Message For The Day…”wherever you are , You will See GOD if your heart is pure “…
A bullock cart cannot move on rails nor a locomotive on the road. Each type of vehicle has its own type of road. But all move forward and reach the goal in their own good time. Same is the case, whatever be your functional role (Varna) in the society. Each Varna has its own set of rules, regulations and restrictions. Be it the Varnas or Ashramas (the various stages of life with their fixed duties), they are merely convenient arrangement for the conduct of worldly affairs and paths to attain supra-worldly joy. Whether head or heels, it is the same blood that circulates through each; it is the same body which claims them as limbs. Each limb has to perform its task, the task for which it has specialised. You cannot walk on your head or think with the feet. Whichever section of society you may belong to, the Lord is revealed when the heart is pure.

“இனிமையான ‘ழ ‘ இருக்கும் இடம் ‘தமிழ் ‘ “…!!!
தமிழ் மொழியிலே கூட அவருக்கிருக்கும் [பெரியவா] அறிவு
முத்தமிழ்க் காவலர்களையெல்லாம் பிரமிக்க வைக்கிறது.
ஒரு முறை கி.வா.ஜ விடம், “தமிழ் என்றால் என்ன?” என்று
கேட்டார். மேலும்”சம்ஸ்கிருதம் என்றால், செம்மை செய்யப்பட்ட
மொழி என்று அர்த்தம்! அப்படி தமிழுக்கு ஏன் அந்தப் பெயர்
வந்தது சொல்லுங்கள்!” என்கிறார். கி.வா.ஜ. அடக்கமாக,
“பெரியவா சொன்னால் தெரிந்து கொள்கிறேன்!” என்றார்.
“எந்த மொழியிலும் இல்லாத சிறப்பான எழுத்து ‘ழ’ என்பது.
இந்த எழுத்து வரக் கூடிய எந்தச் சொல்லும், அழகு,இனிமை
அவற்றைக் குறிப்பதாகவே இருக்கும்.
மழலை,குழல்,அழகு,குழந்தை, சுழல்,பழம்,யாழ் இப்படி ‘ழ’
வருகிற எல்லாமே நமக்குப் பிடித்தவை. ஆகவே இனிமையான
“ழ’வைத் தம்மிடத்தில் உடையது ‘தமிழ்'[தமி+ழ்] என்று
சொல்லலாமா?” என்கிறார். உடனே கி.வா.ஜ., “இதைவிடப்
பொருத்தமாக சொல்ல முடியுமா? இனி எல்லா
மேடைகளிலும் நான் இதைச் சொல்லுவேன்!” என்றாராம்.
சீர்காழிப் பதிகத்தில் நற்றமிழ் வல்ல ஞானசம்பந்தர் பாடியிருக்கும்
“யாமா மாநீ யாமா மா” என்ற மாற்றுமாலைப் பதிகம் மிகவும்
கடினம்.அவற்றுள் இன்றைப் பெரியவா எடுத்து, மிகவும்
கடினமான அந்தப் பதிகத்தைப் பிரித்து மிக எளிமைப்படுத்திப்
பொருள் சொன்னார்.பெரிய வித்வான்களே பிரமித்துப் போனார்கள்.
“அதுபோல் காளமேகப் புலவர் பாடிய பாடிய பாடல்களில் ஒன்று,
முக்கால்,அரை,கால்,இருமா,மாகாணி,ஒருமா,கீழரை என்று
குறந்துகொண்டே வர்ம். அளவுகளை வைத்து எழுதுகிறார்
தெரியுமா?” என்று கேட்டு,
முக்காலுக்கு ஏகாமல் முன்னரையில் வீழாமுன்
அக்கா வரைக்கால் கண்டு அஞ்சா முன்
விக்கி இருமாமுன், மாகாணிக்கேகாமுன்
கச்சி ஒருமாவின் கீழரை இன்றோது…..
என்ற பாட்டைபெரியவா எடுத்துக் காட்டுகிறார். அதன் பொருளையும்
தனக்கே உரிய முறையில்,
“முக்கால்-னா மூன்று கால்கள். வயதான பின் இரண்டு காலில்
நடக்கத் தள்ளாடி ஒரு தடியை மூன்றவது காலாகப்
பயன்படுத்துகிறோமே..அந்த நிலை வருவதற்குள்,
‘முன்னரையில் வீழாமுன்’..நரை வருவதற்கு முன்னாலே,
‘விக்கலும் இருமலும்’ வருவதற்கு முன்..யமனுடைய
காலடி நம்மை அணுகவதற்கு முன்…ஊருக்கு வெளியிலுள்ள
‘மாகாணி’ என்ற சுடுகாட்டுக்குப் போகும் முன்..காஞ்சியில்
ஒரு மாமரத்தின் கீழ் உள்ள ஏகாம்பரேசுவரரை
இன்றைக்கே துதிப்பாய்!”
என்று மிக அழகாக விளக்குகிறார். மேலும்,
“என்ன அழகு பார்த்தேளா! ஏகாம்பரரை, அந்த ஒன்று என்ற
எண்ணுக்குக் கீழேயே கொண்டுவந்து கீழரை வரை எட்டு
அளவுகளையும் கோத்துத் துதித்திருக்கிறாரே!” என்று சொல்லிச்
சொல்லி மகிழ்ந்தார்.எதையுமே இப்படி விளக்கமாகப்
பொழிந்து தள்ளியதைக் கேட்டவர்கள் பாக்யசாலிகள்.

Message For The Day….To Kids
“San Jose …California …Instead of San Jose … Mexico ” !!!
WHAT do you do when you land at the wrong airport? This was a real question UK couple Andrew and Julie Kelham had to ask upon landing at San Jose in California after 20 hours of travelling.
The Kelham’s landed at San Jose, California … almost 2500 kilometres away from San Jose, Mexico. Picture: Flickr kasra afzali Source: NewsComAu
The couple were very excited about visiting their 21-year-old daughter, Frankie, who had been working in San Jose, Mexico for eight months. They forked out over $5500 for the 14-day trip.
Booking their travel arrangements through travel firm Thomas Cook in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, they jetted off anticipating an emotional reunion with their daughter – and a well-deserved family break.
However, instead of landing in San Jose, Mexico as anticipated, the tired couple landed in San Jose … in California … almost 2500 kilometres away.
It turned out they had been sent to the wrong city.
Upon landing they searched for their daughter, only realising they were in the wrong country when she called them after not being able to find them at arrivals.
Their first flight from Manchester to Chicago was correct, but the connecting flight from Chicago took them to California instead of Baja California Sur in the Mexican peninsula. The pair were booked into stay at the Royal Solaris Hotel in San Jose Los Cabos, in the Mexican peninsula of Baja California Sur.
Mrs Kelham, 51, told The Sun : ‘She was crying her eyes out. We couldn’t take it in.’
After spending an uncomfortable night at the wrong airport, the Kelham’s paid close to $1500 to fly to Mexico the next day where they were eventually reunited with their daughter. And although the pair were reimbursed, they still lost valuable time they had planned to spend with their daughter.
Mr Kelham, 50, said: ‘It was a nightmare. We missed two days with our daughter.’
A spokeswoman for the agents booking arm Netflights said: ‘We know how important holidays are for our customers and strive to meet and often exceed their expectations. The type of incident experienced by Mr and Mrs Kelham is extremely rare, and we would like to again apologise to the couple for any inconvenience caused. We’ve spoken to the couple since their return and have since resolved this matter to their satisfaction.’

Message For the Day… Faith Develops into Love and Love Results in Concentration..
A person driving a car may concentrate on the road, anxious to save oneself and others from accident. Fear is what induces single-mindedness in this case. But Love is a greater force to aid concentration. Steady and resolute love makes one’s concentration become intense and unshakeable. Faith develops into love and love results in concentration. Prayer is possible and begins to yield fruit, under such conditions. Pray, using the Name as a symbol of the Lord; pray keeping all the waves of the mind stilled. Pray, as the performance of a duty for your very real existence, as the only justification for your coming into the world, as man.
” Why Turkeys are Called Turkeys ” !!!
why turkeys are called turkeys.
In the sixteenth century, when North American turkeys were first introduced en masse to Europe, there was another bird that was popularly imported throughout Europe and, most relevant to this article, England, called a guinea fowl. This guinea fowl was imported from Madagascar via the Ottoman Empire.
The merchants who imported the guinea fowl were thus known as “turkey merchants.” The guinea fowl eventually were popularly referred to as “turkey fowl,” similar to how other product imported through the Ottoman Empire acquired their names, such as “turkey corn,” “turkey wheat,” etc.
The North American turkey was first introduced to Spain in the very early sixteenth century and popularly introduced to all of Europe shortly thereafter. The animal was thought by many to be a species of the type of guinea fowl that was imported via the Ottoman Empire and thus, began also being called a “turkey fowl” in English, with this eventually being shortened to just “turkey.”
- One generally considered fictitious origin for naming a turkey such, comes from the Hebrew “tuki” (Hebrew for peacock). If no one knew anything about the history of the turkey being introduced to the English speaking world, this might seem very plausible. However, the historical evidence does not back up this “tuki” origin.

Dancing Lion Cubs !!!
These heartwarming pictures show two playful cubs putting their best paws forward for a spot of lion dancing.
Swiping their claws before pouncing forward, the duo move around their ‘dancefloor’ with a sort of hap-hazard grace at the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania.
At one point the pair stand up on their back legs and touch paws – almost as though they’re about to start a ballroom dance.
Then one of the dancers takes a run up – much to the apparent alarm of its partner who watches on with a look of dread in his eyes.
Perhaps the pair were attempting to try out a lift, as performed by professional dancers. Unfortunately there is no photographic evidence as to how it turned out..
Later on, however, it would seem that one of the dancing duo has overdone it and so takes a little rest, lying on its back with its legs stretched up in the air.
Meanwhile its partner waits on patiently – eager for its next spin on the dancefloor.
The beautiful photographs were captured by professional wildlife photographer Win van den Heever, 41, from South Africa, who spent two weeks in Ndutu, Tanzania, waiting for the perfect shots of the cubs.
Mr van den Heever said: ‘I was there to photograph the annual wildebeest calving season.
‘The rains were late this year and the wildebeest were still in Serengeti waiting for the rains to arrive.
‘The animals in the area were all quite desperate for the first rains to fall and the daily dust storms would choke the air.

” How to Change a Bulb @ Heathrow ” ? …A Million $ Question !!!
How many people does it take to change a lightbulb? Well, if it is in Heathrow’s Terminal 5, apparently an entire team of high wire walkers is necessary.
When the vast £4.5billion terminal was constructed, its designers seemed to have overlooked one basic problem: how to safely change 120,000 lightbulbs when they are up to 120ft above the ground.
Since opening in 2008, not a single bulb has been replaced on its immense single-span roof, and in some areas up to 60 per cent of the lights have blown, making the concourse increasingly gloomy
High lights: Terminal 5’s bulbs are up to 120ft off the ground, making replacement difficult and incredibly there is no safe way to replace the bulbs
And an email obtained by news website Exaro suggested that Terminal 5’s owners had been unable to solve the conundrum for some time.
Having tried cherry-pickers and hydraulic boom lifts to replace the downlighters, none were deemed to be practical or safe enough.
But now, a team of specialist wire walkers has been given the job of preventing the lights going out completely.
The email, which was reportedly sent to staff by Vicki O’Brien, head of Heathrow customer service at British Airways, revealed that all the lightbulbs will now be changed in a project lasting four months.
She wrote: ‘As many of you will have seen recently, the departures concourse has been becoming darker than normal in the late afternoons/evenings, as well as in the early mornings.
‘The reason for the poor light is that 60 per cent of the downlighters have failed, and until recently Heathrow had no viable way to replace them.
‘Various things have been investigated in the past five years, but for a number of reasons none of these were practical or safe.
‘The good news is that Heathrow has now identified a safe and robust way to replace all the lightbulbs, and this is high-level rope work carried out by a specialist company.’
Plan: It will take an estimated four months and cost millions of pounds to change the bulbs at the £4.3 billion terminal to longer-lasting LEDs
The terminal is a vast building and houses the world’s largest controlled-lighting system, with 120,000 light fittings and 2,600 sensors designed to switch them off when no motion is detected.
The airport’s operators now plan to replace all the bulbs in one go with LEDs that are expected to last at least five years.
A spokesman for Heathrow said: ‘The current lighting on the Terminal 5 concourse is being replaced with environmentally friendly LED bulbs. Contingency lighting has been used on the concourse while a viable and safe solution for replacing the lights was being agreed.’
A spokeswoman for British Airways said: ‘We are working with the owners of Heathrow Airport to improve the lighting levels inside Terminal 5 due to concerns over the brightness of the terminal in the winter months.
‘Work has already started on the lighting improvements and we are confident that it will be resolved to our satisfaction very soon.’
She added that she could not confirm whether the email by Vicki O’Brien was genuine.
Airport authorities have arranged for high-wire experts to come and change the bulbs
Embarrassment: Heathrow’s Terminal 5, houses the world’s largest controlled-lighting system, is mainly used by British Airways
