Thanks Sri G K. Re Q 2:
In addition to what is said there, I thought I might share the following: Tamizh Saint and Poetess Avviyar, in her Upadesams in short sentences, has said "Marunde Unavu" meaning food is medicine. It means be moderate in eating and don't gormandize, that is eat in excess. In other words it says have your tongue in control. It is also better to remember that we need to keep our tongue in control both while eating AND also when speaking. Avviyar has also said " Pasithhup Pusi" meaning Eat only when hungry. I have heard lectures on eating at specific times and eating only when hungry. One of the speakers advocating the latter said When you are hungry it means the previous meals have been digested and hence you are not overloading the system. He also quoted Avvai patti, as we affectionately call her, to buttress his argument.

Gopala Krishnan, 80, on 15-11-2023.* *Q1 When did Shree Krishna realise that Krishna himself is a superior God?* *A1 Aditi Pathak, Author and Servant of Lord Krishna Apr 21* *In Hinduism, Lord Krishna is considered as the eighth avatar or incarnation of Lord Vishnu. As per the Bhagavata Purana and other Hindu scriptures, Lord Krishna was aware of his divine identity from the time of his birth.* *According to the Bhagavata Purana, when Lord Krishna was born, his father Vasudeva took him to Vrindavan to save him from the wrath of his maternal uncle, Kamsa. In Vrindavan, Lord Krishna was brought up by his foster parents Nanda and Yashoda. Even in his childhood, Lord Krishna displayed his divine powers by performing miracles and killing demons.* *One of the most popular stories from Lord Krishna's childhood is the incident where he lifted the Govardhan mountain to protect the people of Vrindavan from the wrath of Lord Indra. This incident shows that Lord Krishna was aware of his divine identity and had access to his divine powers from a very young age.* *As Lord Krishna grew up and became more involved in the affairs of the world, he continued to display his divine powers and wisdom. He imparted various teachings to his disciples, including the Bhagavad Gita, which is considered one of the most important Hindu scriptures.* *In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna teaches the importance of duty, selflessness, detachment, and devotion to God. He emphasizes the need to perform one's duties without attachment to the results and surrendering the fruits of one's actions to God. Lord Krishna also teaches that one can achieve liberation by following the path of devotion to God and by performing selfless service.* *In conclusion, according to Hindu scriptures, Lord Krishna was aware of his divine identity from a very young age and continued to display his divine powers throughout his life. His teachings, including the Bhagavad Gita, emphasize the importance of duty, selflessness, detachment, and devotion to God, and continue to inspire people around the world to this day.* *Q2 What will happen if we don't eat dinner?* *A2 Health Director | Loving Father | Business Director May 16* *Skipping dinner is a common practice for many people, but it is important to understand what happens to our body when we skip this meal. Dinner is usually the last meal of the day and is essential for providing the body with the necessary nutrients and energy to function properly. In this article, we will explore the effects of not eating dinner and what happens to the body when we skip this meal.* *Positive effects of skipping dinner* *Weight loss: One of the positive effects of skipping dinner is weight loss. When we skip dinner, we reduce the total calories consumed in a day. This can lead to a calorie deficit which can help in weight loss. However, it is important to note that this should be done in a healthy way and not by drastically reducing calories or skipping meals frequently.* *Digestive system rest: Another benefit of skipping dinner is that it gives the digestive system a break. The digestive system works constantly, breaking down food and extracting nutrients. By skipping dinner, we give the digestive system a chance to rest and recover.* *Negative effects of skipping dinner* *Hunger pangs: One of the negative effects of skipping dinner is hunger pangs. When we skip dinner, our body starts to crave food, and we may feel hungry. This can cause us to overeat at the next meal, leading to weight gain.* *Low blood sugar levels: Skipping dinner can also lead to a drop in blood sugar levels. This can make us feel tired, irritable, and dizzy. Low blood sugar levels can also cause headaches and difficulty concentrating.* *Nutrient deficiencies: Dinner is often an important meal for getting essential nutrients. When we skip dinner, we may miss out on important vitamins and minerals that are necessary for our body's functions. This can lead to nutrient deficiencies, which can cause a variety of health problems.* *Disrupts sleep: Skipping dinner can also disrupt our sleep. When we go to bed hungry, it can be difficult to fall asleep, and we may wake up in the middle of the night feeling hungry. This can affect the quality of our sleep and lead to daytime fatigue.* *Increased stress levels: Skipping dinner can also increase stress levels. Hunger can cause stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to be released, which can increase stress levels and cause anxiety.* *Conclusion* *In conclusion, skipping dinner can have both positive and negative effects on the body. While it may help in weight loss and give the digestive system a break, it can also lead to hunger pangs, low blood sugar levels, nutrient deficiencies, disrupted sleep, and increased stress levels. It is important to listen to our body and eat when we are hungry. Skipping dinner occasionally is not necessarily harmful, but it should not become a regular habit. A balanced and healthy diet is essential for maintaining good health.* *Q3 What happens if a lithium battery gets wet?* *A3 Rebecca Williams, Experience in Aviation13h* *A lithium battery is a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium compounds as the anode. Lithium batteries have many advantages, such as high energy density, long shelf life, and low self-discharge rate.* *They also have some drawbacks, such as being sensitive to high temperatures, overcharging, and water exposure. Water can cause two main problems for lithium batteries: corrosion and reaction.* *Corrosion is the gradual deterioration of the battery components due to the presence of water and oxygen. Water can enter the battery through cracks, holes, or leaks in the casing or the seals. Water can also condense inside the battery due to temperature changes or humidity. Corrosion can affect the performance and safety of the battery, as it can reduce the electrical conductivity, increase the internal resistance, and create short circuits.* *The reaction is the violent and explosive chemical reaction of lithium with water. Lithium is a highly reactive metal that can react with water to produce hydrogen gas and lithium hydroxide. Hydrogen gas is flammable and can ignite in the presence of a spark or heat. Lithium hydroxide is a corrosive and alkaline substance that can damage the battery and the surrounding materials.* *Reaction can occur when the battery is damaged, punctured, or crushed, and the lithium is exposed to water. Reaction can also occur when the battery is overcharged, overheated, or short-circuited, and the lithium is oxidized and releases heat and gas.* *The severity and consequences of water exposure vary depending on the type of lithium battery. For example, lithium-ion batteries, which use lithium compounds as the anode, are less prone to reaction than lithium metal batteries, which use pure lithium as the anode. Lithium-ion batteries also have protective circuits and vents that can prevent or mitigate the effects of water exposure. Lithium-ion batteries are still susceptible to corrosion and thermal runaway, which is a chain reaction of overheating and gas generation that can lead to fire and explosion.* *Q4 What is the loudest planet in the solar system?* *A4 Silk Road, Jun 26* *You might think it's Earth, because we have so much noise pollution from cars, planes, factories, and people.* *But you would be wrong.* *Earth is actually pretty quiet compared to some other planets. The loudest planet in the solar system is actually Jupiter. That's right, the big gas giant that is more than 20 times more massive than Earth.* *Why so loud?* *Well, it's not because of its atmosphere or its weather. It's because of its radio emissions.* *Radio emissions are electromagnetic waves that can travel through space and can be detected by radio telescopes.* *Jupiter emits a lot of radio waves because it has a powerful magnetic field that interacts with charged particles from the sun and its moons.* *These interactions create a lot of noise that can be heard by radio telescopes on Earth and in space.* *Jupiter's loudness will depend on how and what you use to measure it.* *If you use the decibel scale, which is how we measure sound on Earth, Jupiter would be about 1000 decibels. That's way louder than anything we can hear on Earth.* *The loudest sound ever recorded on Earth was a volcanic eruption in 1883 that was about 180 decibels.* *Anything above 194 decibels would create a shock wave that would destroy everything in its path.* *Decibels are not really a good way to measure sound in space.* *There is no air or medium for sound waves to travel through. A better way to measure sound in space is by using power flux density, which is how much energy per unit area per unit time is carried by a wave.* *Power flux density is measured in watts per square meter (W/m^2). The higher the power flux density, the louder the sound.* *Using this measure, Jupiter has a power flux density of about 10^14 W/m^2 at a distance of one astronomical unit (AU), which is the average distance between Earth and the sun.* *That's equivalent to about 10^8 W/m^2 per hertz of bandwidth, which means how much power per unit frequency is carried by a wave. That's a lot of power and a lot of noise.* *To put it in perspective, the sun has a power flux density of about 10^3 W/m^2 at one AU, which is about 10^-3 W/m^2 per hertz of bandwidth.* *That means Jupiter is about 10^11 times louder than the sun at radio frequencies. That's crazy loud.* *So, Jupiter is the loudest planet in the solar system by far. If you could hear it with your ears, it would blow your mind (and your eardrums).* * But don't worry, you can't hear it with your ears, because sound doesn't travel in space. You can only hear it with radio telescopes, which convert radio waves into audible sounds.* *Q5 What is the most colourful moment of your life?* *A5 Bala Ji, Studied at V M Inter College Updated Jun 19* *So I was giving my board exam. It was my English paper. I completed my paper 1 hours before the exam time. Then I sat silently. There were two teachers in my class for guarding. One of the teacher came towards me and asked,”Why you are not writing?” I replied him that I have already completed my paper. He took my paper to check. My writing was very well. He astonished and impressed from me. Then he called another teacher and said to him, “look at his answer sheet. He has written very well.” Then they started to ask my education background, address and my father's occupation. Generally if someone ask my father's occupation I get angry but at that time I proudly answered them “He sells samosa”. Then they quoted “A gem has taken birth in his father's family.” I was wishing at that time my father should be here so he can feel proud on me because my father always think that I am a dumb and I can do nothing in my life.* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iyer123" group.
