Puzzle!!!!

Hi,
Here is an interesting puzzle. Solve this!!!

A monk stays in a hut on the edge of a forest, next to a small hill. On top of the hill is a temple. There is only one path that leads from the monk’s hut to the temple and it winds through the hill. One day the monk leaves his hut at 9 AM, walking along the path towards the temple, traveling at his own speed, resting at times. He reaches the temple at 9 PM and stays overnight. He starts his journey back at 9 AM on the second day, along the same path, again traveling at random speeds, and reaches his hut twelve hours later, at 9 PM.

You have to prove there is at least one point on the path that the monk crossed at the same numerical value for time on both the journeys (i.e. he crossed a particular point at X am or pm while traveling to the temple and at exactly X am or pm whatever the case may be on the return journey).

MSVedic Website

We are creating a website for hosting the discussions that take place every thursday at Microsoft. The programme is conducted by Govind Charan Das and it is a very wonderful discussion that we all have on the topic of Bhakti. I was able to attend the first one (the title was: A Deep Dive into the Vedic principles of life). I attended the discussion through livemeeting. But for the next 2 weeks I was not able to attend completely because of the meeting with my team here. I am planning to go to the programme this thursday. Hope that I will go to Building 31 and attend it there:-) so that it will be much fruitful.
Today I chanted 8 rounds and I am feeling very satisfied. Tomorrow is ekadasi and I am planning to observe Ekadasi. Let me see how it goes..
I will give the link of the website once it has been hosted.
Thatz it for now

Gaura Nitai.......

Yesterday was Lord Nithyananda's appearance day. I had to go to the temple, but because of some issues, I could not make it. My room-mates had been to the temple and they told me that I really missed it. However, they got me good prasad:-) and you know what, I had cakes, noodles etc...All these stuff was without eggs. That was really awesome.
Finally I downloaded the movie Michael Madan Kama rajan to my laptop. I need to watch this movie today after going home from office. It is such a wonderful movie. Now I have put Nayagan for downloading, hope that too gets completed without any issues.

Poonal Change

Yesterday I changed my poonal since one of the threads got cut. I had forgot the mantram that needs to be chanted while changing the poonal. However, I thought that I would search it on the net and would definitely give it. My search criteria in google was upanayanam change:-). However I did not get any good results. Then my friend DK told me that just put Poonal change and to my surprise it was the first one to appear on the screen. The site www.vishuji.com is really very good for this. The mantrams are perfectly correct on this site. I then changed my poonal and did also my sandhi. Also my roommate had to change his poonal. So I helped him to change his as well.
Rest of the day went only in reading. I completed all the fundamentals of DS again and also solved some challenging Algorithmic problems. Did not got to the temple because of this. At night, Sundar got some prasad from temple and we all had it together. Even sarva was there with us. It was a nice time. Then narayanan,sarva and myself chatted till 12:30am about various aspects of programming. It was really a very nice discussion.

Sri Sri Radha Neela Madhava at Seattle

These are the dieties of Radha Neela Madhava at Seattle (precisely Sammamish). Actually this photo was taken about 4 months earlier. Now we have good Altars for all the dieties and it looks wonderful. Thanks to Sarva and Naresh Prabhu for importing them from India.

Ekadasi Celebration

Yesterday, I had been to the Iskcon Temple in Sammamish. Since it was Ekadasi, we recited some cantos from the Bhagavad Gita'. It was such a wonderful time in the temple. Then we had prasadam which was fried potatoes, soup, kichidi and fruit salad. It was such transcendental to have such a prasad. Finally I got an oppurtunity to clean the temple. It was such a wonderful experience!!!!.
The seattle dieties are really very very beautiful. Here are the photos of Sri Sri Radha Neela Madhava, Gaura Nitai and Jagannatha, Baladev, Subhadra Mata.
