Just Coincidence?? or Is it Synchronicity!?

On the 5th of December 1664, a ship sank in the Menai Strait off the coast of Wales. On the 5th of December 1785, another ship sank in the same place. On December 5th 1866, a third ship sank there as well. In each case, there was only one survivor, and each time he was called Hugh Williams. This is a perfect example of coincidence (also known as synchro nically), and more are listed below. In 1979, a German magazine - Das Besteran - ran a story writing competition. Readers were asked to send in unusual and interesting stories, but they had to be based on true incidents. The winner, Walter Kellner of Munich, had his story published in the magazine.

The chanting of Shri Rama and celebration reaches its peak during this time. Due to widespread use of western clock and Gregorian calendar people assume 12 p.m. as Madhyana moment. This could have been correct if sunrise and sunset occur exactly at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. respectively but at most places sunrise and sunset timings are different from six O’clock. Hence the exact time to celebrate birthday of Lord Rama falls between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. for most Indian cities.DrikPanchang.com list Hindu midday m...
