We all mourn the loss of the six American and one

Israeli Astronauts in the Columbia tragedy.

 

As many know (I did not before yesterday), one of the

American Astronauts was of Indian descent, a brilliant

Indian woman scientist Kalpana Chawala, who lost her

life along with her colleagues. This was her second

flight into space.

 

The following link takes to a story of the loss being

felt in India, where much pride was taken in Kalpana

Chawala's accomplishments.

Namaste,

 

It is a great tragedy for the families.

 

However perhaps some good will come out of it. Perhaps nations will

realise they are not omnipotent. It will be a greater tragedy if

thousands of body bags come home from a war.

 

It is an interesting point that the Hopi told the USA, and the UN

that man would only be allowed to put a house in space. So in light

of this tragedy of seven deaths, although tens of thousands of

children die unsung everyweek, perhaps the influence of the Goddess

will be more felt.

 

The intersting coincidences, in light of current circumstances, are

that it is the same week the challenger blew up in 1986, the first

Israeli astronaut was part of the attack on Iraq's nuclear power

generator.

 

Some see coincidence--------perhaps we should penetrate it for

meaning, for as we know nobody has really died.

Man proposes---------God disposes...........ONS...Tony.
