Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 doubt : - I heard that SIVA has not become angry (Krodha) at any moment. But the PurANAs clearly says that Siva became angry to KAmadeva and by opening his third eye, Siva lit KAmadeva in fire. How to understand this ? I wish to clarify the doubt to little extent as below. Read it carefully to get it meant.. No where it is expressly implied that Siva became angry at any time and anywhere. After the end of Sati, the daughter of Daksha, Siva was in Dhyaana for 87000 years. At that time Bhavani (Paarvati) was in her teenage (Kumari). Siva menas Viswas and Bhavaani means Sradha. “Bhavaani Sankaraou vande, Sradha Viswasa rUpinou†Let me attempt to make it clear between Sradha and Viswas based on above. BhavAni is the symbol of Sradha and Sankara is symbolized as Viswas. Sati, is daughter of Dakha in her earlier birth and in the next birth, daughter of the couple Himalay and Mena. This means Sradha has birth, growth, existence, decrease and end, means, Sradha has beginning and end. To make it more clear, today I must be having Sradha in a particular person, in a particular thing, in a particular matter, in a particular principle, etc etc but may be it is not there tomorrow. It may disappear. It may leave that-one and catch hold of another one, another thing. Once the Sradha is started towards any onething, it may grow, it may blossom, it may spoil, it may vanish and again take new birth as something else. Siva is Viswas. It never takes birth, it never grow, it never ends or finishes. It is there without beginning and without end. Even if this universe is not there Siva is there. While Siva (Viswas) was in Dhyaana, Parvathi (Sradha) was in its Teens (Kumari). At that time one ASURA is taking birth. That is TArakAsura. TArakAsura is sumbolised as Sansaya (Doubt). It is quite natural that when Viswas closes his eyes (towards everything around him) and when Sradha is in her teenage state –kumar avastha- doubts take birth in the society. For example, suppose an husband fully believes his wife in all her actions, say, she is going around everywhere, say marketing, purchasing, social gatherings, get together, functions etc. and husband does not take much interest in all such affairs, and suppose the wife is pretty beautiful and in teens age, people will start ill talk about her, doubts crop up in the minds of society. We can substitute here wife and husband with father and daughter, brother and sister and the like. At this situation, the doubts coming in the mind of the society is TArakAsura. When the hands of Sradha is given into the hands of Viswas and when a child is born to that Sradha and Viswas, such TArakAsura-like doubts will disappear from the minds of the socity. Only kArthikeya, the son of Siva+Parvati can kill TArakAsura. This is one of the Siva Thathwa. Coming to anger – the word Siva means mangal/kalyaN . Where is anger in it. Anger is taking birth from kAma. Siva was in DhyAna. Due to the fantasy-like climate created by KAmadev, a small-bit- shiver for a fraction of second was felt during DhyAna and it created a small shake in the Bodha of Siva. This was spontaneously brought to normal. That feeling of shiver/shake of mind during DhyAna was kAma and quickly it was removed/vanished or destroyed. When the siver was felt, it thought, what is that matter which made me to break my DhyAna. Realising that it is a fraction of kAma, it was quickly controlled and became to the normal. Anger is taking birth from desires, wishes, lust. Rather it is the child of kAma or Asakti. When the father kAma itself was destroyed, how the child kRodha can take birth, as kRodha is the child of kAma. Man becomes angry only after he is addict to kaama. Once you become angry and does quarrelling or fighting, will the other person praise you for your doings..? But in all the killings in our puraaNaas, whether it is Taarakaasura or anybody, they praise those who killed. Wherever the word kRodha is indicated in Siva CHARITRA or any other CHARITRA it is to be understood in the context of ADVAITAA SARVA BHOOTHANAM . When the SanAthana Dharma is basing on this, all the words, killings, kRodha etc to be understood in this context. When there is no dvaita ( dual ), there is no kRodha or killings. All asurAs and rAkshasAs are praying the Deva who destroyed him. See in rAmAyaNa, bAli is praising rAma, rAvaNa is praising rAma. In the sanaatana dharma the killings are not like Hitler’s killings, Mussolini’s killings. The killings are giving moksha and all curses by rishis are the way to reach the paramaatma for moksha. We are studying the scriptures in a westernized way, everything is being looked into with the help of brain, logic, statistics etc. These method of study is not the Bhaarateeya rishi parampara’s method. Brain is a sense – indriya Logic is product of the sense . Statistics is not truth. You toss a coin for one thousand times and all the thousand times you get the head. But when you toss the same coin for thousand and one time, it cannot be predicted that you will get head. Or another example, your head is in the deepfreezer, your legs are in the oven, and the centre portion is normal. According to statistics, this is an acceptable situation. But who can accept this ? So kindly do not approach the scriptures with our limited knowledge. One needs to get a Guru to know the truth of kRodha, killing etc Trust I could clarify a bit. May Lord Siva bless all Bollywood news, movie reviews, film trailers and more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Dear Vijayan, One must remember that when reading Puranas, you cannot just take things literally. There is no physically third eye that Siva has that shoots a beam of fire. Third eye essentisally means knowledge and Kamadev represents sensual pleasures or desires for such. Desires for sensual pleasures may only be destroyed when divine knowledge, or knolwedge of the truth is acquired. Siva is represented always with that 3rd eye....the eye is knowledge.....HE knows all, is the source of all and cannot be swayed by by maya. Sivas 3rd eye destroying Kamadev is just that.....with supreme knowledge, destroy sensual urges. It has nothing to do with krodh. Hope this is helpful. Thanks, Bhupendra.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Dear devotees, I think this topic is catching fire now. We just need to remember that Siva is Sarveshwara and is widespread in the 5 elements. I had asked a question somewhile ago and have not seen a response for that. I would like to know the meaning a particular sanskrit phrase.The words may not exactly be pronounced or spelled correctly. But it sounds this way.Can I request your expert thought on this."Ye Janma Matrunga ithahapi Janmana Bhavishyathi" "Only in quiet waters things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world."--- On Thu, 3/12/09, VIJAYANJI <vijayankiliyil wrote: VIJAYANJI <vijayankiliyil Siva and kRodha Cc: vijivknDate: Thursday, March 12, 2009, 11:31 AM doubt : - I heard that SIVA has not become angry (Krodha) at any moment.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Namaste all. Peacefully meditating Lord Shiva's 'anger' by burning down Kama deva, the Cupid, has reminded me a few beautiful verses from Srimad Bhagavatam. ....... krodho 'pi te 'nugraha eva sammata ......Lord's Anger is His Mercy too...... The translations are taken from: bhagavatam.net SB 10.16.30: My dear King Parikshit, Lord Krishna's wonderful, powerful dancing trampled and broke all of Kaliya's one thousand hoods. Then the serpent, profusely vomiting blood from his mouths, finally recognized Sri Krishna to be the eternal Personality of Godhead, the supreme master of all moving and nonmoving beings, Sri Narayana. Thus within his mind Kaliya took shelter of the Lord. SB 10.16.31: When Kaliya's wives saw how the serpent had become so fatigued from the excessive weight of Lord Krishna, who carries the entire universe in His abdomen, and how Kaliya's umbrellalike hoods had been shattered by the striking of Krishna's heels, they felt great distress. With their clothing, ornaments and hair scattered in disarray, they then approached the eternal Personality of Godhead. SB 10.16.32: Their minds very much disturbed, those saintly ladies placed their children before them and then bowed down to the Lord of all creatures, laying their bodies flat upon the ground. They desired the liberation of their sinful husband and the shelter of the Supreme Lord, the giver of ultimate shelter, and thus they folded their hands in supplication and approached Him. SB 10.16.33: The wives of the Kaliya serpent said: The punishment this offender has been subjected to is certainly just. After all, You have incarnated within this world to curb down envious and cruel persons. You are so impartial that You look equally upon Your enemies and Your own sons, for when You impose a punishment on a living being You know it to be for his ultimate benefit. SB 10.16.34: What You have done here is actually mercy for us, since the punishment You give to the wicked certainly drives away all their contamination. Indeed, because this conditioned soul, our husband, is so sinful that he has assumed the body of a serpent, Your anger toward him is obviously to be understood as Your mercy. SB 10.16.35: Did our husband carefully perform austerities in a previous life, with his mind free of pride and full of respect for others? Is that why You are pleased with him? Or did he in some previous existence carefully execute religious duties with compassion for all living beings, and is that why You, the life of all living beings, are now satisfied with Him? SB 10.16.36: O Lord, we do not know how the serpent Kaliya has attained this great opportunity of being touched by the dust of Your lotus feet. For this end, the goddess of fortune performed austerities for centuries, giving up all other desires and taking austere vows. SB 10.16.37: Those who have attained the dust of Your lotus feet never hanker for the kingship of heaven, limitless sovereignty, the position of Brahma or rulership over the earth. They are not interested even in the perfections of yoga or in liberation itself. SB 10.16.38: O Lord, although this Kaliya, the king of the serpents, has taken birth in the mode of ignorance and is controlled by anger, he has achieved that which is difficult for others to achieve. Embodied souls, who are full of desires and are thus wandering in the cycle of birth and death, can have all benedictions manifested before their eyes simply by receiving the dust of Your lotus feet. SB 10.16.39: We offer our obeisances unto You, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Although present in the hearts of all living beings as the Supersoul, You are all-pervasive. Although the original shelter of all created material elements, You exist prior to their creation. And although the cause of everything, You are transcendental to all material cause and effect, being the Supreme Soul.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Dear Bhupendra Ji Om Namah Shivaaya Sir, do you think that since the two of the other Tri-Dev (Brahmaa and Vishnu) do not have the third eye, this means that they do not have Divine knowledge or the knowledge of Truth? Only Lord Shiv has it? And if it is so then why only he is depicted with the third eye, and no other Devtaa?

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Dear Sushma Ji, My statement was on Lord Siva alone. I do not have the capacity to think hpow capable Lord Brahma or Vishnu are. They are certainly more than I could or anyone oculd imagine. But certainly Lord Siva is the only one shown with a 3rd eye, Lord Siva is the only one referred to as Maha Kaala and is the only one addressed as Mahadeva. There is something about this which is different and mystery to us all Surely someone who is Maha Kaala (or the ruler of time) will determine how things are or will be in the present or even a 1000 kalpas from now. But certaoinly the 3rd eye is not for throwing flames at others. Regards, Bhupendra.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Dear Dev Maharaj Ji, First of all, it is an honour to have you reply to one of my messages and to know that you still remember me from previous email exchanges. No, I do not know Maha Kaala personally. But what I m beginning to realise is that he has abosolute control. For every moment we breath, or cry or laugh or enjoy or pray, it has been decided been HIM alone. But I would still not think of him taking a human form with the 3rd eye throwing flames at what makes him angry. The rules of karma are laid out, there is absolutely nothing that anybody could do that he does not know beforehand...I see beings as only an instrument of HIS will alone. There are various reasons why someone would get angry....when someones ego is hurt for instance or when someone is hurt mentally or physically or buy seeing someone else hurt etc. There is abosolutely nothing that Siva does not know beforehand so why would HE suddenly become angry just like an ordinary human and start throwing flames? I am sure that if I had a third eye, I would have used it by now a few times. That thought in itself is sufficient to make me feel that the Lord would not do that. This is of course my opinion, I do not perosnally know the Lord so he doesn't tell me these things. I can only make a guess. Regards, Bhupendra.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Pranams to all Shiv Bhaktas, Bhagavan Shiv is not an object in consciousness, he is the very consciousness which permits us to think and function. That is why, Veda says he is " samasta sakshim tamasaha parastaat " . This body/birth is a result of karta/bhokta bhava in previous births so mentally burning the body and offering it to Bhagavan seems like a very meaningful puja. By the way, this topic of krodha reminds me what I recently heard in a lecture. In Chamakam one of the things we pray for is krodha (don't know the exact sanskrit word) but it is definitely one of the things prayed for . The explanation provided is that many times, a clear, unambiguous and firm verbal expression is required and that is asked for in Chamakam. regards, Shailendra , Dev Maharaj <dev_maharaj wrote: > > But certarinly the 3rd eye is not for throwing flames at others. > > How do you know this factually?

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Namaste, While on the topic of krodha, following is from Chamakam manyus cha may Bhaamas cha may (which is translated as internal and external anger) I would appreciate if experts can comment on the significance of this part of Chamakam. regards, Shailendra , Bhupendra Jamnadas <b_jamna> wrote: > > Dear Dev Maharaj Ji, > > First of all, it is an honour to have you reply to one of my messages and to know that you still remember me from previous email exchanges. > > No, I do not know Maha Kaala personally. But what I m beginning to realise is that he has abosolute control. For every moment we breath, or cry or laugh or enjoy or pray, it has been decided been HIM alone. But I would still not think of him taking a human form with the 3rd eye throwing flames at what makes him angry. The rules of karma are laid out, there is absolutely nothing that anybody could do that he does not know beforehand...I see beings as only an instrument of HIS will alone. There are various reasons why someone would get angry....when someones ego is hurt for instance or when someone is hurt mentally or physically or buy seeing someone else hurt etc. There is abosolutely nothing that Siva does not know beforehand so why would HE suddenly become angry just like an ordinary human and start throwing flames? I am sure that if I had a third eye, I would have used it by now a few times. That thought in itself is sufficient to make me feel that > the Lord would not do that. > > This is of course my opinion, I do not perosnally know the Lord so he doesn't tell me these things.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 But I would still not think of him taking a human form with the 3rd eye throwing flames at what makes him angry.As Mahadeva he has absolute will and can assume any form according to his purpose, inclusive of assuming one with three eyes or five heads or eight heads or a million for that matter. This is for HIS Lila and to accomplish acts. Further this is also necessary to communicate with us at a human level, most humans DO NOT possess the requisite consciousness to understand him, therefore to project HIS message these forms are assumedLord Siva in his Nirguna state is pure consciousness and his ability to transform from state to state is limitless, in mediatation he has shown me forms that I have found in no book !Namah Sivaya--- On Wed, 3/18/09, Bhupendra Jamnadas <b_jamna> wrote:Bhupendra Jamnadas <b_jamna>Re: Re: Siva and kRodha Date: Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 6:34 AM Dear Dev Maharaj Ji, First of all, it is an honour to have you reply to one of my messages and to know that you still remember me from previous email exchanges.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Certainly he has complete control and can take any form. But is there any need for him to get angry and throw flames when nothing happens without HIS fore-knowledge and therefore nothing should surprise him or make HIM angry. To say the Lord Siva would get angry and throw flames would indicate that anger has control over the supreme...so who is then the supreme...anger or the Lord? The laws of karma and nature are adequate to take care of anything. There is no need for HIM to throw flames. One might think that HE is angry when one looks at the devastations caused by natural and man-made disasters around the world. But nothing is happening beyond the rules of nature and karma set by HIM. For HIM to throw flames would indicate something out of control...something happened that HE could not imagine. Thus whole idea makes HIM less then supreme. The forms thar are dscribed in our books on our imagination. The Lord can take any form that we can imagine and those that we cannot. There is a whole universe out there with life forms that we might not even be able to imagine in our dreams. But these are all Lords design. So certainly he can take the most extraordinary form that has never even been seen before in the universe. I do not dispute. What I am saying is that HE being the supreme has everything under his control and there is nothing that surprises HIM or puts him out of balance or causes HIM anger.

This is for HIS Lila and to accomplish acts. Further this is also necessary to communicate with us at a human level, most humans DO NOT possess the requisite consciousness to understand him, therefore to project HIS message these forms are assumedLord Siva in his Nirguna state is pure consciousness and his ability to transform from state to state is limitless, in mediatation he has shown me forms that I have found in no book !Namah Sivaya--- On Wed, 3/18/09, Bhupendra Jamnadas <b_jamnadas (AT) (DOT) ca> wrote: Bhupendra Jamnadas <b_jamnadas (AT) (DOT) ca>Re: [om_namah_shivaya_ group] Re: Siva and kRodhaom_namah_shivaya_ group@ s.comWednesday, March 18, 2009, 6:34 AM Dear Dev Maharaj Ji, First of all, it is an honour to have you reply to one of my messages and to know that you still remember me from previous email exchanges. No, I do not know Maha Kaala personally. But what I m beginning to realise is that he has abosolute control. For every moment we breath, or cry or laugh or enjoy or pray, it has been decided been HIM alone. But I would still not think of him taking a human form with the 3rd eye throwing flames at what makes him angry. The rules of karma are laid out, there is absolutely nothing that anybody could do that he does not know beforehand.. .I see beings as only an instrument of HIS will alone. There are various reasons why someone would get angry....when someones ego is hurt for instance or when someone is hurt mentally or physically or buy seeing someone else hurt etc. There is abosolutely nothing that Siva does not know beforehand so why would HE suddenly become angry just like an ordinary human and start throwing flames? I am sure that if I had a third eye, I would have used it by now a few times. That thought in itself is sufficient to make me feel that the Lord would not do that. This is of course my opinion, I do not perosnally know the Lord so he doesn't tell me these things. I can only make a guess. Regards, Bhupendra.

Do you know MAha Kaala Personally ? If Lord Siva is Mahadeva, then it stands to reason that he CAN do as he pleases, if it suits his purpose !Further Bhupendra, you are limiting Lord Siva based upon your limited perception of him !This is a VERY VERY serious mistake. I understand that you are a tender person but to continue to do this out of misunderstanding / weakness will only lead you into error.In the past I advised you, when doing Manasa puja to visualize Lord Siva's third eye burning your body to ashes and then with what was left of you, to use the Ashes to smear his body. The effect of doing this is to cleanse your own body. It also prepares you for the ultimate transition - DEATH.. --- On Sun, 3/15/09, Bhupendra Jamnadas <b_jamnadas (AT) (DOT) ca> wrote: Bhupendra Jamnadas <b_jamnadas (AT) (DOT) ca>Re: [om_namah_shivaya_ group] Re: Siva and kRodhaom_namah_shivaya_ group@ s.comSunday, March 15, 2009, 11:58 AM Dear Sushma Ji, My statement was on Lord Siva alone. I do not have the capacity to think hpow capable Lord Brahma or Vishnu are. They are certainly more than I could or anyone oculd imagine. But certainly Lord Siva is the only one shown with a 3rd eye, Lord Siva is the only one referred to as Maha Kaala and is the only one addressed as Mahadeva. There is something about this which is different and mystery to us all Surely someone who is Maha Kaala (or the ruler of time) will determine how things are or will be in the present or even a 1000 kalpas from now. But certaoinly the 3rd eye is not for throwing flames at others. Regards, Bhupendra.

Only Lord Shiv has it?And if it is so then why only he is depicted with the third eye, and no other Devtaa?With regardsSushmaom_namah_shivaya_ group@ s.com, Bhupendra Jamnadas <b_jamnadas@ ...> wrote:>> Dear Vijayan,> > One must remember that when reading Puranas, you cannot just take things literally.> > There is no physically third eye that Siva has that shoots a beam of fire. Third eye essentisally means knowledge and Kamadev represents sensual pleasures or desires for such. Desires for sensual pleasures may only be destroyed when divine knowledge, or knolwedge of the truth is acquired. Siva is represented always with that 3rd eye....the eye is knowledge... ..HE knows all, is the source of all and cannot be swayed by by maya. Sivas 3rd eye destroying Kamadev is just that.....with supreme knowledge, destroy sensual urges.

After the end of Sati, the daughter of Daksha, Siva was in Dhyaana for 87000 years. At that time Bhavani (Paarvati) was in her teenage (Kumari). Siva menas Viswas and Bhavaani means Sradha. >  > “Bhavaani Sankaraou vande, Sradha Viswasa rUpinouâ€� >  > Let me attempt to make it clear between Sradha and Viswas based on above.  BhavAni is the symbol of Sradha and Sankara is symbolized as Viswas. Sati, is daughter of Dakha in her earlier birth and in the next birth, daughter of the couple Himalay and Mena. This means Sradha has birth, growth, existence, decrease and end, means, Sradha has beginning and end. To make it more clear, today I must be having Sradha in a particular person, in a particular thing, in a particular matter, in a particular principle, etc etc but may be it is not there tomorrow. It may disappear. It may leave that-one and catch hold of another one, another thing. Once the Sradha is started towards any onething, it may grow, it may blossom, it may spoil, it may vanish and again take new birth as something else. >  > Siva is Viswas. It never takes birth, it never grow, it never ends or finishes. It is there without beginning and without end. Even if this universe is not there Siva is there. >  > While Siva (Viswas) was in Dhyaana, Parvathi (Sradha) was in its Teens (Kumari). At that time one ASURA is taking birth. That is TArakAsura. TArakAsura is sumbolised as Sansaya (Doubt). It is quite natural that when Viswas closes his eyes (towards everything around him) and when Sradha is in her teenage state â€"kumar avastha- doubts take birth in the society. For example, suppose an husband fully believes his wife in all her actions, say, she is going around everywhere, say marketing, purchasing, social gatherings, get together, functions etc. and husband does not take much interest in all such affairs, and suppose the wife is pretty beautiful and in teens age, people will start ill talk about her, doubts crop up in the minds of society.  We can substitute here wife and husband with father and daughter, brother and sister and the like.  At this situation, the doubts coming in the mind of the society is TArakAsura.  When the hands of> Sradha is given into the hands of Viswas and when a child is born to that Sradha and Viswas, such TArakAsura-like doubts will disappear from the minds of the socity. Only kArthikeya, the son of Siva+Parvati can kill TArakAsura. This is one of the  Siva Thathwa. >  > Coming to anger â€" the word Siva means mangal/kalyaN . Where is anger in it. >    > Anger is taking birth from kAma . Siva was in DhyAna. Due to the fantasy-like climate created by KAmadev, a small-bit- shiver for a fraction of second was felt during DhyAna and it created a small shake in the Bodha of Siva. This was spontaneously brought to normal. That feeling of shiver/shake of mind during DhyAna was kAma and quickly it was removed/vanished or destroyed.  When the siver was felt, it thought, what is that matter which made me to break my DhyAna. Realising that it is a fraction of kAma , it was quickly controlled and became to the normal. >  > Anger is taking birth from desires, wishes, lust. Rather it is the child of kAma or Asakti.  When the father kAma itself was destroyed, how the child kRodha can take birth, as kRodha is the child of kAma . >  > Man becomes angry only after he is addict to kaama. Once you become angry and does quarrelling or fighting, will the other person praise you for your doings..? But in all the killings in our puraaNaas, whether it is Taarakaasura or anybody, they praise those who killed.  >  > Wherever the word kRodha is indicated in Siva CHARITRA or any other CHARITRA  it is to be understood in the context of ADVAITAA SARVA BHOOTHANAM . When the SanAthana Dharma is basing on this, all the words, killings, kRodha etc to be understood in this context. When there is no dvaita ( dual ), there is no kRodha or killings.    All asurAs and rAkshasAs are praying  the Deva who destroyed him. See in rAmAyaNa, bAli  is praising rAma, rAvaNa is praising rAma.   >  > In the sanaatana dharma the killings are not like Hitler’s killings, Mussolini’s killings. The killings are giving moksha and all curses by rishis are the way to reach the paramaatma for moksha.     >  > We are studying the scriptures in a westernized way, everything is being looked into with the help of brain, logic, statistics etc. These method of study is not the Bhaarateeya rishi parampara’s method.   >  > Brain is a sense â€" indriya > Logic is product of the sense .  > Statistics is not truth. You toss a coin for one thousand times and all the thousand times you get the head. But when you toss the same coin for thousand and one time, it cannot be predicted that you will get head.   Or another example,  your head is in the deepfreezer, your legs are in the oven,  and the centre portion is normal. According to statistics, this is an acceptable situation. But who can accept this ?  >  > So kindly do not approach the scriptures with our limited knowledge. One needs to get a Guru to know the truth of kRodha, killing etc >  > Trust I could clarify a bit. >  > May Lord Siva bless  all > > ____________ _________ _________ __> Bollywood news, movie reviews, film trailers and more! > > > > ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _> Instant Messaging, free SMS, sharing photos and more...
