Saw the google doodle today and George Ferris is celebrated in a Valentine's Day Google Doodle. Well George Ferris ,the Inventor of the ferris wheel was born on Valentine's Day 1859.
What an irony? Cause and effect in the same doodle.. 2 - in - 1
Some one was asking me how i spent the valentines day ?
i said i spent it as Ferris day :)
Came across a nice conversation in Prabhupadavani
the morning walk conversation on June 5, 1974, Geneva by Srila Prabhupada gives a way out of Ferris wheel
Prabhupada: That he does not know. He is a fool. He does not know what is a good result. He will change again. He is a rascal. He is putting himself in this condition; again he'll desire another condition. That is the change of body. That is his wanting. Sometimes he's taking the body of a dog, sometimes he is taking the body of a demigod. Bhramatam upary adhah [1.5.18]. Down, just like, what is that? Merry-go-round.
Pusta-krsna: Ferris wheel, ferris wheel goes up and down.
Prabhupada: Sometimes "I am so up," and again come down. This is going on. Ei rupe brahmanda bhramite kona bhagyavan. Therefore, in this way, going round, one who is very, very fortunate, he, guru-krsna-prasade paya bhakti-lata-bija [Cc. Madhya 19.151], he comes to the devotional life by the mercy of guru and Krsna. This is the beginning of Caitanya Mahaprabhu's instruction. They are under the myth, under the spell of maya. This is going on.
So remembering Guru and Krishna and thanking them as i have atleast started up on the process of devotional service and there is a chance to come out of this Ferris wheel of birth and death.
