NatarajanLeave a comment

February 13 is the WORLD RADIO DAY… Why do we need to celebrate this Day ?The Radio is an integral part of people”s lives. In those days before the advent of TV , radio brought the family together to listen to news, music and drama.

Radio continues to play the role of family unifier bringing in its wake music and local news.

Here are some fun facts about Radio….

#Radio is ranked Number 2 in the list of 101 Gadgets that changed the world according to History Channel..

# One incident that truly demonstrated the power of Radio way back in 1930s is the dramatisation of H.G.Well”s “THE WAR OF WORLDS”. On October 30 1938, a regular radio programme was interrupted by a news bulletin announcing the invasion of Earth by Martians, and what followed was utter panic and chaos !!! It was later found that the radio adaptation of the science fiction was altered to present it in a more realistic way !!!!!

# Today there are over 100000 radio stations around the world. Worldwide, there are more than Two Billion radio sets in use….a proof that video never killed the radio !!!!

Keep listening music and news over your Radio Receiver ….

பூக்கார அம்மாவுக்கு கிடைத்த பெரியவா பாதுகை !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

காஞ்சி மடத்தருகில், காமாட்சி என்று ஒரு பூக்காரி இருந்தாள். அவள் பெரியவாளை “அப்பா” என்றுதான் அழைப்பாள். தினமும் ஒரு கூடை பூவினால் பெரியவாளை அர்ச்சிப்பாள்.பெரி யவா “ஏன் இப்படி பூவை வீணாக்கறே? இதை வித்தா உனக்கு காசு கிடைக்குமே!” என்பார். “காசு பெரிசா சாமி! உன் தலையில் அர்ச்சித்தால் அதற்கு மேலேயே எல்லாம் கிடைக்கும்” என்பாள். பூக்காரி.

மடத்தில் ஒரு நியதி உண்டு. பெரியவா படுத்துக்கப் போய்விட்டால் யாரும் எழுப்பக் கூடாது. ஆனால், இந்தக் காமாட்சி மட்டும் விதிவிலக்கு. எத்தனை நேரமானாலும் வரலாம். ஏனெனில், பெரியவாளே அவளிடம், ” நீ உன் வியாபாரத்தை முடித்துக் கொண்ட பிறகுதான் என்னிடம் வரணும். பாதியில் விட்டு வரக் கூடாது!” என்று கட்டளை இட்டிருந்தார்.அவளத ு பிழைப்பை தனக்காக விடுவதற்கு அந்தக் கருணாமூர்த்தி சம்மதிப்பாரா?

ஒரு நாள் பெரியவா, நாகராஜன் என்பவரை 9 மணி நியூஸ் கேட்டுச் சொல்லச் சொல்லி, கேட்டுக்கொண்டிருந& #3021;தார். வேதாந்த தத்துவங்கள் ஒரு புறம் இருந்தாலும், உலக நடப்பையும் தெரிந்து கொள்ளாமல் விடமாட்டார். அந்தச் செய்திகளை அலசி ஆராய்ந்த பிறகு படுக்கப் போக நாழி ஆகிவிடும். அன்று, புதுக்கோட்டையிலிர& #3009;ந்து “ஜானா” என்ற ஒரு பெண் பெரியவாளுக்கு வெல்வெட்டில் பாதுகை செய்து கொண்டு வந்திருந்தாள். அதைக் காலை முதல் பெரியவா கழற்றவேயில்லை. படுக்கைக்குப் போகு முன் கொட்டகை சென்று, தேகசுத்தி பண்ணிக் கொண்டு வரச் சென்றார். அப்போது நியூஸ் படிக்கும் நாகராஜன், “இன்று பெரியவா பாதுகையைக் கழட்டினதும் நான்தான் எடுத்துக்கொள்வேன், என்னிடம் பெரியவா பாதுகையே இல்லை!” என்று கழட்டுவதற்குக் காத்திருந்தார். பெரியவா பாதுகையைக் கழட்டாமலேயே உட்கார்ந்திருந்தா& #2992;். பூக்காரி வந்து நமஸ்காரம் செய்தாள். பாதுகையைக் கழற்றி பூக்காரியிடம், “இது உனக்குத்தான், எடுத்துக்கோ!” என்றார்.

“நாமொன்று நினைத்தால் தெய்வமொன்று நினைக்கிறது!” என்று நாகராஜன் குறையோடு திரும்பினார். அப்படிப்பட்ட அன்புக்கு அந்த ஏழைப்பூக்காரி பாத்திரமாயிருந்தா& #2992;். எத்தனையோ பேர் அவளிடம் லட்ச ரூபாய் தரோம், இந்தப் பாதுகையைக் கொடு என்றனர். அவள் அசையவேயில்லை. பெரியவா அவளுக்கு இந்த உலக வாழ்க்கைக்கு வேண்டிய வசதிகளெல்லாம் கிடைக்கச் செய்தார்.அவள் வீட்டுத் திருமணங்களுக்கு வண்டி,வண்டியாக கல்யாண சாமான்கள் அனுப்பினார்.

பெரியவா ஸித்தியான பிறகும், சமாதிக்கு இரவில் பூக்களால் அர்ச்சிப்பதை காமாட்சி விடவில்லை. ஆனால், பெரியவா இருக்கும்போது பூக்கூடையை வெறுமனே திருப்பாமல் ஏதாவது பழம் முதலியன போட்டுத்தான் அனுப்புவார்.அவர் மறைவுக்குப் பின் வெறுங்கூடையைப் பார்க்கவே வருத்தமாக இருந்தது. “அப்பா, நீ இருந்தா இப்படி என்னை வெறுங்கூடையுடன் அனுப்புவாயா!” என்று புலம்பினாள். கூடையை வைத்துக்கொண்டு உட்கார்ந்திவளுக்க& #3009; தூக்கிவாரிப்போடும& #3021;படி அதிஷ்டானத்திலிருந& #3021;து ஒரு சம்பரத்தைப் பூ யாரோ வீசி எறிந்தது போல் வந்து அவள் கூடையில் விழுந்தது.

இது போல் பல நிகழ்ச்சிகள் இன்னமும் நடந்து கொண்டுதான் இருக்கின்றன. பிரத்தியட்சமாக அவர் அருளைத் தந்து கொண்டுதான் வருகிறார்.

நம்பினோர் கெடுவதில்லை…..இது நான்கு மறை தீர்ப்பு.

MahaPeriavar….HE is Everything !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

Source:-Sage of Kanchi

A family went to have the darshan of HH. Along with them, they took one of their family friends who lived in the USA for some decades. The friend did not have any great faith in our religion, system and especially the monks wearing the saffron; he went along with him with utterly non-interested to meet Him. He was under the impression that HH was a fundamentalist, an uneducated monk. This NRI had no great respect at all for Him. Not only that, he uttered such inauspicious things about Him, ‘what does He know? Does He know English?’.

There was a big throng of devotees at the Mutt and the family was standing in a decent distance from Him. As usual, HH saw this family with His graceful eyes, and called all of them near to Him.

They all went near Him, the friend too.

After all the usual courteous enquires towards the family, the Master looked at the NRI friend and asked about his details, including his name, whereabouts, his predecessors, where he is working etc etc.

Then He asked, ‘you are born in India, and you know Tamil; your wife was also born in India and should know the mother tongue. When you two converse will it be in Tamil or English?’

The friend replied ‘We never use Tamil at home, we use only English. The same goes for the kids also.’

Then HH asked, ‘before speaking, you may have to think and conceive the sentence. Is the thought process in Tamil or English?’

The friend replied, ‘That too in English only’.

Some minutes later, an old lady came to HH’s darshan.

HH looked at the NRI person and said, ‘This old lady is now very poor, but once upon a time she was very rich. But even after she lost all the materialistic wealth her devotion towards the Mutt, Acharya and me has never changed even a bit. Could you please tell me what is the English word which will describe this unflinching devotion, which can’t be changed by external situations? I would like to know.’

The man was flummoxed. He thought and thought for a while but did not know that word.

HH told him, ‘please take your time and let me know’.

Even after some time, he couldn’t come up with the required word.

Then HH said, ‘Can I suggest one word? Could you please confirm whether the same can convey this meaning? EQUIPOISED’.

The man was spellbound and fell on HH’s lotus feet for pardon.

HH is SARVAGNAN, He knows everything and He is everything.

Take Off in the Miniature Airport !!!

Miniature airport           This is unbelievable !!!!
 
 
This must have required as much planning as the real thing.  
 
Amazing. I love the take offs!
 
 
It is hard to believe that all these Aircraft operations are ‘dummy” ….It is so realistic that you feel as if you are
sitting in control tower and watching aircraft movements and vehicle movements  on the dotted lines!!!!

Message For The Day….Grow in Self Respect and Dignity…

NatarajanLeave a comment

Detachment (vairagya) is a result of the Lord’s Grace; it needs years of yearning and struggle. Meanwhile begin today with the first step, which is cleansing of your mind and cultivation of virtues. Even if you are unable to start or follow these, at least do not laugh at those who do and discourage them. Do not depend upon others for doing your work or have someone attend to your personal wants. Do them yourself – that is the mark of being truly self-reliant and free! Never accept anything free from anyone. You must pay it back, in service or work. Thus, you will make yourselves self-respecting individuals. Receiving a favour means getting bound to the giver. Grow in self-respect and dignity. That is the best service you can do to yourself.

Message For The Day…Adopt Good Attitude…

NatarajanLeave a comment

All of you are under the sentence of imprisonment in the world of birth and death (samsara). When a prisoner is taken from one place to another, he is accompanied by two constables. So too, when you move from one prison (body) to another, the constables, egoism (ahamkaram) and attachment (mamakaram) accompany you. In the prison, you have to do the work you are ordered to, and do it well. You cannot argue that rewards are not distributed justly, and also you are not entitled to desist from your allotted task. If you do, your sentence will be extended or you will be transferred to another jail. On the other hand, if you quietly accept the sentence and go about your work without clamour or murmur, your term will be reduced, you may be released! Become aware of your sentence, adopt good attitude and earnestly practise the means to set yourself free!

Just For Laugh !!!….Is Moped a Threat to Ferrari ?!!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

An elderly man on a Moped, looking about 80 years old, pulls up next to a doctor at a street light.

 

The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks  

 

‘What kind of car ya got there, sonny ?’ 

The doctor replies, ‘A Ferrari GTO.  

It cost half a million dollars ! ‘ 

‘That’s a lot of money,’ says the old man.  

‘Why does it cost so much?’ 

‘Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!’ states the doctor proudly. 

The Moped driver asks, ‘Mind if I take a look inside?’

‘No problem,’ replies the doctor. 

So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. 

Then, sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, ‘That’s a pretty nice car, all right… but I’ll stick with my Moped !’ 

Just then the light changes,  

So the doctor decides to show  

The old man just what his car can do.   

He floors it, and within 30 seconds  

The speedometer reads 160 mph. 

Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror.  It seems to be getting closer! 

He slows down to see what it could be  

And suddenly WHOOOOSSSHHH ! 

Something whips by him going much faster ! 

‘ What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari ?’ the doctor asks himself. 

He presses harder on the accelerator  

And takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph. 

Then, up ahead of him,  

He sees that it’s the old man on the Moped! 

Amazed that the Moped could pass his Ferrari, he gives it more gas  

And passes the Moped at 275 mph  

And he’s feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him AGAIN! 

Astounded by the speed of this old guy,  

He floors the gas pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph. 

Not ten seconds later, he sees the Moped bearing down on him again! 

The Ferrari is flat out,  

And there’s nothing he can do! 

Suddenly, the Moped plows  

Into the back of his Ferrari,  

Demolishing the rear end. 

The doctor stops and jumps out and unbelievably the old man is still alive. 

He runs up to the banged-up old guy and says, ‘I’m a doctor…. Is there anything I can do for you?’ 

The old man whispers,  

” UNHOOK MY SUSPENDERS FROM YOUR SIDEVIEW MIRROR !!!!”
