Message For The Day….It is The Inner Charm and Harmony That Really Matters !!!
Have faith in the Lord or the Divine Spark within you, it will vitalize you. Some people bargain with God, they promise to give Him costly articles or their own hair if a certain illness is cured or a certain calamity is averted. Lord Venkateshwara or any other form of the Lord does not need your hair. Shaving off your hair indicates that you have lost the delusion that physical beauty alone counts. You take the effort to make yourself wilfully ugly and demonstrate that it is inner charm and harmony that really matters. The hero is he who does not beg or cringe or flatter or fawn. He knows that the Lord knows best. If it is His will, He will grant food and raiment; if not, let His will prevail. That is the path of absolute surrender.

Jameson’s mambas, like the one here in Cameroon, have hollow fangs that deliver toxins that can lead to respiratory paralysis—and a person’s death within hours. But scientists are working to unlock the medical potential of venom, and soon the toxins from snakes like the mamba may combat heart disease or other ailments.
Hyena, India

Photographer Yashodhan Bhatia, a member of National Geographic’s Your Shot community, was visiting Velavadar National Park (also known as Blackbuck National Park) in Gujarat state when he came upon this hyena. “The trip was on the verge of absolute failure because of the scorching summer heat,” he writes. “Coincidentally, some luck prevailed the last evening.”
Salmon and Trout, Alaska
This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Pictures
In summer, millions of fish disperse up Bristol Bay’s watershed to rivers and lakes that are breeding grounds for five species of salmon. A proposed gold mine would transform the region, possibly jeopardizing the fishery. Far upstream in unprotected Upper Talarik Creek, near the mine site, researchers found these young salmon and trout.
Cheetahs, Kalahari Desert

Cheetah siblings rest on a dune in the Kalahari Desert, which covers much of southern Africa, including parts of Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. National Geographic Big Cats Explorer Gus Mills is examining Kalahari cheetahs using trackers, radios, and DNA analyses. This data helps park managers ensure the continued existence of the cheetahs and future monitoring.

“பெரியவா என்றால் யார் ” ?!!!
பெரியவா என்றால் யார் ? – சதாசிவ சர்மா
ஒரு நாள் ஏகாந்தமாகவும் விஸ்ராந்தியாகவும் இருக்கும் பொழுது என்னுடன் பேசியது:
ஸ்ரீ பெரியவா:ஏண்டா, பெரியவான்னா என்ன?
நான்:(பதில் சொல்ல முடியாமல் முழித்தேன்)
ஸ்ரீ பெரியவா: தெரியலயா………
பெ ரி ய வா …..ன்னா என்ன?
நான்: (உண்மையாகவே ஒன்றும் புரியாமல் இருந்தேன்)
பெரியவா :ரி ………..ரி-ன்னா ரிக் வேதம்
ய …………ய -ன்னா யஜுர் வேதம்
இப்ப வார்த்த முடியப் போறது ங்கற மாதிரி கடைசி வேதத்தின்……அதாவது
அதர்வ வேதத்தின் கடைசி எழுத்தான ‘வ’. இதை சேக்கறதுக்கு முன்னாடி சாம வேதத்துக்கு
உயிர் நாடி கானம். அ…..அ…..அ… ன்னு நிறைய வரும். அது சேந்துண்டு இருக்கு.
அதாவது
ரி …….ய…….அ………வ.
இப்ப அ+வ = வா…….
இப்ப ரி ……ய…… வா சரியாய்டுத்தா..?ஏதோ என்னால முடிஞ்சது பெரியவாளோட
வேத சம்பந்தப்படுத்திட்டேன்னு
பாக்கிறயா..?ஒரே ஒரு எழுத்து மிச்சமிருக்கே! ‘பெ’ அத என்ன பண்றது?
..(ஸ்ரீ பெரியவா என்னை நிமிர்ந்து பார்த்து என் பதிலை எதிர் பார்ப்பது போல் இருந்தது.
நான் ஒன்றும் புரியாமலும், தெரியாததாலும் பதில் சொல்லாமல் இருந்தேன்)
ஸ்ரீ பெரியவா: என்ன முழிக்கறே? ஒண்ணும் புரியாம, தெரியாம இருக்கறதுக்கு என்ன பெயர் தெரியுமா?
அஞ்ஞானம்னு சொல்லுவா. அந்த அஞ்ஞானமா இருக்கறவாள

வேதத்தோட சம்பந்தப்படுத்தறது தான் இந்த வார்த்தைன்னு தெரியறதா?.
அஞ்ஞானிகளை யார் ரிக், யஜுர், சாம அதர்வ வேத மார்க்கத்திலே மாத்தறாளோ அவாதான் “பெரியவா“
(எனக்கு இப்போதுதான் புரிந்தது அஞ்ஞானியான என்னை வேத மார்க்கத்தைக் காட்டியவராக
இவர் இருப்பதினால்தான் நாம், ஏன்,
எல்லோருமே “பெரியவா” என்று கூப்பிடுகிறோம்னு.

English is a Strange Language !!!!
English is the easiest language to learn, mostly because it doesn’t make use of male/female for everything, like other languages do. But even being easy to learn, it doesn’t mean that it’s easy to master, or that it doesn’t have some pretty weird attributes that have made their way into the language with time.
Double Use Words:
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time topresent the present.
8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear..
19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
Let’s face it – English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig..

” இது தேவராஜ ரகசியம் ” !!!
பெரியவா தேனம்பாக்கத்தில் தங்கியிருந்த சமயம். ஸ்ரீ வரதராஜப் பெருமாள் கோவில் சீமா பட்டாசாரியாரை அழைத்து வரும்படி சொன்னார். அவரும் வந்து வந்தனம் செய்தார்.
“இன்னிக்கு என்ன திதி?”
பட்டர் மெதுவாக “ஏகாதசி” என்றார்.
“உபவாசம் நமக்கு மட்டும் தானா? இல்லே, வரதனுக்கும் தானா?”
பட்டர் திகைத்துப் போய் நின்றார்.
“பெருமாளுக்கு இன்னிக்கு நைவ்வேத்யம் ஏன் செய்யல்லே?”
அதிர்ச்சியடைந்த பட்டர் நாக்குழற “தெரியல்லே.. விசாரிச்சிண்டு வரேன்” என்று கலவரத்துடன் கோயிலுக்குச் சென்றார்.
விசாரணையில் உள்கட்டில் ஏதோ தவறு நடந்துள்ளது என்ற உண்மை தெரிய வந்தது. அதை சரி செய்து, தக்க பிராயச்சித்தம் செய்து, பெருமாளுக்கு திருவமுது படைத்து, பிராசதத்தை பெரியவாளுக்கு திருவமுது படைத்து, ப்ரஸாதத்தை கொண்டுவந்து சமர்ப்பித்தார் பட்டர்.
வரதராஜ பெருமாளுக்கு நைவ்வேத்தியம் நடக்கவில்லை என்பது பெரியவாளுக்கு எப்படி தெரிந்தது? தெரிந்திருந்தாலும், அதைப்பற்றி அவர்கள் கவலைப் படுவானேன்?
தேவரகசியம் என்கிறார்களே? அது இதுதானோ? இல்லை, இது தேவராஜ ரகசியம்..! (வரதராஜருக்கு, தேவராஜன் என்ற திருநாமம் உண்டு.)

Message For The Day…Listen to Your Conscience For Walking On The Right Path !!!
Illusion (maya) envelops the good with the blemish of the bad. It makes evil glitter with the shine of the good. Discriminate to the best of your capacity and develop your capacity to discriminate. Struggle to win, that is the best that you can do. Your conscience knows well the source of joy and happiness. It will prod you towards the right path. You must take it as your guide and not disobey it, every time it contradicts your whim or fancy. There is no need for you to retire into a forest or a cave to know your inner Truth and to conquer your lower nature. As a matter of fact, you have no choice to exercise your vices there, so the victory achieved there may not be genuine or lasting. Be in the world, yet away from its tentacles. This is the victory for which you deserve congratulations.
Message For The Day….Service Must Be Extended To Animal Kingdom Too !!!

Compensation Cheque For Rs Two !!!..Farmers “Stunned” !!!
The Haryana government has left farmers of Beri tehsil (Jhajjar district) high and dry by giving them cheques with single figures of Rs 2 – Rs 3.
Some ‘lucky’ farmers, however, got compensation in two figures of Rs 30 – Rs 31. Interestingly, the cheques are of a private bank (Axis bank) which has a branch in Jhajjar.
This compensation dates back to 2011 when the standing crops in Beri tehsil were damaged due to water logging.
Derisory sums: The Haryana government sent the cheques to Jhajjar farmers as compensation“We were stunned. We first thought that there had been a mistake but when we checked with the tehsildar he confirmed that the amounts on the cheques were correct. The banks are situated in Jhajjar and the bus fare to get there is Rs 14,” said Satya Narayan, son of Hari Singh who received a cheque of Rs 2 .
This issue is being hotly debated in Haryana and has given a chance to the opposition to criticise the state government.
“Haryana government has ridiculed the poor farmers by issuing these cheques. This is a cruel joke on farmers who lost their valuable crops,” said one MLA.
