stress management also contributes to increase the size of our brain. Three minute talk by Dr Dean Ornish at TED conference.

Dear Bala Sir,

You have lots and lots of information about MahAperiyavA but they can't be posted in any thread you like!

Please start an new thread ( instructions already given ) and post all of them in that thread. Thank you. :)

I will go one step further and say that it is injustice and disservice to MahAperiyavA to bury his teachings in an ordinary mundane thread like this. His teachings are not an “Occasional Piece of Interesting Information”, but rather have perennial and everlasting value.

Wouldn't it be nice to post them in a fresh thread on its own and call it MahAperiyavAl's upadesams, teachings and messages ?

Fake Gold Bars
In 2009, the IMF announced the sale of 200 tonnes of gold bars to India.Was the Indian government smart enough to assay their gold bars? The rumour about fake bars has been around even earlier.

Is Gold in FortKnox Real? Ron Paul Wanted to Know in June 2011.

Any way, read this article in FORBES

In any case, unless you are going to invest in gold bars, I suppose you don't need to worry!!
