Message For the Day…”Peel Away the Skin of of Your Ego and Remove the Seeds of Evil Thoughts …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

The fruit of love is present in each and every person’s life. The only task to be done to experience the fruit is to remove the outer skin. Once you peel the skin of the fruit, also remove the bitter seeds within it. Then you can extract the sweet juice, partake it and discard the pulp. Understand that God has given you this body only to relish the sweetness of Love. Peel away the skin of ego and ostentatiousness. Remove all the seeds of evil intentions, thoughts and deeds. Discard the pulp of possession and attachment. Then what remains is the sweet juice of love. All of you are farmers. You must engage in spiritual practices to cultivate your heart. Is there any use for an uncultivated land? Without wasting your life and keeping the land barren, focus on cultivating your heart to enjoy the sweetness of the Divine.

Joke of the Day !!!…” Port Left… ” !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

Once upon a time there was a famous sea captain. This captain was very successful at what he did; for years he guided merchant ships all over the world. Never did stormy seas or pirates get the best of him. He was admired by his crew and fellow captains. However, there was one thing different about this captain. Every morning he went through a strange ritual. He would lock himself in his quarters and open a small safe. In the safe was an envelope with a piece of paper inside. He would stare at the paper for a minute, and then lock it back up. Afterwards, he would go about his daily duties. For years this went on, and his crew became very curious. Was it a treasure map? Was it a letter from a long lost love? Everyone speculated about the contents of the strange envelope.

One day the captain died at sea. After laying the captain’s body to rest, the first mate led the entire crew into the captain’s quarters. He opened the safe, got the envelope, and opened it and… The first mate turned pale and showed the paper to the others. Four words were on the paper; two lines with two words each:

Port Left

Message For The Day…” Realize That Your Peace Depends On the Peace of Those Around You …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

God is love and He is pleased with the pure hearted who love Him 100%. Make every effort to experience the indweller (Dehi) within the body (deha). The Dehi (Divine Soul) within you is immortal with no birth or death. Don’t forget that you are alive due to His Grace. You must necessarily do your bit to take care of your body without being attached to it. Always keep in view the Dehi within, connect with Him and discharge your duties. At the end of every day or every meeting, pray, “May all the beings in all the Worlds be happy” (Samasta Loka Sukhino Bhavanthu). Realize that the individual peace depends on the peace of those around you. Therefore always pray for the wellbeing and peace of everyone in the Universe.

Joke of the Day…” For Finding Fire Hydrants… ” !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

A nursery school driver was delivering a van full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog’s duties.

‘They use him to keep crowds back,’ said Tommy.

‘No,’ said Billy, ‘he’s just for good luck.’

Peter brought the argument to a close. ‘They use the dogs, he said firmly, to find the fire hydrants….’

Joke for the Week end …..” I stepped on A Duck….” !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

Three women die together in an accident
And go to heaven.

When they get there, St. Peter says,
‘We only have one rule here in heaven:
Don’t step on the ducks!’

So they enter heaven, and sure enough,
There are ducks all over the place.
It is almost impossible not to step on a duck,
And although they try their best to avoid them,
The first woman accidentally steps on one.

Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw.
St. Peter chains them together and says,
‘Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to
Spend eternity chained to this ugly man!’
The next day,
The second woman steps accidentally on a duck
And along comes St. Peter,
Who doesn’t miss a thing.
With him is another extremely ugly man.
He chains them together
With the same admonishment as for the first woman.

The third woman has observed all this and,
Not wanting to be chained
For all eternity to an ugly man, is very,
VERY careful where she steps.

She manages to go months
Without stepping on any ducks,
But
One day St.Peter comes up to her
With the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on
…. Very tall, long eyelashes, muscular.

St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.

The happy woman says,
‘I wonder what I did to deserve being
Chained to you for all of eternity?’

The guy says,
‘I don’t know about you,
But I stepped on a
Duck.!!!!

” உலகத்தில் எல்லோரும் ஒரே மாதிரி இருப்பதில்லை …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

 



“பக்கத்துக்கு வீட்டுக்காரர் ரொம்பவும் தொல்லை கொடுக்கிறார். போலீஸில் புகார் கொடுக்க போகிறேன்..”

ஸ்ரீமடத்தின் நீண்டகால பக்தர் அவர்.

பெரியவாள் அவரை உற்று பார்த்தார்கள்.

“என்கிட்ட கன்சல்டேஷனுக்கு வந்திருக்கியா? இல்லை, பர்மிஷியன் கேட்க வந்திருக்கியா?”

பக்தர் கலங்கி போய்விட்டார். பெரியவாள் இப்படி பளிச்சென்று கேட்பார்கள் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கவில்லை. 

“ஹி … வந்து…எப்படி உத்திரவாகிறதோ அப்படி…” என்று இழுத்தார்.

“உலகத்தில் எல்லோரும் ஒரே மாதிரி இருப்பதில்லை. அதனால், எல்லோரிடமும் விரோதம் கொள்ள முடியுமா? விரோதத்தை வளர்த்து கொண்டால் கொஞ்சநஞ்சம் சாந்தியும் போயிடும்.. பக்கத்துக்கு வீட்டுக்காரனை எதிர்த்து இரைச்சல் போடாதே. கஷ்டத்தை பொறுத்துண்டு பேசாமல் இரு. தோற்று போயிட்டோமோ என்ற எண்ணம் வரும். தோற்று போனால் தான் என்ன..? அவன் நாளைடைவில் அடங்கி போயிடுவான். இவன் கையாலாகாதவன் என்று விட்டுவிடுவான்… தேவைபட்டால் அவனுக்கு உதவி செய். தானாகவே திருந்திடுவான்…”

பக்தர் “உத்திரவு” என்று சொல்லி, பெரியவாள் அறிவுரையை ஏற்றுக்கொண்டு போனார்.

பகைமையை – அண்டை அயலாருடன் விரோதத்தை – வளரவிடகூடாது. இது, பெரியவாளின் தீர்மானமான கொள்கை .

Message For the Day…” What is Sacrifice …? “

NatarajanLeave a comment

The wellbeing of countries and even the universe depends upon morality. Without morality, nations will be ruined. There may be many people who use education and influence to earn money, but truly great people have upheld the highest morality in their lives. You must be prepared to sacrifice. Sacrifice does not mean relinquishing your possessions. It means working really hard to earn a good name in the society you live in and bringing a good name to where you were raised. Your good name will last longer, and it will be eternal and permanent only with sacrifice. Scriptures explain the supremacy of sacrifice declaring, ‘sacrifice alone leads one to immortality’ (Tyagenaike Amrutathwa Manuashuhu).

8 Million Flower Petals Rain Down on a Village !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

 

A glorious eruption of vibrantly-colored flower petals – 8 million of them – has flooded through a small village in Costa Rica. The surreal and beautiful sight is part of SONY’s advertisement campaign for their new 4K Ultra HD line of TV sets.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about this advertisement stunt is that these billowing waves of petals are real. It took the creative team behind the endeavor and the inhabitants of the village more than two weeks to collect the 8 million flower petals used, which ended up weighing about 3.5 tons.

A British special effects team brought various wind machines to blow the petals around and create the amazing sights in the video. Some visual effects were added, but director Jaron Albertin assures us that as much of the video as possible is real. Sony’s behind-the-scenes video also indicates that all of the petals were either real or from some biodegradable material. The video was commissioned by the McCann advertising agency, and photographer Nick Meek shot photos of the whole affair.

The reason the video uses 8 million flower petals is because that’s the number of pixels on the 4K TV’s screen. The video will be used to demonstrate this new ultra-high-definition screen’s sharp display and color capabilities.
