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.

Samsung….A Success Story …Worth Reading !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

Samsung flash memory and processors

In the past year and a half, Samsung, a company that makes everything from dishwashers to smartphones, has become one the most powerful and recognizable names in tech.

A lot of people are even lumping Samsung together with Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google as one of the most important tech companies right now.
So how did Samsung get to where it is today?

Samsung was founded by Byung-Chull Lee in 1938 in Taegu, Korea. The company started as a food exporter in Korea and shipped items like dried fish and flour to China.

Samsung got into other businesses throughout the 1950s and 1960s, including life insurance and textiles.

Samsung Electronics started in 1969. That division mostly made TVs. Samsung’s first black and white TV went on sale in 1970.

Samsung expanded into even more fields in the 1970s, including petrochemicals. It also started making washing machines, refrigerators, and microwaves.

Samsung began to focus even more on electronics in the 1980s. The company began producing color TVs, personal computers, VCRs, and tape recorders. This was also the decade Samsung started exporting more of its products to North America.

Samsung teamed up with BP in 1989 to form Samsung BP Chemicals. The company sells chemical products in Korea.

In the early and mid-1990s, Samsung started producing memory and hard drives for use in personal computers. That’s still a big part of Samsung’s business today.

According to company legend, one of Samsung’s first mobile phones did not work when it came out in 1995. When Samsung’s chairman Kun-Hee Lee found out, he visited the factory where the phones were made and reportedly had the entire inventory burned.

After that initial slip up, Samsung began taking mobile more seriously by the late 1990s. It released one of its first Internet-ready phones in 1999. Mobile would eventually grow into Samsung’s most profitable business.

In the late 1990s, Samsung made more advances in television. It created the world’s first mass-produced digital TV in 1998. It had a full lineup of digital TVs by 1999.

Samsung began making HD TVs in the early 2000s. It went on to make Blu-Ray players and other home theater equipment. Today, Samsung makes some of the best HD TVs you can buy

Samsung introduced its first flagship Android phone, the Galaxy S, at the Mobile World Congress in 2010. The phone is now in its third generation and regarded as one of the best smartphones you can buy.

Samsung released the Galaxy Tab in the fall of 2010. The 7-inch device was the first mainstream Android tablet.

Samsung showed off its take on the future of television at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show. The company’s new Smart TVs suck in programming data from your cable or satellite provider and recommend shows and movies.

Apple”s iWatch….Some Exciting Features ….

NatarajanLeave a comment

Apple has the potential to drastically reinvent the traditional smart watch.     apple iwatch on wrist
There are already a host of smartwatches out there, like the Cookoo Watch and Pebble, and one source tells us that Google’s currently working on a smart watch of its own.
Earlier this year, reports emerged of Apple’s apparent plans to start making a smartwatch.
According to Bruce Tognazzini, a principal with the Nielsen Norman Group and former Apple employee who specializes in human-computer interaction, an Apple iWatch could have a vast impact on our lives.

Here are several reasons why you should be really excited:

Apple can solve the “having-to-remove-the-watch-from-your-arm-problem” by implementing wireless charging, which the company holds a patent for.
Apple’s patent for curved glass screens could help reduce the clunky factor.
There won’t need to be a bunch of buttons and menus because Siri will be able to handle complex tasks.
The iWatch could facilitate communication with your iPhone so you can see who’s calling.
It could eliminate the need for typing in passwords on Apple devices.
You may never lose your iPhone again because the iWatch will alert you if you start moving out of range.
It could use sensors to track how many calories you’re burning and miles you’re walking, and monitor things like blood pressure.
If the NFC chip makes its way to the iWatch, you could just swipe your watch over a reader to make payments.
It will very likely support music functions.
The iWatch could function as remote control via compatibility with Siri.
Apple could use the iWatch to fix its maps by using crowdsourced pressure data.

நான் ஒரு தமிழன் ஆக பிறக்க வேண்டும் ….சொன்னது மகாத்மா காந்தி !!!!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

“ நான் அடுத்த பிறவியில் தமிழனாகப் பிறக்க வேண்டும் ” இப்படி சொன்னவர் யார் தெரியுமா…? நம் தேச தந்தை காந்தியடிகள்…!

மகாத்மா காந்தியடிகள், உலகப் புகழ்பெற்ற எழுத்தாளர் லியோ டால்ஸ்டாய்க்கு ஒரு கடிதம் எழுதினார். அக்கடிதத்தில் ‘தம்மைத் துன்புறுத்து வோரையும் தண்டிக்காது மன்னிக்கும் குணம் பற்றித் தாங்கள் கூறியிருக்கும் செய்தி, என்னை மிகவும் கவர்ந்தது’ என்று குறிப்பிட்டார்.

கடிதத்தைப் படித்த லியோ டால்ஸ்டாய் மிகுந்த தன்னடக்கத்தோடு, ‘இந்தப் பெருமையும், புகழும் எனக்கு உகந்ததல்ல. உங்கள் தேசத்தில், தமிழ்நாட்டில் பிறந்து, திருக்குறள் எனும் அற்புத நூலைப் படைத்த திருவள்ளு வரையே சாரும். இதோ, அப்பொருள் உணர்த்தும் குறள்’ என்று ஆங்கிலத்தில் மொழி பெயர்க்கப்பட்ட திருக்குறளைக் குறிப்பிட்டிருந்தார். அந்தக் குறள்…

இன்னா செய்தாரை ஒறுத்தல் அவர்
நாண நன்னயம் செய்து விடல்.

இந்நிகழ்வுக்குப் பின், ஆங்கிலத்தில் மொழி பெயர்க்கப்பட்ட திருக்குறளை காந்தி படித்தார். பின், ‘நான் அடுத்த பிறவியில் தமிழனாகப் பிறக்க வேண்டும். ஏன் தெரியுமா? ஆங்கிலத்தில் படிக்கும்போதே… இத்தனை சுவையாக இருக்கிற திருக்குறளின் மூலநூலை தமிழ்மொழியில் படிக்க வேண்டும். அதற்காகவே, நான் ஒரு தமிழனாகப் பிறக்க வேண்டும்’ என்றார்.

தமிழனாய் பிறந்ததில் பெருமை கொள்வோம்…! தமிழன் என்று சொல்லடா !!!!!தலை நிமிர்ந்து நில்லடா !!!!

Message For The Weekend….Make the Intellect Master of Your Mind….

NatarajanLeave a comment

A lame man and a blind man became friends and they moved from one place to another, with the lame man riding on the shoulder of the blind. One day, the lame man saw a field of yellow cucumber and suggested to the blind man that they pick a few and eat their fill. The blind man asked, “Brother, have they fenced the crop?” The lame man said, “No!” The blind man said, “Then let us move on, you know there are sweet and bitter varieties – if these vegetables are left unguarded – they must be bitter!” The blind man, by his intellect, was able to discover that they were bitter even without tasting them. He used the intelligence to perceive the truth faster and clearer. Make the intellect the Master of your mind and you will not fail; you will fail only when the senses establish mastery over the mind. Clarify your intelligence through spiritual discipline.

Divine Image For the Day….with a Story of Inspiration…..

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

This is a beautiful story – it might inspire you!
What Good Does The Bhagavad Gita Do?
An old farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Bhagavath Gita. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.
One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I try to read the Bhagavath Gita just like you but I don’t understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Bhagavath Gita do?”
The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house.
The grandfather laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home.
Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead.
The old man said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough,” and he went out the door to watch the boy try again.
At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got back to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty.
Out of breath, he said, “See Grandpa, it’s useless!” “So you think it is useless?” The old man said, “Look at the basket.”
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.
“Son, that’s what happens when you read the Bhagavath Gita. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of Krishna in our lives!”

” Promise Yourself “…..

Natarajan1 Comment

“Promise Yourself”

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”
