Heat Pad - A Wonderful pain reliever!

The heat pad is a great find from an exhibition in Chennai. A fine health care product.
I have used it as a external heat pad on muscle pain, sprains and also for knee pains. It is very handy, reusable, retains heat longer and effective in soothing muscle pains! Very good for SCIATICA!

The Heat Pad is made from sodium acetate (salt) and water and is therefore extremely safe. The sodium acetate is a type of salt that is excellent at cooling and exists as a liquid when combined with water at room temperature.

However, if you 'Click' the metal disc, it momentarily increases the temperature of the molecules surrounding the disc, setting off a chain reaction amongst the adjoining molecules and thus heating the pad.

The pad will stay warm for up to 2 hours and can be moulded and applied to any area. To return the pad to its original state, simply pop it into boiling water on the stove for 5 -10 minutes until the pad has totally returned to gel.

You're then ready to re-use as many times as you like!

IS IT SAFE?

Yes, the Heat Pad is made from Non Toxic materials and is totally safe. It contains Sodium Acetate (SALT) and water.

HOW HOT DOES IT GET?

The Heat Pad will increase to a safe temperature of 54 degree C / 130 Degree F once activated.

HOW LONG DOES IT STAY HOT FOR?

Although this is dependant on the environment, on average the Heat Pad will remain hot for 1 - 2 hours.

HOW MANY TIMES CAN I USE IT?

This is the great part, the Heat Pad can be re-used as many times as you like!

WHAT USES DOES IT HAVE?

You can use the Heat Pads for any situation where constant durable heat is required. We find that most of our clients use them for general aches and pains such as stiff necks, back aches or menstrual pains. We also see a great deal of people using them for camping and hiking not only for comfort but also as a back up emergency heat source. In general, just about any situation where a constant durable heat source is needed, the Heat Pad is up to the task. The Heat Pad also works in reverse and can be used as a Cool Pack, simply freeze overnight and it will stay Ice Cold for hours.

I have used this and very effective and reusable...good for sciatica, muscle pains, aches!

AVATAR! Hmmm Interesting, man itz great!!

I got the chance to see it on big screen; wow it held me spellbound by its dreamworld!! The Computer Graphics were amazing and the creativity was excellent. The Creatures, the new aliens, the hanging mountains, the prayers and spiritual ways of the alien race were all very nicely portrayed.
The story line is nothing new but you gotta have a decent one and it has been told nicely. A huge amount of work has gone into the making of this movie and the results show off spectacularly!
I feel that an Indian impact is clear in many aspects of the movie. The spiritual prayers, telepathic connections, chanting all have a Sanskrit flavour and the aliens have tails alike the mythical monkey god Hanuman!
The human invaders are portrayed as invaders without heart nor understanding of the mind power of the alien race. The villains remind us of the war mongering, inhuman brutal streak present in many;which overrides the humanity. This shortsighted barbarism is wreaking havoc, pain, destruction and poverty across many nations on our own earth in reality.
One has got to see it on 3D IMAX theatre to experience the new technology- sound, video in a whole new splendour! Get transported...well telejetted into a new dimension in visual entertainment..Hats off to James Cameron & his fine team!!!

Harikatha by Mrs.Visaka Hariji

Visaka Hariji made a fantastic presentation of the glory, simplicity and power of the name of Lord Sri RAMA through the Harikatha recital "Rama Nama Prabhavam".
Harikatha is a fine blend of carnatic music, sanskrit slokas, crisp story telling
The Rama nama transcends religious and caste barriers and is open to all those who beleive in its power and purity.
Rama Nama japam mahimai (Power of Chanting) was nicely illustrated with the story of a robber who realises his folly when no one is ready to share his sin of robbery. He seeks salvation through Rama Nama Japam initiated by Sage Narada(AKA Sage Valmiki).
The stories of Saints protected by Rama Nama Saint Sri Thyagarajar, Sri Bodendral, Sri Tulasidasar.
The Rama Sloka which formed the heart of the concert;
" Aapatha mapha harthaaram thatharam sarva sambhathaam
Lokaphiraaman Sriramam Bhooyo Bhooyo namamyaham"

Real life examples and humourous references relavant to discussion were a treat.
Visakaji's lilting and dynamic rendering took everyone present to a different realm of spirituality. The vibrant and unique style of the concert held the audience spellbound and we were transfixed in awe. But all good things come to an end and we left richer in thoughts.
Fortunately I was lucky to buy the latest DVD release of "Sri Andal Kalyanam" by Visakaji to elevate the devotional spirit of Marghazhi to new heights.

A real view - Life, its philosophy?!

Hi! I wanted to dwell on a more serious topic this time...a look at life in a different way! I wanted to write about this seeing the happenings aroung us and the times we live in...
Human beings lead their lives in various ways, some follow the path shown by their faiths, others do what they like and many live it day by day...Every religion, faith teaches their followers to live in harmony, show understanding, have tolerance, live a life with humanity and compassion for other lives. The core philosophy of any religion is unselfish love and goodness within and radiating to all! Yet many problems we see daily have their roots in the inability to reason.
If one wants to understand the basic philosophy of a religion, they need to read its scriptures, check out its history, move with people practise that faith and then they will begin to realise that the roads lead finally to one destination -god or ultimate bliss; salvation! But the routes are myriad and many get lost in the way and face multitude of obstacles before they see the light!
If we learn to screen out the prejudices, egos and self imposed complication life would be so much easier and happier!! It is easier said than done! There is much more to be said, yet I want to hear your views!!
