Look at the bottom left corner of your checks. If you have a Personal account the first sequence of numbers, usually a nine-digit number, is your ABA (American Bankers Association) routing number. If you have a Business account the ABA number will follow the six-digit check number at the bottom of the check. The ABA number is also known as a Routing and Transit Number, RTN, or bank number. It was established by the American Bankers Association to identify the accountholder's bank

Where did the saying take the high road come from?

Could be from the traditional Scottish song, The Bonnie Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond, which begins: By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae,On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond. Oh, ye'll tak the high road, and I'll tak the low road,And I'll be in Scotland afore ye;But me and my true love will never meet againOn the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

Is it possible to unlearn something?

Certainly, it's possible to forget or 'unlearn" something. However, it depends on the quantity and quality of the material being forgotten exactly how much time and effort would be required. For example, to unlearn something that was fairly simple to learn and has no close connection with anything else in your banks of knowledge should be relatively simple. However, if we're talking about chemical formulas that are interconnected with other sets of formulas with which you are familiar, it might be difficult to separate those which you want to forget and those which you should remember.


Why is Rizal in one peso coin and not in higher bills?

Looking Back Coins, paper bills, and heroes By Ambeth Ocampo Philippine Daily Inquirer First Posted 01:07:00 07/16/2008 Filed Under: history, Personalities, Human Interest One of the most challenging exam questions I used to torment my students with required completing a table listing down all the coins and paper bills currently in use, from the one-centavo coin to the P1,000 bill. Worse, they had to list down the heroes commemorated in each without opening their wallets. We go on through life and see many things daily but we rarely notice. Coins and bills are exchanged every day, yet we hardly take the trouble to read the text on them or reflect on their design. I would like to think that by placing historical figures in our currency, the central bank, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), is teaching us some form of history. Whether this is effective is another story. Poor Lapu-lapu used to be on the one-centavo coin. He was last seen on the coin with his earrings and head gear when the BSP made one-centavo coins in aluminum. It was so light it could float on water. This coin was even used by enterprising tailors as buttons, until the BSP reminded the public that it is unlawful to tinker with our currency. Then the heroes rightfully disappeared from the depreciating small-denomination coins that began to shrink. To save on metal these coins were even made lighter by a hole. How could we, in conscience, puncture a hole through Lapu-lapu, Balagtas, or Melchora Aquino? Few people realize that these coins though in use are rarely in circulation because the actual cost of making these lower-denomination coins is much higher than its face value! Metal prices being what they are today, the BSP has often caught people smuggling out our coins to be melted and re-used in other countries. The BSP periodically has a campaign to get coins out of piggy banks and into circulation again so that there will be no need to mint new ones. One would think that currency is a quiet business, until you get petitions from various groups asking for changes in design. For example, the people of Bulacan province want Barasoain Church reinstated on our paper bills. Then there was the "Pangitiin si Ninoy Movement," a lobby group that wrote the BSP governor requesting a change in the present P500 bill. They argued that Benigno Aquino Jr. doesn't smile. Worse, his pensive mood with a hand on his chin was not good for design or for feng shui. If we are to go by the records of the old Central Bank of the Philippines, the P500 bill was first issued during the post-Marcos or Cory Aquino administration, hence the predominant color yellow. The photograph of Ninoy was a personal favorite of the then president. My question was, why make Ninoy smile? Look at the other bills, and note that nobody smiles, except Josefa Llanes Escoda on the P1,000. The more important question should be, who gets into bank notes, coins and stamps and why? More than a historiographical issue is that of aesthetics and personal taste. There was a recent move to change the present P20 bill into a P20 coin. It was argued that coins last longer than paper. The historical figure on this denomination, Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon, would remain, but when consulted as a courtesy, the family of the late president wanted the image changed. They preferred an older, wiser looking Quezon. We were shown a photograph of Quezon and I gasped because he looked tubercular in the picture. What is wrong with the young Quezon on the present P20 bill? Why replace this with a tired, old Quezon? With due respect to the family, I argued: Shouldn't historical figures be better remembered at the height of their lives rather than in their twilight? Vain as he was, I'm sure Quezon would have wanted to look good for posterity. Here we have a question not of history but of popular memory, aesthetics, and our wish to be elevated by history. Even without going to school, Filipinos learn of historical personages by handling coins and bank notes. They also learn about historical places and landmark buildings by looking at the reverse of bank notes. In a sense, here is history in use, but whose history is being promoted? Who is the target audience? What is the intended result of this informal, some would say subliminal, historical lesson? Who are the historical persons, events and places that never get into Philippine currency and why? Take the trouble to notice and reflect, and you get more questions than answers.


What are the teachings of Tulsidas?

The Path Of Bhakti 'Sri Rama is the Parabrahma. He is all-powerful. He is Purushothama (The Man Supreme). His deeds, word manners and conduct alone are the models of an ideal life. Singing hymns in His honour as his servants is the on way to attain His grace and a salvation. Knowing Him to be their master, The duty of human beings is to offer their services to Him.' This is the sum and substance of the Bhakti cult of Tulasidas. After some time Tulasidas began to think of leaving Chitrakoota. This was because he had a feeling that he would not be able to see Sri Rama there. So he went to Ayodhya, the birth place of Rama. For a long time he did 'tapas' (leading a very strict life, giving up all pleasures and devoting all the time to the contemplation of God) there. But even there he did not get the vision of Sri Rama. His mind was not at ease. Day by day his desire to see Sri Rama grew more and more intense. One day it suddenly flashed to his mind that God Anjaneya's grace 'was essential for him to see Sri Rama. Yes. Anjaneya was the greatest devotee of Sri Rama. Only he could help Tulasidas see Sri Rama. So the first thing was, to see Anjaneya. The Meeting With Anjaneya People say that Tulasidas got the opportunity of seeing Anjaneya because of the help of a Brahmarakshasa (a spirit under curse). Kashi (Banares) is a holy place on the banks of the sacred river Ganga. The famous temple of Lord Vishweshwara is in Kashi. And it is also the home of Hindu culture. In one part of Kashi there was a temple of Anjaneya. Tulasidas made it his home. He used to bathe in the Ganga every day and then go to theVishweshwara temple to offer prayers; thereafter for hours he would be immerse in meditation. In the evening he gave discourses. In this way a few years passed. One day as usual Tulasidas poured water out of his vessel at the foot of a tree. As Tulasidas was returning with his head bowed, suddenly a brahmarakshasa appeared before him, and saluted him. The water was sanctified by the touch of Tulasidas; it fell on the rakshasa and he was freed from a curse. Full of gratitude the liberated spirit said to Tulasidas, "Please tell me, sir, what I can do for you." There was but one wish that haunted Tulasidas day and night and that was to see Sri Rama by winning the grace of Anjaneya. So he said to the brahmarakshasa "Please help me to meet God Anianeya." The spirit said: "An ugly old man comes to listen to your discourses in the temple every day. Probably you have not noticed him. He is the first to come and the last to go. His looks are disgusting. But he is none other than Anjaneya. Look for him." So Anjaneya himself had been attending his discourses! Tulasidas jumped with joy. In the evening Tulasidas went to the discourse hall full of devotion. The ugly old man was already there in a corner. Tulasidas felt like running to him, and falling at his feet and crying out, "Show me Lord Sri Rama." But he checked himself. The discourse began. The entire discourse that evening seemed to be meant only for that old man. All the time Tulasidas's eyes were fixed on him. The discourse concluded with Ram Bhajan; the audience dispersed. The old man also slowly got up and began to walk away. Tulasidas followed him. The old man left the main road and took a path leading to a forest. Tulasidas noise lessly walked behind him, praying within himself to Anjaneya. They were now in the heart of the forest. Tulasidas suddenly ran up to the old man and fell at his feet, praying: "My master, please show me Sri Rama. Lord Anjaneya, have mercy on me." The old man pretended to know nothing. Shaking him off he said, "What is all this? I am not Anjaneya. Let go my feet." But Tulasidas persisted. I know it all now. You are Hanumantha, the trusted servant of Sri Rama. I won't leave your feet unless you reveal your true self to me and fulfil my wish, come what will. Even death" said Tulasidas. He implored and entreated him in several ways. Then Anjaneya appeared in his true form and said, "Look, hide yourself behind this bush. Sri Rama and Lakshmana will come this way shortly. Then you can see them." There are several stories about how Tulasidas saw Sri Rama and Lakshmana. Sri Rama And Lakshmana Tulasidas felt immensely happy and once again touched Anjaneya's feet in reverence. He danced in ecstasy chanting Sri Rama's sacred name and crouched behind the bush as directed by Anjaneya. He was all eyes as he watched. Tulasidas waited and waited. Two princes on horse-back passed that way. Tulasidas sat there, his mind fixed on Lord Rama. But Sri Rama and Lakshmana did not come at all. After a long, time Anjaneya appeared in the disguise of the same old man. Tulasidas once again clasped his knees and prayed: "Lord Anjaneya, I have waited so far, but Sri Rama and Lakshmana haven't come Don't you pity me even now? Won't you show me Sri Rama and Lakshmana no at least?" Anjaneya said with a smile: "Did you not see two princes on horseback? They were Sri Rama and Lakshmana." Tulasidas was very unhappy as he realized his own ignorance. "Miserable that I am, my own eyes turned out to be my enemies," he said weeping. Once again he prayed to Anjaneya. He seemed to hear Anjaneya speaking from the sky: 'Go to Ayodhya; you will have darshan of Sri Rama, Seetha and Lakshmana in their gracious form.' There are other stories also about how Tulasidas was able to see Sri Rama and Lakshmana. It is said that after some years Tulasidas had another opportunity of seeing Sri Rama; it is also said Sri Rama asked him to put a mark of sandal paste on his forehead. There is an episode in the 'Ramacharitamanasa'. When, after crossing the river Yamuna, Sri Rama, Seetha and Lakshmana step into Chitrakoota, a young hermit prostrates a their feet. He is overcome with devotion and forgets himself. Seetha Devi bestows her blessings on him. It is said that, at this point, Tulasidas recalls how he had seen Sri Rama; the young hermit, it is said, is Tulasidas's picture of himself. 'Ramacharitamanasa' Tulasidas left Kashi and went again to Ayodhya. While he was in Kashi he seems to have composed two poems; 'Janaki Mangala' and 'Parvathi Mangala'. In Ayodhya he did rigorous tapas in, utter solitude for some time. Then he' made up his mind to write the 'Ramacharitamanasa'. He himself saw Sri Rama, Seetha and Lakshmana in this epic; and he enabled the readers, too' to see them. Tulasidas has depicted most effectively in his 'Ramacharitamanasa' how by his own example Sri Rama, the God born as man, set an ideal before the people of this world. Just as Sri Rama is sketched as an ideal leader and king, Seetha Devi is portrayed as a gem of ideal womanhood. She shines as a bright lamp placed on the threshold, illuminating two homes - that of her parents and that of her husband. She was dear not only to her parents but also to her servants. At the time of sending her to her husband's house, all the queens and their companions were sad. The very parrots in golden cages cried, "O, where is Seetha?" This is just one example to show how Tulasidas's picture of the simplicity and goodness of Seetha Devi is different from Valmiki's picture. There are some very touching episodes in the 'Ramacharita- manasa', which are not found in other Ramayanas. These delicate flowers of the poet's imagination give forth a sweet fragrance of Bhakti. One such episode reveals Guha's Bhakti. He is the chieftain of the boatmen and a staunch devotee of Sri Rama. When Sri Rama, Seetha and Lakshmana come to the forest Guha serves them in many ways. The next day Guha is to ferry them across the river. Sri Rama is about to step into the boat. Then Guha behaves n a way which at first seems stange. He says to Rama, 'My Lord, pardon me; I Cannot allow you to get into the boat until I wash your feet. The mere touch of the dust of your feet turned a stone into a woman, the wife of a sage. What am I to do it my boat turns into a woman at the touch of the dust of your feet?" (Ahalya had become a stone by a curse; the divine touch of Sri Rama made her again a woman). Tulasidas has depicted this situation very touchingly. In the words of Guha, a fine sense of humour, innocent devotion and Rama's divinity are all reflected at the same time. Tulasidas has also brought out Bharatha's intense love for his brother, the affection of Dasharatha for his son, the simplicity of Sumitra. Rama's magnanimity and grace in' his treatment of Shabari and Jatayu and many other such virtues. The scholars of Tulasidas's times thought that epics ought to be composed only in Sanskrit. Tulasidas knew that scholars would object that his epic was in Hindi, the language of the common man. But he believed that good poetry, like the sacred river Ganga, should be accessible to one and all and should reach everyone. On the whole, Tulasidas's 'Ramacharitamanasa' preaches the traditional values of truth and righteousness, but presents them in greater splendour in a new context. When people had lost courage and were groping in darkness, Tulasidas's 'Ramacharita manasa' appeared as a guiding light of culture; it showed them the divine figure of Sri Rama in the bright light of Bhakti. A Challenge Tulasidas thought that Kashi was the best place for the publication of his work. So he went again to Kashi. In the same cottage, the old activities of the day and the evening discourses were resumed. But now he recited passages from his .own 'Ramacharitamanasa' and explained them. The scholarship and genius of Goswami Tulasidas won the admiration of the people of Kashi. They regarded him as the incarnation of Valmiki. Several scholars became his disciples. Thousands of people realized the greatness of Bhakti and became devotees of Sri Rama. Has there been an age without the wicked and the jealous? There is a story about how the attempts of such people to discredit the 'Ramacharitamanasa' ended only in confirming its greatness. The detractors joined hands. They planned to insult the 'Ramacharitamanasa' and destroy its popularity. One day a conference of scholars was held in the temple of Lord Vishwanatha. All reputed works of literature, religion and philosophy were read out. The 'Ramacharitamanasa' also was recited. Then all the works were arranged in a pile. The crooked fellows put the copy of the 'Ramacharitamanasa' at the bottom, as a deliberate insult. But the next morning when the doors of the temple were opened the 'Ramacharita manasa' was found on top of all the books. Then everybody realised the merit of the 'Ramacharitamanasa' and the greatness of Tulasidas. Another such incident happened. The opponents of Tulasidas joined together. They took a copy of the 'Ramacharitamanasa' to Madhusudan Saraswathi, a great master and exponent of Advaita philosophy and said, "Please tell us what you think of this book, sir." Madhusudan Saraswathi was an advaiti, Tulasidas did not belong to this school of philosophy. So the crooked fellows thought that Madhusudan Saraswathi would surely condemn that book. Then they could easily carry on their propaganda against the work. But what happen6d was entirely different. Pandit Madhusudan Saraswathi read the entire work, then he said: "There is a plant called Tulasi in the garden of poetry. Sri Rama is the bee buzzing about the flowers of poetic beauty that have blossomed on its branches." The Will Of Maruthi The reputation of Goswami Tulasidas was not limited to Kashi only. It spread all over North India. Many Muslims also became Tulasidas's followers and worshipped Rama. There is a story associated with Emperor Jahangir. The fame of Tulasidas reached the ears of Jahangir. He wanted to see Tulasidas. When Tulasidas visited Agra, the emperor invited him and treated him with great respect. The emperor said, "I hear that you perform miracles. Let me see a miracle." Tulasidas modestly replied, "I don't perform miracles. All powers belong to Sri Rama." The emperor was stubborn. He said, "I won't let you go until you show me a miracle." He imprisoned him in the fort of Salimgad (Gwalior). 'Everything is Anjaneya's will,' said Tulasidas and sat down with folded hands. All of a sudden a band of monkeys burst into the palace. They rushed into the queens' apartment and caused great havoc. They were not afraid of even the soldiers. It was only after Tulasidas was released that the emperor was free from their menace. From that time Tulasidas and his followers were never troubled by the emperor. So goes a story. Historians say that, during this period, Tulasidas wrote 'Satsai' - a book of 700 verses. Krishna And Rama Are One Gradually the number of followers of Tulasidas grew enormously. Poets like Nabhadas, Pranachand Chowhan, Hridayararn and Agradas became his disciples, too. Inspired by his preachings and ideal life they devoted themselves to the task of spreading the cult of Rama Bhakti. Once Tulasidas came to Mathura, the centre of Krishna's devotees. Goswami went to the temple of Krishna. He was greeted and welcomed warmly by the holy men there. They said to him, "Sir, we believe that you are a matchless devotee of Sri Rama. Is it true you never sing of any gods other than Sri Rama?" Tulasidas said, "No. It is not so. In fact Sri Rama is Sri Krishna." And then he composed on the spot a song on Sri Krishna and sang it. Though it was on Sri Krishna, the attributes were those of Sri Rama. The saints and sages gathered there were highly pleased. It is said that a miracle took place. Even as Tulasidas's song ended the idol of Sri Krishna (with a flute in his hand) in the inner shrine appeared as the idol of Sri Rama holding a bow in his hand. People who witnessed this sight stood amazed. They were full of praise for Tulasidas who showed that Sri Rama and Sri Krishna were one. After this Tulasidas composed his 'Krishna Geetavali'. Goswami Tulasidas had visited all the holy places. He spent his last days in Kashi. It is said that in his last days he suffered from pain in the arms. Having lived a fruitful and saintly life of 136 years Tulasidas passed away in 1680 of the Vikrama Era (i.e. 1623 A. D.) in Asighat of Kashi. Scholars say that Goswami Tulasidas has written 37 books. But only 12 of them have survived. TULASIDAS A Great Man Tulasidas was a great man. He suffered much hardship from his early years. He did not know the care and affection of father and mother. He was brought up by the charity of the people. Even after he became a sanyasi, difficulties did not cease. When he settled down in Kashi, many blamed him, and many made fun of him. But he was always patient and calm. Once he said, "Some say that Tulasi does bad deeds. Some call him a big cheat. Some others say that he truly is a devotee of Rama. I can bear all comments. My mind is untroubled. Whatever is to happen to Tulasi, good or bad, is in the hands of Rama." Kindness and courage were blended in him A Brahmin, it seems, had done something bad. So he came to Kashi to purify himself. The orthodox people kept him at a distance as an outcaste. But Tulasidas treated him as one of his own people. He knew full well that the orthodox people would be furious; he knew he would have to face severe criticism. Yet he ate the food prepared by that brahmin. Tulasidas was a very great scholar. He had made a profound study of Indian philosophy and literature. But his scholarship did not make him arrogant. For him meditation on Rama was more important than all other things. Whatever the difficulties one should not lose zest in life. One should always do good to others treating all as the children of God, making no distinction of caste, status or rank. This was the way he showed to others and this was how he himself lived. TULASIDAS Immortal Poet Tulasidas showed the way of Bhakti. It is a good way of life even today. The characters he has sketched such as .Sri Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata, Seetha, Anjaneya, Vibheeshana, Jatayu, Guha and Sugreeva are ideal figures of Hindu culture. We should rejoice that such a great poet and a saint of such high order as Goswami Tulasidas was born in this country, and lived and carried on his mission here.
