for our salvation is written in the Bible and whatever is not need for our salvation is not written in the Bible. If we believe that Bible is Word of God. God spoke through the prophet Zephaniah I'll drive away those who kneel down the roof to worship the stars. (Zep. 1:5) In Ad62 the first century Church in Colossian was facing same crisis when some Christians where led by astrology and horoscope. Paul strongly says If you have accepted Christ Jesus as Lord, let Him be your doctrine. Be rooted and built up in Him; ..See that no one deceives you with philosophy or any hollow discourse; these are merely human doctrines not inspired by Christ but by the wisdom of world. For in Him dwells the fullness of God in bodily form. He is the head of all cosmic power and authority, and in Him you have everything. (Col. 2:6-10) Stars Planets may have power or not, that has nothing to do with us, as long as we believe in God who revealed his almighty power in Christ when he raised Him from dead and had Him seated at His right hand in heaven, far above all rule, power, authority, domination, or any other supernatural forces that could be named, not only in this world but in the world to come as well. Thus has God put all things under the feet of Christ and set Him above all things .. (Eph. 1:20-22). Same message Peter writes in first letter 3:22. The question is -is our aim of life the wealth prosperity of this life? Is it for that we are being Christian ? These Vastu Shastra, astrology or horoscope claims to give wealth prosperity but will any of these claim to lead us to eternal life, which we are longing for. Are we believing in Jesus for any material benefits of this world. Some Christians in Corinthians thought of that , Paul writes If it is only for this life that we hope in Christ, we are the unfortunate of all people. (1Cor 15:19) Paul writes again They only think of earthly things. For us our citizen ship is in heaven (Philip 3:19,20) Jesus has promised to take care of all our needs if we live a life in Him, what do we want more than that? As Jesus says, before you ask God know what you want. In letter to Philippines Paul continues God himself will provide you with everything you need according to his riches .(4:19) We are not believing in a God among many Gods. We are putting our faith in one and only one true God. When I read Jesus words I'm the way, the truth the life I always read it as Jesus is the ONLY way, the ONLY truth the ONLY life So no need of looking into other religions because in Jesus there is fullness and His doctrine is perfect complete. If not getting a good sleep no need to change the direction of the bed, if no success in studies no need to change the location of study room, for wealth prosperity no need to bind ourselves to Vastu Shastra, never hesitate to come back after you started your journey if you forgot to take something , don't look at the time or day to start anything, don't be afraid if a cat crosses you on your way, Let astrology and horoscope not decide our future, ...because Jesus is still alive and He is above all the power authority. He has poured on us His spirit, He has given us the power over evil spirit. He has given us the greatest weapon HIS BLOOD. Let me conclude by 1Corinthians 8:5,6 People speaks of other God in heaven and on earth and in sense there are many gods lords. Yet for us, there is but one God, the Father, from whom everything comes, and to whom we go. And there is

[JOYnet] Holy Piracy !!
Dear JYs, Though I am a bit late to reply, I want to tell U what I believe about copying Christian music for faith formation. I love music and have a lots and lots of Christian Gospel CDs. I do not copy any music. This is because, I believe that these singers have taken a lots of pains and prayers for these excellent production. Most of these singers are committed Christians and spends a lot of time with the Lord before a major production. A good friend of mine is a full time gospel singer and has told me that he lives ONLY with the money he gets out of God's Music. And will it be bad if we copy all his music without his permission and distribute it freely? In fact, the music we copy will be of poor quality and will not help the musicians to produce better music further in their career. The name of this game is piracy. More over, we should not copy music as it is against the laws that control the health of this media and the morals that control this God given joy. Indiscriminate copying of music has created a lot of financial problems for various musicians. And, we should not be a party to it. Faith formation is onething and coping music is another issue alltogether. Let us not mix it up. Take for that matter, the Holy Bible. We know that God's Word as printed Holy Bible is one of the most strongly copyrighted material on earth. Why? All the Bible publishing companies have protected their versions through various Copyright act. Why ? For example, the NIV version of the Holy Bible was produced by the efforts of more than 100 Bible scholars around the world taking more than 20 years! Very huge spiritual, intellectual and financial efforts had gone into that project. And, Christian singers and song writers are on different. We need music for our spiritual growth and song writers need food for their earthily growth!! Let Us Live and Let Them Live!!! God Bless Us All!!

Why are Spiritual Songs Copyrighted if it is meant to help us to grow spiritually and closer to the Lord. Why are even preachings and teachings of renowned spiritualists and writers copyrighted. Arent they meant to help us in matter of faith formation. urs in faith Jason Mumbai This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] A Jesus Youth Joke and our Questions Answers
Friends, A JY joke from our earlier years! A Young person's soul after death was offered a chance to choose Heaven or Hell. Each place had a brief Show highlighting their Lifestyles. While Heaven was a serene place with worship music to be, Hell was very KOOL, with people having Internet in Deluxe A/C suites and partying in loud exciting music in discotheques. Obviously the soul chose Hell over Heaven. Reaching there, it was shocked at the deception! It WAS Hell! Whew, the Audio-Visual Ministry! Well, it is really good that some of us request for clarification on certain areas such as Vaastu Shastra etc...! These days in most Newspapers, Magazines and websites you find such things of Ancient Wisdom getting much discussed. One truly is left to wonder if it is true or false, right or wrong. The reason is the mainly due to the seemingly knowledgeable presentation of the subject. It is in this background that I'd like to draw your attention to Half Truths. What are they? They are statements made with a sprinkling of Science, Facts, and Testimonials as perceived by the advocates of such beliefs. However the KEY distinctive factor is that such statements as a WHOLE are never True! It is never black or white, will always have shade of either! Because you could never link it successfully to the teachings and traditions of Church and to the Word of God! There might be examples of Vaastu Shastra which have some common-sense in it, but certainly not all of it. In the form of Aesthetic culture, that inculcates a sense of beauty and order, certain New Age practices seep into our midst. E.g., Feng Shui and so on. They come in forms of new Knowledge Science, Art etc. However, we need to be cautious but not alarmed about possible deceptions, and discuss it with those whom we trust to have sound Christian judgment.

[JOYnet] Praise and Thanks for our Lord's great protection!
Hi All, I would like to praise and thank the Lord for His great protection on us this past weekend. We (Molly aunty, George, John and I) had gone to Chicago from New Jersey by car last Thursday early morning, to look at some engineering colleges in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois for George. George did not want to see Purdue University. So, we only had to visit Case Western Reserve University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champain and North Western University in Chicago. We were in chicago on friday night after seeing CWRU and the Urbana campuses. We took part in the evening adoration, Mass at the Syro-Malabar church and the night vigil at Sunil Sindhu's house. We planned to come back on saturday night, but we got drawn into a Charismatic leaders meeting with the Bishop of Chicago and was at the meeting late into Saturday night. George had to go with some of his friends to visit the MWU campus. On Sunday, we were again delayed since we went to the Mass at 9:00 (EST) in the morning. At the end of the meeting the beloved bishop had prayed for everyone's safe journey back. Because we were late, we made almost a non-stop journey back, taking only one stop for lunch and two short breaks for gas and change of drivers. We started at 10:50 AM and were in New Jersey safely by 11:50 PM, that is in 13 hours, unlike our usual 16 to 17 hours for the 800 mile journey. I only had about 15 minutes of tough driving in Pennsylvania during a short period of heavy rain. As you may know, we pass through the states of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania to get to New Jersey. Yesterday, while talking to my friend, he asked me if had known that there was a dangerous chain of hurricane incidence in the US. I do not watch TV at all and was unaware of what was happening, Sunday and early Monday. My friend told me that the hurricane was following us. The lord did not allow it to catch up to us. He protected us just like the Israelites from the armies of Pharaoh. In Ohio, cars were flying and 9 people died. One person died in Pennsylvania also. We again praise and thank Him for His mercy!

[JOYnet] No matrimonial ads please
Dear Friends, We have come across some innocent looking matrimonial ads or requests.It may be note the Joynet should not be abused as a broker group. It's true that a large number of our members are eligible bachelors/spinsters. However, it is not the right forum for soliciting matrimonial alliances. Whoever wants to get married and give his or her brother or sister in marriage let him/her pray to the Lord to show the right partner, a sanctified partner from a sanctified family. The Lord who has the plan for you in His mind will reveal it to you at the right time and through the right forum. So, wait patiently for the Lord and don't torpedo His plans.

[JOYnet] vasthu Shastra
Dear FreindsIm glad the topic of vasthu shastra came up as I had been looking up ads in Bangalore for houses on sale and many of them said Vasthu compliant but not shasthra. So I thought it meant that the builders were compliant with some contruction codes mandated by the government. So what do I think about it now that I know what it means, I think it is part cultural, part religious and part science.Much of science developed because people observed events in nature for hundreds of years.If I found a house that was Vasthu complaint and at the same time was one which my family and I liked I would buy it.As there are more Hindus than Christians the resale value will be better. Weas Catholics do we not bless the water and the fire and use,it in our sacraments.?Do we not use holy medals, scapulas and pray at the same time for protection from God.In the Charismatic movement a lot of counselors are consulted to predict the future and they do.They say they see certain visions and they predict what will happen. Do we not flock to holy Places where miracles are said to happen.Do we not accept dowry even tho it is illegal, but very cultural and traditional.? Do we not believe in many Saints and invoke the intercession with God. There is science in our our christian rituals and rites.A strong faith and belief in a higher power (God) has been shown to be good for our minds and bodies.We are able to recognize that what will be good for us will happen in Gods time. and He will see us thru our adversities.

Re: [JOYnet] Vastu Shastra
what do the Vastu Shastra say, we will have to suffer if we do not follow it Let it be true Christians must not fear/run away from sufferings, as it is the way our Lord Jesus taught from His own life, for salvation dr.jomon,angamaly ---Original Message--- From: Jennifer Date: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 10:33:45 AM To: Joynet Subject: [JOYnet] Vastu Shastra Hi Joynetters, A very Good Morning to all. There was this one question in mind which I would like to share with you all. I am sure that many among you may have answer to this. It's about Vastu Shastra, the new thing that is become so popular among the Contractors and builders and also among many Christians. I somehow get a feeling that it is not good, that it is against our Christian faith. But then then it's just a feeling and there are no facts. How do I convince myself of this so that I can convince my fellow brothers about it's ill effects. There are Christians who place their altars in the position the Vastu Shastra suggests. Awaiting your replies. Love Prayers Jennifer This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

Re: [JOYnet] No matrimonial ads please
Dear Joynetters, I agree with uncle Josephs comments about the matrimonials or other things. In this way we dilute our attention towards GOD and also our CATHOLIC topics of discussion which are to strengthen our FAITH. Meanwhile let us also offer our prayers for her so that the Mighty Lord may bless her with a wonderful partner. God Bless, Johnson This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
