What a tropicana juice pack taught me

Well while I was taking a sip of tropicana juice, my eyes were stuck at the juice can which said "Contains permitted natural colur and added flavor(Natural orange flavoring substances)". So I just searched for the term "Nature Identical flavoring substances" and here is what all I found:

There are three types of flavorings used in foods:

  • Natural flavoring substances: Flavoring substances obtained from plant or animal raw materials, by physical, microbiological or enzymatic processes. They can be either used in their natural state or processed for human consumption, but cannot contain any nature-identical or artificial flavoring substances.
  • Nature-identical flavoring substances: Flavoring substances that are obtained by synthesis or isolated through chemical processes, which are chemically identical to flavoring substances naturally present in products intended for human consumption. They cannot contain any artificial flavoring substances.
  • Artificial flavoring substances: Flavoring substances not identified in a natural product intended for human consumption, whether or not the product is processed

(Thanks to Wikipedia I could find this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavor)

Hope next time if you happen to read this on an eatable, you will perfectly understand what these terms are all about.

You must fear God

Hi
Well whether you believe in God or you are an atheist, you must fear God be it in form of a power or a deity. I was unaware of divine powers before I came accross Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. Maharaj ji taught us the real meaning of sprituality and what is divine love. Supreme power in this whole universe is Lord Krishna.
Not restricting myself to a specific religion, here are my beliefs and learnings:
  • God is one
  • God is everywhere, so whenever you do a sin alone, you are not alone but God is watching you.
  • God always lives within your heart to note down your good and bad thoughts. You might be wondering why divine people like Arjuna were not punished even after doing so many murders? Well this is because Arjun never had the intention or thought of murder and God always sees your intention.
  • The biggest sin you can do is to make others unhappy or hurt them.
  • The word Radhe is a very powerful and divine word. Enchanting this will give you strength and peace of mind.

All these have been taught by Maharaj ji . If you want to know more visit: http://www.jkp.org/

Hello World- Here comes Moon Star!

This is my first entry on my very first blog. You must be wondering why my blog name is "Moon Star" Well the simple reason behind this is that moon and star make a very lovely pair together, a perfect match for each other or rather made for each other. Now the next issue is who is the moon and who is the star? Well the moon is a beautiful girl with a handsome star- it is all my hypothesis and imagination.
