The LESLIE ARNOLD Show: featuring AKATHA, the Ancient Science of Sahaji
in Spirituality
The Leslie Arnold Show features AKATHA, the Ancient Science of Sahaji. Sahaji is the original derivation as the one Higher Sanskrit word for the English phrases Soul or Spirit Travel, Out-of-Body Experience (OBE), Soul movement, etc. Practicing Sahaji will gain one the SRAOSHA (Spirit) Mastery level of their life as Leslie has also achieved. Further, in Sahaji, initially before mastery within as Soul, one passes into higher levels of consciousness towards this mastery and beyond. At the point of achieving the fifth dimension inwardly traveling through the first four lower planes, one achieves the first goal of AKATHA. That major goal is Self-Realization, the plane of liberation as Soul, the Light and Sound within one. This Sound Current, sometimes called the "SRAOSHA Life Stream," is very uplifting and heard as a high electrical pitch. This high pitch has one now ecstatically experiencing and realizing perhaps for the first time in the life, the experience as Soul, the essence of man. On the show, Leslie interviews the leader of AKATHA, The Mahaji, the 973rd Living SRAOSHA Master. This foremost evolved human is the highest central master in the universe of the longest unbroken line of Spiritual Masters called The Order of the Vairagi. He teaches the way of AKATHA to the ready Soul who may then take the next step onto the path. The membership is free along with all materials and seminars whilst contributions and donations are not accepted. Without charging shows the motive is pure by the path of AKATHA to give out the purest message of Sahaji. No thought can be then that the Living Master is just out to make a living from his teaching. Therefore, please come and join us in our pure motive for a joyfully inspirational vibrationally uplilfting thirty minute experience. Feel the essense of SRAOSHA perhaps for the first time in this life.

Galaxy Tab sees 15% return rate, iPad at 2% (Updated)
Samsung's Android-powered iPad competitor, the Galaxy Tab, is facing both slow sales and a high return rate, according to a new report. Citing data from ITG, the New York Post reports that the Tab saw a 15 percent return rate from its debut in November through January 16. The same data states that the iPad saw a return rate of only two percent over the same period. "Consumers aren't in love with the [Galaxy Tab]," said Tony Berkman, a consumer tech analyst with ITG. Samsung recently announced it had sold two million Galaxy Tab units, but later clarified that statement, saying that was actually the number of devices it shipped to wireless companies and retailers, and adding that sales to consumers were "quite small." Apple had sold 14.79 million iPads as of December 25, based on figures provided in its latest quarterly earnings release.
Update: Samsung has since issued a statement refuting ITG's figures, and stating that the return rate for the Galaxy Tab is "below two percent."

I am surprised that even 2% of iPad owners return their devices. What are they returning them for, anyway? I suppose because they were too expensive.

Its literally an insult for someone to call the Samsung tablet the competitor of the ipad seriously… the Samsung Tablet is just a large verison of Android though the ipad does the same thing, it uses stock iOS (only iOS there is).. Samsung used Android 2.2 touch wiz… I like iOS, but not as much as Androids Stock.

Death by 'zorbing': Horrific moment father-of-two is killed after giant inflatable ball sped out of control and plunged off a cliff
- Denis Burakov, 27, broke his neck and spine in the accident
- Companion Vladimir Shcherbov, 33, was hospitalised with concussion and multiple lacerations to the head and body, but was later released
A father-of-two was killed in a
horrifying accident when a giant inflatable ball in which he and another
man were rolling down a mountain plunged off a cliff at a ski-resort in
southern Russia.
Denis Burakov, 27, married with two young daughters, broke his neck and spine in the zorbing accident, say reports.
His companion Vladimir Shcherbov, 33,
was hospitalised with concussion and multiple lacerations to the head
and body, but miraculously was later released.
Scroll down for video
Denis Burakov, 27, was killed in a horrifying accident when a giant inflatable ball in which he and another man were rolling down a mountain plunged off a cliff. Pictured: Mr Burakov with his two daughters and his wife
Tragic accident: One of the zorbing operators holds the sphere securely as the path it is meant to travel down stretches out ahead
The so-called 'orb' was supposed to come to a halt at the bottom of a gentle snowy piste, designed for the sport, which originates in New Zealand.
But in a terrifying accident filmed by the victim's friends, it lurched first to the right and then to the left.
As he got into the giant ball, an unnamed friend - who filmed the horror - is heard saying: 'Denis, you'll be like Jackie Chan in the Armour of God movie!'
Unknown to come: The pair set off on their journey as they are rolled down the slope by the operators
Bouncing ride: The giant sphere bounces down the path as the pair spin around while harnessed into place
An instructor is asked how far the 'orb' can go, replying 'not that far' and explaining there was a man lower down the mountain ready to catch it if it went off track.
But as it is pushed down the slope, a man's voice is heard saying: 'Oh f***, it's gone in the wrong direction again.'
Suddenly the male voice screams: 'Hold it, hold it! Hold!' Then he says: 'Ah well, it's OK, it'll stop by itself.'
The ball crashes through rocks and teeters on the edge of ravine - before disappearing from view, over the cliff.
Uncontrollable: The ball rolls to the bottom of the hill where people are waiting, but then suddenly veers off to left
Panic: As the massive sphere rolls across the path a figure can be seen desperately chasing after it
Desperate: When the ball rolls over the side of the slope it starts to gather momentum and turns
The friend filming the death ride plunge asks: 'What's going on there?'
The voice replies: 'Nothing.' But then calmly adds: 'A catastrophe.' At this the footage stops.
At terrifying speed, the ball had
plunged down Ganachhirskiy Gorge in the Dombai resort complex in
Russia's North Caucasus mountain range.
Falling steeply and battered by rocks, it was pulled down relentlessly by gravity.
'The orb went on for about one and a
half kilometres, jumping on the rocks and hitting them,' said anaide to
local police commander Sergei Shuvayev .
It came to rest on a frozen lake called Peacock's Eye.
Surrounded by thick woodland it took
rescuers an agonising long time to reach the stricken men, and drag the
orb onto firm ground.
When they got there, Mr Burakov from Pyatigorsk, was still alive but he died on the way to hospital on the day of the incident, 3 January.
Speed: Although the ball slows at a bump - it is not clear from the video which it is - it then tips over and speeds up
Fatal: In the final shot of the terrifying video the ball can be seen spinning out of control down a steep incline
His companion survived. 'He was extremely lucky to get away so lightly,' said a local report.
'As for whatever they felt falling
down the slope it is hard even to imagine. Some compare the pressure to
what cosmonauts feel,' said the Stavropol edition of Komsomolskaya
Pravda newspaper.
A probe has been opened into criminal negligence causing death on the part of the extreme sports organisers.
The maximum penalty is ten years in prison.
Tragic: Denis Burakov, left, pictured during a skiing holiday. Friends said that he had gone on away following the New Year
Family man: Mr Burakov with wife Ekaterina. It was not immediately clear if his wife and his young daughters were with him in Dombai
Astonishingly there were no barriers to prevent the out of control orb rolling relentlessly down the mountain.
Friends said that he had gone on a ski-ing holiday following the New Year.
'He became intrigued about the orb
and the man said the trips were only 300 roubles - and that it was great
fun,' said an onlooker.
'Denis was known to love extreme adventures,' said a friend.
He enjoyed visiting the mountains in winter and summer.
It was not immediately clear if his wife, Ekaterina, and his young daughters were with him in Dombai.
