O Sudarsana! You are resplendent as a precious decoration on the hand of Narayana, who has the universes as His body. Through your grace, Devas are freed from the fear caused by the Asuras. Indra and Brahma always worship you. The Satapata Brahmana belonging to Yajur Veda hails your glories and pays its tributes to you. The scholars of this universe seek your help to overcome their contestants. Ahirbudhnya Samhita states that Ahirbudhnya (Mahesa) worships you and sought the boon to see your beautiful form with His own eyes. O Lord Sudarsana of illustrious attributes! All glories to you, all glories to you.

paritrahi jagan-natha
dina-bandho namo 'stu te
nistirno 'ham bhavambodhim
prapya tvam taranim sukham

O Lord Jagannatha, please rescue me! O friend of the fallen, I offer my obeisances unto You. Please deliver me from this vast material ocean! Obtaining Your lotus feet I will become supremely happy.

A 15-year-old Norwegian schoolgirl named Maria Lindbjoer Kristoffersen tried to make a call on her Nokia 3310 cell phone inbetween classes at her school in the town of Fjelldal. Smoke poured from the phone as it started shaking in her hand while emitting squeaking noises. Maria flung it away in terror, and the phone exploded like a hand grenade! Burning splinters left scars in the classroom ceiling, walls and floor. Thick smoke filled the room and spread out into the corridor. In a report from Taiwan, another Nokia 3310 burst into flames while in use.

Hira Ratan Manek, 65, is a mechanical engineer in Calicut, Kerala, India. Apparently he has not eaten food since 1995. He claims to take nourishment directly from the sun, by standing barefoot and gazing at the sun during the first hour of sunrise and the last hour of sunset.

There are places along the highways of the Western world that are called "accident black spots" because of the high occurence of fatal crashes for no apparent reason. One such spot was between Uebelbach and Deutschfeistritz on the A9 Pyhm motorway in Styria (Steirmark), Austria. The officials had tried resurfacing the road and putting up warning signs. Despite these measures, accidents continued to happen.

Finally the officials brought in a "Druid priest" named Gerald Knobloch. He erected two crystal monoliths, each weighing a ton, on either side of the road, to rectify disturbed energy lines that he claimed were the cause of the accidents. All this was done in secret. But recently the officials went public about the Druidic hocus pocus on the highway, because their studies show that the accident rate of six fatalities per year fell to zero since the big quartz stones were put up.

My sweet Lord, this report is very strange.

Pineda, Spain, 9 January 2003--a man on a Hayabusa motorbike raced through a highway tollgate without paying, travelling at a speed well beyond the lawful limit. The police were alerted. They set out after the speeder on police motorcycles. Pursuing him for 70 kilometers at speeds up to 180 km/h, they were unable to get his attention. Finally a police rider pulled up next to him and reached, pulling the biker's hand from the throttle. The bike slowed, went off the road, and crashed. The biker was found to have been dead for a time of 30 minutes before his bike crashed. He had frozen to death while riding.
