Joke of the Day…” It is Free…This is Heaven …” !!!

An 85 year old couple, having been married almost 60 years, had died in a car crash.

They had been in good health the last ten years mainly due to her interest in health, food, and exercise. When they reached the pearly gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion which was decked out with a beautiful kitchen and master bath suite and Jacuzzi.

As they “oohed and aahed” the old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. “It’s free,” Peter replied, “this is Heaven.” Next, they went out back to survey the championship golf course that the home backed up to.

They would have golfing privileges every day and each week the course changed to a new one representing the great golf courses on earth. The old man asked, “what are the green fees?” Peter’s reply, “This is heaven, you play for free.”

Next, they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch with the cuisines of the world laid out. “How much to eat?” asked the old man. “Don’t you understand yet? This is heaven, it is free!” Peter replied with some exasperation. “Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol tables?” the old man asked timidly.

Peter lectured, “That’s the best part…you can eat as much as you like of whatever you like and you never get fat and you never get sick. This is Heaven.”

With that the old man went into a fit of anger, throwing down his hat and stomping on it, shrieking wildly. Peter and his wife both tried to calm him down, asking him what was wrong.

The old man looked at his wife and said, “This is all your fault! If it weren’t for your blasted bran muffins, I could have been here ten years ago!”

வாரம் ஒரு கவிதை….” கொண்டாடப்படும் தினங்கள் “

கொண்டாடப் படும் தினங்கள்
—————————-
இன்று பிறந்த நாள் ….நாளை திருமண  நாள்
நாளை மறு நாள் குழந்தை  பிறந்த நாள் !
பணம் படைத்த அவனுக்கு தேவை ஒரு காரணம்
ஒரு நாளைக் கொண்டாட … அவன் செல்வாக்கை
பறை சாற்ற ! இல்லா விட்டால் அவன் ஒரு
செல்லாக் காசு  அவன் சமூகத்தில் !
தினம் தினம் கொண்டாட்டம்தான் அவன் வீட்டில் !
தினம் தினம் ஒரு வேளை சோற்றுக்கே
திண்டாட்டம் இன்னொருவன் வீட்டில் !
வயிறார அவன் சாப்பிடும் தினம் மட்டுமே
அவனுக்கு கொண்டாட்ட தினம் !
இல்லாதவனும்  கொண்டாடும் தினமாக
இருக்க வேண்டும்  ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் !
இல்லை இனிமேல் திண்டாட்டம் ஒருவருக்கும்
இங்கே என்னும் நல்ல நாள் வர வேண்டும் என் நாட்டில் !
திண்டாட்டம் இல்லா கொண்டாட்டம் எல்லா
நாளும் இருந்து  விட்டால் எந்த ஒரு நாளை
கொண்டாட்ட  தினம் என்று சொல்வோம் நாம் ?

Message for the Day…” Jesus was supremely pure and sacred. To forget Jesus’ teachings and to profess love for Him is no love at all. You must all remember: “God is One. Love is God. Live in Love.” “

Jesus was supremely pure and sacred. To forget Jesus’ teachings and to profess love for Him is no love at all. You must all remember: “God is One. Love is God. Live in Love.” There is no use in merely invoking the name of Jesus and praying to Him without regard to His most vital message: “God is in everyone. Do not revile anyone. Do not cause harm to anyone.” This was Jesus’ greatest message. Jesus sacrificed his life to establish “Peace on earth and goodwill amongst all human beings”. Without peace, mankind cannot achieve progress in any sphere, be it material, spiritual or moral. What the world needs today is the redeeming and unifying force of love that Jesus gave – love which continually expands and embraces more and more people. Mankind should become one family. The world will then become a paradise. Hence today onwards, give up narrow ideas regarding your religion, nation, caste or creed, and develop a broad outlook. I wish you all happiness.

Message for the Day…” Celebration of Christmas should not include some carols, tableaux, artificial trees and Santa Claus. It must be soaked in the resolution to practice at least a few lessons Jesus taught us.”

Far more beneficial than honouring the great is the practice of loving them. Praise and eulogy will raise them to an unreachable pedestal. Love binds one heart to another. Gratitude for the inspiration and instruction received must bind hearts in love. Celebration of Christmas should not include some carols, tableaux, artificial trees and Santa Claus. It must be soaked in the resolution to practice at least a few lessons Jesus taught us. The very first need is faith in God and in our own Divine Nature. Spiritual joy, appreciation, and the vision (Darshan) of God must become the natural breath of life and the very purpose of your existence. Jesus taught by precept and example to mankind the Atmic principle which is the eternal source of bliss. Whatever you do, wherever you are, however you fare, be convinced that you are ever in God. Know that all is Divine and all acts are offerings to the glory of God. In this manner make your lives fruitful.

வரலாறு பேசும் அரிய புகைப்படத்தை விட்டு சென்ற விண்வெளி வீரர்!

மந்தாரமான கறுப்பு நிற திரை… கீழே பிரகாசமாக படர்ந்திருக்கும்  நீல நிறம். குட்டியாகத் தெரியும் பொம்மை போன்ற உருவம்.. ஏதோ கிராபிக்ஸ் காட்சி போன்று தோன்றலாம். ஆனால் இது விண்வெளியில் பதிவான உண்மை காட்சி. கீழே படர்ந்திருக்கும் நீல நிறம்தான் நாம் வாழும் பூமி. கறுப்பு திரை விண்வெளி. குட்டி பொம்மை போன்று மிதந்து கொண்டிருப்பவர் விண்வெளி வீரர் புரூஸ் மெக்கண்டில்ஸ் (Bruce McCandless).                                                                                                                             

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

இந்த புகைப்படம் 1984ம் ஆண்டு பதிவானது. எந்த பிடிமானமும் இல்லாமல் சுதந்திரமாக (untethered with nothing) விண்வெளியில் வலம் வந்த முதல் வீரர் என்னும் பெருமைப்பெற்றவர்  புரூஸ் மெக்கண்டில்ஸ். இவர் தனது 80 வயதில் கடந்த 21ம் தேதி காலமானார். அவரை பெருமைப்படுத்தும் விதமான அவரின் சாதனை நிமிடங்களை நாசா வெளியிட்டு வருகிறது. அவரின் இந்த புகைப்படம் விண்வெளி வரலாற்று பக்கங்களில் சிறந்த பக்கமாக விளங்கும் என்று புகழாரம் சூட்டியுள்ளது நாசா!

Message for the Day…” The Grace of the Guru helps a lot; you can win His grace by your efforts and earnest prayer.”

Be regular in the hours you devote to Japam or repetition of God’s name. On holidays, when you have no worry of office or shopping, do more Japam till late into the morning. Do with love and enthusiasm. It should become natural for you to do so. The Grace of the Guru helps a lot; you can win His grace by your efforts and earnest prayer. Vivekananda was sliding into atheism and agnosticism as he read more and more books, but a touch from the hand of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, his Guru, transformed him completely. You can also win this Grace, by your efforts and earnest prayer. Before you start meditation, chant Soham, inhaling So and exhaling Ham. Soham means ‘He is I’, it identifies you with the Infinite and expands your Consciousness. Harmonise your breath and thoughts. Breathe gently and naturally; do not make it artificial and laboured. It must flow in and out, soft and silent!

Message for the Day…”When the owner of the body discards all desires, passions and impulses, then the body becomes Dharma-kshetra (the field of righteousness)! “

Dharmakshetra and Kurukshethra are not merely places near Delhi or Hastinapur on the map of India. Nor are the Pandavas and Kauravas merely princely clans figuring in the tale. The human body is called kshetra (field), and so Dharmakshetra, is in every one. When the owner of the body discards all desires, passions and impulses, then the body becomes Dharma-kshetra (the field of righteousness)! A child has in its heart only Dharmakshetra, for it has not developed sensual desires. It accepts whatever is offered. Its ego is not yet ramified into the objective world of multiplicity. But later, when it grows branches and foliage, the Dharmakshetra takes the shape of Kurukshetra – the battlefield where the mind struggles between hope and despair, and is forced to consume the diverse fruits, sweet and bitter, as a result of its own choice of actions. Actions illumined by Jnana or wisdom bring about success. The Jnana that God alone exists can win the grace of God!
